I always want to go to this place on Sunday when I'm hanging around house getting hungry but they are closed on Sundays. When I go during the week there is always a steady stream of customers but the wait is never long and the food is fresh and tasty. Pretty good specials under five bucks. Beef sandwiches are big and juicy not  skimpy like Al's beef down the street. Burgers are juicy and chat broiled small parking lot is also a plus but I usually find a spot in front though. Johnny's is still favorite but this is a close second
Review Source:Food is great and price is great however many times after work I hauled over there on the CTA bus to get there before 9pm on weekdays and the owner is sitting there  at 8:40ish, cleaning and saying theyre closed. Again, many times as in more than 3 in last 2 months. One time it was me and 2 other parties off the CTA bus. I work at a place where our hours is key to biz and I understand closing up early if slow however shutting down biz multiple times is not very customer friendly especially for take out, not dine in. besides that, the food is fatty and price is great however I think I'm done trying to beat the clock to get there.
Review Source:This place was deeeeeeelicious and just the sort of fare I was hankering for. Â My husband got the 2 hot dog, fries and pop deal and I got the 1/4 lb cheeseburger, fries, and pop deal. Â While the prices appear to have gone up compared to other reviewers (the total was $12 for ours), it was still a bargain because each combo was at least 5000 calories, so surely many days worth of meals for the price of one. Â That being said, if you aren't planning on eating like it's the end of the world, you can probably swing with just one basket of fries and one pop between two people (and still feel gorged, trust me). Â Best charburger I've ever had. My husband also commented on the perfect portion of the pickle spears in relation to the hot dogs... if you're in to that sort of thing.
Review Source:Love this place! Nothing like it! Good, cheap food fast! I've been going to this stop for many many years, they even know my name. Never been a disappointment. With any sandwich you order, they load it with a side of fries. Burgers, beef, dogs, gyros, chicken...all delicious. If you haven't tried their mozzarella sticks, you are missing out :)
Review Source:i Was waiting for my stereo to be installed at the place next to Quick Bites so I went over to grab a gyro and OH MY GOD THAT GYRO WAS SO GOOD. Â Everything seemed fresh, the meat was flavorful and juicy, not dried out, the pita was soft, the tzatziki was creamy - it was delicious. Â And at $4.45 for a gyro (no fried or drink), it's a steal.
Review Source:Good food no doubt about it. You have to have tough skin to place an order though. A called in order usually goes something like this:
"Yeah."
"Um....I'd like to place an order."
"Okay.
"I'd like X, Y and Z."
"Okay, bye."
The food coming out of this greasy spoon is far better than one would expect. All of the meats and breads taste fresh and are quite flavorful. The gyro plate is more than enough food for two people, but be sure to order an extra pita or two. The grilled chicken sandwich, as others have mentioned, is really good too. The chicken is obviously marinated for a lengthy period of time before grilling. Very tasty. The prices are cheap, but not earth shatteringly low like a Nhu Lan bahn mi. I really do like this place; however, I do feel that I should pop a Lipitor before eating here.
you know coming from the south side, a good beef is hard to come by on the north side but this place nailed it! thier burgers are great too and im not much of a burger person but before i went for the beef i tried the burger first. i have yet to be disapointed with the place i swear. the guys there are cool too gives me that taylor st patio feel. 5 stars for sure
Review Source:My kinda chicago hawwt dawwwg spot!!! True Chicago style hot dog stand you gotta love it!
The owner kinda looks like Kramer & he's like ayyy he's ya order
GREAT FOOD, specially their char chicken sammis yummm
i always order ahead and they got me! they always got on 80's music chanel i love this place :)
King of GYROS. Â
I grew up in Chicago and am a huge fan of gyros. Â I've been to a gazillion gyros places - ranging from the random corner hot dog spot to the big fancy places in Greek town. Â This is the best gyros by far.
Simply but perfectly prepared. Â Fresh pita, grilled. Â Gyros cut off the spit and fried so it's got a little crunch to it. Â Cool and creamy tzatziki sauce. Â Tomatoes and onions. Â Other places may have good pita but stale pitas, lots of places have weak tzatziki. Â This place is mouth watering good.
Beware - it's super tiny. Â Barely enough space to stand and wait for your food, Â There are a few stools if you want to eat as you stare at the traffic on Western Avenue, but I recommend getting your food to go and sitting in nearby Winnemac Park. Â You'll be happy to be alive.
I will have to be a little harsh on this place. I've try few things and I have to say I got sick with the gyro and that's when I stop trying the rest of the things on the menu. I do have to say they have GREAT fresh fried  fries and will be coming for more. But I think they could do a little bit better with the food and may be make the place look a little bit more friendly. Also they closed very early... very weird hours.
Review Source:This place kept me and my cousins alive when we were young. Our parents love to sleep in on Saturdays, so there wouldn't be anyone to cook for us. So, we would dump out our piggy banks and walk our happy butts to Quick Bite for some hot dogs and fries.
Quick Bite has the usual fast food items, but for some reason it's a billion time better and it's hella cheap too. Bombass food for teeny tiny small prices, doesn't get any better!
I remember when they put this place up and thought how can they possibly fit a little fast food place on this corner lot that already has an auto shop. It just looked goofy, from one type of grease to another.
Imagine having a whole hot dog stand in your bedroom. Ok, now add a little standing room to come in and order and by the windows put narrow counters and stools. This is the extent of it, how can this be possible?
We just released two turtles into the wild from a 10 gallon tank. They had more room in that tank than the guys behind the counter at QB. Seriously, if you have ever gone into this place when they are busy, how do they do it? They don't have exterior storage or freezer and for sure, they don't have a basement. Where do they hide all the food?
Now if you go a little way in any direction you'll find some serious stands that have a rep, seating and parking. Yet, people will actually drive to this place, take on the challenge of parking during lunch time and have it to go.
Whatever you order from this place you will be generally pleased, more so if you have low standards or are extremely hungry. You will definitely get it cheaper here than the other guys or view it as getting a lot for your money. Overall, it is not so much in having a quick bite, but in getting a good deal.
I come in for the dog and I've gone to places that charge double and can't do it as well as these guys. Sure, for a buck seventy five you are not going to get the perfect hot dog, plus it comes with fries. Who cares if it is not the Chicago Seven, just shut your mouth and enjoy the damn thing. A Vienna is still a Vienna even though it is small and skinless.
Have you ever wondered where fat guys with over the top Chicago accents go for lunch? Â
The gyro combo for $5.99 caught my eye and was everything I'd hoped. Â Crisp fries, gyro with lots of meat and sauce. Â Diet Coke. Â To make it healthy. Â
There also seem to be crazy awesome hamburger and hot dog specials which is great to know because I hate buying my hamburgers from that creepy clown down the street but I don't want to spend more than five dollars.
Upon approaching Quick bite, snuggled into the corner of Foster and Western, you'd probably never think about giving them a 5-star review. Â I've frequented this spot on occassion and it has quickly become one of my favorite hot dog spots in the city. Â
It's really all about Quality-price-ration and with that being said, Quick Bite is insane. Â I happen to be a hot-dog special aficionado. Â I've noticed in recent years, that the Two-dog special has dropped from a lot of menus. Â What a fucking shame. Â Quick-Bite boasts two dogs, fries and a drink for $3.99. Â As well, they're dogs are the real deal, the fries are crisp. Â Just a great spot all around. Â Stop by on a week day and you'll understand why they're a line out the door. Â By the way, the bowls of Giardiniera are a nice touch.
Nice to see that Quick Bite still sells a hot dog and fries for super cheap at $1.75. Â That same amount of money will get you about a small soda at most grease joints in LA. Â Aside from the tasty hot dogs and gyro, what I remember about this place is that the owners were always incessantly cleaning the grill in between orders. Â That is a sight unseen at most of the family owned Vienna beef joints in Chitown and beyond. Â I used to refer to him at the Grill Nazi.
Having been invited to a couple weddings in Chicago in January, I can't stop thinking about 1) eternal love and 2) grabbing a Chicago style dog at Superdawg, Hot Doug's, or on the super-cheap at Quick Bite. Â For those that live near at or near Lincoln Square, you gotta check this place out.
Believe it or not, this place has a bangin grilled chicken sandwich. I have to call before I go there just to make sure they haven't sold out of it for the day, and if they have some left, I make sure to reserve mine cause it might be gone in the 6 minutes it takes me to get there. This is serious, man!
I won't lie. I've tried to duplicate whatever the marinade is for their chicken. I've failed every time, lol. He has that marinade cornered. Â I also like how plentiful the gyros plate is here. I like my gyro meat a little charred, but not burnt. They get it just right. If I ate fried food I'd be raving about how fries come with most everything which is how spots like this should be.
The only reason I don't give them 5 stars is because they do don't Chicago hot dogs they way they should be done. Otherwise, Quick Bite is the tops for fast to-go Chicago food. The grilled chicken sandwich is the bizness which sets them apart from the many other similar places. If anything, stop by for that.
OK this is a weird place for me. I'm vegan. but I like hot dogs.
what's weird is that I realized that it isn't really the hot dog part I like, it's the toppings. bf and I go in and order 2 "veggie dogs" and 2 fries.
Lunch for 2 = Less than $4. rejoice!
forewarning: it's crazy in there around lunch time, and there's rarely parking in the lot. go east on foster and there's usually spots on the street. the same two guys are always working. they never really look happy, and there are usually people out the door, sometimes wrapped around the building. but I bet they sleep well at night.
I have lived in this town/burbs my whole life, and Quick Bite is EXACTLY what you should expect from a good dog joint. Â Cheap, fast and tasty. Â The outside has recently been updated, so it's a lot cleaner looking than it used to be. Â Besides, you're only there for all of 4 minutes. Â 1. Walk in, say "dog and fries with everything, to go" Â 2. give them $5. (AND GET BACK CHANGE!!) Â 3. Then, hop back in your ride and go.
Review Source:This is my favorite hot dog joint.
why?
because i enjoy hot dogs and they make a good hot dog.
and the hot dog comes with fries.
for less than $2. (price has now been raised to $1.75 plus tax (now $1.95), but whatever)
i know, right? hot dog and fries for less than $2.
the hot dog is a skinny hot dog, not a jumbo, but that is cool. cause other places like huey's in andersonville sell the same size hot dog with hollow burnt french fries for $4.00
and their other food is delicious and reasonably priced.
the gyros are good, the burgers are good.
and the people that work there are nice, but blunt.
if you take too long to order, they will tell you, "hey, i have more customers ."
quick bite makes me happy. not like my abusive dad moving to boston happy. but happy like "oh man, i only have money for toliet paper or a hot dog." hot dog it is.
Alright ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to report that the world has not ended. There are still people out there who know how to make a great hot dog at a hot dog price.
I am tired of these so-called "hot dog stands" that try and look all mom and pop but they charge you otherwise. Although it looks like a dump (as all good hot dog joints should!) it's a goldmine. less than 2 bucks for a hot dog and fries is unbeatable since Demon Dogs closed. The taste is how a wonderful Chicago dog should be.
Only downfalls are that it is a decent hike from public transportation and the parking "lot" is a pain in the rear to maneuver.
I'm not a huge fans of hot dog stand type food, Â but every once in awhile you just HAVE to have a hot dog... and this is where I go. Granted, not because they are the best hot dogs in the city or anything, more or less because they are a 2 min walk away. But regardless, I still love Quick Bite.
Two brothers own the place and they are always the ones in there making and serving everything. They give really generous portions of everything (one brother more so than the other) and are really nice, laid back guys. It's small in there, just a few stools in front of the windows, so most people take it to go or just eat standing. There is also a walk up window outside(which very people use... but it is an option) and a nice sized parking lot. Remember they are are closed on Sundays.
I don't know that I would come from miles away, but if you are sitting in traffic on foster and western and suddenly get that urge for a hot dog, it's a great place to stop.
Quick Bites is a really reasonable hot dog stand that has great gyros. The portions are so generous I sometimes cannot even finish the gyros. Their hot dogs and fries are just OK, but who can complain when you are paying less than $2? They have limited counter seating and a small parking lot, so it's best to take it to go.
Review Source:I just love little mom and pop type hot dog stands. They are true Americana history. Â This place offers some great deals. Â You can get 2 dogs (with full sized tomatoes, pickles, onions), a nice size order of fries and a pop for under $4! Â The bow wows are very good. Â They also serve other tasty items. Â Get them to go (no dining room) and just enjoy!
