13 Best Burger Restaurants in Evanston

“I got 2 farmhouse beef burgers and 1 chicken burger that had spicy honey in it. I loved the food. There was some misunderstanding in the packing of order. I came back and they corrected it right away. Also gave me $5 coupon for future. And when I mentioned i was fasting, they offered me a cookie too.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I tried this place for the first time earlier this week and had a really great experience 🍔😋. I ordered their classic burger with a side of fries, and both were super tasty- simple but done really well 👌🔥. The portion was satisfying, and everything came out fresh and flavorful.

What also impressed me was the price adding a soda still kept the total just a little over $10, which feels like a great deal these days 💸👍. On top of that, the people working there were genuinely kind and welcoming, which made the visit even better 😊🙌. Overall, it left a really positive impression, and I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“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“

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

“Stopped by around 10pm just to grab a quick milkshake, and the place was pretty empty at the time. I expected it to be fast since I only ordered a simple shake, but it ended up taking over 10 minutes to get it. The staff didn’t seem overwhelmed, so the pace felt a bit slow for such a small order 🤔. The shake itself was fine, but the wait was longer than expected, especially late at night when there weren’t many customers. Overall, the experience wasn’t terrible, just slower than it probably should have been. Hopefully service is quicker next time ⏳🥤“

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