Ate here a while back. I must say I was quite impressed. They have a nice selection of food. I had a gyro sandwich and it did not disappoint. It also came with fries and those were good too. I also tried their home made ginger ale. It was kinda fly but still good. Also, the prices for everything were pretty reasonable as well. The inside was nice and clean and the service was nice and friendly. Furthermore we were served pretty quickly as well. Parking might be hard to find unless you can find parking on the side streets or if you park in 53rd (which may require you to pay a parking meter) All-In-all it was a pretty good experience. Will probably head back again soon if I need a quick lunch. I might try their jerk chicken and beans and rice next time. read more

Food was delivered on time but the food was not quality at all. Onion rings had no onions inside the chili dogs were missing onions and the tamales were hard. Didn't get the cheesecake we ordered. When I called the restaurant they blamed everything on the delivery driver. Made no mention about the missing item read more

I've been to this place on several occasions and the food has always been hot, fresh and tasty. I mean what can you expect from a simple hole-in-the-wall type joint? The service is always prompt and the menu is expansive. I've only ordered hot dogs, burgers and fries so I can't pretend to know what their other food tastes like but I've been satisfied with all my previous orders. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high. Went here for lunch... I appreciate the mix of American and Jamaican foods. My 4 year refuses to eat anything aside from a hot dog. This place just so happen to offer me some curry chicken and her a hot do with fries. Maybe that should have been my first clue. I mean it wasn't the worst I've had, but it def is not the best. When I want Jamaican food, I guess Uncle Joes on 47 it is. read more

I loved the grilled chicken pita sandwich with grilled vegetables and a large lemonade. The delivery service is great.

This owner of this establishment is incredibly friendly. Their spiced rice and beans may not look like much, but it was seriously so good! I would definitely recommend this place if you ever need catering!!! read more

I normally LOOOOOVE coming here but after today i am DONE. I called to place an order the guy put me on hold for about 2 minutes finally came back to the phone I placed my order he asked me to repeat what I said I did and his response was I got other orders and you wanna take all day.... I let that slide only to get a call back saying that I gave the wrong address (I just used that address to get an Uber so clearly he took it down wrong) so I tried to use another address only for him to give me attitude yet again. Needless to say I cancelled the order and I ordered from another restaurant. read more

The food was not fresh and they have very poor customer service. First and last time I'll visit this establishment.

Ordered corned beef sandwich that was crazy dry with only like 4 pieces of corned beef so it was craaazy bland. Also a gyro that was extremely dry and old. A bread pudding that was completely Hav burned, as well as the sweet potato pie! Like come on! :-( Have pics to prove but can't attach here :-/ read more

Pump your brakes before venturing into this joint. Being a Hyde Parker for years, I had tried every restaurant in my neighborhood with the exception of Nathan's. Damn, what a mistake it was to go here last night. Ordered the 4-Piece Jerk Meal and what I got was just south of frightening. The chicken looked retarded, like it had Down-Syndrome or something. Who puts gravy on top of Jerk Chicken? What I got was a gross representation of authentic Jamaican cuisine, a complete fraud. The infused curry in the food was not appealing, the rice & beans looked awful, too afraid to even try it. Visually I give the meal no points, for taste I'll yield 1 star. Nathan's is not the spot for good Jamaican food, it's your typical run-of-the-mill fast food joint that also sells tacos, burritos, hamburgers and hot-dogs. I'm sorry, just can't vibe with Nathan's. read more

Me and my wife stopped by Nathan's for meal after work. I am a True Believer to have a great meal starts with the waitress. But I'll waitress seem very in personable. She came by our table all of three times the beginning middle and end. She seem to be more worried about what was going on on her cell phone and talking to the hostess. When the food came out it was okay but when I waitress brought our drinks she bumped the table and Spilled my drink all over me. Never saying sorry never ask her can she bring me another drink. By the end of the meal I was just ready to go I asked her for some peach cobbler to go she never brought it to the table and me and my wife walked out without it, having to only come back to pick it up. I will never go back to Nathan's for dinner or lunch. read more

FYI Torry, the Jamaican food IS prepared by a Jamaican. She opened the 1st Jamaican restaraunt in Chicago when it was on 87th St. BTW, A Taste of Jamaica is the name of the Jamaican restaraunt while Nathan's is the fast food joint (they share the space). read more

Went to Nathans on the way to the Museum of Science and Industry. This is a take-away restaurant. Purchased a Chicago Dog and Chicken Pita. Both were great. The place is having an identity crisis though. It's advertised as Nathan's Chicago Style but the sign on the window say's Nathan's Jamaica style, and when you go in there is an Italian food poster and the menu also has Mediterranean food. If you like this then I woukld suggest it. read more

do not patronize this restaurant!!! they will mess up your food and then they are too cheap to make it over. shitty customer service to customers who have been coming for years. food quality is not the same and the prices went up! read more

They're okay if you want something quick to eat with out much effort. I order a qtr ponder and fried plantain and beef patties. The taste was average. I wasn't too happy with the burgers appearance though. It looked a little soggy. read more

All I've had here is the curry goat -- it's great stuff and it comes in a huge portion; I actually had to spread it out over three separate meals! Maybe the curry goat is quite as good as the curry lamb at Rajun Cajun, but it's still very good, it's still cheaper, and it still comes as a huge amount of food. For my buck, very worthwhile place. read more

Just tried Nathan's for the first time. I will definitely go back. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, fries and a drink (the #4). The sandwich was quite good and the crinkle cut fries were of a good quality (some of the best in the area). The price was right and I can't wait to try some of the Jamaican menu options and the # 24 with grilled veggies. The ginger beer was spicy good and I bet it would go great with some jerk chicken. The gyro my bf got was good, not great. Good service. I would definitely suggest you try Nathan's if you are looking for good, cheap food and can't bear the thought of another fantastically greasy meal from Hyde Park gyro. read more

I only get the steak fajita pita or the chicken pita w/grilled veggies. Make sure you try the ranch sauce( its hot ranch sauce and makes the chicken pita sooo good.) Fries are good but you have to request them fresh. read more

don't bother going out of your way to eat here unless you live in hyde park. that in mind i guess the rating is relative to eating gyros the gyros aren't amazing but it's affordable and you can't really get them elsewhere (well you probably can idk) in hyde park since hyde park gyros closed. i had a hamburger here once and it was below average. the gyros are okay. i guess if you really want a gyro and you live in hyde park, get it here. otherwise like, whatever read more

I've only had the chicken with rice.... But it's tough to go against it. Healthy & delicious, must try it

I ordered for them to deliver to my hotel and everythng was horrible. EVERYTHING. The roast beef sanfwich? Soggy and tough to chew beef. The chicken wings I ordered was fried chicken with hot sauce on the side. And the sweet potato pie with whipped creme was falling apart,and thewhipped cream looked like it was put on like water-did not stand up at all! Horrible all the way around. Based on reviews, seems like they are paying people off! read more

I've never been to the actual Nathan's restaurant on 53rd Street, but I used to order delivery from it all the time. It's one of the local Hyde Park restaurants on the CampusFood.com network, so ordering from there was always as simple as clicking a few buttons and waiting for the delivery guy to show up at my apartment. The food from Nathan's isn't something that I would eat every day, but it did serve its purpose. Whenever my friends and I wanted a meal that was greasy, filling, and of course, cheap --- we knew we could count on Nathan's. In all the times that I've ordered from there, they've only messed up my order once, which is impressive, considering the experiences I've had at other places. That's right, Little Wok, I'm looking at you... read more

Really disappointing pattys. If you're looking for a fast food joint, burger and fires sort of thing you can get it here, but don't expect much from their "Jamaican" cuisine. I dropped by today and got two pattys. Basically they just threw them in the microwave, so that had that "a little over microwaved" heat and dampness. Not gonna do that again. read more

Only had the jamaican stuff. Wanted to try something different. The food had a lot of flavor but the sandwich was nothing spectacular and not really much fish in there. Tried some of the appetizers which were again lacking in appearance and size but had a lot of spice. They have diversity in the menu, but just nothing remarkable that would make me say I'll try it again to see if there's other stuff on the menu I'd like more. Too bad because I wanted a jamaican place. read more

I ordered the chicken and rice bowl from Nathan's off GrubHub earlier today for pick up. It was hot, ready at the stated time, and it was delicious! This was my first time having Nathan's, but I've had coworkers speak so highly of it that I decided to try it. I wasn't disappointed. read more

I've been eating at Nathan's for several years. I always get the chicken and veggies over rice. It never lets me down. Recently I explored different items on the menu and was just as satisfied. The chicken/shrimp Alfredo was great. My children love their burgers and fries. The food is cooked fresh and in a timely fashion. read more

When I want a good burger and fries, I go to Nathan's. They are the best affordable burger in the neighborhood. Their fries are nice and crispy and fat :) Their Jamaican food ain't bad either. 2 enthusiastic thumbs up with a side of NOMNOMNOM! read more

This is a greasy spoon with some healthy options! For example, Beans & Rice for $2.50!

Great location, Great Food, Good price. The Grilled Chicken Pita is really good.

I've been eating here for years. The chicken pitas and burgers are good. They're friendly when I go in and fast when I order delivery. They're double cheeseburger just hit the spot. read more

The hotdogs are delicious along with the burgers. My only complaint but not worthy of losing stars over it is the tortillas fall apart when received for delivery. Perhaps they could find another way to wrap the tacos without allowing it to get soggy. No pictures were available since it was a challenge not to gobble it all down the moment it came through our door! read more

I went to Jamaica Jamaica on 7 Mile missing THIS place. Been going here for years and it's always good. I've had everything from the pattys to the full dinners always with the largest Ginger Beer they can give me. If I even think I am beginning to get sick I drive to Hyde Park and get the largest amount of Ginger Beer they are willing to part with (I call ahead.) I always carry out but will devour numerous pattys @ the counter, in the car and seldom have any left when arriving home. You should try this place, I hope it never shuts... read more

Jack of all trades neighborhood walk-in spot. If you want Jerk Chicken, a Gyros, a Steak Burrito and Hotdog then this is your one stop shop. Can't say they focus on any one of the various food types exceedingly well but good enough to keep people coming back since I can remember. read more

Absolutely horrible experience! Staff was rude & the Jerk Shrimp Alfredo was mediocre...It was my first & LAST time I will ever go there.

I enjoy Nathan's food. Their hamburgers, corndogs, french fries, jerk chicken...it's all pretty good, especially when you're in the mood for junk food. But I have to warn you: when you make delivery orders, they will probably be wrong. Nathan's REGULARLY puts condiments on their sandwiches that you specifically request not having. Occasionally, you will be missing part of your order when it arrives. Frequently, the order will come in anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour after you were told it would arrive. Recently, an order was late by an hour, I called, and was told it would be there in ten minutes -- another hour later, I was still waiting. Never once has the restaurant offered any sort of compensation for these frequent and abysmal failures of their delivery services. So, while I recommend the food, I'd recommend going there yourself. Relying on their staff for delivery is asking to be met with incompetence -- you will NOT get what you paid for except on rare occasions. Buyer beware. read more

Awesome jerk chicken! Delicious burgers! Customer Service? ... That can be hit or miss... Otherwise, a fabulous experience!

Great food bad service I ask for no ice and he put ice anyway than I said I ack for no ice the man preceded to tell me you need to tell me first than I ask for my Oder to be in the same bag that he told me no I don't what them in the same bag I'm a grown ass man you can't tell me what you going to do with the food I paid for read more

Nathan's is a go to place for me and my daughter for their Grilled Chicken Pita sandwich. They seem to have a lot of other stuff... burgers, hot dogs, curried goat, etc. but I've never tried it! I love the grilled chicken pita with the greasy fries. It comes with well seasoned dark meat chicken, sauteed veggies and a healthy dose of those not so healthy fries. Simple, quick and tasty. Along with their home made ginger beer, it's a great snack. On the days when I am more abstemious, I opt for the grilled chicken salad... green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, comes with the grilled chicken (another healthy portion) wrapped separately in foil w/a choice of dressings. I always ask them to add grated cheese. It's a good salad, always fresh! Maybe they'd get more stars if I tried the other dishes, or maybe I'd subtract a star, who knows! My review has tunnel vision, I'll admit it but no one does chicken pita better for the price! read more

I ordered two hog dogs and bacon cheese fries....Everything was horrible!!!! The hot dogs did not taste fresh at all; the dog seemed tough. The bacon was not coked to crisp and the fries were not done all the way through...I will never visit this location again and I suggest you run like hell at the thought of this place!!!!! read more

Food is pretty good, a little over priced for regular America food. Service is always rude. Never a smile, thank you - or any of the staff trying to be helpful. Chicken with vegetables over rice, French fries and lemonade are really good. Customer service could stand to be really improved. read more
