Build your own bowl
Katie W.

The staff was the absolute sweetest! The food was incredible. I got the build your own bowl, with tzatziki, chicken, Shawarma, veggies, and garlic sauce. Absolutely delicious!

Tabouli Salad

5 stars earned. Set up similar to Chipotle, you see all the fresh ingredients and watch them prepare the food. The store was very clean and fresh looking. They staff were nice & polite. They have a lunch special 12-2, which is a good deal. We tried the Chicken shawarma , salads , lentil soup & fries. The fries, YUM- so good; Delicious, crunchy , nice light salt. The pickles on the side , with the garlic sauce; definitely adds another layer of deliciousness. . Definitely recommend & will return . Thank you .

Steak Shawarma bowl (make your own bowl)

Amazing! Owner (I believe) offered samples of the meat without me even asking! Food was fresh, flavorful, and juicy. Affordable and quick. 5/5

Chicken shawarma bowl

The entrance of this restaurant shares the entrance of the bakery next door. The restaurant is bright with a few tables to eat in. The staff were patient with me as I decided. I received a sample of the lentil soup which was good. I ordered the lunch special which included rice, salad, steak shawarma, a falafel, chicken kabob along with pita bread. Everything was delicious! I especially loved the steak and falafel. I had a side of hummus which is outstanding! Very creamy! My husband tried the gyro and thought it was good. My daughter enjoyed her chicken shawarma bowl.

Amazing food

Chicken Shawarma Meal - 10/10!

My fiancée went in to get food for us. First time trying and not the last!!! I believe he spoke to the owner, very nice man. Welcoming as well. He got what he recommended & it was the chicken shawarma, as is no changes. I cannot make out the seasoning or flavor but it's there! Comes with fries & I want to say pickled veggies like cauliflower & carrots. The sauce on the side is great... reminds me of a light creamy mayo garlic sauce. To be honest, you need to try this place yourself. Ambience is clean & food is made right then and there.

I walked in recently on a very cold afternoon. It was lunch time. I was immediately greeted by one of the servers and offered a taste of the lentil soup! I was hooked! I ordered a bowl that included rice and choice of meat. I had lamb/beef kabob. What most impressed me was the quality of the food. Im not sure but I believe its halal. I had no regret after eating such a delicious meal. I will definitely go back.

The minute you walk in you smell the Italian meats. and fresh bread. The is long deli case showcasing all the meats, cheeses and salads. We were immediately greeted and a gentleman waited on. We shared this was our first time and he guided us through the ordering process without any pressure. I had the Original Alpine Sub. It is described as their flagship sandwich, and often called one of the best Italian subs in the Chicago area. It comes piled with salami, capicola, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, onion, seasoning, and their signature secret oil dressing. The bread was classic turano bread, so fresh. The sandwich was incredible, The meats were fresh and piled high, making it impossible to eat it in one sitting. My husband had a Corned Beef Sandwich. The corned beef was thinly slices and served with provolone and a variety of toppings. We also had a homemade cannoli. The food was excellent and service waqs outstanding. It is easy to see why they have been in business for 70 years.

Good flavor basic sub. I have been getting the Alpine for a few years now. You can't beat the price…read morefor the quality. It's a genuine old school deli and looks orginal inside. The service is very friendly and attentive. The bread had a good crunch but not to hard.

The "worst" thing about Freddy's is that they are cash only. With a wink and a nod, I understand…read moreWHY Freddy's is a cash-only establishment, but this is the only place I've eaten at in Chicagoland this year where I needed to show up with something larger than a $20 bill to feed my family and need cash. If you can get past that part, Freddy's is a must. Solid subs--we did an Italian and a meatball--and the gelato/ice cream situation is ridiculous. Be sure to check your visit timings; for example, right now they are closed for a two-week stretch, I assume for staff vacations, and the hours are limited, because they are an Italian pizza/sub shop and like the ones in the city, they are not open late. But I like the back patio to extend eating space in the summer time, and people can usually move through quickly if they are just ordering the basics. The shop, featuring loads of Italian sundry goods and pasta items, works too...for those living near Freddy's that are missing spots like Bari or the other sub shops on Grand, or The Italian Store in the DC area, Freddy's checks every box.

Came in yesterday for the first time ever. I was super overwhelmed because they have so many good…read morethings. They have freshly baked bread and a lot of Italian food, ingredients and cooked food. I had just had dinner but I was so tempted to get some risotto or an arancini. The workers are very helpful and knowledgeable. We got a loaf of bread, sausage, cheese, olives, a slice of pizza, and 2 gelatos. If I was hungry I would have ordered a lot more because everything looked so delicious behind the counter. The gelato was so delicious! I really wish I had gotten the Italian ice though because it was so hot outside and it would have hit the spot. I would definitely return as I'd like to get pasta and some of their homemade pasta sauce.
