We've gotten takeout from here a few times now and the food never disappoints. It's a typical around the corner Greek place, nothing special or out of the ordinary. But when you're craving a gyro, you can be sure they'll deliver. They do have space inside to dine in but I rarely see anyone there. Great takeout spot! read more

Good spot for a quick meal. Big portion size, nice staff. The inside was clean. I got the gyro plate that was pretty good. read more

We were working Open House Chicago last Saturday (October 19th) and my wife picked this place out to have lunch at. We walked in around 12:30 on a Saturday and the place was pretty quiet. After a minute to review the menu, we both went with the Gyro Sandwich combo, which came with fries and a fountain drink. We noticed the gyro machines in the back area (two of them) loaded with delicious Gyro meat, which sealed the deal! The sandwiches were FULL with gyro meat. I mean so full, you couldn't close the sandwich to eat it. They provided a fork with each gyro and we had to eat some gyro meat off the sides and middle. The fries were outstanding. Nice, soo hot, and well-salted. Taste them before you add ANY salt. The gyros were tasty. The gyro meat was very thinly sliced, I like it better when it's not sliced so thin as it dries out slower if it is thick sliced. It still tasted good. They have one bathroom (to the left of the counter, go back and you'll find it) and it was clean and smelled good. On the inside, you have massive menu boards with pricing, and what I call the "obligatory" mural on the wall depicting the scenery of Greece. What's not to like? read more

When I was visiting Chicago, I was in the mood for Greek food for dinner. I found this place via Yelp. I ended up getting the gyro plate ($15.49) which was really good and very filling. Also got a Mexican Coke ($2.97). I would def recommend the Greek Corner if you're in the mood for Greek food. * Fair prices * Outdoor dining available * Street parking read more

Subject: Profiled and Dismissed due to "Management Excuses" I had a deeply disappointing experience here that highlighted a major lack of professional communication and training. I was attempting to use tap-to-pay technology for a research project, which should have been a standard transaction. Instead, I was met with immediate suspicion and hostility. When I tried to resolve the issue with the manager, I was told that the restaurant has had "over 100 incidents" regarding credit card issues and that there is an "ongoing investigation" into past activity. While I understand a business needing to be cautious, the management used these past problems as an excuse to profile me and justify their staff's rude behavior. It felt like they were dumping all of their past frustrations onto me rather than addressing the specific misunderstanding at hand. The goalposts kept moving: First, they didn't understand the digital/corporate card technology. Then, they refused to provide the food or a refund until the police were involved. Finally, the manager stayed focused on their past "incidents" rather than admitting their staff overreacted and lacked the English proficiency to handle a simple explanation. The owner and manager seem to prefer making excuses rather than training their staff on how to handle modern payment methods or basic conflict resolution. There is a significant communication barrier here, and their "defensive" posture makes for a very unwelcoming environment. I was trying to be positive and helpful, but they were simply unable or unwilling to see past their own internal issues. read more

It pains me to write this. The food here is delicious. I've been coming since I moved to my place nearly 10 years ago. This review is about truly horrible customer service. And it's their right to offer horrible service. Last week my boyfriend and I ordered our dinner for pickup. We decided to take our two dogs for a walk before picking up. I left my phone at home. The walk got away from us. Thirty minutes turned into 45...which didn't seem like a big deal since it's our food that was impacted and we weren't worried about it. We walked over to pick it up and saw that the restaurant closed about 45 minutes early. I figured, an emergency must have happened, no worries. I returned home (I live around the corner). I had three missed calls telling me they were going to wait a few more minutes for me and then close up. I'm not mad that they closed early. The reason is none of my business and I'm understanding. What's upsetting is, when we called they had zero understanding for us. They were immediately defensive with my boyfriend. They said they have a "policy" to only allow 30 minutes for someone to pick up their food. I've looked, I've seen this posted exactly nowhere. They did acknowledge closing nearly an hour early and said, "we took pictures." I'm still not sure what this means. I wasn't asking for my money back, I just wanted to pick up the same order a different day. My family owns two small restaurants in the city. I'm familiar with the business model. I'm sad that a business that I'd come to love and depend on was so dismissive and disinvested in their repeat customer. There are other solid restaurants close by that won't dismiss you or fail to acknowledge the customer experience. read more

Heard lots of good things about this place but was still unsure about it. It's a pretty crummy looking place from the outside. Greek Corner is better than it looks. One thing about is that it's not just another one of those greasy places for gyros and meats. There's actually a few healthier items such as veggie burgers and stuff. After giving this place a chance, we were glad we did it. It's located close to Black Dog Gelato so we see this place a lot. This was the first time eating here though. It's not big but has a few tables inside. Pretty good prices for the portions. It's about $13 for a combo. The #7 Combo is a Black Bean Burger with a drink and fries. Comes with a secret sauce, which I left off, but this is kind of like tzatziki it appears. She said it wasn't and it sucked though. We each got the rest of the toppings including the standard lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. Burgers were cooked pretty good. There's no need to cook bean based burgers long and these were almost perfect. Good except for the nasty sauce they put on everything. It should be left off for sure. There's plenty of good options for those looking for something greasy, and there's a couple burgers for vegetarians. read more

I've been here a handful of times over the last several years, and apparantely there's a new owner who assumed the business around five years ago: he's a miserable, rude guy. I stopped in for a simple gyro for lunch and there were a couple of ladies who just finished ordering in front of me; that's it, no one else (a few more people came in later on). I asked the cook/owner if the original Greek guy still owned the shop and in the most unfriendly way, he responded "this isn't a 'shop'". Ok, "restaurant" I said. He mumbled that he sold it about five years ago. After a minute standing at the counter with him (while he mostly ignored me and sort of cooked), he asked if I wanted to order something. I responded, "yes, just a gyro sandwich please." He then told me to wait in line and that the line was over there, pointing in front of the register--2-3 steps over at the front counter. Really?! I'm the last guy who just walked in and the two ladies finished at the register. Isn't it obvious I was next and waiting to order? There was a women at the register (his wife?) too who wasn't very helpful or pleasant (though not as bad as the cook/owner). A couple of guys were delivering food supplies to the "restaurant" at that time too and I observed the cook/owner scolding and being rude to one of the delivery guys. I always enjoyed the gyro sandwich and salads with grilled chicken here, especially when it was a bargain at $6 (eventually inching up to $7; now it's $10). The food is still pretty good (4/5), but not longer a deal. It's not worth supporting a business like this if this is the kind of disrepect they have for customers. The owner could have been inviting and nice, but instead decided to be grumpy, petty, and rude to a paying customer. read more

Absolute gem of a place. Great food, great people, GREAT fries. Ask for them extra crispy thank me later

Didn't plan on coming here but happy that we did. Food was tasty and surprisingly fresh. Restaurant was clean and had good vibes, & workers were very kind. Definitely recommend for lunch, especially when their patio is open read more

Greek Corner - Gyro Sandwich Combo Spanakopita Plate - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

OK YUM. Say hello to my new staple. This is a tiny little place on the corner of Damen that I probably wouldn't even have tried if I didn't pass it every day going home from work and saw it on Chicago foodies page. But it was amazing! I got a takeout deal from GrubHub so it was $17 for all of this. I set my order time for 7 PM but know better and showed up around 650 and it was piping hot. I double checked all my food and when I opened the container steam came barreling out so I knew the food was fresh. I ordered the chicken souvlaki skewer plate and added a side of the chicken Gyro meat. The plate came with rice, a cucumber tomato salad, two skewers, a large pita bread, and a side of tzatziki. I also added the jalapeño tzatziki and a side of hummus. Both completely necessary! I've never seen jalapeño tzatziki before but it was amazing... But it's hot so be warned. Everything was seriously five out of five. The best pita, tzatziki, and gyro I've had in the city. The rice wasn't super impressive on its own but was the perfect vessel for the chicken. I will definitely be back! read more

I had such high hopes for this restaurant. I saw a TikTok that said the food here was delicious. I'm not sure what happened the day I arrived but the food was horrible. $30 plus dollars for some dried gyro and Philly meat was horrible. It tasted like cardboard board it was so dry and hard. I'm not sure what kind of meat they used but it was very thin, dry and tasteless. The lady at the register was so polite and nice but the prices they're charging for their sandwiches is absurd for the taste. It's a no for me! read more

I was craving a gyro for lunch and found Greek Corner on UberEats. I ordered their classic gyro sandwich and greek fries. I enjoyed the fries quite a bit. I thought the feta cheese gave them a really nice flavor. They even passed the re-heat test later on that evening since the order was so large. Admittedly I've had better gyros, but for the price you can't really go wrong if you have a craving. I didn't like how I needed to purchase extra tzatziki, was kind of hoping that would just come on the side. But in retrospect I didn't really need it, the sandwich had plenty on it. Will most likely order it again! read more

The avgolemono is the best I've ever had!!! I'm obsessed. I also like the veggie pita!

I ordered a gyro at 5:30. One wolf think good would be fresh. Absolutely not. Dried meat and stale pita on a order of gyro sandwich. One would think folks picking a bite to eat from dinner at this time would be fresh. Very much on the contrary. read more

Solid takeout Greek food. Large quantities and good quality. Both the gyro and chicken plates were great. Both come with fries (I opted for rice instead), small salad, and large pita. We always look for spanakopita too and often times we don't order enough. This spanakopita is the size of a hot pocket! We ordered one per person and have leftovers. read more

Great place, fast service, not a bad thing on the menu. Our favorites include the chicken and the patty melt. The gyros is also, as one would think, excellent. Even the non-greek food like the patty melt and burger are good choices. The one downside is that the drive-thru is terrible. read more

I came to this restaurant as a kid and recently returned. It's still amazing! I love the range of food items and combinations you can get. The gyro and chicken gyro are amazing and pair well with pita, salad, and fries. This is a relaxed no frills restaurant that you don't come to for fancy décor. Staff are friendly. read more

Inexpensive, top quality, and those potatoes are something from the greek gods. Literally, the only bad thing about this place is that they are closed on Sunday, because I really wanted a Grecian chicken plate today. This is possibly one of the most underrated restaurants in the area. It still has a mom and pop vibe and the food is phenomenal. All too often I crave the Grecian chicken plate. I dream about those greek potatoes, and I don't know of any budget-friendly place serving up roasted potatoes this well. The chicken is amazing, but even that comes second to those potatoes. I wish them the best of success, and I hope they stay in the area for many years to come. BYOB read more

The gyro sandwich came just with cheap sour cream, with maybe a touch of cucumber but it was a just a touch. It was not tzatziki sauce in any way, shape or form. No yogurt, garlic, nor herbs. But they insisted it was tzatziki. So the sandwich was unsatisfactory. The fries were very good. read more

I had gone by this place dozens and dozens of times and didn't think much of it. With Covid we've been wanting to support local so decided to patronize. So glad we did. It's now one of my favorites and a go-to. The Spartan chicken wrap is fresh and the spinach pie wonderful. read more

Followed a gyro hankering here and wasn't let down! I got the chicken gyro, my boyfriend got the original gyro, and we split an order of Greek fries. Portion sizes were standard for the sandwiches, and we couldn't finish the fries (pro tip: have them wrap them up for you and reheat in a frying pan on the stove later, YUM). The patio out back made this dining experience even better. Would return, especially for those sexy fries. read more

Greek Corner is not a fancy restaurant. You come here when you have a craving for gyros. It's as simple as that. The entire menu is pretty easy to process. You have lamb, chicken, beef, and vegetarian options which surround pairing them with feta, lettuce, tomato, bread and potatoes in some kind of way. I should come back for the chicken, but my loyalty to standard gyros and fries is strong when I rush any Greek restaurant. There is something about a gyros sandwich that makes me wonder why I am not eating them at least once a week. I like a side of mayo and ranch along with my tzatziki sauce, but Greek Corner does not offer them. I didn't get too worked up, but I needed an extra tzatziki for the fries. I'm not a fan of the fact that they charge for it either. The pita bread is the perfect texture: crispy on the outside, with a chewy center. The bread isn't dry and that speaks volumes when I'm missing my extra sauces. My friend had the Olympic Gyros, and I almost wish I had ordered them. It was basically the same thing I got, but everything was tossed together and served like an amped-up salad. She demolished it in no time flat. Both of us didn't really speak much while we dined. There was a 9pm closing time to consider, but we had also been drinking. Drunk munchies had taken hold of our bodies and it wasn't going away until our bellies were full. I was curious and drunk hungry, so I ordered a side of avgolemono soup. Try pronouncing that when you've been drinking. I wasn't a fan. Too much lemon zest, and the starchy flavor of the rice seemed to overpower any indication that this soup was made with chicken broth. I must say there are a few Greek-owned/operated 24-hour diners that make this soup better. I would definitely rinse the rice before cooking it, and then I would use mostly chicken broth to cook the rice and boost chicken flavor. The staff was very polite and they were accommodating to our hunger despite our late arrival. I tried to make up for it by leaving a tip. This restaurant is sparkling clean and that shows me management runs a tight ship. I can't wait to come back and try the pizza! It looks delicious. If you're in the neighborhood, don't be shy. Stop in and pick up some solid Greek food. read more

Despite the fact that this place seems to be open whenever they feel like it, they have great gyros (or gyro plate). The meat was really tender, the toppings were fresh and the tzatsiki was tasty. They have an extensive menu, but I haven't ventured beyond the gyros. The outdoor patio is fun, although it feels a bit like being in a zoo. I suppose they have to keep the gate high so no one steals their day-glo palm tree. Service is fine, but is it weird that the guy behind the counter asked me if I wanted to fill out an application? read more
