Fresh food. Gyros salad was spectacular. Chicken sub too. Crisp fresh fires. Prompt and courteous service. We will be back.

Paid for 6 hotdogs and received only 4. The food we got was good but disappointing experience. read more

My family and I have been going here for decades! One of the best gyros spots in the Chicago burbs. We catered Mother's Day luncheon from here and again was a huge hit and did not disappoint! Thank you Flips for continuing to serve amazing food for people of the Chicago burbs! read more

I visit Flips nearly every time I'm in the area - grew up in Glen Ellyn. They have great gyros, Italian beef, and dogs. Solid choice for good Chicago food. This place has been here forever and you can see why - great food and good value. read more

Always the best food and fresh fries. Dynamic gyros. Classic hot dogs and burgers too.

Flips is fantastic food, great service, friendly staff and although I've only eaten inside there once it was kept very clean!

Fast, fresh, clean and reasonable pricing. Today I had a sub sandwich (much better than Jersey subway etc.). Last week I had Italian beef ( much better than buono Portillo). Two weeks ago I had a gyros salad and Greek fries. #KeepItUp ! read more

I love the burgers and onion rings, and my husband loves their gyros! They offer some pretty decent rewards as well.

They're currently having a BOGO offer. Called in my order, when I got there the line was 7 deep. Stepped to the pickup window and they couldn't seem to find my order. Needed to get back in line to pay. Cashier made my shake and proceeded to wait for my order. After the numbers being called were after mine, I stepped back up. He had some of my order on the shelf? He nearly forgot about the cheese cup and the root beer. Once we got home noticed that he forgot a fries, after I went over the order twice! Was told ten minutes on the phone and ended up waiting 30 minutes. Staff don't work well under pressure and really didn't seem to care. read more

Disappointed and Disheartened at Flips in Glen Ellyn Well, I guess Flips in Glen Ellyn decided to flip the script on compassion and common sense today. A woman who's been a regular there was denied service...not because of anything dramatic but because she had her 3-pound Yorkie, Jax, with her. Jax isn't exactly Cujo; he's a licensed service animal, tiny enough to fit in a purse, and far more polite than most humans I've seen at brunch. Here's the kicker: this wasn't her first visit. She's brought Jax before without issue. So either the staff suddenly forgot Illinois law regarding licensed service animals... or they've decided that empathy and awareness aren't on the menu anymore. Look, maybe they're just genuinely unaware that denying access to someone with a documented service animal is not only heartless but also legally questionable. Ignorance of the law might not be bliss, but apparently, it's the house special. If Flips doesn't "believe in" service animals, that's cute ...but unfortunately, federal law isn't faith-based. Here's hoping they take a moment to educate themselves before flipping off another loyal customer and her tiny, well-behaved dog. read more

Best shakes in the world. Amazing staff, delicious gyros and Greek potatoes. Serious portions! read more

Great Greek food at fantastic prices. Place is clean, helpings are more than generous, service is friendly, what more could you ask for?

The beefs are very good, better than most/all of the chains. The burgers are good enough to compete with the chains that specialize in good burgers (meaning, I really like them) Had a triple yesterday.. might go for the quad next time. I still haven't tried the Gyro's but they look great (for some reason, I always want a beef or a burger when I go there) The fries are sometimes very good and sometimes ok, It all comes down to freshness. Sometimes my fries are piping hot and sometimes lukewarm... yesterday was a lukewarm day. You know what's great? Their portions.. the regular fry is ample.. I always get the large, but I really like to treat myself. I'd do 5 stars for sure if they could figure out the fry thing. I'd still prefer "fresh cut" fries, but their regular cut fries are really tasty when they're hot. They have an awesome menu. There's so much to take in.. it's just fun. Also, they totally fixed the sign, looks great! Parking is always easy. It's pretty much a don't miss place.. if you like this kind of food (you know, like a normal person) If you are going down the street to Buona.. you are missing out.. the beefs are better at Flips and while the fries are similiar.. the value is all Flips! On the burger front.. the same thing can be said about That Burger Joint (also down the street).. Flips.. better burger.. and the fries are a preference thing.. TBJ has Fresh Cut fries but they're those skinny ones and the portions aren't so great for the $. You know.. just skip those places and go to Flips.. support this fine local business. read more

My quest to find the best gyros in the area continues... I was nearby and didn't have a ton of time and had never been so I stopped in for takeout. They have a nice size outdoor patio and plenty of seating inside. It's much like your typical beef stand anywhere in the Chicago area. order at the counter and they make it quickly while you wait. I was greeted immediately by the friendly cashier and perused the menu. They have a quite a lot of choices - Italian beef, hotdogs, burgers, sausage, gyros, subs, and salads, so you get more variety here than some other places. There are also a few specialty items on the menu - I loved that they had corresponding pictures and descriptions underneath to explain what each one was. I recommend coming in once or twice before you order to-go or for delivery. I settled on the 'maxed out gyros' which was an extra portion of meat plus an additional pita as I was bringing home to share with my kid. I also ordered a large fry, ($5!) but after studying the menu a little longer, I could've got a meal with a Drink for about the same price. Live and learn. It was a good portion of fries. I munched on them the whole way home and had plenty left over. I would say they are a cross between McDonald's and Portillo's style. They were hot and fresh. I believe they use Kronos gyros so they are high-quality, and there was plenty to share. We each made a fat sandwich and there was extra tzatziki in the box. Quality of the gyros was top notch, the tomatoes were bright, red and juicy, and the tzatziki was thick and delicious, I was out the door for $21 and we were both stuffed! If it were a little closer, this would definitely be in my regular rotation, but when I'm in the area, I am definitely going to stop in again and try out some other other fun creations! they have a "meat mountain" that I need to get to the bottom of....Definitely recommend... read more

Flips - Maxed Out Gyro plenty for 2 people to share! - Sandwiches Near Me - Glen Ellyn, Illinois

I will not be returning to Flips again! We ordered a couple different things but my mom ordered a cheeseburger a couple times. It has always been greasy, fries cold and greasy and just not worth the price. Last time I ordered a cheese dog and that did it for me; the bun was cold, and they just slapped cheese on the dog! All this for $5plus!! Nope! Not wasting money on them when there are plenty other places! read more

I got Yelp just for this review. Great place people. The menu has so many options and the staff are always friendly. Great atmosphere. If you want a solid meal that comes out hot and quick every time, Flips is your place. I wake up in the morning and immediately crave the chicken philly bowl. Also it's very reasonably priced, and in this economy that is hard to come by. I've never been disappointed by this place. Went in around 5:30 so obviously a busy time and they still were quick with my food. I will be back. Many times. read more

Very iconic place. I love this food here the combo is perfect everytime I get it.. my wife likes the chicken but it changes every time we order it with the cooks so that is why 4 stars here. Service is good. They have seats inside and out if a nice day go outside. read more

This location was the standard when growing up. The hot beef was terrible as was my son's gyros. The dinning area was gross dirty. None of the tables were clean and the floor was sticky and slimy. Better choices near by. read more

Had a gyro and small Greek salad today. Perfectly crisp salad, quite plentiful. The gyros was perfect and quite large, stuffed with meat. Best white sauce I have come across. Finished it off with some baklava, spectacular. All prices fairly. These guys are consistently solid. Many other comparable joynts are not as good. Beef, Polish, subs, Greek fries, combo...I've had it all, zero complaints. I've used them for catering large family gathering too, big hit. #KeepItUp ! read more

the food and the service sucks. what else can I say if you want to be very disappointed eat here.

I have been driving by this spot for awhile. Was never able to stop til now. Parking on the side of the building had some cars, but then I seen the line almost out the door to the place, and was like this place has to be good! And guess what, it was! Small joint, but does have some tables to eat. We opted to take the food to go. Cashier was real nice and patience since it was our first time, we were a little confused. I ordered the Mediterranean dinner, real good! Chicken was cooked to perfection and with the tzatziki sauce....delicious! Came with white rice and geek salad. A lot of food. We also tried the gyro burger and a regular gyro. We all had great things to say about them. Price was reasonable and we all agreed we are going back! There was so many options on the menu, it was hard to decide... read more

Once again, I come in and I have stuff missing out of my order just like before. I'm really tired of giving these places chances and the prices are sky high and the service and the food quality has gone way down. So I got a couple dogs and fries and a tamale bowl and fries I have been getting the tamale boat for years. It looked really weird today I took a bite into it. It was cold, ICE COLD first of all and I just got it The other person in my party is like don't be a Karen and just eat it. I'm like right I just got it and it's ice cold and it tastes like crap I would rather go get some thing else that I'm actually going to eat. I did pay for it then I took a bite of the chili alone I'm thinking why does this taste so weird so I start digging around..... this isn't the same chili that they've been using you know when you vomit because you've had too much to drink and that taste is in your throat. That's what this chili tasted like. I don't know how else to describe it it's that bad! when I went up to get my missing items I asked them did you guys change your chili because it tastes completely different and they said yes we did. How do you like it? It's homemade now I'm said whatever you were using before was better this one is horrible and they asked why don't you like it? I'm said it tastes horrible I can't even describe it. I've been back at my house for over an hour and I can't get the taste out of my mouth it's disgusting so I won't be getting that item ever again so it looks like pretty much I can't eat here anymore. They raise the price of everything and why would you change something that's been selling well that's a good hit with the customers and now I can't get chili there anymore. There's other places. read more

I went with my daughter to purchase dinner. We spent $52.00 .I had taste my fries and they were old and not hot. So I went back I told the lady at the registered she told me to go down to the end. I told the young man with glasses and a beard that my fries were cold and old. So he replace them with hot fries. He ask me if I needed some ketchup I said no I told him I was checking to see if I had all 4 bags of fries. He said to get the hell out. I guess he didn't think I heard him but I did. My feelings was hurt I been coming here since I was 15 yrs old .I'm 66 my family loves flips I own my own catering business. I believe I don't serve anything that I won't eat. I wouldn't say that to know customer in front of them or behind their back. read more

Date: 5-February-2020 Time: Dinner Total (before tip): $19.20 (before a discount) Server: Take out Grade: A+ I have been coming to this place for forever and a day. One of the best hidden gems in Glen Ellyn, IL. We just wanted something quick and simple for dinner, I ended up ordering Gyro plain with the sauce on the side, fries and a drink & my girlfriend ordered Breaded Chicken Wrap. The food came out very quickly and we were on our way. I did not fries, so I gave them to my girlfriend. The Gyro was pretty delicious! I have no idea how they are able to keep so moist and yet firm. It was well seasoned as well. Extremely delicious! Definitely worth trying. And service is always great! A+! read more

Been going here for years. I love the Steak sandwich, they make it with A-1 steak sauce. Their hole menu is really good. Kind staff and if you're in a hurry they get you in and out and if you stay they have a nice patio. They have been around along time and will be here a long time to come. read more

Horrible experience. Owner/manager is clueless on customer service. Checked website for hours for Friday. Open until 9 pm. Arrived at 7:15. Stood in line for 30 minutes. Received food and went to sit and eat and we're told to leave the premises. Workers had been on "there feet for hours " and we needed o leave. Seriously? I'm speechless! Will never return to this establishment. read more

Very tasty food at a good price and with quick service.

Made to order food always outstanding. Best fast food place around. Definitely one of the elites in Chicago land. I tried the Greek chicken shish kabobs one night was excellent! Then I tried the homemade Reuben and I've had the gyros too which are excellent! read more

Great food, always a must-have when I'm in town! Please consider branching out, to Michigan!

For years I'm still going to this place once in awhile. They keep adding food to the menu. I don't know how the cooks can remember so many items. Sunday I got 3 corned beef reubens for St. Pattie's Day. They were good. I couldn't tell if the dressing was thousand island, but it was ok. If you sign up for their rewards you may get something you like. With the reubens I could choose a free side like chips or fries. I got the fries with each. OMG! Lots of free fries. Hot and fresh. Sometimes they offer a discount which is always nice to get. read more

Always enjoy the food from Flips! Large portions, great food, great prices! Never had a meal that I would not have again!

I've been coming to Flips for 18 years to indulge my gyros cravings. The food is fresh, the servings generous, and the staff has always welcomed me with a smile. As mentioned, I tend to get the gyros, but the subs, salads and hamburgers are also excellent. Flips looks like a little hole in the wall but is well kept and has been a Glen Ellyn tradition for decades. read more

Will forever love Flips! Amazing gyros, fries, shakes, and service! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
