Papa Chris’ Place

We absolutely love this place! The food is always good. The best patty melts. And the people that own it are super friendly. They always seem to remember us. Burgers and polish are good choices too. Pleasant atmosphere and clean.

Was in the area with a friend, saw this place, so thought we would try it. Typical Greek joint, 1000 things on the menu board. Friendly service from the lady at the counter… ordered 2 hots dogs, fries, 1 gyros, tamale, soup and a cheeseburger. The hot dogs might have been the worst I have ever had, stale, stale bun with a very average dog inside. Fries are the normal frozen out the bag crinkle cut. Soup was very salty. Excellent cheeseburger with the right amount of crust to the burger. Very average gyros… they aren’t buying the top quality gyro meat… sauce was great. The tamale probably was good, but couldn’t get the strings off the ends to try it… just through it away. Saw some people eating the chicken next to us… looked very good. All in all, probably won’t be back. The hots dogs at Al’s Beef just down the road are super.

We stopped by this place on a whim after playing racquetball. It was a great place to go eat yummy fried foods after working out. It was great because it is super clean with a nicer ambiance than most tirple-​D-​esque places even though we were in sweats.
They have double doors which I love so those sitting next to the doors don’t freeze when they open! It was nearly sterile clean, and you can tell they are a member of the community.
The food was standard (in a good way) and was served quickly. I was questioning how hot the fries could be since they were ready nearly moments after ordering but they were. The gyro platter is a little expensive but honestly, 2 – 3 people could easily split it.
They were also super nice in regards to our hyper toddler who was only calm when gulping down the gyro meat.
We will be back.

I’m having the best cream of chicken soup I’ve ever had! Great service and food. Beef sandwich tender, juicy and tasty. The curly fries are just right. You can’t go wrong with anything here.

Went here on a whim. The person behind the counter was super-​nice! Inside, the place look somewhat dated. We ordered grilled chicken sandwiches and some mozzarella sticks. The chicken was rather bland. I would think it’s no more than a sliver of chicken, maybe 4oz, on a bun. Nothing worth mentioning, but definitely not worth the price they were charging for them.
The mozzarella sticks were your standard sticks. They had decent breading and gooeyness. The plus is that there were plenty of seats inside and parking was ample

This place was soooooooooooooo good! I was not expecting it to be great, but I was wrong! The cauliflower was so tasy, the cheese fries were delish (merks cheese, I think), the polish sausage was so good I wanted to get another one immediately. I wish I was closer to this place!

Papa Chris’ Place is always a great destination for fast food good! Their burgers and hot dogs are perfect. Customer service is very friendly and courteous and the restaurant itself is kept very clean. Definitely recommended!

I decided to try this place out based on the earlier reviews and went here the first week of October. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, Cheese Fries, Baklava, and Root Beer. First thing I noticed were the portions were large and second the food was delicious. Place was clean and is a great bang for the buck.

First time here, even though my grade school classmates came here all the time. I think they sponsor my grade school, Wildwood, but I’m not sure. Cheese fries were delicious. Had a cheese burger too, which was just right. Will try their gyro next time.

The gyros here is one of the best I’ve ever had, super delicious and moist with a side of fries, pita bread, the homemade sauce and a large drink. Makes for a great lunch stop. The business is family run which I like and the fresh Greek desserts like the baklava with honey and cinnamon is so good. I’ve also had the traditional rice pudding which I enjoyed. Great place for a meal, will be back soon.

I come here for lunch all the time. Usually take it to go. They have never messed up and order. It is cheap and tastes great! They know me by face and love their customers!!! :) Go try it for yourself!

I love coming to this place. Very clean & the workers are so sweet. The food is absolutely amazing. I always get the gyros with fries & a coke. I’ve had the cheese fries & the seasoned fries both good but I like the seasoned fries more. The gyros are the really tasteful & well stacked with meat! They give refills on drinks, thats always a plus. I can eat this place everyday. Wish they had one in the suburbs.

This place has been around for a long time I drive past it while I’m out working all the time but stopped in for lunch for the first time today. Had a gyros and it is every bit as good as twin on Harlem. Maybe even a little better I hate to say it. Absolutely delicious cooked perfectly just the right amount of onions tomato and cucumber sauce. I wish I had stopped in years earlier but will stop in for lunch every time I’m in the area now!

The first thing I noticed was that the place was immaculate. There wasn’t a speck of dirt, grime or dust, not even under the tables. I ordered a tuna melt, some mozzarella sticks and a slice of baklava. Tuna melt was solid, can’t really screw that up. The mozzarella sticks were a home run. Most places like this will overcook them. These were golden brown with perfect gooey cheese inside. Now, for the finale… The absolute best slice of baklava I’ve ever had. The piece was gigantic and oozing with honey goodness. This was my first time at Papa Chris’s, but definitely not my last.

My favorite place! I love their hot dog with fries! Their service is good because it’s fast and the people are friendly, too!

This is one of my favorite local places. The owner and his wife are very friendly and the food is great. If you’re in the mood for a burger, fries, and a coke I say eat here. Nice place to eat during those hot summer days.

This place provides consistently high quality year in year out. Very good food always served hot and fresh. Friendly efficient service.
A quick serve restaurant where you order and pick up your food at the counter. Their menu is rather extensive beyond gyros, hot dogs, burgers and fries. Unlike many of their competitors their food doesn’t taste like it was sitting under a heat lamp for a half hour. There is ample seating.

Figured I’d update my review. This is still a decent option for «charred» foods. Typical char-​type restaurant with a few Greek options often found at places like these. Stuff like, gyros, Saganaki, kebabs, Baklava as well as typical American fast food favorites as in cheeseburgers, BLT’s, hot dogs and a lot of fried items.
They often offer a special combo of the day and it’s priced just above $ 5 dollars, which comes with a side and drink. These days, prices like these for a decent meal are hard to come-​by.
Since it’s Lent season, figured I’d stop in for a lunch of a fried fish sandwich and side salad. The weekday afternoon was busy with repeat customers that are often referred to by name. A nice perk to being a «repeat.» The shop is never busy, it’s comfortable and approachable whether you’re dining solo or wanting to be joined by a few.
The place, although dated, was clean and comfortable enough for enjoying the time spent. If you dig typical fast food, you’ll get your moneys worth. But these days with more «local» food restaurants offering «made-​from-​fresh» items (i.e. hand cut fries as opposed to frozen), it’s kind of dinosaur in a modern world. A place for the «Joes» to grab a convenient meal.

YUM! Where can you get delicious Chicago food at a great value. The gyros was excellent and the tzatziki sauce tasted homemade. Crisp crinkle fries that were not greasy at all. The regular hot dog was okay. The dog itself was rather small and it was too «bun-​y». Probably would order the ¼ pounder one next time. Really great helpful and friendly owners and staff.

Good, good, and more good. Try the Big Stan, gyros, the ribs, and so much more. This place has got you covered.
