Top Gun Dogs Glenview: The Glen's answer to great Hot Dogs, Gyros and Hamburgers!!

Top Gun Dogs (http://www.topgundogstheglen.com)  is owned by the Lykouretzos family who have established a gold star Glenview/North Shore destination for Hot Dogs, Gyros, Hamburgers and all other goodies in the fast food world.  Their restaurant is very clean and well decorated. They have been in the food business since 1972 and have owned Top Gun Dogs for the last two years. The food is unbelievable. It's tasty, well made, flavorful and there is an abundant variety of items to choose from. The inspiration for their menu comes from the lack of tasty, fresh and well made fast food in "The Glen" which is located in Glenview, Illinois.

Top Gun Dogs has participated in alot of community events and truly understand how important it is to get involved with the people and community surrounding your business.

Their clientele consists of a great cross section of people such as families with kids, senior citizens, business people who want to stop for something quick and yummy and alot of different people from Glenview and the surrounding communities.

Their menu also consists of Philly Chicken, Philly Steak, Italian Beef, Polish Sausage and they offer three different types of salads along with Avgolemeno which is a Greek Egg Lemon Chicken Rice soup. The soup is GREAT!! I've eaten ALOT of avgolemeno and this was really special!!

There are some tentative plans for potential new items on the menu but nothing has been solidified. So keep checking for new additions!!!

Athena, who is the matriarch of the family, wants to give a heartfelt thanks to their loyal and wonderful customers who have continued to patronize their business. The whole family really enjoys each and every single customer and wishes them nothing but the very best for everyone. :)

Their catering menu features very high quality dishes that are made with high quality ingredients and they require 48 hours notice to put an order together for ANY type of occasion.

I had the privilege and pleasure of sampling the  Avgolemeno (Greek Egg Lemon Chicken Rice Soup), a Hot Dog, a Gyros with everything, an order of fries and a piece of Baklava. As I mentioned earlier, the Avgolemeno was absolutely divine. It had the right consistency, balance of eggs and lemon, great chicken and the rice was cooked just right. The Hot Dog had the right snap to it and was moist, flavorful and was enclosed in a great bun with ketchup. I've also had ALOT of Gyros but this wonderful sandwich had an unbelievable blend of an abundant amount of Gyro meat, tomatoes that tasted like they had just been picked out of a garden, Tzaziki and onions on a really delicately cooked pita that was accompanied by a wonderful order of fries that were cooked to absolute perfection. And last but definitely not least, the baklava was made with absolute perfection. It tasted like it came straight from Halsted Street. The phyllo was flaky with the right amount of syrup and the nuts were tender and adorned with the right amount of baklava spices.

Top Gun Dogs (http://www.topgundogstheglen.com) is such a treat for anyone or for the whole family!!!
