Walked in here at 8pm, last Tuesday night 7/6/21.. Young guy at the cashier told us to be very careful as he was cleaning up spilled Ice Tea as we came it, he mentioned it several times as we got soda from the machine and he was sure to warn us not to slip again, such a nice response from the young guy. There was 3 of us and we each had a different burger, and i have to say, we have not shut up about them ever since. One of the best burgers we have had around the place, flavorsome and not greasy... fries were delish too.... thanks for a great burger experience... read more

Cute place and the burgers had so much potential! Fun combinations (I had one with a fried egg), but, in my opinion, they lacked flavor. Service was good and we so wanted the burgers to taste better, but they fell a little short. read more

Illegal Burger - Evergreen - Hot dog with grilled mushrooms & grilled onions with a cup of green chile. Yum! - Burgers Near Me - Evergreen, Colorado

Food is always amazing, but I felt I had to receive this instance because the specific cashier working there was extremely disrespectful. I had walked into the building and there was no line, yet the cashier was sitting by the bar scrolling on her phone for about 5 minutes before she decided to come and take our order. Then she proceeded to roll her eyes at us and be disrespectful and passive aggressive. After we had placed our order to go. We waited for about 45 minutes until the cashier came over and tossed our bags onto the table and walked away, after rolling our eyes. Defiantly shouldn't be working there if she is gonna be treating customers like this. read more

I recently visited Illegal Burger with a friend who lives in the area. They are a bit off of the beaten path, and it was somewhat difficult to find. Once I did find it, it had a nice fast food type decor, somewhat similar to a Chipotle. I ordered one of their specialty burgers on a pretzel bun. The meal was tasty, but nothing to write home about. With so many places like this popping up these days, the food, decor, service, etc, just seemed average. While I love to see new places open and I hope they get better and grow, this place just seems so-so. read more

Life changing At least changed my thinking on burger and fries. Wow I got truffle fries and avocado burger. Incredible read more

Went back and tried the "Swimming with the Fish" it was pretty good. I really liked the avocado and the lemon aioli. It was however incredibly messy to eat and ended up falling apart multiple times. Got the hand cut fries as a side and they were not very good and looked like frozen fries. Also ordered was the bacon cheeseburger which was too greasy to even eat and was thrown out. But the patty didn't look or smell like really great quality beef. Also ordered the "Three accomplices" The waffle fries like I stated before are over seasoned. The sweet potato fries were over cooked and thin. And for some reason I didn't get tater tots in mine or least not how I know tater tots. They were huge like Jalapeno Popper size and had cheese in them? I can't eat cheese so I threw them out. Overall I'm not really a fan they really need to work out some issues. read more

Very Clean and nice little spot! Food is really good and has affordable prices! Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Always a great burger, great customer service. Great veggie burger option- mostly do online orders with pick up always had an accurate order

First of all, this place has great burgers. Go here! The reason I'm only giving them 3 stars is because they have messed up my order every time I've come in. I can't say I order the most basic item on the menu, but the odd part is that they tend to just leave items off that were clearly listed on the menu (like the avocado, bacon or jalapeños that are the signature of the awesome Stokely burger). Come here for great burgers but always check your order after you receive it (especially if you order to go!). read more

I'm vegan and I got the black bean burger, added grilled mushrooms and grilled onions. It was so delicious!!! Very filling, good portion size as well. Everyone else I was with got the other burgers and loved them as well. Highly recommended for vegans! read more

Super nice staff and the burger and truffle fries were excellent! My husband got the chicken club and said it was phenomenal!

Our favorite family burger joint in Evergreen. Fast and tasty burgers with great sauces (and pretzel buns as option!) and super tasty thin fries....and unpretentious service. A nice beer selection and full bar, too. The house margarita is a great way to go. Always a sports game or two on one of the tv's, or enjoy an Evergreen sunset from the patio tables. Oh - don't forget to try their fresh spun milkshakes! And last but not least, they have a very good loyalty/rewards program. My kids love this place. read more

First time at this place and it did not disappoint! Ordered takeout during their last hour before closing. Honestly, best customer service I've had all year. We ordered off the record avocado burger on brioche, the black bean burger on whole wheat, and slammer fries. Everything was delicious! 10/10, would go back again!! read more

Not a bad taste but very greasy & overpriced. 3 burgers & 1 hot dog side of sweet potato fries 1 small choc milk & juice- $38.00 No thank you. read more

First time here and will definitely be going back. The truffle fries were the best fries I ever had. The cheeseburger was cooked very well and it definitely filled me up. I definitely recommend this place. read more

I wish I could make this a once a week stop. The owner was amazing, very helpful for those of us that are from out of state. He knows his stuff, burgers for every person with the best fries in the burger game! The bacon was cooked perfect, and bun toasted perfectly. Wish we had one of these in Fort Worth, TX. If I ever happen to pass through I'll eat here for sure! read more

My son could eat here once a week...Their Mushroom Swiss and 2 large Truffle Fries. He loves this place.

I had the chicken club sandwich customized a bit and they got it all right. I got it to go so I could sit and watch the bison at the overlook. It was delicious. Only reason not 5 stars is I wish the bacon was crispy and the fries crispier. Nevertheless, I will be getting this weekly. read more

This is probably our new favorite burger spot. We both got burgers - one bbq bacon and one jalapeño cream cheese (spicy!) - they were both really really good. We tried a bunch of sauces (which we were happy to find out that they're all homemade) and they were equally as tasty (especially the ranch on the sweet potato fries). Will definitely visit again. read more

After recently moving close to Evergreen my fiance and I have been checking out more of the local eats. We were looking for a good spot for a late lunch and this showed up on Yelp. We decided to give it a try (read some of the reviews, but decided to give the place the benefit of the doubt). I'm glad we did! After some discussion, we decided to get two burgers and spilt them. We got an "Off the Record Avocado" and an "Illegal Cream Cheese" burger. The jalapenos were too spicy for me, but the fiance loved it. (I would have to get no jalapenos if I got that the next time).We split some regular cut french fries and those were perfectly crispy. As far as the customer service complaints go, we had no issues. The guy taking our order even overheard us talking saying how we were going to split them, and had them cut in half already for us when he brought them out to the patio for us. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Great burgers and great service. Little pricey but it's quality. Lots of choices for toppings and they have some really good menu options. Get some margaritas while you wait. Staff was really nice. read more

A very bad example of a "fast casual" burger place. Been in a couple times now since evergreen doesn't have much for hamburgers. Both times at dinner it's been dead empty. Both times the food has been rather cold even tho it should be cooled fresh. And extremely greasy. The McDonalds is honestly better. read more

Illegal Burger - Evergreen - Not great. - Burgers Near Me - Evergreen, Colorado

After a friend and I spent the day wandering around Black Hawk and Central City, we each decided it would be swell to go out for cheeseburgers on the way back home. We absolutely didn't want fast food, so after a brief discussion, we remembered there was this burger place that we would otherwise drive past in Evergreen. Neither of us had ever before been here, but we decided to give it a shot. Our first impressions were less than favorable: The outside lights with the restaurant's name were off, nor could we see anyone inside. (Not a good sign for a Saturday night.) We almost walked away thinking they closed, but decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad we did. With no other customers, we didn't have to wait to give our order and were promptly served. These were easily the best burgers we've had in quite some time. I ordered the Off the Record Avocado, which was not only delicious but more food than I could eat, even though I was famished. My friend ordered their Undercover Cheeseburger and absolutely loved it, along with a side of waffle fries. I'm not someone who usually eats fries and thought the fries were just meh, though my friend mostly enjoyed them. I'd say it was the biggest disappointment in the meal. Overall, we truly loved our burgers, thought the place was clean, and the staff was efficient. As most of the burgers were in the $7-$10 range, we ended up spending only a little more than we would have spent at a Wendy's, for a MUCH better meal. We're likely to be back the next time we're passing through Evergreen. read more

Excellent burgers, fries, and shakes. Great margaritas, although frozen would be a nice addition. Great service, tasty food, good prices, lots of menu options and good specials! This is our new go-to burger place. Highly recommended. read more

These burgers are absolutely AMAZING!! The illegal cream cheese burger on a pretzel bun was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting in Denver and wants some gourmet burgers! read more

Terrible service, rude staff, filthy tables. I had to search for for a clean table to eventually clean off my own. The cashier answered my questions short, incorrectly and was rude. I don't think that I'll visit if I see her behind the counter again. I made my own burger and had the illegal (just the regular fries) and the food was pretty good. I don't know if it was worth the price, but it was pretty good. I'd probably give another location a try or if the person that was working wasn't there. And it was freezing inside. Granted it was 50 outside, but it was about the same inside. Food= good Staff= fail read more

I'd like to give these guys five stars. Here's why I'd like to: got a black bean burger, and it was delicious! The fries were petty good and food came out quickly too! Now here's why I won't give them 5 stars: the black bean burger said vegan next to it. Upon ordering, the girl asked what kind of bread I wanted, so I said, "whatever it comes with (since it says vegan)." She said it doesn't come with any assigned bread so I asked what breads were vegan. She didn't know, and didn't think they had any that was. I told her to ask a manager but no one there knew.. So I just picked one. I also got a salad and asked for vinaigrette and it came out with ranch (dairy). She was sorry, she didn't know they didn't have vinaigrette when I paid for the salad... She eventually brought me out white vinegar (20 min into my meal and after I ate my salad). They need to get a new staff, or implement a training program there and I would try it again. As for now, it's probably good to try, but don't expect a fully competent staff. For me, if you can't get competence at a restaurant you can't expect competence with their food (and food safety). It does have a full bar and is nicely designed inside. It certainly has potential and one day I'll give them another chance and reevaluate where necessary. read more

We have been to Illegal Burger several times and have had a great experience each time. Fish burger was perfect. Fresh and good quality products. The BBQ chicken was tasty. The #7 burger with mushrooms and cheese was the best burger in town. Waffle fries, sweet potato fries...yummy. If you are heading out to Denver, just need a quick lunch this is as good as it gets. Better than even Smash Burger. OH Yeah... now for the secret. Order your burger, and slip over to the El Senior Sol and have a drink with your burger. Evergreen has suffered through so many over priced stuffy eateries, or nasty bars. Finally a good option for a good tasting simple burger without eating at McDonalds or Burger King. Eat here and support a new business and a small business owner trying to do the right thing. read more

Such Friendly service! I love the enthusiasm of the people that work there. We will be back!

The 1 star is simply because they offer a "vegan" black bean burger yet they cook it on the same grill as the meat. A black bean burger soaking in carcass juice isn't vegan. Just sayin'. read more

Tasty yet average food. A bit overpriced for me. $3 for fries on top of an $8 burger. read more

LOVE this place !!! great food, the people are always so nice & have good energy. AND they had a pride shake for pride month ‍ 10/10

Excellent Burger!! I got the mushroom swiss burger and it did not disappoint! The meat was tasty, quality beef. The bun, Oh the BUN, succulent, fresh, and a perfect match for my carnivorous appetite. The atmosphere was great, chill, and a good low budget date joint. The guy that took my order was very friendly and helpful. Please don't waste your time getting a burger anywhere else, you will not be disappointed. My only regret was not ordering another burger! read more

First time in there, we had a group of 3 and we got 3 different burgers. All of us were impressed and we shared some illegal fries and sweet potato fries which were both awesome. I'll definitely have to remember this place and come back read more

I'd stayed away from Illegal Burger for a few months after moving to the area due to the negative reviews, but I finally stopped in and now I've been 4 times in the last 3 weeks... Most of the complaints I've read sound unfounded or unreasonable. Their prices are on the high end, but not at all unusual these days, anyone with that complaint is out of touch and should visit some of the burger spots in downtown Denver. The service has been solid during each visit, sometimes a little slow but still friendly and apologetic if need be, nothing unusual. There are a lot of great options on their menu and some excellent sides and dipping sauces that you wont find everywhere. I've tried multiple things and always been impressed. Don't let the negative rating stop you from trying this place out! read more

This place is a three-star establishment. The decor is cute - it's sort of convict/outlaw themed. The outdoor area is nice (especially since we stopped here on a road trip with a dog). But the burgers are just "eh". I had the veggie burger with the mushroom option (grilled mushrooms, caramelized onions, swiss cheese, and house sauce). Someone with me ordered the mushroom swiss with a beef patty. We were both pretty unimpressed. Even with the pretzel bun, our burgers were just okay. The sweet potato fries are pretty good. They come with a sweet honey/cream cheese sauce. However, the fries weren't enough to make up for the lackluster burgers. So, overall. It's okay. Certainly not bad. But I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Drove up on a Sunday to hang out. This place was great! I had The Boss burger and my son had the bacon bbq burger. Bonus points for 'Sunday Funday!" I had 2 margaritas at $2 each! Worth far more btw! The manager was very personable and hands-on. He explained about their recent change in doggy policy, due to poor timing and luck. However, they are taking steps to make changes to allow pups inside the patio again! Totally worth the drive from Castle Rock. Can't wait to come back and hang out! read more

My thoughts in your head and raving about the little burger for a while. I decided I thought it was about time I check this out for myself. I loved the process of picking out your partner on a little paper slip with you then handed to the cashier to fairly quickly filled it with your custom designed burger. I don't do it on the redmeat so I enjoyed our yummy chicken sandwich but I did have a bite of my sons burger and it was definitely juicy read more

Dirty. Food was ok. Employee kept taking off his mask. Out of soap in bathroom. Yuck.
