This is very close to my house and I have been here many many times. I'm surprised I have not wrote a review yet. I have to say the customer service has gotten better now that they've been open quite a while in the beginning they were not too friendly. The food here is excellent but you do have to wait a while for the food but I think that's a good thing you know it's always made to order and fresh. Their cheeseburgers are probably one of the best cheeseburgers I've had especially with the Mertz cheese sauce Yum Yum. Pitas are great also steak sandwiches and fries !! read more

Had a burger, onion rings and cole slaw delivered by GrubHub. Fast courteous delivery and earlier than expected. First the burger. It was their basic single patty. But wow, it was huge. I got mine with an egg on it. Char broiled to medium as specified. And it was very good. On a brioche bun. Onion rings came a bit cold but were still crunchy an edible. The coleslaw was fresh and made in store. This was a good choice. Will order again. read more

We ordered takeout from here a few nights ago. We got two gyros, chicken strips, and mozzarella sticks. While the food was decent, it was all fairly cold by the time we got it. The chicken strips were delicious - more like cutlets than traditional tenders. We ended up microwaving the mozz sticks to get them melts again. They definitely did not skimp on the meat in the gyros. All it needed was the red sauce, they only used the white sauce. For the price and speed, this was a great delivery option. Although I'm not sure I would visit for a sit down meal. read more

I wanted to like it, I really did. The pictures of the food looked great. Finding out they had fresh cut fries sealed the deal. I ordered through Doordash. I put in specific instructions like no lettuce, etc. My food came in right when they said it would. Problem is the restaurant ignored my requests. I can't eat lettuce. I have a digestive disease that prevents me from eating it. Don't you know my burger came covered in shredded lettuce! You'll probably say just pick it off. It's not as simple as that. I also asked for and paid extra for Merkt's cheddar fries. Of course the fries came covered in that fake, tasteless cheese sauce, and the Merkt's was on the side. The fries were ruined. Take away....the only thing I could eat was the tiny cup of Merkt's cheese. $16.27 worth of food went in the garbage. read more

Ordered from Grubhub and my order had left the restaurant before they decided to tell me that half my order was out of stock. So half our dinner party doesn't get to eat tonight. Thanks a lot guys. Won't be giving you our business. BEWARE! Edit: after this review was posted this restaurant responded and proceeded to post my personal Information in the comments, including my address and phone number. This is not a business you want to frequent. Any wrongdoing on their part and they retaliate by sharing all your personal information. Again, BEWARE! read more

I decided to look through GrubHub and see if anything good would pop up and catch my attention. The name immediately gave me a good feeling about this choice. Let's put it like this, I wasn't blown away and I also wasn't completely let down. It was just about average, not that there is anything wrong with that, I just think they could have done much better. I got a pretty basic cheeseburger with a side of fries. The burger was cooked medium, just how I wanted it and it did taste like it was cooked very well. It was also smothered in BBQ sauce, I did ask for it on the burger but I think they put way to much. The fries were your standard super oily frozen French fries, nothing special. Again, nothing really wrong with the place, just nothing above average. You'll get an average meal at an average price. My extra thought....a nice touch would have been to have a choice of a pretzel bun for my burger and an upgrade on the fries. Maybe sweet potato fries or just better quality fries, not with so much oil. I feel like all of the top spots in the city offer some extra options to choose from. Response to the owner "It's awesome to hear that you guys respond to your customers and are willing to improve, I will definitely come back and try it again" read more

The Merkts Cheddar burger. Get the single, the double is HUGE. Favorite NWS burger joint.

Both the food and customer service is excellent. I've only tried one of the veggie burgers with fries and it's safe to say I enjoyed it to the fullest :) Plus the employees are downright hilarious and extremely friendly! read more

Blaze-N-Grill - Black Bean Chipotle Philly Burger (I asked for no green peppers) - Pretty good, tastes like any normal burger to me - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Not a good first impression at all. For many years, this was a vacant storefront on the corner of Milwaukee & Devon. After it got rehabbed and sported new awnings, I was hopeful of the new restaurant. Wrong! They opened for business this week on Tuesday. I came on Friday around 6 pm and the place was uncomfortably hot inside since the AC broke down. Not only that but it was a long wait. We waited about 40 minutes for our food. For an upscale-looking, semi-fast food joint, that is a serious problem. One thing I immediately noticed is the mass confusion of orders. We were #24. There was a #10 in a bag sitting on the counter the duration of our visit. Meanwhile, an employee was walking around asking who ordered #14. Nobody came forward. Then there was the search for who ordered #17. Meanwhile, people kept coming in and the confusion of orders continued. So 30 minutes into our wait, we took our drinks and the employees asked what number we had. At that point there was no line but they weren't exactly banging out the orders either. And the constant "here or to go?" questions, even after people said it when they ordered. Turns out, the guys cooking the food forgot to clear some orders filled and were doing them all over again, with nobody there to claim orders already picked up. So 40 minutes later, we got our grilled chicken breast, Maxwell Polish, onion rings and fresh-cut fries. OK, the chicken was juicy and tasty, not dry at all. Fries were excellent, even if on the soggy side. There was a side salad with my platter and it was a mix of assorted greens, not the usual iceberg lettuce, so I liked that. Broken air conditioning aside, the food quality was passable and good. Service was atrocious. I should also mention the parking lot is tiny and cramped, where vehicles have very little room to maneuver getting in or out. I foresee fender benders in the tiny lot. With Superdawg in plain sight less than a block away and The Garage Bar maybe 2 blocks down Milwaukee, this place better get its act together or it will get hammered by those 2 establishments. Guess where I'll be going next time. read more

The cheese fries are insanely good. I'm unsure of what the person complaining about them ate, but these were some of the best cheese fries I have ever had. I consider myself a connoisseur of cheese fries, so I know my stuff. I know my stuff REAL well. In addition to being a connoisseur of cheese fries, I also consider myself a gyrossier (that is, a kind of sommelier for gyros.) Their gyros, unfortunately, weren't so great... which was kind of a bummer. I mean... I ate it, but there was a little bit of sadness as I finished my sandwich. The tzatziki sauce is tasty, however. My husband had the italian beef, which he enjoyed. They give you the option of having the beef on garlic bread, which is a nice touch! read more

This business just opened a couple of days ago. I went this evening to get dinner. It was a little slow, but I attribute that to them just opening. Onto the food: I had the Merkts Cheddar Burger combo. The burger was good. It was cooked just right and juicy. The bun had a nice buttery flavor. The toppings were fresh and the grilled onions were cooked just right. I think it could have used just a little more cheddar, I didn't notice it until getting deeper into the burger. I really liked the fresh cut fries. They had nice flavor and were cooked just right. The people were friendly and I gave them a little slack for the slow service due to be brand new. I will be returning! read more

Placed an order through GrubHub for Blaze-N-Grill last night after getting back to my new apartment WAY too late, and having a sick, hungry boyfriend waiting for me. I was feeling like a steak sandwich, and Blaze-N-Grill had decent reviews. Can't say I was disappointed! We had: 1 ribeye steak sandwich on garlic bread 1 double merkt's cheddar burger with everything 1 cheesy dog with everything 2 orders of cheese fries I will say, the burger was BOMB. When my boyfriend opened it, I immediately had to taste a bite, because it looked way better than my piddly little steak sandwich. And boy, WAS IT. I would definitely order Blaze-N-Grill for burgers again! I'd skip the steak sandwich though. The cheese fries were just okay, I'm pretty sure I asked for the sauce on the side, but it came on top, which makes the fries soggy. I'm sure asking for well done fries would fix that. Also, I figured since they had a Merkt's burger, that they used Merkt's cheese on their fries, but it was just regular nacho cheese. Oh well. Definitely a solid 4 stars. Delivery was fast, the driver was friendly (our buzzer isn't set up yet.) Thanks, Blaze-N-Grill! read more

Wait WHAT?! I haven't written a review?! This place is A M A Z I N G. One of my favorite hangs in the area. The burger is the best burger I've had in Chicago period. Notice how I didn't say "one of the best". Nope the bite per buck ratio is only surpassed by the beauty to burger ratio. So I'm a huge fan. Their philly is also good and they carry Markt's cheese. So... let your pals go to super dog for the name and pay those prices and go ahead and insist in going across the street for a burger. You will absolutely not be disappointed. Enjoy! read more

The staff is so welcoming and the quality of the food I received was honestly amazing. This place is affordable and convenient! I love that they play sports on the TV! Very attractive staff read more

Great restaurant in the beginning. Once it split into a partnership ribs were off the menu and the quality hamburger meat is not the same. The fries are very good, milkshakes very tasty. But the restaurant is no longer a family favorite and has dropped off our radar. read more

The worst giro ever eat in chicago area and 50 miles radio i travel everywhere because of my work definitely not coming back

Best damn burgers in town. No question. Fresh cut fries. Great steaks. Great salad (don't judge me). Gonna come back for breakfast !! There is a bit of a wait, especially at peak eating times, but this place is so damned worth it. Very reasonable prices... And did I mention the burgers ????? Forget Superdawg across the street. It's for posers who like overpaying for crap. Come here - you'll be glad you did !! Small parking lot - which is ideal for around here - but I does fill up quick read more

Their Bacon Cheeseburger is delicious. I've only been here twice and both times picked up the Bacon Cheeseburger. I have to agree with "Ashour R" for the price, I can't justify going back to Lead Belly. Don't get me wrong, I like Lead Belly, but for the price why? The burger is a meal in in itself. Their fries seasoned well and served crispy. Several friends have recommended other food items on their menu, but for me it will be difficult not to order their burgers. read more

They have Merkt's cheese options. I was feeling down and came in. This place hit the spot. I feel so much better now. Ordered a huge burger, good hot dog, and amazing cheese fries. It was delicious meaty goodness. Shout out to the staff and cooks who are busting their butts to make a delicious and great dining experience. read more

.. so it takes more than two hours & fifteen minutes for Blaze-N-Grill to acknowledge a GrubHub order placed during the standard dinner hour on an ordinary Saturday night.. and the only reason the order WAS acknowledged at two hours & fifteen minutes and counting, was because GrubHub made a phone call to the lacking establishment, to check the status of my order.. .. & that was just after I made a phone call to GrubHub, asking why it takes over two hours for a restaurant no more than ten minutes away from me to deliver an order that should take a successful restaurant no more than twenty minutes to prepare in their kitchen. GrubHub promptly called me back, letting me know that Blaze-N-Grill had not seen the order until GH's phone call, but offered a twenty dollar gift certificate if I still wanted the order to be placed.. as if to speculate that I would even entertain the thought of looking out my living room window for a third hour with my fiance & newborn son, while placing bets in my head on whether or not I'll get a phone call with some other excuse as to why my order still remains somewhere other than at my front doorstep. See, my time is valuable, and I'm sure that applies to the general population of the world.. and with that in mind, I think I speak for the general population of the world, when I say they've gotta be out of their damn minds, if they think a twenty dollar discount on a fifty dollar order in a three hour time bracket is gonna seal the deal and make things better. Twenty dollars, ay? Twenty dollars, to buy me off? That's your solution, for a first-time customer? Listen, I can absolutely understand if an order doesn't get immediately processed because of a busy dinner rush. It happens, everywhere, I totally sympathize. I can see where it could take an extra fifteen minutes to be processed. Maybe a half hour. Forty-five minutes, even. Hell, even an hour, at this point, I get it. .. but over two hours? What if I hadn't called GrubHub to get the status of my order. How much longer would I have waited.. Apparently Blaze-N-Grill's open 'til midnight, on a Saturday night. Would I have gotten a knock at my door at twelve thirty in the morning, by some delivery guy with my order in his left hand and a twenty dollar gift certificate in his right hand, while he practices a verbal apology that truly had nothing to do with him, in the first place? .. well.. needless to say, I asked GrubHub to decline Blaze-N-Grill's amateur attempt at Customer Service 101. While Blaze-N-Grill may very well have a quality menu, I will never know this to be true, as tonight would've been my first order, and after an experience like this, I don't care to give the place another chance at repeating the same sequence of events as tonight's display of how not to operate. Oh, and.. after completing my final phone call with GrubHub, I threw on a jacket, took a seven minute drive to a different restaurant, placed the same order as I did at Blaze-N-Grill, and was back at my front doorstep within thirty minutes. Thirty minutes, ladies & gentlemen.. .. but now, a conclusion: To any restaurant wanting to succeed: If you're gonna partner with a service like GrubHub, be sure you're able to follow through with the process. A bigger online ordering presence means nothing if the online orders sit motionless & unnoticed until someone working at your restaurant suddenly remembers that you do, in fact, partner with an online ordering service. Blaze-N-Grill will never again be a dining choice of mine. I hope this review goes noticed, appreciated and helpful to the consumer, as well as the business. Thank you for your time. read more

Blaze-N-Grill is so amazing. Food here was great and phenomenal. I ordered and tried their double cheese burger. It was so tasty, meaty, delicious, and all the ingredients inside the burger is so fresh and new. It is so worth it to try and very flavorful. Prices here are fair, reasonable, and most of their food are affordable. Their menu is so huge, lots of comfort foods, and all of it is can satisfy your cravings. I really enjoyed everything at this place. Their employees are very decent, friendly, nice, and professional. They all know how to do their work properly and how to treat their customers so well. They will greet you once you enter the place. They will assist and guide you to the vacant spot for you to sit. Very personable staff. All of their food was made to perfection. Also they serve it so quick. Will definitely come back again soon when I am nearby. Really want to explore more of their food on the menu. Also to try their new introduce food. Thank you Blaze-N-Grill! Your place is so great! Will see you guys again soon! Thank you and kudos! read more

1st visit- Gyros plate. Great, done right and easily feeds 2 people. 2nd visit- Steak sandwich on garlic bread. VERY good but the sandwich is on the smaller side. 3rd visit- Burger. The Burger is by far the STAR OF THE SHOW! Whenever I do stop by now, its the only thing I order. Its a mouthful (that's what she said). Its soooo good and for the value YOU CAN'T BEAT IT! Its nice to get a burger/fries and a drink for $10 or under. And when I'm done with my meal, I'm on cloud 9! NOBODY IN THE AREA IS MAKING A BETTER BURGER,BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!!! Sorry Lead Belly not sure how you can justify $20 for Burger/fries/Milkshake? Phone orders can be a pain. I don't think I have ever called this place and had a smooth phone order. read more

We had cheeseburger and Italian Sausage. We were warned the sausage was only beef, no pork. The cheeseburger was juicy, large and full of flavor. Very good. The italian sausage was bad, but we were warned it would be different as it is beef only. Fries are good and given plenty. Prices are a little high. read more

Food is good and fresh! I love that charbroiled taste. Pls be patient they cook everything to ordee and its worth the wait!!

I could smell the great grilled burgers while driving by......had to turn around to get back to their parking lot and give it a try....home cut fries and high grade ground beef that has never been frozen.....it was exactly the type of burger I was looking to have!!!! You will not be disappointed in quality, flavor or quantity!!!! read more

I had the Blazing Burger and the Buffalo Wings and they were both amazing. Highly recommend!

Always consistent . The Char burgers are excellent, and fries are hand cut and always good. Staff is friendly. Careful, from the outside it looks like it is closed but it is not. Look for the flashing OPEN signs in the windows. . . . . . then go in and enjoy ! read more

First time ordering from Blaze N Grill and I am not disappointed. Fries are crispy and fresh cut. The burger is well done as I requested and came on a toasted bun. Delicious read more

This place is super convenient for all of us that are avid cyclist out there and don't really want to spend $7 on a hot dog that another venue across the street sells. I had their hot dog here and it was good. It was $2.17(i think) without fries. Not bad. They offered a pickle and hot peppers on it. I went here the other night and ordered a beef sandwich. They gave me a choice of french bread or garlic bread. I stuck with the french bread but the server was really trying to convince me to give it a try. It was different. It was good. Definitely worth a try but I am a classic girl and like the french baguette. read more

Although their food is not bad, the delivery times are horrible, always arrives cold. Ordering online is a hit or miss ordeal. They often get it confused and make it a take out instead of delivery. If you call about slow delivery times they can be very rude to you, instead of trying to make it right they tell you that you screwed up the order. Save yourself a headache and order somewhere else to get better food and friendlier service read more

For a fast food establishment that has been open less than two weeks, the Blaze-N-Grill does nearly everything right. Mostly exceptional food, friendly and efficient service, and a spotless dining area. The selection is broad enough that you will almost certainly find something you want to eat on their menu without it being so huge that it takes you ten minutes to decide (plus, places with overly large menus tend not to do everything well, usually it's the hot dogs that suffer the most). My girlfriend and I went there this past Monday. She had the steak sandwich on garlic bread and I had the bacon cheddar burger. We split an order of onion rings, and we had soft drinks because they still didn't have shakes available (but the girl behind the counter comp'd our drinks as a good-will gesture). The steak sandwich and the burger were both amazing! The garlic bread was a perfect accent to the steak, and the burger was served on a hearty, buttery bun. Both were cooked to perfection, neither were dry, and the meats were so fresh you could actually taste the difference. The onion rings... were rather generic. I'll not be ordering them again, unless they change them. That was the only downside to the meal, hence the 4 stars. I went again last night and had a gyros (with everything) and fries, and again I had a Coke. I forgot to ask if they had shakes yet, I'll have to remember next time. The gyros was tasty and again, cooked to perfection (not dry and overdone). It was heaped so high on the pita that I had to use a fork to eat off the top layer so I could pick the sandwich up to eat it. I wish they had put more sauce on it, next time I'll just ask for extra sauce. The tomato was generic, but how many fast food places have fresh tomatoes? The onion was fresh and had a nice bite to it. The fries were a little underdone and lacked flavor (I'm not sure they were even salted, but there's salt and pepper shakers at every table). Between the onion rings and fries, I'm at a loss for a good side dish. They have chili and soup of the day, I'll probably try those next time. I'm not sure why they're billed as being in Norwood Park, the neighborhood is actually Gladstone Park, and being on that funky corner I was a little concerned that people would pass them by because it's hard to make a left turn into their parking lot from either Milwaukee or Devon. Luckily I live across the street so I just walk there. All in all, they beat the pants off anyone else within walking distance, and they've been open like maybe two weeks. I'll probably be a regular in no time! read more

Service - Dined in, service was exceptional... The staff was very welcoming and ready for my order. Their recommendations were priceless and helped to make my lunch decision. I brought my 10yr old cousin with me who had no idea what he wanted, the staff patiently helped him make a decision which made things easier on me. Quality - I had the Burger and for the price was shocked when I got fries with it. The Burger was cooked exactly the way I asked for it, medium well. It was flavored to perfection, I'm a fan of lead belly but for the price and portion I can't justify it after this burger. The fries were crispy and flavorful, it was a great lunch. Overall - The restaurant is very clean, staff is extremely helpful (even the cook interacted with us during our visit), food is excellent (my friend said the gyros is worth trying) and price is affordable, the way burgers should be (sorry Lead Belly)... In all I had a very good first impression. read more

I'm all about waiting the extra time for a fresh not frozen burger and fries but Blaze n grill has taken the wait time a lil far. Ordered from here twice before via good ol grub hub and although Blaze n grill are only 1.2 miles away, it took over an hour for our food to make it to my door both times. When I call and ask, they say it'll be 10 mins..I asked the delivery boy if he was slammed with orders or something, he replies that mine was the only order he had.Hmmm, ooook. Oddly enough the food was prepared well and the food was delicious! I decided to go directly to the location today to see if the wait time would be the same... sadly it was. The food, again, very good but waiting what felt like 35 mins for a burger combo is not acceptable!! The staff is friendly and attentive but a training at time management would be highly recommended. read more

Placed an order for delivery. Was very excited since this place seemed to have good reviews. Then the order arrived I was so disgusted. First of the kids meal was missing the beverage and small fry. For the regular fries they were loaded with hair. When I called to tell them they told me that next time I order they would give me free fries. There won't be a next time. I have added photos be check before ordering. read more

I can't believe it's been several months since the last time I've been back here...The looks of the place had certainly improved and I did notice the menu changed as the owner points out! I like the owners selling pitch as one of the top tens burgers in Chicago to get me to try their burgers which he claims they're known for;however, I do remember liking others items on their menu... The grilled chicken breast was ok. I also tried the BBQ bacon single burger with grilled onions cooked medium which was good, but I really liked their gyro sandwich with grilled onions more loaded with much more meat than the pita bread can hold! Service was quick and good! Seating was spacious and abundant since we went near closing! Prices are definitely reasonable for portion! read more

This place is the bomb! They just recently remodeled new paint job and made the tables, chairs & booths all the proper heights. Believe me, it was totally off before. But now they are rockin'! Back to the FOOD! Everything is fresh and delicious. I live for their grilled chicken! I get the grilled chicken sandwich on garlic bread. So good! Fries are good too, and they do NOT skimp, always more than i can eat. They also deliver but since everything is made fresh, be prepared to wait. But in all honesty...just go in. The food tastes 100% better in the restaurant. They have Coke products here, free refills and also have SEVERAL milk shake flavors here. read more

So my family of five came to eat at this location. The staff was extremely friendly from the moment we walked in the door. My boys were "starving" and my daughter "the picky eater" wanted some food, we ordered "doubles" for the boys and a "single" for the picky eater. The server was like are you sure you want a double they are huge. Please keep in mind, I have football players and they never get full, but these burgers did not disappoint. My boys were completely STUFFED and my picky eater who NEVER finishes her food ate every morsel. The fries were freshly cut and perfectly cooked. We recently moved here from California and this place was the closest we have found to our favorite burger joint. Most definitely our new "Go to". read more
