Quick stop for lunch during the week, ordered a cup of soup and a gyro meal... drive thru customer service was great, not what you'd expect to say the least. The food was hot, and my order was accurate(asked for a side of mustard and peppers). Line was a bit long, but expected for the lunch rush. Nostalgic, reminding me of how this place was growing up. They haven't changed, outside of inflation over the years changing the price. If you're in the area, definitely worth a stop. read more

Pano's Big Boy - Super Taco on Pita and Butter Garlic Fries - Fast Food Near Me - Calumet City, Illinois

Tried it twice now. Just ate the gyro and fries. Really good sammie and the fries were better than most fast food joints around. Had tacos there last time...not bad. I liked them because they were very similar to a place I grew up eating at. All in all...cool place with a very eclectic menu. read more

In my bathroom for the past 30 minutes throwing up and crapping with the runs. I know this place is located in the alums but don't try to kill me with food poisoning. Nasty food. read more

Pano's Big Boy - The Legendary Steak Sandwich, Fries, & Drink! - Fast Food Near Me - Calumet City, Illinois

This is what they call the famous taco what a joke!! I don't know what grade of beef that is but it has to be lower than Taco Bell because it was disgusting and for the price you pay I would think the proportion size would be bigger but I see why the portions so small because they will make you sick if they give you too much of that meat. And the Mexican lady at the front counter is overly comfortable selling people this crap read more

Pano's Big Boy - Famous taco - Fast Food Near Me - Calumet City, Illinois

It's a small drive thru and the garlic butter fries were FANTASTIC. I got a pizza puff and that wasn't super special or anything. I would come back to try the actual food and those fries again. Everything was fast and the people were really nice read more

Great prices good food, plus they're open late! I recommend the Italian beef's, their fries are good.

Food was excellent! I love the steak sandwich and the jumbo shrimp basket. Service is always awesome :)

Great good, great service. Whenever I go there the people are very kind and professional.

I first started eating here in 1997 back when I was 10 years old. My mother would get me subs from this place. Eventually I started loving their super tacos. Probably the main thing I get with fries and a strawberry shake. The food here is great. I used to know everyone there but after nearly 27 years the crew has changed but food is still good. The restaurant is clean plenty of places to sit. Staff is friendly and pretty fast at getting orders out the door. read more

Haven't gotten food here since high school. Still really good stuff. The subs are freaking great!! They're on UberEATS if you're not in the area. read more

Delicious Oxtail melted in my mouth. And the Jerk Chicken was seasoned with perftion read more

I just ordered 2 gyro plates with sprites. The sprites taste like Alka selzer. I believe the syrup machine was out. They would not answer the phone so I could let them know...warning taste your soda before leaving the drive thru. read more

Pretty good food fast service but the parking lot is so small also pretty okay customer service

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I'm extremely disappointed in the horrible service I received. Went there for a gyro with lettuce and the gyro sauce on the side. First of all, their attitudes were horrible from the time I even arrived, got home and noticed they messed up my order! Didn't even put the sauce in the bag and put tomatoes & onions on my gyro when I only asked for lettuce! Had to drive back up there! Which I do not stay close anymore! Asked them to remake my food for the inconvenience , which they didn't even want to do and had the nastiest attitudes ever still even when it's their fault my order was messed up! I didn't even get an apology or anything, just the girl smirking as if it was funny they messed up my order and I had to drive back up there! Anyways I Get home and guess what my order is STILL WRONG! I've been going here since I was little and I'm very disappointed at they way they treat their loyal customers I'm never spending another dime with them EVER! Horrible horrible service they fell off big time! read more

Whenever I want a great Gyro, there's no other place to go but Pano's!! Ask for your meat on the grill, it's delicious. And they always give you tons of meat!! My family and I been coming here for years and we will never stop. Thanks for all the great service!! Also you should try Gyro meat on your burger, so so good! read more

I try to get in and out without any students spotting me. Luckily, the drive-thru really helps in this endeavor. As risky as it may be, the butter garlic fries are worth it. Everything is delicious and completely super sized. The gyros are over stuffed with delicious meat, tomatoes, onions and tzatziki sauce. It is def enough to share. If you upgrade to the butter garlic fries, which I highly recommend, they come in container about the size of my head. I am always tempted, but I never really can finish them. The staff is super friendly and everything is really clean. If you are in the area, it is a great place to grab fast food. read more

Tried everything here for yrs. Expanded the place with a drive thru from a fire they've had yrs ago, but it brought this place back even stronger. Wouldn't even recognize it was in distraught. The new age Happy Days, so make you come in a couple of hours after the high school rush is decreased. A family owned place (Greek), but american restaurant the. Gyros plate is so tasty huge portions of lamb meat don't forget the crispy fries and the cup of cheese. The milkshakes are awesome (strawberry, chocolate and vanilla) all thick and yummy. The huge salads, pickles and hot peppers to add to your meal. The staff are friendly and funny they make you want to come again! Good service and good food all in all! read more

Panos is very amazing very friendly staff if they mess up in anyway they will reimburse you. Shakes are great.

I have been going here since high school. Consistency is key And they have always been that. The fries hot and delicious every single time. I should order more things but I like what I like and I pretty much get the same couple of things. I have never had a wrong order or bad customer service. I support them because small places like these are the fabric of the community. Thank you for your service. read more

Was just passing through the area, saw this little hidden gem and so glad I did. Portions are more than generous at a relatively low price. Workers were super nice to me and the food was amazing. Next time I'm in the area I'm 100% coming back! read more

Unorthodox customer service. Buy a corn beef sandwich and you get pickle and have to pay for a sport pepper. Now what places sell corn beef without pickle and peppers. No compromising. However when you buy a less expensive sandwich you get pickle and peppers, go figure. Will not go back to this place called Panos should be call Fanos. Gouching to pay 1 sport pepper. read more

Great late night spot. Always fast, friendly service. Subs are good. Great burgers too.

I love their food. Always comes out good! I normally always get a double big boy with garlic fries and a lemonade. Their mozzarella sticks are good as well! Only thing I could critic is there's been a couple times they've messed up my order or forgot to give me something, but other than that food is A1. read more

BEST GYROS IN CHICAGO!!! Make sure you get a side of garlic fries because you won't find them anywhere else!!! So glad they are open via drive thru during this pandemic too! read more

Pano's Big Boy - Vanilla soft serve ice cream and garlic fries- YUM! - Fast Food Near Me - Calumet City, Illinois

Best gyros platter around town, with a free beverage included in the price, wish they had ribs

I absolutely love Pano's so much. Having attended the high school nearby for all four years, Pano's was very convenient! Their food is always that best for me, from what I've seen and their staff works so promptly and offers great customer service. I usually order either a salad, pizza puff, sandwich, ice cream, and fries and when I receive it it's usually a lot--more than expected! I would definitely recommend eating at Pano's. read more

Always have me right fresh food cook right up front and fast as they can excellent cookers and registers except for one though always has an attitude but everyone else are amazing I love the pizza puff and shrimp basket with the garlic fries and chicken breaded sandwich read more

Great service! Food is always fresh! There's great consistency here and delicious garlic cheese fries. I've been going here for years! Love them and their gyros, as well as the Italian sub. read more

I basically cried when I heard Pano's burned down a while back, but when I see how they rebuilt it, along with a drive-thru!! I basically rejoiced. Even though I no longer eat meat (the steak sandwich will miss me), this is still one of the first places I stop when I come home. I have too many memories of showing up here at 2 a.m. along with 20 other post-party goers, discussing how we managed to not get arrested over a milk shake, French fries, and of course 'cup o' cheese.' Though I can no longer go there knowing the regrets I'll have attempting to eat the entire lamb they put on their gyro's, I still go back for the grilled cheese, the memories, and the joy of watching prostitutes getting arrested across the street. read more

Oh, hell yeah! This place is located just a hop, skip, and a jump from my old high school. Looking back, there's no mystery as to how I managed to gain 30 lbs during my senior year. But oh, what fun it was packing on those pounds. To this day, I've never found fries quite so perfect or quite so grease-soaked. I don't get back to good ol' Cal Sh*tty anymore, and when I do, I don't make it a priority to get over to Pano's, but I keep promising my husband that we'll stop in some day for the greasiest, most delicious fast food he'll ever consume. read more

This place, my friends, serves up the BEST gyros you will EVER eat! I hadn't been to Pano's for at least 7 years, when I would come here frequently with a work buddy after a "grueling" day in the bag room at Woodmar Country Club (....stupid Cabela's). Walking into Pano's, I was immediately overcome with a nostalgic feel. It is the EXACT same place I remember coming to--minus the guy with the moustache who sliced the gyro meat off of the spit in mesmerizing fashion. These gyro's are EXACTLY what I want when I crave a gyro. Overflowing with meat, heavy on the sauce, a few tomato slices, all piled high on hot pita bread. If you think you've ever had good gyro, give Pano's a try--see if your expectations are lifted. Also, I'd strongly encourage you to indulge and order a cup of cheese with your fries. The fries are not that great alone, but become a cheesy masterpiece with this stuff. Just trust me. read more

We are in town for a single overnight and were in the mood for something easy and comforting. The variety of options here also fit the bill for us! The food isn't anything outrageously good, but it is yummy and the staff is very friendly. read more

Love this place! Been coming here ever since I was in my young in years! They got the best fries and shakes around. Their food is always made fresh! Never complain! read more
