I have been eating at skippers for over 10 years. I used to get their tacos which were good, but I recently started getting the Greek chicken dinner. You can't beat the price or the portions! Food is tasty and always fresh. Staff is friendly and the kitchen/restaurant always looks clean. read more

Skippers Restaurant - Greek chicken dinner - Greek Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

I tried the Super Taco, which was large, but despite containing lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese and cilantro, it had no flavor at all. It came with a side of hot sauce, so I dribbled a little on. Be warned -- that stuff is very spicy! There was no middle ground with this dish - it went from bland to burning hot. If I order it again, I'll add my own salsa from home -- but I feel like it should have some flavor without any condiments. I also had a vanilla shake. It started out on the thin side, but I soon consumed the thin portion, and what was left was too thick/icy to move up the straw, so I had to eat the rest with a spoon. After a couple of visits here, I'm not sure what to make of the place. The menu includes gyros and hotdogs as well as a variety of Greek and Mexican dishes. If I return, I'll try a Greek dish, but I don't think it will be soon. read more

Skippers Restaurant - Super Taco on a Pita (pictured here on a salad plate) - Greek Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

Update: No longer good food. The prices went up and the food went down. The fries and onion rings that I ordered looks like they make them in very old oil. There tasted very bad very bitter. We had also a fish sandwich. The fish was very thin and it was so over cooked that was all crispy. Other thing I had was a gyros sandwich and also did not taste good. So no more going to them for food. Old review. Not bad. Food was good. No complained read more

Consistently good. Best gyros in the area and Greek lemon chicken soup is awesome! Nice friendly staff and owners.

I have been going to Skippers for many years! The Gyro's are phenomenal and the Baklava is always fresh and excellent flavor! I turned all my co-workers to this place when they ask for something reasonably priced and good food. read more

Yummy gyros excellent cheese frie. Taziki tasted like salad dressing. Super efficient . Went to pita to pick up food. Before I went in, I called in the order by the time I got out of Pita Inn and grab my food it was ready. The onions were very hot. Wish they would soak in water first read more

Skippers Restaurant - menus on the wall above the counter - Greek Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

This was a Grubhub order, which (of course) Grubhub messed up. No problem though, because the food more than made up for it! Grecian chicken done perfectly, gyros plentiful and sauced just right, hot dogs right on point... If you need to get good Greek fare, this is one of the best places to go to!! read more

My parents live near this restaurant. Their menu is actually quite large. Surprisingly, their shrimp meal is very good. Large, actually. I also like their steak sandwich. The hands down favorite for my family is their gyro (which I don't order). To me it also looks very large. I think the prices are reasonable. It looks like they offer to go, delivery, and dine in. read more

Such a charming place, it felt like I traveled through time. Nice Mexican selections along with the usual Vienna beef hot dog stuff.

I was not impressed with anything from this place as these Gyros tasted like totally worse than what's offered at the supermarket. The fries also were not good and the long the line was long aside from that this place looks pretty cool especially in the summer and looks like a traditional hot dog stand on a busy world with outside seating in tables the prices is with inflation are high and the food is not especially good read more

Great start. Just went there for the first time and ordered a Hot Dog with Fries. If you cant get a Chicago Dog right in Chicagoland you shouldn't be in business. They got it right. All the elements were there and everything tasted fresh. The fries were unspectacular as they tasted like they were frozen. Either way I wont ding them too much. The place is super clean and well stocked. I live across the street and will come here more often. Good start guys!! read more

I've lived and gone to church in this area since the late 1990's, but for some reason didn't start coming by here until this week. Go figure. The ever popular Pita Inn is across the street, but if you're in for some good ol' fast food, then Skipper's is where it's at! So far I have had their gyros and tacos and I loved them both. I saw the complaint about small gyro for $10, but I disagree, their portions are decent. Gyros were typical, nothing extraordinarily different than what I've had. Meat was tender, pita nice and warm. And tacos? Yes, tacos! I had the el pastor taco so far and it's well seasoned and delicious. That corn tortilla is also done well, and the cilantro and onion toppings are a perfect fit. I've been to Big Star and Antique Taco in the city, and I must say these tacos are pretty spot on, if not better. The staff is friendly, the food comes out quick. The interior is a bit of a "blast from the past", but honestly that made it feel more homey and inviting! And who doesn't love supporting small businesses?! :). So if you're in the area, check out Skipper's! I may just run into you! read more

Love this place & go here at least once a week! It's my go to for Gyros because it's so good & so are there fries. I'm Greek so I'm very picky when it comes to Greek food. Also the Avgolemeno ( egg lemon soup) is homemade & tastes like my Yiayia's. Must try!!! read more

Vast menu offering everything from gyros to tacos and pretty much everything in between. I always just get the gyros deluxe. I'm pretty sure all these places get their gyro meat from the same place but there are probably two qualities they can order. One with a bunch of fillers and one without. They use the good kind ( I know cuz I've had the bad kind) and there tomatoes have always been ripe and the onions are sliced by someone with actual knife skills or they use a Mandolin. read more

I give this Restaurant 1 star.. Over prices bad tasting cheap quality food....This restaurant advertises as having Vienna Beef Hot Dogs... They advertise falsely... I ordered 2 hots dogs that were not Vienna Beef.. Their fries didnt taste good either..The large fries i ordered didnt look large at all.. If a Restuarant sells awful tasting cheap hot dogs than chances are all the food tastes bad.. I wont eat here again... If people continue to eat here it's because they dont care about eating shitty tasting food... read more

Their food is amazing. Especially the tacos! Paul the owner is really a cool guy. Been going there for years. Highly recommend this place!

One of the worse places I've been to in a long time ! Not only was my burger totally tasteless ! We ordered two sandwiches & fries , they had the nerve to charge us 50 cents for a cup of water ! Who does that ? read more

I have lived in the area and seen this place for as long as I can remember, however, for some reason, never stopped in. One night the kids wanted hotdogs so we drove on over. The inside is nothing to look at but the food is good if you want a greasy burger, hot dog or fry. The prices were reasonable. We will be going back. read more

Skippers Restaurant - Menu board #1 - Greek Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

Picked up 8 gyros and 2 chicken gyros. Plenty of meat with onions and tomatoes. Tzatziki sauce hit the spot. French Fries were a little undercooked and soft. Got sport peppers and giardiniera too. I would go again to try some other things. read more

By the looks of this 50's style drive in you would not think that they had great tacos but they do! By a friends recommendation we tried the pastor tacos and they are better than any taqueria near us!!!! Can't wait to go back to try their steak tacos next! read more

Skippers: it's okay, I guess. There are a glut of beef joints and hot dog stands in the Chicagoland area (I know, this is the first I'm hearing of it, too!) and Skippers certainly is... part of it. I wouldn't recommend going here if you're looking for a "knock your socks off" experience or if you're trying to impress your out-of-town friends. I would recommend going here if you're starving and everywhere else is closed within a 5 mile radius. We had the gyros, cheese fries, and mozzarella sticks. They were all fine. Actually, the cheese fries were the best out of everything. Pricing was a bit steep, we paid about $25 for everything. I will say that the owner was super friendly! read more

Good is cooked to order, quick and delicious. It is small and clean inside. The owner is a very kind man.

Doesn't have access to Wi-Fi & when i asked why not and pointed out it's lunch time and lots of people conduct business especially through zoom meetings...the owner became rude and basically told the cashier to refund my money and leave. Lol. I went nextdoor to Pita Inn where I was able to eat and take a zoom meeting. read more

I really like this place for a few reasons: 1. Good hot dogs. (Vienna Beef) 2. Good Italian beef 3. Good gyros 4. Very nice owner 5. Very clean establishment Most of these types of places are not very clean. Skippers is spotless! You take a look behind the counter where they are making your food, and everything is very clean. I commented to the Skipper himself, and he told me how important it is to him to maintain a clean restaurant, and serve high quality food. That's the kind of restaurant you want to eat at! read more

This is a pretty good local establishment that serves delicious fast food. They have been here for a long while and they have been consistenly serving good food. They have got burgers, gyros, hotdogs, sausage sandwich, chicken and pork sandwiches, tacos, tortas, Grecian chicken and more. My favorites here are gyro, gyro burger, pizza burger, steak tacos, milkshakes etc. I like coming here and enjoying their tasty food. It has good menu variety and the prices are inexpensive. I recommend people check this place out if they haven't before. read more

Skippers Restaurant - Go for this when here. It's a pretty good deal. - Greek Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

After driving by this place for decades (mainly to get to Pita Inn) I decided to try this place after seeing that other reviewers said they do a nice job. I think I may have been here 20 years ago, but wasn't writing reviews back then. I had an Italian beef sandwich that was good but not memorable. I also did an order of rings that were not so great. The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean. The menu was confusing because in addition to the hot dog stand fare, they also had Greek and Mexican options. I would go back, but would just try something else like grilled chicken or another of their Greek options. read more

Best chicken burrito in the area. honestly I don't know what it is but it just tastes better than any other burrito ive ever had. chipotle, various mexican restaurant none of them compare! read more

We dine in or pick something up here a few times per week. We love the every pita item on the menu - chicken, gyros, kebabs, etc. They make a very good burger. We love their tacos, too. Their Chicago dog is not a "snapper", but still a true Chicago dog. Service is very friendly. read more

This guy thinks he has the best food in the area, well I'm here to tell ya it ain't. Gyros is bland and mine was picked off of the flattop not sliced off the spit. The chicken dinner was just a warmed up 1/2 chicken chopped up and served. You could tell it wasn't cooked earlier that day...more like earlier in the week, like last week. It was so DRY! The sub sandwich was another bomb and was served on a stale sub roll. He said his beef was better than Johnnies, he better try it before saying anything bad about one of the best beef joints on the planet. I like supporting the local joints but just can't do that here. Go next door to the Pita Inn. read more

Skippers Restaurant - There idea of an Italian beef. Bland, dry, the worst I've ever had! Peppers tasted like hot pickles. - Greek Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

Loooove their food and prices! Their chicken seasoning is delicious; you can tell it's homemade. They offer a wide variety of food options at good prices.

Skippers Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Wheeling, Illinois

This place is off the beaten path, for us, but the lure of a cruise night here was tempting. What a treat! Omg the best Baklava I've ever tasted, and the food was exquisite. We both got a combo Greek plate, and everything was delicious! Outstanding place, prices are not bad. read more

I was refused service because I have my service dog with me, The person wanted to see my from Doctor, I was told that I also told because some people don't like dogs that I could not eat their, After 20 years in the military, I didn't know that I was discriminated because I have a service dog, I will say that I was upset because of this. I would never recommend anyone go to their. He is the first place to refuse me service. read more

Yap, whenever my family eats at Pita Inn, i go separate and always end up eating here

Great neighborhood joint with friendly staff and good fast food. When I want a gyros and fries this is where I go.
