    Decent little Mom and Pop restaurant. Heads up it's cash only which is a major inconvenience. Seating is good, not some place I'd take someone on a first date. I have nothing negative to say about the food, just wish the sandwich wasn't so dry. It's worth giving it a try if you're in the area.

    Laid back hole in the wall you shouldn't miss! Not a huge menu but great food at good price! Got big steak sandwich comes w fries and a soda for $14! Good flavor without sacrificing taste of beef. Steak pounded thin in fresh French roll. Fries hand cut hot and fresh. Definitely would come back next time I'm in the area.

    Today I really had a taste for some meat. I haven't been here for a couple years, but had a craving for a steak sandwich as wanted to finally leave a review. Mr D's is situated on a busy street, with no parking, so you're better off finding parking on a side street just be careful for resident parking only. Be aware that it's cash only, no cards, so you will have to hit up an atm prior. It's a tiny place with only four 4-person tables. I typically order for carry out and eat at home. This is a family run place with a very simple menu. You will see the same people working there every time. The wife is the one taking orders and she's a sweetheart. They have the process down to a Tee, and you will get your food quickly. It's nothing fancy but it's damn good, what they do, they do well. Everything is char grilled, by far my favorites are the steak sandwich and the cheeseburger or the double cheeseburger. The shish kabob sandwich is pretty good too, just be aware it's pork even though it tastes more like beef but again I have a hard time steering away from the steak sandwich. What is a steak sandwich? A thin cut of steak that's been marinated beautifully and char grilled. It comes topped with only tomatoes and onions and wrapped by French bread. It's also covered by thick cut fries. All sandwiches come with fries by default which is cool. The fries are a bit greasy, but in a good way. Mr.D is a great place to pick up food if you need a quick bite and have a taste for some char grilled meats. Give it a try, the pricing is also very reasonable, the steak sandwich is under $12 with taxes. Probably why they only take cash, to keep the prices down.

    This place makes some damn good sandwiches. It's a little hole in the wall type of place with a few tables inside, but most as I did, are doing takeout. It gets pretty busy inside but they take their sweet ass time making sure that the sandwiches are perfectly made. I ordered both their Shish Kabob and Steak Sandwich. Both were good in their own way but the Steak sandwich was my favorite. It was served with tomatoes and onions. The steak itself was thinly cut, very tender and perfectly seasoned. The shish kabob was also very tasty. This was also served with tomatoes. Both sandwiches were served with fires. The fries were freshly cut and also very delicious. This is a place I'll definitely be returning to. Their menu is simple and it all looks good. I'll probably try one of their burgers on my next visit.

    What an incredible find! This mom and pop joint has apparently been around for decades and I was lucky to finally find it in the near northwest side of Chicago. This no-frills place stands alone on a corner in a quasi-residential area and is quite small with only 4 tables of 4 available for dine-ins. You may be better off planning on getting your order to go during peak hours. The food here is absolutely amazing and delicious. I had the shish kabob sandwich which was fantastic. The meat is marinated in a special sauce and charred on the grill with onions and served in a fresh soft French roll with fresh slices of tomatoes. The meat kabob was chunky, flavorful and tender. All their sandwiches come with one of the better french fries that I've had. And the cost was only $10.00!!! Who says you can't have lunch for $10 or less? The most expensive item on their menu is their steak standwich for only $0.25 more which may be the next thing I will have on my next visit. I understand they also serve a great Italian beef at $8.25 and cheeseburger for only $7.60. Mr. D's certainly didn't disappoint for a quick and satisfying lunch. You will be treating yourself to try it when you are in the area.

    Straight and simple offerings.

    Best steak sandwich in Chicago period. Burgers are great too and the Shish Kabob sandwich with extra gravy is the bomb.

    We wanted to try since the new owners were getting terrible reviews, we have been avoiding the…read morerestaurant. I must admit the sandwiches were pretty decent, they had the right amount of meat and sides, they were flavorful, the bread was fresh, I was pleasantly surprised since I was expecting them to be mediocre. We will definitely be back.

    Some places don't want your business. Been coming to this…read morespot for over 10 years. Mostly for a sub but tried other things as time went on. My pops however loves their subs, he's elderly and I try to watch his sodium so it's not an everyday type thing. Still stop by at least twice a month and treat the old man and friends. Always happy to support and tell others about the really good local spots. Thats what makes the local spots the real gems of our communities we can literally walk to them. The high cost of produce and groceries keep rising and it might be more expensive to buy those ingredients and provide the same level of quality. But the cost of respect and appreciation towards your loyal customers hasn't, and it shouldn't! Throughout the years I felt the quality had been declining but my old man loved them so I kept coming back. Neighbors would ask why I keep getting the subs and would all say the same thing "used to be good". Service has never been amazing, but I don't think expect it to, I'm just here for a sub. It tells me more about the owners/managers than I need to know. When the employees talk out loud about personal issues with equipment being busted or things being held together with duct tape don't exactly scream out safety, quality, or freshness. Even then I can get past it. When I see a business like this whose quality has declined, whose employees are aloof and allowed to treat the preparation and sanitation of food in such an unprofessional manner......Well, that tells me more about how you feel toward me as a customer. Maybe you're bigger than my favorite little sub shop that I used to tell everyone about. Maybe you don't need my dollars, or maybe I didn't spend enough to be treated with respect, I should've spent more. Either way it's obvious, you don't need my money. I'll be happy to take it elsewhere.
