Yummy. This fast food is made to order and absolutely delicious. Â I have been going here for the last 8 months or so and am happy each time I try something new. Â Recently, I got the pizza and it is AMAZING. Â The crust is crispy and thin (made from scratch) and the toppings are flavorful and kinda spicy. Â And to make this place even better, the pizza costs about the same as getting a frozen pizza at the grocery! Â The new owner is really friendly and welcoming and they cook everything when you order.
The philly cheese steak sandwich is really good, just the way I like it with small chopped pieces of meat instead of long gyro like slices. Â It comes with fries and a drink and again, the prices are amazing.
Stopped by Makki Grill on a night that I didn't feel like cooking and ordered my meal to go. Â Had a pleasant time chatting with the very friendly guy behind the counter while my food was prepared. Â Walked out with a gyro, fries and a can of pop for a decent price. Â The food was very tasty and in an absolutely huge portion. Â Would definitely do the same again on another lazy night.
Review Source:It was a hectic day, and we were doing laundry over at the coin laundromat in the same plaza. Â I decided to walk over, and get a bite to eat. Â
I got a grilled chicken sandwich and gyro burger combo meals, both were pretty darn good. Both meals come with fires and a can of  pop. What I really appreciated about this place was that they cooked my food to order, when I ordered it.  No stuff sitting around on a warmer!  With that being said, there will be a bit of a wait time for your food (which i don't mid because it's cooked fresh), unless you call in in ahead of time.
I will be returning to try the other menu items!
I agree with An P.
This. is. drunk. food.
With it being across from the train, it's EXCELLENT for a stumble home. I've only had their chicken philly which is really good. Quite comparable to the chicken phillies in Greektown at Mr. Gyro. The fries are seasoned with what might be seasoning salt [?] but taste really good with barbecue sauce.
The employees there are really nice and everything is made to order so you have to wait a little bit.
Give 'em a chance! It's nice to have something in a plaza that was completely empty :)
This place is good for what it is, fast greasy food. I went there for one thing and one thing only. The philly cheese sammich. It was not the best, but in Albany Park its as good as it gets. Just make sure you tell them not to put hot peppers in it. because then you will hardly get any meat. Â
The food takes a while to come out, because the grill they have is small. stay away from the burgers, who wants frozen stuff?? my family likes the jumbo shrimp. Give them a chance, they are trying to do something they are not sure how to do. with the right time and guidance and OUR feedback to them, i think they will pickup.
edit - 9/19/2011 :
from what i understand they have new owners. have not tried the food yet. i doubt i will. the last time i ate there (May 2011), i got sick. this place lost all the potential it could have been. call restaurant impossible on these guys cuz they need help.
This place just opened up a block away, so my husband and I decided to try it out. These guys were very NICE and the PRICES ARE GREAT! The menu is very eclectic as well (middle eastern, Pakistani/Indian, burgers, shrimp).
We ordered a beef pizza and the service was kind of slow and there were 4 guys in the restaurant but only 1 cooking? Oh well, they are new and probably working out the kinks. I was so hungry when I got home with the pizza and we found that it was completely uncooked, except for the toppings. The dough was only cooked on the crust. Â We couldn't even peel the pizza off to put it on a pan to bake it more. So, we called the place and they were very apologetic and offered to make another one. The second one was a little more cooked and my husband thought it looked okay at the restaurant, but the center was completely uncooked. It's like they are using dough that is still frozen?? At least this time we could get it off of the cardboard and we ended up baking it another 15 minutes. There are lots of toppings which is nice, but there is hardly any sauce or flavor, I'm sad to say. Â Maybe we'll give them some time to work things out and try again. :/
Greasy.
Coming home from the train I woke up from my slumber to espy Makki Fast Food and Grill outside my train window. What was it? Well the sign said fast food but in Albany Park you can never really tell what anything is from the outside. Sliding across ice and snow, I made my investigation.
Makki Fast Food & Grill serves up super cheap eats from 8am-1am and is open 7 days a week. Located next to Roosevelt High School, I shudder to think what kind of zoo this place becomes once the high schoolers roll in. Fortunately for me, the high schoolers were long gone and the tables were all clean and the only thing on was TV tuned to the news.
I looked at the menu and they served up high school prices! 14" pizza for $6.49 a cheeseburger combo for $4.49 and pop for a mere 51¢. I wonder what this place will become since it's open until one in the morning. They were still cleaning the place up and setting up a backroom so the place is very brand new.
I ordered my food and waited over ten minutes, so this place will never win any awards for speedy service, but such is the way things are done in Albany Park. Patience is a virtue and I virtuously accepted my food and paid with card and was on my way. On the way back sliding through the ice fields the food maintained integrity, texture and temperature despite the below-freezing temperatures.
My burger was from some deep frozen meat so I can't say it had much flavor. The fries were much better and were very delicious and suitable for drunk food. I will investigate further this Makki Fast Food and Grill as I strive to add another mayorship and try their Chicken Masala. Chicken Chinese does not sound very good but then again the place down the street serves up Bulgogi Taco.
