She recommended some chili cheese fries with bacon and it was absolutely delicious! Will continue ordering it this way when I get back home to CA. The service overall is very friendly and thorough. From ordering, to the pick up at the end. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. The rodeo burger is my favorite here. Crispy onions rings, red onions, and melted cheese inside the burger really hits the spot.

They have all your classic menu items - beef sandwiches, hot dogs etc. I love the beef sandwich at Portillo's and experienced great customer service from the manager Valaria, my order was incorrect initially, but she corrected it very quickly and was super friendly. Definitely recommend this location if you want to take out Portillo's.

For those who don't know, Small Cheval is the fast casual version of Au Cheval which I've had the opportunity to try in NYC. There's plenty of locations throughout Chicago so definitely make it a stop when you're in town. Now is it as good as Au Cheval? Definitely not but at one-third of the price point, it's hard to complain. The beef patties are well-seasoned with crispy edges and just the right amount of fattiness. My main complaint is that there wasn't nearly enough dijonnaise sauce or pickles, making this pretty dry. The bun was nicely buttered and toasted but almost took away from the contents inside the burger. The Famous Fried Chicken Tenders were also a good try. I could tell the chicken was clean & high quality but there was some flavor I couldn't quite place which made it a bit off-putting; thankfully it wasn't super noticeable especially with the sauces. The Golden Fries were delicious and paired well with the burger & tenders! Even the Cookies & Cream Milkshake was solid! Classic milkshake with a good balance of creaminess, sweetness, and texture from the cookie bits. The interior was also bright, spacious, and comfortable! All in all, really solid try!

It's like going to a burger place with a bar inside. I would also have to add with a side of a malt shop thrown in. The lady who took our order was very friendly. Both her and the guy making the shakes seemed competent and efficient. They were both just over worked. There was a rush when we came in so it put them behind. Everything was in good repair. There was no damage to the seats and tables and for the most part they were clean. The things that didn't work for me were the possible understaffing, and the lack of a good onion. I asked for raw onion on my burger. I inspected my burger for it and couldn't find it. So I asked for some more. She was very helpful and handed me a tiny container of minced onions. Apparently that's all they have. I do like a good slice of onion on my burger. If you're looking for a good quick bite to eat or a very tasty shake, this is a great choice! I would come back if the mood struck.

If you're looking for a no frills burger joint and just want a good ole burger with fresh cut…read morefries, Sandlot is the place for you. Don't expect fancy dining and instagrammable views. Just expect good food, fast. Their menu is simple: burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, fries, pop, and milkshakes. The burgers come in either a single, double, or triple stack, with cheese. I got the cheeseburger and hubby got the two on two (double stack) and we were satisfied with the burgers. It was simple, juicy, grilled and good. The whole family loved the fries. Service was pretty fast, we got ours in less than 10 minutes. Dining tables are available inside to eat, and also a few tables outside in the parking lot if you prefer the outdoors. If you are familiar with the movie The Sandlot, they have their pictures all over the walls. Not sure if they are directly affiliated with the movie, but it definitely brings back that nostalgia. Overall, great burger joint and I would come back again!

I went in expecting a solid burger, but what I got was something much more deliberate--almost…read moreengineered. This wasn't just a stack of ingredients; it felt like every layer had a purpose. The bun was the first signal they knew what they were doing--lightly toasted, just enough structure to hold everything together without stealing attention. Then came the patty: thick, juicy, with that perfect sear that gives you a bit of crisp before it melts into richness. But the real centerpiece? The fried egg. Perfectly cooked--edges slightly crisp, yolk still runny. The moment you bite in, it breaks and seeps into the meat, turning each bite into something borderline indulgent. It doesn't overpower the burger; it elevates it, adding a creamy texture that balances the salt and char of the beef. The toppings were minimal but intentional--fresh lettuce for crunch, a slice of tomato for brightness, and just enough sauce to tie it all together without making a mess. It's the kind of burger that makes you slow down halfway through, not because you're full, but because you realize it deserves your full attention. Messy in the best way, rich without being overwhelming, and anchored by that fried egg that takes it from good to unforgettable.

When we come here, it's specifically for the burgers and we've had a couple of them but my favorite is the bison burger with a sunny-side egg.

I also love the military artwork outside as I'm an Army Ranger on the inside...but I'm a foodie on the outside....Their creed is to never leave a fallen Ranger, no matter what the cost..

Their food literally made me sick. First, either the burger…read morepatty or buns were "off." I've had Five Guys a couple of times and this exact burgers with the same toppings before so I know what it is suppose to taste like. After a bite, I opened the burger and it didn't smell right so that stopped me in my tracks. Then, I tried the fries and almost choked on the salt caked all over it. Whoever took care of the fries must not have paid attention to what they were doing or someone double-salted it. I took pictures because it is insane how much salt that was not only on the fries but at the bottom of the bag. It is difficult to see the picture of the salt in the bag but the entire bottom of the bag was covered in salt. Everything was inedible and what I ate which was a handful of fries (after I tried wiping off the salt from it with napkins) and that bite of the burger made me sick! I reported this to their corporate office and so far I only got an automated email asking for another chance. Good luck with that. I will follow-up with Cook County Department of Health because they will make other people sick. I will NEVER go there or any Five Guys again. Someone needs to see how they are handling the food and retrain their staff. I am 99.9% sure I would be dealing with something a lot more serious if I ate that entire meal. But, I still sick to my stomach.

He enjoyed his peri-peri wrap as well but I HAD to let him know that what we had for lunch today was NOT as fantastic as the one I had the first time. Don't get me wrong. It was good but DEFINITELY wasn't as delicious as before! So, I suggest if you wanna taste a phenomenal peri-peri wrap, go around midnight.

A short fuse and a close call…read more After Emily and I checked in to our hotel room, we wanted to stretch our legs and see if there was anything nearby for some beer and some food. Turns out, Short Fuse was right up the road and a 5 minute walk got us there. For a Sunday, it wasn't too busy but not dead, so we got seated right away. We ordered some beer and took a look at the menu. While nothing really struck our fancy, our waitress made a comment that if we did want any food, it might be slim pickings as they were running out of stuff. Turns out, this day was the last day they were open. Talk about timing! After she mentioned that, I started to notice that people were buying bar signs and various other things. Emily started off with a Guava Gose and I grabbed a Krankshaft kolsch. We sampled each other beers and we both really liked what the other ordered. I don't really know what a gose is but, damn, was that good! I've had Krankshaft before so I knew what I was getting myself in to. We ended up ordering a second round of the same beers and let each other sample the other's beer a little more liberally this time. While we were kind of hungry, nothing on the menu really struck our fancy, especially considering they might've been out of it. Room service took care of those hunger pangs later after a few more beers in the hotel bar. Online reviews for this place seemed hit and miss but I really enjoyed my time there and really enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the vibe of the place. We did contemplate buying some bar signs on our way out but declined as we don't know what we would exactly do with them. It sucks to see a small business close but they did say they may try to open up a new place in a new location in the future.
