Reviews for Cross-Rhodes Restaurant in Evanston, IL
Try the chicken Greek-style dinner. Cross-Rhodes serves real food that satisfies. Skip the fast food places and go here instead.... You'll be glad that you did. Read more
Souvlaki dinner is flavorful and flamed to perfection. Served on a pitas, on a bed of savory rice, with tomato and onion... garnish, all is ?????! Read more
So many wonderful things to say about Cross Rhodes. Where should I begin? The yummy zesty Greek fries, don't forget to turn them... into Maria fries with the Greek feta on top. The Greek chicken is to die for and let's not forget about the homemade egg lemonsoup which definitely has to be a family recipe! The staff is at another level. I have never felt more welcomed and warm than atthis cozy diner! Everyone is very welcoming, attentive and smiling. The servers, cooks and owner are always talking to customersand giving top notch service! Best spot in Evanston if not in the entire Chicago land area!! Read more
It's an Evanston staple for a reason. Born and raised in Evanston my parents introduced me to this restaurant when I was a... child. I'm 30 years old now and my goodness is it still delicious. I love there egg lemon soup, the gyro is sliced thin andportioned oh so generously. There is no restaurant in the area that can compete with their Greek fries. Their Greek stylechicken has the right amount of crispy texture, and holds the delicious juicy flavor inside for you to enjoy. I did not get thewaitresses name but I've seen here there for quite some time, she is very friendly, attentive and caring. A restauraunt or anyestablishment is nothing without great people like her. Sincerely a happy, fed and satisfied customer. Read more
My sister lives near Evanston and whenever I visit I DEMAND my CrossRhodes chicken (with steak fries, doused with vinegar) and... lemon soup. It?s a highlight of my trip every time! (Could you please open in NJ? You?d do great here!!) Read more
One of my favorite places since childhood. The egg lemon soup is one of my favorite things on the planet, that?s a must try. The... gyros or feta char burger is also great, as are the Greek fries Read more
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. Read more
The positives are that the staff was very friendly and the Minestrone soup was good. However, a restaurant should be judged by... the entrees and the the moussaka we ordered, was the worst moussaka I've ever had. When I called to place the order, they toldme that the moussaka was premade. I assumed it means that it was made that morning, unfortunately this was not the case. Itlooked at least 3 days old and tasted like it. In addition to not being fresh, it was also ridiculously bland. If I was chargedfast food prices, I would have given an extra star because you get what you paid for. Considering that this is Evanston andChicago is a short trek away, you will have considerably better options than this one. Read more
