I had a pretty decent first experience here. I'm not sure I would order the same thing but it definitely wasn't bad. I ordered the student burger and it hit the spot, but the bread-to-patty ratio was quite off. Lots of bread, so I'd definitely get a double patty if I chose this again. I did like the sauce and toppings on this burger though and the bun was fresh. The fries were super fresh and delicious, might have been my favorite part of the meal. It took about 15 minutes for me to get my food, which I can appreciate it being fresh but I was the only one in the drive thru line. Not necessarily a huge complaint, but just something to keep in mind if you're stopping by in a hurry. I love that they're open late, as this is a great alternative to other fast food stops after a night of drinking or general tomfoolery. The menu also has a lot more variety than your typical late-night spot, so there are a few things I still want to try. I'm looking forward to trying a cheesesteak and exploring more of their offerings. read more

We heard about this place from another foodie, and we were in the area, so we checked it out. The staff is very nice. We asked what they recommended, and they did not disappoint. We were taking the food to go (an hour ride home). We ordered one 2 Philly Steak Sandwiches (one with extra cheese) and two medium Student Fries as well as a Teacher Burger. The facility is nice and it is clean. The decor on the wall is nice. It's not too much or overwhelming. They have tables with chairs as well as high tables with chairs and booths for dining in. They also offer patio seating for the warmer months. There is a full menu as well as specials. I enjoyed a Philly Steak Sandwich with Student Fries. It's large, and I saved half for the next day. I did not try the Teacher Burger, but boy did it look delicious, and I was told it was! I'm kind of bummed as I asked for the special sauce that I saw in one of the photos on another Yelp review and was assured I'd get some, and sadly, I did not. read more

Stopped by Student Burger on Army Trail Rd and overall had a decent experience. I ordered the Teacher Burger and some Student Fries -- everything was made fresh, cooked well, and served in a reasonable amount of time. The burger had good flavor and felt satisfying, though there wasn't much of a wow factor. The onion ring inside wasn't as crispy as I'd hoped, but the sauces were on point -- savory with a nice balance. The fries were a highlight -- crispy, flavorful, and a really generous portion for the price. Definitely great value. The ambiance inside is chill, with TVs and plenty of space to sit, whether you're with friends or just hanging out solo. Customer service was polite, but not super attentive. We had to ask if our food was ready since no one called us over or gave a heads-up -- something small but noticeable. All in all, it's a solid spot. Nothing over the top, but good for a casual meal if you're in the area. I would come back but not necessarily go out of the way to visit. read more

Price. change your look should not have taken a white castle building. Menu sucks. Literally walked in and walked out.

You cannot miss the huge "HALAL sign" in the front. It's a fast food restaurant close to College of Dupage Addison location. The service is really slow though, I walked in and there were two Indian guys working and when I placed the order he said "give us 10 mins". The longest 10 mins ever.., I don't know if they needed help or they were new! I got the lunch special: chicken sandwich meal $10 The chicken sandwich was nothing special and neither was the sauce in it. The fries were crispy and good but I dont care to come back. read more

One of my friends in the area said this place had decent burgers and I was let down a bit by the quality. It wasn't that much better than other halal places in the area. Quality- the bully burger had way too much spicy sauce and grease. I couldn't taste much of the meat or cheese at all. It fell apart when I picked it up and the spicy sauce overpowered everything. The fries were ok but tasted a bit cheap. It isn't much better than Wendy's fries. Quantity- you get less than I thought for a 12 dollar burger and I expected more fries. Atmosphere- it's a retired White Castle. Nothing special. Service- it came out pretty fast. read more

fast service, good quality food, and not expensive. The ambiance is MUCH better inside than out. I would highly recommend it for a quick bite. It's nothing gourmet, but for a halal burger, tender, or Philly cheese, this is a great spot. Overall 9/10. Each photo has a review of the item. read more

Student burger is located on the corner of swift road and army trail road. It is advertised as fresh food, not fast food. The food was very fresh and the portion sizes are extremely generous, enough for 2 meals each! The Philly cheese steak sandwich is absolutely amazing, and the chicken sandwich was very fresh and juicy. The signature student burger sauce is delicious, there maybe have been a bit too much on the chicken sandwich which made it very wet, but still delicious nonetheless. The workers were very friendly and made a point to talk to us while we waited for our food. This food does not feel greasy, it really is very fresh. read more

This place is the very definition of a 2 star restaurant. I'm not exactly sure what would make you choose this place over Culvers or A&W, both of which are a 5 minute drive from here. The price is about the same or higher than those options and the quality is better at Culvers and A&W. The only reason someone may choose this place is if Halal is one of your main driving factors in choosing a restaurant. read more

This place recently opened up on the corner of Swift Rd and Army Trail in the old white castle. We ordered two kids meal, one Philly cheese steak sandwich and a gyros wrap. We asked for medium hot. The food took 30 Minutes to come through so be aware of that. The portions are very generous! The sliders were perfect size for kids and the burgers were simply delicious. However, the gyros wrap and the Philly cheese steak had a little too much salt. It was still very tasty. Lastly, they forgot to give us the drinks for the kids meal so double check your bag before leaving. Bonus, they're halal too. read more

Student Burger is conveniently located next to a gas station. As I walked in, I was instantly transported to a 1980s White Castle with no updates. There was dramatic music playing in the background, which made me feel like a hero while munching my food. The menu consists of a few burgers and other fast food items like chicken wings and sandwiches. I didn't really see anything unique other than Indian dessert items. We ordered a crispy chicken sandwich, a bacon student burger, chicken tenders, and fries. We went at an off time (3:30 pm), but it still took 29 minutes for the food to come out. My wife found the chicken sandwich to be dry, and the bun was rather big, but the mayo inside tasted interesting. The bacon on the burger was flavorful, but the beef patty was kind of dry; the toppings were the basic lettuce and tomato. The chicken tenders were actually pretty good, as were the fries; both items were crispy and not too greasy. Side note, supposedly the burger patties are made onsite using ribeye meat. I'd have to say 3.5 stars overall, but students are perpetually learning and get better over time. read more

Ok.. the burger was good. A solid 7.5/10. The rice bowl ( I had steak), Was completely disgusting. The rice had the most Foul smell imaginable. Rice should never smell like that. I'm not entirely sure how this place has five stars in google reviews because it certainly doesn't meet up to standard. Like not even close. if you get the meal with any burger, it will cost you additional $2.95. It comes with the smallest fries you can ever imagine. The fries are good... but a meal comes out to be $14+ dollar.. not worth it in my opinion. You have a plethora of options at that price point. But seriously, stay away from the rice bowl. It is completely disgusting. Service is OK. Took me 15 minutes from the time I placed my order at 10:30 PM. Most likely won't be back unless I'm really desperate late night. read more

Fatness approved. So take your classic greasy spoon I'm chicago (Ala Duckys on the north side), make it halal, and add boba. The eclectic greasy spoon you expect from burgers to Phillies to gyros. Boba is the twist here. Enter Student burger. Remember back in the day when you'd get those crispy grizzly edged burgers. You know the thing smash burger is trying to replicate? For those locals old enough to remember, Schoops....freakn Schoops. This place has those feels with the burger. They are halal and the owners says freshly butchered and prepared meats every morning. I'll tell you it ain't frozen. Had the gyro burger. Thought was sure gyro meat slapped on top of burger meat......nope! They made a freak'n gyro beef patty! One regular beef patty and one gyro beef patty. Cool! Fries where good, nothing crazy here but whatever it's fries. They have cricket playing for the those who can appreciate world sports. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. This is one of those hole in the wall spots people look forward to finding. Burger prices are all double digit but so is a big mac and these burgers have more effort and flavor than a big man imo. read more

Stopped in on Jan. 6, 2023 at 3:59 pm. I wanted to go to White Castle, but they apparently bought the building and didn't change the appearance, so I didn't realize it wasn't a White Castle until I was approaching it from the street. The Hot Dawg "Student Dawg" took them...15 minutes to make? The fries were not enjoyable, and the hot dog didn't have any of the toppings promised on it. The drive-thru speaker and window was the mother and father of all Jerry Rigs. I couldn't hear them, and they couldn't understand me. Summation: The food prep was slow, they botched the order, and overall JANKY-ASS presentation in every direction. Fun fact: the guy who was working ("Kamran K") was very handsome and slick. Probably the best thing about the place. read more

Good food, interesting setup. Service was superb. It's nothing crazy, but it's good at what it is.

Delicious juicy meaty! These students are ready to graduate from Taste University. Zabih halal meat! Wish we had one in Chicago.

The student burger offers certified Halal food at reasonable/low price. I came across this place on my way to the expressway near 53 and Army Trail Road. When I arrive to the student burger, the drive-through option was temporarily closed. However, I was still able to talk to someone at the window. The person at the window is sweet and respectful and let me know that my food was going to take 10 to 15 minutes, which is very nice compared to many other restaurants and fast food places. Usually, you're waiting at the drive-through, unsure of how long it will take and becoming a little impatient. The food was delicious and you can taste the quality meat from the first bite. I highly recommend this place to everyone -- Muslims and non-Muslims. The food is delicious and hot. I ordered the Buffalo Philly cheesesteak and the order came with fries too. Every was really good! read more

My husband ordered a student burger. It took 10 minutes or more to get it. and they put way too much much special sauce on it along with sweet pickles. It was barely average to taste. We will not be back again after charging $15. read more

Definitely overrated. Wouldn't go again. Very greasy hamburgers. Fries not that crispy. Have a good seasoning both meat and fries. Thai tea tastes more like bland shake and less like strong Thai tea. Got bully burger: too spicy and greasy. Had to immediately go to the bathroom after eating a few bites from the grease and heat fest. Ugh. Son got Chicago dog. He said it was just ok. I think it's not worth the expensive price and too greasy to eat regularly. read more

I went right after they opened and got a gyro. It had a very weird, off taste. It clearly wasn't Kronos meat and I didn't like it. A few weeks later, I tried a hamburger. It was like a hockey puck. I swore I wouldn't go there again but today I got two hot dogs and they were awful. Not sure how you screw up a hot dog but they did. I'm not sure they know how to cook at this place. That's 3 tries. Won't be a fourth. read more

An old fast food joint converted into a burger spot. Needs work to maintain its cleanliness. Bathroom had a fly flying around. Service is self service at counter. On to food: -Bully burger was good but too much cumin -student double smash burger; sauces were not evenly spread thus affecting the taste. Bobas (mango and mocha) were watered down and tapioca were actually warm (not room temperature but warm). Fries and Oreo shake were excellent. I wouldn't try this spot again. read more

My first and last order from here, for $19.00, I received a dry single hamburger, a very small order of fries, and a can of soda. The soda can was a surprise as I had ordered a fountain drink, so there was no value for the price, as well as not what was ordered. read more

I did not get the concept, almost didn't go in, but was hungry and had meeting very close. Saw protein bowls, ordered, staff told me rice wasn't ready. It was noon and I was only person in the restaurant. I ordered a cheeseburger. One more customer came in and we both waited over fifteen minutes for our food. There was no music, oddly quiet. Old giant monitors had Kobes final Lakers game on, but it was frozen with no internet signal. Every once and awhile it would unfreeze for a fuzzy few seconds of footage and freeze again. Bathroom smelled bad and needed updates. Entire place was just odd. Too much sauce on burger, food just OK at best. read more
