    First time here the burger and fries was okay don't don't think my sister liked the wings but the shake and fried Oreos was good. This place seemed kind of overhyped.

    Yeoooo! Patties on top of Patties!! Fat Shack did not disappoint! There's nothing better than a big juicy burger and a creamy shake. I had no idea what I was in for but WOW did they deliver! SMASH the: - Supreme Burger w/Bacon - Onion Rings - Philly Cheesesteak - Vanilla Shake - Fat Cow - Deep Fried Oreos Make sure you come with an empty stomach because you'll want it all!

    This restaurant has everything! Sandwiches, desserts, drinks, and sides! The sandwiches are fat, flavorful, and packed with toppings to fill you up; they'll also be some leftover. Expert service. Ample seating is provided.

    Super clean inside

    My son and I came here for burgers I had a triple it was amazing my son had a single and really loved it also the milkshakes are great and one of my son's favorite things is that a lot of the fries are double fries. Also there is a ton of Chicago memorabilia from sports team see which makes it super cool

    Burger was delicious and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just how I like them

    I had the single cheeseburger with fries and it was delicious. First time here and I recommend it. They have unique sandwiches as well and shakes and other desserts. The inside is spacious with a few booths and barstool seating facing outside. Fast and friendly service.

    Au mother Fugging Cheval -- A Burger That Actually Lives Up to the Hype…read more The Spot itself has major aura and swagger. Hard to describe but you just know you're at a very important place but that doesn't take itself too seriously. There are burgers that are good, burgers that are great, and then there's Au Cheval. I went in with pretty ridiculous expectations considering this place has been called one of the best burger spots in the world...and somehow, the burger still delivered. That's rare. The patties were insanely juicy and perfectly cooked, with that beautiful crispy, caramelized edge you want from a great griddle burger. The combination of the melted cheese, creamy sauce, onions, pickles and that ridiculously buttery brioche bun was borderline unfair. Rich, messy, salty, savory and completely indulgent in the best possible way. And that bun deserves its own mention. Soft enough to absorb all that glorious burger juice without completely falling apart. The whole thing is constructed like someone actually understands what makes a burger great. Is it the best burger I've ever had? I DONT FUCKING KNOW. but I completely understand why people put Au Cheval in the conversation for best burger in America, if not the world. The hype is real. This is a fucking burger. 9.7/10

There is outdoor seating under a pergola lined with semi-private planters, while the inside features a bar, high tops, low tops, and large booths. The music was upbeat, giving the space an elevated lounge vibe that pairs really well with the upholstered booths and vintage industrial design. I ordered the Wolf Burger, which is a whopping three-patty burger. That first bite was juicy and pure bliss--a total explosion of great flavors. It was a little messy (like all burgers with an egg), but the extra liquid was perfect for balancing the density of such a meaty burger. The soft bun soaked in a lot of those juices with each bite, intensifying the flavor as I ate more. The fries were thin and on the greasier side--not my personal favorite, but they worked alright as a vehicle for the sauce. Speaking of which, the chili aioli served with the fries was fantastic. We also got the mac and cheese, which hit a great balance between rich and creamy without feeling excessively wet. The boat it came in was a bit small, making it a little messy to scoop out with the serving spoon, but it was soooo good. Overall, it is absolutely a fantastic neighborhood place for comfort food and drinks with friends in a great space!
