LOVE MR D'S!!! When I spent time serving overseas this was that sacred ' first meal when I get home' meal...shish ka-bob sandwich, extra lemon, and their #2 rated fries in the Redeye last year....squeeze one lemon wedge on the sandwhich and one wedge on the fries, ketchup, and watch OUT!! read more

Hands down the best value steak sandwich in Chicago! If you want a good ribeye steak sandwich this is the place. People are friendly and the food is outstanding! Everything is flame grilled and tasty. This is definitely a carnivore's paradise. read more

I've been coming here a few times a year for at least 15 years. Only had steak sandwich and burgers every time I go. Best steak sandwich money could buy and burgers are probably the best I've ever had as well and I eat out almost every day. It is a local chicago gem that not too many know about and is frequented by cops and construction workers as early as 10am. If you're one of those people that only dine in nicely decorated fast food joints than this isn't the place for you. I personally love this place and always look forward to eating there. Friendly service as well. read more

this place is pretty secluded, if you don't know what you're looking for, you might just drive past it and think, what a run down place in the middle of a residential hood. but the kabob sammy, oh, it's so good. juicy and tender, with the squeeze of lemon.... the fries are very good too. i would prefer them a bit more crispy, but they are tender and soft in the center. simple menu for great fast food. read more

All you have to do is follow the smell! This little shack is family run and is a diamond in a ruff! Their menu is limited with the basic burger, hot dogs and fries. The must try item here is the skirt steak sandwich, it's seasoned just right and grilled to tender perfection and topped off with a side of yummy greasy fries! If that's what your craving then Mr. D's won't disappoint and you won't be able to find a better fast food joint in the area! read more

Named Chicago's best fries for good reason. A real original. No frills but all good food. They don't make em like this anymore.

The cashier also helps to cook and doesn't even wash her hands or wear gloves while touching money.

Drove all the way from Bartlett to have a steak sandwich on Saturday (today). Based on the information posted they should be open from 10am until 5pm. Well at 1:30pm this afternoon they were closed!!!! I don't know if they have gotten so much business from being on "Chicago's Best TV" that they don't need to open on the weekends. BUT, if they have changed their hours, it would be nice if they make the changes to the postings!!!!!!! That way I don't have to drive between 1.5 and 2 hours FOR NOTHING!!!!! Ended up driving to Booby's for a steak sandwich which was good. Cannot say if Mr D's steak sandwich is better or not....... BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED!!!!!! read more

Wow- simple and really good- I had the steak sandwich which was probably sirloin on a french roll, onion and tomato- really great flavor from the grill and fresh cut fries. Best fries I've had in a while. No frills here, its all about the sandwich- My friend had the Shish kabob sandwich and she loved it, I had a bite too and it had a really nice flavor. If you want a really good sandwich and fries in an old school setting this is for you. read more

I love this restaurant it is basically lunch and early dinner sandwiches only. They primarily have a neighborhood and local businesses clientele they have been around about 40 years. The fries are the best anywhere and i eat out a lot. The meats are grilled really tasty. I love the combos and burgers big and tasty. But what brought me here 20 yrs ago was the steak sandwiches juicy tender and seasoned just right. The Chilis excellent. It's run by mom, pop and son they are the friendliest people. read more

The husband and wife who run the place are wonderfulpeople they make you feel warm and welcome and the food is great. However the s o n does not know anyting about the restaurant he always looks so miserable and is rude I don't think if the parents retire that place will survive. If you can't stand the Heat get out of the kitchen. read more

Amazing. Such a good kabob and homemade fries. You can taste the flame broil in the meat and the fries seem to be made fresh. My toddler kept asking for "More, more, more!" Warning: they don't take plastic, which I didn't know. We were a little bit short with the cash we had on hand but they gave it to us anyway. They've just made a loyal customer after one transaction! Love this place! read more

I have been in this Brickyard area for many years and just cannot say anything bad. Great Fresh Hand Cut Fries not frozen and the Food is always Fresh and Cooked to order. Order ahead if you don't want to wait. Seen on Chicago's Best!!!!! I just enjoyed the beef sandwich and I have had many of the items off the menu. I always recommend this place to those near by. read more

Mr D's is a great place for fast and VERY GOOD food. The Kabobs are my #1 choice followed closely by the Burgers & Chili Dogs And--- the Fries are the best - and fresh cut ! ! Is it the Ritz --- NO... Are there waiters in Tuxes--- NO Is it good food -- YES A note to John D -- the poster that gave the bad rating to Mr D's..... I've been going to Mr D's for almost 25 years and NEVER EVER got sick. I wish i could say that about a half dozen other local places I've ate at. read more

Shish kabob sandwich thebest in the area. A must, steak sandwich average. Fries amazing. First yelp review. No credit cards. Prices little rippish Shish kabob sandwich w fries 6.80 w tax included read more

Been going to this place ever since i was 11. Burgers and the steak sandwich are a must if going here. Best fries in the city imo. Friends that have moved out of state and return to chi beg to go there. Only negative are the hours. Only open til 6 pm if im correct. Go here! read more

Mr.D's is 5-star worthy hands down one of thee greatest sandwiches i have ever eaten in my life!I don't even know where to begin really.The steak sandwich was cooked perfectly.Tender,charred,juicy and very very flavorful.The fries are great to.I feel almost shameful that I didn't know about this hidden treasure until a few days ago.The sandwich was so good,It made me want to smack my girlfriend!I literally tried to bite her hand off for trying to steal some of my steak sandwich.I wanted to savor every bite of this sandwich all by myself no sharing.IMO if you love steaks or steak sandwiches,Mr.D's is an absolute must try.I went to bed dreaming about eating another steak sandwich you know that's not even right. read more

This place, like they claim, has got to be the best sandwich in the city! The shish kabob is second to none. Nowhere in Greektown or any other place that serves kabobs can come close. They add more sauce right before they serve it and you squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top...it all blends together. The fries are fresh cut and double fried, making the kabob even better. The double cheeseburger beats most places as well. Quality in this hole in the wall is top notch. The family is all about quality of food and not so much the looks. Another thing too, if I do eat in, they are not cheap with the air conditioner like so many place are these days. The temp inside is always pleasent. Oh, and they serve my favorite drink...ice cold Dr. Pepper in the can. Mr D's rocks! read more

Very unsanitary place the owner/cook don't use any glove, the phone rang he answers it and didn't wash his hands after he was done he returned back to preparing food then his wife was helping him with the cashiering touching money and not wash her hands before going back to preparing the food. When preparing food for the public you should always wear gloves and make sure to wash your hands before returning back to your work station. Look people you don't have to believe me but if you are a customer the next time you are in that restaurant just check it out for your self. read more

Hands down the best steak sandwich in Chicago. They keep it real simple with a grilled piece of seasoned steak (i think its skirt), tomato and onion. This place is a true hidden gem. I lived near this place for years and never went in because it looks like a hole in the wall that tosses frozen meat on a flat top and frozen fries into a deep fryer. This is a hole in the wall however fresh cut fries, and literally THE BEST STEAK SANDWICH I have ever had. read more

I'm not a greasy food fan, but this place has amazing steak sandwiches. For like $7-8, it's pretty cheap too. That's really all you need to know. read more

Love hole in the wall places like this. Menu is small, but they certainly deliver in quality. As mentioned, the Steak Sandwich was awesome, well seasoned, tender and flavorful and was complimented perfectly by the fresh bun. Need to go back asap to try the Shish Kabobs. read more

Went for the first time today. Had the shish-kabob sandwich. It was so delicious. Grilled to perfection and the pork was tender and flavorful. Will definitely go back! read more

One of the best if not the best steak sandwiches I've had. The fresh cut fries are awesome. The Shish kabob and burgers are great too. One of the best food spots around the neighborhood. Not too expensive either. read more

I have been going to Mr Ds for what has to be 20-30 years. Food is still the same as the first time I walked in. I moved away from the neighborhood 15 years ago, and each time I come to visit family, Mr. Ds is a must to stop at. Steak sandwich is awesome, probably the BEST fresh cut fries in the state. read more

Great little neighborhood spot!! No frills, just good ol' burgers, beefs, etc. I'll be back to try the infamous steak sandwich!

I don't know how many times I would have passed this place up and written it off as another greasy fast food place, had I not tried it some years ago due to a recommendation. Don't let the nondescript appearance of Mr. D's fool you into thinking this is just another kabob place. From the outside, the tiny establishment is stark white and plain. It's no better on the inside, with its four or five small tables and no decor of any kind. But there's always people coming and going, and very often there's a fairly long line of customers savoring the delicious steak sandwiches, kabob sandwiches, and any other of the 4 or 5 other items on the menu. Personally, for me, it's all about the steak sandwiches. They are so good, and they, like all sandwiches, come with hand-cut fries that are fried in a mixture of 50% tallow and 50% vegetable oil. The prices are a wee bit on the steep side (it's about 8 bucks for a steak sandwich, fries, and a can of RC), but believe me, it's worth it. For what it lacks in hipster-attraction flair, it makes up with old-school, no-frills service and atmosphere. BTW: CASH ONLY. There is no ATM here that I'm aware of, and you have to pay after you eat, so make sure you bring the green paper! read more

You can not go wrong walking into mr d's for lunch or dinner! Kabob sandwhich is the best and steak sandwhich is amazing too!! Never had a bad thing to eat there. Also their French fries were voted top 3 by the Chicago trib!! To sum it up great food, great owner a real Chicago tradition!!! read more

The fries are beyond amazing the burgers and stakes sandwiches are on point every time. No seasoned fries but they are better than five guys. read more

Yes. Best steak sandwiches ever. Just look around at the crowd and you'll know, these guys know how to eat. Try to get there later in the afternoon. These guys like to roll in around 11 on weekdays. read more

Mr D's Shish Kabobs - Mr. D cooking up some steak - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is definitely one of my favorite mom & pop/fast food joints in the city! The quality of the sandwiches is top notch.. the steak sandwich, by far, is one of the best I've had; so tasty and juicy! The place is run and owned by husband and wife for over 20 years perhaps 30+. The place is small and simple and is here for one purpose... to serve real good fast food, quick! The place gets real busy during lunch time, no surprise! Loooooove this place. read more

If there where more stars to give, I would. This place is awesome! There steak sandwhiches are the bomb which is usually what I get when I go here. read more

Double cheese burger, or the Steak sandwich, both with grilled onions, are just about perfect. The fresh cut fries only add to the experience. A local boys favorite. read more

I wish I knew abou this place when I was pregnant! I work literally blocks away at the Brickyard. I wo,uld never have thought to eat here because of how unassuming the place looks. Plain white box of a building with tinted windows! Their fries are AMAZING, long and fresh, cut on the premises and fried perfectly. I LOVE their ribeye steak sandwich. There's usually a line of people and only a few tables. They jokingly call the table by the door my table. I would give this place 10 stars. It is run by Mike a.k.a. Mr D, and his wife and son. Cash only. read more

Stopped in on a Monday, and the place had a lot of foot traffic, many regulars coming in for their fix of either the steak sandwich or cheeseburger... I had the kabob - it's pork grilled to perfection. Four (maybe five?) large chunks of the tenderest, no grizzle, no fat tenderloin made into a sandwich with onion and tomato. I will admit the 'char' flavor was just a tad strong, but nonetheless it was a delicious sandwich. Very good fries, akin to Gene & Jude's. My son had the steak sandwich which I will admit was AMAZING. great flavor, super tender, again - no grizzle or fat, just thin slices of perfectly cooked meat on a delicious bun with grilled onions and tomato. We both left with full bellies for $15.99, which includes two cherry RC colas... the only drawback is that it's open only till 6 during the week, good thing I live close! read more

I love the nondescript exterior and the classic vibe of the place. The shish-kabob I got was great. It was tender, juicy and filling, grilled fresh right it front of me. Prices aren't too bad either, all sandwiches are under $7.50, and they include a fair amount of fries. read more

Best Steak Sandwich around! Fries are awesome too. I've never tried the shish kabob or anything else, frankly. It's like a steak sandwich version of Genes and Jude's. Brings back memories of my younger years. Whole area around the place smells great. read more

Awesome kabob sammiches.. Small menu but Everything is great! The only down side is that they close too early!
