BABA'S FAMOUS STEAK & LEMONADE — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

If you’re from Chicago, you already know — Baba’s isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a city staple. And if you’ve never been? Let me put you on game.

From the moment you step up to that counter, the aroma hits you: seasoned steak sizzling on the grill, fresh fries in the fryer, and that unmistakable sweet smell of their legendary slushies. This place is pure comfort food heaven.

Let’s talk about the food — The Philly cheesesteak? Loaded. Juicy. Melt-in-your-mouth steak, grilled onions, gooey cheese, and perfectly toasted bread. It’s got that perfect Chicago twist — bold seasoning, generous portions, and zero shortcuts. The wings? Fire. Crispy on the outside, saucy and tender on the inside. Lemon pepper, buffalo, honey BBQ — whatever your flavor, they hit every time. Fries? Golden, hot, and dusted in that addicting Baba’s seasoning. And don’t even get me started on the slushies. The mango and blue raspberry mix is elite. Cold, sweet, and refreshing — the perfect balance after a savory meal. You haven’t really lived until you’ve had a Baba’s slushie on a hot day.

The service? Quick and respectful. They know it gets busy, but they keep it moving with quality and consistency.

Whether you’re pulling up late night, after a long shift, or just craving something real — Baba’s always delivers. No pretense, just great food, real flavor, and that Chicago energy we love.

10/10. Highly recommended. Baba’s isn’t just food — it’s an...

I use to be the regular customer of this place because I loved the taste and it was halaal alhamdulilah was very convenient because I only eat halaal.... however the people who work here aren't understanding at all so today was my last disappointing visit.....and I know they have a policy of not taking orders on calls........ but I work across the street at a gas station....I go here in my working hours I use to wait everytime it wasn't easy I was given a warning by my boss for the food I like.....and I go here almost every other day so they know me well and I'm new in the neighborhood so what I tried today is order my food on call and pick it up after the time it takes to cook....and the generous lady who I spoke at the restaurant even agreed on call because she remembered me and for my safety... but after 22 mins....when I walked there to pick my food the same lady who I spoke on call told me they neglected my order....I didn't say a word just walked out.....I mean what kind of people does it to a fellow human being for food which I pay for evertime....I feel disappointed and disgusted about the person who is responsible for not delivering my...

Don’t be fooled by how good the photo looks! My husband and I made the mistake of ordering the combo Jerk Philly deal that comes with fries. When I tell you this was the most nastiest, inedible meal we’ve ever had the displeasure to encounter I’m not even exaggerating. The Philly’s are so salty (saltier than the entire Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific put together!) that I thought I was eating diabetes come to life! So salty to the point where it coats your entire mouth and causes you to twist your face up in disgust/disbelief. The toppings were also wrong. Then the fries have the nerve to be soggy, unseasoned, and dry like the desert Moses lead the Israelites through for 40 years. The salt they used on the Philly’s should have been distributed to the fries. The only good thing about this entire order was the lemonade. Whoever is working in the back and saw the chef do this mess and whoever the chef is that cooked this meal both of y’all need to...
