“Papa Chris is across from the Leaning Tower of Niles if you know where that is. It's a typical older family-owned joint. My kinda place. The folks were friendly and the prices were great.My gyro was filled with really tasty meat but the tzatziki sauce didn't quite do it for me. A little bland, maybe. More cucumber, less yogurt. Something.Anyway, everything else was great. Thumbs up.“
“Traditional Greek restaurant packed at all times with regulars and families. $15 corkage fee and large traditional Greek menu selection. Always packed, loud, and a wait but the service staff hustles to keep turnover moving. They do a good job on the show with flaming saganaki and flaming Bougatsa dessert. Whole grilled fishes- Sea Bass, Sea Bream, & Red Snapper expertly prepared and deboned tableside with preservation of head & tail for display. Ample bread and olive oil to start- will not leave hungryParking: Pretty much have to valet here“

“Wow, was told about this place by a friend. As soon as you walk in two things hit ya immediately. First, the aroma of the food, Second the warm greeting. I had the Greek Gyro, OMG, I’ll never have another standard veal/beef gyro again. The Greek is all pork, so tender, juicy with, crisp ends!!! I will have to control myself, knowing this place is here. Oh, BTW. You should see the salads!!!! Single serving is big enough to feed a family!!!!! Try it, you won’t regret it!!!“
“The Best Greek food you will find‼️‼️ it’s consistent, it’s delicious, it’s fresh‼️Real olive oil-You can’t miss at this restaurant. It says good for carnivores as it is for vegetarians.Vegetarian options: They have plenty of options for vegetarian.

“This is the best Greek village salad I’ve ever had. This is my favorite type of salad and usually the only type of salad I will eat. I got it from here a few weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since….so glad I went back for it again today - YUM!!Their marinated meats for the grill are also delicious!!“
“BYG appears to be back to the ways they were before the pandemic of 2020. Their portions are generous again as before I felt there was major cutbacks in quality and quantity due to businesses suffering due to Covid. Loved the pork kebab (Souvlaki), tzatziki sauce along with the Greek potatoes and rice pilaf.“
“Perfect Chicago style fast food joint! Gyro was excellent. Good portions at a fair price! First time visitor and very happy I have found my new go to for great meal! Can't wait to try other offerings. Definitely a must try if you are looking for a good meal!!!Parking: Easier to get in and out parking lot than it looks.“
“I've wanted to check out this place for a while and finally did. I went with a group of 5 people for dinner.The itself place is beautiful. It's got a great ambiance as well.The food was good. I will say that the food is very overpriced. I can get similar or better food for a much lower price.Jacob was our waiter and he was wonderful. He was attentive and so kind.“
“Great spot for in and out service! They offer fast service while still maintaining high quality eats. Burger stand ambiance with top quality food. I've ordered from here many times, and haven't found anything I didn't like. Some of my favorites are Philly cheesesteak and Philly chicken. Both are super yummy! Gyros, burgers, Italian beef, bbq beef, all delicious. Oh, don't forget the fries. I order mine well done and they nail it spot on every time. The pizza puffs RULE! That's it dear diners, check them out and enjoy.“
“Greek Food!We love the stuff and enjoy coming to Plateia whenever we’re in the area. We enjoyed the previous Greek restaurant that was located here before, and luckily found that Plateia pretty much carried on where “Periyali” left off.We love the grilled octopus and grilled calamari - both of which can be hard to find. Most places only serve breaded, deep-fried calamari. The souvlaki (skewers) are also quite good. The dips are a great appetizer, and of course you MUST have a few bottles of Greek wine to accompany it all with.If you’re looking for a meal that is tasty AND fun - this is the place to go!“
“The owners made me feel like I was a regular, and had been going there for years.., but it was actually my first time eating there . The Lemon chicken soup was the best I've ever had! Went back the next day to bring some home to Missouri. (Here on vacation and wanted to share with friends when I get home) I will definitely be back. Ohh and the homemade bread they serve with the soup came out of the oven while they packaged my soup to go, and it was warm and sliced for me on the spot. It doesn't get better than this family owned hidden gem. Thank you Grapevine, I'll be back next time I visit!“
“When you find a local neighborhood spot that just screams family and the food takes you back to your childhood, that's a place you want to keep going back to. Hands down best gyros in town and the tzatziki sauce definitely makes them stand out. Very friendly service and clean establishment. Not to mention the pricing is more affordable than other places with a similar menu. It's located in a small strip mall next to Walgreens, but once you find it you won't forget it.“
“Has so many choices of food from sandwiches to sea food and regular grill food ! The only thing Abt the Italian beef it wasn't as proportioned in meat compared to Portillos for example.. Great service and lots of seating to your comfort! Will definitely come back to try other meals !“
“We had a lovely dinner at Central Gyros this evening. Normally we get gyros or ribs to go (always delicious) but today we tried something different. We had a gyros wrap, gyros salad, hummus, Greek potatoes and DESSERT! Everything was perfect! Our waitress was the sweetest and very attentive!!!“
“The food was absolutely delicious. Calamari came out quickly and was very hot. The hero was tender and juicy, as was the pork shish kebab. The only thing better than the food was the service. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, who engaged in conversation, and was very warm and welcoming. I would definitely go back.“
“I noticed this Greek restaurant on my way and decided to give it a try with my wife. I am a travelling chef and food critic. The restaurant reminded me of the restaurants facing Acropolis in Athens.This is a fast-food restaurant, simple menu with multiple choices. Friendly staff, and reasonably priced. Every piece was tasty and juicy, had perfect spice balance, grilled to perfection. Fries and tzatziki were yummy too, The soup was delicious I suggest to go easy with lemon j. We dined in to enjoy the Greek music. This is a must try restaurant.“
“First time to eat here. Nice ambience, was able to be seated, quick service, friendly hostess.Good serving of calamari. We tried their octopus - it was also good. For dinner, my husband and I shared the lamb- it was tender but did not really care for it because it was gamey. We will try to come again and try their other food in the menu then we can compare with other Greek restaurant that my husband and I always go to.“
“This is a Chicago style restaurant. You go in you order at the counter and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. They have a very large menu with a little something for everyone. The prices are fair and the food is tasty. They offer bottled beers as well as some Mexican drinks. There is usually some sort of sport game playing on the large TV. They also have a separate gambling room. I have been here numerous times and try something different to eat each time. Overall, it's a nice place to stop and grab a quick bite to eat. The atmosphere is just a place to eat with customers ranging from people of all backgrounds. If you are in the area and need a quick bite this is a good place to go eat.“
“The best Gyro I have ever had. :)I was immediately greeted by a super friendly staff and just by ordering I knew it was going to be delicious and it definitely was. I eat a lot of food and this definitely filled me up Plus for a great price. I am definitely coming here again, I'll even go out of my way and definitely would bring my family. Very happy I went here!!! Thanks again!!!!!!“
“This past mid September was the very first time trying this place and I'm glad I did. I'm a bit of a Gyros junkie so stumbling onto the name on Google maps caught my attention.My family & I were wandering around Old Orchard before coming here but I'm not familiar with any restaurants within the mall that serve up Gyros or at least I haven't heard of any popular name that's known for their Gyros there.Told my wife I've got that craving and wanna go exploring. Grecian Kitchen sounded just dandy and also in town not all that far from the mall and I always try my best to support local.I know besides actual Greek restaurants that there are hundreds of Chicago/Greek grills that many people would claim "MEH, they're all the same!". Not always the case for me and GK boasts a great menu with really good food and especially the Gyros.I've had my fair share of places that have served up some bland & boring Gyros before and never to return. Gyros here are excellent; meat is soft & moist, well seasoned and not too salty.Prices are still reasonable amidst the pandemic, nationwide inflation and the minimum wage hike. Clean dining room with outdoor seating as well with friendly customer service.We live up in Beach Park in between Wadsworth and Waukegan so not sure when I'll get back down here but if my wife ever wants to browse Nordstrom which Old Orchard is the closest to our house then I'll have to make room for some savory Gyros.I wish a prosperous & successful future for the owner(s) and decades of boomin' business to come their way.“
“Been coming here for 30+ years, service and food is always too notch. The corn dog is dipped in-house, the gyro is always juicy with sauce as thick as ice cream and the taco/super taco are always worth trying. Chez whiz in everything— they do it best. Keep up the good work!“
“One of the best grilled chicken sandwiches I've ever had, hands down! I pre-ordered my meal on a Friday night in between running errands. Thank heavens that I did because there was practically a line out the door, which is always a solid indication that this place not only tickles, but slaps.“
“My family and I have been going to Goodi's for years! Great Greek style fresh food. Their spanakopita (spinach pie) is so special! Delicious chicken kebab, Italian Beef, Gyros, and salads always fresh and good quality. Family owned with wonderful staff especially Angie who greets me by name. Highly recommend this local gem!“
“Great Greek food is my favorite but the burgers, hot dogs, ribs and chicken are the best. They have catered several family events and are kind sweet people to work with! The decor is strictly fast food but there's always a lively group enjoying themselves.“
“The inside of this place looks great. Very old school diner type vibe.I had two burgers. Didn’t try the fries or any drinks. The burgers themselves were satisfactory. Nothing special but good.If you’re more adventurous than me, I would definitely give their other menu items a shot. I would visit again if given the chance.“
“Zees Gyro, managed by the remarkable Constantine, his genuine hospitality, thoughtful consideration, and generous spirit was evident in every aspect of my visit. His outstanding service not only reflected in attitude but also creating a welcoming atmosphere. Zees famous chicken, with Constantine at the helm, stands out because of his up to par customer service. Not only does great food matter but also how you deal with people. He really impressed me. I highly recommend this spot.“
“I stopped in for a quick bite on my way to the dentist. They still serve the American usual hot dog Polish burgers tenders stuff like that. The Chicken shawarma wrap was absolutely amazing with veggies. I'm sure the falafel is awesome as well I'll be back soon.“
“A nice local place. Good food, lot's of choices, always quick, and reasonable prices.Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian place per se. But the choice variety is wide enough that a vegetarian like my mother can easily put together a good meal.Kid-friendliness: No playland but food is delivered quickly, and that helps with kids.Wheelchair accessibility: All ground floor, wide doors and wide aislebetween tables. So wheelchairs should have minimal dificulty.“
“It's oh-so-comforting when some great things stay the same! Skybridge, a/k/a The Greek Place, has been magnificent for decades. Pete, Peggy, and Pete the Greek Etymologist will serve you quickly and perfectly with charm and grace...and a smile! Plus, the food is typical Greek diner, which is great if you like that...and I do! Keep going Skybridge!“
“The restaurant has a great walkin we were greeted well food exquisite ? ?The waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed.Lots of tables either waiting to be going out . It was one guy no help. A little bit of the ending part was a wait. I seen people waiting looking around wanting to leave. The waiter was charming. We are loving peeps. WE shall return the food is Fabulous ? my goodness YUMMY great ? huge portions. Love it..“
“Was really good. Loved the cashier such a kind person wish all cashier hosts were like her. Please give her a raise I not sure of her name but I know she has a beautiful husky named Shelly!! We will be back for sure great dinner worth every dime hats off to the chefs delicious ? damit give them all a raise!!!Parking: Enough spaces!!“

“I've been getting Gyros from this awesome place since 1,993 (October). I still remember the first time I bought a Gyro sandwich from them. Always friendly, and great environment. I was there last Saturday 02-03-24 because my kids love their food. ❤️❤️❤️Keep it up, Gyros Express ❗“
“Upscale hot dog hamburger and Gyros they have a small and medium and a large gyros sandwich. There's that sticky sauce taste like it was just made to order and for a medium which is a huge sandwich it's $8 very reasonable but they also have a $6 and a $10 version which is more than adequate in any case.Parking: Plenty of parking spots on their property.“
“Tom & Jerry's Gyros is alway our family's go too .From the friendly staff to the delicious food and fast service.You can not go wrong with any of their menu items . We are oh so obsessed with their cheese fries ..mozzarella sticks , gyros, bacon burgers, steak sandwich and their chicken ceaser salad. Yum. So next time your feeling hungry stop at Tom and Jerry's Gryros you will not regret it .P.S they have a television that plays Tom and Jerry cartoons too.Love it.“
“The Greek salad was Awesome!!! Had everything in it and anchovies upon request! The Grecian Chicken meal and Gyros sandwich Awesome! Don't forget the freshcut fries, nice and hot upon pick-up! We'll be coming back real soon...We're neighborhood folk, and like to enjoy a nice delicious meal away from home, just like eating at home! You won't go wrong trying this place, if you haven't already!Parking: Parking is very convenient...right out in front“
“Place was old school with workers who have been there for several years. It was fun to listen to the old timers banter each other and the regulars. The food was okay, not the traditional gyro but huge portions of meat and onions if that’s what you’re looking for.“
