Yummy food and great prices! Just took our daughter for ice cream and the hubby and I had a chicken sandwich and hot dog with fries, everything super delicious and fresh! This may be a hidden gem. Will go back.

Old school diner aesthetic. Great selection of options. Their junior gyro pita was perfectly crisped, meat was tender, not too much sauce, and the onion and tomato are thick cuts which retains the crunch. I think they have the best gyro in the area!

Cute 50's diner vibes with a standard selection of burgers, gyros and fried food. They do have Greek chicken that I'll try next time, but no Greek potatoes which was disappointing. Hubby got the chicken gyro and thought it was good. I got the fried shrimp dinner which was what you'd expect. It came with a small cup of coleslaw, garlic bread, and a baked potato. I'd go back here for a scoop of ice cream next time - they have a good selection of flavors.

Not the same Bo Bo's I remember. New owners have ruined it. Last time I ordered my usual Italian combo, it came with a bratwurst! WTH ?This time, stale bread, skimpy beef !Sorry Bo Bo's, you lost me.....

I've been eating here on and off for most of my life, and it's always decent. This is a no frills kind of place and sometimes you just need some classic Chicago style fast food. The place could be a little cleaner, but it wasn't as bad as some other similar places. Today I had the gyro plate, it comes with fries and a salad. The salad is a bit more interesting than your average salad, it has feta, olives, and egg in it. The gyro meat is always good here, but it was on the colder side this time. Not too cold, but room temperature is still not how you want your meat served. The fries were great, those old-school fries are a nostalgia bomb for me. The food here all reminds me of my childhood, and even more so with the retro atmosphere and the oldies playing on the radio. This is a classic joint, and if you want an affordable meal it's a solid option. It's not great but it's good enough and sometimes that's all you need.

Horrible Customer Service! They had a sign in the window for a 1/4 Cheeseburger meal for 6.45. However, when I ordered it they tried to charge me over a $1 more stating the price has gone up and pointed to the sign inside the store. I stated that's not what your sign says outside. That's when the manager got involved and stated they cant figure out how to remove the sign and would not honor the price.I know I am complaining about a $1 but that is wrong. You can't advertise something on your store front and not honor it.The manager actually told me to go remove the sign cause he can't figure out how then he would honor the price. That's a joke!On top of it the restaurant was empty and dirty with 3 people working but not cleaning.I will never go back!

Unique decor and atmosphere. Feels like a fast food joint from the 70's. The staff is polite which is a plus, but the place feels a bit run down and needs an upkeep.

I saw the reviews and I was craving gyros so I came here on my lunch break. When I walked in, two people behind the counter saw me. I know they saw me because they proceeded to look for for about 30 seconds before walking away. The person behind the register also saw me and looked annoyed there I was there. There was only one table of customers when I got there. He also did not say a word. Not being acknowledged when you're standing right in front of someone is uncomfortable and I ended up leaving instead of ordering. What a shame.

This place is an institution. This iconic 1950's diner themed hot dog joint has been doing things right since 1994. The folks that currently run this restaurant have customer service at the front of mind which is something that you don't always see anymore. The hamburgers, hotdogs, Italian beef, and especially the chicken are on point and exactly what you look for in a place like this. Come for the food and stay for the huge selection of ice cream treats!

I had the gyro sandwich and double burger. I like that the food tastes good and is top quality. The ice cream and milkshakes also look good. I get that this place isn't fancy and I like that it's an old-fashioned diner. The staff is very friendly and was everything that I wanted in a dining experience. Ordering online was also convenient.
