I've been kind of bummed out that I can't eat the gyro sauce due to being lactose intolerant. He now has a BBQ gyro that is amazing! Very good flavor and really tastes so good with all the fixings. The fries are not like any other fries in town. The fries have like a crisp on the outside that makes them so delicious. Every time I walk into this place everyone is so nice. The baklava is really good here too! read more

Yannis Gyros - BBQ Gyros Pita and fries - Greek Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

This place will serve you food! You won't be disappointed. Unfortunately you probably wont remember your meal either. I hope that isnt harsh. I mean, it's a good gyro, but doesn't blow ya away. Think 6.7/10. Gets the job done, solid role player. And for what youre getting, you sure as heck cannot beat the price, bravo! Workers were nice, interior clean. The best part? Their spicy bbq! It is hot and it is tangy! read more

I started yelling and violently shaking from how hard this food hit. 10/10 would recommend if looking for a good time.

Best gyro in Springfield small place but great service and very good!!! Prices also good

This was the best gyro I've had in a very long time. The meat was delicious and juicy yet also had that slightest little crisp on the side. You could taste the freshness of the tzatziki which had a little garlic kick, the exact way I like it. The gyro sandwich, fries, and soda was $14. The fries have that crispy outer coating. Great, relaxed inside. Would recommend it 100%. I'll be coming back. read more

Omg I love there spinach pie It's the best , always very nice and very efficient You Also get very nice portions , it's great for the money read more

I grew up in Chicago and these gyros are by far the best I have ever had. The Dolmas here are terrific too.

The great is the Greek fries. Wonderful, but we didn't know we had to add the lemon juice that was in the bag, so we ate them as we drove home with oregano only. Still hot and wonderful. Now, the gyro with $5.00 of extra meat was not excellent. In fact, I will not eat there again. I feel like we got scammed. We got one gyro with extra meat because the two of us were slightly hungry so we wanted to share it. In the photos I tried to show different angles so you can judge if you think there is extra meat. The sauce is also so full of garlic I could hardly eat it and I love garlic. The dining room was nice. There is enough room for a large crowd so I was looking forward to bringing friends. But, that won't happen now. I don't understand how a restaurant can be that cheap. Our total for the gyro was $13.00. That should get us more meat. read more

I had some questions and I called in my order and I told him about 20 minutes and the time I got there, it had just came up and sat by the register while he was writing something down and turned around and grabbed my order and it was very hot I would recommend this place to everyone the sauce was absolutely amazing, and the sandwich itself awesome so if you haven't tried them you really need too . The food the service and even with me calling it in they did one hell of a job, never ate there before but I sure will be back. Thank you !!! read more

If you are in the mood for gyros- this is your joint. Truly authentic and delicious. It's one of my favorite to-go dinners. It's easy to call ahead and pop in to pickup- generally they are quite fast. Inside the restaurant is quite small- but it's ok for a super casual eat-in. I wouldn't necessarily pick it for a date night, but my longtime date (AKA my hubby) and I really enjoyed it. read more

By far the best Gyro place in Springfield. It's not even close. They recently changed the fries to ok ne that takes less time to cook. I'm personally not a fan, but the Gyros are still delicious and at a fair price. read more

must have closed early tonight , drove across town for nothing ,hate it when business owners don't care enough to stay open posted hours

Fantastic gyros!!! Classic prep, but the tzatziki is extra flavorful! They aren't the fastest place to stop but it's worth the short wait.

We tried Yannis Gyros last night. I have to say that I totally enjoyed the experience. Not just the food, but the ambiance as well. As we approached from the parking lot, I noted to my trusted copilot that you can't see inside. Having read a few negative reviews among mostly positive I said "we're going in!" What a treat this place is! I love taking a step back into time. The atmosphere is clean, friendly and well-lit. We thoroughly enjoyed the gyros baskets. I chuckled as I gladly paid the 25 cents for a refill on my Coke. My girlfriend tried to make me save some of my fries but I said "No, I'm having a very nice time and I'd like to finish them." I'll end this review with the photo of the throwback seating that encapsulates the quaintness of Yannis Gyros. I loved this place! read more

Yannis Gyros - a long table with green stools - Greek Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Let me start off with a little disclaimer; If my wife did not absolutely love her gyro this would be a lower rating! The place is filthy dirty, the service was non-existent and my food was average at best. We arrived before they were "staying open but only allowing to-go orders" but the people who ordered right before us were allowed to stay and eat. My wife's exact words were "the food was amazing the service was crap". The local clientele rave about the gyros which is great but at some point when you are hanging all these local awards on your walls maybe take a little pride in your business (the awards are white the walls are stained yellow)... read more

Yannis Gyros - Chicken Strips & Greek Fries - Greek Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

So this place is a bit of dive, but it should be taken at face value. Pretty good gyro, good sauce and lots of hot fries.

Best gyros ever. I enjoyed every tasty morsel. The delivery was on time and just as I had ordered.

Best gyro in central Illinois! Great service and fair prices. Consistently excellent. Go Packers! read more

Never had a bad gyro out of here. Most of the time, the service is pretty quick. It's a small place with some areas to sit inside.

Springfields best gyros shop. There is only one location and hours are limited but the flavor of the meat and the portions are on point. I can't always get to the when they are open but when I do, I'm a happy camper. Did they make that from scratch? read more

Passing through Springfield and found Yannis on Yelp. We both had a gyro with "everything on it." The meat was flavorful and tender making this an excellent gyro. Staff were friendly. I don't usually rate 5 stars, but this was a 5-star gyro. Thanks Yelp, thanks Yannis! read more

This is a review for the gyro shoe, which for an outsider is a fascinating piece of Springfield culture. For those new in town: a "horseshoe" is an open-faced sandwich that traditionally consists of a slice of bread, a hamburger patty, and cheese sauce topped with fries, credited with being invented in Springfield in 1928. The gyro shoe served here is a fusion take on that: and consists of a pita, veggies, gyro meat, cheese, and fries topped with tzatziki cause. For gyro (and horseshoe) purists, it's practically sacrilege. But for those willing to overlook tradition, these elements come together in a surprisingly tasty concoction. My only issue was that the cheese sauce added way too much salt to an already salty dish, and could've been "interpreted" as the tzatziki (which, in contrast, added a nice acidity to the dish without oversalting it). The serving size is large, and there are enough fries on it that it doesn't warrant a separate order of them. I did want to try the Greek fries so I ended up adding it on. They were really well-seasoned and delicious but definitely did not complement the shoe dish well and would be better served accompanying the regular gyros. read more

I like their Gyros and their onion rings are also very good. I love their spanakopita and feta cheese too. These guys are great!

I've heard about Yanni's for years. I was just never in the area. Today I decided we should wait no longer. But what do I order? No worries the lady at the register made amazing suggestions! Pictured is a Dolmades in a dill lemon sauce. It was beyond Amazing! My Greek salad was loaded. My husband loved his gyro & ate most of my dolmades. He Said it was way more flavorful than gyro stop. I have a feeling this will now be one of our frequent stops. FANTASTIC! read more

Yannis Gyros - a close up of a plate of food - Greek Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

So I had been craving Saganaki for some time. We missed the Greek festival a few weeks ago and the only Greek restaurants that serve it in Kansas City are an old school traditional place where you have the "experience" complete with belly dancers and then a modern, upscale restaurant in Leawood where saganaki is $12 and $16 respectively. I thought I had hit the goldmine when our hotel in St. Louis was across the street from a classic Greek spot. But alas, their hours didn't correspond with our arrival and departure so onward to Indy with no saganaki. On our way back to KC we decided to take a more scenic route. I started to get hungry around Decatur. Look! Thai food. That will work. Oh, we missed the exit? What's in Springfield? Wait, what is that I see? Yanni's has saganaki? I. Was. Going. To. Get. Saganaki. Yanni's is the ultimate hole in the wall gyro stand. Dingy and in need of fresh paint but that usually tells me I may have found a gem in the rough. The first good sign was that they were really busy doing take out in the middle of the afternoon. The gal at the counter wasn't super friendly at first but it was just her and the cook so she was doing her best to take and fill orders while answering the phone. I get it, you're in the weeds and it's three in the afternoon! We ordered gyros and of course, saganaki. It was served with a mini pita so not a lot bread but that was okay. I came for the cheese. I was so thrilled that I didn't even care that it came with a lemon packet instead of fresh lemon. It was delicious. The gyros were some of the best I've had. The edges of the meat were perfectly crispy. The onions were sliced extremely thinly. You wouldn't think the way an onion is cut would make much of the difference but let me tell you, diced onions would not have been the same. The tzatziki was on point and veggies were fresh. We left full and satisfied. The next several hours in the car were spent listening to music and smiling about our last meal. Until we stopped for gas and I realized I didn't have my phone. It was still a few hours to get home to Overland Park, but I called Yanni's and indeed, they had my phone. Here's where it gets amazing. The owner(?) said he would gladly send me the phone and refused to let us pay for it. ****LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN! THE OWNER SENT ME MY PHONE ON HIS OWN DIME!**** This is so far above and beyond. I have no words. read more

Best Greek food by far! A must try in Springfield. The falafel was nice and crunchy on the outside and yet fluffy on the inside. The tzatziki sauce was a traditional Greek tzatziki. Gyros were well seasoned and tender. read more

Went last night ate indoors First time in a year I've eaten inside Of course the food is excellent I tried their Greek fries awesome This is the best gyros place I've been too read more

Have heard great things for a long time, but only recently have had the chance to visit. Delicious gyro's and an added bonus being close to work! I recommend arriving early for lunch as they of course got alot busier after 12pm or so. Interested in purchasing some of the olive oil the advertise on our next visit, check them out! read more

They are the best!!!! We are from St. Louis and whenever we travel on Highway 55, we make a point of going to her some incredible food! They are efficient, fast and food is always first rate. I only wish they delivered.....to St. Louis :) At least think about opening a store on STL... read more

Wow!!! Fantastic!! I highly recommend Yannis Gyros! The Gyro Salad was amazing! The flavors of the vinagarette dressing (they put dressing on the side), the best tzatziki sauce, the freshness of the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, feta cheese(4 medium chunks), cucumbers (2 slices), pepperconnis (2), olives, and the generous portion of spiced perfectly gyro meat!! The hummus and pita were superb! We tried the spanakopita (spinach pie) which was ok...I personally like more spinach. The dolmakadia was good but I'm not use to them being warm and covered with a opaque gravy-like sauce. Also to mention very affordable! My bill was less than $20. They do charge 4% extra if you use a credit card. I suggest you try Yannis just once in your life! If I lived in the area I would go there once a week! Keep up the great food and service Yannis! THANK YOU!! read more

Yannis Gyros - Gyro Salad...Excellent! Superb! - Greek Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Yes best gyro I've ever had and lots of meat on there and good sauce Fries have a nice seasoning as well on them read more

I was working in Springfield and looked for some Greek food. I gave Yanni's a try for lunch. The menu had all the basics you would want. I ordered a gyro and falafel with sauce at the counter. The food was made and my name was called in a reasonable time. The gyro was tasty with the right blend of meat, onions, tomato and tzatziki. The falafel order was 4 good sized coins that were crispy on the outside and soft flavorful inside. The tzatziki was also very good. I cannot complain about the service or the food. But ... this place needs a good thorough scrubbing! When was the last time they mopped and cleaned the floor? Have the napkins dispensers on the tables been cleaned anytime this year? read more

I always stop at Yannis when stopping in Springfield because I love the food that much. The space isn't anything to look at but for me the food is what I'm there for. I always get the gyro combo with fries, delicious! read more

We were just passing by and stumbled into Yanni's. We ordered the gyro sandwich and gyro salad and WE LOVED IT! I used to living in Greek town and had gyros all the time, and honestly, Yannis is soooo much better. Its clean and so tasty. Tzatziki sauce that came with the salad was AMAZING. I'm drooling just thinking about it. It's got a little kick to it, and it just works so well with the gyro. I wish this place was closer to home, I'd go every week. read more

Yanni's has the best gyros anywhere, and I used to live in Chicago! Their sides are also excellent, I usually get the Greek app dish (pita, feta, olives). read more

Great place for no mask requirement. 1 cook was protecting his chin, cashier was letting her nose air out and 1 customer no mask at all. I will say that one lady (seemed like the boss) was wearing her mask right. The food was good (Gyros and Italian beef), but we will never go back due to the hygiene. It is a shame since I use to like to support family businesses. read more

Almost everyone can agree that Yannis Gyros are amazing! The service is reliable and the atmosphere is pretty good too. They overstuff their gyros which is hardly anything to complain about. Most places would skimp on ingredients. Not Yannis! Even their Gyro Horsehoes...plenty of meat, abundance of fries, more than enough toppings to go around, plus the portions are humongous! 10/10 recommend Yannis Gyros! read more
