Natural & organic burgers, shakes, and sweet potato fries
"Epic Burger is a Chicago chain — with locations in Skokie and Evanston — whose take is a more mindful burger; they source their beef from Creekstone Farms and you can mix and match with toppings. If you’re around the Loop or the North Side, Epic is your best bet for a good halal burger, especially with their sweet potato fries." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad
"Chef Curtis Duffy continues to reach for Michelin stars at Ever, but after the indoor dining ban, the sleek Fulton Market restaurant needed an additional revenue stream. Duffy’s burger isn’t genre defying, but the talented chef has put out his version of a griddled double patty, the type of sandwich that customers could enjoy at a diner. Reve Burger has recently expanded the menu to include chicken sandwiches. Order via DoorDash and Caviar." - Naomi Waxman
"The future of Epic Burger, the mini-chain with eight locations, is in jeopardy. Crain’s reports that owner Kyle Welch has given the company back to the venture capital company. Epic Burger specializes in burgers with thin patties and shakes and was one of the first to serve halal meat to broaden its appeal to more customers." - Ashok Selvam
"As a mini-chain, Epic Burger has donated more than 15,000 meals to frontline workers through a new charity called Feed Chicago, an effort driven by founders including Epic Burger President Kyle Welch and partners from Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises and Valor Equity Partners." - Ashok Selvam
"As a fast‑casual mini chain, Epic Burger has been a pioneer in using halal meat and Beyond Meat; after the success of its Beyond Burger, Epic is launching a limited‑time Beyond Brat at its eight Chicago‑area stores starting today for $7.99, which often serves as a beta to measure customer interest before deciding if it goes permanent." - Ashok Selvam
