14 Best Burger Restaurants in Evanston

“It has the absolute best food! In the 30+ years we’ve been going for dinner, we’ve never had a bad meal! The Athenian chicken and kabobs are outstanding, along with the Greek fries. Maria, the owner is wonderful! And very accommodating! Definitely need to go here more often! A family favorite for sure!“

“This restaurant is really outstanding and really great for the image of Evanston's southern end. The food is fantastic and I very much enjoy everything from the Bacon Temptation Omelette to the Spicy Poblano Omelette to the Crispy Chicken Sandwich to the Cowboy Burger. All of the food is fabulous and very well prepared, the variety is wonderful, and the coffee is always fresh. And above all, Ivan and the waitstaff provide customer service that's 'above and beyond' in every way. They're very kind, compassionate, efficient, and accomodating to everybody who comes into the establishment. Keep up the great work!“

“This is second time we have eaten here. Family run restaurant the lady manager/cook is very nice. The food is fresh, it comes out in a timely manner. I had a Turkey burger which was very good and my husband had the classic burger. It’s a very roomy restaurant with booths and tables. The prices are reasonable and it’s very convenient. The food is good.“

“My family of four loved our meals! My Thai bowl was super tasty! Fast and friendly service too.“

“I first got introduced to this place circa 1958-59! I doubt it is the same ownership but their hotdogs topped off with sliced tomatoes and celery salt brings back memories of my youth-long ago. I still go there every time I visit Chicago.“

“Made fresh to order. I’ve tried plenty of their menu items and enjoyed everything!“

“Not the best dog or polish in Chicago, but definitely in the top ten. This from someone who has been shoving them into his face for over sixty-five years. I've been to 'em all on the north side - Lerner's, the Ranch,' the Pit, Sammy Skobel's, Wolfy's, Fluky's, Dear Franks', Michaels, Stashes, Mutt and Jeff's, Shmendels, and all of the Irvings. ALL of them. Little Island stands right up there. What they do have that is the best in Cook County are their fries. Best ever. They don't travel well, so have them there. Grilled polish is outstanding. And NEVER, EVER, EVER order a dog or a Polishj with anything red - ketchup OR tomato. Two stars for atmosphere - if that's important to you, go to Portillo's.“

“Y’all: you need to know about this gluten-free crust that is buttery and delicious. And it’s puffy and wonderful!!!! a roasted broccoli is lemony and delicious. My kid had a gluten crust just the regular hand tossed and really enjoyed it and made lots of comments about how delicious their sauce is. I agree!“

“WOW! This is my new favorite place. The food is absolutely phenomenal and it is so fairly priced. I was blown away by the portions and the incredible flavor. I got the 4pc. catfish meal and a banana pudding and I was so impressed. The person working was also incredibly kind and had a lovely personality. I will definitely be back.“

“Dean always makes the visit; but the Wings, Buffalo chips and RC are what always bring us back.“

“Thanks for serving great food! Can’t wait to try out the cheesy grits next time.“

“Got the green onion chicken tenders. They were delicious. Also got the smashed pear drink. It was also great“

“I don't know why my five-star review keeps getting deleted, but steak 'n shake remains the premiere and absolute best value fast food Burger you can get in America. Big Macs are $6, why pay for that when the burgers here are also $6 and cooked with beef Tallow, and grass-fed beef? It's literally highway robbery! Keep this place alive!

(The french fries and milkshakes kind of suck in my opinion though, so this is only for the burgers)“

“Yum, yum food!! 😋😋 Tasty chocolate milkshakes!!“
