Went there to support a local school fundraiser and received great friendly service, tasty food and at a price less than McDonalds charges for their fast food which didn't come close to Charcoal Delights! I'll be back.
Classic Chicago food (gyros, hot dogs, Italian beef, burgers, chicken, breakfast items) in a comfortable atmosphere with great service. When it's not too busy, they bring your order to the table, and even check on you later! Prices have gone up, like everywhere these days, but are still reasonable.
Food is excellent! Staff is friendly and the owner comes around to make sure everything is good. This is my go to spot when I need a good quick bite. They have drive through

I felt at home here immediately after talking to the Greek guy behind the counter, I believe he was the owner. Nice guy, and I didn't mind the wait for fresh chicken at all thanks to the wonderful aromas. It also gave me time to peruse the menu in more detail too. Gyros, burgers, Chicago dogs, ribs, baklava and more. Yum. The building isn't the newest but everything is clean and tidy. I went with the fried chicken dinner with broasted potatoes. Three giant potato logs with a delicious smoky grilled flavor. A tasty biscuit. A tiny little cup of coleslaw that was better than expected, though there was only about three bites worth. The chicken was good, with that same smoky grill flavor as the taters, but they were also awfully skimpy pieces of chicken. These were skinny chickens. They were on a diet. The wing practically had more breading than meat. So, they get 4.5 stars for service, 5 for atmosphere, 3.5 for the chicken's flavor, 2 for the size of the pieces, and 5 for the taters. What's that come to? I don't know. Let's just round up to a 4 and hope that future visits to explore the menu warrant that high of a score. SECOND VISIT: I ordered a gyro and it was absolutely delicious. The meat is perfect, the tzatziki sauce is perfect. Five stars all the way. The fries were meh: 2.5 stars. This puts them in solid 4 star territory. Also, I've realized that there must be a problem getting decent chicken in the area. Even KFC's chicken is sad looking. THIRD VISIT: The Greek chicken is good but not great. It could use more seasoning. The rice is fantastic, I love the seasoning on it. They remain a solid four star place and I'll continue exploring the menu.

I'm oddly craving a burger and want to check it out because I've driven past it a few times.I don't want to use their drive-through; instead, I'd rather dine in and enjoy my food while it's still freshly prepared.I ordered my meal at the counter, and after you pay, the staff will give you a number card to place on the table because they will deliver it to you when your meal is ready.There is plenty of seating, including tables, booths, and a small bar. The surrounding area is clean and well-kept.When my food arrived, I was excited, but my mood shifted after I took a bite of it. The burger's presentation is sloppy; they used too much mustard and relish because it has an acidic aftertaste. One of my pet peeves is that the cheese barely melts on the burger.The fries is lukewarm and lightly salted. The milkshake is horrible, it’s like drinking milk with smashed Oreos in it because it’s liquidy; no thickness to it.When I was about to depart, an elderly woman cleaning the floor wished me a wonderful weekend, which helped to soften the pain. At the end thank you for the meal.
