    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!!!

    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.

    It is a great fast food establishment. The staff are friendly and helpful. The manager Ken goes above and beyond. The portions of food are generous and they won't disappoint. If you have a big appetite try out the "Football gyro."

It was HOT AS BALLS out, and the big garage doors were open meaning the whole space was sweaty. No. We had the short rib hummus (100/10), whipped ricotta (10/10), Greek salad (8/10) and various mains. Everything really seemed fresh and flavors are in point. Service was absolutely great - very attentive. The fact that he looked like Chris Isaak - bonus points.

I had the freeda vita I really liked that it was refreshing and great for a hot day. I also had a expresso martini but it was not as good as some other local restaurants in the area. Our favorite dishes were the green chili shrimp, whipped feta and garlic hummus. The falafel and taziki was good. The beef and lamb kabob was dry the rice was delicious. I think the dips could be better if they had crispy pita bread or chips vs soft pita we needed texture. The sticky date cake was burnt at the bottom. Had a bad taste. The short ribs were just okay. The ambiance was okay I didnt like the music and it was just super loud. Overall I al happy I tried it but will likely not go back. They also charged us for a birthday dessert which I wasn't expecting. The waiter was not excellent he was pretty average didnt do anything to wow me.

Every single item on it was delicious and had me excited for the rest of the meal. We also had the gnocchi, which was surprisingly great since I'm not usually a gnocchi person. The duck was the star for me - perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. It was also a generous portion and definitely filling. Highly recommend if you're in Chicago. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in town!

I was excited to come here…read moreand had very high expectations, but unfortunately the food was extremely disappointing. Let's start from the beginning: the bone marrow. What on earth was going on? Why would you cover bone marrow with fig, bacon, and so much cilantro? Bone marrow is a delicate dish. You are supposed to taste the richness and subtle flavor of the marrow itself. The cilantro completely overpowered it, and the fig and bacon made it even worse. Chef, where did you train? This dish made no sense. Then came the agnolotti. I have no words. Just look at the photo: full of oil. I mean completely swimming in oil. Then the chitarra with seafood. Horrible. Spicy for no reason. Again, why are you trying to cover the ingredients instead of letting them speak for themselves? Also, the fish tasted frozen, not fresh. The pork belly, supposedly the signature dish, was another disappointment. Again, so much sauce that the actual flavor of the pork belly was completely lost. The staff were nice, the ambiance was okay, and the wine selection was good. But please, stop covering the taste of the food you cook. If you need to hide the ingredients under excessive sauce, spice, cilantro, oil, bacon, or sweetness, the only explanation is that the ingredients are not good enough on their own. I will not be coming back. Not even for free. Sorry. PS. Why so much bread on each dish? So much buttery horrible bread that you will trash, because it's impossible to eat all of it.

Nothing really went together and it was warm, which didn't make sense and made it worse. The steak was cooked how I asked, but the sauce was extremely oily and had this strange burnt flavor which likely was from the onions? The onions were extremely burnt, nothing like a typical caramelized delish onion. The chicken had the same issue, everything had that same burnt tasting oil and the chilies sitting in it just made it more intense. It was honestly just edible and nothing I would come back for or recommend. I love middle eastern food and know that even with a midwestern there are some considerations to take with the flavor profile but the burnt onions, burnt spicy oil in the chicken, and a warm salad are all indications for poor execution. As for the actual ambiance and experience it was my birthday and there was no acknowledgment at all not even someone to check in on whether the food was okay. I did not want to order a dessert after the salad, steak, and shawarma all missing the mark. The seating was very uncomfortable. It is cramped and communal and at this price point I expected a much better experience. Will admit I should have looked into the actual dining set up before booking a late night reservation but even still there are so many better places in Chicago where you can get better food and actually feel comfortable. Overall it just was not worth it. I would not return or recommend this spot.
