Charcoal Flame Grill

I have a buddy who's Greek and he tells this is one of his go to spots for gyros. I ordered to go from the counter and the service was nice but I did think it took a bit long for it not being too busy. I ordered a Greek gyro platter and a kefta sandwich, both were good but I did think the sandwich was overpriced for just a small sandwich alone($10). I'd definitely go back for that Greek gyro platter though, which is a homemade pork spit. I also loved their tzatziki sauce. The inside has an old school Chicago Wendy's feel and it's a plus they got some espn on for me. Not a bad spot for some Greek style foods.

Consistently good and delicious. In such a competitive industry, they continue to deliver amazing food at a reasonable price point. The staff are friendly and attentive and makes you feel like a true local small business. The dining area is family like and the majority of the time I've been there, the ambiance is quiet and peaceful.

Although I wouldn't call this an fully authentic Greek eatery, the food was remarkable enough to warrant a high rating. Counter service was quick and efficient as well. Their menu seems to fuse items found from your typical ma-and-pa red hot joint, as well as from gastronomic Greek street food places. I settled for the pork gyros plate w/ my choice of lentil soup. The soup was pretty average, with lentils not too mushy. Just wish it was served a bit hotter. But let me say, the pork gyros from here were the most tender and herby ones I have EVER had!! The rice pilaf packed the perfect softness (while not being watery) and potato wedges were nicely pillowy and lemony. The pita likely just came out of a Kronos package, expected that anyway though. The tzatziki, however, could use some improvement. I wish the dill aromatics would have come out more (if there even was any, that is). But the smooth and cool properties certainly were there. A pretty solid deal for $17 overall. And is guaranteed to fill you up, if anything!Another plus: unlike most places I've been to, there's no need to worry leaving with your shirt smelling like gyros. I would consider Charcoal Flame a great introduction for those who have never tried a non-American gyro before. But it also appears to be filled with locals who know good food! Would probably come back if I lived closer.

Ever drive by someplace and smell and aroma that makes the car want to drive itself into the parking lot? That is exactly what happened here. There are few things that cause my car to be willing to careen across traffic to get somewhere and Charcoal Flame is one of those places. When you walk in you are greeted with by someone who looks and talks to like family. They take the time to explain the menu, the options, and the system. When he got to the soup or salad question I asked which kind of soups and he said chicken something. I honestly don't know if it was a word I never heard or just heard him wrong, but I took the chance and went with it. Let me tell you... chicken something is possibly the best soup I ever had in my life. All standards for chicken something soup have been set. The soup and drink were provided before I went to sit down. When my rib tips and rice were ready, they called my number and I brought it back to my seat. The ribs were good. The sauce provided a huge amount of flavor and they were covered completely. The rice is a great flavored rice that had me thinking of the Mediterranean region. Then there is the price. So much food, and the price is great. I highly recommend.

WOW is literally all I can say. I was riding in the car and my friend asked if we could stop by. This place we got the traditional gyros and they were AMAZING. We went to the drive thru and they were quick. I also recommend getting the greek fries and eating them while they are hot and super crispy. My friends said they wish that there was more oregano on the greek fries but overall a phenomenal place and we are definitely coming back again'

Charcoal Flame Grill has been around in the Morton Grove' hood for a while, and their menu offers items such as spanakopita, Grecian boneless pork chops, and daily specials.This place is known for their pork gyros, but I came here to try their American gyros instead. I ordered: +the American Gyro Sandwich, which comes with onions, tomato slices, and tzatziki - the onions and the tzatziki came separately and on the side, which I appreciated; when the gyro meats are made-to-order and are super hot, you don't want the tzatziki sauce to be all warm! Same goes for the onions.Unfortunately, the tzatziki was super bland and super runny, having such a thin consistency. The onions came in a bag, and I wasn't really a fan of the amount of parsley that was mixed in. The gyro meat itself was fine, but the portions seem a little less compared to other gyros spots.Now, the pita, was one of the better ones I've had - it was nice and buttery, super fluffy and fresh.Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and there was ample amount of seating inside. There were plenty of call-ins and carry-out orders, too.They have a small lot for your vehicle, and getting out may be a bit tricky if you're trying to get back on Dempster; there are local streets to do a turn-around though.+tasty pita bread+bland tzatziki sauce+friendly staff+private lot for parking

My first memory of this place is wow, how my 6yo inhaled 80% of her adult sized burger in one sitting. Dang gurl, slow that growth spurt down! I would like to come back to try their burgers, just like my mini me. On our visit though, I wasn't feeling ultra hungry, so opted for the Meditteranean chicken sanddwich, which included pesto, Swiss cheese, and LTO. It was an extremely hearty serving, so lasted me 2 sittings. My husband's gyro plate got 2 thumbs up, and I can vouch for how legit the mozz sticks are. Crispy, ooey gooey, and piping hot!We'll definitely be back to this MG staple! Prices are reasonable, plenty of seating, and easy to park in the side lot.

Yes, this one was a pleasant surprise. I'd been told throughout the years that this location is "just okay" and too overpriced. I decided to give it a go. Well worth a shot! Pricey for what you're getting. But very standard in the gyro business as far as paying relatively under 20.00 for a decent sized meal. Their Greek salads look phenomenal as I was waiting for my food. Fresh olives and pita bread!Their Greek styled gyro sandwich was great. A little bit of different type of meat to the American gyro or at least chopped up differently. Comes with some fries already in the pita. Baklava was just okay. I'd hold off. Very friendly and chatty customer service!

Food was FANTASTIC! Gyro & kebob plate portions were big, took home leftovers for lunch the next day. Never have I had anything so delicious and still had buyers remorse. Let me explain; i ordered the American Gyro and loved it. Then I tried my daughter's Greek Gyro with the pork and it got even better. Highly recommend trying Charcoal Flame. I cannot imagine you would be disappointed.

Pork Gyros are so good here. I've never found them anywhere else. They are better than the brown dry strips of meat gyros that were used to in America.
