They have One of the best gyros I've had so far in Chicago. Fun fact about gyros: The word "gyro" comes from the Greek word gyros (), meaning "turn" or "circle." This refers to the rotating spit on which the meat is cooked.

I've lived down the street from this place for several years, but I finally made it there for lunch recently. It's your typical Chicago hot dog stand with the typical offerings The Positives: first, the food is good. When I was there I ordered their two hot dogs, French fries and a soda special. The hot dogs had all of the correct toppings to be a Chicago style hot dog and sausages had a nice flavor and snap. The French fries were fried to perfection. They were golden brown and perfectly crispy. Granted, I didn't order anything super complicated, but they get props for making the classics well. Second, the price and value were good. The special I ordered cost $9.91 after tax. Give today's prices and inflation, this is a good deal, and not sure I could have purchased lunch for less elsewhere. The other items on the menu also seemed like a good deal too. Third, service was fast. I got my food only minutes after ordering. The negatives: first, they are cash only. One of the reasons I hadn't gone here earlier is because I don't typically carry cash. I also would have ordered a burger and fries rather than hot dogs, but I didn't have enough cash in my pocket. Second, they have odd hours. There are closed on Sundays and seem to close early on the days they are open. My first attempt to go here was on a Saturday at 4:41 pm. I walked in and tried to order, but the staff told me they had closed at 4:30 pm. It think it's odd that they don't close on the hour and wish they would be open for dinner or at least later than 4:30 pm. In sum, this a good hot dog stand and worth visiting if you have enough cash.

Delicious food at a fair price. Gotta try the fries! I love the chicken kebob sandwich in pita.

Absolutely outstanding hot Italian beef with mozz. A casual in and out joint and good, fast service. It's got an easy parking lot and nicely located off western if you're in the area. The fries were delicious and I can't wait to come back soon for more classic chicago quick food on nights I'm feeling lazy.

PLEASE patronize Quick Bites Carry Outs! Let me start off by saying I am in no way affiliated with this place. I have driven by Quick Bites no less than 100 times and always wanted to stop in but never did. Today I decided I wanted a hot dog and Quick Bites was going to get my business. I drove 5 miles out of my way just because I had the time and really wanted to give this place a try. I was not disappointed! Let me level set a bit. Was this the best hot dog I ever had in my life, probably not. Was this the best Italian Beef sandwich in the world, not necessarily. With that said, was this an incredibly high quality great value meal which I would go back to again, absolutely! As to the details, I got the two hot dog special which was a great deal. Hot dogs in hot steamed buns with fresh condiments and an order of perfectly cooked fries. Before I ordered I went on Yelp and saw people speaking about the Italian Beef so I ordered one as well. They know exactly what a Chicago Style Italian Beef should look, feel and taste. Great Giardinaira on a well dipped bun with a rich beef juice and a well sliced and tasty beef inside. There were so many other items on the menu including a variety of burgers which I will try in the future. We know people go to these local places in hopes of getting a good quality meal at a reasonable price but the reason they come back is the people working there. This is why I have to tell you please visit this place. During this crazy time with so many small businesses negatively impacted, this restaurant needs to be called out for their customer service. There were 3 people working there at the time of my visit and I was greeted by all three. Each one of them treated me like I was a regular there and made me feel so welcome. When it came time to pay, I noticed it was a cash only venue and I started to panic when I realized I was $1.60 short. Not a quarter but $1.60! I asked where the nearest cash machine was and was told not to worry about it, I can get him next time. Who does that when every dollar is important to a small business. Not only will I make sure to pay the restaurant back with my next visit but I write this because I want to pay them back in interest with everyone of you who reads this review and visits Quick Bites in the future. If you are looking to do a little good for your neighbors and want to get a quality dog at a reasonable price you now know the place to go!

We Ordered Hot Dogs with everything, Beef, fries, and a Pizza Puff. Everything was good your typical Hot Dog stand. I have had however better Hot Dogs and Beef at other places. For A "quick bite" it isn't that bad. This is Cash Only establishment. It's small and has several barstools with a counter to eat.
