Drippin' Bites — Restaurant in Rogers Park Township

New place on Sheridan, I think it replaced Crazy Greek Station which is good because the food was not that good. This is a new Halal chicken and burger spot. Typical burgers, fries, mozz sticks and chicken tenders spot.

The location is a bit small, but good if you need a quick bite to eat. The dining area needed to be cleaned by I could tell they were short staffed and didn’t have time to clean so I did it myself. The man who took my order might be the owner, very nice guy but his English was not the best so I felt as he didn’t understand me when I asked for a single smash burger instead of a double. But I let it go because it wasn’t that big of a deal.

The food itself is pretty decent. I got the smashburger add beef bacon, lettuce and tomato and the dipping sauce. Honestly, I should have only added bacon because the lettuce and tomato + the sauce made the burger way too wet and hard to eat. Next time I will just order it as it comes.

The fries were good, they don’t use battered fries which is a plus! I really hate this new trend of battered fries. The mozz sticks were also good. A bit cold when I got them, but again, I looked past it because they were very busy.

Overall, pretty solid. My one complaint is the food is expensive. A burger, fries and mozz sticks should not be $28. Even in today’s economy...

Drippin' Bites was IMPRESSIVE. For a fast casual burger joint, I was pleasantly surprised. Been wanting to try it since they opened up in my neighbourhood a few weeks ago, and I will continue to highly recommend them to locals and visitors.

Smash burger: 20/10 Fries: 12/10 (20/10 for those drippin' fries) Chicken fingers: 10/10

Everything, from food to service, was perfect or better. With other delightful burger spots in the Rogers Park and Andersonville area (Bop n Grill, SALT, Little Bad Wolf), Drippin' Bites is the perfect addition to set the far-north Chicago/far-east Rogers Park area a step above of the (friendly) competition. I will be returning frequently, and dragging people with me each time.

And yes, as per the photo, I ATE all...

Great quality and quantity of food for the price. I got the smoked burger and it was great. Not too greasy, flavorful with BEEF BACON (so great options for non-pork eaters). You can choose between classic and Cajun seasoned fries. They don't do fountain drinks, they do cans and bottles (which I prefer). I was one of the first 50 customers and the cashier asked everyone who ordered if they'd like a dessert. Love that they offered that. Tiramisu was tasty and my husband loved the strawberry cheesecake. Music set a good vibe everyone was bobbing their heads and chatting. Excited to become a regular at this spot! Next time I'll try their loaded fries and maybe their vegan chicken (out...
