    Receipt

    Gyros factory does not value or respect their customers. We had a rude unpleasant experience by the owner. At first, My husband and I were excited to visit the new Gyros factory in Des Plaines, yesterday, for the 1st time since it's been under new management. How disappointed we were. We ordered food to go and while waiting, we noticed on the receipt the math calculation was off. It only said non-cash and Total to be paid, as we paid by debit card. (I thought they can only charge a surcharge for credit cards, not debit cards. It was only by about $1.30, no big deal, We had 20 minutes to wait for the food, so we were just conversing, again no big deal. (I have attached my receipt) The BIG DEAL was when the food was ready, I asked if credit card surcharges apply to debits cards, as well. We were expecting a normal professional response, but instead, he got upset and his RUDE response was, "It's 4% actually, and I don't have time for this, keep on stepping and rudely told us to get out". I am fine with leaving the restaurant, but I am really upset that he talked to us like we are shit, as I tried really hard to keep it professional and stayed mostly quiet. As far as I know they are not allowed by law to charge 4 percent surcharge for debit cards, they are rude, and we will not be going back! Zero stars left for Gyros Factory due to customer Experience we received.

    Gyro Sandwich with side of fries

    Just had lunch and man was it good! Gyros cooked perfectly, fresh cut fries, and OMG the baklava was one of the best I've ever eaten! Light, not too flakey and not overly sweet. (Devoured too fast to get a pic) More, please! Owners are incredibly nice, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. I have a new lunch spot!

    Great food, clean, courteous staff! We had a large order, and it was ready to go, when we walked in the door, to pick it up. All the food was great; it was the BEST saganaki anyone in our family had ever tasted! And the prices are extremely reasonable.

    Fresh cut French fries

    Great food everything is delicious that we have tried. Friendly staff recommend you try it out. We enjoy it!

    Date: 14-June-2024 Time: Lunch Total (before tip): $18.29 Payment type: cash Server: Ordered at the counter Grade: C I was in a mood for a Gyro Sandwich today and I have noticed this place had a "large"/"big" Gyro sandwich on their menu, so I have decided to check them out! I came up to the counter to place my order. They had the Big Gyro sandwich on the menu, which is "larger" than your typical Gyro, so I have ordered that as a meal. I decided to dine in. I got my cup for a drink and waited for my food. It didn't take too long for my food to be made. I picked it up at the counter. I sat down and started with fries. They were crispy, but your typical pre-frozen type, nothing special. Gyro was next and it had a nice portion, but I would not call it all that big, I would be curious to see what the "regular" size gyro looks like. The meat was pretty good, in terms of juiciness, I would say a bit too juicy to my liking, as it was dripping, I am not a fan of that, but to each its own! About average, C. I will be back to try something else.

    Gyro sandwich combo everything on side with extra pita bread and best fries for me in long time

    5 star rating for the crispy french fries that tastes bit better than the iconic Golden Arches burger chain. I was so happy to find a place that can cook them like this! Gyro sandwich was more than enough meat for me. The sauce was just perfect! Am coming back with my group and trying other sandwiches/hotdogs next time I am in here. With fries of course! The employees there was so nice to people in my group. Very kind and pleasant owner when he took our order he made sure we were happy and settled in when we ate our food. Thank you for your hospitality if you are reading this!

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

Naxos has a pretty big menu but is still limited in some things. A lot of it is meaty including fish. There's few choices for vegetarians but they have salad at least. Coming in here it looks a lot fancier than the places around it. It's actually still pretty casual and there's okay prices. There's a bar at the front and that's where we sat. Good stuff as far as alcohol. It's about $7 for the House Red Wine. A good one. It's about $11 for the Athenian Salad. This is pretty much like a Greek Salad. Okay but basic. The rest of the menu has classics like moussaka and spanakopita among lots of things you can get. Good enough that maybe we could go here again. It's located on Irving Park at Rohlwing. The Fried Eggplant is among the few things for vegetarians.

We take turns & rotate every other time. For him it was his first time @ a PPMG. Both my buddy & I I ordered the mixed meat combination which comes w/a variety of meats. This combination comes w/beef shawarma, beef kifta sausage, piece of grilled beef, chicken shawarma, chicken kifta & grilled chicken, some yellow rice & salad all excellently seasoned. All of this comes for $19.00/person. He also ordered a cup of lentil soup. The portion sizes are generous & more than I can eat wo/gorging myself. (I had leftovers) All of this delicious goodness for $19.00/combo. This meal was made more affordable by a Groupon that I purchased. The deal was $40 worth of food for $25. Even wo/the Groupon this is an excellent value & an excellent meal. I continue to go to Pita Pita Mediterranean Grill or PPMG because the food quality & portion sizes have always been an awesome deal I love Mediterranean food & especially love PPMG
