I decided to try the $12 lunch special, which came with fries and a drink. With tax, my total was only about $13--definitely a great deal!

For to-go orders, you can choose from bottled drinks and soft drinks. If you're dining in, they also have specialty teas and other drink options. They even offer beer for those who are interested. They also have a Buy One, Get One Free special, so definitely check out their current promotions on the Uber app. You can order for pickup or dine-in, making it super convenient. The only complaint for to go order is to make sure that the fries are made very last to avoid the fries from getting so soggy Overall, a nice lunch option, especially if you're working nearby and looking for something affordable and convenient. Definitely check them out while these specials are going on!

We used to love coming to this place but lately the gyro meat has been very dry or over seasoned and the pita's have been crunchy or stale. Sad because the food was so much better about six months ago. If you don't add a tip to your order when you pay the cashier before your food is ready they snub you and call out your order after it has been sitting in the window instead of bringing it over to your table. I think that if you are going to bring food out to one table you should do it for all tip or not that is just hospitality. Sadly the cashier doesn't even think that if she were to bring the food out we would have tipped her upon leaving after receiving the service. read more

I have eaten in the restaurant several times and was impressed with the food and service; so much so that I have been willing to pay the extra fees for delivery a couple of times. The Delivery was a little slow both times and they fries showed up cold. I don't expect great delivery from this type of place and I am not sure if they are using a third party service, if so I recommend they find a new service. Updated 3/24/2016 I have since ordered delivery several times from Chicago Gyros and receive excellent service and food. They have also recently expanded there building which provides for a better atmosphere. I loved this place. Updated from 4 to 5 stars! read more

I'm very havppy to share my discovery of this great place called Chicago Gyros tucked in a small plaza. It's a Greek and Chicago Style Eatery. I love their Authentic Gyros Pita and Marinated Chicken and Steak Pitas, Greek Salad has this unique taste and zing to it. I think it's the Dressing. Their Vienna Italian Beef and Chicago Style Hot Dog truly remind me of Chicago. I like the interior decoration and atmosphere, just like back in the East and the Mediterranean.

I've been a fan and a customer of Chicago Gyros for a decade or more, but today, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, (wearing masks in public is REQUIRED in Maricopa County), the counter person and people picking up carry out orders had no masks. The sign on their door says masks required, but not only to they not enforce this rule, their own employees do not follow the law. This is completely unacceptable. read more

Service: The young woman working the register also cleans up the tables, which we didnt know. So I guess when she flips the pad for a tip, keep that in mind.
