Mr D's Shish-Kabobs

Super GemMontclare · American/Middle Eastern Community-sourced, unverified
📍 6656 W Diversey Ave, Chicago, IL 60707

Mike and Ann Antonopoulos opened this Montclare storefront in the late 1960s, and it's stayed genuinely in the family since — their son John has helped run it for decades, serving what Vienna Beef's own profile calls four generations of repeat customers.

$$
The steak sandwich with hand-cut fries has been the order at this husband-and-wife counter for over 40 years, cash only, cooked to order every time.

Vienna Beef inducted Mr D's into its Hot Dog Hall of Fame in 2016, and the restaurant was featured on one of the very first episodes of WGN's Chicago's Best, well before the segment became a local institution of its own. Time Out's reviewer actually prefers the steak sandwich over the namesake shish kebab — thin, marinated ribeye on a French roll with onions and tomatoes — with fries cut fresh for every order rather than held frozen.

Closed Sundays.
