WWWWWW 5 star review. I would rate this a six if I could but I can't because yelp doesn't support this cause. This Philly cheesesteak brightened my soul, also knowing that my Philly cheesesteak would be out in less than ten minutes. Fries with feta cheese on them, GOATED. Also, watching tennis was really fun. read more

When I lived and worked in Palatine I used to get Chiggy's fairly often and liked the food. I no longer live near Chiggy's but stopped in for carry out lunch and really enjoyed the food. Two hot dogs to go with everything. Good tomatoes, pickles, sport peppers, etc for a classic Chicago 'drag it through the garden' dog. They have a special price for two dogs and that's exactly what I wanted! I'm kind of through paying big bucks for a basic lunch item like a hot dog! I will be back to Chiggy's when in the area and I need a classic Chicago hot dog! read more

Five stars for the Reuben and chicken gyros. They are always good. One star for the girl who takes your orders. I stood in front of her for 30 seconds while she stared out the window. Then she turned to me and raised her eyebrows without saying a word. I guess that was my que to order. Wow, sorry I'm bothering you. She makes the soup nazi look welcoming. That girl needs some customer service training. read more

The food here is never hot enough. They hack big pieces of gyro meat off the spit instead of slicing it thinner. So it's not hot enough. Ribs were kind of a meat jelly thing., not great. The salad with grilled chicken was quite good. read more

I got the boneless ribs and they were amazing I love the style of the restaurant it kind of was like a dinner service was top-notch and would totally recommend if you are looking for sandwiches, hotdogs, or gyros. read more

Went to pickup dinner tonight and was greeted by Matt who showed great customer service. Ordered an Italian Beef which was good but we also ordered the Ribeye steak sandwich which had more fat on it than beef. The food is general great but stay way from the Steak Sandwich! read more

Two things I learned from my first experience here . . . Number one was that they will only allow one "special" per order (even though we could have separated the two orders). We wanted a BOGO chicken sandwich "Special" and only the JR. Gyro that was posted on their window but was told we couldn't do that even though there was nothing indicating this jr. gyro was a "SPECIAL "and we didn't want to be nitpicky. And two . . . water was free, but you are going to be charged .20 for each cup. An absolute insult . . . we would have taken one cup and 4 straws to the table but once again didn't want to be nitpicky. I wish I knew this before doing the RIGHT THING by leaving a cash tip at the counter. The food was average at best. read more

I gave this establishment another try tonight while my husband was out of town, he's not a fan. This time instead dry bits of gyro meat it was moist but flavorless. I did carry out and spent $16 for a gyro with fries no drink. There's a new Greek establishment on Rand in Palatine that does it right. read more

order 4 items just 4 items they complete forget one when I call to see if they can send it over or refund me they say no and just come back to get it again for free. Never eating at this dump again food wasent even that good. horrible customer service to go along with it, their front desk worker took 2 minutes to process along with the fact I paid 60 bucks for 2 meals and 2 gyros read more

Chiggy's has been a staple in Palatine for longer than I can remember! Come visit Chiggy's for a perfect gyro and great chicken that is priced right and greeted by a friendly staff! Many memories of Chiggy's after a good baseball game or hockey when my kids were still in their Stroller! Prices are good and so is the food. Chiggy's is a place to go! read more

Since it has been 9 years since I wrote my first review - and I've been back about 50 times since then - just wanted to update. Actually everything I wrote below still holds. We swing by when we want something fast and simple for a quick dinner. The people that work there are very friendly and don't make mistakes. read more

Never disappoints, hot, fast and fresh food every time. Always go back here even with other places like it nearby. Plenty of seating and a solid Chicago sports theme. read more

Personal fan of chiggys and I haven't even eaten yet. I'm a person who only posts reviews if they are positive and for a cute local family owned restaurant I'm happy. Plus the atmosphere and inside of here is timeless I love the old diner look. read more

The old man at the front was flat out rude when I asked basic questions regarding prices and menu items. No sauce whatsoever on my sandwich. Good food but overpriced read more

For me, it's one of those places I've driven by a thousand times and not stopped in, so today I made a point of making it my destination, and I'm happy I did. With a very extensive menu that includes something for every taste in casual dining, and a spacious dine-in area decorated with local sports memorabilia, Chiggy's cranks out quality food, and fast. I went with the quarter-pound cheeseburger (they also offer half a pound), for $6.69, and added onion rings for another $3.99. The charburger had the requisite nice crust while maintaining juiciness and great beef flavor. Super melty cheese in adequate quantity. Oversized, bakery-style bun, soft to the bite, but substantial enough to hold any toppings you care to add. For me, almost always the same, just mustard, pickle, and raw onion. They were generous with all of them. Onion rings come with a mildly seasoned batter coasting, cooked to order, hot and fresh. I'll be back. Like I said above, they have a menu to please most any appetite. Burgers, dogs, gyros, chicken, ribs, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, fish, shrimp, family-sized chicken dinners, ice cream. Open 10-9 Monday thru Saturday. They deliver. They cater. read more

First time here last week while staying in Palatine. It was just ok. Order at the front counter and wait for your number to get called. We ate in. Lots of seating inside. Tables were clean. We split the gyro platter. Meat, small salad, 1 pita, 2 large onion slices, and 2 large slices of tomato. Salad was good. Not very big but ok to share especially since the amount of meat we got was HUGE. Definitely enough for 2. And then some. 1 pita was not enough and we could have asked for another one but we just ate the meat and veggies like steak and potatoes. This meal was ok but nothing special. I have had better gyros here in the Detroit area. It is a go to place in Palatine at least to try. read more

I do not recommend this restaurant at all ! The food is not good, the owner is extremely rude ! I am a previous restaurant owner and operator, and my customers came first in every aspect of my business! I don't know how this man is still open for business to be honest! Between the food and his personality alone I don't even give it a 1 star ! I hate to say this about anyone's place of business but I and many ppl I know feel the same way ! No Ambiance no good food, no personality/ rude personality to ppl who put money in his pocket ! To the owner of Chiggy's please take a lesson from this review! Not quality food, would never go back ! Thanks but no thanks !! Sincerely, Extremely Unhappy read more

For the friendliness of the staff alone, I'd totally come back again. It's crazy how the service can either make or break your first impression of a place. It definitely made it for me. Being there just to pick up my called-in order made me have a smile on my face as the workers here greeted me and talked to me in such a friendly way. They even said bye to me by name (it was my first time here) as I was walking out as they were taking orders from other people. And onto the food. I ordered a gyro sandwich and fried shrimp with fries. The gyros were good, exactly what I expected, with meat overflowing out of the pita. The fried shrimp did not include a tail on it (so it looked smaller than I expected), but it was crispy on the outside and the shrimp itself was crispy and tasted fresh. I loved their crunchy crinkle cut fries as well. I'll be back again to try more things! Thanks Chiggys! read more

This was our first time there and we arrived at lunch time. There's lots of indoor seating. You place your order at a counter as you enter, the staff were friendly and helpful. We got the gyro combo and the two Chicago dogs special. The gyro combo was a little bit more pricey than where I went to before, $17.00 and the 2 hotdogs were $7.00. With that being said the quality of gyro meat was very good. It was not dryer out , had very good flavor and they didn't skimp on the sauce, onions and tomatoes! I will come back for it again for sure. The hotdogs , just like the gyro was not skimpy on the toppings. They serve the good quality Vienna style dogs. The fries are the good crinkle kind. Nice soft buns and pita bread. Clean inside! I'll be back. read more

Food was great and fresh. Service was absolutely great. Ambiance on top of the moon. Great prices!!!

Came here this weekend to pick up our usual order - chicken gyro sandwiches. When we got there someone apparently had taken our order so had to wait for our order to be ready. That wasn't too bad. However noticed something else. The prices have gone up and quantity of the meat has gone down. Usually our chicken gyros has plenty of meat. This time it was half the quantity. I let it go thinking maybe it was just that evening. Then I heard from other family members who also got the same this weekend and saw the difference too. Fine we can accept that because of Covid the prices have gone up. Understand that restaurants are hurting but the quantity should remain the same if the price has gone up. Will have to see how it is when we go next time and if they will redeem the 5 stars I had given when I first wrote my review. read more

I made a beeline there once I heard they make their own Italian Beef in house. It wasn't bad, but it didn't taste homemade and there was nothing remarkable about it. It would be a close call between here and The Patio, but a better sandwich can be found elsewhere (Tre Amici and others). It had a wide menu and I would not hesitate to go back and try something else. read more

Friday night, went to workout already close to 7PM, decided we will order from Sam at Chiggy's. Called up and who do I get, Sam of course! Asked if we could order 4 Gyros Plates to Go of course ready in 15-20 minutes. Off we went, prior to getting there, My Bride decided if we can add more to our order? I went in and asked Sam if that would be an issue. Of Course not! As he put it, " if you want to spend more money at his place, who is he to say no!" Funny Guy! Nancy took care of the order and payment. enjoy seeing her there, always puts a smile on for everyone coming in as well as Sam. Thank you again for being there and making great food! We enjoy it. Smacznego, Mangia & Cheers! read more

Everything, what is pictured is what you get! The food is so food, what you see is what you get. If can satisfy any craving!

We had a memorial last weekend for my dad and asked Chiggy's to cater the event. Let me just say that the food was incredible! We had beef sandwiches, chicken and rice. Everyone raved about the food and kept asking where we catered from. In addition to having delicious food, the service you get at Chiggy's is always top notch. Sam (the owner) always makes sure that you have your food on time and ensures there are no issues with your order. You can tell he really cares about his customers. If you live in the Chicagoland area and are in need of catering an event there is no better place!! This wasn't the first time we've ordered Chiggy's catering and it certainly will not be the last. Great service. Great food. Great people. read more

Once upon a time this was an amazing go to Palatine family business. Food was hot, fresh, and staff was friendly. Now the food quality ingredients have gone down and they have severally started to count the pennies. Times are tougher and prices are increasing, but please don't forget that we will support you ... only if you can keep the quality and love for your customers ... we are not here to just turn tay read more

Had a great chicken gyros salad here today. Portion is generous and food was very good and fresh. My friend ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken and that was great as well. Order at the counter service and wait for your food before seating yourself ( no table service) . Plethora of booths and a few tables also available for seating in this small fast casual restaurant. Recommend! read more

The way this place is managed is absolutely garbage. I've eaten her multiple times and the food is ok most of the time, but the management team doesn't know what they're doing they're unpro and is poorly organized. read more

Their broasted chicken is DRY! Forget it! Their soup is always good. Submarine sandwiches are good too!

In my first visit since their limited reopening last summer, there have been some unfortunate changes. Prices have increased quite substantially - a Gyro Sandwich, small fries and a small drink will now set you back about $14 after the super high Palatine restaurant sales tax. The gyro is perfectly ok, but the sauce is bland, almost flavorless. Fries are unsalted generic frozen types. Drink choices are limited, with no form of iced tea available at all. Lots of other menu choices, of course, including a salad that goes for $11.50! read more

This food is good! This is one of my main places to go when I am in Palatine. Also, their prices are not ridiculously high. I wish there were more fast food places like this. read more

The food tastes good but how the f&#@ can you charge $4 for 7 onion rings and $4 for 7 mushrooms??? When I got home with my food and opened the bags I immediately went back out to my car thinking I spilled half of the food. Maybe these are organic onion rings??? Maybe these are magical mushrooms??? I called them to ask and was told that they weigh them out before cooking. Bull! I saw them just grab some, apparently 7, and throw them in the fryer. That was for the mushrooms, I wasn't paying attention for the onion rings. I've been here many times throughout the years, but never again. There are a lot of other options in the area. read more

Haven't been there in a long time. Used to love their chicken gyros. Went there today. The chicken quality is different and not in a good way. Spent $30 on two gyros one fry and one drink. Asked for ranch when I was leaving. Said it is .80 and I said seriously after paying so much for so little. So I paid it and the ranch isn't even real ranch that they made. It's worse than store bought hidden valley ranch. Never going there again. read more

Very delicious, loved the gyro dinner me and my family loved the crinkle cut friesand the gyro. Amazing job!

This place has such bad customer service! I placed an order over $30 through DoorDash and forgot to ask for extra sauce. I called the restaurant, explaining this and asked if they could add extra tzatziki to my order. They refused because they wouldn't be able to up-charge me $.80 since I ordered through DD. Wow!!!!! $.80!?!?!? So now I will NEVER again spend money here, because being able to charge me $.80 was more important to this establishment than providing outstanding customer service to ensure customer satisfaction. Any other restaurant would have said "No problem! Don't worry about it...we'll add it to your order :-)" There were TWO people at the restaurant discussing why I couldn't get my extra sauce. Not one of them thought to just be nice and give me a tiny cup of sauce! I hope the $.80 was worth losing a customer, money, and receiving a bad review. read more

Ya know, I would have normally said I like this place. But tonight we came in around 8:30 pm. About 1/2 hour before close. The owner was a big D*^K. Complained on how he wanted to go home. Didn't want us to eat in but take our food home. The 1/2 chicken was horrible and he missed the order of Greek Salad that I ordered. Probably the last time I come here. He even seemed to be intimidating his own staff. A young woman seemed frightened to death bu his sneers. Not good. read more

This place is such a fantastic find!!! From ordering to pick up to the actual food and service I am extremely happy! The girl at the front was super nice and helpful! Such a doll and the food is awesome they definitely don't skimp out on the ingredients!!!! Will definitely be back soon! read more
