    Got beef!
    Tim H.

    Not sure why I never knew of this place. Lived in Glenview for over a decade in late '80's-90's. Been here since '67. First visit I had the delicious Italian beef, dipped hot. Very meaty sandwich either 6" or 9". Make it a bomber with Swiss, pickles, onion and special sauce my next visit. New location at 1880 Glenview Rd is currently under construction likely opening 2026.

    I had some time to kill while waiting for a train so I figured it was a good chance to try something new. Looking at nearby spots I saw Spiro's and it sounded perfect. It's a small, no frills kind of place, which is just fine. I get the neighborhood secret vibe here, everyone who came in before or after me knew the workers personally. The friendliness is a big plus. I had the 7 inch original poor boy. Overall a really tasty sandwich! Classic deli style meats and veggies. The bread could have been a bit softer which is my only complaint. It wasn't too tough but it did take some effort to get a good bite. I'm around this area often so ill be back for sure. The Bomber is their specialty apparently, I'll have to try that next time.

    Bomber and gyro  Bomber is the bomb!!!!!

    The food and service were phenomenal. First time there and I will be back! Got the bomber and the gyro. Liked the bomber more but gyro was great as well. Fries were awesome and homemade not from a package. Amount of meat in each sandwich was great too. It was packed full of meat and flavor! Owner made us feel welcome and gave us a small sample which was a nice surprise. What a in Glenview :)

    I can't believe I ate the entire thing. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak combo expecting thin sliced steak that would come from a box. The man behind the counter (Rudy) just kept saying, yeah, no problem to my choices of cheeses. This is definitely where the locals go. This place had a steady stream of customers ordering everything from Gyros to Po'boys. Everyone who entered knew the man behind the counter and he greeted all of them by name. The ambiance is very deli. No special anything really. The place just says order your stuff and we will feed you. The food though... I truly am pleased I made this stop. The Philly cheesesteak had actual chunks of steak. The provolone cheese and the added cheese sauce made this closer to a true Philly than I have been since being in Philly. This thing was a monster sandwich and when i first looked at it i thought that i may need a football team to polish this off. The fries were fresh cut and salted properly right out of the oil. I will return.

    This is what I will call a hidden gem in Glenview. I have lived not too far from Spiro's for over 10 years now and have always wanted to stop by. The first time I picked up from here, I ordered GYROS SANDWICH and a ROAST BEEF SANDWICH. My kids ate them in the car while we were on a road trip. Once they opened the sandwiches, the smell of the gyro meat and roast beef were drool worthy. Not only did they smelled good, they tasted even better too! There were so much meat in both sandwiches. The next time I stopped by, I got a Gyro sandwich (again) and a PHILLY CHEESESTEAK sandwich for my son. They were amazing. (Of course I get to have a taste of everything I get for them ;). The sandwiches were made to order. Both times I've gone, I probably waited about 10 minutes for two sandwiches. Everyone was friendly, accommodating, and very efficient. They had a few tables inside, everything was clean, and they also had a few tented tables outside. I will go back for sure. 100%.

    We're in town during Thanksgiving for the first time in a decade. I ordered all the sides from…read moretowne and oak (delish), the pies from three tarts (perfection) and then I need a turkey. I checked Yelp and ordered from Hofherr Meat based on the stellar reviews. I often peek into Hofherr Meat when walking into Shred415 so was excited to finally try it! About 2 days before I was telling a friend where i got my turkey and she asked me how i plan to cook it. Cook it?? It literally had not occurred to me that my turkey would be raw. If it's not obvious from this review and ALL my restaurant reviews the kitchen is not where I shine. I called Hofherr to ask if they could cook my turkey and while apparently they do that it was too late to put in the request. Good to know for next time. Wednesday morning I joined the rest of the North Shore to pick up my raw turkey. I ran into a friend while waiting for it who is more of an expert when it comes to making turkeys and she asked them to give me gravy, a turkey bag (apparently easier and lessy messy to cook in a bag) and some directions. The next day I followed their directions along with some help from my bestie chatgpt. I stuck it in the oven and crossed my fingers we wouldn't be going without a turkey this thanksgsiving. We had a little mishap when the thermometer melted into the turkey (oops), but besides that it really wasn't too difficult of a process. And while I had trouble eating a turkey after seeing it raw my family was thrilled that it was perfectly moist and praised my turkey making skills. I did have a few bites and did think it was pretty good- and i dont even like turkey. I would definitely get my turkey from here again, although next time i'll be ordering a cooked turkey out of convenience. But for those of you who like to cook a turkey I recommend them!

My boyfriend and I ordered chicken to share as well as waffle fries. My daughter ordered a burger. My aunt ordered chicken as well. My uncle ordered a bowl of sorts with rice and meat. The person taking our order was friendly, patient, and told us to move tables around to accommodate our party of five plus all of the food. The staff also kept giving us free items to try as we were eating, like French fries and a banana pudding. The banana pudding was not large enough to share with everyone so I waited until I was back in the car to head to bingo and split it with my boyfriend. It tasted like banana Laffy Taffy so I am not sure how I feel about that. The breasted chicken was cooked to order, hot, crispy, and had a little kick to it. The rice was flavorful. The onion rings were okay. The waffle fries were definitely superior to the traditional ones. The hamburger was good! The restaurant space was clean, quiet, and spacious. I would make the drive for the broasted chicken again! I wish The Fry Fusion all the success!

    Who are these people giving this place high ratings?!…read more Jose's Hacienda is located on the 3rd floor in a business building, located between Westfield Old Orchard and Niles North. The building is definitely outdated, and we really enjoyed the old school elevator! The place is very bare bones, and the eatery seemed to be in the building's mail room. The menu offers breakfast items salads, tacos, tortas, burritos, wraps, and chimichangas. We came here for a late lunch, and not sure if there even was a lunch rush, but the staff were already cleaning up to close and no other patrons were on site. We made sure that they were still open, and after redoing a hard yes, we ordered: +a carnitas taco +an al pastor taco +a carne asada taco +and, a carne asada burrito It was probably one of the worst Mexican eateries we've been to, ever. The tacos, in which they looked appetizing, were just not great. The carnitas that we had ordered was some type of an ofal-like protein and was disgusting. They sefinitely got the order incorrect. I wanted to try their chimichanga, but they stated the fryer wasn't working - I'm thinking they already had it turned off for the day and didn't want to start it back up. The burrito itself was awful - it was not even rolled correct and was so loose - it was 75%-80% shredded lettuce, and the bits of carne asada had mostly fat and cartilage. The burrito was also dripping with liquid, most likely from the tomatoes or some weird watered sauce that was drizzled inside. The salsas were fine, but didn't help the food at all. Also, nothing was temperature hot, as it was all lukewarm. You can tell that even reheating things properly wasn't going to happen here. Unfortunately, we lost our appetite quickly, and all the items were tossed. There is a menu up at the counter, and a soda vending machine that seemed to have been unplugged; there was a refrigerator off to the side for a limited selection of drinks. Staff were friendly. The place closes at 3 PM, but should just close at 12:30/1 PM. Obviously, they refuse to offer their full menu past a certain time and seem to have a hard time keeping it open until their posted closing hours.
