"Hub's on 5540 N. Lincoln Ave. in Chicago.
Don't dismiss this place as just another greasy grub joint; they've been serving up made-to-order Greek dishes, ribs and, yes, burgers, cheese fries and the like, too, to a steady stream of patient customers since 1976. Standouts include grilled skirt steak on garlic bread, freshly made soups and a gyros platter that could hold its own in Greektown. But if you're feeling the need to be healthy, hefty salads like the grilled chicken on a bed of bright greens won't seem like a sacrifice. Lunch, dinner. Serving after 10pm. Average main course: $7.50."

"Serving up fast-food American and Greek fare, Hub's is a Lincoln Square institution. The inspiration for those oft-imitated 'You like-a da juice?' sketches on Saturday Night Live during the '90s, Hub's is one of those places where food is called by number, orders come out lightning-fast and the food is served cheap, until the wee hours."

"Eatin' cheap at Hub's.
If you 'like-a da juice, eh?' then you might want to check out Hub's in Lincoln Square. It's serving up Greek and American eats and find out about its SNL connection.
You like-a the juice, eh? Metromix's Pogo sure does as he checks out Hub's in Lincoln Square, near the Budlong Woods area - where Greek food meets American all for one low price."

"Crazy For Condiments: 5 Restaurant Sauces You Have to Try
By Monica Eng
Chicago has experienced a wave of upscale, innovative house-made condiments, but some of our favorites come from humbler spots with deep cultural roots. Here are five favorite house-made condiments. They reflect my love of garlic, robust chiles and pungent flavors, which may not please every palate.
HUB'S tzatziki sauce
5540 N. Lincoln Ave.; 773-784-4228, hubsrestaurant.com
Served with: Gyros and skewered meats.
But try it with ... Fries, a burger, "some customers even eat it with a spoon, they love it so much," says owner John Thanoukos.
Takeaway: 40 cents for a 4-ounce tub.
After swooning over this thick creamy cucumber sauce for years, I was shocked to learn it was made not with rich Greek sheep yogurt but sour cream-along with chopped cucumber, fresh garlic, vinegar, olive oil and lemon juice. Still, I love the way it acts as a cool, tangy foil to the rich, spicy slices of gyros. It's also great for dipping with fries and as an accompaniment to veggies and bread."
