Justin LisenbyMay 24, 2018One of the best burgers and fries I’ve ever had. Fry portion is huge and they are perfectly cooked. I got a gluten free bun. Seriously, one of my favorite burgers anywhere.
Chicago TribuneJuly 26, 2016A medium burger here means rosy pink in the middle and juicy, a wonderful bite. Throw on some grilled onions and smoked Gouda cheese, and be transported to umami heaven. Read more
Don't be fooled by the small hole-in-the-wall appearance, this is one of the best burger joints in the country. The Chicago BBQ burger alone is reason to come here.
Psychic SoulfullOctober 13, 2021I just love the fact that you can order your own custom burger as well as different prearranged burgers so if you’re feeling adventurous- do be sure to customize your own burger.
Fantastic burger joint! Live the wildburger patties. The wildfries are to die for & the southwest stuffed avocado is pretty tasty, too. So far my fave burger is the Chicago BBQ.- John WildesSeptember 7, 2017Custom burgers and awesome fries. Better than any of the big burger chains you'll find in the area.
Chris AlbrechtSeptember 23, 2019I’d never heard of a kale veggie patty before, but it was actually really good. Great place to stop before heading to the airport, too.- Matt LarsonNovember 11, 2013If you order the following your evening is going to be awesome: Oogave mandarine key lime organic soda, Cajun fries, and big breakfast signature burger.
- Glad to see they expanded next door, so much more room to dine in now!
- Vicky OlenskiAugust 29, 2015Excellent burgers! Highly recommended. Had the Memphis and Philly burgers along with Cajun fries. Yummmm!!!!
Jamarr BuchananSeptember 27, 2013The Wildburger is pretty darn good & worthy of its namesake. It was what I was hoping for in a 3 meat burger. The reg. fries are ok, nothing to write home about but not bad either, free with check-in.
Gordan RedzicJune 3, 2016No true seating area (only 5 spaces) and its really hot but the burger was good even after a take out.
