Hands down best burger I've had in a long time! Fresh, hand made, and put together awesome! My father had the polish and it was fantastic! Oh and homemade shakes to die for.

Just moved to the area and wondered if I'd be able to find a place for a good Italian beef. Stopped in here, and had the beef with sweet and hot peppers. It was delicious. I wondered if it could compare to Portillos and honestly, this beef was better. The owner was very nice. The fries were just okay, reason for 4 stars instead of 5, but I plan to go back there again and try the hot dogs and burgers. Highly recommend.

Staff was nice that's why there's the one star but I got the Ribeye steak sandwich it was really dry and chewy no taste what so ever , fries were greasy and soggy don't think I would come back but everyone deserves a 2nd chance so I might give heffys a try again.

Was house sitting near here over the summer, and ordered a handful of times.... Didn't branch out much in our order, but $1 dog days, (over the summer I believe it was Monday's) was a hard Combo to beat with the cheese fries. Online ordering was hit or miss, but mostly got the job done. Staff seemed interested in taking care of you. Overall an enjoyable experience with very reasonable prices.

Heffy's, while on the expensive side, is simply delicious. I highly recommend the Gyros, very good. They do have a pretty vast menu. I wouldn't say it's the nicest place in the world but hey, it's Heffy's not the Ritz Carlton!

A typical "greasy" hot dog and hamburger joint in the Chicago tradition. I wouldn't be surprised if a rat poked his head out from behind the cabinets or if a roach said hi to me as he crawled up from under the table. This is a place where there are grease spots on the cooks T shirts and the cashier has a four day beard. Yea, the food is greasy, the tables are a bit rickety and you'll never see this joint on Check Please! But they do an OK job with hot dogs, burgers and italian beefs. The gyros don't excite me for some reason. Fries are pretty good, they are the thin cut shoestring variety. If you want to get a hot lunch for six bucks or less and not have to wait a long time for it, this place will suit you just fine.

Today was my first time here. So I wanted to get the Gyro combo meal but it was $8 so I was like uh no, I'll just get the sandwich. Glad I DIDN'T get fries! This was by far the largest gyro (most meat) I have ever had! Usually when I get gyros, the sandwich is never quite enough but usually getting fries with it is a little TOO much. Not in this case, I couldn't even FORCE myself to eat the rest I was so stuffed! By the way, they have a special right now: Cheeseburger, fries and drink 3.99..awesome deal! The cashier was super friendly as well...gave me a coupon for a chicken pita meal and a coupon for $1 off any purchase of $5 or more. I will for sure go here instead of JK's when I get my 'hotdog stand' craving again!

Wow- I'm shocked at the really negative reviews. Let's get real. This is a casual place to get a great hot dog or burger.-not a 5 star gourmet restaurant. Heffy's is a family run place- a comfortable spot to bring the gang for a quick bite. Here's an example: I was here with my sisters and my little nieces and nephews (ages 4-7) on Sunday. We popped in after seeing 'High School Musical 3' at the Randhurst Cinema. The kids were a bit unruly after sitting for almost two hours through a REALLY (REALLY) long movie. (I secretly feared that we might get thrown out) But the owner couldn't be nicer. The kids were fascinated with the various gum ball machines and then enjoyed their "all white meat" chicken nuggets kid meals. The adults had no complaints about the dogs and fries. They have specials every day- including ribs that are rumored to be awesome. We'll be back!

I love this place! I work as an IT contractor in Chicago and live in Madison, and I go out of my way to stop here on the way back to Wisconsin almost every week. The place seems clean enough, the dogs and fries are great and the staff is super nice. I like supporting Mom&Pop establishments and this one is worth visiting.

One of the best beef's in the Northwest suburbs. Get it with sweet peppers. One of the hardest working restaurant owners in the area. Great little hot dog stand! Also try the chicken pita. Off the chain!

This is a typical Chicago hot dog / gyros shop (in a good way). It is not super fancy but it shouldn't be. The employees here are very friendly. My fiancee and I both had the gyros with fries. The fries were hot and crispy. They gyro was delicious. Warm flavorful pita with delicious, juicy meat. Plus free refills!

Heffy's has a pretty good menu and the owner is as polite as can be. He has given discounts for a good sized order and given away free food when th order has been wrong. Heffy's is a hot dog stand, not a 4-Star, linen table cloth bistro. Yes, the cooks probably did have grease spots on their apron. Want to know why, because they work around grease. Take a look in any kitchen, including the world famous eateries and I bet you they have spots on their aprons & uniforms as well. As far as getting food poisoning let me point out that any 1st year med student knows that it takes a few days for the symptoms of food poisoning to appear.

Stopped here because I was starving and glad I did. Great big tasty gyro. Owner had his kid there, it was summer, and was recommending lunch for him. Nice family owned feel. Gyro really had the meat heaped on. I am not a small guy and usually eat 2 gyros if not getting fries. Not here, one did it for me.Izzy must have been at another restaurant. This food sat on my stomach like, uh, a delicious gyro.

Best Italian Beef in Chicago area. There, I said it. I lived in the area for over 10 years and went to Heffys all the time. Anytime I go back to visit I make it a point to stop by for the Italian Beef. I've had Als, Mr. Beef, Portillos, Jays, Johnnys, and a whole lot more places and I like Heffy's Italian Beef the best. (#2 would be Johnnys in Elmwood Park) Burgers and dogs are good too. This a hot dog joint, not fine dining. Great food in the genre.

This place has some really good food, great service (John is the man, always takes care of me and asks how me and my family are doing) and they are quick. I only make it to Heffy's once a month at best because of my schedule but when I do get there I always get a Italian Beef, can not go wrong with it. Its right up their with the best in Chicago. Plus the Fries are really good

Best new homemade burger I have ever had. Great Chicago style hot dog stand with just amazing food. Chicken pita best in town. Not a piece of fat on it. Gyros fresh off the spit, fall of the bone ribs and more Prices more than reasonable for the quality. Workers nice and owner is a big teddy bear that knows everyone by name and most of the time greets them with a hug or a handshake. Great food great price great service. How business used to be. Lots of crummy choices like photos and chick filet but if you want good food in Mount Prospect go to HEFFYS.

Who doesn't want to support their hood? Heffy's is a local joint with great fast food. Grilled Chicken pitas are fantastic- Heffy's has the most delicious grilled chicken! I also highly recommend the Grecian Salad with Gyro meat and grilled chicken. French fries are delish too! The owner Johnny knows his customers by name and serves the food with a smile. Try it out, you won't be disappointed!

I asked the guy how were the ribs, he tells me they are falling of the bone. Worst dried out ribs ive ever had. The mayo in the cole slaw was rancid as well. I just felt lied to about the ribs. The cole slaw was forgivable but the ribs were an outright lying sales tactic

Tried Heffy's for the first time. Had the Italian Beef sandwich and the cheese fries. Both were delicious. The Italian Beef was tender and juicy with great flavor. The hot peppers added a nice touch of heat. The fries were covered with a tasty, gooey cheese. They were completely covered, even down to the last french fry. They are very friendly here. Looking forward to a return visit.

I consider this a hidden gem this far out in the suburbs. Truly a great establishment serving up fresh, to-order burgers, dogs, and so much more. The staff is friendly and very clearly interested in making good food and providing the customer with a great experience while being quick and efficient. I have had too many things to count off of the menu - the hot dogs are so yummy, gyros are delicious. Hands down, the most amazing Cajun curly fries (with cheese!). If I drowned in a vat of these, I would die happy. The cheeseburgers are phenomenal - you can taste the good quality of the ingredients and the crispiness on the patties from the flat top.
