I heard so many good things about their Italian beef. I finally made it in and can confirm it is fantastic. Everything about it hit on all cylinders. Very flavorful with a good chew and the perfect heat with their giardiniera. It's one of those sandwiches that once you pick it up, you can't put it down. Reasonable priced combo meals, will force me to try more of their menu. Friendly staff that keeps the line moving and short wait time for the deliciousness. People are slobs and they didn't get a chance to tidy up while I was there. read more

So I have to admit this was my first Chicago style hot dog... And I don't know why the rest of us have been doing it so boring. Putting a whole salad on a hot dog takes what could have been a guilty fast food meal and makes it feel fresh and dare I say, healthy? The peppers were such a great kick and the I also appreciated that the relish was NOT sweet! Both a pickle spear and dill relish on the same dog? Yes ma'am! My friend who grew up here had the protip of getting a cup of cheese for the fries, why not? I just ate so many veggies! We also got an Italian beef with sweet peppers to split. I have had Italian beef before, so this wasn't a new flavor, but it's been awhile, and when I tell you I didn't remember the beef being so flavorful. I think next time I would get it with hot peppers, but the sweets weren't bad. Get a lemon ice if it's warm out, it was smooth and tart and a great finish to a great meal to round out my Chicago trip! read more

Good service. Great food. Forty years of patronizing and have tried many of the specials Always great food.

Excellent Gyro and fries, and the squeeze bottle of bbq was quite convenient . I will definitely be back if i'm ever back in the neighborhood read more

Iconic, classic Chicago hot dog stand. All drive through, dogs made the way they're supposed to be and excellent French fries. I've moved out of state, so I pay whatever it costs to get great Chicago food staples. However, Pete's was really reasonable. Seating is a couple of picnic benches out front and they could use an update - but that was all part of the charm. Plenty of parking, fast, value priced and excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Just pulled up for a quick fish sandwich and it went so crazy I doubled back an hour later. Fries always go crazy too. My wife had a beef with everything and said it was crazy also. I like how they've pretty much kept the inside looking how it's been looking since I can remember. read more

Have to give this 4 out of 5. There beef is one of the best I ever had. The only reason they don't get a 5 star is the Italian sausage lacks some flavor and needs to be grilled more. Thebplace is small but has some benches for indoor or outdoor eating. The service is really fast and you are in and out very quickly. At the time of writing this. A combo with Giardiniera is $10 25 out the door with no fries or drink. read more

Finally made the stop here for an Italian beef. This place has been on my beef list for quite some time and I was somewhat in the area so I stopped. I ordered a beef hot to go. That's it. The beef made about a 30 minute drive home with me. Upon unwrapping the sandwich I could see it still looked wonderful. Now taste time..........Wow! It was excellent. The beef,giard,bread.Wow again. Seasoning was spot on. I now see why so many love it. This beef is hovering at my top 5. That good. My review is only for the beef, I don't know about their other items but I'd bet they're good too. read more

This Pete's location is consistent, quick service and affordable food prices. I had the grilled cheese pita which was stuffed with 3-4 slices of cheese - very good. It's a grab & go place mostly. They have a few tables for dining in, but they fill up quickly. The turn around time on the orders is fast. Menus & pictures of food decorate the walls. read more

With a welcoming mom and pop vibe this place just reeks of 90's classic restaurant. The service was above expectations and the turn around time was mine blowing. So to me the star of the show at this place for me is the Italian beef. Their Italian beef is top tier. I'd have to say they are definitely in my top 3 of beef's in Chicago. The quality of meat, combination of seasoning and au jus. Must have... Ohhhh I can't for get their Italian ice. It's honestly like none other, what sets them apart from other Italian ice places is that it seems to be whipped. ‍ Definitely go with the half and half. Half lemon and half watermelon. Great for summertime Chi. read more

They have one of the best chicken salads around! I was bummed when my former spot in Greek Town closed that I would get them from but now I'm back happy! This place has been around forever but I've never tried their chicken salad until recently and I'm hooked. The salad is a very nice size and two people can easily share. You get plenty of grilled chicken and fresh vegetables. Come with a piece of Italian bread and butter. Definitely my go to spot for a chicken salad. read more

Pete's Red Hot's - Chicken Salad - Hot Dogs Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Ordered a combo juicy with sweet peppers. This order came with fries and a drink. The combo was full of beef and the Italian sausage had a great flavor. Juicy as I expected add that pepper in a bite and it was layered in flavor. Fries were hot and delicious. Service for my order was fast but I imagine depending on what you order being they cook fresh some items will be a minuet or two. Also I noticed police frequently eat there so it has to be good. As to parking I am a tad fussy as to spacing of parking space so I was not to thrilled about parking but that's me. Overall parking was available and the lot moved in out fast due to the speed of service. There are tables in the restaurant so you can sit in to eat. I enjoyed my experience and recommend Pete's in Oak Park. There is a second Pete's but have not stopped there. Which is funny I pass that Pete's 2 all the time when I am in the area. read more

Definitely a top 3 beef in the entire Chicago-area and debatably the actual best. Absolutely outstanding beef sandwich.

Food is always consistent, very good. We highly recommend the combo sandwich with sweet peppers. Gyros are packed with delicious gyros meat, always freshly sliced to order. Fries are fresh and done to a delightful gold read more

So disappointed, paid over 18.00 dollars for my order for the Greek chicken for takeout and got home the chicken hadn't been seasoned at all, instead of potatoes I got fries. They shouldn't sale the Greek chicken at all if it isn't marinated. I won't be going there anymore. Stop playing with peoples money PETES read more

I love trying different hot dog establishments to find the perfect Chicago hot dog. This one is in my top 5 so far.

Purchased Gyros with everything and extra tomatoes and onions and chicken pita with extra onions and tomatoes. Both sandwiches were okay. Also ordered french fries and onions rings which weren't fresh and tasted awful. They had a dirty oil taste. Never again. This was $30 wasted. read more

Was there today. Hadn't been there in awhile. Disappointing. Gyros sandwich had much less meat than usual and pita bread mushy and obviously spent 0 time on the grill as no "crisp"to it or a some brown marks as if they didn't warm it up so tasted almost raw if that makes any sense. And whole sandwich seemed much smaller. Mushrooms which are normally very good were with very little breading and the coating that was there was burnt. Not sure I'd visit there again at least for a gyros. read more

Very good. Nice fresh food since it's always busy. Gyros, burgers and hotdogs are good. But burgers are a bit small, bread is big. read more

Every time I go the people in back are friendly and the food is always good, I'm always inn that area so I stop a lot.5 stars tops

First time here. Had the Super Taco. The taco would have been better if they used actual taco seasoning or salsa rather than kill it with franks red hot all of the lettuce which made it a horrible mess to eat. Maybe their other stuff is better. read more

Solid good food. When you think of a traditional Chicago restaurant where in the menu there is something for everyone, this is it. Personally I get a burger of beef. The service is quick but make sure you know what you want. They are impatient. Personally they are behind mickeys in my book but better than lucky dog. read more

I ordered a Grecian salad with extra chicken honestly the chicken had some kind of sweet glaze and it over powers the dressing I had 3 squares of feta(not enough) and it was $20 I wouldn't come for a salad I'd go for a hot dog or pizza puff which is 10-11$ or go to Costco for 1.99$ either way I won't comeback read more

I drive by Pete's all the time and always wondering if they were good. Today I was looking for somewhere new for a gyro... my usual places have been lacking in quality. nobody has all three: good cucumber sauce, good meat, and good service. Today I found all of the above. The sauce was soooo good, I just wish there was more of it. I'll definitely ask for extra next time. Only complaints are that the pita bread was super thin and didn't taste fresh. It was crunchy in spots. And that they don't put any salt on the fries. Make sure to ask for some if you like it :) They did have me in and out though. There were two orders ahead of me and the service was super quick. Great quick lunch spot! read more

I've had all of the supposed best beefs in the Chicagoland area. Pete's is the best by far. Many of the other offerings like the Greek chicken are great as well. I've never been disappointed with anything there. Service is quick and you can take it to go or eat in or out. read more

Best Beef hands down. Don't believe the hype and cheat yourself to Als Portillos, or Buona this is where it's at. The most solid beef I will put Pete's up against anyone. read more

Ordered gyro meal, cheeseburger meal , and hot dog special for the family. The gyro was at best 1/5. The tzatziki sauce tasted like watered down sour cream. The burger was made incorrectly and after returning it was still undesirable. The hotdog was fine. The fries were overcooked. I will not be back. However, try them for your self it is many people that recommend this place. read more
