    Got beef!
    Tim H.

    Not sure why I never knew of this place. Lived in Glenview for over a decade in late '80's-90's. Been here since '67. First visit I had the delicious Italian beef, dipped hot. Very meaty sandwich either 6" or 9". Make it a bomber with Swiss, pickles, onion and special sauce my next visit. New location at 1880 Glenview Rd is currently under construction likely opening 2026.

    I had some time to kill while waiting for a train so I figured it was a good chance to try something new. Looking at nearby spots I saw Spiro's and it sounded perfect. It's a small, no frills kind of place, which is just fine. I get the neighborhood secret vibe here, everyone who came in before or after me knew the workers personally. The friendliness is a big plus. I had the 7 inch original poor boy. Overall a really tasty sandwich! Classic deli style meats and veggies. The bread could have been a bit softer which is my only complaint. It wasn't too tough but it did take some effort to get a good bite. I'm around this area often so ill be back for sure. The Bomber is their specialty apparently, I'll have to try that next time.

    I can't believe I ate the entire thing. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak combo expecting thin sliced steak that would come from a box. The man behind the counter (Rudy) just kept saying, yeah, no problem to my choices of cheeses. This is definitely where the locals go. This place had a steady stream of customers ordering everything from Gyros to Po'boys. Everyone who entered knew the man behind the counter and he greeted all of them by name. The ambiance is very deli. No special anything really. The place just says order your stuff and we will feed you. The food though... I truly am pleased I made this stop. The Philly cheesesteak had actual chunks of steak. The provolone cheese and the added cheese sauce made this closer to a true Philly than I have been since being in Philly. This thing was a monster sandwich and when i first looked at it i thought that i may need a football team to polish this off. The fries were fresh cut and salted properly right out of the oil. I will return.

    Bomber and gyro  Bomber is the bomb!!!!!

    The food and service were phenomenal. First time there and I will be back! Got the bomber and the gyro. Liked the bomber more but gyro was great as well. Fries were awesome and homemade not from a package. Amount of meat in each sandwich was great too. It was packed full of meat and flavor! Owner made us feel welcome and gave us a small sample which was a nice surprise. What a in Glenview :)

    This is what I will call a hidden gem in Glenview. I have lived not too far from Spiro's for over 10 years now and have always wanted to stop by. The first time I picked up from here, I ordered GYROS SANDWICH and a ROAST BEEF SANDWICH. My kids ate them in the car while we were on a road trip. Once they opened the sandwiches, the smell of the gyro meat and roast beef were drool worthy. Not only did they smelled good, they tasted even better too! There were so much meat in both sandwiches. The next time I stopped by, I got a Gyro sandwich (again) and a PHILLY CHEESESTEAK sandwich for my son. They were amazing. (Of course I get to have a taste of everything I get for them ;). The sandwiches were made to order. Both times I've gone, I probably waited about 10 minutes for two sandwiches. Everyone was friendly, accommodating, and very efficient. They had a few tables inside, everything was clean, and they also had a few tented tables outside. I will go back for sure. 100%.

    I'm glad I finally got a chance to try it. There's parking on both sides of the building, which I…read morethink has been the issue when I've visited in the past--not seeing parking in the place I thought was for them. The deli is the main attraction, and we got a couple sandwiches. I got a reuben, their leanest cut, and it was really good. There was so much meat--too much for me, but it is super filling. They also have a bakery, though I didn't pick anything up from there. There's lots of soups, too, which I'll probably pick up if I visit again. There are some specialty foods, and they have some tables both in and outside if you'd like to stay a while.

    Stopped in for a quick bite…read more I really think you should examine the menu before going there are a lot of choices. Once I got the hang of ordering. Place the order at one end of the counter and you pick it all the way on the end. They take the sandwich in back to finish it. I ordered a corned beef on an onion roll. While I waited they have a nice selection of baked goods. Cookies, bread and desserts!! The decor is eclectic with nice nods to delis. I received my sandwich and ate outside, because the indoor dining area was full. My sandwich was really good, I would like a little extra mustard next time. The meat was tender and flavorful. The pickles they give you are top notch.

    Fantastic place. One of the best restaurants in the area and Glenview is very lucky to have it…read more It's very neat and classy inside. We ordered pierogi's on a Friday night and they were incredible. We ordered a plate of half potato and cheese and half spinach and mozzarella. They were simply just amazing. If I have to be super super picky, though, the potato and cheese pierogis tasted only a slightly bit doughy, but it was still great and I'm planning on paying Smetana multiple visits in the future.
