Front the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. Rula took our order and recommend certain platters. As first time customers we were very satisfied! WE didn’t eat.. WE goggled. The Gyro plate is better than Greek-town Chicago downtown. Thank you for the recommendations Rula you’re the best!HIGHLY recommend if wanting good authentic FAST Greek food!
Whenever I think about gyros, the first place that comes to mind is definitely this family-owned restaurant. This restaurant has been here for years, and I have also been here a lot of times, and I can definitely say that they are very consistent with their food, flavor, and everything. The restaurant is also super nice. It is a good spot for something casual and comfy. It is also always clean and bright and just basically a good spot when you want something clean that has nice ambiance as well. The food here is really delicious. They have a huge variety of options on their menu. There are a lot of choices, but for me, the best ones are definitely their gyros, salads, their dogs, and, of course, their burgers. I love their gyros because they are authentic, they taste delicious, and they are always served fresh. Their salad is always fresh, and aside from that, the dressing tastes great too. Their dogs and burgers are also good. It all tastes good, and the portions are huge. Back then, service was always quick, but it is kind of different now. Service is sometimes really slow. That’s the only downside I could think of, and the rest of everything is fine, including the prices, which are fair and reasonable.
Food was decent and prices were fairly reasonable. Wasn’t a huge fan of the chicken tenders, but may just be my personal taste. It was busy when I went and it was a very long wait after ordering.

I missed going to this spot, and that is why I did not hesitate to visit it for the first time after a long time. It never really gets old. Every good thing I wanted to experience in a fast food restaurant is what I always experience here, and that includes them having great customer service and, most importantly, delicious and good quality food. I went here for lunch and it was busy, but I was able to order quickly and get seated on the first available seat I saw. I usually order the BBQ ribs because they are so good and tender meat with perfect seasoning and flavor, but instead of that BBQ rib, I ordered a gyros plate. There are a variety of options on their menu, and I have been going to this spot a lot of times. I am certain that I haven’t tried all of them, but based on the food I ate at this restaurant, I can say that every meal never disappoints. My food came, and the service was friendly and quick. Food is definitely good. It tastes fresh, and everything on the plate has a good, tasty flavor. I do not regret choosing it over the BBQ ribs, which I love the most.
First time here and it’s amazing. Closest thing to my own Greek mother’s lemon potatoes. 100% recommend
