    Gyros Dinner
    Haley R.

    Super friendly staff and delicious food! This is the best gyros meat I've had and will be craving it! I will definitely be back again. Can't recommend this place enough!

    Chicken Breast Plate

    Squabs was a great choice. The choices were so hard to make because everything looked so good and fresh . I went with the chicken breast over rice with the salad. Delicious. My boss had the gyro plate which looked really good as well. They were friendly and quick. The dining room is quiet for a good place to enjoy the meI'd definitely recommend trying them out.

    I was craving their potatoes so we stopped in and due to a miscommunication (I tried to order a big enough plate to share with David but he never told me that he hates the chicken here-- he's crazy, it's great) I quickly found myself staring at a grumpy husband. I had ordered the half chicken with just potatoes in the hopes of getting double potatoes and no other accompaniment... but I wound up with chicken that David was convinced was undercooked and a couple of potatoes that he wolfed down. I asked him to go up to the counter and ask if we could pay an up charge and get the bread and salad that would've come with the platter. He went up and George gave it to him without charge or interrogation. "What do you need?" "Tell my daughter what you need." Since David finally came clean that he likes the gyros and the broasted chicken but not the baked chicken, we won't have the miscommunication next time-- and there will be a next time because places like this deserve my business. The chicken was moist with crispy skin and (despite the fact that I ate it as quickly as a dog trying to hide a transgression) really tasty. As always. The dining area is large for a counter service place and the air quality is good. They've even got a slot lounge (completely separate from the dining floor. You'll spend a little bit more (1/2 chicken platter was 17 and change) but don't tell me that you love the USA and then tell me that you aren't willing to support local businesses. I finally got my potatoes, yummmmy.

    On the SW corner of Mannheim and Fullerton, this was quite the busy place. A nice, Greek joint vibe with great gyros. Plenty of tables but, they seem to have a big carry-out clientele as well. We had practically perfect timing arriving at 11:10am. My co-worker got the Gyros Sandwich with fries and I ordered the big Gyros Plate (see photo) for $19.84. But, when the cook brought out two, full pans of beautifully, broasted chicken halves (it musta been several dozen!), it made us wish we'd ordered the Greek Chicken. Our other friend with us had the Combo Plate: Two Chicken Kabobs, Gyros with tsaziki, olives and feta on the side. The food came out pretty darn quick, though. At about twenty bucks a plate, there was a lot of food. Soon again, we'll be back to get some of that great, Greek Chicken, for sure.

    The food in this place is great. They have a sign outside that says "the best roasted chicken in chicago. Their chicken tastes good. I believe they have some special recipe coz its really good. Been here many times. This time i have tried the gyro dinner and shrimp dinner. It was really good. Would definitly comeback. During meal times, this place will be packed of diners.

    Chicken sandwich. Chicken not cooked all the way through.

    I went back to the restaurant after this was said to me by Pete, the manager: "If you decide to dine with us in the future, we'll be sure to make it up to you like we know we can." OK. Here is your chance, Pete. I walk in and ask for Pete. Pete approaches, I introduced myself and shared with him the past review of what had happened. So now, after reading, he asks, "What can make up for this?" I reply,"2 chicken breasts sandwiches. " His response was, "No." Then, he walked away rudely. What was the point of saying, "If you decide to dine with us in the future, we'll be sure to make it up to you like we know we can."??? Then, he lied AGAIN saying the following: "We'd never want you to leave our place disappointed with your food, Jay." Well, I am, 'cause I never received any during my second visit!!! That is just Pete being a phony, twice!!! What a joke,him, and his place is!! (Need to clean the effin' toilets, too!! Just lazy as hell!!!) What was the point of asking "What can make up for this" when you have absolutely no extent to make up for uncooked, dangerous meat??? I think it is ignorant, especially when he abruptly walked away. You have the nerve to fix your mouth and say "...and that's the way Dad wanted it...". Ha!!! He's probably rolling over in his grave!!! Don't eat here and get treated wrong and sick. Go to Yorky's. The food is way better, and they will treat you like a human being.

    This is a casual restaurant frequented by many locals. One would order from the counter and then find a table to seat. Looking just at the prepared foods around the counter one could tell that it is a very busy restaurant; not only for dining room patrons but also the amount of takeout orders. So, it was not a surprise that after we ordered and sat down, it took a long time for our foods to come out. In fact, we thought that they forgot our order and had to ask at the counter. In addition, we had to clean the table before we could sit down. As for the food, we ordered a kebab plate and a gyros plate. The aroma of the meats from the kitchen really filled the restaurant. Both our plates were above our expectations. I don't think anyone visiting this restaurant will go home hungry. They piled up the meats like they have endless supply. Not only the amount, they were also flavorful and delicious. If we are catching a flight out of O'Hare and have the extra time, will probably consider this place again.

    Four of us had a great experience at Modern Plate. We sat outside with very good service and…read morecommunication regarding a couple of tricky orders. The girls shopped at the boutique next door as we enjoyed watching Elmhurst pass by. Beers were ice cold and the spritzers were perfect. I had the pot roast dip sandwich with fries. Best dip sandwich ever, and I have had plenty of French dips in my long career. Everyone at our table loved their meals! When you're there Check out the back of the restaurant, it is a music venue. This was our third visit to Modern Plate and I think the food keeps getting better! The Only negative was the electric scooters and bikes flying by the outside tables and past the signs saying please walk your wheels. Don't let that deter you the place is fantastic, just be careful when you cross the sidewalk, or sit inside at the impressive bar!

    We went here for a friend's birthday and it was a great spot! The menu is extensive (almost too…read moremany options!!!) and there really is something for everyone. The space is clean, enticing, and as the name implies, modern. The service was very friendly, and the manager stopped by to check in twice. We ordered a few different starters and everyone got their own entrees. My favorite appetizer was the pork belly, and I really enjoyed my bucatini sausage pasta. The group agreed that the drinks were not great. The cocktails tasted off and the sodas had no carbonation. Would definitely come back!
