“We visited BZ Red Hots at Brookfield Zoo today. We had a wonderful time at the zoo and the best part in my opinion was taking a break for lunch at BZ Red Hots. Service was awesome! Ellise helped us with ordering our food and drinks at the kiosks. She was such a pleasaure with a big smile on her face. I'm sure she's one of her manager's favorite employees if not THE favorite. Thank you again for all your help Ellise. Food was great too. 😊“

“I saw the Choula and Lime ad on social media and came into to have a Philly cheesesteak with that flavoring. Jack who was working during the freezing weather conditions let me know it was only used for a wings rub but said he could try to make it as a cheese steak by mixing butter instead! He was very friendly and accommodating, willing to go above and beyond to help me. They were also closing soon and I was going to take my meal to go but he insisted that my partner and i dined in so the food stayed warm. Absolutely made my night because I got exactly what I wanted and it was a delicious cheesesteak!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As someone who has spent more than 30 years exploring, reviewing, and appreciating food across 35 countries, I do not make compliments lightly. Hello Shawarma is genuinely among the finest shawarma establishments I have encountered anywhere in the world.

What immediately stands out is the quality of the meat. The shawarma is expertly marinated, perfectly seasoned, and cooked with remarkable precision, achieving that ideal balance between tenderness and caramelized crispness that defines truly exceptional shawarma. Every bite is rich, flavorful, and unmistakably authentic.

My strongest recommendation is the Crispy Shawarma with a touch of Shatta. The contrast between the crispy edges of the meat and the subtle heat of the Shatta creates a beautifully balanced flavor profile that keeps you coming back for another bite. It's bold without being overwhelming and showcases a deep understanding of how texture and spice should complement each other.

Beyond the shawarma itself, the freshness of the ingredients is evident. The bread, vegetables, sauces, and accompaniments are all carefully selected and prepared. Nothing feels mass-produced or rushed. The garlic sauce is especially noteworthy—creamy, balanced, and crafted to enhance rather than overpower the shawarma.

The restaurant maintains high standards of cleanliness, service, and consistency, which are qualities often overlooked but essential to a truly great dining experience. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they serve.

Having enjoyed street food, fine dining, and regional specialties across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia, I can confidently say that Hello Shawarma ranks among the best shawarma experiences I have had. It is a rare example of a restaurant that combines authenticity, quality ingredients, technical skill, and genuine hospitality in every meal.

If you appreciate outstanding Middle Eastern cuisine, do yourself a favor: order the Crispy Shawarma with a touch of Shatta. You will not regret it.“

“Everything was amazing! So happy we picked this spot for lunch!“

Thank you for your consistent quality. The salad and gyros was devoured. And everyone loved it. Thanks a million for cooking for us ! PS. Love your place because it’s soooooooo clean too !“

“That Ribeye Steak Sandwich is absolutely amazing! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Awesome food and friendly staff. More of a lax atmosphere with loads of Chicago memorabilia sprinkled on the walls.

The Chicago Hot Dog and fries I had were prepared fresh. Very juicy and flavorful dog, 10/10.

On another note, I came in at 2pm and the kitchen was very well staffed. (A rarity for restaurants nowadays)

Great experience, will swing by here again the next time in Chicago.“

“I love going here!! Any time I am in the Chicago area, I find Egg Harbor. They are accommodating with large groups, service is great, and best part is the ability to order a wonderful, filling gluten free breakfast! Never had an issue with finding something to eat or it not tasty. Highly recommend stopping by.“

“In the past I was not really a Jerk food type of guy, but I love this place. The food was fresh and seasoned just like I like it. The overall atmosphere was great as well. Super clean sitting area with quiet music and television while you wait for your food. I've been there twice already, and will definitely be going back. It'll be one of my regular spots for lunch or dinner.“

“The best Italian Beef and Chicago-Style hot dogs 🌭! Love this family.“

“Love this place! Food is so good, well packaged, and quick delivery.“

“Grabbed 5 boxes for our firehouse lunch today—Italian, ham & cheese, turkey & swiss, chicken parm, and the standout Al Pacino. Sandwiches were fresh, packed with great ingredients, and the 3-inch cuts in boxes of 12 were perfect for sharing a variety. Packaging was flawless. Rosie's Sidekick in Logan Square nailed it—can't wait to order again!“

“Great food nice waiters n pretty place n clean 😊“

“We stumbled on Yorky’s and ordered salads. 1 chicken and 1 Gyro salad. I have to say on of the best and freshest salads I have ever had. Home grown tomatoes and cucumbers. Piles of slices gyro meat. Well be back“

“Honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had Maria and Ashley was very amazing with giving the best experience to customers no matter who you are and the food just as good, the whole team there could be seen giving their all, will definitely come again with friends!!“

“Best fries ever. Fast service!“

“You can’t go wrong with the classic Chicago dogs here—perfectly prepared and served alongside a generous portion of crisp, hot French fries.

​While I haven't had a chance to try their cheeseburger yet, it seems to be a major crowd favorite based on what everyone else was ordering. I'll definitely be back to give it a shot. Clean, fast, and exactly what you want from a great local spot!“

“Delicious food. I tried the cheese burger w fries and everything was yummy.“

“Living in Portland, Oregon 🌲, I’ve been ordering 2-day air deliveries from Portillo’s for years now, and it never disappoints! Being originally from the northwest side of Chicago, I grew up visiting those small, unforgettable Italian beef spots with my parents ❤️. Those childhood flavors really stayed with me, and the craving never went away! 😋

Thankfully, Portillo’s makes it easy to relive those memories at home. Their Italian beef and Chicago dog kits are always fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying 🌭✨. It honestly feels like bringing a little piece of Chicago right into my kitchen. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone missing those classic tastes or wanting to try something truly iconic!“

“I'm so happy that I finally stopped in and tried they're food. SOOOOO GOOOOOD, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!! Eating a chicken sandwich now in Bliss #Foodie“

Prices are decent and comparable to other fast food / restaurants. Nice dining room. Plenty of seating. Always clean, dining room to waiting area. Restrooms are clean as well. Parking available in 2 lots or on street. Drive thru available.“

“My FAVORITE grilled chicken sandwich! Everything is amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Don’t miss out! Excellent food at fair pricing with exceptional catering options. Gus, the owner, is very friendly and ensures the best experience by delivering fresh food with guarantee if you’re not happy he’ll make it right. My family and I have been customers for almost 30 years and the quality has stayed the same even if the economy hasn’t. Support local small business and find them all summer long at local outdoor events. Highly recommend for your catering needs as they provide not just good food, but excellent service as well.“

“friendly staff food was hot and 😋 tasty“

“I visit twice in 2 weeks. I have been coming here for many years. Scatchell's your beef sandwich never disappoint me. What really puts them over the top is your homemade hot peppers. But I would like to suggest that your food handlers use plastic gloves. I observed one of your workers rub his nose and then made a sandwich (it wasn't mine) 😓“

“Everything there runs better when MARY is working. She is friendly, efficient and seems to be able to multitask better than most employees at the Oak Lawn location. She’s the best !“

“I've been going to Mickey for YEARS!!! Today I took my grandkids for the first time. They are very nice people with great service....and food!“

“Sub-tender use to be the place for a great sub. I've ordered here for a party years ago. Now don't get me wrong, the subs are delicious but id you get more then 3 things slices of meat that's a good day. I know the economy if rough but dang. You better like bread because that's all you really getting $7. I get the turkey combo for 14.00 with tax because I can fill up on the fries 🍟 and soda.“

“Allll I have to say is YUMMMMYYYY to my tummy“

“ALWAYS CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE U LEAVE B/C WHEN U GET HOME SOMETHING IS ALWAYS MISSING 😥“

“The gluten free menu options are awesome!! The pancakes are soft and fluffy not stretchy (iykyk) our server Rosie B was very polite. So happy to have a new breakfast place and looking forward to trying lunch options in the future. Price was great too!!“
