1519 W. Taylor St., Chicago, IL 60607
A Quick Word:
An amazing burger & gyro joint in the middle of Taylor St. (Chicago's Little Italy). And honestly they have one item on the menu that is simply the best! The Gyro Double Cheeseburger! Whenever you go here.. order this PLEASE! I have been here multiple times and I get it every time! The only problem with this place is the hit or miss on the other items. Sorry but I forgot to take pictures of some of their wraps... I wouldn't really order them except for the Jalapeño Chicken one.
What I Ate:
All I can say is UNREAL! This double cheeseburger is made to order... They grill the patties to a nice little char crust and somehow it remains extremely juicy! Then they add a slice of cheddar cheese between the patties and begin to assemble the burger! They toast the buns on the grill also and then the put lettuce, tomato, and onion. If that wasn't enough, they top it off with a HANDFUL OF GYRO MEAT!! And a nice helping of tzatziki sauce. You have to try it! And also their french fries are some of the best because they are thick cut and freshly fried to order... none of that sitting on the side getting cold stuff like other restaurants do. And get the cheese but get it on the side though. Fresh food tastes so much better!
The DOs/DON'Ts:
DO:
- Do bring cash... their credit card machine seems to be down frequently and you don't want to pay that extra fee for the ATM.
- If you are in a rush, do call ahead and have them start cooking the food. Since its made fresh it takes a little time.
DON'T:
- Honestly, DON'T order anything else besides the Gyro Double Cheeseburger... and yes get the double!
- Also like all other Little Italy posts... don't forget to pay for parking... If you are lucky, park in front of Pompeii because they have a 20 minute flashing zone which is plenty of time!
How far would I walk for this food?
