"The seating area is quite small, consisting only of a bar, and it tends to get very cold on chilly days. There is some outdoor seating available, but it feels more like a take-out spot. With that in mind, don’t hesitate to spend your money here—the food is absolutely fantastic! The staff were polite and patient with our questions. We all ordered something different, and the sounds of deliciousness filled the air. We squeezed four of us into what I believe is space meant for six, but we managed just fine. I tried the Maxwell Street Polish. While I’ve never been to Maxwell Street, this Polish is outstanding! I never expected a pimple to pair with a sausage, but it works remarkably well. I also ordered a side of onion rings; they’re not the best I’ve had, but they’re still very good. I definitely wouldn’t get a second order since I was still hungry. Overall, it was a great experience. Definitely eat here!"

Great food if you are in a hurry or do not feel like cooking at a great price. Friends are always on point and crunchy! The owner is friendly and nice and tries to get a conversation while you order.

Delicious Chicago style fast food with generous portions. Very authentic, right down to the narrow counter where one may employ the Chicago Lean (Google it if you don 't know what that is) to avoid wearing most of your meal.

Very reasonable price with fast serving. The triple gyro meal provides lots of gyro meat and sauce, which tasted delicious. However, the fries is a bit greasy for me and you are most likely have to order to-go since its a tiny place.

The gyros and Italian beef are excellent. The cheesesteaks are also really tasty. Their fries are among the best in town, and you get a generous portion. The service is consistently fast and friendly. With daily specials, it's quite affordable, and you can also save with their vouchers from "Fist Full of Dollars." View menu

If you're a regular, the staff will recognize you, treat you exceptionally well, and even engage in conversation. The restaurant is small, so don’t expect a lot of space. The delivery services have improved, and the service is quick. Regulars might even receive some extras. This place is one of the best spots in the city for Italian beef. If you're looking for the best value for meat, order a triple gyro; you'll get so much meat that there won't be enough pita to eat it all!
