    Had a great time at Cantigny, wanted a good place to have a fun meal(s). Son's girlfriend recommended The Burger Social! Arrived without a reservation, but they were quite accommodating for party of 7! Had a sports Bar feel with an upscale vibe. We were asked if we would be fine sitting upstairs & outside with a roof. Was a great spot. Preferred having filtered Water, instead of alcohol although one of us ordered a spin on the Moscow Mule. Appetizers consisted of: Wings, Cauliflower Tots, Onion Rings. Main dishes were: Social burger, Wagyu Burger, Smash Burger (2), Yoga Flame, Naan Burger, Wild Mushroom Burger. Btw, our Server was Ghia, who was outstanding and amusing. When in the Wheaton area highly recommend this fine spot. Cheers & Mangia!

    Great food and awesome atmosphere! The service was a little slow, and my burger came out wrong. It was supposed to have bacon, but they put brisket on it instead. Luckily, I like brisket and it ended up being delicious, so it wasn't a big deal. The mac and cheese, which you can customize with toppings, was probably the best I've ever had at a restaurant. We added chicken tenders, jalapeños, and bacon. The tenders were juicy and full of flavor. We sat outside, and I loved the vibe. I've never really eaten in downtown Wheaton before, and the open outdoor dining area was such a nice surprise. Plenty of seating and a great space. I definitely want to come back!

    We really liked this place! My mom has been here a few times and recommended it for us for lunch today. 4 adults, 2 toddlers. Waitress was fantastic! Ended up ordering like 3 cheese curd apps because the peach sauce it came with was ridiculously delicious. Hubs had a draft pale ale Art History, and shared a lamb burger with Opa; I shared a peppermint milkshake and wagu burger; my mom got the Texas burger and kids each got grilled cheese with side of Mac. For all of us was about $130 total before tip. Only food note was the fries were way too seasoned; everything else was top notch. Extra points for being truly family friendly with a changing table in the men's room. Will be back!

    Fried Pickles

    I came here to eat on a Thursday with a friend, and we did not need a reservation and were seated within a few minutes. We started off with the fried pickles which were 10/10! We shared the wagyu smash burger and the barbacoa grilled cheese with truffle fries and onion rings. The burger was juicy and I liked the pretzel bun! The egg white was slightly raw on half the burger which wasn't ideal. The barbacoa grilled cheese was good as a sandwich, but it didn't really satisfy as a grilled cheese. Definitely a generous portion of meat! All of the sides were really good and everything came out quickly. Their specialty burgers are all super intriguing and I would definitely come back to try more!

    We don't come to downtown Wheaton often but I wanted to try the burgers here. We came on a Wednesday night, we sat at the bar upstairs since they didn't have any tables open. It was a little weird since we saw open tables upstairs for the whole time we were there. That's okay because the bartenders were great and attentive. The burgers do take some time, so if you're starving you'll need an appetizer. We ordered the naan burger with truffle fries and the shrimp burger with macaroni and cheese. Prices were fair for the portions received. -naan burger with truffle fries 4.5 - lamb was cooked well. It practically melted in my mouth, great texture. Truffle fries had a strong truffle flavor which is what I wanted. Fries were crispy not soggy. -shrimp burger with macaroni and cheese 3.5 - I wished there was more shrimp taste, it was okay. Not something I would order again. The macaroni and cheese however made up for the lack of disappointment. It was cheesy and the noodles were soft.

    The service here was really great and they were helpful in giving recommendations! The food was all delicious, this was my first time here but I would definitely recommend it for a great burger

    The Burger Social is an awesome burger joint in downtown Wheaton! My friend and I met up for dinner and because of the nice weather, we sat outside under the large tented common space that all the restaurants use. I ordered the Chili Relleno Burger and my friend ordered the Barbacoa Burger. Overall the Chili Relleno Burger was good, except the chorizo tasted more like seasoned taco meat. Other than that, it was a good burger. I had a taste of the Barbacoa Burger and that was super flavorful and delicious. And the fries had a good crunch to them. If you're in Wheaton and looking for a good burger, then swing on down to The Burger Social!

    Delicious giant onion rings but burger slightly burnt.

    Love love love, one star knocked off for my aunts burger being over cooked. ... she loved the onion rings though! My drink of the month was some deliciously good whisky old fashioned that had cognac in it. .. this was a beautiful day in Illinois and we were able to sit by the open window/door despite only being a party of two. I ordered a pear salmon salad which did not disappoint.

    Two hazy IPAs and a burger/fries combo

    My friends and I were out in the burbs for a cancer walk nearby and afterwards were looking to grab a bite and beer. Found this place on Yelp and came by. We were here on a Saturday and the entire front street was blocked off with canopy tents and seating so it appears they were having a festival of some sort. The Burger Social was fairly busy when we arrived and continued to get busier as time went out. They have TVs for sports fans, however we didn't partake in that and we were also sat in a high top 4 seater by the window which was perfect anyways. Our server was VERY friendly and fairly prompt our entire time. Getting the check paid was the only time it took a while. We all got some hazy IPAs (which are my favorite in general) and I really enjoyed the Noon Whistle Frozen FX. Highly recommend! My friends both got other hazy IPAs and we all were meh about it. While I didn't eat any of the burger, I had some of my friend's fries and they were pretty good! Overall - would recommend!

    Onion Rings
    Candace H.

    decided to try this place out after some wine tasting. The ambience was nice seem clean. Um, they had an upstairs and a downstairs we were seated upstairs. For appetizers, we order the onion rings. I did not like the onion rings. I felt that it was overly battered if you like crispy batter with not a lot of onion then this is for you, but I really like to taste my onion when I'm eating onion rings. for entrée I ordered the Italian burger with a side salad. now that side salad was definitely a side, a teeny on the small side, but was still enough to satisfy me for the meal. The Italian burger was great. The Italian patty was cooked well and the toppings made it feel like it was an Italian beef, but in a burger form. our waitress was nice friendly definitely gave us suggestions on which burgers to try. I think I would definitely try this place out again because of the plethora of burger options that they had available.

    Naan burger

    This place is serious about their burgers. Who would have guessed the restaurant name would actually tell you everything you need to know? Located in downtown Wheaton, there is plenty of seating on the main floor and second floor. Catch a game at the bar or grab a table and prepare to feast on some enormous burgers! Lots of apps to choose from, but my party went with the cauliflower tots and truffle fries. Both were great, and thank goodness the truffle fries were not smothered in truffle oil. Just enough and a good sprinkling of parmesan. Not too salty either. There's always a burger of the month (apparently a taco and shake too!), which makes it fun to come back. You better have a hearty appetite coming here, because The Burger Social doesn't mess around. There's a good variety of burgers in terms of meats, the type of bread used, and all the fixings in between. So nice to see everything from lamb, beef, barbacoa, bison, mushroom, and chicken gyro. What a variety! Bring your appetite and your best foot forward. You will be challenged at The Burger Social, but how rewarding it is!

    What type of outdoor seating is available?

    They have a couple or few tables on the sidewalk by the street, one whole wall opens up like a garage door so lots of air circulation in the building proper and then a roof top type of situation with cloth(?) sides. I felt very comfortable there and… Read more

    Can you order burgers with lettuce, instead of buns?

    What time is the Happy Hour?

    Burger Antics is one of the most fun and delicious burger spots in the area. They're always coming…read moreup with creative, flavorful combinations, one of my favorites had a ramp chimichurri that was so good I actually asked for a to-go container to take some home. The burgers themselves are top-notch, great blend, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The drinks are also excellent, with a solid variety to pair with whatever you order. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which just adds to the experience. It's a place that clearly puts thought and creativity into everything they do, and it shows.

    Disclaimers: - No…read morethe inside isn't the biggest. I was a bit hesitant about that before going as well. - Yes it's really only a burger joint. They have different appetizers and things but not a super extensive menu Do not let these things deter you tho. They're just facts. This place was pretty delicious. Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice
