Squabs Gyros

We brought in the food for a lunch meeting and everyone raved about how delicious it was and the portions were nice too. I ordered a chicken gyro but it came with chicken slices from breasts instead of gyro meat. If that was the way they do gyros, ok. But not really a gyro. Taste was great. Sauce was tasty, served on a pita. I'd order it again. Good local place.

On the SW corner of Mannheim and Fullerton, this was quite the busy place. A nice, Greek joint vibe with great gyros. Plenty of tables but, they seem to have a big carry-out clientele as well. We had practically perfect timing arriving at 11:10am. My co-worker got the Gyros Sandwich with fries and I ordered the big Gyros Plate (see photo) for $19.84. But, when the cook brought out two, full pans of beautifully, broasted chicken halves (it musta been several dozen!), it made us wish we'd ordered the Greek Chicken. Our other friend with us had the Combo Plate: Two Chicken Kabobs, Gyros with tsaziki, olives and feta on the side. The food came out pretty darn quick, though. At about twenty bucks a plate, there was a lot of food. Soon again, we'll be back to get some of that great, Greek Chicken, for sure.

I was craving their potatoes so we stopped in and due to a miscommunication (I tried to order a big enough plate to share with David but he never told me that he hates the chicken here-- he's crazy, it's great) I quickly found myself staring at a grumpy husband.I had ordered the half chicken with just potatoes in the hopes of getting double potatoes and no other accompaniment... but I wound up with chicken that David was convinced was undercooked and a couple of potatoes that he wolfed down. I asked him to go up to the counter and ask if we could pay an up charge and get the bread and salad that would've come with the platter. He went up and George gave it to him without charge or interrogation. "What do you need?" "Tell my daughter what you need." Since David finally came clean that he likes the gyros and the broasted chicken but not the baked chicken, we won't have the miscommunication next time-- and there will be a next time because places like this deserve my business. The chicken was moist with crispy skin and (despite the fact that I ate it as quickly as a dog trying to hide a transgression) really tasty. As always. The dining area is large for a counter service place and the air quality is good. They've even got a slot lounge (completely separate from the dining floor. You'll spend a little bit more (1/2 chicken platter was 17 and change) but don't tell me that you love the USA and then tell me that you aren't willing to support local businesses.I finally got my potatoes, yummmmy.

The food in this place is great. They have a sign outside that says "the best roasted chicken in chicago. Their chicken tastes good. I believe they have some special recipe coz its really good. Been here many times. This time i have tried the gyro dinner and shrimp dinner. It was really good. Would definitly comeback. During meal times, this place will be packed of diners.

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.

This is a casual restaurant frequented by many locals. One would order from the counter and then find a table to seat. Looking just at the prepared foods around the counter one could tell that it is a very busy restaurant; not only for dining room patrons but also the amount of takeout orders.So, it was not a surprise that after we ordered and sat down, it took a long time for our foods to come out. In fact, we thought that they forgot our order and had to ask at the counter. In addition, we had to clean the table before we could sit down.As for the food, we ordered a kebab plate and a gyros plate. The aroma of the meats from the kitchen really filled the restaurant. Both our plates were above our expectations. I don't think anyone visiting this restaurant will go home hungry. They piled up the meats like they have endless supply. Not only the amount, they were also flavorful and delicious.If we are catching a flight out of O'Hare and have the extra time, will probably consider this place again.

I went back to the restaurant after this was said to me by Pete, the manager: "If you decide to dine with us in the future, we'll be sure to make it up to you like we know we can." OK. Here is your chance, Pete.I walk in and ask for Pete. Pete approaches, I introduced myself and shared with him the past review of what had happened. So now, after reading, he asks, "What can make up for this?" I reply,"2 chicken breasts sandwiches. " His response was, "No." Then, he walked away rudely.What was the point of saying, "If you decide to dine with us in the future, we'll be sure to make it up to you like we know we can."??? Then, he lied AGAIN saying the following: "We'd never want you to leave our place disappointed with your food, Jay." Well, I am, 'cause I never received any during my second visit!!! That is just Pete being a phony, twice!!! What a joke,him, and his place is!! (Need to clean the effin' toilets, too!! Just lazy as hell!!!)What was the point of asking "What can make up for this" when you have absolutely no extent to make up for uncooked, dangerous meat??? I think it is ignorant, especially when he abruptly walked away. You have the nerve to fix your mouth and say "...and that's the way Dad wanted it...". Ha!!! He's probably rolling over in his grave!!!Don't eat here and get treated wrong and sick. Go to Yorky's. The food is way better, and they will treat you like a human being.

Squabs Gyros is one of my favorite restaurants in this area. Their food is high quality and tastes good. The staff are professional, friendly and courteous. I recommend trying their Greek chicken, cheeseburgers, Broasted chicken, potatoes and rice, chicken kabobs, souvlaki, grilled chicken sandwich, gyros, meatball sandwich, fries. Delicious food! Whole family enjoyed everything we ordered. Was told with confidence that we would return when back in Chicago. They have an absolutely delicious and huge menu. Also, they have friendly staff, nice place to eat. Each meal gives you a lot for the price. Great! Can't wait to return.

The service here was alright. Just alright. The food here was also just alright. I had a chicken kabob plate and a gyro which were both mediocre. The diner itself was nice, aesthetically and felt comfortable.

I love this place but, on my Oder this time was missing a gyro sandwich and I got charged for it.They got my phone Oder right but what I received is insufficient. I still recommend Squabs but pls check your order before you leave the restaurant..
