It was nice to be able to customize the burger we exactly wanted. Here are the various choices you need to make:
Type of burger - beef, turkey, chicken or portabella mushroom
Type of bun - white or wheat
Choice of toppings - lettuce, tomato, pickle, Epic sauce, onions (grilled or raw)
Type of cheese for an extra cost - cheddar, blue or horseradish Havarti
Choice of fried egg or bacon on top for an extra cost
Nick chose a beef burger, white bun, lettuce, tomato, pickle, epic sauce, grilled onions and cheddar cheese. Natalie chose the same except for raw onions and blue cheese.
You also can choose to get a combo meal served with fries and your choice of a drink - fountain, bottle, shake or smoothie. We upgraded to a peanut butter shake for Nick and a Milk n Honey smoothie for Natalie.
The burgers were really good. Both of us enjoyed the burgers more than a Five Guys burger, but not quite as good as Ray's Hell Burger in Washington D.C. The shake and smoothie were amazing. It's hard to say that a frozen beverage is better than what the restaurant is named after, but you almost can say that here. We would love to frequent Epic Burger, but since we don't work downtown normally it is hard for us to get to the locations. On their website it looks like they will be adding 2 more Chicago locations, so maybe sometime down the road they can add more suburban locations. The cost was a little more than you may expect to pay for a burger combo meal, but we did have the upgraded drinks and this price may be typical of downtown Chicago lunches and we just aren't used to those prices.Final thoughts on Epic Burger:
Food - great food, glad we thought to stop by while we were in the area
Service - for the lunch rush it didn't take too long to get the food
Atmosphere - casual, busy, filled with young urban professionals
