Chicago's Number One Gyros 850 S Ironwood Dr, Apache Junction, AZ 85120 I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chicago's Number One Gyros located at 850 S Ironwood Dr, Apache Junction, AZ. While in the area to show a vacant space for a potential massage business, I felt a bit hungry and was delighted to discover this charming Chicago Hot Dog restaurant nearby. I ordered a delicious gyro with fries and kindly requested the lady at the counter to prepare my fries without salt. She was incredibly friendly and happily obliged, frying a fresh batch just for me. I truly appreciated her willingness to accommodate my request. During my visit, there was an unexpected moment when another customer choked on their food. Thankfully, another patron quickly called for help, and the fire department arrived in just five minutes. I am so grateful for the swift response of the firefighters, who handled the situation with professionalism and care. Overall, my experience at Chicago's Number One Gyros was filled with warmth and kindness, and I left feeling thankful for the delicious food and the attentive service. read more

Look, it's a dive location, but the food is very good, and for the price is amazing!! It's the kind of mom and pop dive I live. The decor is dated but clean enough, but the service was impeccable! Worth every penny and then some! read more

Chicago's Number One Gyro - End of the break no beef sandwich - Greek Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

The people are great. The gyros are the real deal. Been back multiple times with friends. Always happy to.

Didn't know the place had changed hands. Saying the owners "skimp" is an understatement! When we were there, they charged for everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. $2.00 for a teensy-weensy cup of some sauce sounds awfully familiar. If they're not charging $4 for napkins, $2 for straws and a $20 refundable deposit on the air you breathe while you're in there, they will soon. The tiny portions sounds exactly like the way a popular burger chain cheats: thin, scroungy little beef pattie, tiny tomato slice, a thumbprint each of catsup and mustard, and a big whopping price. The junk food industry is going to hell fast, powered by owner greed and zero concern for the customers who keep them in green. This place is among the worst. You don't get treated that way in Chicago. We keep imagining how much more fun eating will be if all these crap places go broke and be replaced with Ma and Pa places where the owners take pride in what they serve! The junk food owners sure don't. read more

I found this place on yelp. While it had both good and bad reviews, I decided to give it a try anyway because I was hungry for a gyro. Everything started off good, the girl at the counter was very nice, I placed my order to go and sat down to wait. It was done pretty quickly. When getting the bag I asked if I could have some extra sauce because I know places like to skimp, I was told they charge for it. Hmmm, oh well ok, I went ahead and got one, 2.00 after tax for one tiny little cup and I mean tiny. Got home and started to eat, so glad I got the extra sauce because it was very minimal and at the very bottom of the sandwich. Also there were only 2 tiny tomatoes, no lettuce, I did feel there was plenty of meat but I won't be going back. read more

I've been craving a good gyro for a while now and haven't really found one in the East Valley that hits the spot--until now. I'd heard about Chicago #1 Gyros in AJ, and one day while I was nearby I decided to finally stop in and grab something to go for lunch. The place was pretty quiet (midday during the week), but I was greeted right away with a friendly welcome. They were super accommodating to my special request to have the meat grilled after slicing, and I only waited a few minutes before my order was ready. I just went with the gyro sandwich (no fries), and let me tell you--it tasted exactly like I remembered a great gyro should. The pita was soft and fresh, the portion was generous and fully stuffed with meat (which is what really counts!), and everything was hot and flavorful. If I had to nitpick, I'd say I could've used just a little more tzatziki and toppings, but overall it was delicious. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu next time. So glad I finally found a gyro spot in the area worth returning to! read more

Ok, this used to be my favorite gyro place to go, but the last two times going there it was so so. Today the pitabread was hard, 2 tomatoes on entire sandwich and you have to order extra Zita sauce cause they won't put enough on themselves so they can charge you more money for extra sauce. And last time in they asked me how it was and very nicely I said you need more zita sauce, and his reply was well everyone orders extra and I said, well Hello what does that tell u right there...omg. Today he never asked how it was so I guess he knows it's not very good... I will notbe going back, time to find a new gyro place... read more

Drove past here for years and decided to stop in today! Absolutely glad I did. I got the classic gyro. It came with a lot of meat! It was delicious and perfect. The pita was toasted just enough to hold it together better. Guy at the register was probably the nicest guy ever, was very very polite. It's a cute little hole in the wall place that has a good feel to it. It's surprisingly roomy inside, bring your whole family ! read more

I am never dissatisfied when we eat here. Everything is always consistent taste wise. The portions are generous and delicious! I love this to eat here! read more

Since opening this has been one of my family's favorite places to eat for our Mediterranean fix. The food quality has always been good, but sometimes the service can be a little slower. Be mindful in case you are looking for a quick lunch. I usually reserve this for when I have more time as good food is worth the wait. Dining area isn't anything fancy, but overall fairly comfy. Definitely a place worth checking out if you are looking for a gyro or Mediterranean cuisine! read more

The service was amazing. The food was fast, hot and delicious. We enjoyed our meal and would recommend the Gyro, Cheesesteak and classic Chicago Dog. The French fries were cooked our favorite way and are crispy on the outside. read more

Friendly greeting by young lady at counter. Ordered lunch to go for Wife and myself. Gyro w rice and gyro w fries. Side of rings and side of zucchini. Gyros were very good, plenty of meat and nice soft pita. Rice was good, fries very good, again generous portions. Not so great Onion rings. Premade and store bought. Nothing special. Same for zucchini, but they tasted good. Casual comment and my humble opinion only....this place has good food, but is not inviting me to eat in. Dated and kind of shabby. This area is about to grow in population by thousands of new homes and most of these people will be looking for good eats! We will eagerly return for take out gyros! read more

Gyro was good but very little sauce and it was $2 for some extra sauce! I don't mind paying for sauce / extras but $2 seems excessive! Frys were good also. read more

This place has alway been good and then started cancelling delivery orders without informing the customer. My husband received his food and I did not..... it was a smaller than normal gyro... food was cold compared to other deliveries. I would not recommend this place to be reliable for delivery. DoorDash was kind enough to answer the phone when they would not. Do not order online. Maybe try in person but buyer beware with delivery. read more

It's a gyro joint. As a Chicago boy, I recognize this kind of place. The gyros were really really good. The Greek salad was also good. The tazikki sauce was excellent. When I'm off the low carb diet I will try their Chicago dog and Italian beef. Their baklava looked great in the case and it took willpower not to order it this go around. Are they cheap? No, but are they good? Yes! read more

Your telephone service is Zero!! I can't believe you can't. Get through to a clerk. I would never order or come there to eat

Their hotdogs/philly cheesesteaks were amazing! Staff was so so so friendly. Lots of Uber eats orders when I dined I'm so there was a bit of a wait, but it was so nice to see a business flourishing and a positive staff. read more

First time trying this place. My husband and I both loved our meals. I had the chicken gyro with fries and he had the gyro. The meat was so tender and flavorful!! The fries were crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. We are looking forward to going back and trying the other dishes, especially the rice and hummus. Thanks for the delicious food! read more

The best Greek food I've had since moving to Arizona (1 year and 2 mos). The hummus was delicious and made in house! The gyro meat super tender and tasted so good. Will go back for more delicious food. Can't wait to try the other items in the menu. The service and staff excellent - was greater the minute we walked in the door and the same when we left. Thank you for such a nice experience. read more

Been stopping here on and off since COVID and have seen the quality go down. The last time was about a week ago and was very dissatisfied as if they changed suppliers. The hot dog tasted as if it was cooked in another way than boiled. The bun was not steamed It also did not have poppy seeds! The onions were red not yellow and were not chopped so overall this should not be considered Chicago read more

I love this place and should go there more often. Food is always good, from the gyros to the hot dogs. To be fair I haven't eaten everything they offer but I can assume if what I have ordered is good all the other stuff is tasty as well. read more

I only like their gyro meat and baba ganoush. Portions are very small. Especially for the price. But I go back when I want baba ganoush. The counter guy has some kind of attitude. Whenever I ordered something he would say "I'm sorry what was that?" On more than one occasion like I don't speak English or something. I don't have an accent at all. So what I say gyro like geero or sometimes heero or even yeero. I asked a Greek man once and he said all are acceptable. And when I said babaganoush, which isn't a common word, I just know I like it and that's what I want, the kid looked at me like I was actually speaking Greek. Just keep your snugness to yourself take my order lol read more

I haven't been here in a while and just stopped in for some Chicago dogs. It was $7.70 for a hot dog combo with no drink or $4.70 just for a hotdog. After waiting on my food I looked at the menu and noticed I could've purchased a hotdog and fry separately and paid $6.70. That's very deceiving and it feels like they are intentionally ripping customers off. Please read the menu and don't make the same mistake I did. read more

On a random note I decided to stop in here and finally try this place. I have been missing out! Today I had their #9 Philly Cheese Steak and a side of fries with drink for about $15.00. They have many vegetarian options as well. When I came in at about 3pm it was fairly quiet 1 other person dining in. Pleasant seating area and it was very clean. They also have a few patio dining areas outside. Looks like they used to have a bar but that area is not being used. However with my visit today I was very satisfied and surprised to see how great this local spot really is! The Staff were friendly as well. I will definitely be visiting again to try their Chicago Hot Dog. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for years and have always enjoyed it. But this last time was very disappointing. The gyro had very little sauce and just a few onions and two small pieces of tomato. I also ordered spanakopita. It was a 3-in triangle about a half inch or less thick looked fried no layers of Philo spinach feta were discernible. Plus it was stale and inedible. It will probably be a while before I try it again. read more

Stopped by today for lunch around 2:00 PM. As 3 Stars suggests, it was okay. Bought the Gyro and fries ($10.50 about). The Gyro was okay, nothing notable. There was plenty of meat, but pretty dry and didn't really have any other condiments inside. The fries were very good. Service was... Pleasant. Looked like a nice place. It had a nice-looking bar with draft beer, and lots of seating as well. The premises were clean as well. But most likely won't go back as the Gyro was maybe average. Thank you for your time. read more

We GrubHubbed a gyro, a gyro with fries, hummus and pita, and some baklava and it was all really good! Beef/lamb had really good flavor, the veggies tasted good also. Their hummus is super delightful! We ate all of it! I have zero pictures because I was too hungry ‍ read more

Tried this place today since it was close by. The hot dog was pretty decent however the previous comments said the fries were awful! Well I have to agree, possibly the worst fried I've ever had. Asked for my fries to be made we'll done...what I got were fries that weren't even close to being prepared properly! Not what I expected for $7.50! It gets better....my wife ordered an Italian beef for $12.50. Great big piece of Italian bread but really wondered "Where was the Beef?" Oh and her fries were just as bad as mine were. So with drinks, two sandwiches and fries I dropped $27.00 there. The upside is we will NEVER GO BACK THERE..... Not sure what they don't understand when you ask for the fries to be made we'll done? I've eaten at Chicago hot dog stands for over 50 years, this is NOT one of those places. read more

What a fantastic hole-in-the-wall I am so sorry I have been missing! It's unfortunate this pandemic is taking place, but this gem is SO worth supporting for pickup orders! I can't decide for the life of me when it comes to Mediterranean cuisine- it's ALL good! But, I opted for the combo platter, a side of spanakopita, hummus, pita & both flavors of baklava. Absolutely ALL of it was delicious! They also offer Chicago style dogs, gyros & burgers. They cook everything on the spot, as it's ordered. So everything was entirely fresh off the grill. Their presentation & packaging of to-go was perfect. The food was still piping hot as I got it home. And the quality/quantity was also more than my expectations! Plenty of a serving, definitely enough to make 2-4 meals out of it (in my opinion). So, I about did a double-take when I got the total- but it is worth it. I appreciate they provide a generous serving of basmati rice (my favorite!) and a plentiful salad. What makes the salad perfect- they don't drown it in dressing to sog. Lightly dressed for flavor & still crisp after sitting & transport. While I feel like the portions of meat were a little weak... we are also experiencing a shortage at this time. And what was provided definitely tasted great & was cooked to perfection. I just wish a side of the traditional sauce was offered or provided, otherwise it's a little dry. But the pitas were warmed, soft & fluffy. Hummus has excellent flavor & consistency. The spanakopita is a little "flat" compared to what I've had elsewhere, but also very good! Plenty of spinach to round it out. I just especially love the baklava! Both the almond and pistachio flavors are SO good! It's a definite must. I'm excited to come back after the quarantine is over! They have a great, cozy spot with a nice dining area, full bar & tv for entertainment. Very clean and tidy- and the staff are fantastic! The young lady at the register was on top of it, very friendly and polite. During a pandemic, I felt very relaxed & welcome during the brief wait as my order was being finished. I definitely recommend visiting & will be a repeat customer. read more

Just not a good atmosphere with the employees yelling back n forth. We've been here before and the food was better in the past. The Gyros meat were a bit dried out so that means it sat under the heat lamp to long. I can't honestly recommend this place. Best Gyros in area is The Green Corner Restaurant in Tempe on Southern. Sorry. read more

Haven't been in for a few years but clearly something has changed. Chicken Swarma was dry and oddly seasoned. Few vegetables in the gyro and the onion rings were bland as if from a bag. Fries were good. read more
