Greek Prime Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (108)

"** Super Friendly Staff **** Quick Service **** Delicious ** Walking in, everyone behind the counter was in a frenzy. "Hi! Picking up?" I was immediately greeted. I wasn't and they were slammed! Not a problem, they quickly took my order and in no time at all, food was up! People typically pre order here I came to find out. I had the pork Souvlaki sandwich.Pork Sandwich as it is called on the menu, was possibly one of the best Pork Souvlakia I have ever had. Perfect blend of spices, fat and char. I literally pushed everything out of the sandwich and dug into the meat.Do your self a favor and order the Souvlaki itself. You can thank me later!"

"Ordered this as a bogo promo on a delivery app. Was pretty good and i enjoy that you can select your own toppings, while at an extra charge, wasn't outrageous.Knocked a star off as the pita was slightly stale or not as soft as a typical gyro and the Greek fries were soggy (not from delivery, one can tell the difference). No photo of the fries."

East of Eden Carry-Outs

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (133)

"We've been coming here for decades and love the place and it's people. Our favorites are the gyros and the chicken breast on pita. We also love their chicken dinners and they will even put BBQ sauce on it if you prefer. The spinach pies are also stuffed with lots of spinach and feta. Very good. You need to stand at the counter in front of the cash register to let them know you are ready to order. Otherwise they will assume you are still deciding, so please don't think of them as rude. They are just being polite by not bugging you so you can take your time."

Squabs Gyros

★★★★☆ 3.9 (193) • $$

"I love coming to Squabs for lunch. The food is extremely tasty and the service is friendly. The dinner plates are big enough to take half of your order Togo and eat later. My favorite plate is the chicken breast dinner or the chicken kabob which are always marinated/seasoned to perfection. The menu has a lot of variety so there's something for everyone. Unfortunately they serve their plates with plastic utensils so cutting up the food is sometimes a bit of a chore."

Hub's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (227) • $

"I can always count on Hub's!This place always warrants at least 1 visit during a Chicago visit - I always get their Gyros Plate, extra well-done, which comes with a big buttered pita bread, fries, sliced tomatoes, extra onions, and their chunky tzatziki sauce. Make sure you don't sleep on their rice pilaf, as this is one of the best that I've tasted - so good, and adds as a yummy side to your entree.Their gyro meat is sliced well, crispy, and tasty!Service is always great, welcoming and friendly!Plenty of tables and booths inside, and there's a private lot to park your vehicle.+Gyros Plate+rice pilaf+friendly service+family-owned+small lot"

Andros Taverna

★★★★☆ 4.2 (367)

"It's been nearly a year since my visit, but here goes this draft in my draftbox, begging me to finish! My friend brought me here for my 41st bday last August. It's a casual, but formal affair, if that makes sense. The space itself is pretty grand and you can tell a great amount of attention went into its detail. We sat in what appeared to be a sunroom, the entire restaurant was packed (but not in a mess hall sort of way). While the restaurant would not be one I'd opt for visiting (out of my price range and in the heart of Logan which isn't my cup of tea but perfect for my friend who's the king of showing off--love him to death), it was certainly worth the visit. This restaurant hit every nail on the head when it comes to an experience, a word that has lost its luster in today's greedy, corners-cut, post-covid climate. Our server made recommendations and got to know us, our runner delicately deboned our fish before our very eyes, a manager poked by, since we ordered wine a wine specialist ran down an extensive list of wines and their backstories. Just perfect. We also went for lamb chops, a beet salad and dessert specially adorned with a candle. You can tell the restaurant is operated by professionals dedicated to their craft and anyone with a restaurant (or business) could benefit paying them a visit to experience the experience of what an actual experience should look and feel like!"

"Returned after 4 years ago. There entrance is in the back of the building now. We met our friends there and they were sitting in the back to me, which almost seems like a hallway, so sat at high top table for four. Right near the door. We started with an appetizer of the Greek fries. Wow they were delicious hot fries with the wonderful seasoning, lemon and feta cheese. I could've ate that for a meal. It was delicious. I ordered the calamari appetizer which the flavoring was good. It came with pepperoncini lemons the flavor was great but I think with the veg it lost its crispness . Octopus appetizer was good almost minced very tender seasoned with lemons I ordered the avgolemeno . Beautiful presentation gigantic portion but didn't care for it. Tasted like the puff from the lemon was in it and didn't card for it. They were kind enough to take it off our bill. The Grecian chicken was fantastic so tender and succulent with cloves of garlic and crispy potato chunks that were very tender on the inside sitting in this incredible lemon sauce. Our friends had gyros and salmon special. They finished with a bread pudding . The food is outstanding I have to come back here and try the brunch."

"This place is a 10! The ambiance is chill with a fantastic covered patio to boot! For lunch we all order the lunch specials which have multiple options and are quite tasty. The staff are pros and they help us make nice choices. Dinners are amazing! Make sure you have reservations though because it's a popular locals spot."

Barba Yianni Grecian Taverna

★★★★☆ 3.7 (423) • $$

"Came here for a birthday dinner for a friend with about 20 people. The Doctor and I got there early and asked if we could have our check separate from the group so we could pay for the birthday person. The server said they did not do separate checks, even though there was nothing on the menu that said that. We didn't expect that everyone was going to ask for separate checks, just wanted two checks for the table. Let's get to the food. When the best meal of the night is the appetizer, there is not much that can be said about the menu. The octopus was amazing! It was grilled to perfection and it was tender. Everything else was just ok. It got the Makaronada Me Kima (greek spaguetti with seasoned ground beef, tomatoes & herb sauce). The dish itself was good, just didn't knock my socks off like the octopus did.The Doctor ordered a gyro entrée but was brought a gyro sandwich instead. Due to the wait, he chose to eat it instead of having the server bring the right order. We are not big on sending food back, so we usually just pay and leave, but because we were celebrating a friend, we stayed. This was most likely going to be a one and done deal for me unless someone I care about really has a strong need to go there. There are too many great Greek restaurants to just settle. This is really a two star review, but that octopus gets a star."

Papa Chris' Place

★★★★☆ 4.3 (175)

"Surprisingly good! I have gone to a bunch of places like this, but I will say that this one has probably the most unique dishes and all of them fresh. I like the Francheezie which isn't very common in other places. Its cheese, bacon, and a hot dog. Its a heartattack, but good! My nephews got chicken fingers which were pretty large and everything came with fries. You can't go wrong. They also have a sizable seating area with plenty of space for larger areas. Theres millions of places like this in the area and across Chicagoland, but this is the best of them all! I will be stopping by again!"

"I will begin here. I work in the area, as I mentioned before I have gone passed this location while on my way to work. I said one day I will stop in. I took a walk to dunning square, ran a quick errand. Had some time during my lunch, so I made my stop. I was greeted as I walked in. Which was welcoming. The service was beyond amazing. The food was also top notch. I ordered the cheeseburger lunch special, one of the best burgers I have had. The location is spacious, the ambiance is comfortable and warm. I am glad I stopped in. One of my friend's would order from this location for our office gatherings. One of the staff thanked me for coming, she saw my ID, and I said I work up the street. I will return soon."

Zam Zam Middle Eastern Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (336) • $$

"Bam bam! I ate here and it was so good it made me say damn damn! Zam Zam is definitely one of the best places for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean. Good stuff and big ass portions make up for the cost. There's a lot for vegans and vegetarians to check out. After running around all morning I needed some grub. I happened to be nearby. The cool name of the place caught my eye, so I gave it a try. Glad I did. They have several ordering options, including bowls, plates, and salads. I got the Veggie Plate. It's about $14, the only bad thing I can say. The price was high but there was a ton of food on this. For this plate, it comes with dolmanthes and falafel. There's baba ghannouch and hummus too. Also you get choices of sauces and sides. I got cucumber salad and tabbouli. Also you get pita bread. That's a lot. Boy, after all that food I needed to run around again. I could eat here every day and become a fatass. The prices luckily will keep that from happening thankfully."

"What a beautiful spot for brunch at Avli on the Park. Delicious brunch items, many with aroma rich Greek flavors. Refreshing bottomless mimosas and views from the rooftop.The servers are pretty fast and attentive, too. Check out the decor inside and outside. I would love to return at night, as I bet the views are equally nice.It's a short walk over through to Millenium Park."

Backyard Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (183) • $

"Y'all know I'm a sucker for Greek food, and this place had one of the BEST Greek food I've ever had.Located in Lincolnwood, Backyard Grill is a mid size counter-service food place with parking on all sides of the restaurant. It's very easily accessible and there were a ton of spots available (we came here on a Tuesday around 11:30am).I got the chicken skewer dinner (2 chicken skewers, Greek potatoes, rice, vegetables, and pita with tzatziki sauce), a side dinner salad but added feta and olives to it, and then my sister got their cold cut salad (blend of chopped crispy iceberg & romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red & green peppers, red onion, egg, turkey, ham, salami, cheddar & Swiss cheese). It was really big! The portion sizes here are above average in my opinion and are all fairly priced. I was obsessed with my chicken skewer plate. The chicken was juicy and charbroiled perfectly, and the Greek potatoes were so lemony, herby, and soft. Their feta and Greek dressing here are A1, too! The food did not disappoint. The only reason I docked a star is because of the inside and ambiance. There was one long table in the restaurant with a bunch of papers, a laptop, flyers, newspapers, and just a bunch of random stuff on it which didn't look too good and no one could sit at. They have a lot of long tables put together and not a lot of 4-tops or 2-tops, so you may have to sit next to strangers if it's busy. The place could've been a little cleaner. Nonetheless, I would easily come here again and try other things off their large menu. The food was fantastic!!"

"I hate to even write this, as the staff was so incredibly kind and patient with the large group I came in with, but the food just wasn't good at all. I ordered the falafel and hummus + pita, and it was so bad, I had to throw it out even though I was really hungry. The falafel was so dry, I couldn't even swallow it, and the hummus was a very odd texture and lacking in taste. This place was PACKED, so I can only assume their other menu options taste better, or everyone here has lost their tastebuds. Hard pass for me."

"BYG has prepared quite a few meals for us over the years and they've always been dependable, reliable and with good quality. They have a quite extensive menu but I'll usually choose one of their salads or a burger. This recent visit I had a burger which was perfectly cooked and waffle fries which were crisp and tasty. My companion had the spaghetti and meatballs which, though not pretty, was good with a garlicky sauce. I've cut down on my pasta consumption but it smelled really tempting. Nothing fancy here, just good food in generous portions."

Nicky's the Real McCoy

★★★☆☆ 3 (28)

"Nicky's The Real McCoy in Cicero is the quintessential fast-casual restaurant serving all of the iconic dishes of the Windy CIty...Chicago-style Hot Dogs, Maxwell-style Polishes, Italian Beefs served dipped, Gyros with traditional Tzatziki, Greek Chicken with garlicky-lemon goodness, Pollo Adobado asado al carbon and any other fast-food classic that might come to mind like a Pizza Puff & Chicken Fingers.Not only has Nicky's set the bar higher than 9.999 out of 10 Chicagoland fast food restaurants, but they do it with style, quality and dedication. This location in Cicero is their third establishment. It has an old-school, 1950s decor with stools, gumball machines and an authentic vintage diner decor. The staff is always friendly in their own playful, West side way. After ordering your food, don't be caught off guard by hearing one of the cooks bark back if it contains special instructions. The playful banter between the guests and the kitchen is all part of the show. Just laugh and enjoy some of the comments you hear while waiting for your order. Just don't dare order ketchup on your hot dog. This is considered sacrilegious. Its a 312 thing.The prices are probably among the most affordable in the city. In order for the owner George to be able to afford this, he dedicates himself daily on-site to training a quality team that uses quality product efficiently. Many of the recipes are his own that he learned while growing up in Greece. His daily presence also creates a super warm and communal atmosphere among regulars. I'm sad Nicky's doesn't deliver directly, but I recently learned that their food is available on Door Dash for anyone looking to try the best Grecian Chicken in the city without leaving their home or office in this weather.Five Solid Stars to Nicky's The Real McCoy in Cicero. While I haven't tried the other locations in Alsip (11524 South Pulaski Road) or their original location in Chicago at 58th & Kedzie, I can't imagine either would differ.

Avli Taverna - Lincoln Park

★★★★☆ 3.8 (294) • $$

"Pre-meal: Reservations suggested.Room: We ate outside in the spare but nice sidewalk outdoor space. The inside looks clean and modernish.Picture-taking: Outside is no problem when sun is out (duh). Inside there is plenty of natural light.Beverages: Nice cocktails, mocktails and mostly Greek wines. My "Trellis" cocktail - their take on a Greek-style Manhattan/Sazerac - was properly boozy and well balanced.Menu: Pretty standard Greek fare.Food: Generally well-prepared. Saganaki (flaming cheese) was came with fig compote (nice touch) but was not flamed tableside (why not?). Apart from the lack of a show, it was quite tasty. Lamb chops were smallish and a slightly overcooked but were still very good. The lamb moussaka and roasted chicken were very good too. Chicken souvlaki came without pita - hmm. Don't get the broccoli - it's silly for $8. The baklava is really good.Service: Good.Price: Moderate.Value: Good.Summary: Very good Greek food in upscale surroundings."

Tama

★★★★★ 4.6 (29)

"Celebrated my birthday at Tama with my husband, and we will definitely be back! Small menu, and we enjoyed every single item we ordered. The pita and dips and empanadas were absolutely delicious. Our favorite was definitely the patatas bravas, sooo satisfying! We love how different this restaurant is than many other restaurants in Chicago, and you can really tell the chefs perfected their dishes. It was also really cool to sit near the kitchen and hear them converse and cook. It was pretty busy for a Thursday evening but the food came out decently fast."

Mr Greek Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.2 (9)

"It's not an exaggeration to say that Chicago has a lot of burger joints and hot dog joints. It's also not an exaggeration to say that you can also find some very good Greek fast food in Chicago. However, there really wasn't a good spot to get Greek fat food in Little Italy, until now. As of the time of the writing of this review, Mr. Greek Gyros is new in Little Italy. First, the food is amazing. When I went, I ordered the big baby double cheeseburger combo with cheese fries, the chicken kabob dinner, the gyros plate and the baklava cheesecake. As gyros plates go, this one of the better one I've had. I also loved the big baby double cheeseburger. The patties were juicy and it was a cut about your average fast food burger. My mind was also a bit blown by the baklava cheesecake, it's a must order. Second, the service was topNotch. The entire staff, especially the cashier, were super nice. The food came out fast, fresh and delicious. The ambiance and atmosphere for a restaurant like this was perfect. The restaurant was clean, bright and had the vibes of a fast food Greek restaurant from Chicago's Greek Town.In sum, if want a burger or some quick and delicious Greek food around UIC, this is your place."

"I love the Oak Park location for their ribeye steak sandwiches. Great quality of steak meat is used there. THIS LOCATION HAS GRADE D RIBEYE STEAKS. I've been here twice in the last year and requested a steak sandwich, and I'm served sirloin or something that's similar to chop steak looks like to me! The quality of meat on the sandwich was very bad on my last 2 visits. The sandwich was freshly made. Just a very bad grade of steak was used. The service was pleasant. I'm going to stick to the Oak Park location!"

Jimmy’s Gyros & Grill

"We order a gyro plate and a gyro sandwich. Everything is made to order when you arrive. They are friendly and ready to make your wait satisfying. The gyro plate had enough meat on it to make two or three gyro sandwiches. As you can see from the pictures, the store was empty. The walls are full classic signs representing Chicago history."

Spectrum Bar and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (138) • $$

"We came to Spectrum for Greekfest. I ordered the chicken off the spit with salad and rice. The chicken was cooked really well in that it was still juicy when I got it. The salad and rice really complemented the chicken and the flavoring. As far as service goes, they were super busy, but they paid attention to detail and made sure i as a customer was satisfied. They asked me if I wanted the sauce on the side or on top, which I appreciated instead of just putting it straight on top like most places would do. Overall, very refreshing and savory!"

George's Hot Dogs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (228) • $

"Super friendly place with Jeopardy! playing on the TV in the back - nice change from sports (says me, not sure how many would agree).The fries are notably good here, and the dog is quintessential Chicago. It's a little pricier than some joints, but it's also more comfortable. I'm pretty much never going to complain about a great Chicago dog purveyor even if there isn't much to say about the dog because there isn't much variation. And there shouldn't be. Do a Chicago dog right, you have my business."

Psistaria Greek Taverna

★★★★☆ 4.1 (787) • $$

"In 2022 we ended up having a wedding rehearsal here and it was a huge hit amongst Greek and non Greek individuals. We have since moved from the area, but have come here at least once a year to enjoy truly Greek cuisine. Over this last weekend, the day before Easter, we came here and ended up feasting. The mini kabobs on their appetizer menu were more like traditional souvlaki you'd find in Greece but on smaller skewers. (Note if you order the kabob meal the meat is much larger and more American). We both agreed the appetizer is the way to go to enjoy a local but authentic souvlaki.It was incredibly busy, but we really enjoyed our food and the many leftovers. The ambiance was a little loud, but it didn't feel crowded despite it being packed. The only thing I would recommend is the frappe being served in a class cup. Bravo"

"I was not impressed with anything from this place as these Gyros tasted like totally worse than what's offered at the supermarket. The fries also were not good and the long the line was long aside from that this place looks pretty cool especially in the summer and looks like a traditional hot dog stand on a busy world with outside seating in tables the prices is with inflation are high and the food is not especially good"

Our waitress was attentive and came often to check on us.Will definitely be back again."

Nicky's The Real McCoy

★★★★☆ 3.6 (103)

"I've been to several Nicky's around the city. But never this one. I have no complaints about any of them, but the Big Baby that I ate the other day from here, definitely hit the spot. This is a very busy location. People are constantly coming in and out of this joint. And for a damn good reason. Half of them are dining and and the other half are doing take out. The dining area is very spacious, and surprisingly very clean. The Big Baby came out very hot. The poppyseed bun was perfectly toasted and meat was very juicy and flavorful. It was covered with cheese and grilled onions with ketchup on the bottom part of the bun. The fries were also very good. They were think, frozen fries. Tasted similar to Mickey Ds, but crispier. Will definitely be returning very soon."

"Clean but older building with a tight parking lot. Extremely friendly people, greeting everyone as they enter and saying goodbye as they leave. Typical menu with burgers, dogs, gyros, Italian Beef, etc. They have an indoor smoker, I'd love to try their ribs someday. Good prices.My gyro was good, piled high and falling off the pita. They even gave me an extra sauce. Five stars, helped in part by their friendliness."
