It's small sure I'm a step make that you can easily overlook driving by on Evans. But don't drive by. Seriously good food awaits you inside. The walls are covered in Chicago places and Bulls paraphernalia. Looks like a collection a long time building.The staff here is friendly and welcoming. You can tell there's a lot of pride in what they serve here. And I knew this was gonna be authentic when I walked in and they were talking animatedly about very nice Chicago lore. It'll take a minute, this isn't fast food. But it is so worth the wait. I had the sausage and pepper sandwich. It filled the dish. Covered in gooey cheese. So so good. And their fries might be the best fries I've ever eaten. The whole meal was amazing.

Looking for a quick bite this is the place you should go. The food was served fast and it had a great taste. The Gyro tasked like the original flavors. It came with fries and the fries were perfectly cooked. I would love to taste other dishes as well.Loved it!

This establishment knows the true Chitown tastes! The Italian Beef is always great and I never have had a bad one. The restaurant is always clean with a good music vibe playing. One day I'm going to catch the catfish and spaghetti I've heard it's to die for. My only complaint is sometimes you have to wait to be waited on, but I guess great food is worth the wait! I forgot to take pics when it first came out, but my wife had the catfish sandwich and I had the Italian Beef with peppers. Check them out it's shonuff good!

There's literally no place like home but because I am unable to make it home, I'm so glad I was able to get a taste of home in San Antonio. This spot has been on my list and since I was attending a basketball game in San Antonio, I had to stop by. The owner is originally from Chicago and she's so sweet. She provided prompt responses when I messaged her on Facebook and even messaged me to let me know she'd be running late due to a catering job running over. Also, while at the restaurant, she made sure to come from the kitchen and greet the customers. Yes, she's the owner and only cook! If you are familiar with Chicago food, you'd know it's hard to find it here in Texas. This restaurant carries a variety of foods from fried chicken and mild sauce, hot dogs, Italian Beefs and more! I ordered the half open face Italian Beef, dipped. This included mozzarella cheese and mild Giardiniera peppers and it tastes just how I remebered. I didn't expect for it to be as large as it was so I was glad I didnt order the full open face sandwich. Just know, you'll get your money's worth. The establishment is fairly small, probably able to seat 15 people. The walls are covered with all things Chicago from celebrities to the beautiful skyline. The restroom is even decorated with the Chicago flag. There is ample parking in the strip mall where the restaurant is located. Whenever I am San Antonio, I'll always make a stop to get a piece of home.

Everything was delicious however part of my order was missing AFTER asking if that was everything. Seems to be a trend to be missing items even when asking for confirmation. They assure you, but don't understand why they are being asked. We are tired of missing food and groceries and having to make extra efforts to retrieve or refund. We ask because we do not want to waste time on corrections.At least I didn't have to return for a refund. It was automatically credited to my account. That is a blessing because it is far from my place.

This small family orientated place has some amazing food. The dogs were perfect. Made to order and tasted better than the last place I tried. I love the sense of community in this place, representing their Chicago pride. I will have to come back and try the soul food Sundays. Serving their jumbo wings with cat fish sounds delicious. We were sitting to look at the menu and the cashier came up and asked if we needed help, it showed a great sense of taking care of the customers. And he was super nice when we told him that we're still looking at the menu. I gotta come back and try their lemonade, and soul food. 10/10. Perfect for those wanting a great Chicago style dog.Thank you!

Upon arriving, I was kindly greeted by the owner. They had some good music playing. I loved the variety of the menu and how clean the restaurant was, especially the tables.The owner provided excellent service and was attentive. It seems like they are very connected and supportive of the community, which is truly awesome.I had the original Chicago hot dog and a wing + catfish combo. The food was well seasoned and prepared. All of the meats were well cooked and delicious and the fries were okay.I will definitely be returning!

SO glad I was home to have a lunch date with the hubby and finally the A Chicago Bite! I'd heard about it during Black History Month where Black-owned businesses in SATX were being highlighted, but I haven't been able to make it over to the NE side until now (we are NW).A Chicago Bite is HITTIN'! I lived in ChiTown as a kiddo in the 90's and the restaurant reminded me of all the good spots we used to visit and enjoy. With Chicago sports memorabilia gracing the walls, I was taken back to the days of Da Bulls! and Three-peats! Such a great era!I'd always known Chicago for their dogs and deep dish pizza, but saw I was missing out on the Italian Beef!! Listen, shaved beef, cheese, and peppers is always a recipe for deliciousness in my book, lol. And I was not wrong on this! I liken it to a Chicago version of an open face Philly cheesesteak Mmmmmm, so good! I got mild peppers and it gave it the PERFECT flavor. I'm going to force myself to try something different the next time, just to explore, but may have to get the Italian beef to go My husband, a juxta-Chicago Gary, IN native, was amped to have some fried catfish with a side of spaghetti here in SATX. He was reminiscing the entire meal, lol. He said it was hittin'! Looks like Krystal, the owner, is true to her Chicago roots I finished off the meal with the peach cobbler from scratch. Yessssss! Fantastical! I almost got one to go so I could warm it up at home and add ice cream, lol. Hubby got the banana pudding - but that was just ok. His Army mom still holds the throne for best banana pudding, haha.Highly recommend everyone trying out A Chicago Bite and get a "Taste of Chicago" right here in Tejas - you won't regret it. We will definitely be back - again and again.!

I will be gracious with those restaurant owner as she is a hardworking individual. Everything is scratch made, so that is great." As food comes out hot.The location is very well presented. The interior decor and layout is comfortable and definitely makes a statement.I had the original Chicago dog. I'd never had one of these and found this hot dog overbearing in flavors. It is for an acquired taste. I order a couple of jumbo wings. These came out piping hot and were delicious. Definitely .
