Beef & Burger

Hot dogs and gyros are good, way better and cheaper than Susie’s. If I want a good hot dog this is the spot in this area.

I would not recommend this fast food restaurant. The gyro sandwich is nothing like it used to be. The service is so slow. Overpriced for the quality of food as well as the poor service.

My fiancé and I went to Beef and Burger yesterday. The service is so so slow. There were only 2 ladies in there when we came in. They were together but the slow cook can not multi task at all. He can only make 1 sandwich at a time. Back when they first opened Nick was so nice and he had a cook that was quick. Now they have slow poke Rodriguez and he can’t make more then 1 sandwich. Boy times have changed and not for the better… I am not going back. It took 25 minutes to get 2 cheeseburgers. Come up people Don’t you want customers?

Great food, nice quick service. Open late (but not 24 hours). Fries come standard. There are many similar places and this place tastes exactly like would expect it to taste; it doesn’t disappoint.

I was on the streak of «fast food.» However, I’m not seeking for any fast-​food restaurant on the national chain. I prefer everything local. Ladies and gentleman: let me delightfully announce my finding today… introducing Mr. Beef and Mrs. Burger… or just «Beef & Burger» in short.
This place is literally the next door of that legendary «Susie’s,» but I normally don’t carry much cash. Nevertheless, Beef & Burger does accept credit cards.
We ordered the ribeye steak sandwich ($ 7.49) and the gyro plate ($ 10.99). Everything was made to order. My sandwich was pretty large, with two (2) big pieces of ribeye, along with lettuce, tomatoes and grilled onions. Nevertheless, hubby’s gyro plate was really worth the money; it had two (2) large pita bread, a plenty of gyro meat, a side salad featuring chunks and chunks of fresh feta cheese. All combos come with nice, greasy fries.
They do offer pick-​up and delivery services. The lady behind the counter, other than speaking to someone on the phone in Arabic, was getting phone calls for either pick-​ups or deliveries. Although we were the only patrons dining in, they were busy prepping for those off-​site orders.
If you’re short on cash but carrying the plastics with you at all times, like myself, try this place out.

I like Kuma’s but this place has a better burger. This burger is even better than The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas. The frys are hand cut and perfect. The milk shakes are good too. Number 1 in my book for the perfect burger! Been here many times than any other burger joint on this planet! Best kept secret.

Decided to give it a try: Zero stars, if I could. Very thin tiny hot dogs — definitely not Vienna. $ 3.69 for hot dog and fries — no option for just a hot dog. They don’t steam their buns, either. $ 20 for 5 teeny tiny hot dogs and a ridiculously large bag of undercooked fries.
The woman who seemed to own the place was chatting with two friends, and waited until the guy who made my 5 dogs called her to ring me up. Really, you can’t pay attention to the single solitary customer in your store and anticipate when the order is going to be done so you’re ready to take my money? Then, you quiz me about what the order is? It’s 5 hot dogs, just charge me for it. At this point in the transaction, you don’t need to know what each hot dog has on it…
Oh, and she didn’t seem to care that two guys who came in just after me left because it was taking too long. It appears from other reviews this place is under new ownership. Head 50 feet east to Susie’s — same prices, much better hot dogs!

I was craving a burger and looked up that joint. Rated 4 stars and within 5 minutes drive I thought would be a good choice. Not quite.
There were no customers inside, the manager lady was sitting on a chair playing with her phone and a grill guy came out later.
I came in looking around guessing if anyone was interested in having me as a customer. Don’t think so. That was the regular «all right, since you’re here, how can I help you?» attitude. And even that I had to wait in silence reflection for a period of time enough to make you wonder why you are even here?
I ordered a cheeseburger, which comes with french fries, and a coke.
My order was processed within 5 minutes which was okay, not great but can’t complain here.
The burger was okay, better than McDonalds but was it better than Burger King? Nope. don’t think so. The fries was just trash, something horrible, I didn’t know there was a way to fuck up fries that bad.
Now, the feeling of interior. spending just a few minutes in that gutter made me want to leave right then.
$ 8 for my order was okay. I guess I wouldn’t spend more at Burger King.
Bottom line is I found nothing there that would make me want to come back so I won’t.

Good decent Chicago fast food (hotdogs, hamburgers, beef sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, gyros and Greek salads) and shakes. The chocolate malt is my fave.
The owners are nice, helpful people, move quickly, add extra, fries come with everything. Food is fresh. I’ve stopped going to Susie’s down the street unless I really really need a drive through, which Beef and Burger doesn’t have.
When I’m really lazy or overwhelmed with work, I love that I can call B&B for delivery, I think the min order is like $ 10.

My family has been eating at this restaurant for several years now. The food is always great, especially if you’re on a budget.
Personally, I like the gyro sandwich. It is honestly one of the best gyros in Chicago, and it’s what I always think of first when I’m starting to miss home.
The owners have also improved their shakes recently. They are very good!

Love this place! I came across this place on Google Maps when searching for a nearby cheap place to get some food.
I tried the cheeseburger the first time and just fell in love with it. It was pretty good, considering it was only $ 6 including taxes. And it came with fries. All items on the menu come with fries, however, if you don’t want them, they take a dollar off. Which is what I do, since the fries are not the best here. So I get a cheeseburger almost every other day, and it runs me about $ 5. The burger is quite big, so it’s a good deal.
I also tried the gyro here and it was pretty good! However, don’t ever try the tamale. It comes in a plastic wrap and they just microwave it for you. But then again you shouldn’t be ordering a tamale from a place like this anyway.
The owner there is very friendly, every time I go there, I always stay for a few minutes and chat with him. His name is Albert, or Al, which I think he prefers. He’s always there, along with his cook Oscar. They’re both friendly all the time and always smiling. I love that about this place.
As for the actual physical appearance and set-​up of the place, it’s not the best. In fact, it’s quite shitty. I never eat there, I always pick up. It’s just one of the places you always pick up from. Unless you’re really hungry, they do have seating arrangements, but nothing special. Which I don’t really care about, since I’m a college student. And the food I get is pretty darn great for the price.

I’m not sure how Beef & Burger compares to Susie’s (same kind of restaurant literally right next door), but I definitely loved what I ordered from here. I got gyros and fries and the sandwich was amazing. It’s no Hubs, where you get what seems like 2 lbs of meat in your sandwich; but what’s nice is that they actually put the sandwich together for you, and it’s manageable when you’re eating it. This is the first place where I have been able to pick the whole sandwich up without anything falling out. The pita bread they use is fantastic — crispy on the outside and chewy goodness on the inside.
Perhaps my European roots are coming out when I say this, but I love sauces being associated with everything I eat. Gravy, Au jus, dressings, guerre blanc, mayonnaise, you name it I’m all over it. The tzatziki sauce inside the gyros sandwich is evenly distributed so there’s no trying to dunk a sloppy sandwich into a dipping sauce; or messing your hands further by dissecting your sandwich in order to spread the sauce inside. Don’t worry, the sandwich is still huge and you’re more than satisfied once you’re done devouring it. The fries that come with your order have a wide girth and perhaps 4 of these equal a small potato. One thing I wish about this place, considering the size of their fries, would be that they offer a better selection of sauces for them. Only because they are so huge and they seem to eat like a meal.
While I waited for my sandwich, the customers ahead of me ordered hamburgers and for a moment I almost regretted ordering the gyros. They smelled in a way where you knew once you took a bite into one, the meat would be juicy and full of flavor. I think they could stand to upgrade the quality of their buns. They looked cheap. I’d like to see them invest in pretzel buns with those kinds of burgers.
Beef & Burger is an old building, but it looks like they keep it clean. The guy who took my order looked like the owner and he was extremely friendly. I think he was smiling the whole time I waited for my order. The small space inside made it kind of awkward to wait. I guess I have personal space issues and I don’t like standing too close to anyone I don’t know. Bathed or not. Again, if you live in this neighborhood, there is no need to visit a McDonald’s or Burger King; unless it’s super early or late in the day. I’ll definitely be back!

This place isn’t what it once was, as soon as it was taken over by the most recent owner it has gone downhill, in more ways than none. Fries were hard and double fried. Beef was disgusting and smelled like feet. Overall I think they need to get their shot back together open up on time and serve the quality food/​greasy amazing food they once did.

Still has the amazing gyros I had when I was a kid 20 years ago. An absolute joy for take out! Highly recommend!

If you like Gyros and Homemade fries like I do. Your gonna Love this place.
I highly recommend the Gyro’s special.
BTW: 4 stars because I have to drive out of my way to get here, i wish there was one closer to me.

I ordered delivery. The gyros I got was good, but pretty skimpy. The burger was ok. The main reason I give it 2 stars is how in the world does a gyros and bacon cheeseburger come out to $ 17.60 for delivery??? The gyros was 6.99. The (single pattie and thin) burger came out to 5.49. The lettuce and tomatoes were an extra .69 added to that burger. You have to be kidding me. Delivery charge is $ 3. Add a tip and you are out $ 20 for $ 10 worth of food. It should of been more like $ 16 including tip.
This place was better when it was Golfo’s.

Omg I ordered a Italian beef with cheese with hot peppers medium coke for deliver they wanted to charge me $ 13 then he said if I pick it up it would be $ 10 I could go get a healthy meal foe less then that… to Hig

Absolutely my new spiritual home.
I’ve been back several times and still haven’t managed to get anything other than the bacon cheese burger because it is SO. GOOD.
Fresh, real bacon! That they cooked in front of you! And the burger itself is no slouch. Big and cooked medium-​well, it is very, very much my taste. Whenever I’m in the mood for a burger, this is definitely the place. Forget Five Guys or any of the other gourmet or lunch counter burger places. If you want a fantastic burger and fresh-​cut fries, hit this place up. You will NOT be sorry.

Gyros! and shakes and huge steak cut frites!
call ahead for quick pick up or delivery.
Much better noms than some other close by joints, but not 24 hours;/
nicer peoples behind the counter too! #bonus

My boyfriend and I decided to make a pit stop here when we were in the neighborhood. The Unilocal reviews sounded too good to be true because I love burgers AND we had been trying to find decent gyros. This place was definitely what you would call a hole-​in-​the-​wall. The staff were nice enough and we also met the old Greek grandma who lives next door. Later when we left she offered us a package of her own homemade Greek cake and invited us to the Greek Festival the next weekend. But I digress.
We ordered the bacon cheeseburger and gyro sandwich. I was underwhelmed by the burger. The bacon was good but the rest of the burger was just average. I think a change in the type of bun used would make a huge difference. The gyro sandwich was very good. The meat wasn’t too greasy and it was a good-​sized portion. My only complaint is that they put too much of the yogurt sauce on the gyro. The fresh cut fries, which come with every order, were hot and crispy but not as wonderful as the reviews would have you believe. Would I come back? Yes but only to see the nice Greek grandma.
