If you’re looking for a Des Plaines restaurant where everyone can find something they’re craving, Charcoal Delights at 1090 E. Oakton Street in Des Plaines deserves a spot on your list.

From burgers and gyros to Italian beef, Broasted Chicken, hot dogs, grilled cheese, homemade soup and dessert, Charcoal Delights offers the kind of diverse menu that works whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, grabbing dinner for the family or ordering your favorites to enjoy at home.

Start With a Bowl of Homemade Soup

Sometimes nothing hits the spot like a warm bowl of Homemade Soup.

Available in both small and large sizes, it can be enjoyed as a starter before your meal or as a comforting option when you want something simple and satisfying. Pair a bowl with one of Charcoal Delights’ sandwiches for an easy lunch or dinner combination.

Gyros Sandwich with Fries -Craving a Chicago-area favorite? Try the Gyros Sandwich with Fries.

Tender slices of seasoned gyro meat are topped with fresh tomatoes and onions and finished with creamy tzatziki sauce, all wrapped inside soft pita bread. Add a side of fries and you have a filling meal with plenty of savory Greek-inspired flavor.

Gyros are also among the restaurant’s popular online ordering selections.

Broasted Chicken Dinner - Chicken lovers should check out the 2 Breast Broasted Chicken Dinner with Fries.

This meal comes with two pieces of white-meat chicken, French fries, coleslaw and a biscuit. It’s a classic comfort-food dinner with the crispy chicken and traditional sides many people want when they’re looking for a hearty meal.

Two Cheeseburgers for Two Different Appetites

Charcoal Delights gives burger fans several choices, including options for both smaller and bigger appetites.

The 1/4 Cheeseburger Sandwich with Fries starts with a quarter-pound burger and your choice of cheese, served alongside French fries. It’s a classic burger-and-fries combination that makes an easy lunch or dinner.

Feeling hungrier? Step up to the 1/2 Lb. Cheeseburger Sandwich.

This half-pound burger can be customized with your choice of American, Swiss, Cheddar or Mozzarella cheese. You can also select how you want your burger cooked, from rare and medium rare through medium, medium well and well done, then personalize it further with your choice of sauces and vegetables.

The half-pound burger is one of the featured items highlighted on the Charcoal Delights website.

Keep It Classic With the Grilled Cheese Special

Sometimes simple is exactly what you want.

The Grilled Cheese Special lets you choose your preferred bread and cheese for one of America’s favorite comfort-food sandwiches. The special also includes a drink, making it an easy choice when you’re in the mood for something familiar.

It can also be a great option for families ordering together when one person wants a burger or Italian beef while someone else prefers to keep things simple.

Italian Beef Special

It wouldn’t be a Chicagoland menu without Italian beef.

The Italian Beef Special features tender Italian beef with your choice of plain, sweet peppers or hot peppers. Pair your sandwich with one of the available drinks, including soda, lemonade, root beer or a shake.

Charcoal Delights also highlights Italian Beef as one of its featured menu items.

Whether you like your beef straightforward or loaded with peppers, this is another classic local favorite worth considering on your next visit.

Italian Sausage Hot Dog

Another option for sausage fans is the Italian Sausage Hot Dog.

Choose whether you want it prepared dipped or dry, then order it plain or add sweet peppers or hot peppers. It’s a simple, customizable option for anyone craving Italian sausage without needing a complicated meal.

Save Room for Baklava

Don’t forget dessert.

Finish your visit with Baklava, made with layers of flaky pastry filled with finely chopped nuts and sweetened with honey syrup.

The crisp pastry, nutty filling and sweetness make it a great ending after a savory burger, gyro, Italian beef or chicken dinner.

Something for Almost Every Craving in Des Plaines

One of the best things about Charcoal Delights is the variety.

One person can order a Gyros Sandwich, another can dig into Broasted Chicken, someone else can grab a half-pound cheeseburger, and another person can satisfy their Chicago-food craving with Italian beef or sausage.

That makes Charcoal Delights a convenient option for families, coworkers and groups who don’t necessarily agree on what they want for lunch or dinner.

Charcoal Delights also offers online ordering and currently lists delivery through Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub, making it possible to enjoy many of its menu favorites without leaving home.
