My wife is from this area and talked about the food here.. As we were in town visting we visited Bionic and the food was really yummie. The Philly Cheesesteak was awesome! Be prepared if you bionic size your meal, you will have more fries than you can ever imagine... They were tasty though! Wish we had Bionic in Southern California....

Bionic burger is not lacking in charm or service. However, the burgers weren't the best and the fries tend to be greasy and soggy. My burger was reminiscent of sonic. I would have chose a sonic burger over this though. The buns were the same except Sonic's are toasted. I got the Mushroom Swiss burger which is really self explanatory bun, patty, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and onions. It was lacking something it needs a sauce or the cheese to be thinned and seasoned with something because the burger as a whole was dry. The fries had some spice to them which was good but they weren't done all the way (in my opinion) at least. I would have preferred them to have some crunch to them to given them some texture. So next time I will ask for crispy fries and try a burger that has some sauce. Over all it was a fun place that probably has some great menu items I just didn't find them the first go around.

Bionic Burger is a slightly more trendy place to go for your above average cheeseburger. My double was extremely juicy and delicious and they don't skimp on the side of fries that you get either. The fries have a great taste and are very well seasoned. Mine could have been slightly more crispy, but that's being pretty picky. I substituted a chocolate shake for my pop. I got it all for around $10 bucks. A hell of a good deal. You won't be disappointed.

Never going back. Manager was rude! My niece ordered chicken strips and they were disgusting. My sister asked to get a hamburger instead. Manager argued w her and said they chicken strips looked that way because it was a new brand. My niece finally got a hamburger and the manager practically threw it at her when he brought it to her.

In search of a truly great burger I listened to many raving yelpers and was continually disappointed until now. I'm actually ashamed that I was able to eat the whole thing, albeit not ashamed enough to leave the fries.

I love this place and used to go all the time when I visited family in Wichita, I had kind of forgotten it and when recently visited we went. I was so excited when IO remembered that they have real made out of real potatoes fries. It was good, but could have been so much better if it had been served HOT. Don't use servers to bring out the food. It slows it down. Let us come up and get it so it will be HOT. Our server came to the table did not know which burger was which and took it away to find out. We were thinking NO NO NO we can figure it out - give us the food HOT. Please serve it directly to us HOT HOT HOT. Not lukewarm.

Is this place for real? Yep. 4 burgers with fries, drinks and 3 shakes for $38. Deal deal deal. $5-$8 burgers. $2-$4 shakes. Wish there was s local version in my town.

I will admit, maybe this wasn't the best place for a vegetarian, but many burger joints these days at least carry a veggie burger. Since I had no such luck here, I ordered the grilled cheese. If you don't like American cheese (like me), don't make my mistake and ask for cheddar. They use liquid cheese used on nachos or fries, which doesn't stay between bread very well. I didn't hold that against them because like I said, it was my mistake. The fries were absolutely delicious, and the order was so big I couldn't finish them all. Other posts are accurate in describing the grease film coating everything. I didn't have the best service. The young blonde lady with neck tattoos was quite unfriendly, but on the other hand, not the worst service I have received in Wichita. That honor goes to Ann at Lotus Leaf Cafe. Bottom line: delicious fries, but I probably won't be back because it isn't the best fit for me. Two stars for the fries, one for the value, and none for the service.

Did not have great service here tonight and we eat on occasion as our kiddos like to sit upstairs so it was NOT our first time here.. We had to send burgers back because 2 came out incorrect and one seemed very under cooked. We also sent fries back because they were raw. When the fries came back out not more than 2 minutes from when we sent them back we questioned whether they were done and the answer we got was they just changed the oil so the fries won't be golden in color. The girl behind the counter was Very unfriendly did not seem to understand how to use the register-we had to walk her through counting back change. It was like we were inconveniencing her but we felt if were spending our money there for dinner then we should get what we ordered. When we were ready to leave we asked for a bag to take the leftovers with us and we once again said sorry for all the trouble we were sending the food back and her responce was a ver rude "whatever".
No impressed! Burger was not good, meat tastes off and the place was dirty, sticky tables! Ew. I thought it would be better based on the reviews but I will not be back.

Burgers and fries are tasty, but this is not somewhere you want to go if order accuracy is your cup of tea. Great place to go if you're not in a hurry. On the upside, even if they goof up your order, it's still liable to taste good. When I went, the person at the counter moved at a pace best described as "glacial", spoke in a voice that was barely audible, and didn't really seem to know what was on the various burgers (and the menu doesn't tell you either). The cash register seemed to have her completely flummoxed, and despite having a fancy POS order entry system, they still had to call the orders to the kitchen (which is probably why your odds of them getting your order right are slim at best.) Location-wise, this place could really benefit from a deep cleaning. The floors seem to be permanently sticky, there's a light coating of grease on just about everything else.

It's rather small so at lunch it's probably better to get take out than wait for a table inside. I got lucky and got the last available table at lunch. The woman behind the counter couldn't answer my only question about the menu, but she was polite and pleasant and quick to get the answer from someone else. I had a buffalo burger combo with medium fries and a drink. They have Pepsi products. The fries were good, crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside, and it was a big order for a medium. The burger, though, fell short. It was obviously a frozen, preformed patty, and it lacked the rich flavor that I love about bison. It was also dry and on a really cheap bun with no texture. I'd expected something better. Two stars for cleanliness and service and one for the fries but none for the burger.

Bring your kids. This is the type of place they will remember when they grow up. For me, I will always remember my mom bringing me here in the 80's. Eating upstairs felt so cool to a young kid from Kansas where almost everything is only one story. Yeah, it's kind of a greasy grimy place, but that's how it's supposed to be.

Great hometown burger place with lots of options on the menu at reasonable prices. The burgers are pretty good here but the fries can be hit or miss. When the fries are done right they are as good as anyone's. On this trip I got the mushroom swiss burger and it was LEGIT. It had the right amount of mushrooms for the size of the burger but not to much sauce that it comes pouring out all over your clothes. Overall it is great place to grab a burger not quite a greasy spoon joint but not a high end burger joint either.

Best fast food burger in a city with a lot of average burgers; a city where Braum's, Spangle's, or NuWay are the likely favorites. Went through the drive-thru and asked what the "Six Million Dollar Burger" was. It was explained to me by their drive-thru attendant very kindly (its their 3/4 lb. burger). I ordered the double SMDB meal and I "Bionic sized" it. The burger was very big but it was very greasy. In fact, it was so greasy that the bottom part of the bun was drenched and appeared as if it had been run through the sink. It looked pretty sub-par, but I was just pig enough to eat it anyway. Burger was very good apart from that; though I felt like I needed to run a half marathon after eating. The fries were fresh cut and likely the hottest fries (temp not spice) I've ever been served. Very greasy as well; almost too greasy. The were very good despite this, however they don't seem like they were cooked all the way. A bit slimy sometimes. But, again, I was pig enough to eat them all anyway. I noticed there is a food challenge they advertise. If you eat the triple SMDB and a large fries you get a shirt and a place on their wall of fame. However, you still have to pay for the meal. Which, if Im honest, this means you pay them to allow them to use you as advertising. The only food challenges worth doing are the ones that prove their legitimacy by offering the meal for free. I would love to dominate their challenge but its an advertising ploy and not a true food challenge based upon the fact they won't offer the meal for free. Mercuh!
