You can skip Portillo's line and get your butt here! Great Stan Polish! and other foods! Great family business! Down to earth and just good ol' chicago feel. read more

I had the Gyro Plate last night and it was PHENOMENAL!!! FIRST off and most importantly, the lamb is Kronos (if you know only one thing about gyros, know that Kronos is the leading supplier of premium gyros in the USA) which I definitely prefer but don't always expect. SECOND, the pita was perfect...soft in the middle, crispy on the outside, and not oily. THEN their HOMEMADE Tzatziki sauce is really, really good and I'll even say...second to none! Lastly, all the "extras" like the rice, tomatos, and grilled onions were fresh and delicious. Lastly, this place has super friendly customer service and a VERY generously priced menu (too generous if you ask me-esp for being in Niles)...I put them in my top two and will be a lifetime customer. read more

While my mouth said yes yes, my body and well being afterwards said no no. I ordered gyros there thinking it they would be like any other Chicago hotdog/gyros place. After ordering them I should have noticed the red flags, such as the gyros being DOUSED in grease and the fries being as stale as a month old bagel. Silly me continued to eat both and finish my meal. The several days after that ensued were as if they came out of a horror film. It felt as if Hercules clobbered me in the stomach and I was left to rot in a desert. Never again will I venture to this food poisoning factory. read more

Ordered hot dogs, gyros and fries. The food was just awful. The gyros meat was greasy and flavorless. The hot dogs were boiled beyond recognition and rubbery. Disappointing that such fast food staples were below par. read more

Very disappointed in the portion size, seems like they like to load the plate with fries to make it look like they are giving you a lot of food. But in reality the item you have ordered, is a really small portion. This has happened to me twice, I will not be returning for a third time. read more

Good burger, average fries (and cheese fries), oh and look! They have pop...so. I wish there were more to say about this place. Honestly it's not a bad place to stop by and have a bite to eat, it's got average prices for independent burger joints in the area. However, there's nothing out of the ordinary YEAH or BOO about this place, it's just...a place. In fact, it's Papa Chris Place. read more

We tried going here late one evening and as we were exiting our vehicle someone came out and told us they just shut off the grill. :( Being determined we returned the next evening. Come to find out it wasn't staff that came out to tell us it was closed it was a customer... nice customers here! The staff here was super-friendly too and we couldn't be more excited to see an ambulance pull in so they could grab something to eat. If anyone knows the good places it's them right!? I ordered a gyro and fries to eat-in. The gyro was quite good. TONS of meat, fresh pita and flavorful sauce and a generous order of fries. My friend ordered the spinach pie, which I guess was a mistake since she is from Greece and knows the good from bad. Unfortunately this tasted like it was made from frozen spinach... bitter and bitter could be. She also ordered the balkava which was better than the pie. I will return here, they were such nice people and my meal was very good and a good value too, I just will not be ordering the spinach pie. :) read more

Love the gyros and curly fries. Great milk shakes. Fast, friendly service. My favorite place for take-out.

I stopped by this place, based on the good reviews and tried the Gyro and Hot dog. The Gyro was a bit too greasy and the meat I felt wasn't as tender as some of the other places I been to. The fries were a bit overcooked and just wasn't all that. The Hot dog was decent but average. read more

Tremendous service excellent place very clean and roomy and food is delicious awesome customer service

You would be hard pressed to find a place that treats you any nicer than they do at Papa Chris' and the food is delicious.

Papa Chris' Place is always a great destination for fast food good! Their burgers and hot dogs are perfect. Customer service is very friendly and courteous and the restaurant itself is kept very clean. Definitely recommended! read more

This is a great stop for burgers, dogs, gyros and MILKSHAKES! Mmmmm. And their fries are outstanding, too. You can get seasoned curlies or crinkle cut. Go with the crinkles imo. The owner is the best. Such a nice and friendly guy. Salt of the earth. He's a true Chicagoan. The prices are reasonable. I would stop in here any time. It's right across from the Leaning Y, just west of Costco. read more

A great neighborhood joint run by Nick and his sisters. The service and food are always spot on. You come in order and get a bit of conversation with Nick, whether its a bit of politics or a story about him and his family, it adds to the meal which is always great. try a milkshake with either a burger or a gyros sandwich. read more

The food is good, and i am adding the fifth STAR for the very nice and friendly staff

I went in to buy hubby and I some hot dogs one very snowy night not too long ago. If you are going to sell a hot dog in Chicago, make sure it's on a poppy seed bun! That was the only thing wrong with the food here. The fries were crispy outside and tender inside. I order the cheese sauce on the side and it was nicely melted. I'll eat here again, but probably not a hot dog. A Chicago dog MUST be on a poppy seed bun. read more

I ordered the Gyros and had some french fries. It was okay... I didn't think it was anything special. I like the gyros better at East of Edens. If I'm in the area, shopping at Aldi which is a great store, I might consider eating at this establishment again and trying something else. read more

The gyros here is one of the best I've ever had, super delicious and moist with a side of fries, pita bread, the homemade sauce and a large drink. Makes for a great lunch stop. The business is family run which I like and the fresh Greek desserts like the baklava with honey and cinnamon is so good. I've also had the traditional rice pudding which I enjoyed. Great place for a meal, will be back soon. read more

I decided to try this place out based on the earlier reviews and went here the first week of October. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, Cheese Fries, Baklava, and Root Beer. First thing I noticed were the portions were large and second the food was delicious. Place was clean and is a great bang for the buck. read more

Hotdogs everything...way too much onions. Fries cold and soggy. Beef barley soup terrible. Have had can soup better. Location clean and nice. read more

I really do like Papa Chris'. Such a friendly family owned grease spoon joint. Although I have long moved from the neighborhood and only rarely stop in for a quick to go order, they still remember me by name. Always waiting for my order we get to talking about life and updating each other on what is new. He really cares about his customers. That is the sole reason to come back time and again to Papa Chris'. The food will not knock your socks off but the service with a smile will. For a grease spoon to care about every person I see walk through their doors. It really is nice from the disconnected and often disinterested service you get at many other places. Food wise, you will find your typical Greek greasy spoon items. I do however recommend getting the chicken wing dinner. It is one of the stand out favorites I have. I know there are many options for food like this but to quote the Cheers' theme song, "you wanna go where everybody knows ur name...." read more

Im not going to lie, I have only has the Gyro plate here but it is hands down the best Gyro in the area. for around $8 you get enough meat to feed 2 people. Their Tzaziki sauce is around average but what the sauce lacks the gyro meat makes up for. I have never been disappointed with a gyro at this place read more

I live right around the corner and have been coming here for 12 years. The place is clean and friendly. The food is delicious. They have daily specials which are very good prices with an entree and fries. read more

My go-to place for Gyros! Great menu selection and there always happy to see you. Appears to be a family run place. Decent parking too.

The first thing I noticed was that the place was immaculate. There wasn't a speck of dirt, grime or dust , not even under the tables. I ordered a tuna melt, some mozzarella sticks and a slice of baklava. Tuna melt was solid, can't really screw that up. The mozzarella sticks were a home run. Most places like this will overcook them. These were golden brown with perfect gooey cheese inside. Now, for the finale..... The absolute best slice of baklava I've ever had. The piece was gigantic and oozing with honey goodness. This was my first time at Papa Chris's, but definitely not my last. read more

Fantastic fast food (get the cheese fries) and the warmest/friendliest family owned joint in town. Been coming here since I wad a kid. It was out "peach pit". Say hi to Nick and friends for me... read more

First time here, even though my grade school classmates came here all the time. I think they sponsor my grade school, Wildwood, but I'm not sure. Cheese fries were delicious. Had a cheese burger too, which was just right. Will try their gyro next time. read more

I'm having the best cream of chicken soup I've ever had! Great service and food. Beef sandwich tender, juicy and tasty. The curly fries are just right. You can't go wrong with anything here. read more

This place provides consistently high quality year in year out. Very good food always served hot and fresh. Friendly efficient service. A quick serve restaurant where you order and pick up your food at the counter. Their menu is rather extensive beyond gyros, hot dogs, burgers and fries. Unlike many of their competitors their food doesn't taste like it was sitting under a heat lamp for a half hour. There is ample seating. read more

Best place around for hot dogs,beef sandwiches,gyros! Friendly owners,staff.Food is always fresh! Love papa Chris's! Bathrooms are so clean so is resturant! read more

Still my favorite gyros around! I grew up near Papa Chris' Place but have moved away. When I'm in the area I always have to stop in for a gyros. Still enjoy the friendly faces of the owners. Such nice people! You always feel as if they remember you when you walk in. Everything is always fresh and good. read more

Really good food! I recommend the gyro. Nice sized dining area where you can enjoy your meal. High chairs for kids and parking in the lot out in front. They have a decent selection on the menu and seem to draw a large crowd during the lunch hour. Great location on Touhy across from the Y. A great choice for lunch when in the area. read more

5 stars just because the curly fries are AMAZING!!! Burgers are pretty average. Grilled chicken sandwich is pretty good, and i think that's all i've tried there... But all I've gotta say is CURLY FRIES!!! YUMMMY!!! read more

Really solid burgers and dogs. Nicely charred meat, crispy fries. Good value, super quick, and friendly service!

Always good fast food joint. Stopped the other day and they never fail to give fast,hot and good service. Just what a Chicago style fast food grill should be, char grilled burgers. read more

Great quick lunch place! Every one is extremely friendly. My daughter loves the hot dogs and their gyros is the best around.

I live in the neighborhood, and I know this place is extremely sentimental for people, but... the food is just so average. Greasy fries, etc. Two stars for friendly service and for giving the kids a tootsie pop when they come in. I really want to like this place, but come on -- make a decent salad that I can eat when I bring the kids in for their hot dog, ok? read more

WOW what a monster gyro plate. $9 and some change for a plate that I simply can't finish in one sitting. Quick, hot, and a great pita. Staff was friendly. Thank you! read more

One of the best shish ka Bob sandwiches I have ever had, highly recommend. Overall great food, great service, average prices. There salads are a nice size also, and they always offer extra feta. Never had a bad meal and I will continue to go. read more

I come here for lunch all the time. Usually take it to go. They have never messed up and order. It is cheap and tastes great! They know me by face and love their customers!!! :) Go try it for yourself! read more
