I tried the lamb bowl with covo sauce and the cilantro one. This might have been the best tasting fast casual meal of my life. Absolutely outstanding flavor. Very friendly and helpful service. And awesome prices especially considering the large serving size. I will definitely be back. read more

Surprisingly good drunk food? Got a bowl with chicken 'yeero' meat and toppings (lettuce, feta, red onion, kalamatas, tzatziki, peppers, sun dried tomatoes). It was a ton of food! Couldn't even come close to finishing it. As someone with a greek mother I can be quite picky on the topic, and I'll admit that nothing was really great, but all together I was content given the circumstances. The tzatziki didn't have a ton of flavor, and the meat was a bit drab, but think of this place as like a greek Chipotle and you'll be content. It's not traditional, but it's fast and relatively healthy and there were a lot of options for toppings. Cheap too! read more

Covo - Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

This place is decent. They give you big portions at reasonable prices imo. The Bowl for example is $8.75. As far as the different skewered meats they offer beef & lamb, gyros, chicken, and picantico pork (slighty spicy). You can get bowl, salad, w/pita, or plate. The pork is the best hands down the rest only taste ok and just ok, is not ok. You get a variety of toppings and several different sauces like traditional tzatziki sauce. All added for free. The French fries our great. Fresh cut potatoes. I've done the burger, its a heart attack waiting to happen, it's not bad. It's to much for me, it's just ok some might like it. The skirt steak is a little bland. I generally come here once a month or so. I would reccomend coming here. read more

Always enjoyed this place locally. Had a craving for a gyro and went this late afternoon. Not sure what's up. Food was not prepped and service terribly slow. read more

What happened to the spicy pork? I loved covo and would always get the spicy pork bowl but saw it was off the menu. Super saddened to see it gone. I got the steak and it was OK but the pork was so tender and seasoned perfect. read more

I've been a lover of Greek food all of my life and this is not it. Commercial quality not authentic. Liked the location better when it was a 5 Guys ! read more

We have been enjoying Covo since they opened few years ago. Their fresh veggie and protein toppings for Greek street beef&lamb Yeeros are delicious, and far better and fresher tasting than other gyros elsewhere. My wife is celiac and she appreciate the gluten-free pita ($2), and she has never gotten ill (sick from contamination) eating here. The manager is fantastic making her GF pita. So glad to see them survive the pandemic and come back to life in a safe manner. I work at a hospital and appreciate the hard work to get COVID precautions working in this ever evolving pandemic. read more

Ever since I tried their pita yeero and loved it. I've been back for more. Today I went in and wanted to try their ribs and they "weren't available" the gentleman mentioned. So I opted for a bowl with salmon souvlaki. Which had a very thin bed of rice and fresh toppings; well the guys serving my toppings totally skimped me. I was totally disappointed and still hungry finishing my meal. Management should address portions. read more

Covo - Bowl of souvlaki salmon - Mediterranean Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

The food is good, although with raised post COVID pricing I would argue that the value just isn't there anymore. The reason for the bad review isn't food related. Last night I went to use a COVO gift card purchased by my in laws at the Bolingbrook location in 2021 (I had the receipts with me). The gift card initially scanned as "not valid at this store" so I had the employee call a manager. They tried to say that the gift card was expired, which is illegal per the link below. They then tried to offer me a discount while still saying the gift card was invalid. I held my ground and they eventually caved, but as a matter of principal I won't be returning after years of being a customer and recommending them to people. They should not be selling gift cards if they will not honor them. https://www.illinoislegalaid.org/legal-information/do-gift-cards-or-gift-certificates-expire read more

Some of the best Greek food I've ever had and at a good price! Meat is straight off the spit. Sides are amazing. Make sure you try the fiery feta dip...it makes a great flavor add to ANYTHING. We got there around 7:45 and were told we could only get it to-go even though they are open til 9. So go early if you want to dine in! read more

Randomly drove by and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. I had the skepasti with beef and lamb. The quality of the beef/lamb gyro meat was superb. Crispy and juicy, full of flavor. Literally the best gyro meat I've ever had. Was served pretty quickly despite having a few people ahead of me (one placing 4 separate orders). The restaurant was clean and smelled good. Would definitely return read more

Service is slow but the food is always great and with heavy portions. Not a place to go if you are in a rush. Best for door dash or if you aren't in a rush read more

It's a good alternative if you can't make it to Greektown. Fast service, reasonable pricing.

Got sick after eating here. Ate here with a friend and we both were sick after eating here. The soup was water. We both ate the beef. I had the pita and she got the plate with the Greek yogurt which taste read more

Food was absolutely amazing!!!! Stopped in for a quick lunch and COVO did not disappoint. All of the toppings were fresh and meat (beef/lamb mix) was seasoned to perfection. The staff was super nice and accommodating with assisting with ordering and suggesting some of their most popular items. I must say this is the best gyro that I've had so far in the Chicagoland suburbs. The flavor again was amazing and the portion size was huge! It's definitely a shareable size amount of food. The restaurant is at the end of a strip mall so I can see parking being a bit hectic depending on the time that you go with more customers. Definitely a place that I will be back to when in the area. read more

Good food. It feels mix between Chipotle and Mediterranean food. Chicken Bowl is good. Shwarma style chicken that comes withe chicken bowl is bland and does not have taste. You need to add lot of sauce to dish to give it a good taste. I tried all four sauces and they are unique flavors. Try them all. :) Service and staff was good and polite read more

Food and service has gone down hill. Not sure if they're even Greek. Not that it matters but the food is not really Greek to me. The best dish they had they don't even sell anymore: not sure what happen. It was ok, for like the 1st year than.... read more

Covo is a great spot in Bolingbrook. Think more like the Chipotle of Greek food. There are options for bowls, salads, dinner plates. You pick which meat you want, you can add whatever toppings you want, and you can pick different sides to complete your meal. There's also delicious soup and pita and saganaki...-you get the idea. I like the many different protein choices. The meat is seasoned very well and it is cut off of the spit once you order. The toppings are fresh and it's always great when you can find a place that has sun dried tomatoes and feta. Service is pretty quick and the restaurant itself is nice and clean. There is also a small patio you can sit on when the weather is nice. Covo is a bit more expensive than Chipotle, I would say. But if you want a quick Mediterranean option, than Covo is a great place to stop in. Also, they have a rewards program-you don't even need a card. Just input a one-time generated code into your phone, and the program tracks it all for you. So yeah-I like Covo-it's a'ok in my book. read more

I've eaten here a few times before. The service is always decent, but I came in today and was quite disappointed to see that despite it being a half hour past their posted opening time, the doors were still locked and the employees inside neglected to open the door or explain the closure. read more

I'm not going to lie, this place has gone downhill since we first went. If you go here in person, your results may vary, but DO NOT order for delivery. We've had mistakes several times (wrong ingredients put into bowl, paid more for extra meat in one bowl and saw no difference), and definitely don't get the "Greek fries", as it's just French fries (no spices, no lemon, no feta). Their sauce is fine, but they definitely do not put enough on. For those who say, "This is the best Greek food I've had!" I'm assuming this is the first Greek restaurant you've been to, because there are definitely better and more consistent places (try Apolis in Lisle). read more

I've been coming to Covo for a long time and have always loved the food. However, I'm not sure if there was a change in ownership or suppliers, but I picked up takeout today and the food was literally inedible. I got a chicken gyro bowl with a side hummus cup. The chicken was grey and had a mealy texture and had no seasoning. The rice was flavorless and overcooked. The hummus, if I can call it that, was straight up mashed chickpeas with no seasoning and a rough texture. Literally nothing was seasoned. I picked out all the chicken in hopes of at least eating part of the bowl, but it was all around so bad I ended up throwing the entire thing in the trash. Complete waste of money and it was honestly so bad that I won't be returning. The prices are too high to gamble with the potential to get a dish this foul. I've recommended this place multiple times and order at least once a month so something major has changed for the worse so this will be my last Covo order. read more

Went today at noon. Empty, filthy, lack of choices and greasy gross. Avoid this place.

Went with my fiancée to buy a salad which she buys every week , the guy that served her it's either the manager or owner . A tall Heavy set guy , was there at around 8pm . My fiancée orders her salad and this guy first off seems like he is in a bad attitude or having a bad day every single time we go there . My fiancée simply asked him to use the spoon as they always do to add the feta cheese to salad , this guy basically grabbed every single ingredient with his hands . Every other time my fiancée has ordered this salad it's always been made using the utensils they have . My fiancée simply asked him if he can please use the utensils to make her salad as they have always done in past , and the Guy might have take it personal or been having another bad day I suppose that he refused to serve my fiancée and told her to take her business elsewhere. All simply for asking to properly make the salad using utensils and not his hands to make it . My fiancée simply gets the same exact salad every week from there but since he refused service for his attitude now we will take our business elsewhere, if he is just an employee there I hope the owner talks to him about customer service, all that was asked of him was to use utensils. If he is the owner then good sanitation would help out because if the health department catches you doing that then if a big ding ! Good luck read more

Covo is the best greek place i've tried. Seating is comfortable, you set up for ordering is super easy espeshailly for new customers. And there are options for everyone. I prefer the chicken rice bowl, you have to get tzatziki sauce too! read more

The yeero (gyro) my nephew ordered was cold. The fries were greasy, limp and cold. I usually love saganaki. This saganaki was SUPER salty, prepared on a grill with no taste of wine The soup tasted like water. I can see slices of carrot and bits of celery and chicken but their flavor was not present. And on top of that my table was sticky. What's the point of complaining to the manager when everything is wrong? I won't be back. read more

Absolutely horrid customer service and the employees that take the orders and make the food are nasty and rude. I will not be coming back!! There's no management on site to seek a resolution. read more

I have a food allergy. Because of that, I'm careful about what I order. I asked the manager if there was any spice at all on the chicken. He replied, "No, no spice on the chicken." When I started to eat the chicken, I immediately had a reaction typical of the spice to which I'm allergic. I went back up to the manager and asked him, "what's on the chicken?" He replied, "Tomato paste, and spices, and..." I stopped him right there. I said, "You told me there was no spice at all, now you're telling me there is?" "Yes, but there isn't very much spice," was his answer. Fortunately, I was able to get home in time and take my medicine before the reaction got worse. I do not believe that any restaurant manager that plays loose with allergies may also play loose with other critical aspects of his restaurant. He didn't even offer to make me a different entree or refund my money. read more

I love Greek food and familiar with the flavors. I went in tonight with my daughter and she got a chicken bowl, I got the same up upgraded to the chicken souvlaki and at the last minute decided on the saganaki. The bill was just under 30.00 but nothing one would'nt expect with good Greek food. I was so excited to find them and told her that I wanted to try the skirt steak meal on my next visit. First the saganaki was probably one of the worse I've ever had, it was blah at best and hard. I actually forgave it as it was a 6 minute ride home and I told my daughter, whom I bragged as to how good it usually is, that maybe we should have eaten it there while hot and soft. However after attacking my dinner, I actually stopped and asked my daughter if she thought her tzatiki sauce tasted a little soapy. She said it wasn't great but not sure she tasted soap. However after eating a few more minutes trying to give our meals a chance, we both agreed the chicken was tough and the meals that should have been filled with amazing flavors were bland and flavorless to the point neither of us continued eating. The remainder of two almost full meals and half the saganaki ended up in the trash can. I ended up opening a can of soup. I was so disheartened find it so displeasing. Thought I had found my new favorite spot but so utterly disappointed to have literally tossed 30.00 in the trash. On a positive note the staff was friendly. read more

Great food every time my daughter and I go!! Staff is always friendly! Service is fast and restaurant is always clean! Highly recommend. read more

This is my first visit to Covo, I was looking for a traditional Gyro wrap, and came away disappointed. The wrap was small and instead of the "traditional lamb and beef off the rotating Gyro meat that we see In almost all food places serving Gyro wraps it had chucks of steak and lamb. The meat was tough and the sauce was not again the normal tasty traditional tzatziki sauce I/one would expect. It didn't taste terrible, but it didn't satisfy my longing for a good Gyro wrap. read more

Terrible food. Not what it used to be, service very slow. ambiance none, completely empty for a reason

Covo - COVO GREEK STREET FOOD - Mediterranean Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

This place is so fantastic. I usually get a salad and it's pretty much two meals worth. My only complaint is that the gyro meat is typically a little greasy. This is to be expected of course but other places know how to make it a "healthier". Again, food is great and a little grease won't be turnin' me away! Do yourself a favor and get the spanikopita. Yummm read more

Covo makes really delicious Greek style food! It's one of the only fast casual spots that actually has flavor. I love getting their chicken dinner with the lemony Greek potatoes, and their green sauce is super tasty. Only complaint is the service - they do not greet you when you walk in and it takes a while to get their attention.. Hope they work on it because their food overall is delicious. read more

Best place to get your breakfast, lunch and dinner, don't worry about the prices, good price for very good food. Very tasty and healthy food, nice and very friendly service! I'm happy that I found this place!!! read more

Lamb gyro tasted like roast beef, no traditional gyro taste, meat was chopped too thin, the sides were bland, the cucumber sauce was Wishbone salad dressing. the takeout desert was tiny. The place was understaffed, and the staff was not very enthusiastic. The hummus was thin and tasteless, and the pita chips were cold and stale. We will never eat there again, especially after the $52 bill for 2 people. read more

Everybody is a critic and especially in Bolingcrook- I mean Bolingbrook... where your choices are super limited to tacos or fast food. Now don't get me wrong I absolutely love tacos but it's so nice to see a place that isn't another chipotle, McDonald's, five guys, Panda Express or Mexican joint. Walking in with a warm welcome and options is my kind of place. I'm so tired of only being able to create a bowl or burrito with the same crap - since everyone is comparing this to chipotle ... which btw is absolutely a disgusting place... it carries the concept of chipotle but with way better quality and selection. (They aren't selling Mexican food here, they are selling Greek food people)... Anyway, I ordered a salad bowl and topped it with everything like mango Greek salsa, olives, veggies galore and feta.... I even ordered a salmon- yes, salmon- freshly grilled on top. It was divinely delicious and not too much or not too little. The fact I can order a little vino or IPA with my meal really makes this place special. Yes, I know you can do this at other places but Greek food is a great mate to booze. This place is my new favorite and a good pace away from the hustle and bustle of fast food, robotic workers and tired menus. It's unique and I'm sure they will have their off days but it's truly a dedicated restaurant looking to stand out. Side note: to all the sheltered people living here in the states .... places like this exist all over Europe.... you'll surprise yourself of actually eating some pretty awesome, non greasy fast food. You'll be able to try new things and voice your opinion to change it - you'll probably live a little too. Keep up the good work, super cleanliness and dedication Covo.... some people can't always appreciate the good that comes into their small towns! read more

This place has very good food, its very interesting how you can choose all your own foods your the designer of the meal, the cucumber and onion salad was very tasty, my lamb and beef had good flavor especially with onions and feta cheese, beer and wine is also served, so give Covo a try you will be disappointed, the staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

Covo - Covo Greek street food - Mediterranean Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

Let me just preface this review by saying, fast and easy has become a part of American food culture. We expect things to come quickly and cheaply, and we forget about quality. Fortunately, COVO has not forgotten about quality. Although the appearance of COVO is one such as Chipotle, a food assembly line, I think COVO holds ups pretty well as it's own. There were many choices of different food options as we a bar of fresh ingredients. I chose to go with a lamb/beef "Yeero Bowl". I must say I was impressed how well the food was seasoned and how crisp and fresh the ingredients were. However, we have to remind ourselves there are draw backs to the being quick and easy. For example, the gyro meat was already getting dry because it was prepped and put in warmer. The meat was seasoned well and tasted good, but when put in a container of course, it will dry a bit. Let's also not kid ourselves here. Our expectation for the food in a small suburb can't be compared to say the food we'd expect to get in Greektown. Everything tasted good, and the condiments were fresh, but it's not life changing. It's well prepared food you can grab really quickly, or temporarily satiate a craving for authentic Greek food. The food doesn't blow you away, but it is a great quick option that can help break the monotony of the daily routine. And all in all, the food is quality food that won't break the bank, and for my money it's much better than the alternative drive thru cheeseburger. Side Note: They serve wine and craft beer, doesn't that always make things just a tad bit better? read more
