11 Best Burger Restaurants in Elgin

“Tonight I decided to venture out and try this restaurant my family has been RAVING about called Al’s Cafe in Downtown Elgin! I sat upstairs and had this lovely server named Marcie! She recommended the monthly special called “Moonstruck” and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The ambience, service and food is unmatched! If you are looking for a great night out I highly recommend Al’s Cafe!“

“I hardly believe this, but I left today and they forgot to include my coleslaw. I got home and called to mention it. I was told they'd bring the coleslaws to me. I thought it was a joke, like doctors making house calls. Sure enough, they came to my door with the coleslaws, an extra, and a pint of blueberry cheesecake. Unbelievable! I've gone there since they opened. Now I won't go anywhere else. Caring about customers isn't lost! Wonderful people!“

“One of the best Italian beef sandwiches I’ve ever had. Service was extremely fast and friendly and we got our food within minutes.“

“If there's one bartender who always knows how to get your drink just right, it's Brittnee. With her warm and welcoming personality, she makes you feel like you're right at home as soon as you step up to the bar. Not only is she a master at crafting the perfect cocktail, but she always brings a smile to your face with her witty banter and infectious laugh. Brittnee is truly one of a kind and has an undeniable gift for making your night out an unforgettable experience.“

“I've never had a bad experience at Portillo's. I brought my Mom here from California. She was surprised at how inexpensive it was.
She had a hotdog with fries and I had a cheesy beef.

One thing we learned... while they do have gluten free separate fryer... ALL the oil from ALL the fryers goes through the SAME filtration system, which CONTAMINATES the oil! So people with celiac disease may be glutened!
My sister had to take my nieces to Chic fil a.“

“mmmm... mm.. so glad to have the privilege of residing at the home sweet home of the cheesy beef! The manager was super-duper-nice and the burger was super-duper-licious !! My son (shown in picture below) felt so inspired by this experience, he told me he wants to be a cheesy beef when he grows up! Well, you know what they say - like father like son!“

“Finally. After all this time, I finally found them. THE PERFECT FRIES. Your search can be over too of you come to beef shack.

They were pretty busy when I went but very friendly, clean, and dang they are slinging some great food.“

“I had the Beast double combo, added bacon , extra cheese and lettuce. I have to say, the burger was pretty good. I wish it had a little more sauce and mayo but it was really good. It's up there in price but you do get full. I would like if they had more advertising or anything to let you know it's a ghost menu. I drove around a few times because it was a pizza joint and couldn't see any signs of Mr beast burgers. I will be back but I hope Mr beast makes these adjustments.“

“Very good meal and extremely attentive service. We had the 2 for $32 Bourbon street chicken and shrimp. It had a good flavor and the chicken was very tender. The carafe of Tito's strawberry lemonade was tasty and was a good value. I enjoyed the tomato basil soup as well.“

“This location never disappoints. They have never made a mistake on my order. The food is always fresh the staff is always friendly.
Also, it's an really an economic menu for breakfast and lunch.
Its really underrated.“

“I go to this location once or twice a week. Normally well managed and efficient. But it has some hiccups. Going out in a snow storm today, I was distracted and didn’t realize I was shorted my frosty for son in mobile app order after waiting 8 minutes for tenders. The tenders were slightly undercooked and chewy besides not getting proper order. This is normally well run but not today. And they make it impossible to make a complaint online after you fill all the information in with receipt and location #. It eventually falls into McEvil territory and won’t even consider.“
