This place has very good food they make a burger its called the burger buddy i suggest e/one give it a try. I will say the burger will be around ten dollars but it comes with fries and a corn muffin. Other stuff on the menu include fried and bar bq chicken they also make great shish kabob sandwiches in a pita bread+ make sureto try out the chicken noodle soup & all the workers are very friendly and usually there is not such a big line to order i usually call in my order! Happy burger eating. Good luck!
Review Source:I ordered the wrong thing. Everything in the warming trays looked outstanding. What kind of idiot orders a burger from a kosher joint? Me. The fries were cold and limp aswell. I bet they were awesome when they were fresh. I WILL COME BAKE AND ORDER SOMETHING THEY SPECIALIZE IN BECAUSE IT LOOKS AMAZING.
Review Source:Avi, the owner is a great family man who is honest and friendly.
His food is very good. I prefer the sandwhiches. The burgers and shwarma are excellent. The popcorn chicken is also a favorite with their secret dipping sauce. Stop by on fridays for drummetes and other shabbat take out specials.
I've been coming to Great Chicago since 1999, although not as much lately as before. I was the first to review it on Yelp, and for a very long time my review was the only review anybody saw. I've seen many things, good and bad, in here, and I refused to change my 4 star rating. Well, at this point I can't maintain that line of thought. The four star rating was for the food, and it's the reason I am keeping two stars instead of bumping it down to one. But though the restaurant seems to have grown, I've seen a string of really really unprofessional choices by the staff, especially recently. I personally am not Orthodox Jewish, so I can eat a burger anywhere. I am choosing to do so.
One of the latest times I came in, while I was waiting for my food, a sleazy salesman came in and tried to interrupt the owner from his phone call, while the owner was talking to some customer about a big order. The owner SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS for the guy to get out. Now, a guy coming into someone's restaurant and acting like that to the business owner is WAY out of line. But the owner screaming at the guy like that, with a big customer on the phone, another customer five feet from him, and a bunch of people eating is also out of line. The dear owner was facing ME and he scared the shit out of me. And honestly, having just paid him 11 bucks for a meal, I didn't appreciate that very much. The next time I came, he was bragging about how his business is now really big, his "base of operations," etc. God damn it, I liked him so much more when he was just a small business owner. I don't feel like listening to the logistics of his big successes while eating a burger. And I'd gladly have the no-nonse unassuming tables back if it meant that. No offense, but if you're so fucking big and successful, move your phone line to the back of the restaurant so people 1. cannot interrupt you and 2. can eat the food they paid for without listening to you talk big business. People will no more want to hear you talk business loudly while they eat, than they will want to go to a synagogue where the rabbi gives sermons about donations every Shabbat.
This place being a good Kosher restaurant is why I kept coming back here since 1999, but sometimes things happen here that I don't really understand. Two times I was in here, a bum was in here as well, trying to hit me up for money and food. The staff saw it. They didn't stop it. Now, you tell me, you come in a restaurant, albeit even one you like, and a smelly bum sits next to you and he wants your food, in front of the employees, what are you going to say to him? And what are you going to do in light of the fact that the staff didn't do jack shit? The most disturbing time was when a normal-looking but clearly mentally ill customer was loudly demanding that I buy him food or give him money. Again, the staff sees this. Again, they see I am extremely uncomfortable. What do they do? Jack shit.
I was the first person to review this restaurant, I was reluctant to ever lower its rating because, 1. the food is good, and 2. despite its flaws I felt it sinful to give a truly good Jewish restaurant a shitty rating. But now that the owner is a huge successful businessman that won't shut up about how successful he is, he clearly doesn't need little guys like me in his burger joint anymore. So, after coming here since 1999, I bid Great Chicago farewell. The tables are better, their menu is better. But I miss the old Great Chicago, and won't come back to the new one ever again.
My husband eats here whenever he is working in the area and we used them for catering our daughter's bat mitzvah. They did a beautiful job, everything was delicious...we did brunch with bagels, nova lox, omelet station with asstd toppings, hummus, pita, jerusalem salad, a sun dried tomato pasta salad, fresh fruit, pastries, cheese & veggie pizza & nachos for the kids.
Avi is great to work with, the whole staff was wonderful. They set up in our shul's community room and it looked great. When the party was over, everything was cleaned up and the shul kitchen was spotless, you wouldn't know they were there.
I agree with Sara D., their price was very fair, far less than another kosher caterer I priced out. I will use them whenever I have to cater a kosher affair.
