I don't know what happened. It's been a while. This once upon a time treat on 127th Street has lost its flavor. We used to come here regularly, as a treat from the usual burgers and fries, recommended by a family friend who hipped us to it over 20 years ago. The Italian combo with a side of cheese fries was our traditional go-to order. But this most recent trip put us in a trick bag. The sausage was a series of smaller overcooked meat portions arranged to fit in the bun. The beef didn't merit mention. Dipping it, drowning it with cheese sauce, adding chunks of green pepper could not disguise the fact that something was amiss. Add on the almost $25 cost for two orders pretty much sealed the d...
Food is great! It 's an old Chicago classic place to visit. This time my experience with customer service was not too great! I ordered something that the cashier, (a black guy) didn 't know what it was. Instead of saying, o, I 'm not sure what that is let me ask! He turned his nose up at me and said very Rudely, A WHAT? The other guy had to take over and explain to him. He was just so rude and never said o ok ma 'am I know now, I apologize or anything. He was rude the entire time I was in there. If the other guy didn 't step in with such niceness I would 've taken my money and left. I was ordering a fairly large order, so it would 've been a nice chunk missing.
In an attempt to call ahead to place my order, they answered the phone but immediately put me on hold, they never picked back up. The place has ample parking but the area to place an order could only hold about 4-5 ppl. Saturday night was very busy but luckily the cooks are very fast. I ordered both a Turkey melt and chicken Philly. The chicken Philly smelt and looked delightful however it substantially lacked flavor. The Turkey melt was tasty but made w regular sandwich bread and a small piece of breast. Neither item came with a soda, both slightly over priced $18 total.
A classic greasy spoon, perfect just the way it is. Loved the fries super crispy! Strawberry shake is best I've had with real bits of strawberries in every sip. Good gyros sliced super thin. The burger meat for the patty melt though was pretty atrocious. It was pounded to death and kind of thin and dense like a White Castle patty. Not crumbly, just tough. Despite that, it was cooked really well on the flattop and assembled nicely. Can't wait to go back and try some other things. It's absolutely worth checking out. Book a table now
Food is still great slacking a little to be perfectly honest compared to the days of old when I went AT LEAST once a week and the customer service SUCKS I miss the owner and the great staff that use to work there makes me not want to even go there because of it but I want to support the owner and it's nostalgic for me but they need to humble themselves take a lesson on customer service and cook the Dillinger's way they f#?!!!! up the reputation with an attitude sad
Dillingers very Good food is always fresh, been going here since they started I'm now 57 years old and still when I want take out, this is my go to spot. Excellent service fresh food fresh fruit shakes
The gyro cheeseburger is the best thing on the menu as it's hard to decide what to eat here. Everything on the menu is so fresh and delicious. I can taste the big delicious cheese burger. Love it All!
I've been eating here since they opened in 1984 and can honestly say... I've NEVER HAD ANYTHING THAT WASN'T GREAT FOOD Book a table now
Did not disappoint even though they forgot my bananas in my sundae I still enjoyed my meal. Will definitely return.
