The food here is fantastic, especially the gyros—they’re my favorite! The restaurant is clean and well-lit, creating a welcoming atmosphere. What truly sets this place apart is the service. The gentleman at the counter is always incredibly friendly and polite, making every visit a pleasure. As a bonus, the prices are very reasonable. I always enjoy coming here and highly recommend it!

First time back in Illinois after some years. Literally was just seeing what was new in the area and seen this. Immediately pulled up. Haven't had babas in a good minute. They still don't miss. Lemonade was fire. Right along with them chicken wings, fries, mild sauce and lemon pepper. They getting stingy though because I couldn't put my own mold sauce like back in the day.

I ordered the shrimp basket here and the shrimp was surprisingly delicious. It was tender, but not too much and the batter was crunchy. It came with fries and two slices of bread as well. It took a while to prepare but the food came hot. They like to put a lemon pepper powder on things which I personally don't mind, but other people might not like it. The atmosphere was simple and clean. Overall it was worth it.

Food is fine but the lady at the register is not polite at all. She is busy in taking calls in her mobile phone and while trying to ask a question, she just gestured rudely to wait. I understand needs to take a call but rude gestures can be avoided. Also, while picking up food, similar emotion was portrayed. Being polite and a courteous smile won’t hurt.

Don’t over hype this place is absolutely sucks not just because I got sick from eating here and threw up, but also because I had to witness the cashier front register man yell violently at his employee. It was honestly sad to see so I am never coming back, definitely not worth it and I have also gotten better wings than this place offers.

Very greasy and overpriced. Service and people are good but that still doesn’t make up for the rest. My suggestion would be to Not get the “crispy” version of sandwiches. That is Extremely greasy and feels awful inside after you eat it (speaking from experience of course). If you do go here, try their regular Philly cheesesteak which is decent.

Request led mild sauce only got hot. Burger has no flavor. Cookies are 6$ for no good reason. Definitely not official Chicago food not a location to return too

So when I walked in I had to ask what was a crispy gyro. I love gyros. So she advised me the best way to eat a gyro. So they fry the gyro sandwich with tomato, peppers, and onions and some sort of cheese. Looked good when it came out. After taking 1st bite I knew right then I would never order that again. It was so greasy from the fryer. The meat had a weird after taste. The fries were cold. Yes it was dine in. Only good thing was the bottle A&w root beer. Not for me. Also while I was there the employee was screaming on the phone mad at someone. Need to take that to a private area. No need for me to hear that. Just FYI.
