I ordered online and it was ready by the time I got there! Now when I had the food, it wasn't what I expected. I was told that this small owned business "smacked" but it was just average. The patty has a nice crispy to it like how a smash burger should but but it didn't have flavor? Like the sauce gave it flavor, not the meat itself. The bun was not smooshed (like how the other pictures show). The fries are good! Even if when soggy haha. Personally I don't think the price was worth the meal. I like the fact that this place is known for being halal. The place itself was DEAD yet it was lunch. It was ungodly warm inside. No AC. Personally, I'll swing by when I'm in the area again, but I do prefer other halal smash burgers in the area more unfortunately. read more

Just wanted to update my review. We were refunded our money, and given a credit to enjoy a free meal upon our return.

Drove by a couple of times .. saw a review on FB. All the pictures looked amazing. 20 wait After a couple of bites .. I couldn't believe it was the same thing that was in the picture. Lies .. propaganda.. slaw burger? More like a sadness burger. The hot dogs? Served cold on a stale bun. Mmmm .. all at a hefty price. I'm not one to write a review but, I have to warn the world ... Disappointed.. read more

Slaw Burger Palatine - Slaw burger - 2 bites - Burgers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

We ordered 2 dogs. It took 15 minutes and the hot dogs were old the buns were served hard and stale. They went to get fresh ones and we waited 10 more minutes and left obviously they had frozen maybe and hot dogs were like at a gas station roller. Did not want to take a chance they were wrinkled and greasy. They got one star because the fries were fresh. NO thank you! I wouldn't go back!!! read more

Just ok, lacking in flavor, basic. Imo, just trying be better than fast food, food. But that's all it is, with higher prices. Counter gentleman was great, I didn't know if I wanted the burger or the hot chicken. He recommended the #3 to try both. Good idea I thought, ordered and I was up charged for the hotter chicken at my request. I did mention it may be too much food for me but he said they aren't too big (might want to find a way to better reword this). Got it to go, was home in 5 min and opened it up. Overall not impressed for $20+ out the door, no drink. Opened it up, in a foam container, (ditch the foam containers aready). Looked fresh but he was right, they were not big. Both the burger and chicken sandwich were fresh and warm, fries looked crispy with some seasoning on them. The burger: just ok, the beef didn't have flavor, I did like the cheese and onions. But it was pretty small and just tasted bland. Really just ok. Not worth the 7.99 ala carte menu price for sure. A Dave's single has more flavor and that's not saying much. Also no smash burger edges on the beef, a must if you want to elevate this type of burger. The chicken sandwich: again kind of small and the piece of chicken was pretty thin and no breading or spice on the chicken visually, just an orangish mayo sauce and Cole slaw. Absolutely zero spice or heat anywhere in this sandwich, I literally paid extra for that specifically. Coleslaw was just like what you get in bulk at GFS or jewel. And this also was very lacking in any flavor. Mayo sauce was like canes, but again completely lacking in flavor or spice or heat. Fries: looked good, portion size was ok at best. Standard crinkle cut with some seasoning over them. These too were just ok, another minute in the fryer would have helped, I would say, not crispy enough and plain. Seasoning helped a little, but imo needed more to have an impact. Conclusion: Will I come back, not likely. Service was great and quick, place was clean. But I go out to eat for the food. I wanted to love it, but it was nowhere worth the cost. It was just ok, that's the ongoing theme here. If you do go, don't waste your time on the chicken sandwich. And you would have to get a double for the burger. But would this make it better? I'm not sure. If you like bland food, this may be just for you. Other people mention the slaw on the burger, mine didn't have any but the chicken did. Not sure if it was supposed to or not.. I just wish the good service matched the food quality and taste, it didn't even come close. The burgers and chicken sandwiches at Wendy's and Culver's are better and have much better quality meat and flavors (what's that saying?) Big swing and a miss for Palatine Slaw burger for me. read more

Went there this afternoon and the location is not that impressive but the service and food definitely make up for it!! My son just wanted ketchup instead of the "slaw" sauce and they had no issues substituting!! Fries could have been a bit crispier but the seasoning was really good!! read more

This place is amazing!!! So Good best smash burger in the state!!! So glad it opened up in palatine such a secret small shop providing great burgers at a great price ! Will be my new burger spot !! read more

Terrible. Dry, hockey puck of a burger. Order was ignored- requested no onions or sauce, with slaw on the side- received onions and sauce, no slaw. The fry portion is small. Canned soda. Entire place reeked of cleaning solution . Zero service- order on a screen, then when the order is ready, they just leave it on the counter. No one was working in the front of house- very odd. Only two tables indoors for dining. We will not return and do not recommend Slaw Burger. read more

Burgers never disappoint, grilled onions and sauce are amazing. Fries are always well seasoned. The banana pudding is delicious.

I was eager to try this new place. Upon entering with my spouse we found there was only one table available in the whole place. The space was spacious enough for a few tables. The staff was engrossed in watching TV and didn't greet us. The sole table for four was occupied, so we had no choice but to leave. Who only has only one table ? Since I didn't want to eat in the car, I can't comment on the food because I walked out. read more

Solid smash burgers & a super friendly staff! Check them out! We did the number 4 so you can try 2 sandwiches, fries and a tender! read more

Few tables inside and one outside. We sat and ate with our two kids and enjoyed ourselves. Very family friendly! We will definitely be back! read more

Food was delicious! We tried the Slawzilla and the SlawFather and they were so good! Small little place on Rand Road but definitely a place to check out! read more

Great, simple smash burger. I like that the fries were seasoned but not overly so. There's not a lot of seating here so better to get it to go if you're coming for dinner. read more

First time here...we had the double burgers and split onion rings. Burgers were delicious! Pleasantly surprised as I was bummed when Reps closed. But now I can get my smashburger fix here. Onion rings were nice and fresh and big. Sauce was just ok. I believe Evan was our server. He was very friendly and we got our food freshly made. Will be back! read more

This place was delicious. The smashburger was everything you want a smashburger to be. Great patty and sauce. The loaded fries were delicious, too. The only thing that could make the fries better is if they were made in house. Overall, a great stop. read more

I arrived to a locked door 10+ minutes prior to closing. Burger was good but swimming in sauce making it fall apart. Employee was locking doors and photographing space prior to me buckling up and leaving small parking lot. read more

I've been here twice and the first time was for my birthday since I'm a simple man especially Monday-Friday. They ended up giving me a free thing of cheese fries for that since there were two really nice guys working there who talked me into trying the best. I'm not a big coleslaw OR butter pickle guy, and I will say right now that the burgers and fries were amazing. I ended up getting a double for home . My sister doesn't like coleslaw at all yet when we got one for her on our next visit, she even loved it. I get the place can be kind of cramped but we were lucky to get seats before the rush and don't mind if others are enjoying their food near us, it doesn't take much to go home either. Canned drinks can be expensive but there's a Culver's right near it with burgers not nearly as good but bigger drinks so get those on the ride home or before you get there and you'll be fine . read more

Best burgers in the area. Lucky burger and Rep's are good, but I think this has them beat. Glad they have an excellent Beyond Burger option

Ordered the double smash burger and it was gross. The patties were not at all smash patties. They were more similar to Wendy's patties. The burger was drenched in sauce which was incredibly overpowering. The sauce would best be described as a spicy mayo with some sweetness.. The bun was similar to a Kings Hawaiian bun and was nice and soft, but didn't hold up to all of the sauce on the burger. I hate to say negative things about a small business but there are much better alternatives locally for a good smash burger. read more

The chicken sandwiches and burgers at this place are amazing especially for the price. Not much seating, but the vibe is still cute and the service is fantastic. They're super friendly and great for take out read more

The Smashburger was phenomenal Fresh Burger delicious sauce messy but good. Only criticism is there's no tables inside and one table outside. We did it as take out and it was phenomenal! read more

Food was good but expensive, ambiance was fine with out door seating only, staff was polite & helpful. Combo meals required you to pay EXTRA for a beverage. Expect to pay between $15.00 to $20.00 for a small burger, 12 French fries & generic can of soda. read more

Food was delicious, service was friendly. The place looks esthetically pleasing just a bit quiet, the TV was on but I don't remember being able to hear it. Some music would have been nice to cut out the awkward silence. The burgers were really good my husband and I only wished it was bigger. They're not slider sized but they're value meal sized for the price point. The burgers had good flavor and an unforgettable sauce. We also ordered their cheese fries. The portion is kind of small. The cheese sauce wasn't bad either. We had a chicken tender it was spicy, juicy. The wait wasn't long. read more

In a word, NO! Terrible service, unkempt staff, and what was hidden behind the. Punter is syrups and canned drinks. The food was terrible. Flat, stiff, no taste, no freshness and adding slaw to the burger for $1.25 I expected a mound of fresh slaw but got less than a teaspoon! This place will not survive. Go to Burger King or McDonald's before going here. One star is too generous. Again, NO! read more

I tried it for the first time and made a pretty big order. It definitely paid off and I will be ordering more from slaw burger. The food here is great! read more

Tried this place because of the good reviews here but..Yuck. Wendy's/McDonald's type gritty dog food tasing patties smothered in cheez-wiz style product, a couple of sickly sweet pickles served on a squishy and sickeningly sweet donut bun .... and then seemingly... microwaved to oblivion. Be careful because the dang thing is microwave-hot! Not cheap, not good, not a Smashburger to be found, and strangely positive reviews...hmmm. read more

great burgers made to order, tasty sauce, great fries served hot, the best. Order at a kiosk, food brought out to table

Very good burgers and service. The name is deceiving but after an explanation the cause they are supporting is great.

Definitely recommend! Great place for a delicious burger. Homemade pickles over the top!

First time here, the staff was super welcoming and kind. They have a couple tables set up inside but not too much space to sit. Food came out pretty quick. The burger was delicious! It had really great flavor. Same thing with the fries, they come seasoned and the seasoning really goes well on them. Onion rings were super crispy and the watermelon lemonade was a great way to wrap the meal up! Overall extremely satisfied with the food and will definitely be back. read more

Really good burgers, and not too expensive. Fries are seasoned well. Will be coming back soon!

Great food, customer service was good as well. Food came out in a timely manor as well.

Sole Hittin' Burgers! Truly a hidden gem right off Rand and Dundee in Palatine. Got the chicken sandwich and double smash burger with their signature craft lemonade. 10/10 for all! Employees were really patient while taking my order, nice guys. Definitely a place that's on my list as a go to now, will be back soon. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience. I ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken was so hard I literally couldn't eat it.

amazing spot clean, good service and good food. Furquaan was extremely polite and helpful!

The fries are worth the trip--seasoned, crispy, yet pillowy. The pizza puff was great. The burgers give a slaw taste without the mess. I didn't try the lemonade but they have 10 kinds. read more

It was a decent price. their special slaw sauce was really good especially on their chicken sandwich's. Their costumer service was outstanding. Its a small place with minimal seating but it was still clean and well taken care of. read more
