    I decided to upgrade based solely on food flavor. My other statements still hold true. HOWEVER, there is now another Poor Boy about a mile west on the same road and the atmosphere does feel nicer. They also carry deli sandwiches.

    This is NOT a southern joint, like the name might imply......it's good old american burgers, some southern-style dishes, and such. It's affordable junk food that will tingle your palate and irritate your arteries.....but hey, those are the best joints, right?

    This place is nothing short of awesome. They have the best gyro in town hands down. Huge menu of good field food. Never had a bad meal here.

    Barely edible standard burger and Gyros joint. Nothing hand made. Everything frozen pre-breaded GFS onion rings and chicken. Pork tenderloin sandwich was precooked and reheated to a dry, hard shingle. Sauces all from a supplier. I could dcook the fries at home better myself. Total waste of cash. Go to Janekies instead. At least there the pre breaded pork tenderloin is cooked with some skill.

    Gyros are the best in town and the bbq fries are great! They have updated the restaurant and it's clean.

    I agree with other reviewers on here, the Gyro's are some of the best. Their Tzatziki (that's the cucumber dressing) is above average and the portions are large. For me, it's usually two meals which makes me feel like I'm getting a better value. The milkshakes are good and many of the other sandwiches that I've tried are good also. Lately, I seem to be on a wrap kick when I go there. The Chicken BLT and Mediterranean Chicken wraps are great! For around $6 you get a tasty, large wrap that with fries or another side, is usually enough for two meals. Again, good value. (notice a recurring theme here?) Even though I usually get the wrap, my partner almost always gets the Gyro platter so I can bogart some of that yummy Gyro meat while having my "healthier selection". It's also a popular place for local law enforcement. Hey, if you want good food at good prices, just go where the truckers/cops go. So if you have outstanding warrants or are looking to rob a fast food restaurant, don't go there. LOL

    It's probably gonna sound rude to say this, but I don't care...Poor Boy is the only reason I agree to make the trip from Minneapolis to Corn and Cows, Illinois to visit my boyfriend's family. When we get to Cabery (if you've never heard of it, don't worry. I hadn't heard of it either until I started dating someone from that godforsaken place.) I instantly start in with..."so when are we going to Poor Boys?" because all I'm after on the trip is that damn gyro platter, fried mushrooms, fried pickles, and french fries. If we're in Illinois for a week we'll hit up Poor Boys drive-thru 3-4 times in that 7 days and I don't even feel bad about it. Yes, the food is greasy and it is pretty much fast food...but it tastes so fucking good. It is worth every moment of white guilt I feel after my stomach is full of deep fried awesomeness. I want to start a petition to make these people build a franchise in Minnesota. Ugh. Those gyros though. Mmmm.

    Grilled chicken pita was standard, so was the chicken sandwich. But that's it, standard or less. Also ordered a cheese burger, seemingly frozen burger patties, think burger king but worse? Even their onion rings are like burger kings... But worse. The fried zucchini earns an extra star, that was definitely tasty. Free refills on dine in! French fries were like McDonald's... But worse... Overall mediocre fast food place, filled with people behind the counter that complain about their job. I might go back for the gyros, but that's if I'm ever around again. Oh, also the environ is great, two people were getting arrested as we were dining in.

    Not only is Poor Boy the home of the greasiest food in town, they are now carrying a huge variety of salads. At first glance these salads seem pricey (most are $7), they're worth the price. I've tried the Southwest and the Asian salads. They were both big enough to split and full of grilled chicken. Of the two, I preferred the Asian salad because the terriyaki dressing was finger licking good. I still love their greasy food when I'm in that mood, but their salads mean that I'll be here much more frequently now.

    I ordered the gyro plate - - - it was enough food for two people, but as gyros go, the meat could have been better. After tasting my wife's Polish sausage (I think they called it a Maxwell Special), I realized I ordered the wrong entree. It was a GREAT tasting sausage.

    Really friendly people! Food/salads are fresh. Portions are enormous! Food tasted great. Easy access to the freeway - so we stopped by both ways on a road trip from Texas to Michigan (and back). Also nice little park or grassy area across the street so we could walk our dog.

    As others have mentioned, if you're in the mood for greasy food, this is the place to be in K3. I became a vegetarian a few years ago, but I still go back to Poor Boy's when I'm in town for the BBQ fries and fried pickles. So yum.

    Greasy food in a greasy atmosphere. This place has the huge menu on the wall of Italian beef, hot dogs, gyros, sausage, etc. Even chicken gizzards, all fried in oil. Nuf' said.
