    This looks like an old school burger stand, easy to miss when driving down Cicero. My mom was getting an infusion across the street so I was looking for lunch in the area. The burgers are amazing! Huge fresh made to order smash burgers with unlimited free toppings. I ate the whole burger and needed a nap afterwards but it was too good to save for later. I will say they are a little pricier than I expected. For a cheeseburger, fries, and Pepsi it was almost $15. In the future, I will only get the burger with unlimited toppings and skip the fries and drink, save myself $5.

    Nothing fancy, but sometimes you don't need fancy. Just good burgers, hotdogs & sausages at a good price. The fries were a bit salty, but I'm not a heavy salt person so probably good with everyone else. The staff was amazingly friendly, and the service was quick. Everything was fresh and hot. Great meals - sandwich & fries.

    Nice little joint with food made fresh to order. My wife had the burger and is well above the average fast food burger. I had the 2 Hot dog special made with fresh quality ingredients. The guy that runs this operation is super nice and checked on us to make sure we were satisfied with our food. Highly recommend!!

    I was happily surprised by Retro Burger. The name implies that it comes from the past, however their high quality ingredients and simple, clean aesthetic imply that they are well versed in executing the modern, fast-casual experience. The customer service experience was friendly and efficient. I ordered their burger and fries. They started making my burger as soon as it was ordered. I think my whole order took less than 3 minutes. Everything was super fresh. I loved the warm brioche bun and the fatty, salty patty. The fries were perfectly cooked, their flavor and texture reminded me of a non-crinkle version served by a popular Chicago chain whose name rhymes with "pillows". Everything about my experience was top notch, and I look forward to my next visit to experiment with toppings including avocado, feta, and fried egg.

    Food is very good and fresh. Just a tad pricey. Good place to eat at once in a while. A little too expensive to do it frequently.

    Back for round two--and this place still knocks it out of the park. Last time, I had the Spicy AF…read moreBurger and some wings, and they were seriously amazing. That burger had just the right amount of heat, full of flavor, and the wings were crispy and loaded with sauce. I was so close to just getting the same thing again. But I figured I'd mix it up this time and try something new--and I'm glad I did. The gyro was absolutely killer--super flavorful meat, fresh toppings, and that creamy tzatziki brought it all together. And the Italian beef? Easily one of the best I've had. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the giardiniera gave it the perfect little kick. Everything just tastes fresh and made with care. I'm already planning my next visit so I can keep trying more from the menu. Safe to say this place has earned a spot in the regular rotation.

    Stopped in after work about a week ago to try the Italian beef and polish. I'd heard great things…read morefrom the owner through various clips and videos about the quality. Sadly everything was false. The beef was one of the worst I've ever had...any mom and pop hood spot could match or beat it. The polish was long and skinny and unremarkable as well. I ordered butter garlic fries that tasted exactly like regular fries...which was also a first. I know they were not regular fries because those came with my polish and were even worse. This place is jokingly slow...they messed my order up as I should have had another Italian beef and the staff was pretty unprofessional as they got super heated over the cashier not helping the cooks...it was bad. This place is bad...almost anyplace else is better...hell McDonald's is better.

I ordered a jumbo hotdog with everything and no pickle; after waiting almost 15 minutes, I get to the window pick up and the girl tries to hand me a bag of food. I told her that I only orders a jumbo hot dog she grabs a bag a handed it to me. I drive off and halfway to work I check to see if my food is still warm and to my surprise, I had a piece of birthday cake and no hotdog :(. I have to turn around and drive back to this location and I go inside and speak to a very nice young man. I explain to him what happened and he have someone make my hotdog right away. Plus, he told me to keep the piece of cake. Whatever have to genuine good customer service. Is that too much to ask....I am spending my money. The return trip almost made me late for work :(.

The umami flavors are incredible; the pickles, the peppers, the tomatoes, and the diced onions create an explosion of taste that hits you from the very first bite. It was a unique experience. Even though I ordered my hot dog to go, the service from the young lady Amaya was excellent, and everything was extremely fast. I would definitely come back for this Portillo's Jumbo Hot Dog; so tasty, so flavorful. And the fries... perfectly crispy, fresh, golden on the outside and soft on the inside. The perfect pairing for this Chicago classic.

I think they mix a lot of ingredients so much that you can't taste the actual burger. A bit too much. It tastes like a burger you would make at home. Still good, don't get me wrong. The fries are good and the onion rings are top notch!!! I would actually go here for onion rings. I would like to go back to try other things on the menu.

    We were craving authentic diner food and tired of preformed burgers and seriously processed meats…read moreso we tried Top Notch Beef Burgers on the recommendation of a friend. She ordered a Corned Beef Sandwich on rye bread served cold, with jalapeño jack cheese on the side and mustard. The corned beef was flavorful and tender, and the cold preparation worked perfectly. Simple but satisfying, although they put the cheese on the sandwich. The ¼ lb Beef Burger Deluxe came with fries, raw onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickles--upon request no mayo--on a regular, non-toasted bun, as requested. The burger was juicy and cooked well, and the fresh toppings added a nice crunch. The fries were golden and crisp. This was a great classic combo. For drinks, we tried three large 24oz milkshakes--banana, Oreo, and vanilla. Each was thick, creamy, and rich in flavor. The banana stood out for me! Overall, it lived up to its name--Too Notch burgers--good quality food, generous portions, and great flavor across the board.

We tried this location. ***ROLLS EYES*** We walk in and nobody else is dining there, maybe they just opened. They greeted us, but don't offer menus. We grab menus at the island and sit. We ordered 2 bacon burgers, 1, fry, 2 waters:$45. Yikes! The lady starts bagging the food up we tell her we're eating here and she gets puffy and puffy saying that you have 2 be seated at the tables and be served etc etc. HOW THE HELL WERE WE TO KNOW THAT? DID YOU ASK WERE WE DINING IN OR TAKEOUT? DID YOU ENGAGE US TO LET US KNOW??? NO! So we still sat right there where the seats are at on the island and eat. I needed additional mustard she dryly hands me the squeeze bottle. I assumed she was pissed she wouldn't get a tip. NOT OUR FAULT. Other oatrons walk in and get pleasantries I noticed. Hmmmm.... So we clean up behind ourselves, to not inconvenience her further, LOL. When we go to dump the garbage she wanted us to use the rear garbage instead of what was closer in front. I ALMOST LOST IT ON HER! I walked out and left my guest. I WOULD NEVER RETURN! READING THE OTHER REVIEWS THIS CHICK HAS A NASTY ATTITUDE IN GENERAL AND I DONT SPEND MY MONEY IN PLACES LIKE THAT! OH, THE BURGER WAS FAT, NOT THIN.... AND NOT ALL THAT!!!!
