MR BROAST LOMBARD "HOME OF THE ZINGER BURGER" — Restaurant in Lombard

In the midst of all the chatter buzzing around town, enter the legendary Mr. Broast Lombard. A confidante tipped me off about their game-changing Zinger Burger. Can you believe it? The Zinger Burger! If this haven't graced your taste buds, you're basically missing out on the pinnacle of burgerdom. Oh yes, my dear food-loving friend, a bona fide critic of culinary wonders, dropped that recommendation like a mic. Naturally, I embarked on a personal adventure the very next day, crossing rivers and hills (okay, maybe just streets) to unravel the myth of this so-called gastronomic marvel.

Swear on my appetite, it was like hitting the jackpot. Nestled conveniently on Roosevelt Road in Lombard, it's practically five minutes away from IFS in Villa Park, glaring at you from the main road as if to say, "Resistance is futile." An evening visit unveiled a bustling scene, a carnival vibe where folks were indulging in the culinary extravaganza. Picture this: a birthday bash happening on one end, families with their troops of little ones, and friends collectively basking in the glory of good food. It was almost like stepping into a paradise of palates.

At the counter, I encountered a young lad who was evidently on cloud nine about his gig at Mr. Broast. He took my order, dishing out suggestions like a seasoned food whisperer, guiding me through this culinary odyssey. In a sea of options on the menu, his presence was an oasis. Order placed, wallet lighter than expected (who doesn't love a pocket-friendly feast?), I was briefed on the custom-made approach of the kitchen, pledging 10-15 minutes of anticipation. And so, I found myself seated, a spectator to the kitchen theater.

Time zipped by, and as my order number was melodically called, a wave of excitement overcame me. While I hailed, the emissary from the counter signaled me to sit tight. Voila, it was as though I had ordered from a swanky diner. Hats off, Mr. Broast! The food, well, let's just say the Zinger Burger was the stuff of legends. An epic masterpiece that left my stomach stretching its capacity, while my heart begged for more. Trust me, my willpower was locked in a duel between heart's desire and sensible choices, and in a rare moment of triumph, the latter emerged victorious.

To the good folks at Mr. Broast, you have won me over. A colossal thanks for the spectacular gastronomic affair. Brace yourselves, because this fervent burger acolyte shall be returning with a mission – that elusive second Zinger Burger, the one that slipped away. See you soon, Mr. Broast,...

This is my 3rd time going here recently, and sadly each time I’m more and more let down. The staff is not rude but also not the most helpful. I had payed almost 10$ for boneless wings and was served what seemed to be quail meat because of how small the portion was. In the picture I had already taken a bite but regardless it was unacceptable. The second time I went, they gave a total of 10 fries probably when my friends and I all payed for meals. We were able to get an extra side of fries for free after bringing it up to the staff, but along with that we were served a lot of attitude as well. The third and best believe last time my friends and I came, which was today, we had brought a little food from outside but ordered items from their menu additionally. We were about halfway done with our food with our hands all messy and were told we can’t eat here because we have food from outside. We were told we can eat outside and they have tables there. It was 30 degrees and snowing outside. I think that says enough. We were paying customers who, honest to god, did not see the piece of paper that was barely visible on the SECOND door of the building that barely stays closed that said no outside food allowed. Only when told to leave we saw it, but regardless we understand there are policies, But the way the situation was handled was very unprofessional. If we were told we can’t bring food from outside in but can finish our meal and not do it again, With every ounce of honor and respect in my heart I would’ve gladly done so and come back to eat at Mr.Broast. But with the experiences I’ve had, I’m sorry but the reputation they’ve built for me is not sufficient for my return. This is no way an attack to the employees, I get this is their job, but there Is a level of respect and professionalism necessary in order to handle...

I was on my way to a Doctor's appointment and decided to stop for some lunch. On Roosevelt is Mr. Broast: Chicken Burgers Wraps. Burger sounds good. On the Building Marquee is "Home of the Zinger Burger": that sounds like a possibility. I walked in and was suprised to find a totally different vibe. It was Indian, Pakistani, or Iranian somewhere in the corner of the world. I am immediately concerned as my stomach does not tolerate spicy food. I like it but I pay a price; it's a party in my mouth and a dumpster fire in my stomach. I looked over the menu and can immediately rule out a few options. I spoke to the counter person and explained my situation, and he was able to guide me to suitable options. Still skeptical as people who enjoy and frequent spicy food often under estimate what equates spicy. I got the Zinger Burger with the sauce on the side and a Mr. Beef slider. The Zinger Burger is a deep-fried chicken sandwich, so it's not a burger, but it sounded tasty. Mr. Beef is Beef Shawarma on a bun; it was too spicy, and I'm glad it was small. I was told it would be 20 minutes for my food, I had time but unclear on why deep fried chicken, fries and Beef Shawarma (which you would make ahead of time) would take 20 minutes, but ok. True to his word 20 minutes later, my food was ready. I was disappointed in the Zinger Burger as the creamy cole slaw made the deep-fried breaded chicken breast soggy - I was eating in the dinning room, I hate to think how it would be if I picked up and drove home with it. The fries were seasoned with paprika and salt mixture. Indian food is tasty, but I do not have it usually because of my stomach issues. If I do not have a negative reaction, I might be back as the staff was friendly...
