Chicken shawarma on Iraqi bread
Jeremías C.

I had their chicken shawarma sandwich on Iraqi bread, lentil soup and a 6 piece falafel. I really enjoyed their food. I ordered on their website. Food was ready on time and they actually gave me more falafels than 6. The chicken sandwich was loaded with chicken. The lentil soup was piping hot and very flavorful. The falafel were really good. It was interesting cause the falafel wasn't green inside it was white. I didn't eat inside but it was clean inside. I'd definitely go back.

1/2&1/2 Shawarma Plate Lentil Small Turshi
Mary H.

The service here is superb. Even though it's a fast-casual spot, the staff is genuinely attentive and treats you with care. Despite the place being packed, I got my food quickly. And the food is PHENOMENAL. Hands down the best Mediterranean I've had. I'd recommend it to anyone. It's absolutely worth trying, and chances are, you'll find yourself coming back. Also, the garlic and Amba sauces are top tier. I could go on and on about this place.

Beef Shawarma Arabi Plate
Johnny K.

The best place for authentic Iraqi style middle eastern food. I come every Friday for a bowl of the lentil soup and the beef shawarma arabi style. Food is made to order, but worth the wait. Staff is always very friendly and welcoming, and the Assyrian music and ambiance throughout makes it feel like home.

Have only been here once - Pretty decent arab food but I don't think the quality for the price is better than Pita Inn or Zad.

I'm crazy disappointed this place is leaving classic. The food, the people, the simplicity of this…read moreplace is beyond amazing. I really hope they find a place soon to carry this business. It's funny I come near Woodstock, and I always make that joke "Boba burger?" anytime I'm in the area with my buddies The other day one of the owners kids was playing near the register and you know its moments like that where they're just happy and such great people with great hospitality to there customers. I've reviewed this place once before: Tokyo dog, Lechon burger, large fries, and triple berry smoothie is my go-to. I seriously don't exaggerate you need to come by before they close. I hope they find a place quickly because you know I sure will always come back.

We dropped in for a quick dinner. This place is super busy. They make your food to order which is…read moregreat. It's a serve yourself kinda place. They mainly do pick up business. It's inside a bowling Alley. The folks are really friendly and nice. The food is decent. The burger's are 5 oz. and made fresh. You get a nice brioche bun with fresh lettuce and tomatoes and cheese. The drink options aren't huge. It's not a place you linger or have a conversation. The onion rings are nice and crispy but for me I don't like the huge batter centric rings. I like a light batter with crunch so you can taste the onion. The fires are just okay. Most were a bit soggy for me.

Their house burger with all of the add ons (thicc cut bacon/caramelized onions/dill pickled…read morejalapeños) was one of the best burgers I've ever had in my LIFE. Definitely going to try the Too Gouda Be True Burger next time! Cheese curds were Wisconsin level delicious, and the fry flight with garlic aioli was the perfect accompaniment to both. Finally, the Biscoff Cheesecake Cookie and butter rum dipping sauce completely took me by surprise. Just worked on so many levels of familiar yet innovative. So tasty! Great service, great burger joint and live music bar environment (complete with a very talented live band). And really just full of great people that you can tell care about the food they serve. Highly recommend stopping by for one of (if not THEE) best burgers in Chicago !

The service was great and the workers friendly. 3 of us went and we each ordered a different burger. We had the Plain Jane, House Burger and Too Goulda be True. On my house burger I opted for the extras, bacon and caramelized onions. For me, the bacon was too thick. It made for a pull instead of a clean bite. I took it off the burger and ate it by itself. It was delicious! The burger was great. It is probably the juiciest smash burger I have tried so far. This is a nice little neighborhood spot that you should go support.

I was in the mood for a good burger for carry out, and hadn't been here in a while. I had also…read morenever used the drive thru since you can order food this way now. Expecting a long wait, I was pleasantly surprised that while I was asked to pull to the side, my wait was only 5-6 minutes. I ordered a combo meal and when I got home my food was still hot. The burger was as good as I remembered! Fresh, quality beef and prepared exactly how I requested. I upgraded to the Parmesan truffle fries and while they tasted great, TBJ still cannot seem to make crisp French fries. They were again soggy as always and very disappointing. I remember my daughter loving their burgers/patty melts and always telling me to skip the fries. They really need to work on that. For a $16 combo meal I would expect better. (My Diet Pepsi was great.) Ha ha ha

The fries were still warm (though a little soggy) when I arrived at my destination (abt five minutes). I do love skin-on fries though, and I enjoyed them. The burger was ok -- not hot, not really warm either, a little too much sauce. I am willing to try again but I'll probably have to eat in the restaurant. Good customer service though -- friendly staff -- and I am pleased that they included a large stack of napkins and container of ketchup, even without me asking.
