    Reuben with butter garlic fries
    Irene Kitty L.

    When we lived in Palos Hills, we used to go to Windy City Subs very often. Probably once a week and it has always been a treat. Prices are reasonable and everything tastes pretty great. Today I shared a Reuben sandwich with an order or butter garlic fries with the hubby and it was absolutely fantastic! Nice and hot and crispy. Will continue to visit this place if I'm ever in the area. One of the things that makes me a bit sad now that I've moved. Continue the great service, cute and clean restaurant and delicious food!

    Italian sandwich. It's ok.

    Not too bad. Not too good either. If I could give 2.5 stars, I would. Being open til 2 am, is a huge plus. The ONLY reason they are 3 stars. I have had much better, but if you want a deli sandwich @ 1 am, where do you go, y'know???

    Gyros Plate w/Fries.
    Michael G.

    Gyros Plate with fries piled on Chicago Style. Meal comes hearty enough to grab extra pita and enjoy 2 good size sandwiches. Cashier was prompt and professional. Nice seating area to eat, Also Soda machine still out front for a refill, something getting more scarce as retailers have started hiding condiments ect behind register. I'll be back to try a Sub soon.

    Garlic fries.

    Stopped by on a whim a few days ago. This place has been here forever but I finally stopped to see if the food is as good as I'm told it is!! So let me start by saying that getting your food is no issue. Drive-thru works nicely, but be warned that the traffic on 111th can be loud so you might not be able to hear as well. Got to the window, payment was easy as they accept electronic payments in addition to cash. Got the food, and it was a wrap!!! The food is standard fare: burgers, hot dogs, fries, things of that nature. I ordered the hot dogs, a double cheeseburger and garlic fries. The hot dogs were not mine, but they were good (I got a bite! )! The garlic fries were to die for, they were that good!! Let me warn you all also: they don't skimp on the fries. They give you a LOT!!! I am 238 pounds and I could not finish them! Now for the double cheeseburger, it was good, but my only criticism is that there was so much lettuce (which can have a higher water content) on the bread that the bottom bun got soggy. Let me be clear, the burgers were nicely done, though. So maybe they can go easy on the lettuce in general? Anyhow, I'll definitely go back. Good food worth the money, especially those garlic fries!!! Food......A- (would be an A+ if not for the soggy bun) Ambiance....B Price....B Customer service....A+

    So this was the first time i've eaten here and the line was out to the street. However, these employees were timely with orders during peak hours. I ordered a Gyro meal so it came with fries and a fountain drink. The fries and sandwich were very tasty and fresh. The meat was very fresh and flavorful. The fries were crispy and salty to my liking. I would eat here again. I've taken photos of their current prices and menu items and they have a nice selection. Also their staff was excellent with service and efficient with managing customers during lunch hours. I would recommend this establishment.

    King Turkey (12 inch sub) with only two slices of Turkey.

    I'm not sure if I'm just getting different chefs preparing the food but I ordered the largest Turkey sub (KING) and it came with two slices of Turkey on it and that was it. I like this place, their food is decent , LOVE their hours but they seem to really skimp on the sandwiches.

    Gyro and fries
    Catherine P.

    Wow. I am so happy I finally made my way to Windy City after driving by it on my commute for many years. Basically, I wanted a gyro, and I wanted to dine in. This place is so clean, it's gleaming, and the sunlight just pours in. I don't know of a fast food place with a dining room this nice. Not a single crumb in sight. Really. It was so peaceful too; the energy was just right. Ok. The food. Amazing. I don't eat fast food often, so when I do I want it to be worth it. My meal was made to order, and it came out so hot and fresh. I enjoyed every bite. All the while, the staff was working together nonstop. Never a moment of nothing for them. Whether they were cooking, cleaning, stocking, they were moving the entire time. They were so pleasant and happy. Makes me think they like working there. Most establishments are short staffed. Not here! Thank you for a GREAT dinner. Thank you for your hospitality. Can't wait to do it again.

    If you have hours set until 2am maybe you shouldn't have the "grill off" 25 minutes before so people can't order. Set your time to 1:30 if that's the case. Gave this place 3 times and it's always something ridiculous. I'd rather spend my money somewhere else and avoid it. Plus it's hit or miss on the food when you do get it. Might be good might be crap.

    They offer quite a few 'combos', which bring the price down a bit. The hot dogs remind me of when we had 'hot dog day' in grammar school.

I have not been here in over 5 years for these same reasons, thought I would give them another chance, and unfortunately nothing has changed. Remember, if somebody tells you they have been in business for 40 years, that means they have been pulling these same tricks on customers for those 40 years! There are great chicken shawarma restaurants in the area, for the same or less money go get yourself a delicious, freshly made sandwich that never disappoints -- You will not be as sorry as I was that I ate here!

The place has got an Old West theme; probably left over from the 70s or 80s, but that's why I love it more. Plenty of seating inside but I opted to sit outside on the picnic tables out front. I had the brisket sandwich with coleslaw, beans, and a side of fries. There was a fair amount of brisket on the sandwich itself. So much so I was surprised it was very tasty and pretty moist. Could have been a wee bit moister. I wasn't as crazy about the beans but I think that's a matter of taste. Something in the seasoning. That being said, the fries were amazing! I'm not usually really concerned about french fries but every single one of these were crispy and had the perfect amount of salt. I also very much liked the creamy coleslaw. I look forward to coming back and trying the ribs and maybe some Greek specialties.

It's counter service, and when your order is ready, they announce your number on your receipt. Gemato's is a good place for families or large parties with plenty of seating.
