I try to come here when I am in the area as the food is very good. I mostly eat the gyros when I come but have tried other items also none of which is disappointing. You get good sizes portions and the food is hot. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is clean and has enough sitting. You will always see friends there sitting around talking and not being rushed. It's a neighborhood place and not a chain. read more

I was looking forward to dining at Dengeo's. I enjoy their Chicken Kabob and it did not disappoint. It was fresh and delicious. The tzatziki sauce was fantastic, making the dining experience exceptional. I look forward to returning read more

We go here frequently and the food is great however a little pricey for the fair. I have ordered gyros, caesar salad, fries, hotdogs and skirt steak here all were delicious. They can be crowded at times but that means the food is good! A few times we have gone and the bathroom was not the cleanest which I dont love as a mom. Overall I recommend as the food is delicious, we just dont go as often now because it is a little expensive for our budget but that is our problem, I know food costs have gone up. read more

When we are in the area we love dining here. Today my husband ordered the chicken breast dinner and it is so filling and delicious! I ordered a side of Falafel but they were overcooked... almost too hard to eat! They still tasted yummy and I would order them again even if they were cooked the same way! The people working at the register were really nice but the guy cleaning the tables kept bumping into my bad leg. I have it slightly hanging over the edge of the booth so I don't get the booth seat dirty/wet because my knee is injured and I cannot bend it... he could have walked around the other side of the table near us (see photo) and I felt like he purposely came on our side of the table to hit my leg because it was up on the seat. One time ok.... But come on... twice. Ouch! Makes me not want to eat here anymore. Hopefully this wont happen the next time we dine here. Giving 5 stars for the food!! read more

I have been coming to this location since they opened, nearly 30 years ago. Prior to that, my family had been going to the original location which has now been open 50 years. There are a lot of reasons why the restaurants are open this long, great service, great food, clean location, reasonable prices. On my recent visit, I had just a gyros sandwich and it was more than enough to carry me from lunch time through dinner: Regular gyros sandwich at Dengeo's -- whopping amount of lamb, a fantastic sandwich size, really high quality meat, always freshly cooked, delicious tzatziki and vegetables. The tilapia is always excellent, as is the Greek chicken. A Greek salad is large and absolutely filling. I think I've had dolmadis before, but I've really gone only for these three previously mentioned Main items. As a dessert, you can't go wrong with baklava, sticky gooey sweet with plenty of nuts inside, although not a huge piece. There is plenty of parking on the side and in the back. If you've never been, Dengeos is a must go! read more

Let me just say that Dengeos has always been a solid dive in the BG area. The food is delectable and hits the spot every freakin time! The foot traffic reflects as such, as there always seems to be an abundance of hungry mouths coming in the door. The store itself is always kept in pretty good condition and has never felt bland or outdated. It serves as great place to hang with a group or even a date spot. It has all the fine qualities of a local joint. The Hotdog is on point and has the great Chicago flavors we all have come to know and love. The fries stick the landing as well, but have nothing truly to write home about, but I digress. As I always must, I of course tried their Mozzarella Sticks. They average a solid 4 on the savoriness scale, if ya catch my drift. The marinara included to compliment is regretfully is not as up to par. It is not horrible or inedible, but it just isn't what it could be. It could just be that I prefer something sweeter, but I shall move on. Overall, a meal at D's will always leave one satisfied, and is truly a privilege. Keep up the good work and good food, you guys rock! read more

Dengeos is such a great easy option. It is not overly fancy, and the menu has a variety of good options. You can go for something as simple as chicken fingers, or something like a chicken gyro plate. Service is quick and easy wether you are picking up or dining in. I also think their pricing is fair in an ever price increasing world. read more

Wanted to eat at a fast food sit down restaurant with the family and we landed at Dengeos in Buffalo Grove. When I lived in Morton Grove, IL - I'd frequent Dengeos in Skokie and I really liked their food. When we walked in the restaurant, it was about half full and we were able to get a spot to sit immediately. The order takers greeted us and let us know that they can take our order when ready. The place was lively and it appeared everyone was enjoying their food. After we placed our order it was ready in appropriately 12 minutes. We ordered, the Butterfly Shrimp Dinner that came with a Greek Salad, fries, and garlic bread, Skirt Steak Sandwich, Spinach Pie that also came with a salad, side of Greek Potatoes, and fried mushrooms. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had a nice crunch and tasted like any other fried butterfly shrimp. The garlic bread was tasty and the bread has a nice chew. The crinkle cut fries were crisp and was had the right amount of salt. They used the same garlic bread for the skirt steak sandwich. I was told the sandwich was just ok as it was a little over done. Also, it didn't have much flavor to it. The nice sized spinach pie was flaky and the filling was a good mix of spinach and feta cheese. It was creamy and yummy. The Greek potatoes were too salty so we asked them if we can switch the potatoes for the Greek rice and they did, no questions asked! I could taste the lemon in the rice but it was not overpowering. The fried mushrooms paired well with the Tzatziki sauce. Overall we paid approximately $56 Dolars which included 3 fountain drinks. I feel that the portions were enough to satisfy our hunger. Was the Buffalo Grove location equal to the Skokie location? Yes! It was no different! If the family wants to come back to try the other menu items, we would!!! read more

I had tried Dengeos before and was pleased so I took my visiting son to try it. We shared a full rib meal with an xtra baked potato. Loved the sauce. Ribs a little dry but very tasty. You pretty much take care of yourself but I was impressed that they have everything you want set out for you to choose. They were very friendly. We sat in a booth by the big windows watching it snow. read more

We just discovered there is a Dengeos location within 20 minutes of where we live, which was an amazing discovery! I used to get Dengeos at the Skokie location during college and when I worked in the area a long time ago. This location is great at everything they do, similar as the Skokie location. The employees were very friendly and helpful during our dining experience. On this visit we ordered dine in meals and had a few items we ordered for take out. They had a seamless process to handle that request and they executed on that process as intended too! In so many cases lately at other places, execution has been the biggest issue. This location has a large dining room with both booths and tables, with a few TV's on each of the walls playing sports. When you first enter the restaurant, you're greeted with the long counter where you place your order with one of the few employees taking orders. They will call your order number when it's ready for you. They have bussers who come around to clean off the tables and pick up empty plates etc. Ee weren't sure if we were supposed to take our plates to a trash area or leave them at the table at first. The food! So good, just like I remember from the other location. The portion sizes are large, take a look at the picture I posted for the chicken and half rib combo, we expected 1 piece of chicken and half slab of ribs. We got half a chicken, the ribs, Cole slaw, baked potato, and pita bread. Dengeos is by far one of my favorite Greek gyro, burger, hot dog spots! I haven't had anything that I didn't enjoy from Dengeos. I doubt you'd be disappointed if you go try it! read more

The skirt steak sandwich was excellent. But for price of the sandwich was much too high over

I hate to even write this, as the staff was so incredibly kind and patient with the large group I came in with, but the food just wasn't good at all. I ordered the falafel and hummus + pita, and it was so bad, I had to throw it out even though I was really hungry. The falafel was so dry, I couldn't even swallow it, and the hummus was a very odd texture and lacking in taste. This place was PACKED, so I can only assume their other menu options taste better, or everyone here has lost their tastebuds. Hard pass for me. read more

Have been visiting this establishment for many years either dining in or having food delivered. Have never been more disappointed in today's delivery. Ordered a gyros sandwich and a double beef/sausage sandwich for my husband. The sandwiches were so small for the money. This will be our last time being customers at Dengeos. read more

Every single thing on the menu is great!! And they have the best Baklava for miles!! The place gets pretty crowded at dinner but it's well worth the wait. read more

Oh wow, what happened to Dengeos? They used to be our favorite gyros place, but the last couple times haven't been great. The gyros meat the last couple times has been sooooo dry and salty. Even slathering tzatziki all over it didn't help. The cream of chicken soup was decent. Fries were good. I emailed asking if they changed suppliers, but they didn't get back to me. So sad if this is a permanent change. read more

We've eaten at Dengeos for many years, always good. Today, I ordered, for the first time, a skirt steak dinner. It looked like a nice, large steak online in the phone menu photograph. For $23 it should be good. When the order was ready, the steak was about half the size of the picture. Looked like a hamburger. I asked my daughter to take my phone and the plate and ask at the counter if the two were the same. They said, yep, that's it. Not good. I ate the steak. It tasted okay, but I was disappointed to say the least. read more

I hadn't been to Dengeo's in probably 15 years so we decided to try it again on a Friday night. This is a strictly order at a counter and pick it up when called location. Rather than some of the traditional offerings of gyros, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc, we decided to give the salads a try. We had both a Greek village salad and a Chef salad. Both of these are about $13 and come with your choice of dressings. The Greek dressing, however, is really more of an oil and vinegar with a few flecks of seasoning in it. The basic ingredients result in substantial salads that I would have preferred with a different dressing. It can get noisy when busy, especially with groups of kids. read more

Kind and very nice people attending the customers. For fast geek food it's excellent quality. Fresh and absolute delicious. The gyros that our son had was spectacular, my husband had a grilled tilapia sandwich and it was crispy and fresh. I had a tuna on rye toasted very nice! The fries didn't taste frozen they taste fresh and they were not salted!! We really appreciate this. Congratulations !! read more

If I lived closer, I'd eat here every day. My order is always fresh & spot on. Such a gem!

Their food is always top notch, my go to meal is the gyros plate, large amounts of meat, add an extra pita, and you have an extra meal. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is friendly. read more

So good. Local treasure. Always a crowd, but speed of service is constant and constantly good. Worth a try and always worth a come bavk

I am not from the area but I do try and stop there when I am. The food has not disappointed me yet as the gyros are cooked spot on as is the grilled chicken breast. They are quick and efficient and the food is served hot. The buster cleaned the tables quickly. read more

Wonderful foods, great service and casual ambiance. Plenty of parking spaces available. I ordered the fajita plate and it was wonderful. Very tender meat, great baked potato with salad and coleslaw. Buttered bread. Others ordered the Gyro plate which looked and was said tasted great. Lots of tomatoes and onions came with it. Also ordered BBQ chicken that smelled amazing. Order at the counter, wait for your number to be called and enjoy your meal. I would recommend trying it out. Sorry, forgot to take pictures since we were in a large group and hungry. read more

Great food. Great service. Extensive menu and it's all good!!! My favorites are the gyros, the BBQ or Greek chicken, the Greek salad, and the burgers. The ribs are good as well though. Easy carry out and good plenty of tables if you want to eat in. read more

Great taste & value for quantity as well! I'd recommend of if you're craving middle eastern food.

I've been here and had a great meal...not so much today. They were slow for lunch and must have pre-prepped in making some of the lunch fav's. My gyro was dry and disappointing. Not the first time. Might have to remove this place from my lunch list read more

Decent food but wayyyyy over priced. A gyro dinner with a side of fires cost me $17.18. Worst part was there was no beverage included! I asked for my beverage and that was when they disclosed to me that the dinner does not include a drink. I could have just ordered the gyro with a side of fries for less. Horrible! read more

Been a while since we've been back to Dengeos but we stopped in last night just after dinner rush. The place was not too busy. We ordered take out and waited about 5-10 minutes for our order which was fine. However, our order was ice cold. The Onion Rings were not even warm and the Fries were slightly warm. Seems they made them hours ago. Chicken Pitas were OK but did not expect to have to go home and re-heat a carry out order. We'll be back but will check the bag before leaving the place. Geez! read more

You can get delicious food at Dengeos! They always provide fresh and pleasant flavors, with many options for you to choose from. The gyros have a particularly good taste, full of moist beef slices that are cooked just right. Service is fast and friendly which makes dine-in or take-out great. The place is neat and well cared for, providing an enjoyable dining experience. Portions are large enough to feel satisfied but still reasonable priced. If you feel like eating Greek food or any traditional burger, then Dengeos has it all. I always leave there happy, and I eagerly await my next visit! read more

I'm rewriting my review as I recognized an improvement in their service and product. My last review was circa 2013, and I wasn't exactly too enthusiastic about this place. I'm not sure if they switched meat providers, but the gyros tasted different -- and when I say 'different' I mean in a better, pleasing way. More juicier, thicker and fluffier. That's what I can describe it as. They also gave me a more generous portion. Can definitely say I recommend Dengeos Restaurant, and is especially a good choice during 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. read more

I love gyros but was a tad bit let down by these! The portion was good, but the gyros meat was dry! Not good!

I'm sure it's the owner, but he's amazing! Extremely friendly and charismatic. The food is fresh and cooked to perfection! And the restaurant is VERY CLEAN. You can't go wrong with the chicken kabob dinner or anything on the menu for that matter. And I'm a big fan of the cream of chicken soup! All around great experience, a very homey atmosphere. But the best part was witnessing him help a guy whose wife ordered at the wrong location! And honoring his order! Highly recommend this place can't wait to try more menu items! read more
