You asked. We listened. And apparently, one limited-edition Sarkis run just wasn't enough! We're back with Round 2 of our limited-edition Sarkis apparel, and this time we're bringing you BOTH T-shirts and sweatshirts!

We've been serving up scary amounts of food since 1965, and somehow the most frightening thing we've ever heard is, "I'll just have a bite of yours."

No tricks here. Just great food, questionable self-control, and enough hash browns to make any costume a little tighter.

Have a safe and happy Halloween from all of us at Sarkis!

First look at our next limited-edition design! Might be sweatshirt time, but not ruling out another tee. So we're putting it to a vote. Help decide what goes into production this week!

Team Tee or Team Sweatshirt?

The design is ours, the decision is yours.

We've been making questionable decisions look brilliant since 1965. Case in point: The Animal. Take everything you love about a Loretta, give it a bigger French bread roll, and load it up with three of our most popular meats. Or create a beast of your own with any three meats you dare to combine. Is it a little over the top? Probably. Do we regret it? Not for a second. Some things are just meant to be taken too far.

October has pumpkins, haunted houses, and people pretending they like candy corn. But you know what's really scary? A week without a Loretta! Keeping Evanston well-fed since 1965.

1 Loretta… 2 Loretta… 3 Loretta… 4! Who’s counting? We sure aren’t! There’s just something about a Sarkis Loretta that keeps you coming back for more. One is never enough. Two sounds even better. And by four? Well, we’re not here to judge.

How many Lorettas have YOU had over the years? A little Sarkis tradition since 1965.

Chicago lost a legend today. Mike Ditka was more than a football coach. He was Chicago. Tough, passionate, larger than life, and one of a kind. For those of us who remember the '85 Bears, there was nothing quite like the excitement he brought to this city. He gave Chicago something to believe in, something to celebrate, and memories that will last forever. Here at Sarkis, we've been part of the Chicagoland community for more than 60 years. We've seen a lot of Chicago history, but there will never be another Da Coach. Our thoughts are with the Ditka family and all the Bears fans mourning his loss. Rest in peace, Coach. Thanks for the memories. Once a Chicago legend, always a Chicago legend.

Some things you just never outgrow. Our Mickey Mouse pancakes have been making kids smile at Sarkis for years. Bring the kids. Bring the grandkids. Or go ahead and order one for yourself., we won’t judge. Getting to watch one generation grow up and come back with the next is one of our very favorite parts of being Sarkis.

There’s just something about a weekend at Sarkis. Good food, familiar faces, a little chaos, and probably a Loretta or two coming out of the kitchen. Come hungry. We’ll take care of the rest.

Football is back… which means weekends just got better. You bring the team colors. We’ll handle the important stuff — hash browns, Lorettas, Disasters, and plenty of coffee. Whether you’re celebrating a win, recovering from a loss, or just here because somebody said Sarkis, we’ve got you covered. Who are you rooting for this season?
