We had an amazing experience at Ali’s Broast and Burgers! The owners were super nice and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They went above and beyond by making our Philly steak extra cheesy—absolutely delicious! The zinger burger was perfectly crispy and flavorful as well. Great food, great service, and a great vibe overall. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re craving quality food with a personal touch!

Came in around midnight and tried this place for the first time. I got the grilled chicken rice bowl and it was delicious - it had that real authentic taste. The flavor on the mango habanero wings were amazing, sweat and not too spicy. I will be coming back to try the Philly cheese steak.

I love this place. Been going here for 2 and a half years now. My favorite go to spot to cheat on my diet. I always get the 8 piece whole wings and fries with a lot of lemon pepper always a 10 out of 10. I did try other things like the shawarma plate and chicken strips (both 5 out of 10) room for improvement. The burgers are 9 out of 10 great combination of flavors, note I tried the warrior burger and bacon cheeseburger. Today I tried the Philly beef cheese steak sandwich and OMG melt in your mouth gooey goodness definitely a 10 out of 10. They accomodated me on my mushroom allergy, so thankful for that. My only regret is that wish I tried it sooner. The staff at Ali's Broast and Burgers are all super friendly and fast. And the smells are free!!!! It smells and tastes like they change their grease often and the place is always clean. Ali's Broast and Burgers is a million times better than tasty sub on Damen which I only went to once and could tell they don't change their grease. Never again tasty sub. I walked 2 blocks or so further to Ridge blvd and Ali's broast was a game changer from day one. Going to try their fish next. Will update. But overall 10 out of 10 definitely recommend again and again.

Every time I order from here and I walk in to get my food they treat me like shit. I tell them I had an order for pickup that I placed online. They say show me the uber eats order or something similar and I continuously explain that I am picking up for myself and then they tell me to wait as they need to confirm as my food sits there getting cold. I’ve ordered from here a dozen times and it’s the same thing every time. As others have said they serve people who have just walked in and placed an order in store - I placed my order 15- 20 minutes prior.

I found my new favorite chicken place. I wish they would start adding tamper-proof delivery bags, since I've ordered through delivery services a couple of times now. I still have to try dining in, but it looks like a great place!

Ordered through a delivery app. The chicken was juicy and crunchy. However had no seasoning. Reasonable price and came with fries and ketchup.

I usually don’t like to give negative reviews but it was too bad. Served food in take out boxes for dine in. The tomato sauce was expired. The food was dry and terrible. Their “Special” fries were just unbalanced with all different sauces. Will never visit again!

Came by late after a night at the city. Place is very clean. Menu has plenty of selections. Ordered the Warrior burger and the food came pretty quickly. The burger had fresh ingredients and not greasy at all. The staff was very nice and friendly as well. Would return to try other menu options.

I was looking for a big nasty burger and got one at Ali's. Not very flavorful. I didn't know that they put Secret Sauce aka Thousand Island on it which is a no-no for me. This is the Midwest not California. It was actually a cheeseburger with bacon. I thought these guys were Halal. It might taste better but the dressing covered a lot of the flavor. You have to ask for extra napkins too They have a sink out in the lobby, where you can wash your hands afterwards....because you're gonna need to. Soap, but no towels. There is a lot of other stuff on the menu , like broasted chicken and wraps and the next time I'm there I might have some of that. But I can't recommend this place for burgers .

Came here due to Yelp reviews. The fried chicken is moist and crispy. A barely battered chicken. It's very moist. So met my basic test. No special seasoning. So if you are looking for spice you have to add it yourself. I wanted the wings only and got wings and fries. The wings are tiny. the order is mainly fries. Who wants to pay $6.99 for fries. What a waste. The fries are moderately thick but crisps up nicely in the oven. The onion rings have no flavor. I couldn't find any onion. Almost all batter.

Stopped by Ali's Broast & Burgers with my 6-year-old while killing time in the neighborhood, and I'm so glad we did! We ordered the Gyro Lunch Special, and it was absolutely delicious--the gyro itself was amazing, but what really stood out were the fries. Too often, fries feel like an afterthought with gyros, but these were next-level! My only "regret" was spotting the 803 Burger (a chicken and burger combination) on the menu after ordering--guess I'll just have to come back and try it next time. Highly recommend!

This is a great neighborhood spot, the food is amazing and is ready in a timely manner. I like how they always show you the food before closing the container, making sure to add any extra seasonings and ensuring your order is correct. I recommend the nachos, gyro, Philly steak and their wings. All good choices and you won't be disappointed!

Quick service with good food. The spicy gyro was fresh crisp and yes spicy. French fries were hot crisp and definitely cooked in clean oil. Parking can be a challenge.

Great food! Tried the Jim Shoe Sandwich for the first time. Great taste and value the full sandwich is probably three meals.

Food hearty - service outstanding There are only 4 booths in this tiny fast food restaurants. Two of us ate lunch (burgers, crispy fries and a diet Pepsi) there on May 4, 2024, for under $26 The place is spotless and there is limited free parking just outside. If in the neighborhood, we would eat there again.

Being fans of of broasted chicken, we stopped by this new place on Howard Street and Ridge to check it out. The chicken was made fresh while we waited along with some onion rings and mushrooms. I suggest to order ahead to save a few minutes. The flavor of the chicken was tasty and had a nice crunch for being broasted. The onion rings must have been made with sweet onions, so good! The mushrooms were nice, not a heavy batter. They have a pretty good menu that I'm sure I'll with my way through. I highly recommend this place, you don't be disappointed!

The food is good. Their fried fish is delicious and fairly priced for the good portions. Service is good. Have tables to sit. Parking can be tricky though.

For burgers: Buffalo Joe is better than Bills. Bills is better than Ali's. Also has the biggest, but least appetizing burger. Gyros were ok. Fries were ok.

Start off, I drove up with my dog in the car, placed order and asked if they can call me when done, because my dog is in the car. Even better, we'll bring it out to you. Then....here's 5 lbs of turkey bacon, it was wrong order, can't replace it.....for your dog!!!! Then....the food is pretty goshdarn amazing! So good! Took a sample Bite from pup's plain hamburger....and it was sooooo good....I rook another bite, of a plain hamburger! Yum! Check em out! Oh, and I got Philly cheesesteak.....better than you know who! Delicious food, outstanding service. Go, keep this place in the biz!!!!!!

Although I had to wait awhile for someone to take my order the chicken was delicious it seemed like it had a little spice to it but it wasn't overpowering. It was fine. The boasted chicken comes with fries and a drink. I would definitely return.

This place has the worst service I have ever seen. I ordered food and when the delivery guy got to my address he never called me to notify me that he was here. Instead he left my food on the ground outside in the cold so when I got to eat my food it was cold and in appetizing and when I call to let the restaurant know what happens the person who answered the phone could care less if I got my food or not. I will never order from them ever again. This place does not deserve my business !!

Great fresh food and great service! Clean establishment and no complaints outside of the prices. The prices are a me problem though. I understand the rising costs of supplies and ingredients and that the business needs to make a profit. You're getting your money's worth though!

I got the dynamite burger. It was delicious but I couldn't help thinking that the patty was on the small side for the price. On my second time I decided to get a double; I was so full by the end that I could barely finish. At the cost of 8 for one and 12 for double I wish they could've just made a single patty that was just a wee bigger. Move from a 115g Patty to 130g Patty would be perfect I think. Regardless I highly recommend this eatery. Clean and friendly.

The hamburgers and fish sandwiches we had at Ali's were really delicious. I'd gladly drive 30 minutes--again-- to get another! But the best thing about Ali's was the two terrific men who work there. We had a newly-arrived refugee family with us for their first American restaurant meal...and Ali (I assume) was so kind, generous, and welcoming of them that he touched all our hearts. Let's support small businesses owned by people like this!

The steak in the "cheese steak" was probably good, but slathered in mayonnaise lettuce and tomato, not a cheese steak. Hot slimy lettuce covered in Mayo with hot tomatoes.

Honestly, I tried to give this place a fair shot. I stopped in between appointments at St. Francis. I ordered a gyro combo. The gyro was simple but the meat was tender and flavorful. Ultimately, the fries were fresh and tasty, but when I asked for ketchup, the guy at the register straight up drizzled it all over the fries (customers after me all seemed to know better and asked for sauces on the side). He offered to make new ones but that seemed wasteful. Mostly I was annoyed that the cold ketchup was now all over my fries, making them messy to eat. The gyro had a healthy amount of tzatziki, but without a fork or enough napkins, my hands were covered in sauces. They do have a sink for public use, but there's no paper towels. I understand that food and packaging aren't cheap, but keeping all of the condiments behind the counter for the guy to distribute as he sees fit makes me uncomfortable. What if I'm taking it to go and I don't want my fries to be all soggy when I get home? When I went up to ask for hot sauce, he gestured toward my food. I asked for a side instead. He seemed confused even tho he didn't bat an eye at the customers after me who asked for the same thing. Plus I find it hard to believe that cost is the reason they are skimping like this when he so quickly offered to replace the fries he covered in ketchup. Why not trust me to use the ketchup myself, or provide individually packaged sauces? I'm all for minimizing waste, but there's ways to do that that don't make the customer feel like they are imposing. And why not at least provide a napkin dispenser? Keep it up by the register so customers feel less inclined to take too many. Make it so my last bite isn't immediately followed by the feeling of, ugh what a mess. End on a high note, y'know? But I'm giving it four stars because the food is decent, and I don't like the idea of dragging down their overall rating over things that are easily fixable.

The place is clean, pleasant, well lit, and inexpensive. Food selections are delicious for eating in or take out. Staff is pleasant and helpful. This spot has a few booths to eat in; we had a gyros dinner, the portion easily was enough for both of us. Small parking lot in front of the strip mall. Would recommend for a quick meal or takeout.

This is a great zabiha halal place with a lot of fast food options. Service is quick and friendly, and the food is awesome! I've tried the Philly cheesesteak many times and would highly recommend it, just ask for no lettuce or tomatoes imo. Fries are nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, be sure to ask for masala and salt for extra flavor. They also have a variety of cheeseburgers each of which has its own unique flavors so repeat visits can you trying something new just with that part of the menu alone till you find a favorite. Definitely a great fast food place and a local business to support.

Very clean and fresh. Everything was prepared fresh for us. The gyro loaded fries were delicious - just ask for some chili sauce and extra white sauce to top it off. The zinger burger and broast were crispy and tasty. I only wish they offered a version made with chicken breast. The dynamite burger was decent, but I think their chicken and gyro were better. Staff was respectful, courteous, and very helpful. Small eat-in area with a couple of booths. We enjoyed our food there for maximum freshness. Seems like a nice little family business. We will be back when we are in the area.

Stopped Ali's and ordered the broasted chicken, mushrooms and onions rings. They were all yummy. The chicken itself was moist and flavorful and also had a nice crunch. Will definitely be back to try the other menu items.

This place has a clean surrounding. They have a chair to sit when you are waiting to your order and also wait for your turn to make an order. The only problem is you will wait long until it's your turn. I ordered a chicken and I don't like t. he chicken was not juicy inside since its deep fried chicken. I thought its juicy. But the best thing in here was its flavor and also the crunchiness of the skin. It's perfect if you pair it with some beer and tequila. The staff seemed nice and friendly. They will greet you first before you told them your order and I'm happy feeling that thy have a nice service.

This place is fire. Soooo good. I ordered the chicken pita and it did not disappoint. You can tell the owner and workers care about their product. Always super friendly when I stop in the few times I have. Quick service but even better food. If you are in Evanston or passing through, definitely check this place out.

New and must try. I got the zinger burger which was delicious. Not greasy. Quality meats. Not like fast food chains where you find ligaments or other strange thing in your food. The place is very clean which makes me feel very comfortable eating out during this pandemic. Can't wait to try their wings!
