    Bacon burger and cajun fries
    Amy H.

    Despite being a big burger fan, I had never had Five Guys before and decided to give it a go last night. I ordered delivery through Amazon Restaurants because I had a promo code for a discount. 15 minutes later, I got a text message saying they cancelled my order. I was not happy about this but had already hyped myself up for the burger, so I ordered delivery again, this time through Postmates... and they didn't cancel the order this time, which made me think that they cancelled the first order because they were bitter that I got a discount. The food was pretty good. I got a bacon burger and added lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, and BBQ sauce. The double patties were nice and juicy, and the burger was definitely what I was craving on this late night: pretty greasy with generous amount of sauces. I also got an order of cajun fries, which were a little soggy and greasy (the paper bag and napkins were drenched in grease) but had okay flavors, although I'm not sure it was worth $5. My accomplishment of the night was that I can now say I've had Five Guys. The customer service could be better, and I thought the fries were a waste of money, but the burger was pretty good.

    Those are some serious (bacon) shakes...

    Here's what you need to know: mediocre and overpriced burgers. Fries are good, only when fresh out of the fryer. 5 guys WAS all the rage when they were new and cheap and only catered to untapped small markets. This is a classic example of a very well marketed mediocre franchise, which is all hype. The cheeseburger is $9 and just meh - Meat quality is good for a chain, but under seasoned and certainly not "crispy outside soft inside" as they will have you believe. The Cheese is mediocre and the mushrooms are bland and slimy. The food takes about 7-10 minutes with no line (as in literally zero people ahead of you). Every 2 years I get swept up in the hype and go back to 5 guys but alas, have never had a good experience. I would not recommend going to 5 guys in Chicagoland which has some of the best burger places in the nation.

    LITTLE Bacon Cheeseburger and Fry
    Belle L.

    $10 satisfying meal. Decent ingredients. Excellent portion and price. Supports privately owned small potato farms. LITTLE BACON CHEESEBURGER ($6.69) -- I like the option of grilled onion and mushroom as they are my faves. Single patty in perfect temp. NOT as juicy as advertised [I didn't feel The Lard, lol]. BACON was perfectly crisp and seasoned. LITTLE FRY ($3.09) -- real potato? Yay! Good seasoning. VENUE -- clean, organized, plenty of seating, and comfy. SERVICE -- Kevin has a good sense of humor by indulging me in deciding add-in ingredients.

This is the sister chain restaurant to Au Cheval, and I decided to try it on my last trip to Chicago. So glad someone told me this place existed. I loved Au Cheval when I went years ago, but we waited 3 hours (for the best burger of my life), but probably would never wait that long again. Their classic double cheeseburger was only $11 and came out super quickly. The meat was seasoned so well, was juicy, and the combo of sauce, cheese, meat, lettuce was perfect. I don't usually love pickles or grilled onions, but I wanted to leave those on to eat the burger how it was intended. I think I added lettuce but no charge. We also got fries which might've been a mistake because I thought they were separate, but they were just ok. Burger was served hot, fries were lukewarm. Chicken tenders were ok but nothing too special or different. Cookies and cream milkshake was delicious, like drinking ice cream. Fast, friendly service, inexpensive but most importantly delicious! Would recommend. The place is small but a great location by the river, and there were tables around the side with a view of the river.

I would have liked to try the concrete to get more oreo flavor and chunks, maybe next time! the burger was tasty, but didn't like the bacon all too much. it had an extremely beefy taste that overpowered the taste of the burger. toward the final pieces of the burger, it tasted dry and heavy, especially considering how thick the bread is. the fries were decent, but lacked crisp and salt. definitely happy i tried this place but not sure if I'd go back!

The real highlight for me, though, was the chocolate cake -- incredibly soft, rich, chocolatey, and moist. It was the perfect dessert after dinner. The restaurant itself is super cool and full of old Chicago memorabilia and vintage items that make the place feel unique and fun to explore. If you're visiting town, it's worth stopping by just for the atmosphere alone. They also have a huge food selection and a full bar, so there's something for everyone. The service was great, and despite how busy the place can get, they have plenty of lines for self-service and ordering at the counter, which keeps things moving smoothly. Overall, a really fun spot to grab food while visiting Chicago.

The atmosphere, history, and overall hype surrounding it definitely add to the experience. However, in my personal opinion, the ambience and reputation outweighed the actual quality of the food! I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich combo along with a classic hot dog. The customer service itself was actually very nice and prompt. The cashier helping me was friendly enough to let me sample their spicy chipotle-style sauce/spread that comes with the chicken sandwich, and honestly, that sauce was delicious. That said, I have to admit the hot dog itself was pretty underwhelming. I know Chicago-style hot dogs are iconic, but I personally felt like I've had better-tasting hot dogs from a Dodger Dog or even Costco. The relish here tasted oddly artificial to me -- almost like a strange paste consistency that I just couldn't get into. Maybe it's just my Los Angeles taste buds talking, but honestly, some of the best hot dogs I've had are from the street vendors off Hollywood Boulevard with the grilled onions, bell peppers, mustard, mayo, ketchup... you know exactly the kind I'm talking about!! Overall, I'd still recommend trying this place at least once simply because it's such a well-known Chicago institution, but for me personally, the food didn't fully live up to the hype.....

The Lobster Rolls come with chips and a drink - the chips were great for dipping into the Clam Chowder Soup that you can order if you wish to make it a combo. And the soup itself was sooo soothing and yummy - I loved how creamy and rich it tasted without being too heavy. Everything is freshly prepared after ordering, but it still wasn't much of a wait at all to have everything come out and service in general was very efficient and friendly. The space is very intimate, cozy, and warm inside, with some Cape Cod/Lobster themed portraits on the walls and string lights providing a lovely glow. Luke's Lobster has their thing and they do their thing flawlessly - getting a Lobster Roll with Clam Chowder Soup here is ALWAYS a good move.

They have won several awards for their sandwiches and are said to have the best Italian Beef in Chicago. With all this being said, this was certainly a must eat on my trip! Their menu consists of their famous Italian beef, along with Chicago dogs, burgers, sausage sandwiches, chicken, and fries. There is definitely something for everyone here. The inside is casual and reminiscent of a fast food eatery. Really liked the yellow accents throughout the restaurant. I will also note that it was extremely clean inside, which is always appreciated. Ordering is simple and they will call your ticket number when your food is ready. All the food is served made to order and very fresh and doesn't take too long to come out! I ordered the Regular Beef, wet, with both hot and spicy peppers per the workers suggestion. Ordering the sandwich wet simply means the bread is dunked in the gravy/aus jus. If you want the real deal, this is how you order it. The peppers are optional as well, but complete the sandwich. The sandwich consists of their famous Italian beef roasted and sliced, served on freshly baked French bread. I can see why this sandwich is so highly regarded. The Italian beef that is made in house each day is tender, flavorful, and just perfect! It isn't chewy or tough either. The sweet and spicy peppers paired nicely with the savory beef. And the fresh French bread covered in the gravy--phenomenal! The gravy adds a lot of flavor to the sandwich. You do have to eat it quickly, otherwise the bread will fall apart, oh but it is so worth it. I got fries with a side of cheese sauce to go with the sandwich. By far some of the best fries I've had. Not super crispy, but not soggy either, the texture was just right. They were salted perfectly and dipping them in their velvety cheese sauce was a treat! A regular sub is roughly 6 inches and quite filling. The sandwiches are stuffed with ample amounts of beef. The price is also excellent considering how much you get. Overall, I would say Al's Beef lived up to all its praise. My sandwich was very memorable and was like nothing I'd had before. Everything is so fresh, between their beef, bread, and fries, it is all made in house. This isn't just some fast food spot, it is an institution. I was impressed with everything I ordered, especially the fries. They take a lot of pride in what they serve. This is evident in their customer service. If you are visiting Chicago, don't think, just go--you won't regret it!

Kinda skimpy on the fixings on the Chicago dog, but still gets the job done if you're craving a Chicago dog.

Super friendly lady at the cashier (all smiles, patient, and offered menu help)! Also fast service (got my order within a few minutes). I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was very chill here (also shoutout to the early 2000's era music playing :p it was a vibe). Overall I'd say it's not a bad food spot at all if you want a quick bite and want to be a little away from the Magnificent Mile crowds.
