Ok so we moved away from the Chicago land area, but when we come back home we ALWAYS come and get our windy city fix--AT LEAST ONCE. It reminds my husband and me of home. It's a hard feeling to describe but there's just something comforting about it. And they are open late which has always been great for us especially when we even lived nearby for some late night eats when we would work late. They don't have places like this other cities and states and I will say this is the best place like it around. Best place to get a Chicago style dog and a hot ham and cheese. Hands down

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.

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!

Open until 2am most days and the food is legit. Probably the best bang for your buck within 5 miles. It's standard hot dog/gyro stand food but everything tastes just..... right, ya know? That taste from your childhood you can't just put your finger on. That taste of innocence, milk shakes, and hot and crispy french fries. I beg of you to try them. You will forever be 12 years old again on a warm August weekend.

I've been here an array of times throughout the last several years and the food here is great. One of my most favorite things to get here is the gyro plate. The same staff have been working here for years and are always very kind and courteous!! The shakes and Malts are really good too. They have late night drive thru here until 2am.

I know they been around a long time, this place is one of the spots to hit if your out here in worth. The staff is always super friendly, foods always fresh and wait times are never terrible. The worse thing you might experience is some customer staring at you the whole time your eating your meal as if you were wearing a Halloween mask. All in all, this is for sure one of my favorite places to hit around town. I have had the gyro, hot dogs, burgers, you name it I probably had it. I must say try the garlic fries with cheese super delicious!

Delicious. Affordable. Open until 0200. What more could you ask for? The butter garlic fries are addictive, fair warning. The service can be a little slow but that’s only because the food is cooked to order and there is typically a line in the drive thru. Pictured: double cheeseburger, butter garlic fries, grilled chicken on pita. 10/10 recommend strongly for that greasy food fix.

I’ve so far had 1 Italian beef, 3 double cheeseburgers and some fries from this place on separate occasions n it’s always been solid, has drive through n the service has always been pretty quick. No complaints on my behalf.
