The Halal Burger — Restaurant in Lombard

Alright peeps, I've lived in town since 1999, was a HUGE fan of the previous proprietor's food (they had the BEST gyros) so I walked into Halal Burger with the attitude that I needed to be impressed. Further, I do not seek out Halal food, so I Walked into Halal Burger to see what the new owner could offer me on a fast pick up gyro dinner. This is not hyperbole, this is not the owner's nephew or something. I don't live next door to the manager or attend weekend services with the proprietor. That being said I am VERY IMPRESSED with Halal Burger. Why? The new owners are still spinning the BEST gyros in town! Further, they now offer a new range of Middle Eastern flavors that are matched perfectly with my old favorites; if you like french fries & dig spicy-sweet, check out the Ahmed Fries, they are delicious! I also had them make me a Chicago style hotdog which passed the test, no red flags & at a fair price. The service was very patient with me, I not having seen a menu until I walked in there. They also suggested the Ahmed Fries. Seemed like a decent groups of guys with the old salt working the griddle. Food was a 8/5 (yes, its mathematically-impossible-level good,) service was a 5/5, atmosphere is a 3/5 as I always take the food home but there are a few tables in there where you can read a copy of the latest Tradin' Times. I also did not test the plumbing when visiting, if you'll pardon the expression. Try this place for FANTASTIC food at...

Yesterday, I ordered the

Korean BBQ wings came with fries Classic Burger Cowboy Grill French Onion Chicken Sandwich

I didn’t like the food. It was quite terrible especially the beef burgers.

The Korean BBQ wings were ok so was the chicken sandwich but still not worth the price. I would have expected a dipping sauce with the wings and the fries tasted stale.

The beef patty burgers, I mean the cowboy & classic were terrible, the ketchup and toppings were over powering and the beef patty was either overcooked or stale because it was extremely dry and barely tasted the beef in the burger.

In the cowboy there was barely any Turkey bacon as you can see in the photos.

We were really happy that another burger place was opening but we didn’t like the food.

There’s really nothing special about their burgers if they just splatter on some ketchup and cheese between a bun. No homemade sauce nor a good patty.

The other halal burger places are definitely much better whether it’s Chi Tea, Mr. broast or Centro etc.

The halal burger would be my last option unless they can improve the quality. I would say, a lot of improvements...

This small, unassuming burger joint proves that size doesn’t matter when it comes to delivering big flavors. Though it’s located on the main street, it feels like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. The moment you walk in, the mouthwatering aroma of freshly grilled patties hits you, and you know you're in for something special.

Each burger is a masterpiece juicy, perfectly seasoned, and stacked with fresh, high-quality ingredients that burst with flavor in every bite. Whether you're into classic cheeseburgers or adventurous toppings, the menu caters to both purists and foodies alike. The fries are crispy, golden perfection, and the house-made sauces take everything to the next level. Apart from burgers they do offer wings, gyro which is equally exquisite on its own.

Service is warm and personal, making you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. Despite its small size, the cozy atmosphere and vibrant energy make it the kind of spot you’ll keep coming back to for a burger fix that truly hits the mark. In a world of big chains, this place stands out for all the right reasons—flavor,...
