Most Disliked
At peak hours, especially on Thursday evenings, the restaurant can get unexpectedly busy, leading to longer wait times. Timing visits can help avoid the busiest periods, but some may find it frustrating.
Despite multiple options, a few diners expressed desires for more variety on the menu, especially for vegetarian choices.
Space can be tight during rush times, making it less appealing for groups wanting a quieter atmosphere. While it's lively, larger parties may find it challenging to secure a comfortable spot.
Some diners noted that the hot sauce on the fries can be overwhelming if you prefer milder flavors. Having options is great, but customization could further enhance the experience.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! From the service to the food! The owner was very kind to me and made me feel welcome. I live so close but never knew there was something so good nearby! The food was excellent. My friend and I had the chicken wings, gyro, chicken tenders, and cheese fries! 🍟 all ten stars. The cheese fries are 🔥🔥🔥

Came with my family on the way to a concert, had lovely service and were very helpful people. Gave us new things to try as we were dining in, and were overall very nice and the food was amazing! I highly recommend stopping through here if you have the time.

Little hidden gem. Foods super cheap probably cheapest in all of Chicago. And the food better then 90% of other places also. Super friendly staff also very clean store. They have about 80 different options to choose from so you won't leave hungry.

I’ve been to multiple places for food but nothing can compare to hotspot. Had a gyro today and all the flavors were delicious! Def was super happy with my decision, especially when I bought a gyro from a different place and was disappointed. All their food is fresh, family owned and their gyro sauce is made from scratch 💚 as well as other sauces like the BBQ. They also have have the chicken pita. They add Mexican green salsa, and very filling 😋😋 their fries are made fresh, cut daily and are one of the few places that has the skin on them . 🍟
