Very convenient to I94 to get off and on. The cashier recommended the gyro as their best seller and it tasted excellent. The fries were thick-cut and the seasoning was good. Service was poor, as we waited for over 25 minutes for our food and it wasn’t that busy.
As to the atmosphere it was a dive and in a sketchy neighborhood – having a bit of a true south side of Chicago feel that was borderline for comfort with my family, even on Sunday afternoon. The clientele made a fairly major turnover while we waited for our food – with several college-aged boys leaving after they started eating. We ate rather quickly and left. On the walk back to our car, my son and I were propositioned by a couple of ladies driving out of the parking lot after they nearly ran us over.
Would I go back – yes if during the day and I wasn’t alone (gyro was great) and no if dusk or later…
