Past this place dozens of time and I'm so glad that I stopped. I was greeted by some really nice ladies behind the registers when I walked in. The menu has a lot of things to eat, then I honed in on their meal deals. Hot dogs or gyro? Brandy's call themself "Home of the Gyros" so I order a gyro meal deal that comes with fries and drink. Believe me, you're not hungry if you can't find anything to eat on the menu. Keep in mind there is a charge for using a card. I love they have clear signage and even shows you the total on the screen for both cash and card. I was given my drink cup and the dining area is bright and clean. I received my order and the way the gyro was wrapped was so cool. As I unwrapped the gyro, it was a thing of beauty. You can tell they care about the food. The meat was great and not burned to a crisp. The tzatziki sauce was tasty, while the onions really complement the overall sandwich. Some onions can overpower, these didn't. The fries were crispy and fluffy. They were salted well and didn't need anything extra. Brandy's you're a fine girl..umm gyro. read more

I had a pepper and egg sandwich which was pretty much tasteless. It seemed the peppers weren't even cooked. Sandwich was dry and usually the peppers add flavor and juice but not this one. read more

My family stopped here for lunch during a recent trip. The first thing I noticed when I entered was the decor within the restaurant. A lot of mixed decor and the interior was large but the restaurant was mostly empty when we were there. My wife and I ordered the gyro and fries, and the kids ordered chicken tenders. We also got an order of fried macaroni and cheese. The food was all pretty tasty, prices were a bit high but not excessive. The kids, my wife, and I all enjoyed our meals and I would stop here again next time we visit Chicago. read more

The food and service were satisfactory. There is a good selection on the menu and the prices are similar to their restaurants in the area.

Great food at a take-out and sit-down restaurant. Very busy place around lunch time. Huge menu with everything you could possibly want!

First time trying Brandy's and thought it was pretty good! Ordered the gyros sandwich but the combo deal (includes fries and a drink). Gyro sandwich was a nice portion - plenty of gyro meat. Fries were excellent and fresh. I added a cup of cheese for my fries. Entire meal was a whopping $17. Although I thought the gyro snd fries were good, I felt like the cheese cup added ($2) and entire meal was a bit overpriced. I'd come back to Brandy's; they have a couple menu items that look good. Just wouldn't make it a weekly staple. read more

Brandy's Gyros - Gyros Sandwich - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Walk-in / ToGo Very tense awkward energy received upon entry. Thick heaviness & apprehension as approached counter. Service Intentionally Delayed, and appeared to be entertaining the guy at the end of the prep line... Like in a mocking fashion. Apparently he was getting a funny kick out of serving everyone who placed orders after me, while a waited pleasantly & patiently. Think he wanted me to go off. Due to the surprised faces & uncomfortable eyes, I should have just left before ordering BUT I went outside to wait in my car bc I didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable with my presence. But after returning almost 10 minutes later, I was still patiently waiting for my number. 43 but saw 44 being served. He asked what number I showed him. His face was bemused as if there was a secret surprise coming. Whatever, Ok fine I'm waiting chilling & step back. Then Later numbers & people who ordered after me (even if they had 3 separate orders) were all being received. Hmm, No problem. He still side eyeing & smirking & just being too weird. But I ordered a piece of fish, so was waiting patiently. But by the time 5 numbers after me were served, then I asked about my number. Yet he was doing this non verbal head nod hand sorta almost wave in a direction while inaudibly mumbling thing to me, which SURPRISE I actually understood... but didn't know why? I was going to speak to him in Spanish to make it easy... EXCEPT Like he speak English clearly to everyone else in here tho??? Whatever, but then notice his snarky eyes & attempt to hide his amused smirks & what a great time he's trying not to look like he's having inside... I'm grown so don't give AF, except this a restaurant & you're making my food! Step back & wait bc I'm not going off about you being childish. Then he starts playing musical chairs with fry trays. There's a fresh batch that was just finished, several actually were handed out in front of me. But he wants to Re arrange all of the FRY baskets repeatedly & take a special basket with very little fries in it (1 personal size order) and put it over in the other oil THAT NOBODY WAS USING the whole time. I POLITE REFUSED THE FRIES. Since my bag of food has been sitting on the side FINALLY for several minutes. Food I DO NOT WANT A DIFFERENT FRIES FROM AN UNUSED GREASE THAT'S DARK... when I been standing here the whole time watching you hand out fresh fries & you still had some there. I PAYED 4.99 + TAX for fries I didn't get. $6.00 + Tax for a piece of the FISHIEST SMELLING TILAPIA like worse than old catfish smell... THREW INTHE GARBAGE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF DOOR BC I CANNOT HAVE MYSELF OR Vehicle STINKING LIKE THAT... it was horribly funky & I could not do it. The egg & peppers on a pita looked good. But honestly. I didn't trust nothing anymore. So ultimately paid $19 for egg on pita The last bite of my pita had a weird texture like slimy. Note there was not sauce of this dry pita & the scrambled eggs were yellow yellow & well done with some peppers cooked into them. So yah, felt worried & disgusted that I didn't just leave when the VIBE WAS NOT VIBING. Ugh Ambiance Overall = Unwelcoming. Akward. Antagonizing Clean, family friendly LOOKING / but it not. Honestly even the customers seemed shocked I was there. Excuse me for not realizing that even the children AND ADULTS worried stare like I'm literally a purple monkey. Ridiculous! I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WITH A BROWN SKIN TO TRY THEM OUT & SEE HOW WEIRDED OUT YOUR PRESENCE MAKES EVERYBODY ... only order fries & stand at the window to see it go down read more

Brandy's Gyros - People who ordered 12 minutes after me received their food 10-15 minutes before me. - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Their hotdogs are tasty enough, and I have popped in a couple of times. I see the service is usually very fast, but I have always been there during non-peak hours. There are a lot of better places to get a hotdog in Chicago, but this is right by a bus stop, so that is what has compelled me to visit when I am in the area for other reasons. While good, not really worth a special trip. They do not keep the dining area super clean, even when not busy. read more

I pass this place all the time and tell myself I should try it. I end up forgetting I'm actually hungry. Honestly, I couldn't get myself to want to eat at a place called Brandy's; it sounds like a name of a bar . Anyway, I finally took the plunge tonight after a trip to Ace. I pass a driver as he exits, and he said hi and held the door. I'm not sure if he worked for them or Grubhub, but that was so nice. No one does that anymore, except me. I go in and start looking at their unexpectedly huge menu. After a minute, I get greeted by a nice cashier. I tell him that I've never been before as I try to take in everything... I found the combo menu and ordered the #1, a gyro sandwich with fries and a drink. I love gyros so that was an easy decision especially since they carve it fresh off the spit. I fill up my drink and a few minutes later my order was ready. The cook hands it to me and asks if I want napkins and ketchup. I say sure on the napkins. He hands me a bunch. The people are here super nice! I'll be a repeat customer just for that. I go home and finally get to eat. Then gyro was amazing. Not.only did they overfill with meat, it was so flavorful! The sauce was yummy. The tomato slices were thick and juicy. The fries were good too, but that gyro! I will go again and try other things. I might have to order the gyro a billion more times before I venture to another menu item though. They also have these slices of baklava the size of my foot. They were huge! I might have to try it one day when I feel like excessively cheating. read more

Brandy's Gyros - Delicious - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing food and super friendly staff that makes you feel like family. I recommend the veggie burger and cheese fries it's my go to and always made fresh. I also love the spinach pie clean location and decent prices couldn't ask for a better place to grab a bite to eat. I also love if you eat in you get real plates and bowls. So you don't have to eat on plastic :) read more

While Brandys is your typical "we have a little of everything" on our menu burger joint, the Service is great! When the service goes above and beyond every visit, they deserve an above average rating. Food is nothing earth shattering but it's always consistent as expected and described. read more

All their menu items are delicious they are very fast with delivery and the Food is always made fresh. Greek Salads are a must try and also Their Chicken on a stick is very scrumptious..... Service fast is never a problem with pick-up or delivery. Nice friendly and place to sit and eat with children!!!! It is very clean inside and kid-friendly read more

If you want Brandy's, go to the Milwaukee and Ardmore location. This location is awful. NEVER can get orders right and it's infuriating. Also think the food quality at Milwaukee location is way better. read more

I see some crappy reviews here, but I had one of THE BEST grilled chicken sandwiches I've had anywhere in Chicago hands down Sat 5/18 - I ordered it well done, and it was perfect!!! Definitely will return. read more

This place is hit or miss. Is applies to the quality of their food and service. They have a bad habit of forgetting specific items of your order. Double check before leaving with your food. read more

Time to share some Nasty and Rude experience with Brandys on Harlem Ave. Bought 3 Gyros for Lunch for my boys!! Got home everyone opens up their Sandwiches One had to long hairs and one had eyelashes in it!! Called them up one lady puts me on hold and Hangs up ! I called again Manager answers and said You the one with the Hair? I said yes he then hangs up on me! 3rd call we told him no longer going there!! They are always packed with people They don't care!!! So much for supporting our local restaurants in the neighborhood!!! Grosss Place. Wasted 45.00!!! read more

I had to give one star to leave this review. Gyro meat was hard and crusty. Pita was dry not fresh. I called and the Greek offered to replace but argued that they do not sell dry meat or pita. Last month we got Italian sausage that obviously had been sitting out for hours. It was hard as rock. Go anywhere but here. 17 dollars for shitty food. Brandy sucks. read more

Brandy's Gyros - Hard crusty gyros meat. - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely NOT for Italian Beef's in NORWOOD, anyway. Chicago is supposed to be known for having Good Beef sandwiches, right ... WRONG! I just had thee WORST ITALIAN BEEF Ever; even bread was Awful... how do you mess up BREAD?!!??! Anyway, this Beef (meat)? Was so BAD, they smothered it with pepper to cover up the taste and that made it worse. (My throat is still burning as I write this) The color of the meat didn't even look "right" It was really light - had almost a pinkish tone to it, "ew" Pardon me while I go vomit now- I had it "to go" otherwise I would have sent it back FOR SURE!! read more

It is a great fast food establishment. The staff are friendly and helpful. The manager Ken goes above and beyond. The portions of food are generous and they won't disappoint. If you have a big appetite try out the "Football gyro." read more

Brandy's Gyros - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's a fast casual restaurant with aa HUGE, variety of menu. You could probably find something that you may like, but I went with quesadillas because I didn't necessarily want anything fried-- not that quesadillas were any "healthier". I can see it being a great restaurant for a quick dinner after kids sports games or in between. The portion is really big compared to the price. read more

I love Gyros and their gyro combo came with a salad and was very good. The price was fair and the restaurant was clean. The only down for me was that I don't drink Coke products. Most restaurants serve Coke so it is what I expected. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stgars was that there is no table service and I like that. The food was up to par. My friend had aburger and she was pleased with it. read more

Ordered a chicken parmigiana sandwich... horrible! Over cooked, dried out with nothing to moisten the sandwich. No flavor for my palette. Total waste of money. Now I found put they later charged my card a $6 tip fee without my permission. read more

We ordered the gyros plate was very good and fresh enough for 2 meals. They were very nice & quick.

Best gyros I've ever had. The football gyro is something that you have got to see. The beef taco is pretty good too. Very reasonably priced. The staff seems very pleasant too. read more

I've been coming here for a little over a decade now, so I might be a bit biased. When I used to live near here, this was the go to spot. For the price, the food portions are awesome, as well as the taste. Unfortunately, Brandy's is no longer so close to me, but whenever I am near I try to come and eat here for a slice of nostalgia and food. I will continue to support this business as long as it's open and as long as I'm hungry. read more

Live on the same block from Brandy's and have been coming here for years. It's a good place for a quick bite to eat. However the quality hasn't been the same in a long time. Ordered a Cesar salad and the romaine lettuce wasn't fresh and the chicken was dry as construction wood. You would expect the best when you're paying $14 dollars. The gyros and fries can be a little better, hopefully it will be much better next time. read more

I have passed Brandy's so many times, quite a few while my stomach was growling, but I did not stop for one reason or another (nothing to do with Brandy's). But that all changed yesterday. I was starving and I said now is the time to check this place out. I went in and was quickly overwhelmed by all the choices and possibilities that was in front of me. Luckily the cashier was welcoming and ready to make recommendations. She recommended the Gyro and I decided to go for the meal. It comes with fries and a fountain drink. The gyro was perfectly seasoned and came right amount of onions and taken to another level with the Tzatziki sauce! The fries were like steak fries and seasoned beautifully and the right amount of mashed potato filling, if that makes sense. They had a wide range of drinks. I got sprite and it was just as good as McDonalds iykyk. I got my order to go, but I would not hesitate to dine in. They had multiple tvs, it was a great break from the cold and seems very comfortable. read more

I would be weary of going here. They got our order wrong. We ordered a plain gyro but received one with everything on it. My son opened it and touched it. We called and notified them. They told us to come back and told us to make sure to bring the wrong gyro back to the restaurant??? Wait what? Why. We're like uhm ok. So we brought gyro back and manager/worker said yeah we need to see why it's wrong and the proof. He said if I allowed everyone to keep the incorrect sandwich we would go out of business. Uhm then make sure you give the correct order. We told them it's been opened and touched. He took it and placed it on the side table (he didn't even toss it). This could possibly be the gyro you are getting when ordering here!! Eww. Not going here anymore. read more

Outstanding food and service. Great hours of operation. Great for 1 to 15 meals...you won't regret it

A great selection of foods. Everything we've tried as been tasty. The staff is friendly and the service is quick.

The chicken was JUICY and seasoned to perfection!! We ordered a chicken pita sandwich and it was delicious. We had it delivered and they were early and the food was hot. Would absolutely order here again. read more

Brandy's just keeps getting worse. Tonight was the final straw. Ordered the fish and chips dinner for $12 and it was terrible. Two square fish patties, the wrong soup and no coleslaw. When I called they offered me 10% off my next order. Sorry there won't be a next order. read more

Brandy's Gyros - Fish and chips dinner - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

REALLY DISAPPOINTED! Had a couple of bad experiences after ordering from them at least twice a month for years and stopped. Thought I'd give them a try again. Food is not what it used to be. Their soup has gone down hill and while it might be homemade, lacks favor. The wrap was way over-priced for something that is probably only half a chicken breast. Again, disappointed as this WAS always my go-to spot for the neighborhood. read more

Brandys has great fresh food, clean establishment and friendly service! It is a great place

Awesome job thank you. Reliable, clean, hot. Price right. Trump2020 thank you! I had a wonderful BLT w the right amount of everything and a chop salad. I'm not into meat or cheese anymore- suggest u put a "Veggies only" option for salads. read more
