Underwhelming. Basically fast food. I ordered a gyro for take out online, arrived when it said it would be ready. By the time I got home 5 minutes later it was quite cold. Clearly was sitting on the counter for a while before I got there. Not sure why they add about 11 fries on top, that added nothing. Also glad I didn't order a side of fries as those were underwhelming as well. I may give it one more try, but I will definitely be eating in the restaurant next time to compare if the gyro is better warm. Note - Order extra Tzatziki. I'm glad I did as there was barely any on my gyro. read more

I have been there twice. It is higher in price than I typically go for fast casual. But, there is a reason. This place is off the charts. My wife and I had the mixed grill the first time. It was delicious and enough for the two of us. When we ordered, we thought we would be hungry after but we were not. We got the 3 meats allowed which we chose gyros, the pork chop and the pork skewars/souvlaki. We loved it all and they put the meat on top of the fries so the juices drip into the meat. It takes a lot for me to go somewhere a second time unless it is a chain as I know with chains what I am getting every time as they are usually consistent. That Greek Joynt even though it is 25 minutes from me, will still be a place I regularly go when possible. So, this second time, I got what I really wanted the first, Skirt Steak sandwich. They do it greek style with all the typical greek seasonings. Now, they do put a lot of onions on it. They were very good and I did not take any off cause they were so good. But, the meat itself is so delicious that the onions do mask the flavor a bit. So, keep the onions but take a few off or get on the side and put them on after your first bite. That assumes you have the ability to put the sandwich down after that first bite. I intended to take some home but that just did not work out. read more

We had the most delicious lunch at The Greek Joynt today! My family ordered the gyro sandwiches and they were amazing. I am gluten free and I had the gyro sandwich on a gluten free wrap!! That's what my picture is of. It was incredible. The portion size was unbelievable and I can get two meals out of it. The owner and his son both checked on us during our meal so the service was top notch. I love that inside they have remodeled a former auto service station into a bright, cheery space for a great meal. It's super nice and quaint on the inside. We will be back! read more

What a difference this restaurant has made to the corner of wolf road. Just as impressive as the new renovation is the menu at the Joynt. All the usual suspects of gyros and platters, but their Athenian gyro really emphasized what kind of a protein powerhouse this place is. When we walked in the Manager came out to greet the party which is always appreciated. The location is clean and modern and highly recommend stopping by. read more

This was my first time going to the Greek Joynt and I could not be happier with my experience! The service was five star and Matthew could not have been more pleasant and willing to go out of his way to explain the menu as well as make some recommendations! The restaurant was bustling with a Friday evening crowd, but the food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. We tried the #1 athenian gyros as well as #6 chicken breast, pita with sides of Greek potatoes and Greek fries. We also ordered some chicken kabobs. The portions of everything were exceptionally generous, all of the vegetables refresh and the gyros was perfectly prepared. We really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back! read more

I was honestly blown away by how good the food was. Usually with gyros and kabobs, especially chicken and pork, I expect at least something to be a little dry but everything was incredibly juicy and flavorful. You can really tell the marinades are done right because the flavor goes all the way through the meat, not just on the outside. The gyros were amazing, and the chicken and pork kabobs were some of the best I've had in a long time. Everything tasted fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. And do not even get me started on the Greek potatoes. They were incredible. Honestly, I wanted to ask for a whole side of the sauce just to dip bread in and snack on all day. That sauce alone deserves its own review. This was my first visit, but definitely not my last. I already plan on coming back and will absolutely be looking into catering for future family events. Highly recommend! read more

Given the wrong order twice. I went back with the food and both receipts that were in the bag. I handed them the incorrect order along with the receipt, then showed them the correct receipt and gave them my name. They still came back multiple times asking what I ordered--even though everything was already provided. At that point, how hard is it to simply look in the bag I brought back and see exactly what was returned? They promised free desserts for the inconvenience, which I never received. Got back home again, and the order was still the same one we brought in. Ended up paying more and getting less food. They offered to bring the correct order, but after the repeated mistakes and trying to shift the blame onto me, I declined. If the order had been right the first time, I wouldn't even be leaving this review. Food was average, but there are better gyros at other places. read more

The hostess appeared wearing a blue-and-white striped sweater hanging off one shoulder like she'd stepped out of an Italian perfume commercial. Around her neck was one of those little cornicello pepper necklaces, dangling just enough to suggest fate had finally decided to throw me a bone. Blue eyes. Not "blue." The kind of blue sailors used to abandon families over. She laughed at one of my jokes. That was all the encouragement my diseased brain required. I immediately conducted a full tactical assessment of the restaurant. The P.O.A. Index... ...was approaching DEFCON 1. Every direction I looked was another devastatingly attractive waitress carrying Aperol Spritzes with effortless confidence. It was like wandering into a government-funded supermodel relocation program. Then... A shadow fell across the table. A man. Our waiter was a man. Christ Almighty. The emotional whiplash nearly snapped my neck. It's like going to the zoo hoping to see lions and discovering the enclosure has been replaced with an accountant named Kevin. There are beautiful women everywhere, and somehow I'm discussing pasta recommendations with a guy who probably knows three different olive oils by taste. Cruel. Absolutely cruel. To his credit, the b@5tard was outstanding. Friendly. Fast. Knew the menu inside and out. Kept the drinks full. Never interrupted. The s.o.b. gave me absolutely nothing to complain about, which only deepened my resentment. The food, meanwhile, was infuriatingly good. The pizzas arrived looking like they'd been blessed by an Italian grandmother carrying unresolved anger from 1947. Thin crust. Fresh mozzarella. Just enough char to remind you that ovens are supposed to flirt with fire, not electricity. The pasta had that unmistakable handmade texture that makes Olive Garden feel like a felony. The cocktails disappeared with alarming speed. By my third Negroni, I was convinced I could hear Dean Martin narrating my life. Walking out, I glanced back toward the hostess one last time. She smiled. For approximately three seconds I considered abandoning my entire life to become a part-time sommelier with absolutely no qualifications. Then reality returned. The male waiter handed me the check. Four stars. The food was phenomenal. The cocktails were dangerous. The hostess should be classified as an Italian national treasure. And our waiter deserves a raise... despite committing the unforgivable crime of existing between me and the waitresses.

The meal is $14 but is easy to share or fill you up independently. Some of my other favorites are the Tomato Basil Soup with Ultimate Grilled Cheese and my husband often gets the Mangoberry Salad. Parking can be a bit tough as they share a parking lot with Trader Joes. Tip: All locations are closed on Sundays!

Long line during lunch, but it moved pretty quickly. Haven't been here in a while and it seems…read morepretty updated with a different menu than I remember. I got the Hot Honey Brisket Sandwich to go, which came with a chocolate-dipped strawberry, and a regular soft drink on the side. The sandwich was nice and warm, and all the ingredients went well together. The brisket was pretty good, but I couldn't really taste much of the hot honey. Overall, it was still a good sandwich and I'd get it again. Next time I'd like to try their Burger Bowl since it's new on the menu.

A Thousand Tales

A Thousand Tales is a wonderful dining experience. The space is much larger than I expected, with a…read moremain dining room, an attached bakery cafe and what looks like a banquet room in back. Located in a strip mall, there is ample free parking. Staff is unassuming, professional and helpful, willing to help with any menu questions. We came for lunch to celebrate a birthday and it was an excellent choice. The menu has a lot of clean eating options, including vegetarian and keto. We opted to share a lamb pizza, a tomato and cucumber salad and a meat tray. All were excellent, plenty of food. The pita was excellent. The tea at the end was lovely. Prices reasonable, good food good portions. Absolutely worth checking out and adding into the rotation of where to go.

I've visited A Thousand Tales in Mt. Prospect three times now since this review. I had two positive…read moreexperiences and one bad experience with the service. Upon my first visit on a Thursday for lunch, the waitress Nur provided excellent service to our table. She was patient, pleasant, and provided answers to our many questions. Just loved her service with a smile and uplifting energy. My friends and I ate hard and everyone enjoyed their food. I tried the lentil soup which was wonderful and I had the mushroom guvec with rice on the side that was delicious. We were served tea as an after dinner refresher which was nice. We noticed the bakery on the way out and they had so many treats ready to be ordered and taken home. The second visit was terrible. I came for lunch on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy. The lahmacon is offered as a lunch special and I asked if I could have the cheesemacon for the special. It's the same version with just cheese and no meat. My waiter Jamal straight told me no. I found that very odd so I inquired further because they are the same price on the menu and it's without meat. The answer still didn't change. I simply had a few more questions about other menu items and Jamal seemed agitated by then. He was not even trying to be nice. I ordered two entrees. I paid full price for the cheesemacon and had a pide with kashkaval cheese. Jamal brought my food and NEVER came back to my table. I watched him provide service to all the other tables during that time. I was fine and didn't need anything, but I didn't deserve to be treated that way for being pleasantly inquisitive. I really felt bothered by this because out of all my years of eating out, I never felt that a server treat me poorly personally for being myself. I've had bad service before just because the service is bad overall and that is different. I like the food so I reluctantly returned for a third time and had breakfast. Service was standard and the food was good. My mushroom omelette was fine. The traditional french toast was solid. This review should be one star but it is four without Jamal.

The cod was tasty and came with mixed veggies, coleslaw and a choice of fries, tater tots or red potatoes. I chose the potatoes and really enjoyed them. We arrived at 4:30 and snagged the last table in the very small dining area. The bar was pretty full, too. As we ate, a line began to form at the door for people waiting for tables. We probably would have stayed longer and eaten a little more fish if not for the number of people standing basically right behind us waiting to eat. All-you-can-eat is a great offer, but with only a handful of tables inside, it's probably not the best business strategy. And honestly, the plate had a good amount of food on it, so we didn't *need* more anyway. Kilcoyne's is tiny and has a better menu than I'd expect for what seems like a dive bar. I'd try the fish fry again, or maybe something else from the menu. However, I would not be willing to stand in the crowded doorway waiting for a table.

To clear things up about their dining area, they have 2 small tables outside and 1 small and 2 big tables inside. Small tables - 2 chairs. Big tables - 4 chairs. On weekdays, you don't need to make a reservation. On the weekends due to their limited dine in area, I would recommend a reservation to be safe. You can make a reservation through Google/Yelp or phone call. Parking is easy since it's in a strip mall. There is also a 3% charge if you use plastic. Just a note, I tried looking at their food pictures on their website, but it kind of runs slow. Sometimes it would freeze. I think they need to fix it. I would return here to try other items. I would highly recommend ordering off their Malaysian menu instead of the miscellaneous. Don't order orange chicken or General Tao's chicken. Very cringe because you can get that literally anywhere. Get the Malaysian food because it's hard to find in Illinois. The owner is very sweet and the service is attentive. We ordered lor bak, nasi lemak, Hainanese chicken rice, hokkien mee, and kuih talam. Just a FYI, the portions are very generous. For 2 people, I would recommend ordering 2 dishes. Prices are reasonable for what you get. A pot of tea is $6. -lor bak 5 - I highly recommend this appetizer. It has crispy pork sausage with shrimp fritters, beancurd, and cucumber. It comes with two sauces. Everything was delicious. -nasi lemak 5 - I love the chicken rendang. The meat is very tender and it has a deep flavor. You can taste the spices that went into it. -Hainanese chicken rice 3.5 - I gave Penang Malaysian Cuisine a 4 because the rice was delicious. HD's version, the rice was not as moist and flavorful. The chicken was not bad, it's about the same as Penang's. It could be a bit more succulent without the sauces. -hokkien mee 4 - this won't be as tasty as in Malaysia. I liked the big pieces of shrimp, an adequate amount of sliced pork and hard boiled egg. The broth is still very good. If it's your first time having this, I still recommend it. -kuih talam 5 - I would suggest this if you like pandan. It's not sweet. It has a soft and bouncy texture.

We also had the roasted red pepper spread, which everyone enjoyed. Two of us ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich. I opted to removed the caramelized onions. The other person let them on. I also removed the garlic herb sauce but replaced it with a chimichurri sauce. That really kicked it up a notch and was good for dipping the fries in. They're fresh cut fries, so they were good on their own, but the chimichurri again kicked it up a notch. We also ordered the chicken bowl, the avocado salad, and the Greek style lamb chops. We all loved our food and were too full for dessert. It's a quaint little place, cozy for intimate conversation or a night out with family and friends.

And then a domeh hummus platter with the dill rice (worth the dill, great flavor and good texture for the rice) and a cucumber salad on its own. I really liked the bread that comes out it was hot hot, and was excellent. The portions are huge - it's like getting served a med pizza pan of meat and rice.

Additionally, my wife's steak was served medium-rare despite ordering it medium-well. Service was slow throughout the evening.
