I've lived in this area for 10 years... I've been eating here since I can remember... GREAT gyros for a great price!! I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Love this place. Good local place with a bunch of great sandwiches and burgers. Tough location to get in though.

This is good stuff for what it is. I'm a big fan of their gyros. This reminds me of Steve's gyros in Lombard. Both are awesome bargain food.

First time here! I got the turkey and cheese sub and it was awesome! Their pizza puffs were great as well :-) not bad prices either!

Nice place at good prices. I would have thought that a small place with such a wide menu would have a problem. I am wrong. The Italian beef although I have not tasted it, is great. I wish I ordered it. I had the fish sandwich which was okay. Great tasting food, good prices, quick service.

If you are looking for inexpensive food options, this is awesome. Most meals are under $8 with tax and include fries and a pop. For example, the #1 I always get is $5.98 with tax and includes a large drink, large fries, and (2) hot dogs with all the trimmings! Poor mans dream! The place is always clean, the waitress / cashier girls are very helpful and there is this really cute short / small girl that is always there. I have to find the courage to say something to her. =/

Poor Boy 2 is #1! If you're ever in the mood for some excellent gyros (like we were tonight knowing January is when people go on diets) then this is THE SPOT! I was a little leery on making this a choice at first, but after reading other yelp reviews, we decided Poor Boy 2 was worth a trip. Let me tell you....POOR BOY 2 WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! Don't get skewed into thinking this little strip of stores won't offer something great. My wife and I made it over to the supposedly "BEST GYROS" (according to the Daily Herald) on Wheaton's N. Main a few months ago . I would love to know who paid DH off for those votes. (those aforementioned gyros are nasty, greeeeezy and OMG I'm going to be up all night!) In my opinion there is NO COMPARISON! Outside of Gemato's in Naperville, Poor Boy 2 has THE BEST GYROS around. Pita griddled to perfection, gyro meat pilled just high enough and topped with nice fresh creamy tzatziki sauce. Lastly, instead of shouting out ready orders to everyone within the fairground area, the guy (chef) was even kind enough to bring out our order to our stools where we waited and thanked us before we left to partake in gluttony in the comfort of our own home. One suggestion I'd like to make (and earn that 5th star) would be to replace their current frozen fries with fresh cut fries. None-the-less, Poor Boy 2 will be seeing us making many return visits.

Decided to check this place out based only on their yelp reviews. I was not disappointed. I had a burger and fry that was nothing short of divine. The cashier girls were pretty cute too which is definitely a plus. Although the dinning area was small, I ate outside on their patio tables and it is quite delightful. After my lunch, I still had enough time to take a pleasant stroll down the prairie path on what seemed to be a picture perfect day. This place is all you could ever want in a little grease joint.

messed up my order all of the 3 times I ordered from here I meen come on people get it together!!! oh and the gyro is nothing special that's for sure...
(1)Pat E.
Smokehouse, on the North Side, is much better. Gyros are the claim to fame.
(3)Josh H.
Great subs. Good place to grab a quick lunch.
(5)Brett F.
Great food served fast.
(5)Fernando C.
Pretty great selection of food. Small dining area.
(4)Vodka Sauce C.
READY.. BEST GYRO IN TOWN ! yes , I said it. Ive had tony steamers , flips and smoke house . and poor boy 2 is the best one !!!! by a long shot ! and i even think its cheaper ! by 5 stars for sure ! they also have good milk shakes
(5)Tracey M.
I've been here a few time and I agree with JM that the food is good. I also agree their seating area could be more, but something tells me a majority of their business is take out. The people there are nice and friendly.

Poor Boy 2 is a restaurant serving Chicago Style Food located in Wheaton off of Roosevelt Road. Inside there are a few tables, some stools and a counter to sit on. A large menu board to the left of the order counter showing all of their menu items, and even a few picnic tables outside the door. First off let me go over the Hot Dog served here. The hot dog they serve is a Red Hot Chicago branded dog served on a soft non-poppy seed bun. To my delight the pickle is thinly cut, they use the right amount of onions, relish, mustard and use sport peppers that are neither too hot or too large which properly compliment the dog itself. The relish used is a little sour, and I don't detect any celery salt. But beyond those few flaws this is a good quality Chicago style hot dog. Where Poor Boy's excels even more is at grilling things, their burgers have nice thin well grilled patties with a nice char flavor to them, their chicken sandwich is good as well. Overall Poor Boy 2 is a quality establishment serving traditional Chicago-Style eats. I recommend it!

This place does not disappoint. Burgers, gyros, hot dogs, beef and fries are top quality. Ribs and tamale a notch below but still very good. Chicken looks good but I have never had it. I have never seen any one order a "Poor Boy" in the 3 years I have been eating there. Cashiers are also top notch.

I came here searching for a pizza puff...but found a large menu filled without one. How do they not have pizza puffs here?!? Even though they didn't have my pizza puff, they offered enough variety that one is bound to hit the spot. Hot dogs, gyros, hamburgers, tamales...oh my! Their meal deals are nicely priced. I had an Italian dog, fries and a drink for $6 and some change. The fries were fresh and perfectly salted *applause* The place was clean and the service was fast.

Went here for the first time after reading these reviews. Really good food. I was surprised. Pepper & Egg sandwich was seasoned well (paprika?). Philly Steak was good too, though it is possible the mushrooms were canned (not sure). I was truly pleased to see that the milkshakes are hand-scooped and blended. It is the attention to detail, seasoning handmade shakes, etc, that sets this little hole in the wall apart from the rest. Going to try the gyros next. Give them a try over the generic chains. Keep the money local & forget about McDonalds, et al.

I like this little hot dog place. The food is ALWAYS good, the service is always prompt. I just wish they had a bigger seating area for inside diners and a public restroom. WAY WAY WAY better than Portillo's, and at a WAY better cost!
