    Gyros Sandwich
    Vita P.

    First time trying Brandy's and thought it was pretty good! Ordered the gyros sandwich but the combo deal (includes fries and a drink). Gyro sandwich was a nice portion - plenty of gyro meat. Fries were excellent and fresh. I added a cup of cheese for my fries. Entire meal was a whopping $17. Although I thought the gyro snd fries were good, I felt like the cheese cup added ($2) and entire meal was a bit overpriced. I'd come back to Brandy's; they have a couple menu items that look good. Just wouldn't make it a weekly staple.

    People who ordered 12 minutes after me received their food 10-15 minutes before me.

    Walk-in / ToGo Very tense awkward energy received upon entry. Thick heaviness & apprehension as approached counter. Service Intentionally Delayed, and appeared to be entertaining the guy at the end of the prep line... Like in a mocking fashion. Apparently he was getting a funny kick out of serving everyone who placed orders after me, while a waited pleasantly & patiently. Think he wanted me to go off. Due to the surprised faces & uncomfortable eyes, I should have just left before ordering BUT I went outside to wait in my car bc I didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable with my presence. But after returning almost 10 minutes later, I was still patiently waiting for my number. 43 but saw 44 being served. He asked what number I showed him. His face was bemused as if there was a secret surprise coming. Whatever, Ok fine I'm waiting chilling & step back. Then Later numbers & people who ordered after me (even if they had 3 separate orders) were all being received. Hmm, No problem. He still side eyeing & smirking & just being too weird. But I ordered a piece of fish, so was waiting patiently. But by the time 5 numbers after me were served, then I asked about my number. Yet he was doing this non verbal head nod hand sorta almost wave in a direction while inaudibly mumbling thing to me, which SURPRISE I actually understood... but didn't know why? I was going to speak to him in Spanish to make it easy... EXCEPT Like he speak English clearly to everyone else in here tho??? Whatever, but then notice his snarky eyes & attempt to hide his amused smirks & what a great time he's trying not to look like he's having inside... I'm grown so don't give AF, except this a restaurant & you're making my food! Step back & wait bc I'm not going off about you being childish. Then he starts playing musical chairs with fry trays. There's a fresh batch that was just finished, several actually were handed out in front of me. But he wants to Re arrange all of the FRY baskets repeatedly & take a special basket with very little fries in it (1 personal size order) and put it over in the other oil THAT NOBODY WAS USING the whole time. I POLITE REFUSED THE FRIES. Since my bag of food has been sitting on the side FINALLY for several minutes. Food I DO NOT WANT A DIFFERENT FRIES FROM AN UNUSED GREASE THAT'S DARK... when I been standing here the whole time watching you hand out fresh fries & you still had some there. I PAYED 4.99 + TAX for fries I didn't get. $6.00 + Tax for a piece of the FISHIEST SMELLING TILAPIA like worse than old catfish smell... THREW INTHE GARBAGE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF DOOR BC I CANNOT HAVE MYSELF OR Vehicle STINKING LIKE THAT... it was horribly funky & I could not do it. The egg & peppers on a pita looked good. But honestly. I didn't trust nothing anymore. So ultimately paid $19 for egg on pita The last bite of my pita had a weird texture like slimy. Note there was not sauce of this dry pita & the scrambled eggs were yellow yellow & well done with some peppers cooked into them. So yah, felt worried & disgusted that I didn't just leave when the VIBE WAS NOT VIBING. Ugh Ambiance Overall = Unwelcoming. Akward. Antagonizing Clean, family friendly LOOKING / but it not. Honestly even the customers seemed shocked I was there. Excuse me for not realizing that even the children AND ADULTS worried stare like I'm literally a purple monkey. Ridiculous! I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WITH A BROWN SKIN TO TRY THEM OUT & SEE HOW WEIRDED OUT YOUR PRESENCE MAKES EVERYBODY ... only order fries & stand at the window to see it go down

    Their hotdogs are tasty enough, and I have popped in a couple of times. I see the service is usually very fast, but I have always been there during non-peak hours. There are a lot of better places to get a hotdog in Chicago, but this is right by a bus stop, so that is what has compelled me to visit when I am in the area for other reasons. While good, not really worth a special trip. They do not keep the dining area super clean, even when not busy.

    I pass this place all the time and tell myself I should try it. I end up forgetting I'm actually hungry. Honestly, I couldn't get myself to want to eat at a place called Brandy's; it sounds like a name of a bar . Anyway, I finally took the plunge tonight after a trip to Ace. I pass a driver as he exits, and he said hi and held the door. I'm not sure if he worked for them or Grubhub, but that was so nice. No one does that anymore, except me. I go in and start looking at their unexpectedly huge menu. After a minute, I get greeted by a nice cashier. I tell him that I've never been before as I try to take in everything... I found the combo menu and ordered the #1, a gyro sandwich with fries and a drink. I love gyros so that was an easy decision especially since they carve it fresh off the spit. I fill up my drink and a few minutes later my order was ready. The cook hands it to me and asks if I want napkins and ketchup. I say sure on the napkins. He hands me a bunch. The people are here super nice! I'll be a repeat customer just for that. I go home and finally get to eat. Then gyro was amazing. Not.only did they overfill with meat, it was so flavorful! The sauce was yummy. The tomato slices were thick and juicy. The fries were good too, but that gyro! I will go again and try other things. I might have to order the gyro a billion more times before I venture to another menu item though. They also have these slices of baklava the size of my foot. They were huge! I might have to try it one day when I feel like excessively cheating.

    Time to share some Nasty and Rude experience with Brandys on Harlem Ave. Bought 3 Gyros for Lunch for my boys!! Got home everyone opens up their Sandwiches One had to long hairs and one had eyelashes in it!! Called them up one lady puts me on hold and Hangs up ! I called again Manager answers and said You the one with the Hair? I said yes he then hangs up on me! 3rd call we told him no longer going there!! They are always packed with people They don't care!!! So much for supporting our local restaurants in the neighborhood!!! Grosss Place. Wasted 45.00!!!

    It's a fast casual restaurant with aa HUGE, variety of menu. You could probably find something that you may like, but I went with quesadillas because I didn't necessarily want anything fried-- not that quesadillas were any "healthier". I can see it being a great restaurant for a quick dinner after kids sports games or in between. The portion is really big compared to the price.

    Hard crusty gyros meat.

    I had to give one star to leave this review. Gyro meat was hard and crusty. Pita was dry not fresh. I called and the Greek offered to replace but argued that they do not sell dry meat or pita. Last month we got Italian sausage that obviously had been sitting out for hours. It was hard as rock. Go anywhere but here. 17 dollars for shitty food. Brandy sucks.

The moment I stepped inside, I felt like I had been transported to a small Greek taverna. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming. One of the highlights for me was being able to order and converse in Greek, it made the experience feel that much more authentic and special. Of course, I couldn't decide on just one dish, so I had to order a little bit of everything. Why not? The saganaki was absolutely delicious and is definitely a must-try. The avgolemono was decent and comforting, though it wasn't quite as memorable for me. The pastitsio was a bit of a mix. The flavor was delicious and packed with that classic Greek comfort-food goodness, but unfortunately, the béchamel was overcooked and had become too firm. Overall, between the friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and flavorful food, I had a very good experience at Greek Islands. There are still plenty of classic dishes I'd like to try, so I wouldn't hesitate to come back the next time I'm in Chicago.

Dresscode: Smart Casual / Casual Noise Level: Medium (it gets buzzy after 5:30pm) Thursday night Happy Hour was lively, so it took about 10-15 minutes for someone to come around, but service was attentive once we got going. The food is where Ēma really shines. From the Happy Hour menu, the Charred Eggplant Hummus and Crispy Potatoes were generously portioned and great for sharing. On the main menu, the Indian-Mediterranean fusion Bhel Hummus was a party for my taste buds, while the Hot Honey Halloumi and Chicken Kefta rounded out the table nicely. The halloumi is more of a side than a main, but that sweet-and-salty hot honey combo was chef's kiss. For our finisher, the Chocolate Torte knocked us out. Decadent, delicious and chocolate with lots of depth. Overall, Ēma is an excellent spot to order a bunch of dishes for the table and get an elevated meal without feeling stuffy, and delicious without taking itself too seriously. DO's: - Make a reservation ahead, especially for happy hour 4-6pm - Treat apps like small plates, order 2-3 to sample - Entertain their wine list, they have a lot! - Bring vegetarians here, there are plenty of options DON'Ts: - Dismiss the desert menu. It's fantastic and shareable! - Forget to ask for extra pita with the hummus! - Miss out on the LettuceEats loyalty points (check-in with your server before paying your check)

I ordered Prawns Saganaki and side of pita bread. Asked for no oil nor salt for the pita. While it was shown on the lunch menu on their website, the Prawns Saganaki was actually not on the lunch menu. Luckily, the kitchen has prepared it (for dinner) so I was able to try it. In total 4 pc of big shrimp, served with tomato sauce, crumbled feta and cherry tomatoes. The feta was so finely crumbled that it could easily "melt" in the sauce. The cherry tomatoes added more juiciness to it. Overall great, and definitely paired well with the pita. What made me disappointed, if not annoyed, was the check-in. I waited for nearly 6 min until someone finally noticed me. The staff said she would come "just a minute". At that time a woman (white) went into the restaurant and sat at the bar. Then she started to greet her, and discussed the menu with her, and even took the order! Looked like she completely forgot my presence. Possibly some discrimination/racism idk. i would have left if the restaurant did not charge a no-show fee for reservation. Luckily they took off the pita from my bill after I complained about the waiting time (I did not say about discrimination because I am not sure about it).
