Cross-Rhodes Restaurant  4 Star Rating - Very good

Cross-Rhodes Restaurant is a great little Greek Restaurant in the heart of Evanston. My best friend took me there last time I was in because it was one of the last places left that allowed smoking! I had my favorite Greek foods in the world which were off the appetizer menu.

Spanakopita, Feta Cheese with Pita Bread and then a bowl of Egg Lemon soup. Mmmm.

Really extensive and good menu and great prices.

THE BEST!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

This place is the best! The price is right and the food is definately right! The chicken is juicy and flavorful and so are the burgers. The fries are the best in the world with a greek lemon mixture on top. The gyros is not greasy and is yummy! The feta is excellent as well. Sometimes I get the white rice and mix in the feta. EXCELLENT!! This is a definate don't miss place. Bring the family or go as a couple. The serve ice cold beer and wine. The dessert is excellent as well. I can go on for days on how wonderful the food is. The ambience isn't much but who cares with food like that!

Pros: FOOD, FOOD, FOOD
Cons: no credit cards

My Favorite Burgers 4 Star Rating - Very good

The hamburgers at Cross-Rhodes are the best. They are not huge or terribly fancy, just really good basic fresh ground, hand-formed, charbroiled burgers. I like my burgers rare, and this is one of only a few places I trust enough to do them right. The quality of the beef at Cross-Rhodes is exceptional, and they have the art of burger making down to a science. The rare ones come charred on the outside and deep red on the inside, cooked just enough so they aren't dripping blood. Perfect. I like mine with feta cheese and a glass of Retsina (Greek wine). Even the tomato, onion and dill pickle are good. The only complaint I have is that the mustard is yellow and boring. And don't pass on the greek fries, they are big, crisp wedges drizzled with a lemon-oregano dressing. mmmmm.

Gyr-yee, Gyr-yee, Gyre-yee!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

The "Gyros"....whether as a sandwich or as a platter....is the best anywhere !!! Wonderful and comfortable family atmosphere. Parking may be a problem...but is well worth the trouble.
