    the interior of the restaurant

    I was looking forward to my meal here based on the reviews for the gyro. For those that think this is the best they've had, I would say they need to get out a little further than Mchenry. This gyro was good, not great. The tzatziki.sauce wa lbs fair. It may have be homemade but failed on comparison to a place in libertyville and also one in Lake Zurich just to name a few that are not too far away. The fries were the skinny fries and were hot along with the rest of the plate. The pita was fresh and hot. My Dr.Pepper was calibrated well and overall I'm happy with the meal, but let's keep this in perspective. I would come back for this or to try something different.

    My food the first time I went in. Ordered a burger I get a bun w some tomatoes and pickles. I call. He says come back in you want a new one. Well duh. Or a credit. No a new one. I go back in get home and I get a burnt hockey puck of a burger. Just disgusting. Don't eat here. You don't serve a customer food that looks like that. He didn't know that when he cooked it snd served it. Place is dirty and disgusting. One worker not masking. I think a older delivery guy.

    Been going to this place since I was a kid. Great food and Pete is a legend there. Go when it is busy and be amazed at how he can memorize everyone's orders to perfection. Had been 15 years since the last time I was here and it still is just as good as I remember - Pete is still here too

    There's just something about this place that reminds me of a quick, greasy, delicious place in New York City. Their food is great, but they almost have an "I-don't-give-a-crap" attitude: the store hasn't been updated since what looks like the '70s and the staff are never friendly (never rude, but they don't sweet talk you). I would probably hate these attributes in a lot of restaurants, but here, I think it really works for them. My favorite thing to get is the gyro plate: two pitas, lots of meat, tomatoes, onions and cilantro, and tzatziki sauce, plus a small fry for just $7. Most of their prices are reasonable. Some things on the menu are surprisingly expensive, but you can definitely get out of there for under $10 a person. They have tables inside, they have tables outside, and they take MasterCard and Visa. We usually get our stuff to go. You can order when you get there and be out in about five minutes, but if you're really in a rush you can call ahead. They deliver too!

    Came for a visit to McHenry and was looking forward to a gyro and hotdog. Definitely not what it use to be. Very disappointing.

The spaghetti dinner I chose came with a side salad and 1000 Island dressing was the thickest I've ever seen in a long time! The portion was so large I went home with half of it. Should I be concerned that we keep getting bothered by a fly on our table? My wife ordered the taco salad and accidentally ordered extra lettuce and boy did they add lettuce! Lol. The one thing I noticed was it was missing music in the background, a jukebox or something playing would've been better! We realized we were running late for an appointment and had to run out of there otherwise we would've enjoyed the restaurant more! To no fault of their own. I look forward to seeing us there again! Trying a burger or something else!

The reason for this is our last two visits, Judging my mother for what she ordered and gossiping with drunks at the bar loudly enough that we can hear is absurdly rude. Sorry its a slow night but maybe don't judge a vegetarian for not loving bacon and mocking them to other customers. Its just a bad showing. We come here often, so to be treated like that is heartbreaking. Now, my mom can't be certain they haven't been gossiping about her pretty simple order, a wrap with no meat, the entire time. Also just turn off the depressing news on the tv's its obnoxious when we are sitting down and just trying to have a good time. Put on a fun tv show, the game, something else.
