Loops is solid. Good for takeout. Timely service from the staff. A no frills eatery. My son loved his meatball sub. Their fries are up there with some of the best in the city. I had the Italian beef and it was great.

There's parking behind the building! I ordered the Titan, which I ate without taking a picture, and it was delicious! It was pita bread with loads of toppings, pork and veggies! I ended up cutting it up into pieces since there were so many ingredients! Service was fast and the guy running the cash register was very helpful about the items on the menu.

I haven't eaten here in awhile ,but I was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop in and place a to go order. The staff was very friendly and greeted me as soon as I came in. The food was just like I remember the last time everything made to order so you know that your food is fresh. They also a small area outside where you can eat. I will be back soon and try more delicious food.

I love everything that Loops stands for, but I can't say that I love everything that Loops makes. However, I do like most of it. I've visited several times over the years, and their goal is aspirational: replicating the signature dishes of a city that loves its food. But that comes with high expectations...The most consistent winner is the Chicago style Loops Dog. The Maxwell Street Polish is fine if you need a Columbus-based fix, but it's not as true to Chicago form as the hot dog. I'd say the same about the Italian Beef as well. Credit goes to Loops for creating the Gyro Roll. The spicy version exceeded my expectations. The combination of fried dough, gyro meat, spices and dip was a highlight of my recent visit. The core fries are really good on their own; I find that the versions with loaded toppings try to fix something that isn't broken. That said, the fries did come with a service snafu as it wasn't included in my takeout order. Fortunately I recognized this in the parking lot, and upon returning the fries were provided without a hassle. Overall, when I'm in a mood for a Chicago dog and fries, Loops is 5 stars. But there's a drop off when branching out into other Chicago staples.

After hearing a lot of good things about Loops, we have it a try and we're really happy we did! We did a takeaway order (live less than 10 mins.) Everything we ordered was piping hot still when we got home to eat. First things first: everything positive said about Loops fries is spot on. SO GOOD! A small order is huge too and worth every penny of $4. I got the Clark Street and it was delicious. The meats were tender and not dry. The peppers and mushrooms were fresh and perfectly cooked. The pita soft and cheese gooey. I'd absolutely get it again and definitely recommend it.Also tried a traditional gyro and it was very good too. The tzatziki wasn't the best we ever had but all in all, it was a good gyro. The side of chili was more like a cup of coney sauce so might not get that again, but it was still good, just not what was expected. The prices were really fair too, especially given how expensive typical fast food is now. Definitely give it a try!

Was on DDD twice. Cute little place. Great customer service. But the food was horrible!! The fetafire I had and I took one bite and I literally almost puked. It was horrible. Even the falafel was gross. (I eat a lot of places and I've never done that before.). Tried the meatball sub, it was ok but I expected it to be way better since it was on the show!!Definitely do not recommend it. And never would go back as I wasted the money that I did spend on this trip. As far as 2 stars it's definitely because of the staff that was there!

I had seen this joint on DDD and wanted to hit it for a while now and I am so glad I made it there. The Dude cooking when Guy visited was manning the grill--which was a nice surprise. They were friendly and the place was clean. I had a Chicago dog and it was delicious and reasonable. I will go back for an Italian Beef next time

It LOOKS like an Italian Beef but the bread is wrong. Too doughy - not at all like the crusty french rolls served at any Vienna got dog stand in the city.If you really need a fix it kinda works.Acropolis used to sell a great Beef alas they took it off the menu
