Locally and family owned since 1984, Cross-Rhodes was the dream of Chicago entrepreneur, Jeff Russell. Jeff's goal was to share his love of Greece and its culinary treasures with Evanston and the Chicago area. His secret was simple: combine authentic recipes with genuine service in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Cross~Rhodes was born and has become a favorite restaurant for families throughout Evanston, Chicago, and the North Shore for more than 35 years. The menu features authentic Greek dishes, including lamb chops, gyros, souvlaki, mousaka, pastitsio, Greek-styled chicken, feta and olives, greek salads, pita sandwiches and much more.

History
Report
The inspiration for CROSS-RHODES came just two years prior when, on a vacation in the small town of Avia in the Southern Peloponnese of Greece, Jeff met his future wife, Georgia. They were married in Kalamata, Greece in 1982. Together, they returned to the United States, along with a plan to bring a little bit of Greece home with them.
