Busy burger is a trendy-looking burger restaurant on the UIC campus...And thats about it. After eating here I was only just satisfied, nothing more. I ordered a burger and a chocolate milkshake. The burger had a regular sized patty, but it was inconsistent in its thickness (some bites were larger than others) Im not sure if this was just my burger or not. The patty tasted similar to a burger from Buffalo Wild Wings, (it tasted good, but not fantastic). The bun jowever was absolutely fantastic, one of my favorite burger buns ever: slightly crispy on the bottom and big enough to cover the patty (some buns slide off or disappear while eating the burger...Its hard to explain but Im sure you know what I mean; this bun did not do that). The chocolate shake was far too thick and took a while to drink. It also tasted like chocolate ice cream (not very milky, quite rich) It was as if the milkshake was just ice cream scooped into a cup. It tasted similar to a chocolate shake from Shake Dhack, which I also dont care for (too rich for me, I prefer a more milky shake (like Culvers)). Overall the burger was decent and the shake was rich and thick. Overall: 8/12

Went here for lunch. Food is good... kinda of a pricey lunch meal $11, but customer service is lacking. They had a construction worker drilling working on the place, LOUD as HELL!! Cant even hear yourself think let alone talk to the other person across from you. On top of that no warning or sorry that this was disturbing!! us while we are trying to eat and enjoy our lunch break... they just shrugged their shoulders as in "Oh Well, deal with it" But on the other hand they can take your money!!! Learn to have consideration for your customers... Im sure this could have taken place after hours or early morning hours not dead in the middle of LUNCH HOURS!!! #RUDE

Meh...its ok. Cashier looked like she wanted to be anywhere else. Was our first time there but just the way the girl took my order made me decide to never come back and we didnt even eat our food yet. Is that it...is that it...is that it...is that it after every single item before I had time to ask for the next item. Will that complete your order...how hard is that. She was young but, first impressions mean a lot to me [to anyone] especially in the service industry. As for the food my husband ordered the cheeseburger and I ordered the the chicken sandwich with bacon. My husband said his was ok but nothing special and mine was dry especially around the edges.

A pretty decent burger - at a price. I would probably recommend one of the stuffed burgers, as the single patty one I ordered was only "ok". The sauce they add is certainly tasty, and surprisingly spicy, but it overpowers many of the other flavors in my opinion. Again, I think Id have better luck with a different burger. The fries are fresh cut I believe, which is always nice to see. Not a lot of seasoning leaves them a bit forgettable, but again, that could just be personal taste. If I come back and my wallet is a little... larger, Ill try a stuffed burger and their shakes. Until then, 3 stars.

-5 stars. I literally had the worst Experience with this place. I order two hot dogs for delivery as The Cubs game was about to start. They said it would come in an hour, that was fine. Four hours passed by, I was hungry and getting mad. My food never arrived, so I called busy burger. They said it was out for delivery they called me but had my wrong number. Which I gave to them the correct number very easy to understand. They canceled my order. And didnt even apologize for making me wait four hours and never even getting my food. So shity!

I was very unsatisfied. I think the hype off of being on Chicagos Best got me to check this place out. Got the stuffed beef sandwich w fries and drink costing $16. Waited for my burger for 20 minutes which is not an exaggeration. Could have even been longer only to receive my burger cold and pink in the middle. Although i liked medium burgers like from kumas i ate it like that only to find myself with a stomach ate about 30 minutes after eating. I am upset because of the price and a cold burger to be served.

Food was delicious. Got a double busy burger with grilled onions. Food was cooked fresh to order. Nice and hot. It had all the good flavors that you would expect from a quality burger with little grease. Fries were great too! Havent tried the shakes yet but Ive heard good things about them. IMPORTANT: BE CAREFUL WITH PARKING Car booters love sitting around the busy burger block, especially by the bank. If you slip up on parking your car in a non-designated spot you will get booted and robbed $140.

This was the third time I ordered from this place and the second time they forget my drink!!! I called to let them know and all I get is a morron on the phone doing nothing to resolve the situation but being a samart ass about it and gave attitude! How hard is it to make sure the order is COMPLETE!!!!!! Specially after you guys messed up the first time OVERALL A REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR "customer service" WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN

Its not a terrible spot for a quick bite and as far as college crowd food goes, its not bad. That said, I would not go out of my way to come here. The burger had too many flavors going on, it was spicy, then tasted like charcoal, and then tasted kind of bland. The fries were bland, adding a dash of salt helped though. Ill probably come back here again when Im in the area. However there are better fast casual burger places in the area.

This is the best burger in Chicago hands down. Meat is delicious, smells, and tastes like grill, and the ingredients are always fresh. Ive been waiting for couple of months since Ive discovered it to review this place. Its been consistently great, always tasted the same, never disappointed. Their spicy sauce adds greatness to the burger! Their fries could be better, but burger is absolutely worth five stars.

Good prices for decent food. Burgers are flame cooked, fries are fresh cut and delish, onion rings were good, hot dog was a great price @ 2.50 including fries. Service wasnt bad but they werent overly friendly either, just doing their job. Tight seating and the dining room was hot on a 90° day but still cooler than sitting outside.

It is in a beautiful neighborhood and with tons of nearby restaurants, youd think it would be another "good" burger. It was actually a fantastic burger and the cheese fries are AMAZING! I highly recommend this place however if youre with a large group, theres not a lot of group seating at all.

The employees are insanely rude to customers! Also the wait time is very long 15-20 min an order. The fries are also always stale. For the quality of food you get, just go to Maxwell St, and pay half price! I cannot stress the rudeness of the employees enough! Total jackasses!

Lots of hype, little else. Basic burgers nothing special. Their special sauce is just 1000 Island with some spice. Go to Jims or Express Grill just a 15 min walk away for better burgers. Or better yet check out some of the great Thai food on Taylor St.
