“ I got catfish nuggets and fried zucchini. Dont forget to put the lemon pepper on and get a side of mild sauce. Waited about 5-10 minutes not bad at all for made to order fresh food. Food was great and I want to go back already. Owner was super nice and even gave us some cookies for free. I just wish there was more seating! ”
“ It's always busy in here. They make the food fresh so be prepared to wait a bit. The Philly is delicious. I would give it a 4.5 of 5 stars. Definitely better than jersey Mike's. However, the fries aren't the greatest. I would give them a 2 stars rating. We always order for pick up and then put the fries in the air fryer for a bit at home so they crisp up. They are steak fries and aren't crispy enough for me. Both the strawberry lemonade and the rainbow lemonade have been great. It's a little pricey at around 18 for a sandwich, fries and drink but they give you a ton of fries so my husband and I split a sandwich. ”
“ Lemonade is great! Burger was ok (seemed like a Costco frozen patty), cheese steak was a bit too salty, fries are bland and a bit floppy. Chicken had great flavor and, seriously, do not skip the frozen lemonade (especially on a hot day)!! ”
“ The first initial bite of the Philly wasn’t great but once I hit the meat and cheese with the sogginess of the bread it was wonderful. The fries by themselves are bland but there’s sweet bbq sauce to put on them. The gyro cheese fries were absolutely amazing and I burned myself on the first bite. Thankfully it didn’t damage any taste buds and I was able to taste the lemonade which is probably the best lemonade I’ve ever tasted. The fact that it was like a slushy made it even better. ”
“ The gyro cheeseburgers are 1 of my favorites from here. Food is always fresh & delicious. They give good portion size too. ”
“ I had the Crispy Philly Cheesesteak with bacon, which was amazing. I couldn't eat it all and had to take half of it home. The Fried Oreos were such a treat. I didn't care for the fries. They were plain and didn't have any flavor... I gave my dogs a couple. ”
“ It's good to get a gyro place on the west side of DeKalb. Service was fast. They give a lot of fries which I didn't want. But the meat was good. The sauce is good. Life is good. Seating is it's small. ”
