The internet said that I had to try the Italian Beef, so I headed straight here while I was in the neighborhood. They were friendly, and the prices were unbelievably cheap. My sandwich was in my hands before I even got the order out of my mouth, too. Fast, friendly, and cheap? The food must be terrible, then. Nope! Finely chopped beef, soft French bread, it can't get much better. I got the hot giardiniera, which was just right. I saved half of the sandwich for my better half to share in my joy when I got home. She took a bite, rolled her eyes in delight, and said "YUM!" After a few seconds, she was running around the house screaming that her mouth was on fire and calling me names. Apparently the hot giardiniera was a bit too much for her midwestern taste buds. Sorry. Anyway, I can't wait to get back and try some more of their menu. Thumbs up. read more

Poor Boy 2 - Italian Beef - Fast Food Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Room for significant improvement. While the dipped beef was solid, and the service prompt and courteous, the hot dog was so poor that it brings the whole meal down. No poppy seed bun? Flimsy dog with no 'snap'? The hot dog is a Chicagoland staple. Do better. read more

Was on the hunt for a beef in Glen Ellyn/Wheaton area and found some recommendations for these guys. The beef was delicious and has a hint of heat on its own. I went with the hot giardiniera and it was a good size for me. The special combo price put the beef at around $8.50. Some complained it was short on beef. The cheese sauce for the fries tastes made in house. Extremely friendly staff. The interior is small but very clean. Small bath in back is a tight maneuver if handicapped. Lots of daily specials to choose from too. read more

Great food and service. Super fast and super good! The gyros and shrimp are my favorites.

This place had so much variety that even the kids were happy! Our foster time here didn't disappoint.

Poor Boy 2 has the best roast beef around. I've had Johnny's, Portillo's and buona just to name a few. The buns prepared just right. Not too soggy and the beef melts in your mouth. A beef sandwich from anywhere else is just a beef. read more

I just recently bookmarked the place like 2mths ago, so I decided to check them out. It's a typical hotdogs, polish, burger fast food joint. The lady that took my order was super friendly. I had a ribeye steak sandwich was fresh and hot. It lacked seasoning a little, hence the 3 stars. The place was packed, so I guess somebody likes it! read more

Poor Boy 2 - Ribeye steak sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Delicious! We were just looking for a quick bite after an activity in the area and this fit the bill. Speaking of which, the bill was very reasonable. We tried the Poor Boy sub, the Captain, fries, hot dog for my son. The hot food came out piping hot and the freshly made subs were great. Rolls were crispy but soft. Good quality meats. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. Would definitely go back. read more

We ordered the steak sandwich meal, the gyro meal, and a vanilla shake. They nailed everything the way they were supposed to. The steak was flavorful and soft. The gyro was a generous size. (It was a Kronos gyro. Nothing fancy. Just good.) And the fries were hand cut steak fries - hot and salted right. The vanilla milkshake was perfect -- Like the old school hot dog shops in the city. We'll be back. read more

I just adore this gem! My husband and I moved the suburbs after living in Chicago over 10 years. If you've lived in the city - you know the local fast food joints that have gyros, pizza puffs, subs, etc are alllll over. Poor Boys 2 really brings us that Chicago comfort food that we thought we wouldn't have anymore! The employees are so incredibly friendly. The place is pretty small, but very clean and casual. Not sure if the one gentlemen who helps us each time is the owner or not, but pointing out he pays attention to the small things. Example - every time he hands you the bag to go, he hands it with the opening there to slip right over your hand. While minor to some, these little details are so appreciated and noticed! The food is amazing! I'm more of a plain Jane who sticks to ordering the same thing each time and they make a fantastic turkey sub! I always add pickles to it. Their ingredients are fresh, bread is soft and the sub just hits your taste buds. My husband always alternates! He's gotten burgers, gyros, pizza puffs, etc. everything is delicious! Their cheese fries also deserve a shoutout. A lot of places use cheese that just tastes artificial. Their cheese sauce doesn't. This is been our go to since moving to Winfield. We love it! read more

I went there and ordered a double cheese burger and got a single burger. They said we make it right next time. I then got an undercooked burger after asking for well done and got sick. Went to the store to tell them and he laughed and said we can do better. No apology nothing. I don't think this is a place for you to get food. Be careful they don't believe in customer service! read more

Great staff super friendly and accommodating. Food is always good no complaints. They make a good chicken parm sandwich, wife loves their pork chop sandwich. read more

Great place to stop for fast bite and with a variety of options and yes all of the basic Chicago greats like Hot-dogs,Gyros and love the sub-sandwiches plus a great variety of healthy salads and other options.But above all the owners always greet you with a smile and thank you for stopping in..You can't ask for better than that!! read more

I pass this spot everyday so I stopped by and gave it a chance. Inside it was outdated and the floors are cracked and dirty and the tables where all dirty. There was no dining in all to go orders. I tried the ribeye steak sandwich and the smell when I unrolled it from the paper was a burnt char smell. The ribeye is cooked well done and it a thicker cut with grilled onions and chopped salad and mayo. It was lacking flavor so I add salt and some hot sauce. Overall it was okay not the best but not the worst. The hot dog nothing special don't recommend hotdogs here I will be back to try the cold subs and maybe change my rating. There's a lot of people that come in and pick up and the guy working the register is super cool and a lot of there customers are know from coming in a lot. read more

Nice restaurant with a variety of options on the menu and friendly staff. It's a little on the smaller side but just enough room if it's not overly crowded. I had the turkey sub and it was delicious and everything tasted fresh from the bread to the toppings on the sub. My Wife ordered the cheeseburger and fries and was pleased with it. We will definitely be back there soon and I recommend to anyone in the area to give them a try. read more

Great sandwiches at a good price and the portions are also a good size. I wish there was a location in Roselle

The staff is always so, so friendly & helpful. This is our go-to for subs for lunches or parties. The quality is always top notch. We've tried the fries (amazing) & pizza puff (who doesn't love a greasy snack like this!), even their different drinks are delicious. Worth having in your Rolodex! read more

Great place - BUT - starting to "jack" prices (even on the monthly 'specials') now, and scrimp on other items. Long-time customers have to be noticing this. - We used to go out of our way to get their chicken salads, which just a few months ago had LARGE STRIPS OF CHICKEN on top. Now, the salads are $1 more, and the large chicken strips are gone - replaced by little bitty chicken pieces (probably from a can). Very noticeable, and wrong. We had been getting this for 3-4 years, and easily noticed the sudden change. - No more Lent fish specials. The previous few years, various fish-related items (fish sandwich, shrimp dinner package) were discounted during Lent. IE. The Shrimp dinner package the previous few years was $12.25, discounted to 9.99 during Lent. Not this year. Again, and the prices on these items are now more (Shrimp dinner package is now $13.25). As mentioned generally, we've noticed varying degrees of change here in just the past 6-12 months. Jacked prices, jacked prices on the monthly "specials" (to the point where they aren't even really "specials" anymore), and scrimping on other items - especially the salads. We have loved going here and supporting them, but will be going less now. read more

Love this place!!! They are the sweetest. Talk about great customer service. It gives old school beef/hot dog joint. Food is AMAZING! Their cheeseburger is deliciously charred and they have mozzarella sticks that feel like they just popped from the oven as opposed to other places where they taste like frozen ones. These are authentic. Highly recommend!!! You won't be disappointed read more

Polite, fast service very clean. Best Bread!! Just enough garlic quality ingredients on the sub. The soup is on point, perfectly seasoned. read more

Fire ass food, nice ass customer service very mom and pop feeling with reasonable prices for this economy. Recommend a sub or gyro for sure.

I came here searching for a pizza puff...but found a large menu filled without one. How do they not have pizza puffs here?!? Even though they didn't have my pizza puff, they offered enough variety that one is bound to hit the spot. Hot dogs, gyros, hamburgers, tamales...oh my! Their meal deals are nicely priced. I had an Italian dog, fries and a drink for $6 and some change. The fries were fresh and perfectly salted *applause* The place was clean and the service was fast. read more
