I visited this restaurant when I was in the area and actually brought a client. They are not fancy but have been around a while. One sign says Since 1972, another says Since 1981. They have a lot of fried items to cater to the local community, in addition to soups, salads and burgers. I tried the regular gyro and found it to be heaping with meat. It was tasty with plenty of tzitki sauce. The garlic fries are unique and addictive. My colleague ordered a burger and my client ordered a chicken gyro and both seemed to enjoy their meal. While this is not a 5 star restaurant, it certainly gets the job done if you're in the area. My one main complaint would be the hotter than hell men's restroom. Hopefully they can rectify that situation soon. read more

This restaurant is ok if looking for a quick bite to eat on your lunch break or just in the neighborhood. Quick service on the wait for the food. The atmosphere is your average gyro & burger joint. The eating area was clean, but in my opinion could've been better. But I will be back to try other items on their menu. Recommend others to checkout this restaurant. read more

See all

They have thee best garlic fries! I tried the fish sandwich for the first time and it was very tasty! I call my order in and it's usually ready when I arrive. The staff and the owner are very very friendly and they've trained their staff to be the same way. This place has been a staple in the community for many years. It's a small space with limited seating, but I always run in and pick my order up to go. read more

Great Navy Bean Soup! I also recommend the garlic seasoning on the French fries. The food is quick and delicious. The restaurant is clean. Parking can be tricky because the lot is small. Try the gym shoe sandwich. It's unique! read more

Very fast service. Addicted to the garlic fries! Can only have a few once a month. Grilled chicken salad is very good too.

Got a turkey burger w fries. Turkey burger was fye! Juicy and seasoned well. Fried also seasoned well. Everything was fresh.

Food always just right and cooked to order. Service good and family owners are good neighbors.

Ordered a few gyros. Two stars are for the sauce and skinny fries with mild sauce. Taste of these were slightly above average. Onions and tomatoes were fresh. That's where it ends. Meat tasted a bit spoiled. Pita was blob of tasteless bread. No season on tomatoes and onions. Phoned in order but didn't begin prepping until I got there. What's the point?!? Overall, subpar. Will not return. read more

One of Harvey's hidden gems. Their salads are delicious! My favorite is the Greek salad. Gyros, garlic fries, burgers, all very tasty. It's a family owned business and they have great customer service. I put a couple of my coworkers on this great lunch spot. Just beware it's tiny and the parking lot is also tiny so if you plan on going for lunch, don't expect to find parking right away. read more

Gyros is my favorite food. This place gives u what u need 100% every time. Super consistent. The staff is fast, I'm always in and out quick. Good by portions. Not too greasy. Love read more

Go there for a good gyro burger! That's all I get from there which is sooo good & reasonable pricing.

Got a new job, so I'm venturing into new places. Harvey is considered the hood but they know how to eat well. Alpha Gyros near 147th and Dixie Hwy...its always crowded at lunch because the food is really good. Salads....yes! Gyros....yes! Hot dogs....yes! Affordable...yes! French fries...the best!!! There ya have it! Enjoy. read more

The best hood tacos and fries I've ever tasted! The (oldest) son is such a good people person and customer service person. It really beams through that he takes pride in his work and likes to interact with the customers. I've been eating here since about 2008 and the only thing I have ever eaten from here has been the steak tacos w/ everything (cheese, grilled onion, cilantro, and tomato) and the garlic fries w/ mild sauce. This is the best comfort food ever. They have also recently updated the restaurant... It DESPERATELY needed it, so I was pleasantly surprised to see all the updates. The recipe tasted SLIGHTLY different from the last time I went...but the food was still good. The restaurant used to have a horrible smell, I don't know what it was, but it wasn't there when I went today. *I never let the smell be a deterrent- because the food was always super hot and fresh... I do wonder what it was, and why it's not there anymore. Hmmmm. read more

I've only ever had the chicken salad. However it is so amazing. I wish they had spinach to add to it but other than that it's great. The chicken is so good. I eat there at least once a week. read more

Hey, all their fries are good! Their gyros and Italian beefs are slamming. Let's see....their roast beef sandwich's aren't too bad either. They're located in the hood, but it's ok. Lol read more

Found this spot here on Yelp and decided to confirm or refute the good reviews. I called my order in which is when thus business obtained the 1st of 5 stars. They answered almost instantaneously (although they were busy as i later witnessed)and was very courteous and patient. They make you feel that you are a valued customer and not a number that increase revenue by asking Your name which is called upon the order being ready. He also complimented me on my name. The food took the 10 mins they promised and meals are made when ordered. It was reasonably priced and deeeelicious!! I had a chicken gyro w fries, 10/10. The worker seen me looking at menu confused bc i didn't get a drink with my meal and offered to clarify AND give me a menu for future reference. The next day I called in, gave my name and he remembered me. I ordered the chilly philly which was even better than the gyro. He offered to let me sample some garlic fries my next visit. I'll definitely be back! I decided to dine in my 2nd visit so I could stare at the handsome men working read more

This place has easily the best fast food in the area. The owner and his son are good folks, and treat everyone with respect. The dining area is usually packed during the lunch hour with middle class, blue collar people from the area. One of the the hidden jewels about this place is the salads. They have a great Chicken Caesar Salad, and an even better Julian Salad. read more

Get the gymshoe sandwich. One of Chicago's best secret sandwiches (google it)and they do it perfectly. The owners son is awesome, he will have them make your food exactly as you like it and,the staff is always welcoming and polite. Don't let the location scare you. Check out this gem of a sandwich joint!!! read more

Great fresh food fast. The customer service is really good too. I'm a fan of the Greek salad with chicken; just wished they would use pitted calamata olives instead of those with the seeds. Ciao read more

I ordered the Italian Beef meal. Worst sandwich I ever had. The bread felt almost fake. And the beef was not fresh at all. Probably say in the fridge till ordered then they microwave it. Absolutely tasteless. With that said.... DONT GET THE BEEF. read more

Good food, good customer service, and reasonable prices. Big props to the owner for not jacking up prices during the pandemic. I usually get the gyro plate, very good and even comes with feta cheese. read more

Great Gyros,Submarine and Burgers you'll never be let down with there food; fast and fresh.

Just great food! I get it when I'm passing through!!! Food is alway good clean and fresh, never disappoints

The garlic fries!!!! The pizza puffs! I called in order about 45 min before they closed, and was very accommodating on the phone and pleasant. Food was very well cooked and piping hot when we got home about 7min away from home. Even the leftover cooked up well! read more

What can I say, I totally love this place! The employees are always with a positive attitude and treat everyone with respect. And the food is great I've been coming to this place for a while and they have never let me down! read more

Really don't like the food that much. It's not hot and doesn't taste so great. My tacos were slightly cold and the gyro fries are bland. The taste isn't all that but it's very clean inside and fast service I can say. Me personally I will not be returning. read more

Best gyros in the area and really good fries! Prices are average and the staff is very warm! My fiance works in the area and calls me everytime he wants his gyro fix! Needless to say they know him well! read more

Good food, tasty navy bean soup, & even better garlic fries! They've always gotten my order right, never have to wait long, & they're all polite & friendly. Definitely the best "greasy food joint" in Harvey! read more

The food and people are great here! I gave a 3 since the only thing on the menu I will not eat again is the Italian Beef. Ordered a Combo and the Italian Beef was old, tasted funky. But everything else is good!! read more

This place has been totally remodeled. I don't know if its under new management or the sons to come over for the father but the food is great the updated the menu. I'm at work a fan and their tortas are excellent and you can see the avocado in it smooth as silk. Everything I've had here so far has been good no complaints. read more

Was passing through the area, and wanted to grab something quick for lunch. Found this place & ran in. Ordered the 'junior gyro' (or 'gyro jr'?). Anyway, it was SO GOOD. Was not really expecting it to be that delicious. It's all in the bread. And their bread was amazing. It wasn't just pita, and I wish I could describe it better that amazing. But that's all I got right now. Oh, and FAST! read more

I usually go to Alpha Gyros twice month for a meal, but today I was disappointed. I always order a gyro plate with lettuce, cheese and mild sauce, the gyro meat fried around the edges, with salt and pepper on the fries. Today my meal was NOT how I expected. A portion of the gyro meat had been fried, the lettuce and cheese were put in a separate bag instead of inside the tray with the gyro meat, the feta cheese was melting under the tomato slices, I asked for salt and pepper on the fries and instead of putting it on them, the cashier just pointed to the salt and pepper packs that were on the counter and the fries were hard and crunchy (burned). I'll be glad when the guy with the curly hair (I assume he is the manager or the owner) comes back and put some order in there because the cashiers and cooks did not know what they were doing. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Harvey serious hands down they are flawless and I'm letting it be known

I always order the garlic fries yumm yumm . They accept cash and credit . They do accept phone orders as well no complaints

Hubby and I've been coming here for a couple of years now. We'd passed it several times over the years we've lived in the area and finally decided to try it. SO very glad we did! Upon entering, we noticed the color scheme similar to a favorite place in Blue Island, T & G Gyros. It's no wonder, it's owned by the same family. In any case, we've never had a bad meal from here. Chicken pita, grilled chicken salad, gyros, Italian beef and/or sausage, Big Baby cheeseburgers with bacon, foot-long Polish sausage, fish sandwich, whole chicken wings with their homemade buffalo wing sauce and easy lemon pepper (fabulous!), grilled cheese with bacon and finally, last night, tried their combo sub sandwich with beef and turkey. Wonderful. Everything is always so fresh and so good! Something else to know: their customer service is great! Tommy and his son, Jimmy, cashiers Toya, Tyra, etc., always make us feel welcome and valued. If there's a mistake in an order, they'll make it right. Whether you're passing through or live nearby, we highly recommend Alpha Gyros for a meal that satisfies. read more
