Great gyro tons of meat and the garlic sauce they have is amazing. Staff and owner are very nice and helpful. We will be going back. They do have a lunch special for $7.49, which comes with a gyro french fries or salad and a soda. I would highly recommend this place for a quick lunch. read more

This family-run business is absolutely fantastic! Their diligent hard work at keeping this place clean, friendly, and authentic (as authentic as you'll find in the Metro-East area), is remarkable, considering they are surrounded by giant box-chain restaurants (which seem to be popular with the majority of the populace). Having lived overseas and had my share of quick ethnic foods served from rolling carts or hole-in-the-wall eateries, Lilly's is the kind of bistro where you can slow down from the hectic atmosphere outside (with a little imagination, the old Taco Bell hut becomes a great Greek cafe). Their portions are more than generous; the food is always fresh; and the prices are very reasonable. I love the Tsatiki sauce they have - it's the real deal. When you crave a gyro, this place is the way to go for quick service and good food. The fact that they are closed on Sundays reminds me of a time not long-ago, when people slowed down enough to keep personal, family time sacred. Kudos to Lilly, Ian, Kievan, and Peyman for honoring the seventh day! read more

Best chicken gyros I've had anywhere. The traditional is great too. Can't get enough of the wonderful flavors

Great local place. Baklava, gyros, basmati rice. Nice family place. Make it a regular stop.

Even the bad reviews for Lilly's are a 3.... The lamb meat here has as much flavor as I have tasted in a gyro in years. The service is wonderful and the portions are more then enough. This is my new Gyro Destination with out question. Now the concerns of our other fellow Yelpers. I to feel that a couple more flavor additives to the lamb gyro's would put this place over the top(Feta or Olives or even Lettuce). I purchased the platter and I was able to apply my own tzatziki sauce to taste, but my wife however with just purchasing a gyro it was already made for her and had alot of sauce. She still needed to use some of mine because she loves the sauce, but I could see that it might've been to much for other patrons. I feel the sauce is a little Americanized, but still tasty. They are obviously hanging their hat on how much depth of flavor they have achieved with the lamb meat. I am sorry to anyone else that enjoy Greek flavors other then the lamb. I ALWAYS get the lamb. I was hooked on the street food of Souda Bay, Greece where they even have french fries embedded in the gyro.. This is the closest I have found in years. Oh And They Need A Much Larger Sign Installed Out Front. read more

Lilly Gyros - No description needed. - Greek Near Me - Fairview Heights, Illinois

I always have enjoyed this tasty hole on the wall. It is a little small building with nothing fancy. However, they serve really good food. I can't imagine anybody being disappointed if you like greek food. I read a few reviews about the staff. Alas, they have always been pleasant with me. The husband cooks and appears kinda quiet. Lily is usually smiling as she takes your order. They do most everything themselves and I can imagine they get tired toward the end. I have never experienced any rudeness. Try it!! read more

Always hits the spot! Best go-to for Gyros on either side of the river. The owners are incredibly nice. It's not often you see the owners in their restaurant every single day, but you will get that here. read more

I probably posted something about this place before but, I'm doing it again just in case I didn't. This is the best place around to get a Gyro hands down on both sides of the river. Trust me, I have searched. It's a small mom and pop but well worth it. They have a decent selection on the menu so you can't go wrong. But, if this is your first time, try the gyro plate. You will have enough to take home for later. read more

I tried Lilly's for the first time today, after reading so many great reviews, and I was NOT disappointed. I got the Lunch Special with the Lamb & Beef Gyro and fries. First of all, the portions are huge. My gyro was overflowing with meat. Second, this is hands down the most amazing gyro I've ever had -- definitely the best in the St. Louis area on both sides of the river, and it's the best I remember having of anywhere in the country. The flavor is just phenomenal. The owners made my meal, and, from what I've read, they're always at the restaurant. It's clear they care about the quality of their food, and the customer service was also fast and friendly. It was such a perfect meal -- and an absolute steal for the price -- and I'm only sad I didn't discover Lilly's sooner. Another customer told me she stops in weekly, and her go-to dish is the Plate with rice. She really emphasized that you need to get it with rice, so I'm excited to try that next! read more

You name it, it's good. Falafel, spinach pie, hummas, fresh pita, Greek salad, and the fries!! It's all SO SO good. Vegetarians can enjoy all the goodness and meat eaters have amazing gyros and burgers to choose from as well. As others have said, don't let the outside fool ya. This place is GREAT!!! read more

We had did a carry out here tonight at lilly's! We have been planning to come here for sometime but always been thrown off by the location. And of course don't let the location throw you off! We just ordered the lamb gyro and it was pretty good. There's not many gyro places in the area so it's nice to see Lilly's here. I personally thought the gyro was a little bit on the salty side to eat just by itself. But with the pita it goes perfect! Love the tanziki sauce! Wish they grilled the onions and gave more onions and tomatoes. But on the brighter side they were very generous with the meat! So I'm not complaining too much. We will be back to try other goodies! read more

I love getting gyros at Lilly's. They are priced right and so delicious! The owners are very friendly and run an excellent restaurant! This is the place to go for authentic Greek food. I highly recommend you try Lilly's gyros! You will enjoy it! read more

We aways get a fantastic meal at Lillys and her baklava is amazing!

Small little restaurant.great food friendly staff.the lamb shank was very flavorful.but i gotta warn you guys if u are gonna order it order side salad with it.lol it was pure meat with no vegetable comes with it.i ended up ordering side salad seperately and the guy said if it was less than 5 bucks we need to pay with cash but he still let me pay with the card which was nice.salad was very fresh,could be the freshest i've had in awhile..it was a bit cold inside just keep that in mind.hubby's gyro was awesome.will definitely go back!!! read more

See all

Great food , great service. The owners are always so helpful and friendly. My only real complaint is that they close early( at 8pm). The stuffed cabbage are delicious and the gyros are overloaded w great meat and crisp onions, bright tomatoes and house made tzazki(not sure of the spelling) sauce. The salads are good also. read more

If your looking for good gyros look no further then. Always good food here and the owners are so nice too. I usually always get the gyro plate with an extra pita cause they load you up with meat. read more

This place is great! This family owned restaurant knows how to provide great service and delicious food! When I want a gyro and it's often, I go to Lilly's Gyros! read more

Great Gyros! Awesome baklava.. if I spelled that correctly lol. Small and intimate establishment. Always have carried out.

My wife and I were traveling through Fairview Heights and tried Lilly Gyros given the excellent reviews and our desire to support locally owned restaurants. When I arrived I met Lilly as she took my order. She was very pleasant and helpful. I ordered two beef cabbage rolls and two regular Gyros. We first ate the Gyros and found them to be huge and delicious. We were not expecting so generous portions and we questioned if we could possibly eat beef cabbage rolls, however, once we tried them we had to finish these delectable delights. We will definitely be back when coming to Fairview Heights again. Lilly Gyros needs to consider opening more stores and franchising if she and her staff can teach their expertise to others! read more

I happen to be a regular here, I love this place. If you have ever been to Greek town in Chicago, Lilly's is right there. Actually better, Hands down I give her gyro a 5 piece all day any day! read more

This is hands down the best restaurant in Fairview Heights! Best gyro around and great friendly service! read more

Lilly Gyros - Greek Near Me - Fairview Heights, Illinois

Yum, yum, YUM!!! Finally found a good little Middle Eastern eatery! I had the falafel sandwich and it was delicious! Perfect amount of sauce and veggies, and the falafels were cooked to perfection (VERY important)! Food came fast and hot with friendly service. We will definitely be back! :-) read more

I don't leave reviews often unless a place is really special. Lilly's is the real deal. Their falafel is one of my favorite things to eat, not to mention their gyros are also top notch. Great owners and great food, eat here and you won't be disappointed. read more

Recently moved to area and did a search for Gyros and found this gem. My husband was in heaven. We will be back.

We love Lilly's! Their food is always fresh, hot and delicious. We have treated family members when they come in from out of town, and are looking for that special flare and something different. I'll admit I usually get the same thing everytime (gyros lunch special), but why ruin a good thing. Their spinach pie is great and the greek salad is filling and flavorful. I can't say enough great things about this spot. The food, atmosphere and employees are all great and treat you with respect. If you're in the area and looking for a great lunch or dinner consider them, you'll be happy you did! read more

Simply the best Gyros in town. Lily and her husband are so hospitable and the food is excellent.

The best gyros I've had in a long time! Great food for a decent price. No dine in due to COVID and must wear a mask, but worth walking in to order. Call in orders are also available, too. read more

Great food, very friendly staff, I can see why they have been rated so high and been in busy this long. I'll certainly be back!

Lilly's have the best gyros I've had anywhere, and I've traveled the world! Their food is fresh and delicious, and the owners are very friendly and efficient - your food comes out of the kitchen quickly. The lunch special is a real bargain, comes with a gyro loaded with meat, either fries or salad, and a drink for under $8. Very clean place too! read more

Love having Lilly and her family provide us with delicious Greek food. Portions are large and they don't skimp on anything!

Absolutely love this establishment! Mrs Lilly and her husband are absolutely wonderful! Great service, great food and always greeted with a smile! read more

I absolutely have no idea how this place is rated with 4.5 stars!! I had the chicken swarma plate which came with rice and a salad. The salad was wilted and tasteless but at least it was edible....unlike the chicken!! The chicken wasn't fresh at all!! It tasted as if it had sat in a fridge for several days then reheated. I loathe reheated chicken and am very sensitive to the taste so this dish was horrible!! The rice was dry and just tasted cheap!! I was really excited to try this place too. I will not be going back!!! read more

Lilly is such a sweet lady. The stuffed cabbage was excellent! Chicken shwarma is a bit plain and home-style, not bad.

Best Gyros in the Metro East. Lilly and Ian are always very welcoming to all their guests!

I can't remember how long it's been since I've had a Gyro this good. You have to ask for feta, it doesn't come standard, but it is a pretty healthy portion. The first place that I've seen with gyros made with lamb, and it was delicious! read more

Gyros are quality, delish... Last time I had the gyro pizza, with all its cheesy goodness... and I had to get one of their baklavas, which are conveniently packaged to go... but you can tell they make them in house... super tasty!! read more

I always have their gyros whenever I go here. They are delicious and I have never been disappointed in them. The restaurant itself is very small and I would not recommend going if you have more than about 4 people in your party. read more

I came here for lunch with Cherie O. This place is just ok in my book. The gyro itself wasn't foodgasmic. Seriously. The baklava was puny & kind of cute. The employees are helpful & cool. Ambience is simply put a hole in a wall. The bathrooms are outside, & you need a key to get in. Weird. Anyhow, fast service. read more

Gyro was awesome! Greek salad was perfect! This is my go to place for a Gyro in FVH! Place looks shabby, but don't let that freak you out. This is the real deal! read more

This place is the bomb I love their food. You can't make a bad choice here. Stop here all the time when I am in town. Sometimes the guy taking orders at the counter is a bit rude but I can deal with it. better experience when he is not working. Thats why I only gave them 4 stars. Food get a 5 + stars. Plus its clean thats a big one for me. read more
