I have driven through to purchase the chicken kabob platter two times and each time the restaurant has failed to include the tziki (sp)sauce. SO FRUSTRATING. Their response by phone is sorry, next time you should ask for it at the window. Seriously? I'm suppose to remind you to do your job.

If you want a quick greasy burger with that charcoal flavor this place is great. I no longer commute though here but went out of my way to come here.

Food was not as good as before. Chicken was good, but the biscuits were bad, really bad.

The Grilled Charcoal Chicken sandwich is delicious. Worth a try. Nice oasis on the north side.

Love Charcoal Delights! The food is always super delicious, with large portions. The staff is always very friendly. No complaints, highly recommend!

Went here after North Park football game. Wife got Greek Salad to go. Giant black human hair on the tomato. Disgusting. What a waste of 8 bucks. Picture coming next.

Have been going there for 30 years and tonight was THE WORST food ever. Picked up a charcoal chicken dinner with rice, potatoes and pita. Nothing was good - chicken was dry and everything tasted reheated. Threw it out!

The food is typically good, if they can manage somehow to get the order correct. I know it's a lot to ask!!They have very incompetent people running the drive-through. I stated what I needed 3 times, with certain condiments left off of the beef sandwich, due to allergies, and they still messed up and put it on the order. Thank goodness I checked it out before serving it, or it would have ended up in an ER visit. Shameful! If you can't hire competent people, run it yourselves, or just shut down.. it will cost you in the long run

I don't know why I've never written a review for Charcoal Delights before, shocked really. I've lived nearby for most of my adolescence and have had pretty much everything on the menu with the exception of the fish sandwich. I usually am satisfied with their burgers which takes some time but it's worth it. They have a drive through but unless you catch them at an off time it might be a long but worthwhile wait. My latest visit I went with their Italian beef. I remember back in the day they just had a pepperoncini peppers which I found distasteful, seriously not even sweet peppers?Well, they must have gotten enough complaints or something because it's changed and for the better. The sandwich managed to have enough juice without it being a soggy mess b the time I got back to the house to eat it. The fries though have stayed the same, crispy, delicious not quite a steak fry but not a shoestring.

This place is for sure a couple rungs above your typical fast food restaurant in both selection and quality of food. But do NOT order their desserts - their parfaits must be made to sit for weeks, and the most recent chocolate one was dead sour milk with the smell leaking out as soon as the lid came off. No date on them, nothing. Makes me concerned for what other sanitary and food prep issues they miss in there… ?

Mr. Gus is the greatest! Also, his food is tremendous. The gyro is my favorite in all of Chicago. We love to go and eat with our family. There's so many tasty options at really reasonable prices. Service with a smile! Opa!

Sometimes a good grilled cheese sandwich makes me feel like life is worth living.They have a satisfying triple decker grilled cheese with your choice of bread (rye, yes!). Fries are fresh. No charcoal, but still a delight.Minuses: styrofoam cups, no mustard (they had a spot for packets, but it was filled with sugar packets or something d*** like that). There were 3 big evil ketchup dispensers though (aka, red corn syrup). Small complaints though, in the bigger picture of things.Plusses: clean, good food made quickly with love, hot sauce bottles are freely available, nice kinda retro (1980s-1990s, but remodeled since then) fast food atmosphereVegetarian options: Not much, but grilled cheese and some sides (fries onion rings). Vegans are probably out of luck here though. Sad. Wah, wah.
