Chopper's is a great alternative between the big 3 fast food joints, and the higher end burger places. Char broiled is the way to go most of the time for a burger. The "Choppak," is their best seller. It's a hearty double cheeseburger with the usual trimmings. Buns are much better than most places, as they are lightly toasted, but still retain enough moisture. The fries are huge steak fries, yum. The shakes are thick and delicious. The downside is they are not hand dipped, but soft serve instead. They're still good though. The cole slaw needs work. It's way too creamy and doesn't have that sweet, nor tangy flavor that a good cole slaw should. The Choppak and fries will run you $6.50 sans drink plus tax. Please make the cole slaw better. read more

Good burgers and Italian sausage (get it dipped). The Oreo shake is amazing. ChoppPack is a great value.

We were out doing errands and got hungry, so we stopped in for the first time. Small diner atmosphere. Good sized menu and generous portions. I got the Benny Burger, a triple meat burger with lots of cheese and gf got the Chop Pak which is a double burger with steak fries and cole slaw. She couldn't finish half of it and we split the sides. The burgers also have a slight crisp due to burning at the edges. I liked it, but made the burger seem more salty than it should. Also ordered a chocolate shake, but we got an Oreo shake. Not sure if that's what they considered chocolate, was still very good, just not what I ordered or expected. LOTS of food for under $20. NOT a lot of parking at this place. Awkward placement of spaces makes getting in and out difficult, especially when other customers park crooked in their car and are just sitting there eating and watching you try to back out without hitting them. Not the establishment's fault though. read more

Drove by for the longest time and finally went in. So glad I did, definitely was a pleasant surprise. Great prices, awesome portions. That is all! So glad it's so close. read more

All food here is good.The burgers here are fantastic. The flavor is so good I get it with just cheese only, sometimes with grilled onions.The chop pack is an excellent deal and the food is great. If you like a lot of meat on your burger go for the quad you can't beat it five burgers five pieces of cheese. All the food here is excellent and it's very clean I would recommend this if you want a great burger at a reasonable price. read more

Food is still great. Burgers and shakes are amazing. Did pickup this time and saw 3 staff with noses exposed and 2 with mouths exposed and talking. Worst COVID safety I've seen at any Chicago restaurant. 5 for food, 1 for mask use. read more

They are offering pickup and delivery options during COVID. Their milkshakes are amazing and you get a lot of bang for your buck compared to others! Food is also very good - definitely satisfies the late night cravings! read more

One of the guys that worked there had a horrible attitude and was really rude , looks like I won't be coming back.

When I don't feel like cooking..Choppers it is!! My children get so excited to see those huge burgers and fries. I get excited for the milkshake. Apple Pie milkshake is a must try!! read more

I'm consistently impressed with the quality and value of the quad cheese burger, which is actually five patties. I peel off three patties and enjoy the double cheeseburger..... and have three patties left over for a do it yourself burger. The meat is grilled perfectly and it's not a greasy gut bomb. The bun is bakery style and holds up reasonably well. Lettuce & tomato seem fresh as well. For $7.95, it's the best value in town. Fries are not included at that prices, but I'm not a fan of thick cut streak fries anyway. read more

Freshly grilled double cheeseburger, steak fries and slaw for $6.99. Find me a better deal

Choppers in chicago This place is a sleaze bucket dump my first time here and I should of left when I grabbed the filthy door handle or when I got that whiff of dirty rotten mop water smell as I walked in...I asked a couple that were sitting there eating how was the food they said it was Great! they looked happy so i ordered, two double cheese to go, got home and WTF, OMG! I wouldn't feed this garbage to my worst enemy I was going to take it back but my wife talked me out of it, it was the worst I've had in at lease 20 years I swear I have never written a review on any place before ever this is my first this place is discussing but I guess you get what you paid for $21.00 a total waste of money.....NEVER AGAIN...yuk -No star read more

Absolutely love this place for lunch. I work near by and live the smell of the burgers cooking on the grill. The Choppack is my go to order. When I have the taste for for something else I go with the Chili Frito which is an off menu item. Its a bowl of Chili, cheese, Fritos, and giardiniera. Got to try it. read more

This place is your average, run of the mill, greasy Chicago hot dog/burger joint. The food quality is average, the taste is average, and the price is average. I'm glad i stopped here once so i know never to go back. I did not have the milk shake, bu if it's nything like the burger, i'll pass thanks. read more

On my way to catch the Metra I popped into to Choppers for Hot Dogs and fries which was very enjoyable. The people working there were very friendly and you cannot beat the price. read more

Been hearing about this place from a friend of mines. Finally stopped by there today. When I first got there, the place kind of reminded me of "Checkers" from back in the days. I like the type of food they serv. Burgers, Pizza Puffs, Cheese Fries, Hot dogs, Polish. Fast food on the cheap. The best way to describe the type of food would be "Stoner Heaven". I stupidly ordered an Italian Beef, I should've known better then to order a beef sandwich at a place like this. But I havent had a beef sandwich for awhile and I was craving it. The sandwich was barely edible, it was terribly salty. I did not end up finishing it. I know my toilets gonna love me tonight. I also had the cheesefries, the sauce was ok, but the fries were actually very good. The strawberry milkshake I had wasn't too bad. My buddy has their double burger with coleslaw and fries for $4.95. It looked pretty good and he said it was good. I will come back hear to try the burgers one day, or if I ever get a case of the munchies, this will be my spot. read more

BEWARE THE BONELESS RIB SANDWICH! Ate here yesterday in the afternoon with my dad. My dad got the beef combo and I got the boneless rib. Now I wanna start off by saying the coleslaw tasted really watery, and was pretty bad. Not to mention it was the smallest dollop possible. The steak fries (or whatever the thick cut fries are called. Like Red Robins steak fries) were really good, THICC, and extremely hot and fresh. Now the RIB. My god it exceeded my expectations. It was pretty big! It came out pretty messy though so I'd advise asking for extra napkins or less sauce, depending on what kind of person you are. The best part was the grill taste left on the patty. Think a McRib but probably twice the size-ish and a good bit of that fiery grill taste. Love that! read more

The double cheeseburgers have a really good char grilled taste but were a little dry. But the cheese on them was great. Also had a tamale, which was only like $1.69 and, though it's probably not an authentic tamale I really liked the flavor. I was really impressed with the milk shake. So thick you really need a spoon to "drink" it and they have like 10 different flavors. It's hard to find a mocha shake so I was excited that they had them. And the small one, which is $3.99, was actually quite large. I think it makes more sense to go here than to go to one of the big chains. read more

Stopped at Choppers today for the peanut butter - chocolate milkshake for my wife and son. Best in the city!

Best Customer service, friendly cashier, and calm place. Good cheeseburgers and fries! Reminds me of good burger inside once you enter.

Ugh. Worst Chicago hotdog ever! Avoid. They don't use Vienna Beare. They have off brand mustard, relish ever Crappy ketchup for your fries. Never again. read more

First time here the building just caught my attention nice theme I had a Polish with fires and my husband had a triple burger he said no cheese they repeated no cheese and guess what? They gave him cheese the food was nice and hot can't complain other then the cheese But other then that the food was good we got there when it was closing so we ate outside. ( They had a little table with chairs outside ) not bad read more

Single reason I went here was to put my body through the stress test of taking down the QUAD BURGER. The menu says "Quad Burger, enough said" To this I reply NOOO, NOT ENOUGH SAID!!! The quad burger is 5 patties, not 4!!! I unhinged my jaw to try take the first bite of the monstrous burger in which a poor cow gave it's life so my fatass can feel like I've accomplished something in life. It took approximately 4 bites (after that I blacked out) to finally take my first bite of the top bun. Prior, I was working my way up the ladder through layers upon layers of meat and cheese. After coming back to it, I had realized that I finished everything, or at least that's what they told me. My face smelled of ketchup, mustard and greasy meat. The entire lower half of my face had become a flavor savor. The entire experience has changed my life. I've never been at such a low point in life allowing my hunger to get the best of me and to think it was acceptable to down and entire 5 patty burger on a Monday. But I can at least hold my head up high and say I started and finished the Choppers Quad Burger. read more

Low quality frozen food. I ordered their hot tamales and they literally sent me 2 tamales in sealed plastic "microwaveable" bags. If I wanted to buy microwaveable food, I would have hit up the freezer section at Costco. This is absolutely the laziest thing I've ever seen from a restaurant. I'm never ordering here again. read more

Choppers - Lazy. I ordered what I thought were fresh tamales and got soggy microwaveable gas station food. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you're looking for a decent meal on a budget this is the go to place for sure. The combo meals come with fries and cole slaw. I've ordered from this place 2 days in a row now. Guess you can say I'm on a budget. The service was fast in comparison to my usual Grubhub delivery orders. My fries were a bit cold but overall not bad for burger,fries and coleslaw for $6.99 read more

Choppers - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Choppers has a 5 patty burger called the quad. " I know..quad means four" This burger coupled with slaw and fries is called the quad pack. It is a sight to behold. I do not recommend consuming this behemoth without a plan...a very specific plan for lavatory access. Otherwise...your eventual plans will become an afterthought to self preservation. The machinations of the human digestive system are a wonder bestowed upon us by the Almighty. Consider yourselves warned.... read more

The absolute best burger for the deal! The choppak is for real. The friendliest staff around as well. Check 'em out!

Solid burgers -- get the quad well done! Also incredible service during Covid with both pickup and really fast delivery (used uber and door dash so far). A gem! read more

So after a love affair with Choppers, I'm ending it. The food is still good (for fast food). It's the delivery drivers who i can't stand. I get a call from this delivery driver saying he's downstairs. I tell him I'll be right out. Awesome, my food's on time. I walk outside literally 30 seconds later to see a confused delivery driver on the other side of the street, cursing me out, muttering things like "Where is this fucking guy?" I wave to him, as if to say "Odd numbers are on this side of the street, buddy." He crosses the street without looking, narrowly misses getting hit by a car, and has the nerve to tell me I gave them the wrong address. That's funny because the slip on the bag he handed me has the right one written right on it. I was polite and kind. I said "thank you." He turned around and barked "yeah" and walked away. Not worth the hassle. The people at the counter when you go there aren't much better either. If it puts you out to do your job, you're not going to keep customers. I'd also kill for a burger from this place to be cooked less than well-done. Their meat is good, but well-done beef isn't. read more

Walking up to the place from W. North Ave., we saw a raggedy sign that said "choppers" on an equally raggedy building... "is it closed?" we all clamored. We kept walking and saw a huge plume of smoke right on top of the actual Choppers establishment. First red flag. Anyways, the hunger was real and we headed on in. It was pretty smoky inside too, since they have so many burgers ready on the grill. Ordered the special which consists of a double cheeseburger, cole slaw, a pile of large steak fries, and a drink. So I mean the experience itself wasn't bad or anything because the service was nice and the food came out pretty quick. The main thing for me, and for many people is obviously the taste of the food. The burger was lackluster... nothing great to pay $7 for. I got a some cheese sauce to dip the fries in, but it was not good, I repeat, not good. Side note: the oreo shake was really good. So essentially, just order that if you come here. As I'm writing this review, I see the post next to me saying the same thing, wish I had seen it before actually going there. read more

Next time you go to Choppers, try this. As soon as the guy yells out your order to the cooks, start counting the seconds. (Um, silently, duffus.) If you make it to more than 200 before you have part of your order, and 500 before your whole order, you win a free Choppack. OK, I lied about the prize part. But damn, it's FAST food, and much better than average. Oh, and all the stuff people have already said about their shakes is true. read more

Choppers is the bomb when it comes to 'I just got dumped and need to drown in grease' food. One of my favorite Ashland spots. They're so quick and tasty. If you haven't had fries and a milkshake from choppers, you haven't lived life fully. read more

Choppers - So. Delicious. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you like your burgers charred and greasy, Choppers should be your destination. The Triple is huge even for a guy that can eat. The food is acceptable, but nothing spectacular. The staff there is friendly enough, it's not like I was planning to sit down and chat them up or anything. Really it comes down to do I need a greasy charred burger to satisfy my cravings. If the answer is yes, now you know where to go. Pros:Huge Burgers Cons: Heart Attacks from blocked arteries Cost: $$ of 5 Overall Rating: 4 of 5 Recommendation: Recommended read more

When I moved to Chicago, every time I drove by this place and smelled the burgers, I thought to myself, I bet this place tastes better than most the fast food joints out there. About a couple years back, I finally picked up food (cheeseburger) and for being a hole in the wall, it was pretty amazing. I don't know why it took 2 years to visit this place again, but we finally decided to order delivery. The good? They were pretty quick. Unfortunately that was the only positive. Even though the directions said to ring the top doorbell, the delivery guy called and when we went downstairs, we didn't see anyone. I guess he was honking his horn because he couldn't be bothered to get out of the car. He finally got out to give us our food and seemed pretty annoyed (note: we did tip). Then, to make the experience even worse, the food was pretty horrific. Both the cheeseburger and turkey burger were severely overcooked. The bacon on the cheeseburger was so hard, I was afraid I was going to crack a tooth. This place is getting 2 stars because of my first experience. It will take desperation to make me want to get food from here again.. read more

I have eaten here a couple of times and let me just say HELL YES CHOPPERS! This place rules, period. My friend and I got the Chop Pak which consists of a double cheeseburger that is a legit freshly made cheeseburger, fries and coleslaw. Bang, perfection and all for only $5.95. We also had to try out some of their shakes, I went with the Cinnamon Apple Pie shake which was honestly the best shake I have had in years. I am 100% sure any person who buys that shake will die and go to milkshake heaven just like I did. It actually had chunks of apple, yum. My friend tried their S'mores shake that I think is a special item and isn't always for grabs. Of course that one was delicious too but I definitely preferred mine. The inside of the place has a ton of candy machines, as well as cute little knick knacks you can buy with the change you have collecting dust in your car or pocket, while you wait for your order. I swear it only took them 5 minutes to get our order together which was lovely. This place is great and I highly recommend it. read more

Hungover? Need grease that isn't breakfast? Want a damn good milkshake? You gotta come here! Choppers have a great thing going. Their food is good. As good as grilled short-order can be. Careful. They will slip another patty in if you want a burger. Found that out when I ordered the triple. OOF! Their fries are good and big. The steak fries kind. I always have gotten the Cinnimon Apple Pie shake. yummmm. Here is one of the best parts: The booth right when you walk in from the South enterance is possibly THEE most comfortable booth I have sat at in a LONG time! I would have given it 4 stars but the price is kind of up there. read more

I've been coming to Chopper's specifically for their yellowfin tuna steak sandwich since they were on Clark Street fifteen years ago. The oreo malt is also a frequent indulgence despite my bowelogically crippling battle with lactose intolerance (appetizing, no?). They also have the best freaking cole slaw in the world. The only thing that makes it better is dipping the overwhelming portion of fries they give you into it. Lastly, I am both charmed and disturbed by the fact that several of the employees recognize me and address me by name years after I stopped coming here so often. read more
