Maxwell Style Polish
Moises T.

I've been to AV Anthony's a few times before, but this was the first time I actually sat down and I'm so glad I did. The place has this super cool rustic Americana feel, vintage street signs covering the ceiling and walls. It's like a time capsule, but in the best way. Definitely gives it character and it top of that the lady at the front was super nice, excellent service. I ordered my go-to: the Maxwell Street-style Polish, and man, they nailed it. It came out hot, fresh, and loaded. The grilled onions were charred and sweet, the sport peppers with right kick, and the Polish itself had that classic taste when you bite into it, juicy an flavorful. The fries were golden, crispy on the outside and soft inside and they give you a good portion too. Every bite of that meal was just pure bliss. Solid food that hits every craving dead-on. This place is worth it, If you've ever had a Maxwell Polish and you miss that taste, this spot is the way to go. Casual, cool, and damn satisfying.

Raw burger

I'm only giving it a one star just cuz I can't put none! It was a bad experience all along especially with the guy they have at the counter. He's just like a walking anxiety person rushing us to place an order. We enter the restaurant at 11:45 still time to be able to place an order. We order three burgers, two fries and a cup of cheese. I ordered a gyro burger we didn't get the gyro meat they added bacon instead and we never added bacon then all three burgers were raw on top of that. The guy at the register he was so rude unprofessional I don't even know why they have him working if he can't do his job the way it's supposed to be with customer service. I'm really disappointed that I spent so much money at this place knowing damn well I didn't get what I wanted out of it! On top of that we didn't get our cup of cheese. I called the place to complain about my food not being done well and the same person that was at the register, saying my manager will be in the morning and hangs up very rudely. Over all I came home to having to throw away my food. I realized my burger was raw when I was 3 bites on and used my phone flashlight to see if I saw it right. It was definitely an aggravating experience they need someone way better at the register. Not going there again.

My dry chicken and baked potato that I was able to cut into chunks because it wasn't "baked" through.

I've ordered from here three times and not one time has the food been appetizing. I've had the chicken gyro, regular gyro and the plain chicken dinner. They do not add enough sauce to the gyro and the chicken was so dry I had to add barbecue sauce to it and that didn't help, so I threw everything away. I have never had chicken so dry. Baked potato was not baked all the way through, it was still solid in the middle. The only thing good about the chicken dinner was the garlic bread. The leg and the chicken wing were so overdone there was no meat left to it. The breast and the thigh were charred so bad it was dry. Waste of money. I ordered online so I didn't have to stand in line and when I got there. I had to wait 5 minutes to get up to the counter with one person in line and then I was left standing there just waiting to pick up my order for another 5 minutes. I ordered online and paid online so I don't think I should be standing in line for 10 minutes waiting for my food. I really wanted to like this place because they're open until midnight and everything pretty much closes at 10pm. Next time I'll just go to White Castle where I know what to expect from my food.

Grecian Chicken

Visited this location for lunch today after dropping my son off at the airport walked in the young lady taking orders was very friendly and very polite and very helpful. The restaurant was immaculate so clean so bright so organized outstanding super super clean place my order receive my food and the food was amazing. We ordered the Grecian chicken, a hamburger lemonade and vanilla ice cream cone. All of the food was amazing some of the best ice cream in the entire city. The grease and chicken was enough for lunch and dinner outstanding service outstanding food. Excellent the restaurant is so clean and bright and the food is amazing exceeded all expectations.

The Big Baby (double cheeseburger) and shake

I got the big baby and chocolate shake, ive been coming here a while now, the food is great and the atmosphere is good as well, the workers are warm and welcoming, the place is rustic looking on the inside, the bathroom is clean, they have a rotating shake for different seasons, and a different soup of the day

We did take out, strawberry shake

AV Anthony's can be very busy at times, the wait wasn't long at all today. It was quiet & only had a few people in the diner. The prices are decent, they have a daily special.

Wide variety to order and dine in is available!
Brian W.

My travels took me to Chicago Midway. This is the one off restaurants that make Chicago food so good! They do allow indoor dining. I ordered the Italian beef and my girlfriend got the gyro. The Italian beef was extremely tasty and is moist with dipping sauce already applied! The gyro meat was very favorable and not dried out one bit. The pita was perfect with a golden brown roast. Both were 5/5 in flavor! I'd give AV a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the wait. We waited over 30min for our food. Do not come here if you are on a short time situation, or call in your order ahead of time! If you have the time they are definitely worth checking out... I know I'll be back!

First time here and I ordered delivery online . I order an Italian Beef dipped with cheese and hot peppers . It was OK . Not portillos of course , but I have had better . The service was quick for pick up . Will I be back again . I'm not sure .

6 pieces "Chicken Wings" instead salty already breaded portions
F F.

I would like to say I am disappointed, annoyed, and disgusted with my food. I work nights, and I order my food so when I come home, I can eat and rest for the next working night. I was craving BBQ. I should have known better than to order that type of cruise around 10pm, but I had done it before, and the food was fine; then again, those were other places and pick-ups. I ordered off Uber Eats, Ribs, Rib Tips, 6 "Chicken Wings", Maxwell styled Polish. Others are in the home to collect the meal. When I got home, the food looked like it wasn't touched; I should have guessed, and thought they were being polite and waited til I ate, but that was not the case. The potions were annoyingly small and not at all what expected. The flavor was off, specifically the ribs, flavorless and burned to taste even though they were oven-cooked. I noticed that with the ribs tips, slimy and mediocre to my taste buds. The sauce was highly vinegarette. You order "chicken wings," which they have a picture of, and get potions, and the taste is so salty. The only thing that could be saved was the Polish; truthfully, I'm horrified to try it.​ The amount I paid for this was highly embellished. I should have done more research or just waited. Not satisfied at all.

Gyro Platter (yes, there is a pita down there somewhere).
Kyle V.

Holy menu overload. This was a quick option close to Midway that provided a lot of food for a cheap price! I opted for the Gyro Platter and it was massive. The meat was fantastic but it was pretty hard to eat! I had to eat half the meat by itself before I could even pick up the pita! (This is a good thing). The fries were your average traditional boring fries. I also wasn't a fan of the off brand soda but that's a small complaint to their great food options.

'Tony's Italian Beef' is spectacular. Located near in Chicago IL, getting there is a long drive…read morefor anyone who doesn't live in the area. But even 90 minutes in a car is worth it, especially if if you figure out a way to widen your journey, like combining Tony's with a trip to the Museum of Science and Industy: which is Fun & Food for the whole family. I admire 'Tony's Italian Beef' mostly because of how much I despise the many institutionalized versions of homegrown Chicago restaurants that are spreding everywhere like a virus as delicious as their food might be: - like 'Portillo's', with 112 locations and more than a dozen foid items on their menu, - or 'Buona Beef" with 36 locations and a menu of around 70 offerings, - or even 'AL's' (my favorite) owning a mere 5 stores and having just 10 or so menu listings. But 'Tony's Italian Beef' is not one of these. For them, here is here. That's it. If you aren't near Marquette Park on the South Side of Chicago, you're not anywhere near 'Tony's Italian Beef', because there is only one location. One of the best things about 'Tony's Italian Beef' is also one of the worst. The menu at 'Tony's...' is so big, and so many things look and smell so good, that once you arrive, and it's a long drive from everywhere, you start to wonder: "Maybe I should try one of these other delicious-looking items." I counted more than 120 menu choices when the listed variations are counted separately. 120! 'Tony's...' is way more than an Italian beef place. It offers chicken sandwiches, steak sandwiches, tamales, a full breakfast with pancakes, eggs, and Tony's McMuffins, fried fish, hot dogs, Polish sausages, salads, gyros, burgers, fries, shakes--the list goes on and on. Tony's owns the street it's on, with big signs offering big specials. It looks like its customer base consists of people who want a bucket of food for their family for cheap. I just don't understand why 'Tony's...' has so many options. I thought that it was due to insecurity. But after I watched customer after come in, saying "Hi" to everybody in the staff, and even giving one old guy behind the counter a hug, I realized that it was because everyone there knew everyone else, meaning that this was truly a neighborhood place. Both times that I was at 'Tony's...' everyone I saw had an Italian Beef Sandwich & Fries. There was one hot dog lover, but the tomatoes were huge and unripe, so they could hardly eat it without everything falling out. But nobody had a gyro, a burger, or a tamale. The first time at Tony's, I ordered the Italian beef, dipped heavy, with sweet peppers on top and giardiniera on the side. As a bonus, because the menu is so big, I got a tamale. I love traditional Chicago-style tamales, which are nothing like real Mexican tamales. I also got fries and a drink. My girlfriend got the chicken cutlet sandwich and a Greek salad, which made me want to throw her out the window. On my second visit, I ordered the same thing, except I got fries again. They were okay, but I've watched several videos in which people rave about Tony's hand-cut fries. They look delicious, and you can hear the crunch when people bite into them. Maybe I just caught them on an off day. The Italian beef sandwich with sweet peppers was excellent, especially with some yummy au jus on the side to make things extra wet. The giardiniera was tasty and hot, though it needed another month or so to marinate and soften. And they offered mayonnaise on their Italian beef, which is just wrong. And finally, the drive to get there was simply too long. Would I come to Tony's again? Yes, if it was closer. But there's a Portillo's five minutes from my house, so unless I'm on a job that brings me closer to Marquette Park, I probably won't return.

This little hole in the wall has about 10 seats. The place was packed on a Tuesday night at 9:30…read more We had the Corleone and the big beef and sausage. And I'll tell you something. They melt in your mouth. These guys are fast and they don't mess around. You want great sandwich. You come here. The slogan is "when's the last time you had a great sandwich?" Today!!!

ONE LAST NUGGET…read more Always double-check your bag from Wendy's, in case there's a surprise nuggie at the bottom. It didn't take long after starting my new job to find the nearest distributor of chocolate Frosties. I hit up this location in Garfield Ridge for lunch every other week and the experiences have been generally pleasant, even though once they forgot a straw and on a separate visit they gave me no sauce :( You're greeted with a quartet of self-order kiosks when you walk in, but you can still place an order with a human being. I like the counter area they have by the windows facing Archer Ave. No ketchup pumps, which makes me think their condiments are behind the counter under lock & key. I recently tried the ghost pepper ranch chicken sandwich ($11 for a combo) and to their credit, it was pretty damn hot. Halfway through eating, I started seeing little horizontal lines which made me wonder if I was hallucinating or just needed new contacts. I made ample use of their Coke freestyle machine, regardless. Saucy nuggs are great, you can get them standalone or as part of a 10pc combo ($10)--I recommend the spicy honey bbq, garlic parm, and buffalo. The $5 Biggie Bag is still the best deal in town, a Jr bacon cheese with fries, 4pc nuggets and drink for a crazy low price. * TL;DR * This is a solid Wendy's with a clean dining room and quick drive-thru. I've tried to avoid going out to lunch more than once a week, and when I do, I usually only drop $5.54 (the exact cost of a Biggie Bag + tax). You can find some nice deals online, like a free 10pc nuggets when you sign up for Wendy's rewards, or $2 off a premium combo. Tip: trying to turn left onto Archer is tricky, and though you could get lucky with the flow of cars, you're much better off exiting onto Laramie and using the traffic signal.

Top tier service! went with wife at 6am. lobby was spotless. friendly staff, we received food in…read moreunder a minute! highly recommend this place. earned customers for life =)
