Master Critic Review

Plush Pup 7.7
O'Hare Airport
A retro Chicago counter-serve staple that doubles as a Greek-leaning grill when you order into the gyro and kabob lanes. It’s best used as a quick, hearty meal stop near the Cumberland corridor—simple plates and pita builds deliver the most consistent payoff.
Must-Try Dishes: Gyro Sandwich, Chicken Kabob Plate, Greek Potatoes
