This is one of the worst places I've been too. First off, the chicken was sour and greasy and just tasted bad. Second, the fries were cold, and tasted like nothing. There are other good places around the area to spend your money on, don't waste your money here. read more

Maybe th gyro I've ever had. Place is legit. Went for a late lunch and ordered the gyro plate. OMG ... huge portions! I had enough meat for 3 gyro sandwiches. I live in MN so good gyros are hard to come by ... this hit the spot!! I wish I didn't have to stop eating because I was so full. Super flavorful meat. The pita was warm and soft ... my guess is they make them in house or at least get them from somewhere that makes real deal pitas. A lot of places have prepackaged pitas that aren't much different than what you get from the grocery store. Not the case here. Highly recommend! read more

I was very disappointed this afternoon at the restaurant. I ordered a hot dog. My bun was very hard and cold. They were not busy but the men putting the order together know better than to serve that sandwich that way. I came to order food for the family, but left with not ordering anything else. I told the employee inside who offered me another hot dog but i had already ate mine and did not want another nor a refund. The outside eating area is very nice,but the garbage was overflowing. I did tell the employees. read more

This place actually had the audacity to sell me a Greek salad, from out of a bag! The price was a staggering 10.46$ !!!!!!! Eating it i couldn't help feeling, "Dear Lord! This isn't even a good salad, and if I want crap like this I can go to any truck-stop!" I'm a fair man. The previous owners had fair prices. I loved going there especially for the wonderful Greek salad with grilled chicken on top. They were decent people and never had the egotism to charge a jaw-dropping $10.46!!!!! Good Lord! It's only a salad with chicken. NEWS FLASH.....YOU ARE IN NILES, NOT GLENCOE! NOT KENILWORTH! NOT LAKE FOREST! Everybody I know around town, the working people who hold very low-playing, soul-crushing jobs around Niles, constantly tell me they can't afford to eat at places like Goodi's because "It's too expensive." And believe me, I told everybody how great the food at Goodi's was when the previous owners were there. I recently dined in Winnetka, and here's the thing about that...most residents in that community will pay 10.46 for a Greek salad...because most of the people who live in places like Winnetka are doctors, attorneys etc...and they don't get paid 8 bucks an hour! You can charge them an arm and a leg and they might go for that. It would still be greedy to over-charge anybody, but the richest communities in Illinois have money to spend, much more money to spend than the average Niles resident, and that's exactly why you see moms driving Porsche SUVs around the North Shore. But this is Niles! Most residents I meet are hurting. They shop at Walmart for the cheapest food, and eat generic soup out of the can for lunch because they tell me that's the best way to stretch their puny income. Go see what their reaction will be when you tell them you'd like them to pay 10.46 for a salad. You would think being Greek and Christian the owners would feel ashamed even at the thought of serving too-expensive, lousy food. But they seem immune to learning anything that could help their business succeed. If that was my restaurant and I devoted all of my time and energy to it, I wouldn't dare serve food out of a bag to the people of this community and screw them with ridiculous prices. There's a reason PITA INN across the street is overflowing with customers! Goodi's owners have lots to learn, most of all HUMILITY. They don't seem to factor in the cost of losing once great customers, and they don't seem to care about the quality of their food!!! When you work for money and not for love the world always becomes a more miserable place for all of us. The cost of greed should be intolerable to every mother and father on the planet who love their children and love the world and want to see the world become a place of love and happiness for all living beings. Alas, everybody loves to bow down to $$$$$$$$ The consequence of serving lousy food and charging way too much is that once valued customers YELP! to everybody about the bad experience they had, and let them know to never waste their money at Goodi's restaurant. Lastly, it's incredibly selfish forcing all your customers to watch TV and especially the news with all the horrific, tragic events of the world while families are trying to eat a meal. It amazes me that these owners would never dare consider playing pleasant music that actually makes people feel good to be there! Music greatly improves ambience...especially in a restaurant. Television has really become a cancer in our world and you can't sit down to meal without the glowing box of death everywhere you go. It makes the eating experience extremely unpleasant, but good luck trying to express that to the owners of Goodi's. Good restaurants don't need TV! The Pita Inn has played music for thirty years non-stop and I believe it's one of the reason they are successful. Because to be THERE is a happy experience, not a dismal and depressing one. The heart of Goodi's problem...if you don't respect yourself...how can you respect your customers? ~*~ read more

Went there this weekend as it was it was in the entertainment book with a 50% discount. Placed my order and gave her my phone to get the discount. She said she needed to get the manager as she didn't know what to do??? Manager says it's not the correct coupon? Read the coupon out loud and it was the correct location! He wouldn't take it? Why on earth sign up for the coupon if you won't honor it. Clearly lost a customer! It looked kind of dingy anyway. read more

The best place for me, definitely! One of the greatest resto here in United states. Love their foods, it is their high light of course and it suits it perfectly. I already gotten in here several times and I would always order their Spinach pie, Rice pilaf, Chicken kebab and fries. Really, really recommend those. The size portion of this place is also amazing, it is definitely a great deal since their food would really get your cravings. Their service is also phenomenal, they have very friendly, patient, professional, polite and responsible staff which is a very good thing. I would always ask for their opinions about the menu and they would answer very proper on to it. Really neat people, actually. I also love the vibe of this place, very immaculate and unique. Their place is neat, clean, bright, and well-organized. Would definitely set up your mood and you would really like the ambiance inside. Great place, professional people to be with, neat and high quality foods. definitely would go back here again if I finally had my free time. Thank you for the wonderful experience and neat service! Keep up the great work guys! Neat and nice, Kudos! read more

A typical diner but with really funny characters behind the counter. They made me laugh. Also I have to say that their chocolate cake is the best I have had in a very, very long time. Who knew? read more

Yay! The best thing about my new part time job is that it is next to Goodi's! Another nurse and I, for lunch break from a a boring, ahem, I mean wonderful orientation. We decided to walk next door for lunch. They have almost everything here. From hot dogs, ribs, baklava, carrot cake Had a hot dog, fries and diet pepsi. Food given in timely manner. And yummy! In Niles, if you wanna get your baklava fix on dis is de place read more

Great place, for a quick bite at a good price. They have Greek and American food, with great burgers and sandwiches, including shish-ka-bobs and gyros. You order at the counter and they call it out when it's ready. The staff is friendly and helpful. They also have delivery. Great family run place. Salads and desserts, too. read more

Not only is the food amazing, but the service is unbelievable!!!!! They actually appreciate their customers and go out of their way to make people smile!!!!! I love their chicken kabob plate, burgers, and their cream of chicken soup!!!!! Everything is fresh!!!! I'm the world we live in, it's so nice to see that there are still good people!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant for the quality of their food, and they are so friendly!!!! Thanks for making my day everytime I've stopped in!!!! read more

In Niles Greek gyro places still come complete with Greek accents, and Goodi's leads the charge. Great burgers and gyros and reasonably priced half rotisserie chickens keep me fat and happy. The decor was probably depressing in 1974 and continues to be unfortunate, but I don't go there for the ambiance. read more

Greek owned......I could say enough said but I have to rave about the Athenian Steak dinner. Now...I was under the impression it was a a steak sandwhich....Nope. (Not Chuck Testa) Got a small side of garlic bread but decent amount of meat....anf boy was it good and tasty....my buttdy got fries but I got potatoes. I didn't move for an hour.....apparently...the owner used to work there before and wanted to... I will come back . My friend also and thouroughly enjoyed our repast. read more

Ugh What a disappointment. Wasted $11.20 Got an Italian Beef, Dipped with hot peppers and Moz, Onion Rings and a lge soda. The beef was inedible. Dry (I guess they do not know what dipped means??!!) and tasteless. The portion was HUGE but since it was inedible, that means I just threw out more food! Onion rings were frozen and not fresh. And I hate diet Pepsi. Counter service was surly and the wait was about 10-12 people with only 2 other couples in the restaurant. Save your money and go to a place that actually cares. read more

If I could give a lower rating I would.never been anywhere that messed up a hotdog.it was anemic and had half an onion on it. Most of the people around me felt the same way as most people ended up throwing away half of what they ordered. read more

Goodi's has been at this location for a number of years. I decided to give it another try after seeing their UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT signs. To my knowledge, nothing has changed to the build-out or decor--it looks just like it did under the old management. Their menu is extensive and a bit odd. For example, they offer both a regular and deluxe hamburger. The deluxe, I believe comes with lettuce and tomato for an additional fee. I ordered a chicken kabob sandwich. I've had this sandwich at Booby's and Dengeo's, so I have a basis for comparison. You place your order with a cashier and they call your number to pick up your food items. My sandwich was served on a very tiny pita bread, contained few pieces of tomato and grilled onion, besides the four pieces of chicken. The chicken was tender without a lot of flavor. The portion size was small for its $5.95 price. There is a self-serve Coca Cola fountain. For me, tastier food at a better value can be obtained at Celli's Beef, a bit south of Goodi's, on Milwaukee Avenue (near Oakton). read more

If I was to rank the North Shore best "Greek" greasy spoons, this place would come in last. (Dengeos is #1) I have eaten here a few times, when in the neighborhood, but would not make the drive here. Food: Mediocre at best and I have had the gyros, Italian Beef and the chicken kabob. The rice that came with the kabob was dry and lacked flavor. The pita served with entrees is warm, but not toasted; so its still a bit soggy from the flattop. Decor/Etc: West side of the restaurant is well lit, while the east with the plasma tv is very dim. Tables not bussed, as it appears the son that does the expediting also cleans the tables, while mom takes the orders. I guess they do not do enough volume to add another body. Trays, dishes and silverware piled up on the trashcan. Several tables dirty, had to pass a few until I found a clean one. Service: Not much to say, nothing special; not even an "Enjoy your meal" comment when I picked up the food at the counter when they called my tix#. I am stretching this review to 3 stars, more like 2.5 read more

Food is delicious. Finest quick and hot. They have THE best fries, very unique to them. Not to mention, I don't know if it's the manager or owner but he's incredibly kind. This is definitely a local business that should be supported. Love this place. read more

The hamburgers and gyroswere among the best in fast food grease places Tge place also is more of scale than most of your giro places in the Chicago area. The place is clean and has now door patio for all to use. There is plenty of parking and The food service was excellent and very fast for one I ordered. The Gyros were very tasty and the French fries were awesome as well. This place even serves A 1 sauce which you hardly ever find in fast food grease places. This business offers quality food read more

Just stopped by to buy a large soup to go. But I usually have their chicken kabob with rice and a salad. It's a special. Under $10, for lunch and it's always great. Stop by and try it. read more

I love this place. It's super close to home and the food is great. Everything is definitely "Grecian style." I've never had something from here that didn't taste good. From the appetizers to soups to entrees, there's something for everyone! The menu item that I recommend most would definitely be the Grecian potatoes. I promise you, they will leave you wanting more! Check this place out! read more

Too bad they took over Fluky's - Goodi's has okay food, nothing to write home about, and it seems to take a while for the staff to cook your order. Gyros are just okay and edible, skirt steak sandwich has meat that is very tough to chew (should be tenderized a bit more), but that is the extent of what I ate there - otherwise, they have the usual salads, burgers, dogs. Unless if you don't want to go to the crappy food court in Golf Mill shopping mall or the blah Taco Bell nearby, I'd try to avoid Goodi's when you can go for better food at the Works towards the east or Photo's in the west... read more

I am a road warrior and eat out often. I found Goodi's by accident and what a find. The food is good, I especially enjoy the ribs and the deserts are excellent. But what I really enjoy is the family environment. Everytime I walk in they recognize my face even though it's been months since I've been back. There is a comforting feeling being there. My company branch HQ is here and many of us rotate through here several times per year. Since I first found this place I drag my groups here. My guys rave about the food, the prices and the atmosphere and it's quickly becoming our hot spot. See you there...... read more

They serve all standard Greek fare, plus burgers and the Vienna line up. I like to get the dogs here, but I'm not a fan of their tomato slices, relish, pickles, or sporties. I usually settle for the Polish with mustard and onions. End result is to par with Portillos. I'm going back soon to try their Italian beef, which I hear is awesome from neighbors. read more

The chicken and rib dinner was yummy. Both the chicken and ribs were cooked perfectly, the garlic bread it was service in was flavorful and nicely crisped on the outside. Fries were pretty good. Good deal, $2 beer with a meal. The staff was friendly but were having loud conversations on the floor. No big deal, just not what I wanted to hear while I was enjoying ribs. read more

I placed my order thru Grubhub so perhaps some of the issues I have is with them, but overall I was not happy with the food quality and pricing. To start, the prices I was charged were significantly higher than what appears on Goodi's website menu. I was buying lunch for myself and two Grandsons. As I was ordering, I was quite surprised by the prices but continued with the order because we had a limited amount of time. The menu didn't state that fries were included with the burgers so I included two orders of fries that ended up in the trash. The kids meal hotdog cost $7.49 and was supposed to include a drink which we didn't receive. $7.49 FOR JUST A PLAIN HOT DOG, REALLY??! The delivery of $.99 sounded great - but an additional service fee of $2.31?? The final straw was when I realized my 20% tip was based not only on the total for my food, but on the delivery charge, extra fee and TAX! Seems that should be illegal! read more

Food: Under new management and the chicken kabob is very good now and more flavorful and generous then prior owner's version. Place looks the same just new management. I can't comment on the rest of food since this is the only go to item I always get. But it compares very good to other kabob's I have had. Service: If you get take out, make sure to check your order. I had issue with mine and then guy comes in upset because they messed up his order too. They got a very young girl working the front and she could care less to be there and get your order right. No apologies from the girl, but ones from the management staff. Perhaps she is family but its not doing this business no good. read more

I thought this place looked pretty sketchy from the outside but the food is actually really good. It reminds me of better quality fast food. With lots of variety in its menu. I got the spinach and cheese puff pastry which was huge. It was tasty. It wasn't spectacular but it certainly hit the spot. The chicken kabob platter comes with French fries and salad. The chicken is a bit dry but that's how I like it. The French fries here are incredible. Definitely get the fries. read more

I ordered a cheeseburger from here on Uber Eats. On the Uber Eats menu is says that cheeseburgers come with lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayonnaise onion, cole slaw, and fries. When my burger was delivered it came with nothing except cheese. When I called the restaurant to ask what happened the woman on the phone actually yelled at me and told me it wasn't her problem and I should have known better and that if the menu is wrong then it's uber'a problem. I have never experienced such awful customer service in my life. She actually blamed me and made no move to listen to me or work with me about the problem. The burger was also dry and not very good. read more

Goodi's Restaurant - Menu description that says what cheeseburger comes with. - Greek Near Me - Niles, Illinois

A few years ago, I had a heart problem, so I visit a cardiologist from time to time. Fortunately, I exercise daily and maintain an exceptionally strict health regimen to remain in amazingly good shape for an old fossil. I was returning from a successful checkup where he told me that I am in extremely good shape; so I decided to celebrate by going to a place that had some not-so-healthy food - just this once. I decided upon Goodi's because I had a $5 off coupon, I was going to pass by on my way back, and I had not been there in several years. I did not know that the place had new management, and that it was more of a Greek-style restaurant than the hot dog palace I recall it once was. "Frankly," I think the last time I was there, the place was called Fluky's, a well-known Chicago-style hot dog joint. I vaguely recall that it was sold off 10+ years ago, and the name was changed. They used to attract crowds there on Friday summer nights when they sponsored antique auto owners to display their cars in their lot as an attraction to draw business. Well, I entered with good intentions to order something non-healthy; but I chickened out and ordered a chicken sandwich. The sandwich was listed on their "healthy" menu. Goodi's uses a counter service approach, and the menu resembles what you would experience at a Greek restaurant more than anything else. The restaurant looks a little tired, and could probably use some renovation and deep cleaning I know that many of the reviews were critical of Goodi's, but I experienced none of the negative issues they reported. I experienced no problems with the staff nor with anybody's attitudes. The sandwich was prepared correctly, and I thought that everything was within normal expectations for a place like Goodi's. read more

I am a regular costumer but I am not going to be anymore as the last time that I made an order online my food was extremely delayed so I called to cancel it. It is the first time that I had to face with so bad costumer service, an employee started yelling at me and screaming that it is not his fault but uber's driver fault. Furthermore, a lady interrupted me all the time as she was trying to speak on top of my voice. The food it's okay but I definitely not recommend this place to anybody. It was the worst costumer service. read more

Not sure if it was owner, but very rude. Needs to have better customer service. If customer wants to change order they should have no problem if they are willing to pay. Its not like they are asking for free. We always go there, but with that type of behavior, i am not sure i would go there again. Sorry with that attitude, he just lost a customer and more. Not surebif he had a bad day, but it is not how you treat a paying customer. Left that place very upset. read more

Diner with Greek/Mediterranean options. I've only had the gyros platter/sandwich. Every time I've gone here, it's been pretty empty. The pita is definitely made with butter. So unhealthy but so tasty! The meat flavoring is the closest taste to Zorba's (of Champaign, IL notoriety) that I can find up north. Cafeteria/diner-like setting. Not the cleanest and they don't regularly wipe off the tables as far as I could see. Not great. But not bad. Order to go or just eat at a fast pace. read more

Best chicken and rib plate I ever , the rice was real Homemade and yummy , just like my mom would make it, finally ate good out that night. , Good greek food read more

I work in Niles, this is the second time I order lunch from here. The food was good - The only thing I didn't like is that I ordered a side of Greek potatoes and they give me 3 measly wedges. That come out to be a dollar a wedge. I did call to ask if I was only suppose to get 3 pieces and she said yes, so good know. They also messed up my order and gave me fries instead of rice. I called them to let them know about the fries mix up they told me I can pick up the rice like I said I'm at work, and we're busy so now I will be sure to verify my order twice. read more

The meals were delicious! Though I have to say smoking outside while there are so many people/ and younger kids around has been really rude, and disrespectful. Especially when Covid-19 is around nowadays. I hope too come back, and next time enjoy my food in a smoke-free environment. read more

Stay away from this restaurant. The food quality is poor and the service is rotten. The owner discriminates against customers and has a negative demeanor. Your money is best spent elsewhere. read more
