Absolutely phenomenal spot. Located right on Roosevelt by downtown Wheaton. Easy access from Roosevelt or prairie path. Menu is a wide assortment of classic subs and Chicago favorites. Italian beef, Italian sausage, hot dogs, polish, burgers, meatball subs. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing. Fries are the finest in the area. Coke products. Super friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Hard to top this spot.

This is a perfect place to go for a humble hot dog or beef sandwich. They have our favorite gyros as well. It is not fancy. It is not expensive. It is like ordering from a hotdog stand in a park. They have some nice beverages to choose from like cantaloupe, pineapple, amd horchata..as well as a full soda fountain. It is also right off the prairie path sometimes the fam stops in on walks.

Rumor has it that the ribs sandwiches are the best in the world?‍♂️ so I'm so looking forward to trying that and also loving that this place is reasonably priced❤ I love little cozy places like this so I'm so happy I came across this on Google Maps so I think you just found a loyal customer!!! Update for 2022!! Stopped in and prices are still great the staff is still friendly and I noticed a lot of people placing big catering orders?????

Great food at great prices. Super friendly staff. Highly recommended! Love this place!

Food was okay. Got the Gyro combo. I’ve had better gyros, it didn’t have that taste I’m used having a gyro. Like the meat was missing something.

Very friendly staff, great food, great prices. They always get your order correct.

Great food, great service..I love the unlimited refill drinks.I love the natural flavor waters they have

Everything was fresh from the fries to the ribeye sandwich. It was really good.

I have enjoyed food from this place for many years even after I have moved about 40 minutes away I stop in when I get a chance. Always good food. I have to say that this past visit I did not like the change of fries they have now. So sad.

Poor Boy 2 is more than the sum of its parts. The service has always been polite, fast, helpful and friendly, the place is clean, the food is consistently above average, and considering that there's a little Mexican, a little Greek, a little Italian, a lot of Chicago, they seem to do it all really well. There's enough items ranging from quick fry foods to satisfy most picky kids, to whole chickens and rib-eye dinners. From the outside it doesn't look overtly special, but being better than average in every aspect puts them well over the top for a take-out or eat-in restaurant. Fries are fantastic!
