    Wings
    Dylan P.

    Great spot! *Disclaimer*- I don't know "good" Chicago food. I'm not a native Chicago guy and I didn't even know what food Chicago was famous for. I work with someone who told me Italian beef is the go to in Chicago so when I saw this place I was excited to try it. Again I don't know the standard for good Italian beef but I really liked this. Place was very clean and well put together. I can always appreciate the sports memorabilia all over the walls. Really cool place and loved the food.

    Cheesy Meatball and Garlic Bread

    A bit noisy but we did catch it at peak lunchtime. The food was delicious though! My cheesy meatball sub was awesome and my mother said her chicken Philly sub was great too The service was fast and they were very polite.

    Ridiculously disappointed as I love Chicago food. I called at 1:46 pm to order an Italian beef and pizza puff. Told me it would take 45 mins to an hour, called at 2:33 to ask if it was ready, said it wasn't. Gave them some more time and got to the restaurant at 3:15 only to be told that they never even started making it. The restaurant was empty except for one guy that was dining in. Disappointing because I was looking forward to it, and waited out for them to support their business. Hopefully they get their act together because at this rate, they'll lose customers fast.

    This is a hidden gem! Definitely get food here if you are debating!!!!! Love all the Chicago paintings on the walls!!! The people that work here are awesome!! They are good people that appreciate their customers. We made it there with only one person ahead of us, but when we left, the line was out the door! We had a group order and they nailed every bite!!!! We had pizza pockets, Italian beefs, breaded mushrooms, fried ravioli, spaghetti, a burger, gyro, and wings. Definitely get a pizza pocket!!! The spaghetti has a bit of a kick in it. The wings are spicy, but good. The gyro is freshly cut and the pita was super fresh!!! Can't wait to get back there for more food!!!!

    Register

    First time here with my family and the girl at the register was on her phone the whole time and seemed bothered when we had questions about the menu items. When I asked to add something that was on the menu, she made a face like why would I ask that, plus didn't help she didn't speak clearly. Total disappointment...go to Zorba Cafe and don't make my mistake !!!

    Chicago Beef Italian Sausage sandwich and Rib Tips

    Great food! The Chicago Beef and Italian Sausage sandwich are great! Try it and the rib tips.

    Well if you are expecting something comparable to Portillo's then this is not the place for you. They do not use Vienna beef and it just wasn't very good. This was the driest dipped sandwich I have ever had. The place looks like a converted hastily changed chicago themed restaurant. Though it was nice to see Illinois' sports teams represented again, the chicago mural is an atrocity. Also when we arrived the tea machine was was pouring water into an overflowing 5 gallon bucket on the seating area and one of the workers started spraying cleaner right around us which made the experience even more unpleasant. All and all if you are not from the Chicagoland area and you don't have any expectations this place might be a 3 but we were disappointed and will not be returning.

    Polish Sausage burned and dry.
    Torita M.

    My family and I visited this restaurant for the first time and we were extremely disappointed and disgusted by the food. The food is not authentic Chicago food. We ordered the Italian beef, polish sausage, 10pc wing dinner, 4pc chicken tender dinner and a pizza puff. I asked before ordering if the Italian beef is cooked in-house from scratch and was told yes but it was the store bought kind, it tasted mediocre and they gave you very little meat. The polish sausage was burned and smelled weird. The wings were suppose to be tossed in honey hot sauce but were dry and the sauce was under the wings. The chicken tenders tasted like fish, I assume they use the same oil to fry everything. The pizza puff was the frozen kind and was dark and oily. The fries were absolutely Disgusting!! This was the absolute worst food experience I've had in a very very long time. Please be aware they advertise authentic Chicago food but it is far from it.

    employees no mask

    Poor health standards, the cashier handles food after handling cash without washing her hands with no mask on the entire time. The dishwasher was also handling food with no mask. The cooks wore there masks under the nose. They are going to get someone sick, and i had high expectations of this place because of others reviews. I will not be visiting this place again.

    My new favorite gyro place!! I'm obsessed!! The location is less than desirable (I would have never known it was there!), but the food is SO good!! I ordered a gyro plate which came with a salad, a drink, french fries, and a gyro. The salad was basic, but a good size for what you're paying for, the strawberry smoothie was WAY better than I anticipated. You could taste the strawberries and crushed ice in the smoothie, I was so pleasantly surprised. As for the french fries, they were so good I could eat them for days!! I don't know what they did to make therm so good... but man... delicious! To top of the fries, instead of ketchup, I tried their dipping sauce. It tasted like the yum yum you'd get at a hibachi restaurant, and it was PERFECT with the fries! And lastly the gyro. This gyro was so large that I couldn't finish it in one sitting. The meat was juicy, but not greasy, and full of flavor. It was served with a few pieces of pita, tomatoes, onions, and what seemed to be homemade cucumber sauce. All fresh ingredients. They were clean (I saw them wiping down tables), and they were fast, and SUPER friendly! This is hands down where I'll be going for gyros in the future! I paid $30 for 3 meals. Worth it? Absolutely!! Parking is free, and lots of available spaces.

    Probably the closest thing in middle Tennessee. Try the Italian Beef sausage combo with cheese and hot and sweet peppers. You'll thank me.

    Very good food! The people who run this place are super nice too. I'm a fan of the Chicago style hot dog. Being from Chicago - that's huge!

    Food was good. Nice to have another choice besides franchise burgers or tacos. I would rather support locally owned places anyway.

    Two Brothers Pizzeria & Restaurant - Kid's spaghetti

    We were looking for good pasta in the area and stopped in. We ordered the zucchini sticks, garlic…read morebread with cheese, and the lobster and shrimp vodka pasta. It was all fresh and fantastic. There is a lot of variety on the menu and we will be back.

    I ordered from door dash, and I'm really disappointed with this order. We got fettuccine alfredo,…read moretacos, wings, a burrito, a calzone, mozzarella and zucchini sticks, for dessert we got tiramisu and cannoli. The fettuccine alfredo had barely any sauce, was mostly oil, and the noodles were crisp on the ends. The taco didn't come with the cucumber, or the pepper that was shown in the original photo, the meat was very dry, and they gave 2 dried out limes, didn't taste like it had seasoning and the only thing you could taste was the cilantro. The burrito had a large amount of sour cream even though we specifically requested NO sour cream. The mozzarella sticks were bad, and the zucchini sticks were undercooked. The tiramisu we got was FROZEN, and the cannoli tasted nothing like it should, they forgot our drink (sweet tea) but gave us the straw for it. They also gave us a zip lock bag filled with what looked like coleslaw that smelt rancid, and there was a long black hair in the tacos, the sauce they gave for the tacos was good but in one of the containers there was something floating in the sauce, looked white. Only the wings were somewhat acceptable. I rarely give bad reviews, but this order didn't meet expectations at all, especially for the price. You can find the photos on my account, they didn't link to the review for some reason?
