    I eat here occasionally and it's always the same thing. Philly cheese steak combo. I usually enjoy my order and sometimes tip the cashier but tonight was just the worst experience ever. [Monday June 27 between 9pm til closing] I ordered the philly cheese steak combo and the sandwich tasted old and horrible. Had to throw it away because it was near closing time and I was already home and couldn't get a refund. The drink was fine. The fries were fresh and hot but the sandwich looked and tasted like somebody's returned order from an earlier time that wasn't thrown away but instead kept to reserve. It was poorly wrapped up and extremely hot to touch. Hotter than it is when I usually order it. When I opened the wrapping. It was very messy and badly put together. The bread was extremely hot , hard in some spots, chewy and shriveled up. The meat was tough. The onions had no smell or taste and the cheese had practically disintegrated and appeared almost like a glue texture that coated pieces of that tough meat throughout the entire sandwich. That's when I realized it most likely had been microwaved or something. Probably won't be eating here anymore. That's sick. No telling how the other customer handled their unwanted order before returning it. I don't play them type of games.. y'all just lost a customer with that nasty stunt y'all pulled.

    Decent food at a decent price. The chicken lemon rice soup has way too much lemon in it and I'm not sure I ever found a piece of chicken. The fries are good and I feel the rest of the food is a good value. I really hate when they run the vacuum cleaner while you are eating.

    I wish I could give no stars. I ordered the rib tip dinner.. all fat dipped in bbq sauce. They told me to bring the ribs back tomorrow. Then the Lil Hispanic clown told me I was lying. Never eat at that location.... everything I ate there they messed up my order...

    We eat here a lot. Kids like it, food is good, pricing won't break the bank.

    If you like lemon chicken rice soup this is the place to go! They also have delicious garlic fries. The prices are very reasonable the dining area is always clean and the waitstaff is very friendly. We love stopping at poor boy too!!

    This place offers a nice much needed break from the big chain fast food spots. The fact that they’re always busy is a testament that they’re doing things right. The menu is huge. Everything you need after a night out, or an afternoon of watching the Bears lose is on that magical menu board. The hamburger actually fits the oversized bun and it tastes like a hamburger that you might remember from a different time. Replete with vegetables that have names you can actually recognize such as fresh tomatoes and onions, and a hunk of plain old American lettuce, the hamburger is honoured here as a staple of American fast food. Salads, warm up foods like poppers and fries are all about what you’d expect on the South Side of Chicago when it was actually the Great South Side. Service is fast because there’s always someone behind you in the drive-thru. A hamburger with a Greek salad is a full meal and well worth the price. I get a side of extra dressing, but that’s just me. The gyros sandwich is two meals for me. It’s a typical gyro with actual taziki sauce (sp) like you’ve had a a hundred other gyro joints except this one has too much meat (a plus) and nice warm fresh pita bread. I imagine that you could go wrong at Poor Boy’s, but I never have. If you’re looking for quick, non-franchise joint food, eat in or drive-thru, stop in at either location.

    This place is amazing. I went here and ordered an Italian beef with fries and a medium drink. They have craft sodas here that taste better than almost any mainstream soda, and their Italian beef is gigantic! It all tasted great. The atmosphere is just a little bleak though.

    The food is amazing, I'm from the East coast visiting Illinois with my partner and the food is out of this world.

    Usually the food is good. Shouldn't be called Poor Boys any longer. Unless it means they will make you poor.

    I stop here on my weekly route and enjoy it every single time. I have been trying different items on the menu and am stuck on the Chicken Philly in a wrap. Definitely worth the stop.

    My go to for a great giro. Maybe I should get t-shirt and advertise for them. We’ll see…

  • 5/5 Greg R. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything on the menu is delicious. Can't go wrong with a gyro plate and bbq fries. Great place to eat.

  • 5/5 Micheal W. 1 year ago on Google
    Got a gyro, it was heavily stuffed. It was very good, but I needed some more sauce. Their drive through menu is too encumbersome. There were no pictures. It would be nice to know much food I was getting.
