Tucked along lively North Avenue in Wicker Park, SALT burgers + fries proves that simple things, done carefully, can feel unforgettable. The onion rings alone deserve their own fan club, but the smash burgers, crinkle of skinny fries, and zippy SALT sauce make the whole experience sing.
Step inside for bright light, griddle theatrics behind glass, and a menu that keeps decisions easy while still delivering big flavor. If you have been hunting for a cozy Chicago counter spot with halal meat, fair prices, and knockout rings, this is your move.
The Onion Rings That Steal The Show
The golden onion rings at SALT are the kind you remember later, crisp yet tender, with a batter that shatters on the first bite. Each ring lands with balanced seasoning, letting the onion stay sweet without turning greasy or heavy.
Dip them into the house SALT sauce for a tangy lift, or try the fuego option if you want serious heat…
