Schaumburg's top-ranked smashburger — halal, never-frozen, built to order. A Double at $9.49 and a 4.6-star Google rating tell the story of a northwest suburb hidden gem that's drawing customers from across the metro.
Out Cold Burgers & Fries opened in Schaumburg around 2024 with a straightforward mission: never-frozen beef, smashed fresh to order, no shortcuts. A halal-certified counter-service spot on W. Schaumburg Road, Out Cold built a following quickly among both the local halal food community and smashburger enthusiasts across the northwest suburbs — including customers who make the drive specifically for the burgers.
Out Cold's Double Smashburger uses fresh-delivered beef that's never frozen, seasoned and smashed on the griddle with caramelized onions for a crispy-edged patty. Beef bacon makes it fully accessible to halal diners without sacrificing the classic bacon smashburger experience. The knockout sauce — a creamy Thousand Island-style house condiment — ties the whole build together. At $9.49 for a double and $7.49 for a single, Out Cold is one of the most affordable smashburgers in the Chicagoland area.
Ive tried smashburgers all over Chicago and these are the best ones hands down. They are packed with flavor, seasoned perfectly.
By far the best smash burger place ever. Fries are crispy, and the burgers are legendary.
Amazing Halal Burger Joint. The best in the Schaumburg area. Simple menu and reasonable prices.
Don't think there's a better burger in the Schaumburg area! Truly amazing patties and sauce.
Reasonably priced meal for two doubles and one order of fries, sauce on the side. Not a bad meal for around $22.
The burgers here are nothing special.
