DOORDASH REVIEW! Oh…read moremy gosh. Are you kidding me? I am 32 years old have been eating Greek food for a lot of my life and come from Utah...what the actual &$%* was I eating before?! I got the Gyro taco and steak taco with sides of garlic sauce and tzatziki and pita chips. The tacos are insane they're filled generously and smell amazing but looking at them I'm definitely going to have to save one, I eat the steak first and was in heaven. It's seasoned perfectly and in my head I'm seeing colors explode like from Ratatouille and I finish the whole thing but then I just can't leave Miss Gyro looking all dressed up and what the heck..Hands down the best Greek food of my life. My first and favorite Greek in Chicagoland from now on! My only regret is not getting the chicken, rice and hummus. I cannot wait to visit in person, even my 2yo was a fan!

The Classic Mr. Submarine is my favorite and always my go-to. It's the sub I keep coming back for and, to me, it's what Mr. Submarine is all about. If you're really hungry, the grilled chicken is another great choice--it comes with a very generous amount of meat. Even the regular-size subs are filling and a good portion. Prices are very reasonable, the restaurant is clean, and the service is friendly and fast. It's also a great place to stop when you're in a crunch and need something good and quick. Mr. Submarine is a Chicago-area classic, and this location never disappoints. Definitely recommend trying the Classic Mr. Submarine! Thank you

After getting checked in at the hotel and unpacked in the hotel room, I ended up looking on UberEats for restaurants in the area.

You can order a chicken sandwich, the Byrd Bowl (diced chicken tender, cheese, slaw etc..), Tenders, French Fries, Mac N Cheese, Cake Shake, Chicken Nuggets, and so much more! I ended up ordering the following from Byrd's Hot Chicken [2] Chicken sandwiches: Plain, with pickles and cheese. Mac N Cheese Side The UberEats order took about 30 minutes. The meal was still hot and the chicken was super crispy when it arrived at the hotel! I opened up the bag and couldn't believe how much Mac N Cheese was in the container! There was so much! The Mac N Cheese was delicious!! It was perfectly seasoned and loaded with cheese! The chicken sandwiches were my favorite though! The chicken was juicy and tender. The breading on the chicken was so crispy and yummy! The pickles and cheese was a good addition to the chicken sandwich! This was one of my favorite chicken sandwiches that I've had in a long time! I might have to come back here one more time before I fly back to Las Vegas!

I liked the burger and the curly fries. They have a very large menu. The logistics of getting in and out of Schmale rd.as well as the pain points of going in for counter service rates a one-star rating for me. I did not figure in these factors into my rating. My best advice is to avoid going into the restaurant to order at the counter or to eat in the restaurant. There is no room to wait for your order to be prepared. The self serve beverage station and the order kiosks are right in the middle of where people wait for their order to be done. So it is continually "Excuse me..Excuse me..Sorry, I'm in your way." The restaurant was fully staffed and the workers were very nice. The ambiance of the eating area is poor. The booths have padding on the back but there is no padding on the seat. So you are sitting on a hard slap of formica. And of course if it is crowded, you may experience the overflow of people waiting for their counter order just hanging around your table. That is why I advise doing drive-through. I liked the food enough to try a different location. Getting and eating at a fast food place should not be this difficult.

VERY DISSAPOINTING EXPERIENCE!…read more I ordered online for a company group lunch. I put in the order 2 days in advance for pick up at the Willowbrook location. Unfortunately, we experienced several problems with the order. Out of 14 lunches ordered, 8 had an issue. - The 4 powerhouse salads were missing the grilled chicken, and 2 were missing the extra avocado which were all paid for. - 1 of the salad was missing the feta cheese that has been requested and paid for. - 1 order has the wrong sandwich in the bag. - 2 lunches were initially missing from the pick-up package, requiring us to go back to the restaurant and tell the staff about it. Given this was an almost $200 order and half of the individual lunches had an issue, the number of errors was disappointing and disrupted our office lunch. This issue was sent to the customer service on the same day of the incident, but I did not receive any feedback. I hope the management will do something about this. Please reach out to me.

Maybe the bread wasn't fresh, the lunch meat tasted processed, or the quality just wasn't consistent. Tony & Tina's Deli is the first place that has truly become my go-to. I absolutely love their subs, especially the Brayden. I always order the large, and it's packed with so much fresh meat that I can give a generous portion of the turkey to my toddler as a snack and still have a full sandwich left for myself. That's saying something! Their potato salad is also outstanding. It tastes homemade, not like something scooped out of a mass-produced container. It's exactly the kind of potato salad you picture enjoying on a hot summer day. What really sets Tony & Tina's apart is the customer service. The owners genuinely care about their customers. I've only had one issue, and it wasn't even their fault. It was a delivery service problem. They personally responded and made sure everything was handled professionally and promptly. If you haven't been there yet, give them a try. Grab a sandwich, check out the desserts, and if you're feeling lucky, they even have gaming machines.
