Traveling for business. As a small biz owner, always looking for locally owned! Did a deep dive into "finding local gems" and found this place. Reviews across social media are all over the place. Hubby chose the gyro platter with fries. *so much food*. He normally eats all his food, but he just couldn't. He just stopped and said "so much food" . Portion won! I chose the italian beef (not juicy/dipped) & had it on side instead. Cheese fries are ok, but not wow. The italian beef however, that is a different story. The flavor was throughout the beef & I liked how it did not have to rely on the juice to get the flavor. Speaking of the juice that had a perfect amount of spice. I have to say this is one of my top Italian beefs that I've ever had. read more

AV Anthony's - Italian beef(1/2 eaten oops) & cheese fries - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered 2 Gyros platters - one with fries, one with baked potato, also 2 Big Baby hamburgers. Requested RAW onions, repeated the request several times. Got them with grilled onions :-( Disappointed because this really does change the taste of the burgers. The gyros were good and portion was plentiful. Meat was tender and fresh, no burnt or "old" tasting bites. Sauce was a little bland, but very fresh and tasted homemade. Fries were not greasy. read more

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. read more

Ordered for delivery. Arrived on time and hot. Hubby said his burger was delicious. I had a total-dipped Italian beef with a bit of red sauce - it was everything I've been craving and more. Bread was fresh, au jus was slightly seasoned, red sauce was excellent and the beef was super tender. I definitely recommend. read more

Placed an order there on 10/11/25 . It was a custom order of a hamburger with just ketchup and raw onions, but received a hamburger with grilled onion, ketchup and pickles. I ordered a cheeseburger plain and got the same thing as the first one. Plus the hot dog bun was hard. Not going back for sure. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Services is always speedy always generous portions. Never have had a bad meal here great food great experience.

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. read more

AV Anthony's - Ordered Cheese Fries and this is what I received - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is a something for everyone place in a comfortable, family-oriented but messy environment. The 10' menu promotes burgers, dogs, gyros, sandwiches and BBQ ribs. The Greek salad was a disappointment--heavy on iceberg lettuce and sharp white onion slices. No Mediterranean or vinaigrette dressing was an option so I chose Ranch. Note; you could break a tooth discovering the black olives were unpitted. Tomato, bell pepper, and cucumber slices were other veggies. Basically, my Greek salad was a typical side or garden salad with feta cheese chunks. The gyro consisted of roasted chicken on a bed of more lettuce, white onions and tomatoes. No yogurt dressing--no dressing--of any sort was on the gyro. However, a small cup of sweet mustard was on the side. Since both chicken and salad were uninteresting I mixed them together. It didn't help much. I stopped here at the start of the supper period. There were very few people eating in. Still, already food scraps and debris were on the floor, seats, and tables. read more

Good but they always forget my fries. But no refund available they told me to come back and pick up the fries after I ate my dinner already.

Where's the Beef ?? We've been doing Anthony's for more than 20 years now . We love the burgers and recently we order the 5 burger special with a fries and last night on the way home we ordered a bunch of stuff and that 5 burger special and noticed that the patty's were smaller than usual and it wasn't jus one burger but all 5. The onion rings are no longer the same . This was a huge let down that we are going to have to change our usual burger place now . Common Anthony's read more

Nothing to see here. Overpriced, food favor less and taste old. Customer service nonexistent. Save your self and go down to Jacky's on Pulaski. They are way better and you can get a real baby double burger read more

How the mighty have fallen! I've been going here for about 20 years. This used to feel like a neighborhood place, now it feels like another corporation on the block. Recently Anthony's got bought out by a new owner. The prices have gone UP and the quality has gone way DOWN. The started buying lower quality meats and removing combos off the menu so you have to spend more $$$. Love the cooks and cashiers there, but the owners cut every corner to save money at the cost of authenticity and flavor. I started going to the Biggs just a couple blocks down. I highly recommend it. read more

Worst meatball sandwich ever! who puts cheddar cheese on a meatball? And where the sauce? This sandwich was good "In the garbage!" If you cant get make it at a fast food business, maybe you shouldn't be working at all! This place really has gone downhill in the last couple of years read more

Now you know, Chicago's South West Side is not known for Chicago Style Hot Dogs and such, But Anthony's puts me in the mind of a nice and old fashioned grease spot on the north side. But that is totally a compliment. The place is really clean, and pretty well taken care of. It was 12 AM at night and I wanted a Gyro, now you know, here you can get it your way. And they don't even have a Burger King Symbol. Gotta love a spot that sells burgers and beer. You wont be sorry, this place is pretty good, 1/2 block East of Cicero near Midway Airport. read more

I used to often but after today's experience I think I will never return. I ordered a cold sub and it was pre wrapped from previous days. My bread was rock hard, provolone or Swiss cheese seemed old, the mayonnaise was dried out. My rib eye sandwich had nothing but nerves. My expensive bag of onions rings was only half way filled. For three items I paid $43. read more

Me and a colleague of mine wanted to try a different restaurant, other than our regular restaurants in the area. We agreed to AV Anthony's after mutually agreeing on an item featured on their menu. Looking at the menu online, it reminded me of Portillo's Hot Dogs due to its similarities in items on the menu, which consisted of burgers, subs, tacos, salads, soups, pizza puffs, gyros, ribs, chicken, seafood, and hot dogs. And I was blown away to find that its restaurant sold beer which I did not catch while ordering online, but caught while picking up our order. I called to place our order and was immediately put on hold for 4-minutes until the call eventually dropped! I called back immediately and waited an additional 4-minutes then I eventually hung up. Since that did not work, I gave it another try but this time ordering online which failed at first because it did not take my credit card. I then switched to the option to pay once I arrived which was timely but eventually went through. With that whole experience I recommend ordering from the website instead of calling to place your order unless you want to be placed on hold for who knows how long. We ended up ordering 2 Fish sandwiches w/ fries after viewing pictures of it shared on Yelp. And we ordered with the preference of them being two separate fish orders w/ fries, but little did we know that we would receive 2 Fish sandwiches w/ only one order of fries. Prior to me leaving to pick up our order, another one of my colleagues added to the order which ended up being the BBQ Rib tips. The mind boggling part about picking up our order was the restaurant was empty and it did not look busy which does not make sense because of what I dealt with while trying to order. Very unsat! In closing, yes! I would order from AV Anthony's again, but I would be very cautious of what I order because of this experience. This whole situation could have been prevented if there were some sort of a verbal confirmation after we ordered online, but how do you contact a restaurant that continues to put you on hold? I went from being excited to order from here to being disappointed with the process it took, and outcome. Thomas G read more

Love most of their food. But "everything" on their hot dog is only mustard, relish, onion, and pickle. Tomato, sport peppers, CELERY SALT.... Is an extra charge. Wtf. That isn't everything. Kinda put me off for life. read more

Best Italian beef sandwich ever--blows Portillo's sandwich away. My buddy had the Italian beef and sausage sandwich and raved also. Can't go wrong with either of them. read more

I'm a pretty local loyal Customer of Anthony's Kitchen, by far one of my faves, Chicken Kabah with rice or french fries (baked potato) is by far my favorite one. Take one and eat 2 or up to 3 people, 2 big skirts of chicken, salad and a pita with creamy cream also delicious!! If you like salads they have all kinds, giros either chicken or lamb (like it 2) chicken grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, omg... If you're around Midway this is your place, they close late and people are always smiling and working as a excellent team. They also sell all Beers. read more

This place doesn't even deserve a star anymore. I've been going here for over 10 years, but in the recent year, I haven't been. I finally went today with my boyfriend and we were super excited! Only to be completely disappointed beyond belief. There are multiple red flags- the first one being that there was no line. In the years past, we have always had to wait in line. We thought it was strange that there were no people in line and no one seated eating, but didn't really think much of it. Anyway, we ordered the Big Baby meal and the hot dog meal with mozzarella sticks on the side. Second red flag- the prices literally doubled. I use to get my hot dog w fries for less than $4. Now its over $7 with a drink. Ridiculous, but we still were understanding due to the pandemic and basically everything increasing. The worst part came, our food, the main red flag. The Baby Burger is legit a joke. A JOKE. The alleged two pieces of meat was equivalent to half a patty. Their baby burger use to be HUGE and delicious... you're better off going to McDonald's at this point. The hot dog was pathetic. It didn't even have the hot peppers anymore. We got an excessive amount of fries to probably make up for the lack of burger and hot dog. The only thing that hasn't really changed are the mozzarella sticks. After receiving our food, I read the latest reviews and the owner is blaming the factory where they get their patty's saying it was a change for a couple a months.... That comment is from NINE MONTHS AGO!!!!!! I call BS!!!!!! STAY AWAY!!!! Anthony's is a utter disappointment. The restaurant should not have "Chicago's Best" Burger next to the Big Baby, I can assure you, it is NOT "Chicagos Best" anymore. Shame on you!!!! On a side note which didn't really bother me, but they're supposed to check vaccination cards and THEY DID NOT. read more

First time I ate here I think I got the chicken kabobs with rice:..SUPER YUMMY. Almost 2 years ago. Ever since then I've liked eating their burgers, hot dogs, and GYROS. I normally don't like gyros but from Anthony's there is something to it. Maybe the sauce because it's not too sour, it has a smooth cucumber taste to it. I had to buy an extra one for my fries lol. Food is good, service is great, employees are always nice and talkative ! read more
