“Terrific portions. Great prices for kosher food. There’s about ten more things on the menu I want to try and plan to visit again when I come back to Skokie!”
“Came in for a quick lunch. Had the turkey burger , French fries and the most delicious String beans ever! The staff is very nice. The air conditioning works great!”
“Owner is a friend for a few decades. He does great work with a smile. He hires great people and his son runs the show in front. The food is on the better part of the comfort food spectrum. Shwarma is really good. Soup is fantastic and the burgers are great. Stick to the comfort food. My kids feel these are the best fries in the country 😀 and the drummets and popcorn chicken are worth the price.”
“Food is excellent, especially the buddy burger which is a masterpiece!!!!! And their popcorn bbq chicken is delish! One of the best burgers I’ve ever tasted! Eat it once and you’ll definitely be back for more!!!!! Fries which come with the buddy burger are delish.”

“The Great Chicago Food & Beverage Co. has hands down my favorite greasy burger around. The Bay-Ken Burger is an absolute must order and hits the spot every single time. Perfectly messy, packed with flavor, and exactly what you want when you’re craving a classic Chicago comfort burger. What really makes this place special though is the people. I often come in with large groups from a local Jewish organization that serves individuals with I/DD, and the staff and owners are always unbelievably kind, patient, and accommodating. They go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and have even surprised our group with cookies and treats on the house. That kind of generosity and genuine care means a lot to the people we bring and to me personally. Seriously great food and even better people. Please keep supporting this place. They deserve every bit of success.”
“I come here right around the time it opens, and sometimes in the afternoons on other days. I’m a fan of the baked beans and the fried chicken. They have pretty good sauces and if you get a burger, inside of a whole wheat wrap, I would say it’s the best I’ve had so far. I have an A+ rating over Other restaurants. The food is kosher, and it has CRC supervision. The staff is always polite and friendly, and they usually know their customers by name. I usually see the CTA bus drivers come in on their way home and grab food and they always get treated well. I’ve seen others from the neighborhood drop in and they don’t get treated any differently. The owners always have a big smile on their face when they see me. That counts for a lot and it says a lot. To most places you’re just in order, but to these guys, you’re more than just an order.”
“Nothing shy of a 5 star! Wonderful place, great food, service and well priced! Right around the corner of Zidishov shul, so food and Shul together ❤️”
“I absolutely love this place! It’s run by a powerhouse father-and-son duo, and they’ve totally nailed it. The food is always fresh, made to order, and seriously delicious every single time. You can tell they put real care into what they do.”
“Great Chicago is such a classic and great kosher spot- my favorite is the popcorn chicken, but their burgers are also world class, the drumettes are amazing, superb chicken noodle soup and Avi and Yossi are such great people. Highly reccomend 🙌”
