I gotta admit, at first the location threw me off. Any restaurant located next to a Mobile gas station gives the impression that it's going to be greasy, low quality grub. Not the case here. This gourmet burger spot uses the finest beef, chicken, fish, and bison and is definitely more of a place you'd sit down and enjoy as opposed to scarfing behind the wheel of your Chevy after filling up. I've had the salmon and turkey burgers and you can definitely tell the difference in the free range meat and fish that they use. Served without sides, it's a little more expensive than your average meal, but compared to some of the other fancy spots it actually comes in at a lower price point. There's not a ton of seating, but there definitely is a lot of parking in the gravel alley behind the gas station so the strange location actually ends up being a really good thing. I can definitely see this being a great spot to pick up dinner to go given the accessibility. People really do go Wild for this place out in Des Plains and I think if they can get over the hump of a strange location here in the city they'll have another success cause they have a good product.

If the service reflected the food I would've been poisoned anyway...ordered food for a group and never got it. Called ahead to schedule a delivery and they directed us to use GrubHub which is all fine and dandy. After collecting our group orders (only 4 burgers and some fries) the order was placed and our confirmation said it would be ready for pick up in 30 minutes (also fine). One of us went to pick it up and to our disappointment the restaurant was closed with the lights off despite calling first and then directing us to GrubHub within a few minutes. Thank goodness we didn't pay ahead of time because I can't imagine having actually deal with them again after such a disappointing experience and we would've been out 50$.

A+++ for service at this location ...... We have visited the Des Plaines location many times ,it's absolutely delicious! Best burger I have ever tasted. We called the Des Plaines location this afternoon because we weren't sure if they were open on Sundays , there was No answer when I called . In the mean time my son looked it up online and said the web stated "Open Sundays " . I called the Chicago location just to confirm , Louie answered said he wasn't sure if they were open because there was a storm today and there was a power outage . We were still going to try going ,would you believe Louie called me back to let me know they are definitely closed for the day . I was so impressed ! Had to leave a Yelp review .

When my boyfriend and I visited American Wildburger I was hopeful that the food would taste as good as many of the pictures made it look. While the employees working were very polite, we stood by the counter for a few minutes waiting for someone to take our order. This surprised me as there were only 2 other people in the place and they were already eating. Our food came out quickly but my boyfriend had ordered a burger bunless and it arrived with a bun. I had ordered the stuffed avocado and it was incredibly greasy. As a place that markets their menu as having healthy options, this was unexpected and disappointing. The stand out feature of American Wildburger was definitely the employees. The young man who took our order was extremely polite, using sir and ma'am each time we were addressed. Also, because the order was incorrect, free fries were provided on the house.

I have been waiting for American WildBurger to open in Chicago, I am a huge fan of their Des Plaines location. Fresh gourmet burgers, fresh cut friends and healthy options make this the perfect place to eat with friends as everyone leaves happy. My favorite burger is the Philly Burger that comes with sauteed mushrooms, peppers and onions and is topped with provolone cheese. They also have gluten-free options, including their house made chicken nuggets, which is a huge bonus. Recently I have been on a health kick so my go-to has been the Southwest Avocado, so delicious and healthy too. Will definitely be coming here often!

Went for lunch and both my burger and my husbands burger were made incorrectly. We both ordered and paid for extra topping (mushrooms), but neither of us received them. We also asked for onions and pickles, but didn't receive those either. My daughter ordered their chicken nuggets. Everyone else has their food and she was still waiting. When they finally arrived, they were fried chicken ball shaped things, not nuggets. They were very dry. Probably wouldn't visit this establishment again.

Horrible. Ordered food and never got it. So I left... I'm dropping this place to 1 star and that's because I have to. It's just a BAD BAD experience. Everyone working here seems like you are interrupting their smoke break... They could not be more disinterested in you, almost as if you are bothering them to order food. I went it last week at 1:30pm. There was not another customer in the store. After my last visit, I learned how to order. I built my own burger. It took 13 minutes to get (I timed it). 13 minutes is way too long for a burger. Burger was OK I guess. Maybe a C+. I'd eat it, if it was sitting in front of me but for $12? Holy cow. Not that good. I also ordered fries.... When they brought my burger the server said "your fries will be here in a second". WHAT? Why aren't they ready now? AND Why didn't you drop fries before you brought my burger? That's Burger Shop 101 right? Anyways, I ate my burger and still no fries. I waited for a few minutes and still no fries, even after I had finished my burger. So 20 minutes after I ordered my burger... still no fries. I got up, left and walked to my car. Some guy in a hooded sweatshirt up sort of came after me and said "you didn't get your fries". No shit man. I ate my entire burger and I didn't get any fries. He offered me a free burger but I said no thanks as I wont ever be going back here.

I actually give them 1 star, but I realize that by showing five stars more people are inclined to read this. Cali Classic chicken sandwich was 7.50 then it was 8.00 then it was 8.50 then it was 10.50 now it's 11.50 for a Cali Classic chicken (and that's without fries and a drink) So in a mere two years the owners are killing their customers. They exclude many potential new customers with such prices, and it's a given they're going to lose loyal customers who feel they're getting screwed by men who put profit above Wisdom and having a Clean Christian Conscience. And rather than fix the problems with the first location (lots of people are unhappy about it) the owners chose to open a second location in Chicago.

Odd location (strip mall at gas station), but very good food and service. Workers are friendly and seem to really care about your food, unlike fast food joints. Had the Chicago BBQ burger and cheese fries. Without me asking they put the cheese on the side so it wouldn't sog up. Burger was cooked perfectly as specified and loved the pretzel bun. Only thing I'd note is the Chicago BBQ doesn't have much of a BBQ sauce taste to it, and was perfectly fine as is, but am sure if you ask they'll make it work. Lastly, a plus of being at a strip mall is they have parking.

11 of us showed up. It wasn't busy and the manager was training two new employees. We order a lot of food. Things for them got a little crazy all the sudden but they handled our order very well. Customer Service was 100% the best. Food was good. Thank you for your ability to adapt well to change and take care of your group! Best yet at customer service.

Love this place. Chicken lettuce wraps are amazing with chipotle mayo on the side. Cajun fries are a thumbs up Wild fries are to die for. Burgers are delish, you can build your own or get one of their amazing signature burgers. Choices of meat..Bison, chicken, turkey and beef all hormone free. They also offer gluten free

Tried the Philly Burger and the Cali Classic with a beef burger tonight. DELISH! We barely put the burger down to breathe! They were so good! The burger was fresh and the ingredients were cooked perfectly. The staff was very friendly. Whoever answered the call to take my order was super nice. The atmosphere was that of a small town diner, but made you want to try sit and try everything on the menu! Very good..definitely be back again!
