Nathan's is a go to place for me and my daughter for their Grilled Chicken Pita sandwich. Â They seem to have a lot of other stuff... burgers, hot dogs, curried goat, etc. but I've never tried it! Â I love the grilled chicken pita with the greasy fries. Â It comes with well seasoned dark meat chicken, sauteed veggies and a healthy dose of those not so healthy fries. Â Simple, quick and tasty. Â Along with their home made ginger beer, it's a great snack. Â On the days when I am more abstemious, I opt for the grilled chicken salad... green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, comes with the grilled chicken (another healthy portion) wrapped separately in foil w/a choice of dressings. Â I always ask them to add grated cheese. Â It's a good salad, always fresh! Â Maybe they'd get more stars if I tried the other dishes, or maybe I'd subtract a star, who knows! Â My review has tunnel vision, I'll admit it but no one does chicken pita better for the price!
Review Source:I've been to this place on several occasions and the food has always been hot, fresh and tasty. I mean what can you expect from a simple hole-in-the-wall type joint? The service is always prompt and the menu is expansive.
I've only ordered hot dogs, burgers and fries so I can't pretend to know what their other food tastes like but I've been satisfied with all my previous orders.
i have never been a big fan of nathans, the boyfriend orders from them quite frequently, he gets the turkey or ham croissant all the time he really likes them but thats all he ever orders. i've tasted his croissants and they were ok, well groupon now gave me $5 and they had a $5 offer so i got it it was for a chicken pita, fries and pop. the sandwich was actually good, diced up pieces of grilled chicken breast with onions red and green peppers zucchini and squash. it came with a sauce but i didnt need it. the fries are horrible, idk i just dont like crinkle fries it was a good meal, a good free meal, thanks groupon!
Review Source:Their fries are decent, so if you want cheap fries... there ya go.
If you want a good neighborhood burger, go to Five Guys.
If you want good neighborhood Jerk, go to Uncle Joe's.
The Jerk Chicken was HORRIBLE. It was completely tasteless, dry, and the skin was rubbery. It looked old and I could also tell it had been frozen. How the heck do you make TASTELESS JERK?? You can't even call it jerk unless you prepare it with like a dozen spices! It was inedible, and the rice was just as tasteless. The plantain was undercooked. I ordered a slice of sweet potato pie, and when I tasted a small piece of it - I threw it out. It was (in keeping with the theme) TASTELESS. But the twist on that was the texture. It was gummy and pasty like flour or something had been added to the filling - YUCK.
The only reason I even ordered from Nathan's was because Uncle Joe's doesn't deliver and I didn't feel like walking there in the bitter cold.
That'll teach me to be lazy!
DO NOT... I repeat... DO NOT order Jerk from this place EVER. Just go to Uncle Joe's and deal with the super long wait. At least you'll get a decent meal.
I have to admit, I'm a fan of all things consistent. I'm also a fan of things that know what they are and don't try to be more than that. This Nathan's, for example, isn't high end cuisine. It's casual dining to its core.
I have not tried to eat the Jamaican cuisine, I stick to the grilled chicken pita sandwich with tomato, lettuce and onions, along with ranch dressing and fries.
It won't win any awards for design, but when you need food and are in the area but don't want something heavy...I frequent this spot. People I know have had other of the American-ized dishes and have not complained.
Pump your brakes before venturing into this joint. Â Being a Hyde Parker for years, I had tried every restaurant in my neighborhood with the exception of Nathan's. Â Damn, what a mistake it was to go here last night. Â Ordered the 4-Piece Jerk Meal and what I got was just south of frightening. Â The chicken looked retarded, like it had Down-Syndrome or something. Â Who puts gravy on top of Jerk Chicken? Â What I got was a gross representation of authentic Jamaican cuisine, a complete fraud. Â The infused curry in the food was not appealing, the rice & beans looked awful, too afraid to even try it. Â Visually I give the meal no points, for taste I'll yield 1 star. Â Nathan's is not the spot for good Jamaican food, it's your typical run-of-the-mill fast food joint that also sells tacos, burritos, hamburgers and hot-dogs. Â I'm sorry, just can't vibe with Nathan's.
Review Source:I went to Jamaica Jamaica on 7 Mile missing THIS place. Been going here for years and it's always good. I've had everything from the pattys to the full dinners always with the largest Ginger Beer they can give me. If I even think I am beginning to get sick I drive to Hyde Park and get the largest amount of Ginger Beer they are willing to part with (I call ahead.) Â I always carry out but will devour numerous pattys @ the counter, in the car and seldom have any left when arriving home. You should try this place, I hope it never shuts...
Review Source:We used to order the browned stewed chicken here, but then Uncle
Joe's opened up, and their brown stewed is much better
The brown stewed here is pretty flavorful and meat falls off the bone. But the red beans and rice accompanying is so disappointing. Â They have turned up the notch with the heat factor that literally after three bites, your mouth is on fire. Rice is not supposed to be that hot. Its supposed to be the quietly sitting sidekick. No so, in this case
Their side order of plantains is way overpriced!
Giving it three stars because rest of of the food is american fast food fare, and all of it pretty decent, no complaints there.
Just tried Nathan's for the first time. I will definitely go back. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, fries and a drink (the #4). The sandwich was quite good and the crinkle cut fries were of a good quality (some of the best in the area). The price was right and I can't wait to try some of the Jamaican menu options and the # 24 with grilled veggies. The ginger beer was spicy good and I bet it would go great with some jerk chicken. The gyro my bf got was good, not great. Good service. I would definitely suggest you try Nathan's if you are looking for good, cheap food and can't bear the thought of another fantastically greasy meal from Hyde Park gyro.
Review Source:Can I have a #24 please? Its the same dish I get all the time!!!
What is it you ask? Grilled vegetables and grilled chicken on a bed of Spanish rice. Its fresh, healthy, and awesome. I have tried the jerk chicken and plantains before and they are good as well. If you want a fresh and green salad they have those as well. Even though you can come up on a gyros, hot dogs, and a pizza puff...its such a well rounded menu that you can get a sample of something new each time you go.
I'm only going to rate them for their Chicago style food because I really don't trust the Jamaican stuff (ethnic food like that should be done by either that ethnicity or someone who really learned how from a master of cooking food from that ethnicity, here it's neither.)
So I'm gonna be comparing them to their direct rivals, Hyde Park gyro, one retail space away. Anyway, they have competitive prices, and the accept credit cards. Other than that, complete bomb. Food is subpar and very little space to eat.
Sampling the "Jamaican" side, I'm impressed. The Jamaican dinners come in very large portions. $7-8.50 buys an enormous mass of meat, rice, and beans. Â I have a relatively large appetite, but could not finish the curry goat in one meal.
I doubt anyone will confuse their grub for Rajun Cajun, but it's spicy, cheap, and massive. Â A good sketchy ethnic and hot dog restaurant overall.
All I've had here is the curry goat -- it's great stuff and it comes in a huge portion; I actually had to spread it out over three separate meals! Â Maybe the curry goat is quite as good as the curry lamb at Rajun Cajun, but it's still very good, it's still cheaper, and it still comes as a huge amount of food. Â For my buck, very worthwhile place.
Review Source:I've never been to the actual Nathan's restaurant on 53rd Street, but I used to order delivery from it all the time. It's one of the local Hyde Park restaurants on the <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FCampusFood.com&s=e8c03a36127464f26ef33995dc8219b0344f5d57bd6a893a474ad22d9d973d36" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://CampusFood.com</a> network, so ordering from there was always as simple as clicking a few buttons and waiting for the delivery guy to show up at my apartment. The food from Nathan's isn't something that I would eat every day, but it did serve its purpose. Whenever my friends and I wanted a meal that was greasy, filling, and of course, cheap --- we knew we could count on Nathan's. In all the times that I've ordered from there, they've only messed up my order once, which is impressive, considering the experiences I've had at other places. That's right, Little Wok, I'm looking at you...
