I love the burgers here! They've been good every time I've come and the meat tastes fresh. The price is decent for wicker park I guess but they also have a dessert area connected that sells mochi and other baked goods. Service is always nice here. The overall ambiance is okay I wouldn't dine in because the tables and floors can be sticky but great for a quick bite.

I chose Salt Burger & Fries because I was killing time between checking out of The Robey and heading to O'Hare airport. After reading reviews thought I'd give it a shot. As someone previously mentioned, you order and pay from a touch screen where there is a tip prompt. Like aren't tips for great service? The whole time I was looking at the touch screen two workers were standing there scowling at me waiting. Unfriendly and no I didn't tip. Burger and fries were great. I'd go again if I was in the neighborhood. I will never tip at this establishment. Do you tip at McDonalds?

I was debating between giving this place a 3 or 4 star review. Still not a big fan of ordering from a screen and then get asked to tip and the end. The service? There is no service. You place your order on the screen and then they call your order number and walk away. There's no thank you or eye contact. And there's also no condiments outside either. The burger though. That's a different story. Screw the customer service I guess. As long as the food is good, sometimes in the end, that's all that really matters. It was a very delicious burger indeed. The patty tasted fresh and was seasoned perfectly. Would definitely be returning for this fairly priced burger. We also ordered their Fuego fries. These were definitely spicy. But also very addicting to eat. I would probably recommend eating these after you're finished with your burger. Otherwise you won't have any tastebuds. Beard Papas is also in the same building. I'll right a separate review for them...

We ordered takeout so I can only speak about the food, however, the burger was amazing! It was juicy and delicious and gave everything a classic cheeseburger should. The Salt fries were tasty - it reminded us of their version of animal-style fries. Their standard fries would've been tastier if we had ordered them there - sadly I don't think they deliver very well, which is why I took one star off. Their onion rings were incredible though! They were huge, lightly breaded, and extremely delicious. We also ordered their Fuego fries and onion rings and there's a huge emphasis on "Fuego". I'd like to think I have a good spice tolerance, but these were beyond anything I've ever had. We could only a few bites of each before we were sweating. Unfortunately, those were the only things that were left uneaten. Overall, I'd get this again but I would try and order directly next time. I've seen their locations and they seem like a great late-night spot to grab a good burger. I wouldn't recommend getting it delivered as some of the food may not arrive very fresh.

Food is good, there is a strong language barrier with staff. I wanted to add ghost pepper seasoning (Fuego) to my salt fries. No option was in the digital menu for that. Had to talk to 3 people to get that done. They got it done though... But 1 out the 3 gave a little attitude vibe.

No way to order ahead. Never accept online orders/answer the phone. Burger not worth dining in. Figure it out.

The beyond burger is yummy 7.5/10and my boyfriend likes the double 8/10 would not recommend getting a “milkshake” it’s more like a smoothie/Frappuccino and tastes like
This place is the best. Best burger in town and the Salt fries.... fire. Absolutely delicious. Been to 2 of the locations and both are a hit. Onion rings are perfectly crispy. Don't forget to get their

Best burger I’ve had in Chicago in years. The SALT fries were great as the onion rings were cooked perfectly.I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in Wicker Park for a concert!

I just tried this place for the first time and I cannot express how good it was. I ordered off of door dash, so I threw the fries in the air fryer for like two minutes to crisp em up a little bit, but everything was amazing. Being from LA, I’ve never had something closer to in n out, especially when you get the hot peppers on the side. Will order again!

Casual burger and fries spot for a quick meal. The veggie burger and fries were good but nothing extraordinary.
