“got their single burger which had the perfect amount of lettuce with their signature sauce and got the fries and peppers! compared to in n out in cali i honestly love this place more since it’s supposedly their dupe.”

“Très bon smash Burger fait à la commande avec visuel sur la cuisine. arrivé au hasard dans le resto, Bonne surprise”

“Best smash burgers in the world I love these so much !!! (After math in the photo)”

“Family living nearby in Chicago recommended their burgers. I ordered the double and was very pleased with my choice. Juicy, delicious with crispy edges. Worth the short wait because it is made to order so you know it is fresh. I will definitely be stopping in again. Eat in or take out you will be pleased with Salt Burgers + Fries.”

“Great burger. Seasoned well and not too salty. The strawberry and lemonade drinks were amazing as well. I am definitely coming back.”

“First time trying today. I thought it was really good. Simple and classic smashburger. Good cheese with fries, fuego onion rings are hot ones.”

“It was my first time ordering there and it was pretty good the Burger and onions.”

“An excellent spot for a classic smash burger. I ordered the double cheeseburger (sans veggies) and was beyond impressed by the quality flavor. Burgers are cooked well-done, tender, paired with grilled onions, a generous topping of pickles, signature SALT sauce, and soft buns. While the meat speaks for itself, the buns have room for improvement, but otherwise one of the best burgers in Chicago. The interior spaces are open and clean with a lot of daylight. One of the more comfortable fast food joints in Wicker Park. If you want a great burger and an affordable price, come check them out!”

“Great location, great food. I know dang right when they got la raza whippin it up it’s gonna be good. Great experience and the food is quality. There was a lot of activity in the area, it was lively and tasty. Would definitely go there again. Despite the traffic they seem to get, it’s very clean.”

“This restaurant is so good. Great burgers, good crispy fries, and quick service. It’s popular so your food won’t be ready immediately, but the staff are cooking food behind the glass at the front counter and they work diligently to made your order as quickly as possible. Ordering is easy through a kiosk, and there wasn’t a line to order when I went. Prices are also very reasonable. (Note that they share the same place as a cafe)”

“Dare i say overhyped? Like it was decent but ironically it needed more salt haha. Then salt fries were really good, the peppers were the perfect touch but the burger was a bit average for what people have been saying. The music was so loud i felt like i was in a rave but it’s all good.”
