The Baba's Way
Piled High. Made Fresh.
Baba's is where the South Side comes to eat generous. Every Philly steak hits the griddle to order, every Italian beef is dipped in real Italian juice, and every gyro is carved off the spit - served with a mountain of thick-cut fries and a famous lemonade slush on the side. Bold flavor, honest portions, and prices that make sense. From State Street to Gary, we're feeding neighborhoods one legendary sandwich at a time.

Word on the Street
What Chicago's Saying
Best gyro I have ever had, the bread was soft and fresh, meat full of flavor and wasn't dry like other places. 2 for 1 deal makes it a perfect affordable portion for a couple.
