"A beloved burger spot in Evanston, closed due to pandemic-related revenue loss after 15 years." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Located in the heart of downtown Evanston, Edzo’s is a top burger contender around the Chicago area. The massive char-grilled burgers are obviously its main attraction, but Edzo’s also offers hot dogs and a wide selection of other sandwiches. The fresh-cut, never-frozen fries are popular too — they come in a dozen varieties and are perfect for dipping in a creamy milkshake." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"Edzo’s in suburban Evanston serves up griddled and thick-patty burgers and crispy, skinny French fries. The spuds are great on their own, but Edzo’s also offers hand-cut fries in an arsenal of flavors, from garlic to Cajun to loaded. Watch for specials, which in the past included lobster fries as decadent as eaters would expect." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
"Edzo's makes arguably the best fast-casual burgers around. The smashed, griddled patties are highly addictive, highlighting the quality and care that owner Eddie Lakin is known for. Folks who prefer beefier offerings will appreciate that there are also eight-ounce char burgers. Online ordering is available here." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
"Owner Eddie Lakin has made this suburban Evanston spot a destination for burger fans all over town with his habit-forming smashed, griddled patties." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
