Freaking horrible

The burger was decent but the chili cheese fries were kinda blah. Next time just going to get the fries without all the cheese. They're seasoned, so they look like they could be really good. Husband got the same thing and it was all average. We'd come back, but in no hurry. Overpriced and the floors are dirty.

Couldn't say I agree on the world's greatest burger but I can say that they're alright. Go with the pretzel bun option because the regular bun is whack in my opinion. On it's own, the regular bun tastes fine. It has a sweetness to it like Hawaiian bread or a croissant. Put this together with classic burger items and the bread flavor starts to take over. Not ideal since I enjoy burgers because of the burger patty and ingredients. It's like going to a rock concert and all you hear is the rhythm guitar: that one thing stands out too much and it's just outright distracting. Lots of burger varieties are offered here though, which is awesome. No matter who you are, you will find a burger that suits you. Adding to that, you physically choose each ingredient that goes into your sandwich. The milk shakes are delicious so stop by the bakery section and get some tasty treats before you go.

How can you go wrong with a big fat ass 1lb juicy burger. mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm...How do you add to that, you get an order of fries and cover them with jalapeno cheese sauce.... One damn mighty fine burger..
(5)Jaclyn G.
Customer service and food completely excellent! Thank you! The gentlemen greeted me, service was fast and friendly. Jalapeño cheese is yummy. Sides are laid out so only you can get your order wrong. So yummy!

I miss Fuddrucker's in the 1980's. Actually, I miss the way it was in 2012. Something's changed here and the burger is not the same based on my visit on 3/2/13. For starters, Fudd's has changed a lot over the years. I remember going to both Downers Grove locations (there also used to be one at 75th and Lemont road). Back in the day, your order was called via an electronic on-screen system. The restaurant had TV's throughout the restaurant and your order number would appear in Atari 2600-esque graphics. Then, prior to the bakery counter, there used to be a bar with stools. Yes, I vividly recall Fudd's having bar seats with beers on tap. This was probably 20 years ago now, right around the time I turned 21. There also was a butcher shop at the main entrance and I think you could actually purchase ground beef to go. It was really a unique concept and the burgers and fries were always awesome. Sometime over the last many years, the bar evolved into a bakery counter, and the butcher shop is long gone. They also performed a remodel many years ago by tacking up stock celebrity photos, placing old radios and memorabilia on a shelf around the border of the restaurant, and improving the atmosphere. I recall the interior of the Butterfield Road restaurant used to be yellow with cantina type canned lights strung along the ceiling. My visit this last weekend was not a good one, and it was very surpirsing as I have never had a bad experience. Maybe I just visitied on an off day. Here are the details: I am betting that the burgers are now cooked from frozen, rather than fresh. The 1/2 pounder did not taste right, and only slightly resembled the flavor of Fudd's in previous visits. The fries were strangely a bit soggy as well and just weren't right, and the cheese pumps are at the main counter now - a little more difficult to get to (perhaps to discourage use?) The cookies were very good, and I clearly saw that Fudd's is using GFS (Gordon Food Service) ingredients as you can clearly see them behind the counter. Perhaps they are buying other ingredients from GFS that are substandard? Finally, the order paging system used to be light up coasters that would vibrate. Now, your name is called over the loudspeaker and it's quite loud. I get the fact that maybe that it might be an efficient way to call orders, but why inconvenience all your sitting customers with the loud voices? Perhaps they cut costs by eliminating the coasters. They now have two coke drink machines that allow you to create over 100 different variants of soda, such as vanilla cherry coke, or grape mellow yello. This is very cool, but perhaps this is the only improvement seen in my last visit. One last thing - the tile floor was sticky and the carpet was dirty where our table was. And the decor is very dusty, soiled, and all is in need of a good cleaning. I will likely try Fudd's again, but I think their hay day might be over. I do know that the parent company has struggled in recent years, and it's possible that the company is doing what they can - I give them credit for surviving in a tough market. It's just not the same any more.

I'm a fool for the sliced jalapenos and pico de gallo on the fixings bar. Burger have always been tasty here, juicy and cooked well. Prices are a little steep for a burger joint, but it IS 2011 (almost 2012), so I guess I should get over that... Clean place, too. Overall, I can't fault them for much other than being one of a zillion options for a good burger. If you live in the neighborhood, worth the trip!

Before the proliferation of "gourmet" and build-your-own burger chains (from Fatburger to Five Guys to DMK to Tom & Eddie's) there was Fuddrucker's. You won't find goat cheese, potato chips or garlic aioli as a topping here, but they do have several cheese varieties, avocado, bacon, grilled onions, etc. Plus, there's the fresh toppings bar where you can get all the pickles, pico de gallo and jalapenos your heart desires. Another bonus: They have "exotic" meats -- bison and venison included. I haven't tried these. But it's kinda nice to know they're available. This place is clean (much nicer than the one in Addison was) and pretty comfortable. It's counter service, but with somewhat more comfortable tables than your average fast-food restaurant. But what you really care about is the food, right? Well, it's pretty good. I actually got a salad -- a greek salad with tons of romaine, feta, grilled chicken, tomato, cucumber, olives and croutons, plus a garlicky buttered roll. The main problem I had was that the veggie pieces were huge! Come on, don't make me cut up tomatoes and lettuce so I don't look like a fool with these huge leaves hanging out of my mouth. Bite-size, people. We also shared some nachos (yes, they have nachos) and they had plenty of pico and cheese sauce, plus some pretty tasty ground beef. Guacamole was okay. You can get more cheese, pico and jalapenos from the topping bar if you wish. I give it three stars for the food and an extra one for being clean and shiny.

Burgers are good as always. I think it's just time for an update. The game room at this location is a bit weak. I took the kids there as a treat and it was underwhelming. Oh.. The soda machine while cool takes forever. They need 2 more of them as there is always a lien for drinks. I miss the other Downers location. As far as burgers, though, I really like them. But you can get burger about anywhere.
(3)Christian L.
Food is great. service can be cold at times but overall reliable place to get an awesome burger.
(4)Maronda H.
Me and my son stop in after a afternoon of shopping. We placed our order quickly. The food was good. The burger was hot and juicy and the fries were seasoned well Nice burger joint. It was quiet and laid back. I look forward to going back
(3)Kevin S.
It's been a long time since I've been to a Fuddruckers and I'm very disappointed that it took so long to return. They have a very good menu but I think vast majority of customers like myself visit for the burgers. I had the honor of being treated to lunch by friends and I'm glad they chose Fuddruckers as their destination. I ordered the Three Cheese burger and made it a combo. The burger was served to my specifications 1/3 pound burger cooked medium, just like I like it. I would order the 1/2 pounder for dinner, the 1/3 pounder was perfect for lunch with wedge fries cooked and seasoned just right. They also have my FAVORITES machine, the Coca-Cola Freestyle, if I had my way, that machine would be in my garage! My experience here was very good; not a long wait for food, tasty meal, and with good friends. I WILL return!

I know what everyone says about the décor here and I'll add that the parking lot is not the best, but Fuddruckers does what they've done for many years based on the same things-good quality burgers (from different sources-elk, buffalo, beef, turkey, chicken). Their buns are bakery fresh and it's fun for kids and adults to add on what they want to their burgers and fries/rings between the fresh condiments and pumps o' sauce. There aren't as many of these in the area these days, so this is the only one I've been to over the last couple years, but their menu has changed-for the better. They've brought nachos back and they're the same as always-a good amount of food with spicy queso, beef, chicken or chili, and the guac and pico are good. Add on some peppers (banana or jalapeno) and more pico from the toppings area and you're set. The make your own soft drink machines provide a ton of options but make waiting in line for a drink unbearable-I get the confusion, but it's more trouble than it's worth. With all of the other burger places from basic to "gourmet" that are now around, Fuddruckers is still at the top for quality and the ability to dress it how you want.
(4)Kara Z.
After moving away a year ago, I think often of Fuddruckers! They win for one of my favorite burger places anywhere, and I love the Beatles booth at this location!
(5)Noelle V.
Love their burgers! One of the best I ever have. It is so sad there isn't a lot left. However regardless still good burgers!
(5)Rebecca R.
A little expensive for what it was, but still pretty good. +Chilly cheese fries +Patty melt +Free style soda machine +Peanut butter shake Nothing blew my socks off, but it was all pretty good. I think my favorite part was the shake. I left feeling a little greasier than I would have liked. Next time I might try dressing up my own burger and trying a different side. Everyone working was pretty nice and the place was also pretty clean. Maybe not so much the bathrooms.
(3)Laura C.
Fuddruckers was a staple in my childhood. Glad that they still offer the same gigantic burgers, wedges and cheese sauce! Nice to see they've added some additional menu items like buffalo, elk, boar, turkey and veggie burgers. Honestly though, the restaurant itself could use improvement. It really has aged and is not kept clean. The women's bathroom was disgusting. The ceiling was leaking in several places.
(3)Brande O.
Ok, I am gonna write something here that will probably not win me many fans with all of you burger and craft brew connoisseurs out there. I know that this has become kind of a big thing in recent years, and sometimes I feel like the burger is the new steak in terms of how it is rated and how many options you have. I've tried so many burger places, but I have yet to find one that I like as much as good old Fuddruckers! I consider myself something of a burger critic (ok, just really really picky). My burger must be cooked just right. It can't be too greasy. But it can't be too dry either. The bun is the pièce de résistance, and so often neglected! It must be soft but flavorful, and a little chewy! Condiments need to be plentiful and fresh. Fries should compliment the burger but not overwhelm it. They should be potatoey with a little crisp to them. Choice like alternative meats and pretzel buns are a nice option for when I'm feeling a little crazy! I'm a high-maintenance burger gal and it is very hard to please me. But even so, Fuddruckers always hits the mark. When I was growing up down in the southern suburbs, there were plenty of Fuddruckers around. They started to close down though around the time that I went to college. I was SO EXCITED to find one in Downers Grove when I moved up this way! This location always seems so fresh, clean, and well-staffed. When you order, they take your name and you get a little vibration coaster (do those have a name?) to let you know when your food is ready, but it is always 5 minutes or less. I wait longer for my food at Taco Bell than I do here at a sit-down restaurant! They have a huge condiment section with fresh veggies, the usual condiments plus options like spicy mustard and jalapeno cheese. I like that it is self serve for the drinks and you do not have to tip, because you can get a pretty affordable meal but also feel like you're having a dine in experience rather than a fast food experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is fun, with plenty of seating arrangements for large parties and an arcade section for kids. But my favorite part is the dessert/bakery area where you can get phenomenal cookies, brownies, and other goodies for super cheap! We always take a bag home with us when we go, and they keep for a couple days. So yes, you can head up to the city and check out a burger and craft brew joint where you will probably have to wait in line for an hour, hang out with the hipster crowd, pay an arm and a leg, and battle traffic to get back. That's cool if that's your thing. But for me, I'd prefer a quick run to Fuddruckers and (in my opinion) a superior burger any day!
(5)Danny H.
I don't really see why this place is rated 3 stars. Simply put, the burgers are great, the entire place is very clean (I'm OCD), and everyone I came in contact with was very friendly. Didn't give 5 stars because, let's face it, it's a burger joint.
(4)MARIA O.
Stopped in w the kids one Saturday afternoon. We happened upon Fuddruckers while running errands in the area. Not having had the pleasure, but having heard the name, I was excited to give them a try. The kids are still talking about it to this day. That's how good they are.
(5)Doug R.
I liked the build your own burger option and while I haven't been here in quite a while, I'm sure it is still just as good.

I've lived in this area for years, and recently discovered the Fuddruckers in Downers Grove. I remember the commercials from years ago on this place and wanted to try it, so I agreed to get dinner with a buddy here after work. I regret planning for us to come here. The place is visibly worn out, and the mens' room is in need of serious repairs. The service was friendly, but the teenagers running the place made a lot of mistakes that night. I ordered the Buffalo Burger. I was surprised to have my buzzer go off 5 minutes after I ordered it. I asked if it was my medium Buffalo Burger, they said yes and I and waited with my buddy for his order. Another guy came up and asked for his Buffalo Burger he ordered 25 min ago. I had taken it when they buzzed me on accident. Poor guy had to wait 20 min. again, and I was more than halfway done when my buddy got his food. We both agreed the burgers were pretty bland-tasting. It also costs extra for cheese, fries (less than a dozen potato wedges) and a drink. My $7.95 Buffalo Burger became $13.95. Like another reviewer mentioned, my medium burger was Barbie pink on the inside, complete with a massive bun that killed off any hamburger taste.

We came here today because a friend wanted to meet us after a workout at the nearby XSport. I only have one good reason why we avoid Fuddruckers in Schaumburg and Downers Grove. Nothing has changed with the decor of these places since they started their business in 1979. They need to modernize or it will continue to creep me out. The whole place feels almost like a carnival: dim lights, little sunlight, red carpeting, red walls and red ceiling. The round booth in each corner of the room has its own stripper pole. The hard wooden tables and chairs match those typically seen at old mom & pop restaurants open from 5a-3p. 70's classic rock plays overhead, their era splattered all over the walls, including the words "Restrooms" in big bright neon lights. Burgers and service haven't changed either. They are still very much top notch. They don't have it posted on their menu board but you can order 1/4 lb or 1pound if you don't think 1/3 or 1/2 is satisfactory. I think the bread is buttery good. The condiments are off to the side so you can put whatever you want on your burger. A new top of the line Coke product dispenser and their menu prices are the only things that have gone up. A beverage with refills is included in the burger order and that's better!
(3)Sean B.
I've always enjoyed Fuddruckers I like the do-it-yourself build your toppings on your burger I've always like the unlimited free liquid cheese I recently learned how good their milkshakes are and this particular restaurant has excellent customer service and location
(4)Cary H.
Good burgers - choose between 1/3lb, 1/2lb and 2/3lb patty. I got the 1/2lb southwestern burger with avocado & bacon. Because, well, avocado & bacon. The condiment bar is well stocked, loads of different additions for your burger no matter what burger you chose. Contrary to popular belief - this place can serve as a dinner joint and DOES serve alcohol. Choices are what you would expect though.. Bud, bud light, coors, I think I saw a corona as well. What's a burger place without a beer, right? I cannot comment on price, is my meal was provided by a friend of mine during a business meeting. Sorry!
(3)Colleen B.
We used to go to fuddruckers when I was a kid. My boyfriend and I drove past this location on our way to College of DuPage. Dan said he's never been and my jaw dropped. So lunch time rolls around and we stop in. We both got bison burgers with our favorite toppings and the steal fries and a drink. We spent a little over $30 and Dan looked skeptical about it. I told him to just wait till he tries it. We got a table and waited for our food. When we finally get the food and the conversation stops as we dig in. Dan admitted it was a great burger and the fries rocked. It's still a little over priced but worth it every once in a while. I've never tried their milkshakes and other sides etc.... We may need to try some other menu items next time. You order at a counter and then find a table and wait but this isn't fast good. Everything tastes like it's made fresh and you wait 15-20 minutes for your food but it's worth it.
(4)Micki H.
quick, friendly, helpful and great burgers! The people that work here are awesome and they even take coupons from the web if you join the Fudd club , Great burgers great price and super service!!! Makes 5 guys look lame and expensive!
(4)Stacey W.
What's not to love? You walk in, order, take your buzzer, and get your food in a timely fashion. I had the chicken fingers platter (which comes with a drink! Woohoo!). The chicken was hot and meaty, and the fries were delicious. Make sure to get a cup of hot cheese to dip them in. Yum, yum, yum! Don't forget to treat yourself to some garlic bread!
(4)Jeremy A.
I stopped here for lunch when I was in the area. I ordered the buffalo burger, which was nice to find on a menu. It was fresh and cooked exactly as ordered. The condiments were all very fresh and displayed in a clean organized fashion. Tomatoes were dark red, very green lettuce, etc. Being able to get a beer with your meal instead of soda is a nice alternative at no extra charge. This was the first time in about 8 years I have been to a Fuddruckers, and I will be back for sure!
(4)Deanne S.
What has happened to this restaurant! This used to be a favorite. Now it is DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY. We waited so long to place our order, I thought the restaurant was closed. Something has really changed... the burger didn't seem as fresh, the bun was dry and tasted old. The staff had a don't care attitude. Too bad... looks like we are going to look for a new restaurant for movie date night.
(1)Richard, J.
Haven't been to Fuddruckers in many many years. It was okay, nothing special. I do love their drink dispenser!
(3)Lily M.
I've always loved fuddruckers my family and I always come there one: because it's close. Two: because there is good atmosphere and good food.But now we come as a last resort because its close the food is ok the buns on the burgers are just messed up they are like sponges. The shakes are good but I wish there were more flavors. Also, I wanted to note that maybe I'm the only one that realizes this but when u order a shake they bring it before u have your food delivered but today I got mine about thirty minutes after my food came, but the man apologized for the wait and the was good. So I think if your pressed for time go to fuddruckers but if u have time and want really good food go to steak and shake.
(3)Lauren P.
This place has turkey burgers! Their portions are huge, so if you're on a diet like me just eat half and save the rest for later! Grilled onions and mushrooms are a must, and you can pick and choose the million and one toppings from their vast condoments bar. The feel of the place is elvis - like with plenty of booths and tables for all!
(4)Lydia Z.
Good burgers. I like that they have added Elk and Boar. The Elk is good, the Boar, not so much. Their fries are also pretty good and if you like cheese fries you are in luck...they have a cheese dispenser near the condiments so you can take as much cheese as you want. Burgers are a little pricey especially for the speciality meat like Elk. $13 for the meal deal. But at least it is tasty!
(4)Jeffery A.
I've heard about these places but never tried one until yesterday. I had gone to Fry's for a new router for my computer and this place was right down the street. Most folks are probably familiar with the way things are done here, but for those who aren't, its pretty simple -- you order the size hamburger that you want from 1/3 pound and up. They cook it to your specs and you proceed to top it with the many toppings they provide. If you order a combo meal you get fries that are quite tasty and a beverage. You can substitute the beverage for a beer if you like. My burger was cooked perfectly, I ordered medium, and that's exactly the way it was served. You are given a pager so you can sit and wait for your order to be completed. The facility is very clean, and the staff is attentive and friendly. I had a 1/2 pound burger combo and a beer and my bill was about $8.00.

Great healthy options like a buffalo or turkey burger, i also enjoy their salad bar!!
(5)Yvonne O.
I still do not get the attraction of this place- especially with the expanded menu. We were in at lunchtime on a Saturday and they made the fabulous decision to have only ONE cashier taking orders. So, there was a line of idiots who wait until they are in front of the cashier to decide what to get, need separate checks on everything and wait for the very end of their order to take out money to pay - did you think this would be free? After twenty minutes in line (60 seconds of which was spent in front of the cashier because we aren't retarded) we then manage to find some seats and wait and wait and wait. I had almost finished my shake (you need bigger straws because I cannot suck pieces of strawberry up this thing without my head imploding) by the time the food came. During this time I noticed that 99% of the people in this place are beyond morbidly obese. There were shapes of ass that were just not plausible. STOP SHOVELING CRAP IN YOUR MOUTH!! And their kids are on a fast train to diabetes with the soda, shakes and desserts they were all having. By the time we left, there were no open tables and people were just standing and staring at everyone willing them to leave.
(2)Jim N.
Great Burger, love the jalapeno cheese for the burger. Great Value compared to Five Guys. Bigger and cheaper and great tasting burger. I travel 40 minutes at least once a month to get a great burger like Fudds!
(4)Aftab Q.
Good burgers, fries, and onion ring. Love the bun, it's baked fresh daily, in house. The new coke machines allows for endless drink combinations. Don't forget to get a chocolate chunk cookie on your way out.
(5)Rosanna L.
The cashier that took our order was clueless. I ordered a turkey burger with swiss, onions, and mushrooms. She obviously didn't hear me because a few seconds later she goes would you like cheese with that? I was like um no thanks? Than my friend order the three CHEESE burger and she goes would you like cheese with that? When we got the receipt she didn't have my swiss onions or mushrooms. Then when we picked up our ordered I had the wrong order of my fries and my friend's burger didn't have the onions he ordered. Once everything was fixed and I sat down and smelled my food you can tell everything was extremely salty. From the fries, to the sweet potato fries, to the turkey burger. I ate maybe half and threw out the rest. What a disappointment. Fuddruckers usually leave me satisfied, but not this time.
(2)Jen M.
I hadn't been to one of these in a long time. My husband and I weren't too impressed. For $20 we got two 1/3 lb burgers (mine was bacon and cheese, my husband's was avocado, pepper jack, and bacon). The burgers themselves were good, but the toppings were low quality considering these were $7-8 burgers. We also got a soft drink and side of chili cheese fries. Again, the fries were good but the chili was bland and the cheese was cold. All in all, if our bill had been 5 or 6 dollars cheaper, it would have been okay. We probably won't be returning.
(3)Ben B.
The kid in me remembers spending so much time in this place, the adult in me realizes its kind of a pricey burger place! I love the sweet potato fries, and there is NOTHING better than a bigger covered in pico de gallo and honey mustard.... and then a big pile of both on the side, and scoop it up with the fries... omg so good. Theyve added chicken and 'weird meat' to the menu, but i didnt try either. My coworker had the chicken, it was a HUGE chunk on a bun. He liked it, and I enjoyed my 'Ben special' as well. mmmm now I want a burger again Update: I was mortified upon my return today to come to find. ... *gasp* no honey mustard! Strike one. Fries were cooked differently, they're squishy and crumbly now, no longer suitable for my pico shoveling. Something has certainly changed. Strike two. However, they did have a coke freestyle machine, and cherry vanilla coke zero with my heart stopping burger gives me a false sense of health. Hmmm. Things got changed up, it was like a time warp. I feel like I walked into an alternate reality. I'll have to stop in soon to see if it was a fluke, but I feel a little slighted.
(3)Erik T.
Good burgers! I like too that they have a variety of condiments for your burgers and potato wedges. I love cheese fries; so, of course, I found the cheese for the nachos and liberally applied it to my wedges! YUM! Anyway the burgers are what you go for!!! The service is something we've never had to deal with; but the girl who took our order last time couldn't have been less interested in working that night. It didn't really take away from the experience and it gave us something to talk about while we ate. If you love burgers give this place a try!
(4)Melissa H.
I go to Fuddruckers for the best buffalo burgers in town. Hot, juicy, fresh, with a fresh, soft whole wheat bun. I'm tempted to try other burgers on their exotics list, including boar, elk, and ostrich, but I'm never sure I should deviate from perfection. Fuddruckers also has their signature wedge fries here, seasoned perfectly, with that awesome cheese and spicy cheese you can add to it (and your burger!). If you're deciding between Fuddruckers and Red Robin, I tell folks that Fuddruckers serves more traditional burgers with more meat options, and Red Robin serves fewer meat options but with much more variety in toppings (very creative!). Expect to drop $13 or so on a burger, soda, and fries, but be prepared to walk out satisfied! Service has always been good on my visits.
(4)Brandy W.
I think this place is the bee's knees. Any place who lets me put the entire jar of pickles on my sandwich and not charge me for "extra" is worthy of just praise. Plus, I actually can have something other than a "grilled cheese" at this place because they cater to vegetarians such as myself. All the toppings you want, put on by you and you can eat in a room fit for a king. These places are huge, the people are nice, and it's a great deal. They're also known for those incredible homemade hamburger buns that are truly delish. Although... it is somewhat inconsistent with the size. Sometimes I get massive buns and sometimes smaller... but since they're homemade, I would expect that, I guess! Finally, and probably the MOST important to mention... they have combos where getting a beer is the same price as a soda (burger+fries+beer OR soda). HOW sweet is that!?!

I love Fuddruckers. I have been going to Fudd's with my family since I was a little kid, and that was at the 75th and Lemont location which, sadly has been closed. I now have to drive up north to get my burger fix, which I am glad to say hasn't changed a bit... I don't know why they closed the one at 75th- I thought they were doing good business and they were always consistent with good quality burgers and fries. I read the reviews for the closed location and was completely shocked to read that a reviewer repeatedly got sick there. I had been going to that location since at least 1988 and NEVER got sick once...Maybe just a weird coincidence? I don't know. Anyways, I like to get the 2/3 pound burger done medium rare, with Fudd Fries and a drink. I personally feel that their burgers are probably the best around, and the fact that you can top them off with spicy Jalapeno liquid cheese and lots of raw onions/pickles is a major bonus. The burgers are cooked to order, but I have been told that they won't cook the burger less than medium rare, which is a disappointment since I like my burgers rare.. They also have "exotic" burgers, like Ostrich, Buffalo and I think Elk, but I am an old-fashioned ground beef kind of guy so I haven't bothered to try these...YET. The Fudd Fries are nice and thick and well seasoned, and beat out all the fries I have had elsewhere, IMHO... Overall, I am more than pleased with dining at this location and bestow upon it the highest of honors, the 5-star rating. When I have money and want a fine burger, I go to Fuddrucker's and nowhere else. I WANT TO EAT CHICKENBURGERS!

I am at a loss as to why Fuddruckers can't seem to make it--too many have gone out of business (Darien and Orland Park are long gone) Thank god the Downers one is still here, but it is a bit difficult to get to and a little out of the way for us. It may be a little pricey but the burgers have no equal. I get sick of the charred bar burgers out there and these don't have a hint of charring (probably because they are grilled). They are always juicy, always tasty, and I love the "do-it yourself" condiments. The buns are fresh and home-made and the fries are different good. The fries are potatoe wedges (which I normally don't like) but are really good. I'd like to see them offer a shoe-string type of fry as an option. This is by far, may favorite burger--in fact, it seems a little weird to give a burger joint 5 stars, but to me, they are that good!

Fuddruckers used to be my favorite place as a kid, but I'm not sure I agree that they have the World's Greatest Hamburgers anymore. Nonetheless, the price is fair and the food is very good. I enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant too!

We were bummed when the Fuddruckers left Naperville. Just happened across this one a couple of months ago and will be going back often.

My girlfriend and I have been to this location a few times. We've always been greeted promptly, received friendly service while taking our order and have gotten our food correct. The dining area was clean while we were there and it appeared tables were cleaned promptly. Our only recommendation is that the pop/ topping area be cleaned quicker, it can get pretty destroyed by the younger customers. All in all I give it four stars and we'll definitely go back again. Cheers!

Fuddruckers would be my go to fast food burger place. The one thing that they do perfectly is the quality control. I've never had a burger there that was not good. You get to pick out your condiments from rows of freshly cut vegetables, pick out your dressing and they have jalapeno cheese for your fries. The staff is always friendly and their milkshakes are delicious. I also love that they have different kind of burgers like buffalo and ostrich and their veggie burgers are good too and not dry like other veggie burgers I've had.

just ate one of the best taco salads ever!! I know you come to Fuddruckers for a three lb. burger but I am not a huge fan of this place to begin with. my hubby is the one who likes grease on a bun. however the chicken taco Salad with spicy ranch was excellent!! However I caution that despite the good food I still had to down about Three tums about a hour later. food not so good when it repeats on you. I will probably go back and have the same thing but will be taking a pepcid before hand.

I'm starting to get ambivalent about Fudd's. I've had more than a couple burgers where "medium" apparently means, "Wave it over the top of the grill so that the outside gets done." Don't get me wrong. I like my steaks nice and pink, but burgers need to be cooked through. Doesn't mean "pucked", but cooked. Problem is, "medium well" gets you "pucked" and "medium" gets you "moo". I don't know why this is so hard. Same grill, same weight of burgers. Should be easy. Beyond that, Fudd's is ok. I do like the variety of choices and they do a good job of keeping the toppings well-stocked. The kids like the non-beef burger offerings and the bakery cookies are always good. Still, a little consistency in grill management would be welcome.

Have come to this location many times and have never been dissapointed. The food and service are excellet and the restaurant itself is in a good shape. There is a reason that it is typically busy everytime I come for lunch.

this is only the second time I've been to fuddruckers. the first was in cali, but the experience was pretty much identical. great burger- I got the southwest 2/3lb burger meal, with chili cheese fries. the burger fed both me and my wife, and the fries were pretty much overkill. since we shared the meal, the bill was only $13. i love the fresh condiments they put out for you, and that they have cheddar / jalapeno cheese dispensers. all in all, i'm glad we stopped by, and will definitely frequent.

Got an email coupon for a 1/3 burger, drink and fries for $7.00 flat. What a deal! I am not a meat eater, but this burger today was so delicious, I ate every dang last bite, and all the fries too! Absolutely delicious!

Humm. I have been at several Fuddruckers in my day. This one was just like most others. The burgers are really good. I love that fact that offer several different types of meat in there burgers. However it can get a bit pricy when you want to try something new.

When you're really hungry and in the mood for a burger.... this place can't be beat. You choose the size of the patty and general flavor/style of the burger [southwest, etc] which comes with unique toppings. Then they prepare it and serve it to you. The best part is the vegetables/condiments bar. You can finish it however you like with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, etc. Unique touches included them greasing up your bun so its nice and warm when served. Complete your meal with extras like fries or onion rings , very satisfying :) . There is also a little bakery with fresh cookies, always a treat!

I hadn't been to Fuddruckers in a long time so we went last night. I always used to love it. Last night (about 8:30) they weren't even busy, but we waited 20 minutes for our food. I had a 1/2 pound burger and my girlfriend had chicken tenders. $20 + for the both of us was a little pricey but not outrageous. Unfortunately, despite waiting 20 minutes, the food was not what I remembered. I had the sweet potatoe fries (which I usually love) but were not hot or very tasty. Girlfriends tenders were good and hot but here fries were cold. The burger was O-K, but not nearly as good as remembered. I really hope it was just a bad experience - I used to really enjoy this place.

Burgers are good. Fries are good. I like how you get to put your own toppings on. Also a plus is that hot cheddar cheese that you can put on or use it for fries.

Yea the burgers were good and the price wasn't bad either. The round young lady at the register was sooooo miserable. She seemed so bothered that I wanted to look at the menu for a second and then she screwed up my order. The decor is fun and they had a UFC fight going which was cool. If I'm in the area and I want a burger with attitude from the staff I'll stop in. I won't go out of my way though

fuddruckers is great when i have a little bit of extra cash. the food is always good and i'm a sucker for the games on the side, even at my age. i love being able to load my burger up with everything i want at the bar and not be charged extra for it, and i always leave stuffed.

consistently good burgers and chicken sandwiches, the condiment bar and soda fountain is also very good. plenty of room, and a nice little bakery for desert. Fuddruckers does not disappoint.
