Over-Rated. We ordered a plethora of food. 2 cheeseburgers, a gyro, cheese fries, a pizza puff and mozzarella sticks. Every item listed above was very bland and tasteless. Even the kids wouldn't eat the pizza puff. The only one who liked the burgers was the dog, who had it for dinner after we didn't want to finish our food. You want a good char-burger? Go down the street to Portillos. You want a good gyro? Go anywhere else read more

This place is so gross. I've tried this place twice while living in the area for 5 years and both times were a huge disappointment. I tried it for the second time about three years later thinking it was going to be good. Yuck. read more

Place has gone down hill visit after visit. May stop eating here. For a Greek place, you'd think the Grecian chicken would be a safe bet (and good benchmark). Dengeos' is just a roasted chicken served with a lemon wedge. The flavor is as plain as it gets: no lemon, no garlic, no oregano. And their Grecian potatoes? They taste fine, but they never cook them long enough. Not much good can be said about a half-cooked potato. The steak sandwich is tough, the gyros are dry, and they routinely forget sauces or sides. I think this has been downgraded to a "pass". read more

We didn't feel like driving all the way to burger baron and we ordered a couple of cheeseburgers. I am sorry the quality of food doesn't come even close to burger baron cheeseburgers. Once you have the best everything else is mediocre and burger baron serves the same dishes with a 1000% better taste. Better philly, better gyros better italian beef i just got spoiled with their wonderful food nothing else will be as good. I wish they were closer. When you are coming from the oposite direction and have been driving for a while it is not doable to drive to golf snd arlington hts rd :{ Dengeos you're ok but honestly not as delicious as bb read more

The food here is awesome, the problem is, I wash the cooks, prepare food with no gloves, sometimes sweaty, and God knows where their hands have been. And usually when I call in my order when the guys answer never a problem but when the Spanish girl answers she is completely rude and when you want something a certain way, she seems to have an attitude every time other than that I have a recommend the food. But they really need to have their staff wear gloves. I'm probably gonna call the health department. read more

Ordered the chicken "gyro" for delivery. Got a pile of Oscar Meyer chicken sandwich meat cooked in a frying pan. You can see the circular edges of the slices. Gross. read more

Dengeos - Gross - Greek Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

I just picked up a combo beef/sausage sandwich and a side order of mushrooms. The order was ready as promised. When I got home I found that the order of mushrooms was very generous and I amazed at the amount of beef on the sandwich. I was able to leave 1/2 of the sandwich for lunch tomorrow. I will definitely be back. read more

Being pregnant I am now craving different kinds of food weekly. One evening I was craving a chicken gyros and since I live directly across the street the place is easy access for me to get to. When I placed my order there wasn't a long wait and I requested Tzatiki sauce a few of them at that. I wasn't charged extra for the sauce and I was given a few. I also love the fact that they keep lemons out in their beverage area. I love putting lots of lemon on my chicken gyros and pita so instead of driving the people who work there crazy with requesting that as well I'm able to take as many lemon wedges as I'd like. AWESOME! I ordered my food to go and when I arrived home everything was warm, flavorful and fresh! I also added a side order of their delicious Greek potatoes where I squeezed additional lemon juice on. This lemon addict feels you can never have enough lemon especially in yummy delicious Greek food like this! I've been dining at Dengeo's for many years so this review was long overdue! I'll be back again soon for my chicken gyros and Greek potatoes fix! read more

Everything about this place is very average. Classic burgers, sausages, dogs and various sandwiches. The Grecian chicken, kabobs and Greek salad however, are where it's at. No matter what you order Dengeos won't leave you hungry with their massive portions. Dine in or takeout, either way you can't go wrong. read more

I was really craving their gyros sandwich so I headed out there in middle of the blizzard like conditions to get some for the whole family. We've eaten there a few times in the past when I used to live near by there and had pretty good experience. When I got the food home and started to eat, I thought the taste was a bit off when I took my first bite. Couldn't tell if it was the meat or the sauce but it definitely did not taste like traditional Gyros sandwich (let's just say I've had quite a few many in my life time). I barely took a couple of bites and just couldn't finish it. Had a taste I couldn't explain. It wasn't till the rest of my family started to comment about the strange taste that I realized it wasn't just me, the food tasted weird. It wasn't terrible but it definitely didn't taste like it used to. They do have great customer service though and the guy who gave me my order was super nice. I hope this was just an off day. Hopefully the food will be better next time. read more

When I got out of my car and walked up to the door it was blocked up by a line of lunch time customers all eager to get out of the cold. No problem the three cashiers that were on lunch duty moved them with remarkable speed. They have efficiently nailed down! Can't say anymore about the food that hasn't been said before. It's all good! Gyros are one of the best, but I do have a couple of favorites I like better. Greek chicken and salads are highlights for me. Service, value, great food served hot, plenty of seating. Done! read more

Dengeos - Gyro plate with Greek potatoes - Greek Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

YUM. I think if there is one way to describe this place is a Greek-style version of Portillos. I went here for the first time with my husband and we asked their recommendation about the food. The two girls went back and forth about their favorite dishes and how fun it is to work here. NOTHING gets my vote more than enthusiastic people at the job their are at. We settled on the meatball sandwich and the gyros plate with greek potatoes. It was all very good. Everything tasted fresh, was delicious, and was plenty of food. We had fun sitting out on the patio and loved people watching. It was fun to see all the families coming to the restaurant after baseball, soccer, and dance practice. This is a great place for families and I'd highly recommend it. Small complaint: gyros plate only came with 1 pita, which wasn't enough. If you order it, make sure to get more than one pita. read more

I have dined previously inside and really liked the family feel of the place they didn't hurry you to eat and get out. Now doing curbside MAKE SURE TO CALL THEM DIRECTLY that way they won't loss any money. Their seafood salad is great and everything has been great. Don't for get to tip for service read more

I had never heard of (or noticed) this place until a friend suggested we meet here for an early dinner a couple days ago. It's a gyro/hot dog/burger joint that is very similar to Portillo's and other locally-owned Greek/hot dog joints. Although I don't eat these things anymore, I still love going to the restaurants. Dengeos doesn't really have vegan options (aside from a salad and some sides) so I asked for a pita with grilled vegetables in it. The only vegetables they have are onions and peppers, so I said that was OK. I also requested some tomatoes and lettuce on top of it. I explained to the cashier that I don't eat meat, blah blah blah. After I placed my order, I realized the price was a bit high. I checked the receipt and noticed the girl charged me for a chicken pita. Baffled, I asked the guy behind the counter why I was paying so much for a simple pita with some vegetables in it ("Why should I pay for the price of the chicken if I'm not getting chicken in it?"). Apparently the girl thought I wanted a chicken pita and had asked for extra vegetables on top of it. And this is after I explained that I don't eat meat and made a big deal about wanting on vegetables. Really?! How can you mess that up? (And why do places keep messing up my order these days? Is it my fault?) Fortunately, the guy was willing to refund me for the extra cost and switched my order around. Yay! The pita with vegetables? Delicious! They stuffed it with a good amount of vegetables and the crinkle french fries I got on the side were as good as any other place. The only thing I didn't like was that my vegetables were not cooked at all, as I had requested, but I was tired of being picky so I ate it anyway. I felt satisfied. My friend and I ended up staying there nearly two hours, just catching up on life. When we arrived, there was barely anyone dining, but by the time we left (6pm on a Monday night), the place was getting busy. That's a good sign that this is a good place to go. read more

This is a quick-service place that has decent food. I actually haven't been there for a while, but used to go there for a change of pace. I remember they had a great Caesar salad that comes with awesome garlic bread. I don't think I can put my finger on it, but I always got a funny feeling when I went there that everyone was looking at us... or something. It's like they didn't know who we were and so we didn't belong? I don't know... Still went whenever we felt like it, though. read more

Last week a coworker & I ordered lunch via GrubHub. We got the Chicken Kabob Plate Dinner, Greek Potatoes & Chicken Stir Fry Dinner. Both came with a warm pita & tzatziki sauce! We received a lot of food for a great price. The food was great, the delivery was fast. 10/10 will order again. In the past, I've only gotten burgers from Dengeos. I will definitely be ordering the stir fry again! It was the perfect amount of teriyaki sauce drizzled on. read more

Usually love there food but nothing worse than getting home to discover they screwed up the order. I got a Chicken breast salad with no chicken. Called back and they said they would credit for the chicken which should have been whole salad. Checked today and it was lip service no credit at all read more

Food is always great. Great menu selection and the Creamy Milkshake is out of this world.

I been eating Dengeos for a long time, always used to go to the one off dempster and McCormick. Al their food is good, but I love the bbq or Greak chicken with the bread, cole slaw and potatoes. Highly recommend! read more

They have consistent quality, with well cooked hamburgers, ribs, chicken, gyros and fish. They have been pleasing local palettes for fifty years. And they stay clean and well prepared. read more

The place is clean and has a nice ambiance. We are looking for a place to dine in and we found ourselves here. We know this place but we never had any experience and it is our first time. Staffs are quite friendly and accommodating. They have a wide selection on their menu. We ordered a lot than expected because we are excited to try their food. Food came fast and every food we ordered has a huge portion. Food tastes good but it has nothing special to it but we would still dine in here again if ever. Prices are not bad at all. read more

Quality of food horrible. Service is even worse. Stay away. Don't waste your money here

I have going to this restaurant for 20 yrs and today I had the most unpleasant experience with the owner and his name is Louie. I got baked spaghetti entrée that cost $9.50. I picked up the food brought it home and found there was very little sauce on it and like a little bit of melted cheese in the corner of the of the container see pic. I called and spoke to Louie who told me if I wanted my money back or a replacement I needed to drive back and he would give me a new one. He refused to give me a credit. This pasta, tomato sauce and a little bit of cheese probably cost him a dollar but I got charged $9.50. What a rip off and shame on the owner Louie for serving this dish and his restaurant. You're a rip off Louie I'm sad to say I will never ever ever come back to your restaurant again. He also hung up on me by the way. What great customer service Louie!! I hope you're very proud of yourself. read more

Dengeos - Greek Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

You must come here for a gyro plate!!! 5 stars because it's one of the best I've had. They give you a TON of meat and you hud it yourself so you will walk away full. It's cooked well and so yummy. The amount of food it fantastic and its well process. They have great desserts and you can get them to go which is even better. They do get busy but there is ample seating. If you are coming for lunch, I recommend coming here early (11:30) to avoid the rush. You order your food and then seat yourself (similar to portillos) If gyros are not your thing, they have many other options from Italian beef to grilled cheese. They have salad and other Greek food. Everyone in your party could find something to eat. read more

No social distancing, no mask enforcement, no interest on management's part to correct this.

Great delivery experience. Very quick and great tasting. My only complaint was that I couldn't get my special requests to save on my order on the Yelp ap. read more

Great service and food was all good. Been eating at Dengeos for years!:-) thanks! Keep up the good work

I've had serval items on the menu and I must say I've never been disappointed. Great staff and service.

It's run of the mill casual Greek fare - I can't recommend the actual food. They're pretty quick on carry out orders, but the entrees could be cooked a bit better. Their wraps are kind of flimsy/over dressed and the chicken doesn't have much flavor to it. Their angus burgers are okay. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years now and it does not disappoint! They have a great extensive menu and delicious food. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

I'm not the type to swear on a review, but this shit was straight dog ass gave me food poisoning from the fish sanwich. They never gave me a receipt , n I wasn't able to get a refund read more

Meh. The gyro doesn't have much taste at all and is one of the smallest I've ever had. The tzatziki is literally weak sauce. The whole damn thing was cold temperature wise. The one saving grace is pretty, pretty, prettay good pita. Contrast this with a surprisingly good greek salad, which they call the greek village salad. Like real greek salad there is no lettuce. Veggies were crisp and fresh tasting. They are generous with the bountiful feta cheese and vinaigrette is tasty, if not oily. Also points for nice modern interior and ample parking. read more

This restaurant is not that far from buffalo grove highschool. It's right next to Hakuya and it's sucha hard reaction to make sometimes. The owner often agrees to help the high schools class board out by doing deals to help fund the local community! The food is very good too. Definitely get a euro if you are going there. I'm Not even Greek, I'm Italian but the restaurants food tastes like something you would eat at a family gathering. Very pleased with the restaurant and thankful it's in the community. Euro salads are also very good. The pop machine is also clean which check them some restaurants are not as clean as this. read more

Really good food! Especially the salads. I also like the cheeseburgers, the meatball sandwich, and the Italian beef & sausage. It's all good! read more

I have been dining at this place for years and it never disappoints. Its a staple of the NW Burbs for chicken, gyros, beefs and good food. The service is always top notch, staff is friendly, there is a lot of room and you never have to wait for a seat. The restaurant is clean and very well kept. I am a big fan of the chicken gyros plate, very moist, plentiful with a good size order of tomatoes, lettuce, fries and a pita. I have had the regular gyros before and it was also very good. I could also suggest the chicken Caesar pita, very good. Overall, give this place a try, you'll be happy with it. read more

I order from this place periodically, but I think I've had it. They can't even fill very small orders correctly. When they ignore instructions like no sauce on an gyros sandwich they have RUINED THE PERSON'S MEAL!! read more

I love this place - perfect location to my home. Food is always good! I love their cream of chicken soup, sandwiches and cheese fries! The chicken gyro is also a favorite item! read more

I'm a regular customer in Dengeos - Skokie. I stopped in Dengeos - Buffalo Grove because I'm moving close, but it was very disappointed. The food is good but the place is very dirty, I counted almost 7 tables with dirty dishes and during the time that I was eating there nobody came to clean it. We are a family of 5 and we seat in 2 different tables that were cleaned by ourselves. When we were almost done, a lady was complaining about her potatos. The problem was the owner came out and he was screaming at her. He was rude trying to solve a problem with a customer. The people calling for the order numbers need to be training in customer service and try to be polite as well. Dengeos - Buffalo Grove has a lot to learn from Dengeos - Skokie. read more
