    Love the food here. Took my wife and kids here to enjoy some burgers and fries, just talk about great taste. Nothing less than satisfied with the last bite. I always came here after work on my way home. Great workers and everyone is polite and service is fast. Enjoy the onion rings and garlic fries.

    Poor Boy is so good that I travel from South Chicago to 1st ave in Maywood to dine there. The food is ultimately delicious and the service so responsive. The grilled chicken salad and grilled chicken sandwich are out of this world. Go there! You won't be sorry!

    Another one of those instances where I am absolutely hooked. The first time I came I tried their Chicago style hot dog. I cannot order anything else when I come. It must be a hot dog.

    I have been going here for years..Still I have not been disappointed in regards to any other my orders. Get place for a quick lunch or quick dinner if you enjoy fast food. Customer Service has always been professional.

    This is the real deal. Grade A polish sausage. Garlic fries. Regular fries are overflowing. Hot dogs have that snap 👌. Hit here after the zoo. Everything looks amazing, but I can't bring myself to get anything other than the polish, just too good. Fast in fast out. Parking sucks, but worth it. Haven't been here, get there. Get that polish. Grilled onions. Mustard and send me a thank you card.

    I’ve only order their food through Uber eats and I enjoy their food a lot. I started enjoying their food since 2021. I never stepped into their restaurant, but may plan to one day. If you ever visit the restaurant, let me know what is like. As for the food, I recommend the chicken on pita.

    first time trying the food and wow. only had the gyro but they don't mess around with the portions. I was already full and it tastes great. meat is tender and the veggies are fresh.

    Can't give PB 5 stars because of the parking lot. I've been a customer since the place was shack. Go ahead a purchase the former gas station next to the Burger King and then I will give you 5 star. Food is good. Customer service is good. Location is good. Parking lot hectic!

    It's a great little place where they have awesome food fast, and they pile it on too. "What is 'it'?" you ask. "It" is everything. Whatever it can be, it is, and they pile it on. Wonderful place! 5 outta 5 stars, no notes!

    Awesome place to get some quick food, so far I had a gyro which was good and a Italian beef which a solid 3 out of 5. Customer service is great. And well it's a small place keep that in mind when planning to eat there is not a whole lot of seats. Serving portions are great with LOTS OF FRIES! And it's priced fairly!

    I used to look forward to grabbing a sandwich at poor boy years ago. I decided to take make son to experience what I used to love. He enjoyed his burger a lot and agreed their fries are good but I was personally disappointed in my sandwich that had chewy bread, had way too much mayo and mustard even when I asked for them light. It also was lacking in sufficient meat. I've had too many good experiences to give up so I'll give them another try in the future.

    Food was great! Made fresh and in a timely manner. Staff was friendly. Dinning area was clean. A bit pricey.

  • 4/5 Mateusz K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was quickly prepared. To me cheese fries weren't that good. The polish on the other hand was good but I definitely had better. The servers were great. There is a good amount of parking right in front. Still a solid place to get food with good prices.

    Great food, nice service. Excellent stop for a bite before going to the Zoo. Wide selection. Nice variety! Will go again!

    Love getting my salads from here, one order can feed 2 ppl or it this dish for 2 days. Food is Awesome here and staff are very professional/ productive.

  • 5/5 CC C. 1 year ago on Google
    Little amount of parking spaces but we'll worth stopping by. Food and staff are amazing. Plenty of meals to choose from from fresh salads and choices of salads, to chicken, to beef, Vienna hotdogs and available to stack with other meats. So tasty and worth going.
