Poor Boy 2

Pretty great selection of food. Small dining area.

Poor Boy 2 is #1!

If you're ever in the mood for some excellent gyros (like we were tonight knowing January is when people go on diets) then this is THE SPOT!  

I was a little leery on making this a choice at first, but after reading other yelp reviews, we decided Poor Boy 2 was worth a trip.  Let me tell you....POOR BOY 2 WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!  Don't get skewed into thinking this little strip of stores won't offer something great.

My wife and I made it over to the supposedly "BEST GYROS" (according to the Daily Herald) on Wheaton's N. Main a few months ago .  I would love to know who paid DH off for those votes. (those aforementioned gyros are nasty, greeeeezy and OMG I'm going to be up all night!)  In my opinion there is NO COMPARISON!  Outside of Gemato's in Naperville, Poor Boy 2 has THE BEST GYROS around.  Pita griddled to perfection, gyro meat pilled just high enough and topped with nice fresh creamy tzatziki sauce.

Lastly, instead of shouting out ready orders to everyone within the fairground area, the guy (chef) was even kind enough to bring out our order to our stools where we waited and thanked us before we left to partake in gluttony in the comfort of our own home.

One suggestion I'd like to make (and earn that 5th star) would be to replace their current frozen fries with fresh cut fries.

None-the-less, Poor Boy 2 will be seeing us making many return visits.

Poor Boy 2 is a restaurant serving Chicago Style Food located in Wheaton off of Roosevelt Road. Inside there are a few tables, some stools and a counter to sit on. A large menu board to the left of the order counter showing all of their menu items, and even a few picnic tables outside the door.

First off let me go over the Hot Dog served here. The hot dog they serve is a Red Hot Chicago branded dog served on a soft non-poppy seed bun. To my delight the pickle is thinly cut, they use the right amount of onions, relish, mustard and use sport peppers that are neither too hot or too large which properly compliment the dog itself. The relish used is a little sour, and I don't detect any celery salt. But beyond those few flaws this is a good quality Chicago style hot dog.

Where Poor Boy's excels even more is at grilling things, their burgers have nice thin well grilled patties with a nice char flavor to them, their chicken sandwich is good as well.

Overall Poor Boy 2 is a quality establishment serving traditional Chicago-Style eats. I recommend it!
