Holy damn, this place is great! Great service, great food, spicy wings, and sustainability front and center. The guy behind the counter was really friendly and helpful with the menu. My compliments to him first and foremost. I came with a coworker while in town for a conference. We had burgers, fries, and wings -- real comfort food for a super cold day. He loved his burger, and my buffalo chicken burger was excellent. The bread was fresh and tasty, the burger saucy, and the cheese/celery filler was complimentary to the rest of it. I really like food like this that is indulging flavors regardless of trendy presentation. Get the wings while you're here. They're big and juicy with delicious sauce. I recommend asking for an extra side of sauce, because they were not overly tossed. Lastly, my compliments on the fries! We split a large order of the Old Bay fries, and it was a little more than two guys wanted with two burgers and two dozen wings. He packed most of his wings to go, but not me. I obliterated the burger, 12 wings, and at least my share of the fries. I would have preferred a few more dashes of Old Bay, though. read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet. This is a great place near Chinatown, where I live, and it's one of the few places that does a really great burger in this area! Even their veggie burger is delicious. Oh and I've also had their wings and the only thing that sucks about that is that they don't sell beer! Oh and and and I ALWAYS get those fresh fries with everything. Those fries bring me back to my childhood! Yesterday, I got dinner there and when I arrived to pick up my food (no dine-in yet due to the pandemic) there was a sign on the door that said they were a black owned business. I've never felt happier to support a place that not only has amazing food but also has friendly and GREAT service (literally) every time! read more

Food is fresh and hot and on point all the time. Chili and burgers always good, customer service always decent

Cool location, workers seem decent for the most part. Ordered wings and fries. Probably the worst wings I've had in Chicago. Rubbery barely sauced up wings, stomach in knots for hours after consuming this food. Wouldn't recommend anyone go here for wings, maybe the burgers are different, must be my fault for trying chicken at a place called The Burger Point. 1 star because the fries were halfway decent. read more

Really great burger place in the South Loop. When I went in last night, I noticed they also had wings on their menu (with a handful of flavors). I really couldn't decide on which burger I wanted, but in the end I got the "west coast" Ashman. Side note: special sauce is a thousand-island like dressing which is reminiscent of In 'N Outs secret sauce - I'm thinking maybe this burger was modeled after the double double. The place isn't fancy by any means (in terms of servers and all of that). Tables and two-tops fill the brightly lit restaurant (kind of reminds me of Five Guys). Really nice employees here, one of which (who took my order) walked by while I was eating and asked how everything was. read more

If you're looking for like burger kingdom, go to the burger point! Got the delicious blue cheese Frenchie burger with bacon and it was perfectly prepared from top to bottom, seasoned & ready hot on arrival! Every savory juicy bite reminded me of Paris even fancy spots like Le Bonaparte. Super friendly & professional staff makes this a press repeat place! read more

Went here for my first time last night. I will be back again for sure. The guy working the register/taking the orders was super cool and really nice. I think he may be the owner, but I'm not sure. Anyway, their burgers and fries are delicious. They have gluten free buns! Yum. Their menu is amazing- there were so many things I wanted to try. Once you order at the counter, have a seat at a table of your choice, and an employee will bring you your food. The owner (I believe) stopped by every table to ask how everything was. Pretty awesome for a fast food joint! Let it be known, however, based on the quality, this place is above and beyond your standard fast food establishment. If you haven't been there, GO! read more

The Burger Point - Cheese burger on a gluten free bun, and fries. YUM. - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

In a nutshell, I just wasn't satisfied with the meal, especially with all of the other burger places in Chicago that are competing for my Abe Lincoln's. I mean, I know I was full, but I just wanted to devour a scoop of Culver's flavor of the day custard afterwards (... which I did). The staff was extremely friendly and eager to please. You can tell they put a lot of time and care into preparing your food. I ordered a shroom burger (and was kindly informed they ran out of brie, so it just had swiss on it) and a side of sweet potato fries. The burger was a little dry and ordinary, and I wished the fries were thicker cut and crispier (but I still ate them all). BP is the most hoppin' place in this neck of the woods. Good luck finding street parking! read more

This was a first time I've been to this place. I've live not too far from it and always pass by it. I didn't really look into their menu assume it's all beef since I'm pesco pollo vegetarian. My feeling got me to yelling this place because I've been craving for a good juicy burger and don't know any other place. Saw their menu I was drooling. They have unique burger and not all are beef their are turkey and chicken and a full vegetarian. I was delightful and went in order myself a Saigon Jonny burger with truffle salt fries. read more

Horrible!!! The delivery took forever and when it finally arrived, more than half of the order was not delivered and what was delivered was ice cold!!! Not sure how they could have screwed this up more. I guess we should be thankful that a racial slur was not included with our order. Signedpissed off and hungry read more

Awesome service. Great owner. And the BEST wings on the planet earth (BBQ honey mustard). Nothing like em.

Great food - great staff Been coming here for almost 10 years! I am a huge fan of their veggie burger and the vegetarian chili. read more

Finally came around to trying Burger Point! Service can be a bit slow but it was no biggie. My friend and I each ordered a burger with an order of fries and drink; it came out to approximately $12 per person. It's not exactly cheap considering you can also get a burger at the nearby McD's for half the price. BUT, BP serves their burgers with grass-fed patties. That's quality for you health-conscience foodies out there! I had the six ounce gobbler. It may not sound like a lot but that food baby dragged me home and knocked me out cold on the couch for a good two hours. The burger was a pile of turkey patty, Philly cream cheese and cranberry reduction sitting atop a 100% whole wheat roll. It sounds oh-so-healthy as it slaps mounds of calories onto your diet. Mmm...waters my mouth as I recall the burger... Basically, if you enjoy Thanksgiving/turkey dinners, you would enjoy this burger. And while you're at it, it won't hurt anymore to get the combo with fries! Although I wish the fries wouldn't be so thin and stringy. read more

Was in town at the convention center and looking for a good burger. This place was outstanding. Great burger and the fries were incredible. I love the metal bowl they serve the fries in.

We were looking for something within walking distance of McCormick Place that offered something for every member of the family, and I'm so happy we found The Burger Point! The staff was helpful and friendly, and the food was excellent. My husband said the chicken sandwich rivaled the one Bon Appetit named the best in the country, and the hot dog may have been the best I've ever had. read more

Had just watched the Bears game and was extremely hungry. Was recommended by someone to try the place. Since it was within walking distance from the Stadium, I figured we'd try it. Food took a little long to come out (not excessive), but was well worth the wait. Great burgers and dogs on the menu. read more

Lovely little burger joint in Chicago. Prices are decent, you can customize your meal how you want it, and you can watch your food being made too. Well-decorated interior with enough space between tables to not feel stifling. PROS: -Love that you can customize your own burger. I'm not a huge "gourmet, tons of toppings" kind of person, and I like getting a regular, boring burger - without being charged an arm and a leg for it. This place does a fantastic job at that. Plus, with all of the patties being made to order, you can choose how you'd like your meat done as well. -Staff was super-duper friendly. Despite being consistently busy, the cashier checked in on us and made sure our food tasted like we expected. He even wished us a good day when we were walking out the door. Very friendly guy. -Spicy ketchup (with regular ketchup still available) is a nice touch. -All toppings tasted fresh. -Decent amount of interior seating with enough space between tables to not feel too crowded. There are also benches for waiting for to-go orders or waiting for the rest of your party to show up. Bathrooms are clean. -Pretty fast service. We were in and out within 30 minutes. CONS: -Not a huge fan of the shoestring fries. Fries are on the crunchier side. read more

Burgers were very good / loved that they will cook and dress them in so many different ways. Friendly counter service.

The food was delicious. The service was great. There was indoor seating and air conditioning on a really hot day.

For a restaurant to have the title "burger"in it, I would have expected exceptional burgers, but unfortunately it fell far short of my expectation. I had the 6oz burger point burger and my friend had a 12 oz savage burger and we shared sweet potato fries. The size difference between the burgers was that larger one had two patties. The burgers were made on the spot which was respectable but there were just too many flaws: - The wait was long given that we were the first ones there and to order. - There burgers were also overdone and dry. I felt like I was just chewing meat, there was barely any seasoning. - The cheese on the burger had melted and condensed. There was no stringyness to it. - Burgers were a bit greasy and felt heavy afterwards - The sweet potato fries were also made fresh but were also very greasy. The only thing I really enjoyed was the spicy ketchup condiment to help mask the flavor of unseasoned meat. read more

The food is very good, but don't order from them unless you are going to pick it up yourself. I don't know why a restaurant that doesn't have drivers would advertise for delivery. When the delivery is fresh, the food is good. But I've gotten ice cold burgers twice. That happens with the delivery is an hour late. They can't tell you when your order is going to be delivered because the driver doesn't work for them, but they have charged you $5.50 for a delivery fee. read more

love the burgers and the fries and the cookie. Hell its all good except I was eating my French fries and I'm not the kind of woman to waste food so usually eat every last one and lock the bag, however the last order I had was so salty, I could t finish my fries. The salt was so intense I felt my blood pressure rise and then I got mad cause I had to throw the rest away... which made my pressure rise even more. Hold some of that salt please read more

Came here while on vacation because of a friend's recommendation. Me and my wife tried the cheeseburger cooked medium with several toppings, the fries with sea salt, the chili cheesedog and a special hotdog called the Spanish Revolution per recommendation of the owner Michael. The burger with just cheese that was hanging off the bun was simply delicious on its own and gave me a chance to notice the high quality meat they use. The chili cheesedog was tasty and huge. Finally, let's get down to business and talk about the Spanish Revolution hotdog. Oh....my goodness. Huge, hanging off the bun, wrapped in crispy bacon, and (the special part) topped with a jalapeño relish and a light ranch mayo/sauce. These two toppings really make the hotdog. We should have ordered two of these because I did not want to share lol. The service here was noticeably impressive. While we were sitting we noticed the owner was super friendly, talked to every table, and helped a guest try to remember what sauce she had on her burger during her previous visit because she couldn't describe it and only remembered the color. We were laughing and so was the guest because he brought her out a sample of every sauce until she finally recalled the flavor she was looking for. She really appreciated it. Will definitely come back the next time we are in town. read more

While the food itself may hit the spot, customer service is a "HUGE" key component to whether or not I return to your spot. I went in yesterday for the free burger that is offered when you sign up for the birthday club. The guy at the register was not the friendliest sort. Didn't make me feel welcomed, and was short and clipped. No pleasantries when I expressed it was my birthday (not that everyone cares about your birthday), however if people sign up to for your birthday acknowledgement and they come in and tell you its their birthday, I would think as a representative of the establishment, you would wish the birthday patron well. Nonetheless, the burger was good, however, unless customer service becomes more appealing, I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Im so happy that this place was recommended to us. I built my own burger, it was juicy and absolutely delicious. Wonderful skin on crispy French fries. I will definitely be back and it will be soon. Outstanding friendly service!! read more

The burgers here are always so juicy and delicious. You cannot go wrong. The staff is so friendly every time!

Our First Order: I had the create your own burger and shared an order of large truffle salt fries. My friend ordered the gluten free create your own burger. The Fries: I enjoyed my fries. I got a side of their spicy aioli to dip the truffle salt fries in. It's yummy and adds more to the fries. I would love those fries with a rosemary Parmesan topping, but that was just a random thought I had while devouring them. The Burger: We were told by the gentleman taking our order that the standard is "Medium Well." We went with that, but our burgers were both well done; there was no pink center at all. It was a bit in the dry side. A restaurant that is exclusively a burger joint can't mess up their burgers in my opinion. The thing that saved it was the condiments I ordered. Spicy aioli and mayo, I think is what I had. It had some banging flavor with the condiments, but would have been "send this back" dry without it. I'm hoping that was a fluke and not the norm. I am gonna give them another shot and I will follow up. I enjoyed my Pretzel Bun. The GF bun will crumble in your hands. We were forewarned if this happen. So it was not a surprise, but it literally could not be eaten as a burger. You have to put it down and cut it because it will be in pieces. My friend with celiac said it tasted fine though. It needs work, but kudos for offering a GF option, even if it's a hot mess. The Staff: My favorite part of the experience was the owner, Michael. He was there assisting, helping, taking orders, delivering them, checking in on his customers, etc. I appreciate this type of hands-on approach to business, as it's my approach as well; he's a keeper. I saw him interact with all his customers, and they all seemed to love him or know him. He is gonna be a big reason people go back. The staff were all friendly. Huge fan of Michael and the service, and hoping for more the second trip back with the burgers. I'm sure I will update this review after round two. ********************* UPDATE: Round two I went back to give them a second chance to get it right. The burger was cooked well done again. Sigh! I took pictures of it so you could see it was brown throughout...yet again. A burger joint should know that no one wants a well done burger, unless they ask for it. Additionally, if I order a medium well burger, they should know how to do that. They don't. :( Underwhelmed. Unimpressed. You basically need lots of condiments to add flavor and make it less dry. If they ever get this right, their rating would go up, but they earned a 3 as is. read more

Sometimes you just need a burger. That was my situation last week, and thankfully burger point is not too far from me. I placed an order online and went in for pickup 30 or so minutes later. I ordered a three-piece wing combo (bbq honey mustard sauce) and an Ashman burger that came with literally an entire bucket of fries. Okay, not a literal bucket but there were a lot of fries. The food was really good, so good that I did not take any pictures. As others have noted, everything was also well packaged so it didn't get sloppy on my way home. read more

I realllllllllly wanted to love this place and I just didn't. After the first time was a disaster I thought I would try it again after some comments I gave to the manager on duty. It just wasn't good. Perhaps it is hit and miss and I'm just missing? The burgers were over cooked horribly both times, fries were salted beyond belief and the sauce on the wings was beyond hot despite asking for mild. I wish they'd use lettuce. Heck at least offer lettuce. The LAX burger is supposed to mimic In n Out Burger but the weird spinach greens throw the whole thing off. How can a place whose claim to fame is burgers not manage to cook them to the desired temperature? read more

This is my neighborhood wings spot and I stop in often. Get the Baltimore style (dry rub) and ask for sauce on the side. Favorite sauce is the Habañero Mustard -- good balance of spice and flavor -- but there's about a dozen options and they are all good. They'll even give you some Hawaiian rolls, free of charge, on the side if you ask. I usually get the sweet potato fries as well with cinnamon and sugar. The burgers are excellent too (hence the name of the place) but I usually stop in for the wings. BYOB read more

This place is seriously good. I've ordered the wings with Hot Garlic sauce and Ghost of 3 Mile Island sauce twice and it has not disappointed. Their Ghost of 3 Mile Island is really hot and tasty. But for something more bearable, go for the Hot Garlic sauce. The food may take some time to prepare but it is cooked to order. If you prefer delivery, look for them on grubhub. This is my second favorite wings place in the Chicago Southside, though Burger Point is certainly known for other amazing food items... like their burgers! I am certainly planning on coming back here to try their burgers and truffle fries. read more
