Not too many seats so there could be a wait during busy days but for a burger this good I'd say it's worth the wait. Good service and great ambience. I've been going there for years and it's always great. There's all sorts of burgers in the area but this is the best one. Stop in and your stomach will be happy and so will you. I promise you will love the food and the place. Great food and great service. Is what you're in for

These two "fellows" know more about this implausible city than Oprah, Barack and Michael all rolled into one. Yeah, these two "Starkers" (Big Bosses) got this city down! With that grandiose opening, only these two "Starkers" could take me out for dinner to a restaurant 50 miles away (round trip) on a Saturday night. This better be good, I thought. Charlie Beinlich's Food and Tap out in Northbook is this Dive Bar / Tavern established in 1950 and looked and felt every bit of its 75 years; I absolutely LOVED this place. Wow, talk about nostalgia! Beinlich's emanated an era way back when that just doesn't exist anymore. At 7:30 pm this Saturday night this cash only place was packed to over flowing. I mean Humming like a turbine engine. The bar was sold out and we jumped on the only table left. Now the fun started: * Their Chili con Carne is this cauldron of meat and beans done thoroughly right. We loved it * Their shrimp cocktail was equally wonderful * My Cheeseburger was out of this world. With sautéed onions, real cheddar cheese, on toasted rye bread - Wow, it was so good. * Their French fries and coleslaw were great sides * My Miller Highlife Beer in a bottle took me back to my college days. The service was great, the ambience was better and the crowd was just this mess of very happy people. Will I come back here - a resounding YES! This is exactly what happens to you when you go out with the right people.

Fries were fresh and crispy, perfect, and really liked this burger with Thr avocado slices on it. Very friendly service, who checked on us three times to see how we were doing.

When my child and I come up to the Luries, we usually grab lunch at Epic. Reminds me of another…read moreburger place but better. The black angus beef is halal from Creekstome Farms, they use cage free eggs, and nitrate free bacon- and burgers and fries and made fresh to order. I like how they have organic Tractor products and maybe one day they'll carry their sodas. They also have chicken sandwiches, tenders, hot dogs, and salad The place is always clean and service is always friendly. My only complaint is- while they try to be a "healthier version" of fast food, with well sourced items- they carry ketchup with high fructose syrup. Which they would spend a little more and go organic or at least something without HFS.

I got the Paradise Pup with everything on it (mustard, onion, pickle spear, relish, peppers) and a side of fries. The food came out reasonably quick for how busy it was and the hot dog was great and the fries were salted. This is a dive like place and is right off the road. Parking is tight and limited. This is definitely going to be a place I come back to when I'm in the area.

Delicious burgers, but outside seating only, so you might want to take it to go if it's a bit cold…read more I went here around 3:00 p.m. and there was still a very long line. This place is listed in some lists as the best burger joint in Illinois. It's really solid. And the shakes are very good, too. They do crinkly fries, in case that's your jam. I enjoyed the flavor of the burger, although I do wish there were more pickles. :-) We had to wait for a table outside, and it was a little bit chilly, but overall I felt it was worth it.

When we walked in it was total chaos with 4 different lines, some folks waiting to order food, some waiting on take out and others just not sure what to do. We had about 10 people cut in front of us to order ice cream because we weren't sure and they just kept helping people next to us. After about 20 minutes of waiting we finally got our orders only to be totally shocked that each cone with 1 small scoop of ice cream was about $7 each. When the ice cream didn't even fill the cone. We should've just gotten a point for that price since the pint was $8.50. The ice cream was really good, but perhaps we'll try an off time where it's not full of people to visit again.

We ordered a fried deviled egg appetizer. I thought it was a 3, but everyone else said 4.5-5 stars. We ordered the chicken fettuccini. Kid rated it 4 stars. We ordered a cheeseburger. Kid rated that 5 stars. I ordered the lunch menu chicken bowl with white rice. I felt like the chicken wasn't what I was expecting, it was breaded and sweet, I was expecting grilled chicken. Which I think would've been better. It came to me warm, but I felt like it sat a little? 3.5 stars. We ordered a soup and sandwich combo.

I have a confession - I may have developed an addiction to their Kung Pao! I have not stopped…read morethinking of it for a whole entire week and it was one of those meals that left such good memories that I can still "taste" it - y'know? I hadn't been since their renovation and made it there last Thursday. It was really cute ambiance - I loved the interior designer's work. The place has options of seating - inside and outside, ranging from metal chairs to comfortable upholstered benches. We got the tom kha to begin with, which my husband, who's not vegetarian, devoured. It was truly delicious! We then got the Kung Pao with mushrooms and it was incredible - the flavors, the choice of vegetables, the sauce - all of it! We also got a chow mein but with rice noodles - this was the one dish that could take some improvement. Granted, the original recipe calls for wheat noodles, and that might be really good, though our rice noodles version of it was came out soggy. Our server had clearly had a long day - she was tired and forgetful (didn't bring us rice and we had a hard time flagging her down to request it). She also just brought us the check after dinner, without asking if we wanted any dessert. All in all, highly recommend this place for delicious plant-based food.
