“My go-to spot for good Chicago fast food since 198?. Can't go wrong with the gyro plate. Classic”
“I haven't had Hubs in quite some time but guess what... it's still as good as I remember.”
“This establishment offers a spacious environment for dining and provides ample parking. During our initial visit, I found the food to be quite enjoyable, and my wife particularly relished the pork kabobs and grilled chicken. The staff was very helpful in accurately describing our order. I would recommend this place, as the pricing is quite reasonable.”
“I used to come here years ago when I lived in the area, and visiting again brought back a lot of great memories. The food is pretty average, but there’s something nostalgic and comforting about this place. Service was good, atmosphere felt familiar, and overall we enjoyed our visit. Definitely check them out for yourself and enjoy a nice meal with family or friends..”
“I guess when you order for delivery they give you low quality & less meat. The tomato is bigger than the amount of chicken received. Also ask to provide with napkins and utensils did not receive anything & to top it off found a hair string on my sandwich”
“Well this was kind of a bucket list from a my mom Filipino female friend who kept ranting about hubs both here in Chicago and the one in Skokie. Anyways I gave it a try it's decent or meh ok. Service was a bit slow but they did pick up I ordered the chicken kabob since they said that was one of their specialties next to the gyros but I was not in the mood for gyros I was going to try the ribs but it was a little pricey as mentioned service was a bit slow. Ambience is very casual I thought it was some fancy place this is just a local popular franchise that old Filipinos ranted about. I would come back for the ribs maybe but other than that nothing else that's the three stars on this review. Who was good but just average good nothing I would do cartwheels or get excited about. The baklava was average the chicken was good but not a oh wow impressive the chili was just a meh ok”
“I was disappointed with the Italian Beef-n-Sausage combo. Stick to the Greek food which is very good.”
“I ordered a carting package for my father 60th birthday party and told them to put 5 LB of gyros meat and they put very little. I'm regular customer of Hub put very upset today.”
“Very disappointing, they say if your dining area is dirty, imagine the kitchen! They used to have excellent food and great customer service…We always used to love the ribs and chicken kabobs. The food and service went downhill, everything was burnt and dry. There were 2 young girls with nothing to do and I even asked if someone could cleanup and wipe off the tables and she told me the busboy is busy. They also allowed a homeless man to sit in the corner of the dining room.”
