A Taste of Chicago

Fantastic food! Off the beat’n path but well worth it. Best customer service ever. We will be going back.

PROS: Excellent flavors; friendly management; easy to get to; prices are usually reasonable; wide variety of food; across from a park so it works well for picnics
CONS (although this is lengthy, the place really is worth trying!): I wish that the menus were a bit more detailed as I don’t always know what’s in/​on an item based on the name; the picnic tables have a bit of a mosquito and ant problem (based on location, not on the restaurant); parking is a little confusing since it’s not really marked and is sort of ad hoc; a couple of my friends that I’ve suggested this place to have skipped it after seeing the building, since it appears fairly divey, but that’s not a big deal for everyone; ordering and then waiting for your food is sort of confusing since all you can do is either stand in the parking area out front or sit further away on the picnic tables.
On the whole, this place has way better /​more flavorful food than you’d expect walking up to it. I highly suggest that you give it a try if you are the sort that can give a somewhat divey restaurant a chance! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed :)

Its my first tome here and its sure not my last. This place may be small but don’t let that fool you it has everything you could possibly ask for great food with a wide variety, prices are fair, and great service that makes you feel at home. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and it was awesome, you can taste the sautéed ingredients that complimented the steak. And we even got a free dessert treat at the end!

Cool change of pace. Older neighborhood. Picnic tables in the side yard. Walk up to the window to order. Folks running it seem to be adding customer’s favorite foods at a rapid clip; they were giving out samples of jerked chicken and pork the evening I went, and it was the best I have ever tasted. I had the Greek plate (due to Tess O.‘s review) and concur is was great, although it was a tough choice since many of the menu items looked very good. Folks running the place are very friendly and make you feel at home, which is a feeling you just don’t get much anymore. I definitely plan to stop by again next time through Belton.

I have seen this place many times on our trips to Yettie Polk Park and have always thought it was just a snow cone and ice cream vendor. Well, our photography group was in the park last week and a member went over to get a drink. She came back with a menu and I was shocked at all that they offered.
They have such a wide variety of food from gyros, hummus, burgers, nachos, hot dogs and my favorite, the veggie burger. Their veggie burger was to die for! Best I’ve had in the entire area so far. I will be back just for that!
Now, there is no place to sit that is air conditioned, but the park is right there, so you have your choice of scenery. This is the only reason I am giving it four stars. The food is definitely five stars!

Nice little place where you eat outside on picnic tables. Good food with friendly service.
