After hearing many a mixed review about this place- I decided to do the logical thing and try it myself with my family. Right off the bat- maybe don’t bring your entire family. The seating is super limited- prepare to stand like a hawk looking for a table to clear on the weekends. We ordered through the kiosk and the food came out in about 35 minutes. I would say the prices are also very reasonable. As someone who has been to in & out a few times- I understand the comparison. The fries are better, the burgers- similar. We ordered one of each fry for the table and the Salt fries win. The meat is halal and good quality, cooked thin and crispy on the edges. All the men in our party seemed to agree that one double burger is not enough to fill them up- they opted for a triple or another single/double burger. I ordered the “flying dutchman” spin off and let me tell you- HARD pass. Everything was great besides it. The onions are cut too thick making it impossible to taken a clean bite- leaving you with a mess of ground beef onion mush. Would return for their regular double burger with peppers.

Finally checked this spot out as I’ve been craving a smash burger. It was pretty good, I grabbed a double smash burger w/ their fuego fries. Those specific fries have ghost pepper, I did not notice that lol. They are REALLY hot, just a warning lol. The burger was pretty good, not CRAZY but I’d stop by if I’m in the area. Give them a try for yourself

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.

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!

Burger was delicious. But the Salt fries, meh. Not enough cheese or peppers throughout. They definitely made a good show for the television show they were featured on because it was not like it was in person. Also, the lemonade and other tea I believe watermelon strawberry, hard pass.

Such great smash burgers. I ordered a single and it was plenty of food so the price was kept low and I appreciate that. The fries are skinny and crispy and salty, like what McDonald’s wishes they could be. Onion rings tasted like a proper beer batter. I recommend getting house burger sauce for your fries or rings. It’s sweet and vinegary.
I would say the only downside of this restaurant is the atmosphere. I wish it was not so bright and loud. You can’t escape the loud music on either side of the restaurant and it’s just not a sit and relax type of atmosphere.

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)

Burger serving restaurant, the food was good, small portion. French Fries are small not my favorite. The cleanness is ok. It can be better.
