About Chuck Wagon - Wilmette
Chuck Wagon redesigns American classics with one simple ingredient: slices of succulent gyro, straight from the spit. Chefs pile slices of it atop grilled cheese sandwiches and the eatery’s standout cheeseburger, the Niki, which The Winnetka Current lauded as “a big reason Chuck Wagon has a legendary status around the North Shore.” The chefs also cook prime ground beef burgers, the Waitress Special (grilled cheese with gyro meat on top), hot dogs, and chicken strips, which diners savor at bar stools inside the cozy eatery. Nearly every inch of wall space is filled with photographs that the owner takes himself, and a large gumball machine both adds a sweet ending to quick meals and solidifies the eatery’s antique edge.
