The 2 regular sandwiches and fries for $10  Such a great sandwich at such a low price.
Gene A.

I just happened upon this place. Little hole in the wall! Rolls are fresh everyday! Excellent sandwiches and the fries honestly taste like McDs. 2 huge sandwiches and fry's for 10 bucks. They are friendly and nice people. However the parking lot is sketch as F'k. Every time I go to the VA across the street I go here.

When driving down Roosevelt road one place has caught my eye quite a few times that I never bothered to set foot in. Submarine Brothers with its somewhat gaudy sign has been passed by time and time again. One Saturday afternoon I finally took the time to stop in and give it a try. Submarine Brothers has a lot more than just subs, they have burgers, gyros, Italian beefs, basically this place is a traditional Chicago style greasy spoon that also has subs. In stopping by the imagery of a hot dog on the sign drew me in. I decided to go for a hot dog, despite the name submarine brothers there was only one lady working who both took my order and prepared the food. A few minutes later my hot dog was ready and it was time to dig in. The hot dog I received came on a somewhat dry poppy seed bun, it was skinless there was a long pickle slice and a lot of mustard. The onion was chopped up and the relish was applied quite sparingly. The sport peppers on top were good and there was two to match the length of the dog itself.This led to a fairly unbalanced overall combination of flavors. The mustard was a strong overwhelming flavor here. Overall I was unimpressed with Submarine Brothers, a longer than normal wait combined with a below average hot dog left me disappointed. If you're in the area I'd recommend skipping by this place, flashy sign or not better options exist in either direction along Roosevelt. Instead of being called submarine brothers, maybe subpar brothers would be a more appropriate name for this restaurant. Two stars for this place.

Ribeye steak & fries
Rozalynn B.

Haven't been in here in years! As a child and a teen it use to be 1 of my favorite places to get a ribeye steak sandwich from until I was able to drive and discovered Greektown! Lolbs. WHEN YOU KNOW BETTER YOU DO BETTER!!!! I came in and got my same old favorite items ribeye steak sandwich & fries. The sandwich filled my hunger at 2am. Will I go back by choice at 7pm, NO!!! (Steak quality is horrible) But happy to have had an old time fave. The 4 stars are for them being there in my time of late night hunger!!!!!

I had a corned beef sub from them and it was horrible. The corned beef was wet and slimy and nasty. I won't be returning here.

Ordered a combo juicy with sweet peppers. This order came with fries and a drink. The combo was…read morefull 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.

So I have to admit this was my first Chicago style hot dog... And I don't know why the rest of us…read morehave 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!

We wanted some late night dinner and we searched yelp for something on the way that was open late…read moreand was good because most of the fast food places around the area had less than three stars. I'm really glad that we tried poor boy. We walked in past 11 PM and they had the lobby closed so you had to order through a speaker through like a glass window so there's no indoor or outdoor seating past a certain time. I'm guessing for safety. The menu is pretty big, but we scrolled through yelp beforehand just to see what we liked and kind of had an idea walking in so we ordered our food and I would say it took no more than 10 minutes to get it. We took it back to the hotel and the super that we ordered was massive. It's enough for two people to share. In my opinion. The bread was really fresh and the ingredients tasted fresh as well. I'm not sure if it was the condiments or maybe they put oil on the sandwich but I don't think it would last a second day because the bread was starting to get soggy, but it tasted really good. The size of the garlic fries was also great. We were able to share that and it tasted so garlic and delicious. It also had a seasoning I think it was Cajun but not sure because it wasn't spicy but that tasted good too. I wish I could've eaten both more fresh, but unfortunately, we had to take it back to the hotel But the fries and the sandwich still tasted great an hour later.

Unfortunately, my experience at Poor Boy was disappointing. The service was slow and unorganized,…read moreand I didn't feel welcomed as a customer. The food was okay, but not worth the wait or overall experience. The atmosphere could also use improvement because it didn't feel very clean or inviting. I hope management works on customer service and creating a better experience.

You want a real authentic Chicago Dog, come to Lucky! Serving the community for years. We can…read morealways count on Lucky for; fast food, drive thru's, open late. No frills no problem! Under $7! A nice Vienna Beef Dog, with all the magic of Chicago Style; the sports peppers. Sliced tomatoes, relish, onion and don't forget the mustard ... sometimes a sprinkle of celery salt, sometimes. Add some hot fresh krinkle fries, roll it all together, thank you Lucky Dog, Perfect late night stop. Corner location near the 290, North Exit on Lagrange Rd. Between 1st Ave and Lagrange Location. North Side of Street on Cermak Rd, Nice big sign , specials are posted. Drive thru was clean and functional, open lot for free parking to customers. East of the Home Depot. Friendly service . Great Value

I noticed a one dollar price difference on my meal. I was rung up $7.59 for their chili cheese…read moredog/fries instead of $6.49 listed. when I asked the lady at the register she dismissed me saying it included tax. I checked my receipt and asked another male employee, again I was dismissed. He hesitated then fiddled with the register so I thought he was going to make it right. He hesitated some more and replied "I can just tell the manager." The other employee were looking at me bewildered that I was asking about a mistake. No one else chimes in they just stared. I said I don't mind if thr price changed but they need to either change it on the menu or tell customers when ordering. When did principals become taboo to question?!

Highly recommend! Bill's Place did NOT disappoint! From the moment I walked in, the energy was…read moregreat. The place was packed (for good reason), but the service was still super fast and on point. What really stood out was the owner coming out personally to say hello and ask if it was my first time, which it was. He was incredibly kind and even treated me to a free meal, which was such a thoughtful touch. I ordered the grilled cheese with cheese fries... absolutely delicious. Simple comfort food done right. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Between the amazing hospitality, speedy service, and great food, I'll definitely be back. If you're thinking about trying it, go. You won't regret

Bill's place, where do I start. I lived in La Grange for 7 years before going to college in…read moreRochester NY and this place has lived rent free in my head during my time at college. I remember when I would ride my bike here and pick up a burger or pizza. Always friendly staff and the nicest owner. Had many amazing experiences with Bill's and the food was always amazing. I also really like the old style diner setting when visiting as well. One very notable instance was when my family catered from here for a cross country pasta party and the pasta blew expectations. (For a place I wrongly assumed was going to have subpar pasta when compared to its amazing chicken, pizza, and burgers I had my doubts about its pasta obliterated.) Pizza was always delish and the broasted chicken was always a highlight whenever I ordered it. Will always come to visit when I'm in town from college and WILL recommend to my friends visiting from Rochester!
