Absolutely incredible chipotle style Greek food restaurant. They absolutely love up your bowl here. Every time I'm in Bolingbrook for work I come here. Tzatziki is incredible!!. They also shave the meat fresh off the rotisserie spit when you order, great quality. Pictures are my bowl pre and post shake up read more

Phenomenal Greek fast casual restaurant. Got a plate with steak and all the toppings with sides of Greek salad and hummus. Everything was amazing the Greek salad was a little blander that I was expecting but otherwise amazing in every way. Service was fast and friendly read more

Covo - Plate with steak and all the toppings - Mediterranean Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

Tried this place for the first time recently and I definitely like the Subway/Chipotle aspect of being able to choose your toppings! I got a chicken bowl and was able to load it up with several toppings. I ordered a lamb and beef gyro for my husband. A warning to olive haters, they put tomatoes, onions, and olives as their standard gyro toppings. I also ordered some chicken kabob sides to take home to the kids. That took a while to cook up, and then it was a little disappointing that they didn't come on skewers. Bolingbrook has other Mediterranean/Greek options, but this might be my new favorite. Knocking down a star because I had received 3 mail coupons that were probably outdated, but just said expiring within 30 days with no actual date. From a marketing perspective, I would recommend including a date on these. The employee at the counter basically laughed at me and said he'd never seen them before, so I paid full price for my meal. read more

Let me preface by saying the food is pretty good here and I feel really bad for the employees that work here. Today, I stopped by with my team for lunch and were surprised by..........how long it took to order with one person in front of us?? The staff apologized by indicating that they were short on supplies and out of many things including their house sauce, Covo. Hmm, isnt the name of the restaurant Covo??? Anyways, I asked what was the best day to come here and they indicated that they seem to be short of supplies EVERY DAY! I wonder what the person is thinking who is responsible for ordering the supplies??? I've been here six times......three times I have walked out because the line was too long. It seems like the process for ordering and executing here is too long. The dining area is another story. We had to ask for utensils as the station in the dining area was missing utensils, sauces, napkins, straws, etc. The fountain pop machine had a couple of sodas empty of syrup. I'm wondering if there was any training done here???? It's too bad that this place is executing so bad since the food is actually pretty good. I will have to pass on coming here again since there are many other places located near by that actually have the food ready in an efficient manner! read more

The first time I came, I wasn't a super fan, but bumped up my rating from 3 to 4 stars. We tried the Greek burger that was juicy and delicious and upgraded to the Greek style fries and the Greek salad very tasty and friendly service. She was a bit backlogged as there was just one employee working on multiple orders, but she was friendly and did her best. my mom and I will be back read more

I'm new in the area and wanted to try this place. Ordered chicken kebabs and it was delicious . Wasn't expecting it to be that good but, damn! I had salad and spicy feta with yaya(honey mustard aoli) dressing. Service was great. Place was empty since there's closing but clean and quiet. Will definitely come back again. read more

HERMES' PLIGHT When it comes to the gyros race, Covo lingers in the middle of the pack. This Greek fast-casual restaurant in Bolingbrook sits on the northeast corner of Boughton & Weber Rd, next to Dickey's BBQ Pit. This is 1 of 3 places along a stretch of Weber offering gyros and other Mediterranean dishes (Fill-A-Pita & Pita Zone are the others). Covo is basically a Greek Chipotle. You pick a bowl, pita, salad, or platter followed by your choice of protein, toppings, and a sauce. Pitas are $8 on Mondays (normally $11) and bowls are $8 on Tuesday (normally $12), so you can save a few bucks by taking advantage of these daily deals. In the past, Covo had spicy pork and döner kebab as choices for meat, but on this last visit they only offered chicken and regular gyros. Their condiments are tasty, especially the Mediterranean sauce which I can best describe as a Grecian salsa verde. The tzatziki is good, too. Covo's Greek fries ($4.50) come with crumbled feta cheese and lemon wedges. We've tried the spanakopita ($5.75 for a side order), avgolemano (chicken rice soup, $2.95), and rizogalo (ride pudding, $3.25), all of which tasted fine. On a recent carryout order, there was a considerable amount of uncooked rice in my gyro bowl which was an unpleasant surprise to say the least (this exact thing happened to me at a Chipotle in Melrose Park, and I never went back). The quality of the gyro meat was a bit iffy, as well. Not Covo's finest hour. The service can sometimes be slow, emotionless, or both. The same guy who took my order, put together the food, and rang me up was clearly going through the motions. He hardly said a word; after paying, the only thing I could elicit out of him was a grunt. * TL;DR * We were impressed on our first visit to Covo, but our satisfaction has waned every visit since. Prices are fair, not much different than elsewhere. I like that they offer a wide variety of sides, but the uncooked rice in my last order was a major turn-off. All things being equal, I'd just as soon grab a gyros + fries from Mickey's on Rt 53 (also in Bolingbrook). You could do better, you could do worse. read more

I ordered a SKEPASTI with fries and it was just covered with all kinds of sauces. I couldn't taste the meat so if I ever ordered that again, I would tell them the hold back the sauce the restaurant was dirty. The tables had been wiped, and you can still see streaks on all of them. Fingerprints were all over the chairs. Dust was accumulated on the windowsills the garbage seals the stools. It needs a good cleaning and it was just aweful. I didn't enjoy it. read more

Covo - Skepasti - Mediterranean Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

The place is not as good as before. I wouldn't spend anything here. It's dirty, they don't have many choices available even though the menu lists all items. No spicy Mediterranean dishes. They really went downhill. read more

We stopped at Covo over the weekend for a carry out dinner after a matinee. Upon arrival, there was a family of four in front of us placing an order and no one else in the restaurant. Tables were empty. My husband and I each ordered a pita with different proteins, he had beef and I had chicken. My husband really wanted the spicy pork, but it wasn't offered any longer. The amount of food they give you is plentiful. The pita was large. That's a positive. I also ordered the Greek potatoes, which I love. The family in front of us ordered a huge takeout order and upon checking out, our three containers were put into their bags. Luckily, my husband saw that and spoke up. The young gentleman took out our containers and put them to the side. He was doing so many things at once that he was distracted, and I had to ask him twice for a bag to put my containers in. When we finally paid for our order, we did get a 15% discount that the young man gave us which was very nice. Another positive. When we got home, my husband's order was wrong. They gave us a wrong container. Yes, it was a pita with beef, but the toppings were completely different than what my husband ordered. The young gentleman obviously pulled out the wrong container from the customer in front of us. He was unhappy with that. Both my husband and I started eating our dinners when we returned home and found them extremely salty. We both threw them away about a third or halfway through. I thought the potatoes would be a saving grace, but they weren't even roasted with any color on them, no browning from roasting. The potatoes were also hard, not tender, and totally lacked the lemon flavor that Greek potatoes are known for. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. My first review for this Greek fast-food restaurant was five stars and we even catered their food for a party because we liked it so much, but because the quality of the food and service has gone downhill with each visit so has my rating. I won't be going back to Covo again. read more

I won't ever be back. Filthy restaurant. I'm mostly mad because on the sign it has a kids meal. The staff told me that the owner said they are no longer allowed to make kids meals. WHAT?! You don't want to sell kids meals, ok but put tape over the option... They had one person working, not fair to her but ok. The kid working got yelled at by the customer in front of me. I have no idea what for but it's not fair to put the staff in a position to anger customers. I swallowed my anger because I'm not going to take it out on someone who isn't making the rules. I used to love this place. Yikes, I hope the owner gets it together. read more

Got an intriguing taste for Greek street food? I'll tell you no more, do not go to this place. Horrible in every way. Does not taste authentic and wasn't prepared for business. Craved for this from another Greek establishment didn't have it. Asked for that didn't have it. Too watery with the amount of sauce on top. Greasy, untasty and you're bound to sit on the toilet a few times afterwards. So for the courageous at heart and stomach please get home asap or the Target within the same plaza to clean out your intestinal tract. Not one person in restaurant when we were there. Seating area could be wiped down better especially tables and booth area. Now I know why. Place needs the health department to come by. read more

Ordered Chicken Souvlaki for plate, choice of sides were roasted red pepper hummus, rice, salad, vegetables salad and pita. Food was delicious with many choices of side dishes that are available with the plate option. Grilled Chicken was flavorful and juicy. Don't forget to ask tazzini and red hot sauce. My favorite was the roasted pepper hummus with pita bread. Thank you read more

The food is great, and the service is friendly! This restaurant is definitely staying on my rotation.

I wasn't going to write a review but as the previous review said -Gloria P- l too ended up with food poisoning and in the E.R from their food ... (I tried avoiding the ER at all costs bc my deductible is so high with our PPO) but the symptoms were severe The place is filthy, the person handling the food also handled my money with no gloves & didn't have the proper change to give back . They had a workers child hanging out in the facility eating donuts with his car toys all over the ground. The bathroom had an Empty dial soap There was a flood by the pop machine The table was filthy & after using my own personal wipes it was extremely dirty I didn't let my kids eat the food here while we visited thank God There were no napkins - it was a brown paper towel roll Do better ! People are getting extremely ill & ending up in the ER read more

I was looking forward to trying this place I love Greek food. Got the chicken yerro pita & rice. It all tasted off from the pita that was stale & had a bad aftertaste, the chicken was weird too. The rice was yellow & tasted like nothing. I only took 2 bites of pita & threw everything out. read more

This place is honestly disappointing. The service is terrible; there is only one worker up front, and they were out of almost everything, and on top of that, their soda machine was broken. I've always tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt, but every time I come here, my stomach hurts, and I never feel good after eating their food. Today I ordered the Chicken Pita and got food poisoning from it. I strongly recommend you do not come here; the ambiance is dirty. The women's bathroom doesn't work. Both bathrooms smell RANCID, and they are out of towelettes, hand sanitizer, and soap in the dispenser. Steer clear of this place. read more

This is my second time trying this place. The first time was alright but they were out of some items. Tonight when I went, they were out of fries, olives, feta, lettuce and small cups for sauce to go. What a joke. Why even be open at that point. 7:30 on a Wednesday and you can't even service people. Last time we will give this place a shot. read more

Maybe it's my fault, the four people in front of me ordered chicken and I picked the steak. I got the pita special ($2.00 off on Mondays) and that paid for the up-charge for steak. Generous portion and lots of topping options but I just didn't like the seasonings on the steak. Could be just preference but I just did not enjoy it. Maybe it was the tzatziki sauce,.. ugh just really wished I liked it. I'd say one day I'll try the chicken but don't think I'll be back. Pita was good though. If you do stop here- get the chicken! read more

This is just an updated review and I'm pleasantly still satisfied!! Just wanted to share how much this place rocks and I hope they stay in business during COVID. Ordered the pita for the first time and this is huge. Was surprised how nice and large it was. This place always gives generous portions; they did it when they first opened and years later, they are still doing it. Whenever I'm in the area, I always make a point to stop here. Thanks!! read more

We love this place because they offer food you just cannot find anywhere else in our area, so I hope they stay open for a long time. I do want to ask management to please bring back the sun-dried tomatoes!!! I love adding these to my meal and was so disappointed when I was told they no longer offer them. Whenever I think about dropping in for a meal, I can't help but remember that you took this item away, so I tend to go somewhere else. Sorry, but those sun-dried tomatoes are a deal breaker for me. Please bring them back and put up signs/messages everywhere letting everyone know they are back. read more

Great food! Pistachio cheese cake was otherworldly! Gyro was devine! The ladies who recommended were spot on!

We've come here for years but the quality is inconsistent. Today I got a chicken gyro. Usually full of meat. This is what was in my box when I got home. Also the online ordering overcharges you. We ordered the steak skepasti which is more money on the menu than just "skepasti" and we still got charged an additional $2 for selecting steak for an item that is already more money because it's "steak". read more

Covo's concept is Chipotle style pick what you want on your food knock your socks with bunch of stuff that may not taste so good together.... be wise what you want. There are few things you can put on your yeero.... olives is not one of it. Anyways great place food is okay will be back to try different things. Fresh cut fries as well read more

Covo - Yeero sandwich topped w/ fries! - Mediterranean Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

I haven't been here in a while. I remember meats on spits/ huge pitas being warmed in front of you. A large selection of fresh toppings, sauces and such. Ordered a steak pita extra $2 for this selection Full of gristle, standard pita and nothing fresh to put on for toppings. The guy spilled half the steak on the floor when trying to reach pita on counter. As for toppings replaced with containers of wilted lettuce and unappealing vegetables (like they have been sitting for a while) Not to mention they want to charge for sauce as well. $14.75 for a sad pita sandwich. Should have left when I saw the place empty. Mid service/ mid food Not worth a return visit Hard pass read more

Great food, great service, this is a local go-to. The salmon plate with toasted pita is so delicious, their sauces are homemade.

I decided to give Covo another go since there aren't too many healthy food options in the area... needless to say I got food poisoning, I'm pretty sure it was the undercooked chicken they served. I will never be back. read more

The food here is really good. However always seems to be short staffed (yes I know everyone is these day) however almost EVERY time I go in there they are out of steak. Tonight I waited in line for 30 mins only to here the server say "we are out of steak"! aaaargh there were ten people in line at least he could have made an announcement. I would let it go if this wasn't like the 20th time they were out. HINT: this is obviously your most popular protein, have more in hand !! Went down Weber to FIL-A-Pita guess what? They had plenty of steak read more

I love Covo sm!! A great/better healthier option in the area! Their pita chips and hummus are my favorite. Food is always fresh! The meat is always tender and toppings/sides are always crunchy, never soggy. They give you great meat portions for those who need a lot of protein. I stop here every time I am in the area. read more

Definitely owners not paying attention to the place and service. Restrooms and sitting area were very dirty. I couldn't see the kitchen, but my guess is that is not clean enough. The soda dispenser was broken, so we had to order can drinks and pay for bottle waters. It is a shame because I have been at this place before and our family really likes the concept and the type of food; but not sure if we can continue going given the lack of cleanliness. read more

We ordered from Covo for the first time and it took over 2 hours for us to get our food. When I called and they explained that they were running behind. No one called me to let me know. Our bill was $76.00 for 2 sandwiches, a plate, a bowl, 6 totally stale falafel balls +$5.00 delivery charge. When the food came everything was cold. It literally sat for 2 hours. The bowl I ordered had salad and the lettuce was completely wilted and "cooked" due to sitting in the bowl for so long. I didn't even eat a quarter of it because it was not good. I am completely disappointed. I never leave a negative review; my family is very easy to please. It's unfortunate and we'll never order from this restaurant again. read more

Covo is a great place to go, especially if you aren't trying to eat empty calories from say, a neighboring restaurant. They are chipotle-style greek food, with options of Bowls, Pitas, etc. I've only ordered their chicken, but I can say, its the bomb-dot-com. Its super tasty. Top your bowl or pita with over 15 topping, including but not limited to: rice, mixed peppers, giardenra, black olives, red onions, juicy tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, chickpeas, banana peppers, spinach, the list goes on and on. From the sauces/dressings available, I recommend the Covo Sauce and the Spicy Cilantro. The Covo Sauce is like a roasted-red pepper sauce. The spicy cilantro is mild. They jam pack your carry-out tray, so make sure to get all the healthy eats. For about $9.60 (w/ tax), I cannot complain about the portion size. The bowls can be finished it in one sitting or split it into 2 meals. The pita is also pretty good, but it can be messy with the dressing and how quickly the wrap it. read more

This is a normal go to place when in Bolingbrook. In fact, I've been here 3 times in 7 days for lunch and sadly I'm NOT impressed as I once was. Normally I see the young owner, but he hadn't been here the last 3 times. Maybe he's in Greece vacationing. My issues each of the last three times has been the speed getting our food. One guy,,,,, curly hair... No motivation, took so long to put gloves on the two people behind me left for Dickies BBQ. He never made eye contact with me and mumbled when asking what I wanted. Terrible service.... Never saw the likes of it before...Sadly I won't be back read more
