Skippers Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Such a charming place, it felt like I traveled through time. Nice Mexican selections along with the usual Vienna beef hot dog stuff.
Their food is amazing. Especially the tacos! Paul the owner is really a cool guy. Been going there for years. Highly recommend this place!
Yummy gyros excellent cheese frie. Taziki tasted like salad dressing. Super efficient . Went to pita to pick up food. Before I went in, I called in the order by the time I got out of Pita Inn and grab my food it was ready. The onions were very hot. Wish they would soak in water first
Love this place & go here at least once a week! It's my go to for Gyros because it's so good & so are there fries. I'm Greek so I'm very picky when it comes to Greek food. Also the Avgolemeno ( egg lemon soup) is homemade & tastes like my Yiayia's. Must try!!!
Great start. Just went there for the first time and ordered a Hot Dog with Fries. If you cant get a Chicago Dog right in Chicagoland you shouldn't be in business. They got it right. All the elements were there and everything tasted fresh. The fries were unspectacular as they tasted like they were frozen. Either way I wont ding them too much. The place is super clean and well stocked. I live across the street and will come here more often. Good start guys!!
This was a Grubhub order, which (of course) Grubhub messed up. No problem though, because the food more than made up for it! Grecian chicken done perfectly, gyros plentiful and sauced just right, hot dogs right on point... If you need to get good Greek fare, this is one of the best places to go to!!
My parents live near this restaurant. Their menu is actually quite large. Surprisingly, their shrimp meal is very good. Large, actually. I also like their steak sandwich. The hands down favorite for my family is their gyro (which I don't order). To me it also looks very large. I think the prices are reasonable. It looks like they offer to go, delivery, and dine in.
