Breakfast Menu "Cross-Rhodes Restaurant" Evanston

An Evanston institution. The BEST gyros and Greek fries that I know of. Huge servings. The one thing to know is that Cross-Rhodes is CASH ONLY.

We moved away from the area years ago, but often still come here when we're in town. Good food; low key; reasonable prices; great service. Don't expect fancy. We often order the vegetarian salad, with gyros added. It includes Greek fries, which are delicious, and with the gyros is enough for a meal for two.

This food is TOP NOTCH! CASH ONLY. Bring CASH - their ATM charges $3.50. I've stood in line to order or pick up and have been ignored for a long time because their phone rings off the hook. I ate inside once. Service is great. The atmosphere is a little dated and cold (not temperature but atmosphere). Great deal on wine if you eat in.

My family has been coming to Cross-Rhodes my whole life; it is an Evanston institution. When I moved to DC, I would try to visit the restaurant every time I was home. And when my wife and I started dating, I was so excited to introduce her to this long-time favorite. In addition, the service here is great. The whole team clearly enjoy working there, and do their best to make you feel welcome. Always a friendly face with a good recommendation or a joke or a fun story to share. Cross-Rhodes’ Greek fries (with a lemon vinaigrette) are probably my favorite fried potato. My wife loves avgelemono soup, and this is her favorite in the Chicago area. Great gyros, delicious souvlaki, and lovely tsatsiki. Their red sauce (bbq) is also fantastic. It is cash only, so make sure to grab some green before you go (which you will, because it’s great). There’s a reason the reviews are all so high. Cross-Rhodes isn’t fancy, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a family joint that provides food and service from the heart.

The souvlaki meat (both pork and chicken) were very flavorful and juicy. The Maria fries had lemon sauce and were covered with crumbled feta. Service was quick and efficient. Parking is metered on the street outside. Cash only. There's an ATM next door.

The husband, grandson, and I went to Cross-Rhodes for lunch on a Saturday, arrived a few minutes after the noon hour, a few of the other tables were occupied and as time went on, the place started to fill a bit. Perused the menu for a few minutes, but we all three settled on the 8oz. charburgers w/cheddar cheese and the "greek fries" (which are scrumptious!) I took my lettuce, tomato & onion off and made a salad... 😃 Our server was great! Quick to bring our drinks, friendly & helpful with a question, etc. Food came quickly and everything was really good. >>> This is our second visit, the first being several months ago on a Saturday evening when they were packed (and still had timely service) Also that last time, we also ordered charburgers AND their cucumber salad which was HUGE. And with all the customers that evening, it was quite a lively atmosphere! Cross-Rhodes has a varied menu with lots of choices... both Greek and American fare are served for lunch and dinner. This is a casual, basic storefront restaurant with a friendly staff and well worth trying. Note: cash only, no credit cards.

My wife and I have been eating here for many years. Won't say how authentically Greek it is, but everything from the grill id very, very good. The best hamburger around. Also recommend the Greek fries. Maria fries (with feta). The Taramasalata!

I've been going to Cross-Rhodes with my family since I was small. It's a wonderful place with the best gyros and people who care about their customers! Always friendly staff and delicious food!
