    “Excellent smash burgers. My husband had the spicy triple and I had the original double smash burger. My husband also wanted to try the chopped cheese which was also excellent. Nice and spicy. The bread was very good as well on both, it did not overwhelm the meat. My only critique would be a touch more salt(but maybe that's just me), other than that I can't complain. Maybe they will offer flying Dutchman style burgers in the future? We both agreed we would be back again when we're in the area.”

    “****A cut above the rest. -Great and consistent food -genuinely attentive and warm service making you feel right at home. Many ingredients are organic—not because it’s a selling point, but simply because that’s how they do things. The flavors feel more like homemade Greek cooking than typical restaurant fare.”

    “We went with our Burger Club to Lucky Burgers (a.k.a. Jelly Cafe after dark or 4pm, whichever comes first). Jelly Cafe is a breakfast and lunch place open 7am until 2pm. Then they switch over to Lucky Burgers which is open from 4pm until no one is there and they want to go home. Though technically I think they’re open until 8 or 9pm. There are a handful of items on the Lucky Burgers’ menu: about 5 variations of their classic burger, a chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, and waffle fries. When we went, the place was empty and never got busy. Which opened the door for one of the owners, Scott, to regale us with tales of days gone by from his childhood in Evanston and the famous people he knew, grew up with, and worked with. It was nice hearing these stories and it was nice to give Scott something and somebodies to talk to as well. The place has a large parking lot and is nice and clean on the inside. There is a tiny area with slot machines and a small bar/counter at the entrance. The burgers are all smashburgers. They come as singles or double patties. Go for the double as there’s not a whole lot of meat once they’re smashed. The differences are the toppings. Scott recommends their housemade dijonaise sauce which is good, but ask for it on the side. The cook slathers it on the burger and that’s all you can taste. Once I scooped (you read that correctly) the sauce off my burger, it was a pretty good burger. The meat is seasoned well and cooked nicely and the bun holds up (despite dripping in dijonaise). We all shared the chicken tenders as an appetizer. Five nice sized tenders come in the meal and you can choose your dipping sauce. Scott recommended their honey mustard which was very good and the ranch wasn’t bad either. He is also johnny-on-the-spot to refill fill your drinks. I seriously thought that I would float away. The best part is the price. All said and done for a burger, waffle fries, and a soda, with tax and tip is like $15-$18 bucks. It’s a nice place that I need to go back to and visit for the Jelly Cafe side. AND return for their burgers, tenders, and more of Scott’s stories.”

    “I tried Chigger's for the first time today and had the Polish Sausage sandwich with extra onions...the only way I think it should be eaten. The Polish was good, service was fast, typical run down hot dog joint atmosphere with typical red baskets. My only beef is that the carry out menu DOESN'T HAVE PRICES...SO WHAT GOOD IS THE MENU?!?”

    “I want to share an experience we had tonight that truly touched our family. For some background, I have a 7-year-old autistic son who struggles with behavior at school. Today, we found out that he had been selected as Student of the Week! As a reward, he got to choose where we would have dinner, and one of his favorite places is Burger King. He was especially excited because they currently have toys from one of his favorite shows, Dragon Ball. We ordered our food online, and when we arrived at the restaurant, we found out they were sold out of all of the kids’ meal toys. For many autistic children, letting go of an idea or expectation can be incredibly difficult, especially when it’s something they were really looking forward to. To say my son was disappointed would be an understatement. There were a lot of tears, and I could see how upset he was. I wish I had gotten the employee’s name, because she deserves to be recognized. She noticed how upset my son was and went out of her way to find a Dragon Ball toy somewhere in the restaurant. She then so graciously brought it to him and presented it to him. That small act of kindness meant so much to our family. She completely turned what could have been a very difficult and disappointing experience into something incredibly special. She truly made my son’s night, and I am so thankful that she took the time to notice him, understand what he needed, and go the extra mile to make him smile. People may think it was “just a toy,” but to him and to us, it was so much more than that. ❤ Thank you to the wonderful Burger King employee who reminded us that a little kindness can make a huge difference. I hope her manager sees this and knows what an amazing employee they have.”
