I was craving a gyro and went in for the first time about a year ago. I've been back maybe 7 times since, and everything has been delicious and really consistent. The gyro is definitely the best around. I love the atmosphere too, you just can't replicate a truly vintage place. Paul, the owner is also so nice!

Update:
No longer good food. The prices went up and the food went down.
The fries and onion rings that I ordered looks like they make them in very old oil. There tasted very bad very bitter. We had also a fish sandwich. The fish was very thin and it was so over cooked that was all crispy. Other thing I had was a gyros sandwich and also did not taste good.
So no more going to them for food.

Old review.
Not bad. Food was good. No complained

Online website shows different prices, not updated. Non-authentic chili dog with beans. Cheesy beef had no flavor except for the cheese. Disappointing since I love supporting local wheeling businesses.

I ordered three gyro plates. I got charged for three gyro plates. I was given three of their smallest sandwiches, no fries. Tried to say the order got mixed up, they offered to charge me again for all the food I already paid for and didn't get.

The sandwiches were sad, dry, flavorless, and the tomatoes were slimy. No firmness at all. I called more than an hour before closing, showed up fifteen minutes later, there is no excuse for the lack of quality.

As far as atmosphere, it smelled like the inside of an old fridge when I got inside, so there's that.

This review is based solely on one experience getting an Italian beef meal eaten at the restaurant. I have only been here once. As such, the Italian beef here was not good. The meager amount of meat had very little flavor, the bread was disappointing (I can't imagine it was either Turano of Gonnella, more like super cheap crumbly rolls from discount grocery chains), the hot giardinera was very disappointing, ordered sandwich dipped and it was dry, fries were unsalted (fixable) and quite blonde and somewhat undercooked.

The giardinera was very bad, Think pickled mushy jalapenos with a tiny amount of carrots. Zero crunch. Portillos has gone down significantly in quality for the last decade, but even portillos beef today is 10x better than this.

The inside is cute and a throwback, but don't order Italian beef here. The other food has to be better or I can't imagine how they are in business.

A slice of old school drive/in diners. Good Food, Good Value stuck in a bit of a time capsule. Honestly love it for the old school independent nostalgia compared to the fast food chains that are everywhere. I support local and enjoy going here with my family. One of my son's who worked at Portillo's says their burgers are better than theirs.
