Hate to do this....but WAY overpriced for pretty terrible food. Came in here the other day around 1:30-2:00ish and ordered the hot dog combo meal. Was told that they were frying fresh fries for my meal. The dog? Not all beef, undercooked, inappropriate topping ratios (I shouldn't have to scrape half a pound of onions off my dog), just...no. Fresh fries? Cooked in stale oil and COMPLETELY unseasoned. Terrible. $10 for this trash meal? Pass. Don't waste your money. read more

I am writing this review to express my absolute poor and racist experience at this establishment by their female cashier/waitress (female with blonde hair and heavy European accent) & the owner. My husband & I (both male) arrive and place our order. We proceed to pay.. almost $45 later (our total) and have a seat outside. It was a bit windy so we decided to go back inside. We have a seat in their inside dine in area as the restaurant is empty. An older couple walks in and places their order. They have a seat and a few minutes later they are served first from this cashier/waitress.. keep in mind we ordered several minutes before them. We figured ok they are an elderly couple so it's fine. Next comes in a teenager and his friend.. they place their order and as they are just standing there... I'm waved down by the waitress/cashier that my food was ready. Being that this is not the first we have ate here before.. and seeing many times where they bring you your food to the table it surprised me. Fine.. I pick up my food but feeling annoyed. We are eating our food and here comes by the waitress with the teenagers food going to serve them. So teenagers + elderly couple get served to their table but we had to pick up our food. Clearly it was because either we were Latino or a Gay Couple but at the end of the day this is not how you treat paying customers. And to top it off when we complained to the owner he defended her saying she was busy.. which is complete bullshit because she was not..but it goes to show the type of business this establishment is.. we have been going here for many years but never again. Horrible experience. read more

Very generous servings of everything involved on my juicy, well-seasoned, delicious chicken kebab plate. Lettuce and tomatoes were particularly fresh, and they used real, dark green (non-iceberg) lettuce. read more

I have to say I do like this place now. You have to warm up to the owner(?). The gyros are the best in the area. They may be a tad pricier. You get good quality meat and alot of it. Good Italian sausage also. read more

I was there today and had no issues as described in other reviews. My friend was with me and had a large order - 3 kids and her partner was with her. They delivered her order perfectly. I had a simple order as I was with one child. My chicken Caesar on a pita was perfect. Fries were hot and crispy - pink lemonade was pink and perfect! The owner did not look happy so I went out of my way to be happy and kind and -- imagine this -- he responded the same way. My friends kids inhaled their food. There wasn't one fry left behind. The place was tidy and ready for business. But we were there early when it opened. My only negative was the somewhat high cost but I get it- the quality was very good - fresh lettuce tomato pita and quality chicken - and it keeps out the riff raff that can get on a train and panhandle a few dollars. I'd go back to try other items. read more

I'm surprised this place is open at all ,will rob you out of your money , high prices and will cheat you out off your other items that come with order. read more

This is my to go place when there is a busy day at work and no time to cook dinner! Amazing pork kabob sandwiches! He does it right for many many years!!! read more

Great food!! Had the Plush Burger with fries and vanilla shake!! Delivered hot and fast. read more

The gyros was on point, but why on earth do the french fries come without any salt? French fries without salt are super sad and depressing. Who are the curmudgeonly humans that request fries without salt that in turn spawn restaurants serving fries without salt? read more

I love this place. It's my last minute weekend take out spot! Faves are gyros plate with fries, gyros sandwich on pita and chicken sandwich on pita w/fries. Also BLT & Greek salad!!! 10/10 for fast food & hands down beats McDonald's or the usual chain. read more

Plush pup has always been one of my favorite restaurants to go to. It is more on the pricey side however once in a while it's so worth it! Some of my favorite things to get from here are the chicken kabob plate, chicken on pita Greek style, and Greek salad. The chicken kabob plate is very filling and could probably be split with two people as it comes with rice and two kabob sticks! The chicken on pita Greek style has been my new favorite meal. It is beyond delicious! Come here you won't regret it read more

I've only had food from Plush Pup once when I Ubered it. The servings are huge and the food was really good. I got cheesy fries and they were a bit soggy but it's expected since they have cheese. Definitely recommend this for last minute take-out read more

Almost $10 for a Polish and small fries? $9.38 to be exact. Not even a drink was Included. The food was fine, nothing out of this world. With those prices, for fast food, I hope they're paying their workers @ least $20/hr. read more

Plush Pup - Not worth the price. - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Big selection of food but over priced and mediocre tasting at best. Friendly workers though.

Very good good every time I go! It is a little pricy but they give you large portions! Definitely worth a try!

This is an average diner. It's a hit or miss with the orders that we've had here. I would really love to give it 4 stars because the workers are really nice and friendly but because of inconsistency it will be less one. The spouse loves the pork kebab plate here, yes even they're inconsistent with the flavor, if they get it right the kebab is really good. But sometimes the meat is just dry (over cooked) and lacks flavor, while the rice pilaf is doused with so much oil and vinegar; I'm not sure if it's from the small salad that is included in it. We've tried their gyro, bacon cheese burger and cheese burger. Nothing wowed us but their portions are big. I say the gyro pretty is good. The burger patties need flavor and again they were a little over cooked, they were dry inside. The one thing they don't mess up here is their coleslaw, it's better than Popeye's or KFC. read more

Giving this place a one is generous. Ordered philly cheese steak. As soon as I saw the cook pull out steak ums I knew I was doomed. I couldn't even eat it. The restaurant is filthy. Needs good deep cleaning. I suggest you pass this place by. read more

First of all everyone faces that work there are in the grown I ordered Greek chicken on pita WELL It was pink so when I got it I said I'm sorry I said well he said you should've told when you ordered it Duh!! Everyone heard except him No I didn't want another one so I ate the pita bread only Not to mention it cost me $60 to eat at a hotdog place No wonder it's empty no one smiles or says hi, we were gonna leave but had a far ride back home Horrible service and food WAY OVER PRICED Sorry but I don't care the cost cause I'd pay $100 for a smile and chicken that's not RAW PINK chicken Oh and the washroom toilet bowl is all poop stains Soo gross read more

Way too expensive for the food that u get. Fries are never salted and are very dry and plain. Not very friendly either. They just increased the prices of the meals by like $2-$3. I understand there is inflation going on but this place is way too overpriced for the food they serve. read more

Compared to other same style restaurants this place is insanely high-priced. Plus the lady bringing up the items that barely speaks English is making mistakes and charging more. Years ago this place used to be great, it used to be crowded, last time I went in barely anybody in there. They ripped me off on an item, charged more than it should have been and the lady argued with me about it. I will never go back to this dump again. read more

Shocked at how fresh and tasty their food is! This is not your typical broiler crap. You can taste that it's prepared fresh and with love. Got the fajita plate and was expecting basic meh, but it was juicy and crunchy and spicy . I've never been disappointed ordering food from plush pup. Will order again and again. Eat local! read more

I've been coming to this place for about 10 years now and have never had an issue with the food or service. I always get the chicken kabob plate or gyros. I saw someone complain about the Greek dressing they put on the kabobs.. (olive oil, lemon juice, spices etc..) it is hands down the best thing to marinate your chicken with if you like Greek chicken. I love it so much I actually get extra on the side. I guess it's just personal preference. I also see lots of negative review about the prices here.. I'd like to share with you negative Nancy's, that there is a McDonald's down the street on Cumberland and Lawrence where you can find yourself $1 hamburgers. Anyway. We like this place. And love the manager there too, he's awesome. read more

Save your time with this one. Everything on the menu is so overpriced, rather spend my money on the Chine Kitchen next door to be honest. Food is alright but they have to cut down the prices read more

Born and raised Chicago native over here--love this place. I live less than a mile away and eat here often. It's my go-to for a diner with Greek food. The owner is always super friendly and they are quick, efficient, and fresh. My favorites are the chicken kebob plate with Greek potatoes, gyros salad, cheeseburger, and cheese fries. Oh, and their shakes! I've never had a bad experience and I really like the quality of food. Love having this place in the neighborhood! read more

This is my favorite place for Gyros. They are always fresh and hot, the fries are delicious. The plate is loaded with meat, fries, onions. The tzatziki is the best. The hot dogs are great too. So is the Greek salad. Fast service, good prices. A great place to go. Right now take out only. read more

I wish there was a zero stars i could choose as a rating... I came in this restaurant and ordered a gyro sandwich plain with sauce on the side. 3 Cooks everybody listening to me but they happen to be Spanish must not understood me they put tomatoes and onions on my sandwich I return the sandwich told them that it was supposed to be playing their way of correcting it was to throw the meat back on the grill picking out the tomato and onion changing my pita bread and re serving me the same meat that I just sent back... when I noticed this and confronted them at first they denied it then they acknowledge that that's what they did and attempted to give me a refund I was so upset and aggravated I had to walk out of the restaurant without collecting my money this place definitely needs an overhaul definitely is overpriced excessively for the quality of food and should have the health inspector in there read more

This is Quintessential Chicago: A divey diner that serves just about anything you can think of. Gyros, Pasta, Salads, Polish sausages, Italian Beef, everything I've come to love since I moved to this city. If you stop in here for lunch while at work, DON'T FINISH ANY MEAL. You'll be passed out and snoring at your desk within an hour. But, if that's not a factor. GO for the Chicken Kabob Dinner with comes with pita bread, some really tasty lemon-y rice, and salad. Can't beat the price for the amount of food you get. read more

Generous portions and fast service. I passed this place hundred times thinking it was a hot dog stand. Last week I found them through the app and made an order. I received a standard size hot dog and a lot of french fries. It was totally enough for me. It was tasty and well packed. read more

I've 'Been coming here since they opened and go there almost after every workout, and even before that when they used to be in Park Ridge. And no, it's NOT Portillo's, and I'm glad it's not because Plush Pups Greek Salad with a Chicken Breast on top is AWESOME and far better than the chicken cesare from Portillos! Plus, they have their own Home made dressing for the Greek Salad and they serve the BEST FETA you can buy as well as real greek olives! FAR BETTER THAN ANY SALAD FROM PORTILLOS - now that I made that point again for the 2nd time........They also serve many baked chicken dishes or Chicken Kabobs with rice, Pitas and vegetable sides - a much better tasting selection and healthier than Portillo's. As far as their hot dogs, Gyro's, and Beef - I don't eat that stuff anymore, but when I did, they were ALL excellent!! Good job Plush Pup!!! Don't be worried by the moronic negative comments made by those who only think Portillos is king - remember, these are the same people who like the Olive Garden and Pizza Hut................................. read more

The Plush Pup has the worst effing prices in America......way too expensive for anyone's taste. I just paid $6.31 for 1 hotdog fries and drink....Almost everything on their "value" menu is $$8.50...what a joke!!! They have a neighborhood monopoly and they exploit it...I wish someone with more reasonable prices would come along and put these sorry bastards out of business. read more

I have found a lot of menu items at Plush Pup to be either hit or miss. It's nothing fancy, nothing special, and nothing great. In a pinch, or for a quick bite, it definitely serves its purpose. ((Matt M. said it best below "It's like Portillo's, only lower quality.")) That's exactly it. Plush Pup serves similar menu items...they just aren't as good. The prices are similar to that of Portillo's. So yes, be prepared to spend almost ten bucks on a loaded dog, fries, and a drink. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly... + Huge variety of menu options + Love the 1/2 chicken plates - Greek, BBQ or plain + Fast and friendly service + Tamales!! + Cute retro decor. - Avoid the noon rush. Or be prepared to wait in line...most likely out the door. - Pass on the zucchini sticks - the breading falls off. Every. Single. Time. ((annoying)) - The salads blow. It's literally a plate of lettuce with a few odds and ends on top If there were a Portillo's around the corner, you bet your ass I would be going there instead. But when the grease craving hits, Plush Pup is around the corner from the office and definitely fills the greasy, fatty food void. read more

Paid $8.26 for a hot dog and fry special. What do you expect? Nothing, expect nothing. It's nothing short of a regular dog with regular greasy fries and a small cup full of ice with a little coke. read more

I find it hard to believe that I have worked literally down the block from this place for nearly two years and I have never been here for lunch. For what it is, short order, you should really expect a good, tasty well-prepared meal. Everyone one here is on the pleasant side and they get you your food quick. It was everything I expected and my belly was thoroughly satisfied when I was done eating. read more

Before I gave this place a chance, it appeared to be like most fast food joints, with lots of fried food options...I was wrong! My favorite is the Chicken Kabob plate! They serve two chicken skewers with a pita and rice pilaf. When in the mood for something lighter, I get their Greek Salad with grilled chicken...it's super fresh and their Greek vinaigrette/marinate is fantastic! Their BBQ chicken is awesome too... They're super fast and very friendly!...even when I've called two minutes before closing (unaware of their closing time, of course!) to place a carry-out order. They already know me by name...what can I say? It's like my second kitchen... read more

I grew up next to this Plush Pup 25 years ago when it was a tiny dive with fantastic Chicago-style hot dogs (who ever thought of putting celery salt on a hot dog?!), and it is still cranking out some TASTY diner food - try the chicken wings, they're crispy, plump, and juicy and I could eat then by the bucket. Disregard the staff who tend to stare at you when you order, and even after you sit down, any establishment that's been around for 20+ years knows how to make some tasty food. read more

Food was ok although the cashier failed to give me a receipt, not to mention screwed up my to-go order- as the guy who took my order barely speaks English. After calling, I discovered the new rule is: "you must ask for a receipt" It's my fault for not checking the bags before I left such an establishment as Plush Pup. 4 stars for food quality, 1 star for service and competence. read more

Good food, quick service, convenient location.

MUST TRY: Greek chicken kabob plate Restaurant is a bit pricey, but so is everything else in Chicago! Who cares. The staff is so friendly, and it's been the same workers for years. Very comforting. read more

Plush Pup is a little pricey for simple, traditional american food, but everything I had was good. Chicken Philly was huge and a mouth full. It came with a small order of fries. Also tried the fish sandwich. It was very neatly put together and overall good. This place a convient stop to grab a bite before going on a flight at O'hare airport. Its a quick exit there and a fast jump back on to the highway. read more
