“I first found out about Fat Johnnie’s from Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. It’s a shack on the side of the road that serves the best hot dogs you’ve ever had in your life. You won’t regret making the trip. It’s phenomenal as are the people running it. The tamale’s are great too.“
“Food is amazing nice and fresh, staff is even more amazing!!! Food isn’t super expensive. They have tables to eat, gaming. I will be coming here more often.Parking: Lots of room.Kid-friendliness: Kids have a variety of food to choose from“
“I had the grilled chicken sandwich and boy was it absolutely delicious. Seasoned to perfection And a full juicy butterflied chicken breast. I should have taken a picture of it but I inhaled it , it was so good. I'll take a picture next time cause there will most definitely be a next time.“
“Thank you geos!!! I always get the rueben, I'm addicted to it now. I love the garlic butter fries and I usually sneak a few bites of my boyfriends gyro, always so delicious.

“I came in tonight and was excited because I’ve been craving a jrito crunch and have been for about 3 years and my buddy Carl told all his fb friends that owner is a previous franchisee of jrs and they have the chil ito which is this same xact indgredients (yes same chili and cheese and same chips as jrito everything was phenomenal came from Thornton which is about a half hour plus drive. So so worth the drive I refused to touch anything til I got home so I could enjoy that first bite. Thank you to the owners for preserving the beautiful food of your past establishment only to bring it to your new establishment! Everything was phenomenal!!!“
“We usually get dogs but opted for a couple burgers & fries. Double cheeseburger w everything was great. It had just the right amount of condiments. Single cheeseburger w bacon was great as well. Fries are always perfect. They do a good job on everything I’ve ever ordered. This is the kinda spot you want to support, local and personable. Well done!“
“Tried this place for the first time today because I didn’t wanna go all the way to the city to the original Home of the Hoagy and wait forever & stop at an atm to get cash? I googled “Hoagies near me” and Fitches was the first to pop up! They’re definitely my new favorite! The hoagies were so fresh and delicious and the sweet steak was good and tender. The fries and mild sauce were bomb! I will be spreading the word this place is A1?“
Barbecue • $
“Nice little barbecue joint in Frankford, IL that is tucked away in the back of the parking lot of a strip mall off Lagrange Road. Barbecue was good, loved the rib tips and pulled pork sandwich i got. French fries needed to be cooked longer so they have that snap you like and the seasoning was delicious ?“
“Long time local resident and it's our favorite "fast" food. Usually call the order in and pick up is fast and easy! The Greek salad is our go-to, always fresh and large for some leftovers the next day! Gyros are fresh and always willing to add some extra yummy sauce. The menu is pretty large so be sure to check it all out.“
“This place is the LOCAL HOT SPOT! With a menu that includes some great comfort food like burgers, fries, gyros, greek chicken, italian beef sandwiches, chicago dogs and more...there is something tasty for everyone! The food comes out hot & delicious! The service is great. They are so friendly and welcoming to their customers. If you want food done right, THIS IS the place to come. The Greek chicken was so tasty and filled with flavor. The burgers are tall with all the fixings. I was deeply impressed with the food at this hidden gem on 127th Street.“
“The one place you can get a cheap meal from so good, and very fast food is always hot and on point this is a great maxwell . One thing they need to start accepting debt cards cause I do not like to carry cash especially trying to get money out there atm machine late at night the world is very different every button you it you have to be looking over your shoulders just tragic.“
“I come often with my daughter. The guys that work there are very friendly, and professional. Food is ways piping hot. The fat fries are delicious. The gyro meat and pita are always fresh and they load the meat. The chili dog is delicious, the bacon cheeseburger is delicious and charbroiled. Large crispy onion rings. Pop is always fresh.“
“Staff is usually good and fast, the food is just as good but ofc is very pricey, fries are ok wish they were a little crispier but have a great taste. This specific location is not too busy usually a line of 3-5 people and they always keep it clean.“
“A place you really need to stop by, the food is really good here and I recommend it. I first came by when I saw the grand opening and I keep coming back now. Fries taste fresh cut which is super refreshing. Gyros are delicious and so is the cucumber yogurt to go with it that the owner makes. I also really like the fried zucchini side. Tried his burger and chicken tenders and they where tasty too. Owner is super nice, and kitchen is open view so you how what's happening. It's a good little ma and pa place.“
“If you’re looking for fast food in this area, this is the place. I love the fries, gyros, burgers, ect.. i’ve been coming to this place for years. I enjoy visiting here every time I come. Paul & George do an excellent job running this place.“
“From the clerks up front to the cooks in the kitchen, excellent food & service. Generous portions and I need pass up the ice cream treats! Clean, fast, friendly & deliciousVegetarian options: I loved their Greek salad.Kid-friendliness: The food must be too good for the kids, in the place, to act out. There's always a family or two in the place and they're good.“
“While not my usual selection, I ordered the Italian beef dry with juice on the side. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sandwich and the generous amount of beef packed into it. The side of juice was fine for someone like me who doesn't was a soaked beef. With the side of fries and drink it is a sandwich meal that satisfies. The employees are courteous and efficient.“
“I am in no means an expert on Chicago Italian beef sandwiches. Stopped in on a cross country road trip. Wow,the sandwiches were great! Grab plenty of napkins and dig in. Mine had provolone and hot gardeneira,really kickin' sandwich. Can't wait to get back!Parking: Park out front and eat inside. Not the kind of sandwich for the car.“
“Absolutely love coming to Jimmys. The food, the people, the atmosphere is just something everyone needs to experience. I’ve been coming here since I was little, it’s always a go-to place.Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian options. Salad is very good as well.Parking: Great parking, can get busy around lunch times sometimes but never an issue with parking.Kid-friendliness: Great food for the kids. They will enjoy looking at all the amazing classic pictures on the walls.Wheelchair accessibility: Had handicap accessible parking as well as easy entrance.“
“They have a nice Philly cheese steak a good beef deep-fried polish and the burger special is good as well and if they would just cut back on the salt on the fries that would be great otherwise things are pretty much okay nice prices fast service I shall return and try something else on the menu“
“When my wife and I, a pair of 80-year-old retirees looking for something to do, decided to begin a quest to discover the best hot dog stands in Chicago, we didn't realize what we were in for. Every neighborhood in the city has a signature hot dog stand that is so good that customers don't mind standing in line. And while every hot dog stand has its own version of a Chicago-style hot dog, they also offer something different on their menus that separate them from everybody else. Take Dan's Hot Dogs, for example. Located at 9314 South Ashland Avenue in the Brainerd/Washington Heights neighborhood, Dan's has been offering takeout since the 1970s. Long-time customers praise the obligatory Chicago-style hot dog with mustard, onion, relish, pickles, tomato, sport peppers and celery salt. They also praise the chili cheese dog, chili cheese fries, chili dog, Chicago style Polish, double cheeseburger and the pineapple shake. But Dan's also offers a one-and-only item, the premium Ditka spicy beef Polish with mustard, grilled onions and sport peppers, that would make Da Coach proud. Open from 10 to 7 Monday through Saturday, Dan's also draws compliments from my wife or his breaded fish sandwich and banana split.“
“Casual bbq place with a nice neighborhood-y bar and great food.The salmon burger is so good – some of my favorite sides are the corn pudding, potato salad and cole slaw.My boyfriend loved his fried chicken dinner as well.Service is quick and friendly. We will be back.“
“The Muslims there are a community. The other Muslims in the community from what I've seen.شكرًا لكVegetarian options: great saladsParking: You could park, ok, it's not like you can park on top of the store.took a lot is a parking lot, I don't know what's so difficult to understand about that. It's a great parking lot what else“
“I moved from Dolton over 15 years ago and I still miss Nicky's!!! I know the neighborhoods has changed, but I still try to visit whenever I'm in town. I ate here so much. Everything is good. Customer service is always friendly and fast. Even if it wasn't, it's always worth the wait.“
“Normally the food has awesomeness, but I had never taste the beef polish. That thing was so hard hurt my gums I was so over it, but I will never stop going there just won’t be getting them beef polish no More. That was garbage toss it in the trash.“
“This is a great dining and go restaurant. There are so many different selections for pretty much anyone. They had gyros and sub sandwiches hamburgers and hotdogs, chicken and salad. Lots to choose from. There is seating inside and plenty of parking easy to get in and off of the restaurant from route 45.“
“Classic old school hot dog stand that does a ton of other fast food and does it well! How many places do you go into now days and actually have the owner working the counter?So if you're around the area, why the heck would you go to some chain like Portillo's that just imitates this type of place?Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kid friendly knickknacks to look at. Cartoons on tvs too“
“Approaching also made this order great. I ordered the gyro and French fries on pita bread cream at an large side order of the same with hot dogs as my repeat. Quick to prepare and delicious for the most part. Not a long wait. Placed in the surrounding area as decent on all platforms. Clean and a breath of fresh air.“
“You are greeted with happiness and care which is absolutely appreciated. The menu is big which gives a lot of choices, from American to Chinese to Thai. We tried two Asian dishes, one was spicy shrimp (wife loved it) and the other was fried chicken with rice. The chicken was chewy and had an off color so i didn’t enjoy this very much. I was also craving a hot dog so I ordered the Chicago style and the hot dog was VERY wrinkly and a little tough. I’m not sure what caused this. The crab Rangoon was tasty and the drinks were delicious! I would want to go back to try other foods.“
“Wonderful low-key place with great food and even better service! The chicken and Chicago dog did not disappoint and the prices can't be beat. Just make sure to bring cash as it's cash-only. The couple that owns/operates it is seriously the sweetest!“
