Nothing nostalgic about this hole in the wall. They have faded poster of the sandlot cast. That's it. Dirty floors, tables and windows. Stopped in per our son's recommendation. Burger joint with ok burgers, hand cut fries were good. Not busy for 6:30 pm. Thumbs down. read more

The Sandlot - The sandlot fresh ground burgers is out of business - Burgers Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

This place was recommended to us for their burgers and fries. In fairness, the burger wasn't bad. The problem is, the place is the dirtiest and most disgusting place I've ever eaten in. How it managed to get 4 stars is beyond me. I've traveled nearly the entire US, and been in many "dives". This one takes the cake as the most awful place I've been in. I wouldn't be back in here for any reason. There are plenty of places to get a good burger. read more

If you're looking for a no frills burger joint and just want a good ole burger with fresh cut fries, Sandlot is the place for you. Don't expect fancy dining and instagrammable views. Just expect good food, fast. Their menu is simple: burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, fries, pop, and milkshakes. The burgers come in either a single, double, or triple stack, with cheese. I got the cheeseburger and hubby got the two on two (double stack) and we were satisfied with the burgers. It was simple, juicy, grilled and good. The whole family loved the fries. Service was pretty fast, we got ours in less than 10 minutes. Dining tables are available inside to eat, and also a few tables outside in the parking lot if you prefer the outdoors. If you are familiar with the movie The Sandlot, they have their pictures all over the walls. Not sure if they are directly affiliated with the movie, but it definitely brings back that nostalgia. Overall, great burger joint and I would come back again! read more

Born and raised in Chicago--you already know I don't play when it comes to good food. I've driven past this spot for a while, and the name alone caught my attention--The Sandlot, like the classic The Sandlot. Finally stopped in, and it didn't disappoint. The burgers are on point, the fries are fresh-cut and legit, and the whole place just has that welcoming energy. The staff? Top-tier--friendly, attentive, and genuinely making sure you enjoy your experience. Definitely a spot I'll be pulling up to again. read more

Such a disappointing experience and expected more from such great reviews, but unfortunately, they gave me soggy burgers with cold fries. The older women working in the back was quite rude and snappy not to mention the interior was dirty with food in the corners as if they haven't cleaned in weeks, the parking lot was horrible loose nails all over the place I actually got a flat tire upon leaving I wouldn't recommend and I certainly won't be back. read more

I ordered whatever the sign said was a favorite. It was a double cheeseburger, fries, and sandlot sauce. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. It was pretty affordable too at $12.34. I would definitely pop back in if I was around here. The service was nice, fast, and friendly. The place is red and white with a couple sandlot pictures on the walls. Nothing too over the top. It's a burger place so the decor was fine for what it is. read more

The place is an ode to the classic movie The Sandlot. I order the TWO N TWO burger and a Chicago style hotdog from a really nice young lady that greeted me at the front counter. The food is made to order so it takes longer than most places which is fine, but that particular day, I was in a rush. It took almost 20 minutes to get my meal. No tap pay is an available so have your card or cash on you. Found out that a lady had a HUGE order that slowed the kitchen down. I received my food and wanted to sit outside, but all the outdoor table hasn't been wiped down in a while. Anyway, I started with the burger which was juicy and all the toppings were fresh. This is a me thing. The cheese really took over the burger and I couldn't really get flavor of the patties. The hot dogs had all the Chicago style toppings and looked delicious but the bun was steamed and was kind of chewy. The fresh cut fries just need more salt. The overall meal was good, not great. I would definitely get a double without cheese next time. read more

The Sandlot is amazing! I had it for lunch today for the first time. It looks like a small hole in the wall lunch joint, but don't pass it up when you see it. I only tried the burgers, but wow were they amazing! They're made fresh to order, the special sauce is also great - I like it on the side but you can get it on your burger as well. Friendly and quick service, and free refills on soft drinks. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Best burger in town for a very reasonable price. Staff is friendly, communicative, and the restaurant is family owned. Very casual atmosphere with a great menu. Highly recommended and worth your time & money. read more

It's a no frills place but the burgers are good and I love the fresh cut fries. The service was quick. The inside is nothing special.

My burger order with home cut fries was very tasty, servers were polite. It was quiet when I was there, I imagine it's busy on the weekends

No frills place, reminds me of an In N Out. I ordered the Double Double, er, I mean the Two-N-Two. In my hurry I neglected to order their fresh cut fries. Doh! I wouldn't be surprised if they have a secret menu with Animal Style. Prices are good, staff is friendly. Everything is made to order. The burger was delicious. Perfectly seasoned, fresh ground beef. Fiance's chocolate shake was freshly made and tasty too. I'll definitely be back for another burger, and I'll be sure to ask for fries. SECOND VISIT: Fantastic burger, fries were okay but slightly undercooked. I don't like floppy fries. Three stars for the fries, five for everything else. read more

The lot and interior of the restaurant made me want to drive off and not order food but I went ahead anyways because of these yelp reviews. I'm easy to please when it comes to carry out especially burgers. My first experience was with a female who seemed to hate her job and it showed from the service I got. My only request was grilled onions and that didn't happen. The only positive about the whole experience was the fries they were actually really good. The burger was a huge let down from an establishment that has good yelp reviews and one would expect excellence in their limited menu. The two employees were Indian and were speaking that the whole time with 0 connection. I got one single lettuce leaf and one single tomato all soggy. The inside has a couple random pictures from the sandlot movie but really the whole vibe is off and not inviting. It's almost as if this restaurant started out awesome and was doing well and then was bought out and the service crashed. read more

I avoid chain places and I so wanted to like this place but the food was so bad. Soggy, greasy fries, cold hamburger with the thinnest patty ever and thin banana flavored milk passed off as a shake. It was an hour until closing, so maybe I'll give it a second chance during daytime. read more

Been eyeing thus burger place for awhile since it's right near my gym. Came to grab the 4x4 and was excited to see they give the option for raw vs grilled onions. The service was great and everyone was very nice. The anbiance of the store was casual and okay but I cared less for that since I was getting to go. The burger was definitely meaty and delicious. I wish it had some options for more kick/sauce options but otherwise was perfect. Definitely glad to find a nearby burger spot for those craving days! read more

1st impressions is the place is a slum lol buts actually very clean inside. Prices were more than listed online, but not by much. Place is freezing fyi (they're not fans of putting on the heat so wear your coat. Fries were super fresh and good! Double burger and hot dog was decent but had better. Service was polite tho which is nice read more

The name is appropriate - this is not the major leagues. There's nothing special here. The hot dog was not hot, and if you don't tell them what you want on it, they don't ask and just assume everything, so I had to pick out the tomatoes and sport peppers. I'm also not a fan of twice-cooked fries, which were probably cooking after the hot dog was topped and wrapped. At least the parking lot wasn't full, and I was already headed west on Touhy Ave when I decided to try it. read more

Small space but mighty delicious burger. I plan to rewatch The Sandlot as it's been awhile. :)

I don't know what happened to this place. it was soooo dirty. Everything was filthy. glass doors, tables, counters and the kitchen was so greasy. it was disgusting. I did not end up eating what o ordered out of fear of getting sick. it was also 85 degrees in there so you could never comfortably eat inside. it's horrible. Very sad. read more

Walked in excited about this place and drove 40 minutes round trip out of my way to go here. I don't eat carbs so I asked for burger patties. The cashier went back to ask the cook if they could make me just the patties. The chef very clearly said, "I could but I won't". They must of been too busy with the two other customers in there. Great customer service, so I just walked out. So sorry to inconvenience the cook. read more

A perfectly on point chicago hot dog.The only thing it's lacking is the poppy seeds on the bun. Really good home cut french fries. I would have liked to try the Burgers. Maybe next time!!! read more

Service is solid, it will take a while so plan ahead. They are not fast service as everything is made to order. Fries are amazing and the burger very high quality. Pricing is a bit on the high side but loved the old school feel of the not so fast food burger shop. read more

Looking at the reviews, we had high hopes. Almost left when the young lady was extremely rude while taking our order. My husband asked if they had pizza puffs and she said (with a sneer) "What?!" He ordered the two-on-two and she asked if he wanted grilled or raw onions. He didn't hear her and I repeated what she said. She obviously was not happy to be there and did not realize that being nice to your customers is a must in the F&B industry. I ordered the chicken sandwich with an order of fries. As you can tell by the pictures, their chicken needs to be cooked a few minutes longer and the burgers need to be cooked a few minutes less. Their fresh cut fries was the only thing I didn't mind paying for. read more

Date: 28-June-2024 Time: Early lunch Total (before tip): $11.96 Payment type: Cash Server: Ordered at the counter/Peter Grade: A So I was in the neighborhood for memorial service and wanted to pick up some food for an early lunch. The place looked empty when I entered, maybe one person. I came up to the counter and ordered their Two-N-Two and some fries. It didn't take too long for my food to come out. I started with fries and they were pretty good! I liked the fact that they were hand cut, not pre-frozen kind. I ordered my burger without onions (had to go back to work and deal with people), and it was pretty delicious! I think their special sauce was the difference! Overall an A experience! If I am ever back in the neighborhood, I will stop by! read more

Excellent food. So good. We did pay a pretty penny but we got three meals with awesome sauce milkshakes so totally worth it.

Food is good not to bad, service is nice. But I will say I was so surprised when i opened my drink and found a bunch of ants in my drink! I'm just so confused how the cashier didn't see the ants in my cup as she was filling the drink. A small mistake can go a long way. There's nothing wrong with the food or service but they should definitely take the extra mile and really clean their restaurant to avoid problems like this. I'm so upset that this happened because my burger was so good! read more

Tried out Sandlot for the first time and it was worth the hype! We got a veggie cheeseburger with their signature sauce and fries! The sauce was SO good! I highly recommend ordering it next time you go. The fries were very fresh and crispy! I didn't love the ice cream sundae but my friend orders an ice cream shake which was good. The service was great the staff was really friendly! The only thing is that the restaurant wasn't clean - is recommend eating outside and/or taking it Togo! read more

"You're killing me Smalls," the fries were better than the burger. And the burgers were very thin patties even doubled up. I ate 2 doubles easy. It was a little less quality than 5 guys, but okay overall. GREAT branding tho, and I'm surprise they don't get sued by The Sandlot movie guys! Go team go! They might as well have hired Sandlot 9-10 year olds also as they they got our orders wrong BOTH times lol. Funny AF. I asked for grilled onions, and instead I got everything on my burger tomatoes, lettuce, and more WITHOUT onions lol. I think someone might be quitting soon and is pranking all the customers read more

The food is fantastic and all offerings are reasonably priced. Everything is cooked to order but still comes relatively quickly. It's window service with pleasant staff. Bare bones on the decor, but it kept clean and well maintained. If you are a fan of In-N-Out Burger, their "Two-N-Two Burger" is a great clone of INO's "Double Double": The fresh cut fries are great also. Give it a try! read more

02/23/21 - Ok so I was hongry afta seein da doc @ . I've been eatin pretty healthy but I've been cravin a boiger. I had a clean bill of health's so I thought what da heck? I et here many years ago and thought their boiger was ok not the bottom of the line( (certainly better then McDonalds but not as good as some of the betta boiger joints. Mehh I was hongry and it was close to da doctas office so I dropped in & ordered a double cheeseboiger wit bacon (Dey only have American cheese) to me a boiger is betta wit chedda. Dis boiger also cam w/grilled onions, tomato, lettuce & condiments. They also have a triple & quadruple cheeseboiger (a little overkill). The cashier told me someone ordered 10 burgers (a lot of overkill). I stand by my original review of 3 stars somewhere in the middle of the pack. Decent burger at a decent price but not anything that wowed me. You still can't eat in the restaurant so I had a sloppy drippy burger in my car. read more

Try to place an order, but the woman answering the phone had such a language barrier that it was impossible to do.

Considering the great reviews, I would think that they would at least have somebody that knew how to take an order. read more
