The Burger Point

Great location, great people, the best burgers. Sweet potatoe fries get a little soggy but they taste great while fresh. Love this place. I’m there once a week.

Pretty great place to eat at. Nice atmosphere, great and friendly staff too. Prices were a bit high but the burgers were well worth it. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ will eat again.

Got the savage burger but swapped mayo for siracha aoli and it was a good decision. My friend got the veggie one.
Potato thing could have been cooked just a little less. We got the salt and vinegar one and the vinegar may have dried it out.

Is say I enjoyed my burger that I «created».
I liked that they had an extensive menu of variety and creative burgers on the menu.
However I did not see one that I would like for what I wanted.
I made a turkey burgers, with avocado, lettuce, pickles, bbq sauce (boring I know) but very yummy! I liked the old bay fries as well, but not the best fries I’ve ever had.
My friends had burgers from the menu which I don’t remember fully what it was. Classic or American or something like that. Thru had the regular fries, which were not good.
I doc like that all of there ingredients were fresh and grass feed meat.
The price was very reasonable for the amount of food. And the food was prepared rather quickly. It was pretty empty so no wait.

This is amazing!!! I’ve loved everything that I e gotten from here. When I see my food disappearing, I get sad. But then I remember that I can walk up to the counter, and order more good!!!

Their screen says allow 10 to 15 minutes to prepare because everything is cooked to order. I only had 35 minutes, but went ahead and ordered. 30 minutes later I got my food, which made me late for an appointment next-​door.
Burger itself was good and probably worthy of four stars. I told the young lady, and I was clearly annoyed. The manager came over and gave me a refund which was very nice and appreciated. But they get it 3 for being so late and taking so long to prepare.

Burger point is my favorite burger place now! i love the variety of options in building my burger and the sweet potato fries!
the staff is always very nice when i am placing my order and the sit down area is always very clean. I come here at least once a month and i refer people here often… now i just need them to deliver to my neighborhood and i will be most happy!

I enjoyed my burger at this restaurant. When you walk in the owner makes you feel welcomed. I asked him for the wifi password and he immediately shared it with me. They have pictures of all their burgers if you like to visualize what you may eat. I ordered ‘The Hangover Burger’ with sea salt fries. The restaurant was clean and tidy. The people provided service with a smile. I had a great experience and highly recommend it.

Overpriced, overcooked, overhyped. Five Guys is better for less money.
I’ve been here about five times over the past two years or so, and it has consistently disappointed. For this price, it really wouldn’t be difficult to hire cooks who know how to cook something other than medium well (which always comes out well done anyway). You’d think for having to wait a solid 15 minutes every time, they’d be better cooks. Maybe if they didn’t overcook the burgers so much, they’d be faster. Until they offer levels of cooking other than medium well, I won’t be returning.
Also, they charge extra for everything. Old Bay seasoning on your fries? 50 cents. Sweet potato fries? DOUBLE PRICE-​and they’re not even cooked right, think mushy all around instead of crispy outside and soft center. Basically a burger, fries and a drink here is around $ 15, or $ 17 – 18 if you add anything fancy.
They have a great concept and creative burger ideas, but execute poorly. Save your money and go elsewhere.

My team goes to this spot alot because of the good food, good prices, and close proximity to our workplace. The owner is usually there when we go during the weekdays at lunch time. He’s a really nice guy & you can tell he cares alot about his food and his restaurant. He knows where all of his ingredients come from and has even switched vendors who have not maintained certain standards for food quality and freshness.
Pro tip!!! when you go there make sure to try the spicy ketchup. It is baller!!!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!
Can I please come here everyday?! They have a variety of burgers that it makes my decision so difficult when I come here! You get EXACTLY what you paid for! The fries are so good especially the vinegar for it!
Coming back here with friends to show them how great this place is.

What started out as a slow experience with the staff member who was taking our order, turned into an ah-​mazing one after I took my first bite of one of the best burgers I’ve ever had!
I ordered a cheeseburger with bacon, mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayo and I added a side of cheese fries to it.
Although our wait time was lengthy and our ordering process was slightly frustrating, things started to take a turn for the better when the new owner made an appearance at our table and apologized for the wait. He even refunded a portion of our money back for the inconvenience (without me asking fToward the end of our meal, he came back to check on us and we engaged in a bit of conversation. During this convo, we discovered he’s also from metro-​Detroit, so that was an added bonus. He says he bought the restaurant about a month ago and is making some changes to give a better experience to their customers.
I wish I wasn’t leaving town tomorrow, otherwise, I would definitely be back! I strongly recommend this place and will be back on my next visit to Chicago!

I was really impressed with the service. The burger was made just how I asked. I have seen some other reviews that complain about the price but I thought my burger was worth every penny. The dining area was a little cold but we devoured our burgers so fast that we didn’t have time to be cold. We live around the corner so we will definitley be returning.

The burger point is on point! They have so many varieties that it’s impossible not to find something just for you. There are usually only 2 – 3 people working at a time, even during peak hours but don’t be intimidated. They move quickly and food is cooked to perfection.
All of the burger options (w/​fixings) can be made for the type of patty of your choosing (chicken, turkey, veggie, beef).
I highly recommend trying the cranberry reduction and sweet potato fries. Just YUM!

I should’ve taken a picture because the burger was damn pretty. Like picture perfect out of a commercial pretty.
My burger was «ashman» and it’s just perfect. Nice char, crisp sour chopped up pickles, amazing sauce, some tomatoes and greens. The potato bun was perfect as well. I also got the potato spiral stick. I highly recommend getting 2. Trust me.
I really dislike heavy buns and thick patties. Their buns are light and they do multiple patties to prevent that meatloaf texture of a patty. My burger was 2−3oz aka 6oz.
I’m not sure why this place doesn’t have more hype. Everything is absolutely fresh and made to order. Their kitchen is kind of open and you can see them prepping everything. Including fresh ground turkey for the turkey burgers!
Their burgers are better than Au Cheval, Small Cheval, Owen & Engine, Kumas and etc. If you’ve ever thought of an ideal burger with endless topping ideas and bun pairings… Come here. This place has decent parking too!

So I was driving past this place with my mom and we saw it and just thought.“hey let’s go ahead and park and try it!” So I got a Savage Burger which is 12oz so it was pretty big it couldn’t get even fit in my mouth all the way! But it was delicious it was very filling, I’m still full and so sleepy from it, that’s how I know I ate really good meal! Also the fries are delicious and plentiful. My burger was a little pricey it was almost $ 20 for a combo, but probably because it was bigger, my mom’s was 6oz and $ 13 for a combo. They also have wings which I want to try next time I come, and I plan to! So glad we gave it a shot.

Tasty! They have a ton of preset burger options to choose from OR you can build your own. BYO is always a nice option but for me, it’s like being at a salad bar… everything might look good but it doesn’t necessarily taste good together. I kept it simple and went with option 1 — The Burger Point burger. It had pepper jack cheese, bacon, a roasted chili pepper sauce of sorts a fried (over easy/​medium) egg served on a soft pretzel roll. If I made that same burger as a «build your own» it very well could have been $ 15! — no idea how much actually, but add-​ons were mostly $ 1 extra each so I’m probably not too far off. I also like the fact that everything is made to order. I don’t mind waiting for fresh food. I actually substituted the beef burger for turkey but don’t worry I kept the full on pork bacon as-​is. ;-)

The food was absolutely amazing! The only bummer –about a 30 minute wait for the food (during our lunch hour). Everything is made fresh, to order. I think on this particular day, there was some sort of snafu and our «to go» order took extra long. However, the owner was super nice about it and very apologetic.
I would totally be willing to go back for dinner when time is not of the essence.
I brought back burgers for a few coworkers and we all agreed they were super de-​lish! So just keep in mind the time factor when going.

Was so excited about the shroom burger and my added bourbon shrooms. I’m so disappointed and because it was bought for me and my only lunch in a meeting I’m forced to eat this dry, tasteless, sorry for an excuse burger.
We got delivery but delivery doesn’t account for flavor lacking burgers and tasteless brie and swiss and shrooms. And I would have expected my burger to be swimming in shrooms. Instead they all fit nice and flat on the burger.
For a place that specializes in burgers it seems like they did everything NOT to do when cooking a burger.
So glad I didn’t pay for this tasteless dry piece of meat.

During my first Unilocal-​elite event last year, I overheard one of the elites’ dissatisfaction on her experience at the Burger Point. The was the reason why it took me this long to stop by and give it a fair chance. I’ve been paying attention on the recent Unilocal reviews; there seems to be some improvements occurring.
I was on the way coming back to the north side. With that being said, hubby was in South Carolina visiting my in-​laws and he wouldn’t be able to eat a beef burger anyway (he’s a vegetarian… a very studious one). Being out and about solo meant that I got to eat a burger… on my own… I didn’t mind at all.
You can order off the menu. There are about fifteen (15) kinds of pre-​set ones. Nevertheless, if you’re one of those creative burger eaters, you can customize the way you want with the choice of bun, cheese, toppings, and other ingredients.
I went for the #5: the all American Classic. Why? It has a fried egg and avocado. Yes, having those things on a burger can really make my day. Now you know how easy it is to make Rosa J. happy. Feeding her a well-​crafted burger will do the trick!
This burger came with the pretzel rolls. Thank you, because some other chain attempts to defy the science by holding an egg and other ingredients together with the sesame buns! Really? However, the Burger Point folks understand the physics of a runny egg and how nutty this guy can be. Thus, the use of pretzel rolls was a great call.
I had to sadly deduct one (1) stars for lackluster fries. This may just be personal preference, but I like the steak-​cut fries better than the «old-​fries» style. The flavoring and salinity of the fries were; nevertheless, adequate.
The combo, for $ 13.24, is pretty steep! I will have to go there whenever I make a 100 on my test, which I’m no longer a student.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, the cooking-​time wasn’t delivering in a fast-​food speed since everything was made-​to-​order. If you want a speedy but «no-​love» kind of service, White Castle is right around the corner on State and Cermak. But who will go to a White Castle? You tell me.
The CTA 29 (State) bus stop is located nearby. Get off at Cullerton, walk a very short distance, and you will see the place on the «point» of State and Archer.
