As soon as I gave my order I knew the food was going to be excellent. The politeness, hospitality, and attention to detail really make this place stick out. I ordered a double cheeseburger combo. I dined in the restaurant. All I have to say is......AMAZING! This was one of if not the BEST Burger I've ever had in my life. This place is truly an example of what a "Burger joint" should be. Think of it, fresh ingredients and everything made to order right in front of you. I'm going back next week, and I'm telling all my friends about this hidden gem! Outstanding experience! SB

If you name your establishment Retro Burger, you probably need to make sure you're dealing out some…read moretasty burgers. Good news because the owner of this place did his due diligence. This carryout-only shop on Cicero Ave in Crestwood has been open for a number of years, and yet I've never managed to stop in?!? What's really strange is that I happen to be a guy who LOVES a good burger.. like, it's one of my favorite foods. Anyway, I stopped in on my way home from work recently, and it was well worth the trip. I'm guessing the owner helped me during my visit, as he was the only one working. As mentioned, Retro Burger is a small, but very clean space with an extremely limited menu. That speaks to me. Pick a handful of things you're going to serve folks and then skillfully execute them. My burger choices were either "Hamburger" or "Cheeseburger". Now both of these options feature a 1/2 pound of beef, and we're not talking about pre-made, pre-formed or frozen burger patties. This gentleman opened the cooler, took out a tube of fresh ground beef, cut off a 1/2 pound, slapped it on the flat top and gave it a press. I knew this was gonna be special. The brioche bun is steamed prior to a quick trip to the griddle. The grilled onions were dropped in the deep fryer for a minute and then plopped on the griddle next to the burger patty. The bacon came next and it was crispy. Gave the burger a nice crunch without being overwhelming. The lettuce and tomatoes are fresh... you're probably picking up the vibe by now. This cheeseburger was no joke. Very tasty, and made with care. The rest of the menu consists of a hot dog, a polish sausage and maybe one other thing, but the reason to stop in to Retro Burger is for the burgers! The cheese fries were fine, but nothing to write home about. The price point is higher because the quality is there and you can taste it. There are 3 or 4 other places within 5 miles of this place if you're looking for a $5 Big Baby Double Cheeseburger, but I would strongly encourage you to spend a few extra dollars and get yourself a serious sandwich. I'll be back.

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.

My shrimp were overcooked and soggy (no ventilation in the styrofoam) and not much flavor. No seasoning at all on the fries, it was a pretty tasteless meal. My friend said the burger was ok but buns also a little soggy and not super flavorful meat. They make sweet and spicy pickles and those were added but only 2 slices for $1 upcharge seem unreasonable they were the best thing tho. We probably won't try it again.

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.

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.

There is nothing special about the burger and it's small. The fries were fine, but nothing particularly special about them either.

I would choose Portillo's over this spot any day.

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!
