Busy Burger

My boyfriend suggested this place and it was absolutely great, the burger was freshly cook to order which is always a plus!!! The fries were also a hit., I’ll definitely be coming back in the near future

Came in during the Weekday Lunch Hour with my Boyfriend. The place is very tight in the front, I can’t imagine what it’d be like with a rush of customers. Thankfully we didn’t experience any kind of traffic jams and ordering was actually quick and easy! The atmosphere is modern and tight, it’s a fast food joint. The staff seemed pretty hectic and unengaging and again I kind of understand considering it’s fast food.
No complaints, the food was good. Nothing spectacular, I will say that the sauce was definitely a game changer! See for yourself! My favorite from this visit was my Strawberry Shake, it was pretty great but I do wish it was a little bigger! Yeah, I’d probably be back ;)

The food is very good but the service is terrible. The last 4 times I have picked up food there my order has been incorrect. I called after the third time and was told it would not happen again, but low and behold my wife goes back today and our order is incorrect. I’m sorry busy burger but you lost a once loyal customer for good.

Visited this restaurant for the first time. The hot dog with everything seemed to lack relish and onions, but still good. The single patty Busy Burger is unique due to the spicy kick which accompanies the charbroiled taste. The spicy sauce dominates the burger significantly diminishing the charbroiled taste. My third bite into the burger gave me two different tastes. My first two bites satisfied my palate with the delicious charbroiled taste. The third bite and beyond had me reaching for my beverage to subdue the spiciness of the burger. The burger bun is fresh and tasty as well. I’d stay away from their shakes. They are made clumpy and thick which makes it difficult to sip through a straw.

Probably the best Turkey burger I’ve ever had! The stuffed burger was so flavorful. It was also huge, big enough for two meals. It would be great if they had Turkey bacon for the stuffed burgers.

This burger joint is one of the true gems in the UIC area. Everything on the menu looks good but you can’t go wrong with the burger. I’ve always had good experiences whenever eating here or ordering it to go. Will be back soon!

I wanted to get a quick bite to eat THE DAY AFTER… Thanksgiving. I took my wife and one of my children. Busy Burger fit the bill. Served a delicious burger, AND the Fries were VERY good… Awesome the «Day After»… I had a Stuffed Turkey Burger. IT WAS quite tasty… As a matter of fact, my wife and daughter had one too!!. They BOTH said the same thing! It was fresh, Hot, and very tasty. The service was a little slow, and «lacking» but the food overshadowed the short coming of the service. It was that good! I was completely satisfied, and will got there again I’d suggest anyone try one of the stuffed burgers.

The hot dog was good. Nothing spectacular. Just the typical Chicago style hot dog. The guy that ranged my order up was not welcoming at all. He acted like he did not want to be there and I was a bother to him. If you do not like dealing with customers, seek other employment that does not require you working with the public.

Tasty burgers with lots of fixings to make it even tastier! Good fries, great onion rings and a great Pina Colada shake.

The reason I gave them 1 star, because they have very rude customers service. I order from them at least one or twice a week for delivery. Long story short. Everytime I ordered milkshake or soda they always forgot about it. I know maybe its on different section, but every single time its not acceptable. I tried to explain to the young guy on the register, but he told me that I was laying about that, because it happened so many time. I paid for it and I deserved it. Even the driver didn’t want me to tip him, because he feels bad for me. The reason I gave 1 start, because they had good food, my ordered came in 20 minutes (speedy)and delivery guys were polite and professional he even said to order next and it won’t happen again.
Food: 5 star (cook perfection)
Cleanness: 4 star (clean and looks new)
Delivery: 5 star (speedy)
Customers service: 1 star (I’ll put 0 if I could)
Ps: the owner should fired the guy on the register, because he didn’t know how to handle problems instead scream at customers.

Wow, this place serves up a delicious burger. I had never heard of Busy Burger before, and we stopped by on a whim to get a mini burger and onion rings to tide us over for the afternoon. I’m pleased to report that the burger was fantastic! Delicious, hot, grilled to perfection, with fantastic grilled onions with the right amount of carmelization on them. And the bun was great too – on the spectrum of breads, it was somewhere near the «pretzel roll» end of things, and it was a fantastic complement to the burger contents. The onion rings were also fantastic too – served piping hot with a delicious coating that was not too heavy.
All this was served up in a cute, shiny, clean location right near the University. Stop on by, you won’t be disappointed.

The stuffed burger is delicious! With fries it comes out to be ten dollars. Very well priced for quality.

I always end up going here because bae absolutely LOVES this place. I like their beef burgers, they’re fine, and their portobello mushroom sandwich is good, but I never had an «oh my god» moment until I tried their turkey burger, which I think should be their shining star. It is moist, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned; their turkey burger definitely needs some recognition. I now definitely know what I want to get when I go next time!
Side note– management, PLEASE do something about your fries. They are dry, flavorless, and hard. I think this place would be outstanding if the fries weren’t so gross.

I finally got to try Busy Burger! I must say, I was definitely surprised by how good the burger was. My classmates and I agreed that the bun was really good and the sauce they put on the burger is different and very good. It has a little punch to it and compliments the meat and bun really well. They have indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. The menu has options to satisfy different palates/​diets.
For a local burger place next to a university, they are kind of expensive. They do offer a discount for students, but it is still kind of on the upper side for a burger. I didn’t even get fries. (Broke college student problems…)
Other than price, the service was good, food prepared well and tasted awesome, and they didn’t take forever to make your order.
Don’t forget your student ID for discounts!

A pretty good burger with a nice spicy mayo. The onion ring portion was a bit small, but they were tasty. The highlight of Busy Burger are the shakes! The chocolate shake is one of the best I’ve ever had, and almost is a meal in itself!

I have to admit, despite the amount of grease Busy Burger has some damn good burgers and a tasty spotted cow shake.
Down-​sides still exists. It’s very tight quarters and definitely not handicap accessible. I still believe the food doesn’t match the decorations.
Then again, if you don’t care about the extra stuff, the spicy mayo will delight you very much.

I really like this place. Great neighborhood spot for some quick food. I stop here on a weekly basis and it’s been really consistent. The burgers are really good and the last time I ordered here, I got a polish that was yummy. I am a big fan of fries, and they do it well.

The burgers here are flavorful and portioned well. The fries are really good too! Next time I’m definitely trying the portobello burger … I keep saying I will try it «next time», but every time the «next time» comes around I just want another busy burger again!

Great food for relatively cheap prices. The best deal is definitely the Chicago style dog which comes with a side of fries for only $ 2.99.
I also love the Spotted Cow milkshake

Not that good. Overpriced too.
Burger was kind of plain and dry. Not much flavor. Meat was kind of thin and a little overcooked. Didn’t see like they put on much toppings either.
