    Farm Burger ... no epic sauce.
    Mitchellie V.

    They were pretty quick... got it to go. Got small Cajun fries... Dog & Farm Burger... delish!!!

    Receipt of food purchased

    If you're hungry, in a group, or even just looking for a straightforward burger spot near Loyola, I'd suggest skipping Epic Burger. Our group of 12 showed up around 8pm on a Monday night, typically a slower time you'd expect to grab a bite and relax. There was a family of 8 ahead of us, so we waited in line about 20 to 25 minutes but never even made it to the register. Figuring it might speed things up, I placed a $34.06 order through the Toast app. Shortly after, a young dark haired white woman working there informed us that all orders placed at the counter were takeout only, even though the restaurant was nearly empty and there was plenty of seating. She told us we couldn't eat inside, even though the place was open until 9pm. That made no sense, especially after waiting in line and ordering food through their app. I went up to the counter to explain we didn't realize there was no dine-in and asked to cancel our order. A male worker told us to cancel it through the app. Problem is, there was no cancel option available. So, I ended up paying for food we never received, and 11 others in our group walked out without spending a dime. We ended up grabbing dinner at a chicken chain down the street, and at least there, we were served with a little professionalism and respect. The food at Epic Burger? Never got to try it. The ambiance? Unavailable. The service? Easily one of the worst experiences I've had in Chicago. If you're on a tight schedule, especially as a Loyola student, save yourself the hassle. This place doesn't seem to value your time or your business.

    Grilled chicken sandwiches and EPIC FRIES
    Sharon B.

    Quick service and we had a buy one get one coupon. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. Rather than a burger, we both had the grilled chicken which was delicious. French fries were exceptionally good as well. They even had a gluten-free bun, which made me happy! We will have to try the hamburger next time.

    Loaded fries

    This place is so underrated. The double cowboy burger was elite. The loaded fries were excellent and the staff is phenomenal!

    two burgers with lettuce and a side of ketchup
    Azka I.

    A great spot for a halal burger. The grilled chicken and beef burger are both halal but not the rest of the meat. The burgers were brought out in less than 5 minutes. I got grilled chicken in a lettuce wrap with epic sauce. The lettuce could have been wrapped around better because it was just placed on the top and bottom which lead to the burger being hard to eat. The chicken tasted good and fresh. The beef burger was good and juicy. The fries were nothing special. Happy hour is 2-5 pm and burgers are only $5.99.

    Sweet potato fries and hot honey
    Nicole O.

    I enjoyed my first time at Epic Burger. The hot honey chicken sandwich was good and messy. Get your napkins ready! The service was excellent and went above and beyond what you expect from fast food. I was very impressed and would return again.

    BYOB & SWEET POTATO FRIES
    Jacob P.

    Great burger spot! Smash patties and notably fresh veggie toppings. Probably one of the few places you can get a "craft" burger for less than $10. Everything is a la carte, but a large fry is more than enough to share between two people. Staff were friendly, service was quick, and floor had plenty of tables and was clean. We'll be back!

    CLASSIC EPIC BURGER
    Wendy P.

    Seriously fresh and tasty burger. It's cooked smash burger style with onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a special sauce. You have the option to customize toppings and they also have a double or triple patty option. Whoa! The menu has a bunch of other classic burger joint features including fries, fish sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, milk shakes and much more. Very friendly service with plenty of places to sit but we opted to grab and go. I will be back to try them all. Nom nom!

    Classic build your own with sweet potato fries!
    Susan W.

    I've lived in Chicago for 8 years and this was my first visit to an Epic Burger and I'm so sad I waited this long. The space was nice and there were tables outside as well. We were helped promptly and I liked seeing the food being cooked right there on the flat top. Our cashier was very friendly and we waited just a couple minutes for our food. The food was absolutely delicious! Fresh and well cooked. The sweet potato waffle fries were nice and crispy and well salted. Prices are very reasonable and I'm going to make this part of my regular rotation. Definitely a great burger!

    No good vegan options :(…read more I got the green salad and added avocado (paid extra just for 30% of an avocado) and extra dressing. Overpriced salad for sure. Also the outdoor seating was horrible. No umbrellas so we were melting under the hot sun the whole time. My friends enjoyed the fries but said the burger lacked veggies.

    There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.
