We stopped in randomly and had delicious Italian beef and hot dogs. Spotlessly clean. EXTRAORDINARILY friendly service. Obvious pride of their business. This is my favorite type of restaurant!

I popped into this place on a whim. The first thing I saw was the Vienna Beef Hall of Fame banner. Thats always a good sign. The gentleman behind the counter and took my order. As I was waiting he was greeting people by first name. And knew what they wanted. I received my 2 hot dog they come with a half order of French fries. The dog was beefy and the topping were fresh. The peppers had a nice heat. The thick crinkle cut fries were crisp and really complimented the hot dog. Overall it was a good experience, plus they have a honorary street named after the place.

This was my first time visiting and we were greeted with a huge smile and hello from the daughter of the owner what a beautiful lady. The food was so yummy, the best cheese burgers I've had in a while, good-sized meat. I highly recommend this location if your in the area. It's nicely decorated with sports memorabilia and very cozy and clean. The owner asked me to come back on my birthday because our birthday are both in November, that was so sweet.

Papa Chris is across from the Leaning Tower of Niles if you know where that is. It's a typical older family-owned joint. My kinda place. The folks were friendly and the prices were great. My gyro was filled with really tasty meat but the tzatziki sauce didn't quite do it for me. A little bland, maybe. More cucumber, less yogurt. Something.Anyway, everything else was great. Thumbs up.

Surprisingly good! I have gone to a bunch of places like this, but I will say that this one has probably the most unique dishes and all of them fresh. I like the Francheezie which isn't very common in other places. Its cheese, bacon, and a hot dog. Its a heartattack, but good! My nephews got chicken fingers which were pretty large and everything came with fries. You can't go wrong. They also have a sizable seating area with plenty of space for larger areas. Theres millions of places like this in the area and across Chicagoland, but this is the best of them all! I will be stopping by again!

I just wanted a simple Polish. Instead I get this beautifully chard with perfectly grilled onions and ends sticking out. Absolutely perfect. Make them like that and I'll definitely be back.

Papa Chris' Place has been around for more than 30 years, and it's located in front of the YMCA. Their menu offers burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, and dinner specialties, such as rotisserie chicken, BBQ ribs, and shish kabobs.A group of us came here for a late lunch after doing some grocery shopping in the area, and we ordered:+1/4 lb Charbroiled Hamburger - came topped with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, mustard, and ketchup+Hot & Fries - Chicago-style+Gyros - served on pita bread with tomatoes, onions, and homemade tzatziki sauce+a side of friesThe food was made-to-order; everything tasted fine, and I think the burger was the preferred item out of what was ordered. Service was very welcoming and friendly, and there were plenty of seats inside - I like the vibe of this place, as it's a quintessential Chicago family-owned restaurant.Plenty of parking in their private lot.+friendly service!+private lot for your vehicle
