It was my first time, I was passing through the area when I noticed the place, and I kinda like Greek food, so I decided to give it a try. It was a little space, but it was clean. Their walls are cool, and there's a painting on them that seems like an ancient Greek painting. The counter staff is pleasant and helpful. Their menu has a limited choice, so I just ordered their chicken gyros platter. I planned to take it with me, but I ended up eating it inside. After a few minutes, the food was ready. It has a wonderful generous portion and by just looking at it was really authentic. It was full of flavor and everything was delicious. Even the pita bread tastes good. I seriously finished it and felt full but satisfied. Another nice fast food in my list. I had a good time. I enjoyed the food and I will definitely be back. read more

It's your standard Gyro place. Plenty of meat, ample fries, good service leaving a good taste in my mouth... as good as can be expected after a gyro that is. read more

This qualifies, to me, as a "good food quickly" sort of place. I have no idea about authenticity of the plates they offer, but they also offer a fair amount of typical diner/grill sorts of food such as burgers, hotdogs, beefs, etc. The majority of the menu is Greek, but they also have "Chicago Favorites" I've only tried a few of the Greek dishes. The Grecian chicken everyone raves about is good, but comes out suspiciously fast. You can tell the chicken, although seasoned nicely and tender off the bone, is probably premade and kept in a conventional heater. The potatoes it comes with are also obviously pre-made, I understand this stuff has to be made in advance to some capacity, but it 'cheapens' the dish a little bit. Having said that, I understand this isn't a fancy restaurant, so for what you get it's actually not bad. The gyros are okay... I've had better elsewhere, but you get a huge serving of the stuff so your buck goes a long way. It's probably sharable to be honest. As for the burgers, they're actually half decent. Nothing fancy or gourmet, but they are actually grilled and they do it to order so nothing is pre-made and kept in plastic steaming trays. When I come here, I often come for a quick burger. Pretty cheap, and satisfying enough. read more

Made a second visit last Friday for lunch; much improved, especially when it comes to gyro meat...this time around, the meat was much more tender and I went with a #3 (Olympic Gyro), which is basically a gyro with the fries in the sandwich but a small Greek salad on the inside as well. A ton of food for $7, and if you BYO, you get out of here for under $8 and the quality was there this time. On a sunny day, you are on the patio and you are getting closer to living the dream of imagining this being, say, the Greek Isles and you are hangin' in Santorini with a beautiful person sitting next to you enjoying the fresh air. Worth another look. But I'm glad to be able to erase the memory of the first visit! read more

Love this place. So authentic I think the cook still has his ticket from the boat he hopped off. Their gyros are second to none and I seriously wish I could eat one everyday. It's my go to when I am super lazy and don't feel like making food; it is never a disappointing meal. Howevaaaa, this place is the Greek version of Chick-fil-a. Greek Corner owner, if you are reading this, PLEASE OPEN THE RESTAURANT ON SUNDAY. If you want to have a day off, close shop on Monday. I don't want a gyro on Monday. Monday is the day I reflect on my weekend and give myself false hope that I won't duplicate the things I did to my body the past two days. And when Sunday comes back around, I don't want, I NEED a gyro, lone and behold you guys aren't open. Your Sunday closes are doing me dirty Greek Corner, and I need you to be open when I need you most. read more

I moved in right across the street from this place around a month ago. Since moving to the neighborhood, I've been 5 times, my roommate has been three times, and my father has been once. The food is solid, but the prices are outstanding, making the overall value proposition great. It's like walking back in time when you enter, with a serious 70s vibe shining through. Everyone is nice and they take care of you quickly. Additionally, there's a great outdoor area if you want to enjoy this awesome weather we've been having recently. Nothing negative to say- this place is awesome and I'm pumped to have it across the street from me. read more

This is a pretty solid spot! I went with the gyro plate and was impressed by the size of the serving. The sad was very fresh and the Greek fries I got for a side were excellent. The gyro meat was very well seasoned but a bit on the dry side. Overall, a really solid spot I'd definitely come back again when in the mood for some quick Greek food! read more

Updated to add another star. When I went back and ordered pastitio (the delightful greek baked pasta with bechamel that I love so dear) and was told they were out, I thought I would cry. But the lady behind the counter insisted on making me some mousaka (nearly the same, but with eggplant instead of noodles), and it was DIVINE. She seems stern, but has a heart of gold! Delicious, delicious gold. Skip the fries or rice pilaf, the roasted potatoes - perfectly seasoned! - are all you need. It sounds expensive, but about $8 gets you a generous slice of mousaka or pastitio, a small greek salad, side of rice or taters, and a honkin' chunk of bread. Plenty, and all delicious! If you're trying to save a few bucks, skip the slice of baklava for $3 and walk over to Farmer's Pride Market on Chicago - you can get a whole plate of them for the same price, or numerous other Greek sweets. read more

The restaurant has a nice location, which is the main reason why I was able to notice it. It was my first time at the restaurant. There is a lot of street parking near it, so parking was not a problem. The restaurant is so small, but it is perfectly clean and bright. The art on their wall got my attention, which was really mesmerizing. It's like Greek art or something that made me think it was an authentic Greek restaurant. Ordering is very easy. The staff behind the counter are very nice and friendly. Their menu is basically a different option for authentic Greek food. I only ordered a gyro sandwich and the Greek fries. I also got a drink, and they have different options for any kind of drink as well. The prices of the food are very reasonable. The service was quick, and I got my order for takeout, so I basically left the restaurant after receiving my order. When I was able to eat the food, I found that the gyro sandwich had a generous portion as well as the Greek fries. The meat on the sandwich was a lot and it was delicious. It tastes fresh and delicious, and the Greek fries are no exception. I definitely like the food. I am glad I ordered it for takeout because I was not able to finish it and I was just able to finish it for dinner on that particular day. Overall, my first experience at this restaurant was good. I like the food and their service. I will definitely be back. I also recommend this authentic and delectable Greek restaurant. read more

Food is inconsistent. Sometimes grea.t. Sometimes the gyros are overcooked and dry. There are always a handful of old Greeks hanging out in there when I have been, and sometimes it is like pulling teeth to get the woman behind the counter to stop socializing and actually take your order. read more

Came here for lunch with a girlfriend and was pleasantly surprised! Pros: quick, easy, delicious, no frills greek food. She had the veggie wrap and I had the chicken wrap. Both really good. Large portions at a decent price. For both of us it was $22.50 for sandwiches and fires. Fries were crispy and hot. I ended up eating mine with a fork because it was so much food. Also great- really cute and quiet outside seating AND BYOB. woo! Love a good BYOB place. Nothing like drinking $10 Pinot out of a Styrofoam cup :) Love the old school tray and basket service style, nostalgia! Cons: I think the only con is that its literally no frills, but honestly, I appreciate that. It keeps the prices down and the service was actually great. If there was anything else I could say was that the chicken wrap didn't have much on it, but they made the chicken to order and it had great flavor. WARNING: CASH ONLY! Look forward to coming back and trying something else! read more

I use to eat here often then Covid hit. Last couple of weeks I have gone by and had my Gyro plate, Greek Salad and Greek Chicken Salad, They have so much more, yet Henrique, the cook, I take my hat off to him Spoudaious Mayeiras!! Today I have a appetite for grape leaves, hmmm! Great atmosphere. Kali Orexi!! - Derrick read more

I had been anticipating going to this restaurant for months especially since it was a local, family owned Greek restaurant. With Greek food being my favorite cuisine, I was so excited and finally found the perfect time to try it out! Unfortunately I went in with high hopes and left with a feeling of disgust & no appetite. Let's just start out with the good because I will always give credit where credit is due: the horiatiki salad was delicious. Substantial amount of tomatoes (my favorite food) plus a hefty amount of cucumbers and onions! Dressing was delicious and had just the right amount on it. Portion size was also good too! Now that we got the good out of the way, let's dive head first into why this restaurant got a measly 1 star from me. As I was midway through my subpar chicken gyros, I came across a literal bug in my sandwich. It was big and it was thoroughly enjoying my sandwich (probably a lot more than I was). When I brought my food up to the counter and politely told them there was a bug in my sandwich I asked for my money back. To my surprise, I was only given the money back from the sandwich: not the rest of the meal that I didn't finish because my appetite was shot. If they actually cared about customer service, they would have refunded me my entire meal and they would have shown a bit more empathy instead of expressing the most bare minimum, lack-luster apology. Needless to say, I will NOT be going back to Greek Corner. I hope they can take their sanitation a bit more seriously, work on their customer service game, and add some more flavor into their chicken gyros! Shame on them! read more

Never been but always was interested. After my mammogram, decided to treat myself to a treat. Scrumptious Greek isle salad with lemon drop soup. Yummy. read more

Greek Corner - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

St. Patrick's Day Haiku: Gyros on pita. I think I'll have another! Fine day to eat out. That's right folks... Ain't nothing more appropriate to do on St. Patrick's Day than to eat Greek fast food outside on a patio! Yes, it was damn near 80 degrees on March 17th... If that isn't a good sign of the end of times, then I don't know what is. I love the fact that I can rely on this place for cheap, good eats, and to top it off: GREEK ELVIS runs the show here. The gyro was good. Plenty of that shaved off meat accompanied by soft pita, shredded lettuce salad, feta hunks and fries cooked to order. Nice patio area to enjoy the sunshine as well. Now, before you try to tell me that I should take St. Patrick's day to celebrate Irish heritage, values, and traditions- let me point out that their culture, history and traditions are far too great to only celebrate it in a day. Besides, all that shitty green-dyed Miller and corned beef you down every March 17th is about as Irish as a nice gyro sandwich... Or as haiku poetry. That's right! Corned beef ain't an Irish tradition... If anything, the Irish hate corned beef for what it stands for and how it brought about even more marginalization from their Brittish over-lords. http://www.kitchenproject.com/history/CornedBeef.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corned_beef read more

Is this the best fast food Greek place Ive ever been to? No. Is this the only fast food Greek place in this neighborhood? Yes. So automatically they get 4 stars for lack of local competition. When a girl needs a gyro, a girl needs a gyro, and they got em! Also, the owner is a hot middle aged Greek Fonzi look alike. He took my order, and then sat down behind the counter and started playing the bouzouki (Greek mandolin-like instrument). And he was damn good too. But I digress... Along with the gyros also get the Greek fries (feta cheese, olive oil, and some delicious spices on top of a mountain of fries). Great place to get your authentic Greasy Greek fix. OPPA! read more

Positives: * well priced greek food in a neighborhood that lack other greek restaurants * great outdoor space in the summer * byob * quick service Negative * can sometimes close early (like at 9p on a Saturday 1 minute before you show up with a six-pack in hand) Still, it's worth the risk. read more

"Order up!" I used to regularly call in orders for Gyro Dinner to pick up on the way home. They were very fast and large. Fries that game with it were crispy but still fresh. Yeah they weren't the best place for friendly service but if you want to just stop in and pick up an order you are good to go. Spinich Pies are large and tasty. But don't bite into them too fast because you will burn your mouth. Took me a week to get that flap of skin on the roof of my mouth to heal. Don't expect high class. Just expect food. That's what you are there for anyway, right? read more

Generally, I like this place -- But an experience I had the other night has soured me a bit. For the last several years, I've been a regular customer here, though I have always gotten my food to-go. I always order the "Gyro Plate" .. which is basically a gyro, with a side, and a small salad. Never before had a problem with this order, and liked the gyro. Last night, I ate in the dining room for the first time. Again, I ordered the Gyro plate. However, this time - the "gyro" did not come as a gyro .. but rather shaved meat with like small pita chips. I guess I was expecting the gyro to be like every other gyro I've ever had in my entire life .. packed in a full peice of pita. This "gyro plate" came with like 8 dorito-sized pita chips .. So - I don't get it? I'm supposed to make 8 tiny mini-gyro wraps? Anyways, I asked the lady behind the counter if I could just get one full piece of pita bread for my gyro meat. She just gave me a weird look and said plainly "this is how it comes." Realizing she wasn't gonna make any effort whatsoever to give me a piece of pita bread, I left. So I don't understand how the Gyro Plate arrives differently if you eat-in versus getting it for carry-out. I also don't understand why she couldn't just give me a one piece of pita bread.. Weird vibe in the place read more

This is my to go place for Greek Food in Ukrainian Village. I usually get it to go. The gyros are very tasty. I also like the Greek fries which come with feta cheese and lemon on them. I recommend the souvlaki plate if you have a taste for pork. read more

Excellent Gyros! ... It's in the neighborhood! Authentically Greek! ... Elvis Presley looking owner and Greek decor throughout! A clean place with good food and a nice view of Damen and Augusta.... Friendly Fast Service in Ukrainian Village! read more

We order from Greek Corner weekly, as it's around the corner from our apartment. It's rare that you can get a yummy dinner for 2 for under $20, but Greek Corner fits the bill. The Greek Chicken special is awesome - half a chicken, potatoes, and salad? Usually enough for two dinners and really tasty. I'm also a big fan of the gyro plate. The pita bread is just awesome and melts in your mouth. Cash only. Greek Elvis rules. Sometimes they get a little backed up, but they'll let you know so you aren't surprised. I'm a fan! read more

Is anyone familiar with the rock n' roll star Elvis Presley? He was big deal in the 50s and 60s, and sort of a big deal in the 70s, I guess. Well, he supposedly died on August 17th, 1977, but I have news for everyone: Elvis is alive and well, and he works at Greek Corner. He may deny it, but the resemblance is uncanny. Elvis very gladly made me a simple chicken gyro with every little thing on it. Then I said to myself, "self, Elvis is alive, let's treat ourselves to nice order of Greek fries as well." So I did. The gyro was so full of chicken and fixin's that I had to eat it with a fork. Very good and very filling. The Greek fries were rad as hell, and I let those bad boys last a couple days. It is cash only, so prepare yourselves for that. Normally this cash only business annoys me, but Elvis is old school, so I'll let it pass. You know what you should not pass? Greek Corner. read more

I'm kicking myself for living in the neighborhood for 3 years, and not once making it out to this place. Now, I feel it is my civic duty to let other people know about this place. Upon entering, I was surprised that the place was empty, so I was a little leery. I was pleasantly surprised however, with the friendly service and the excellent food. I had the gyro with greek fries. The gyro meat was tender and tasty, complimented nicely by the soft pita. Fries were hot and fresh, the perfect combo of just enough crunch with soft innards. read more

I would normally give this place 3 stars as their food isn't half-bad. Unfortunately, out of the 5 times I've attempted to eat there, they've been closed during hours that they were listed as open. That being said, the dude behind the counter has awesome hair. Like Uncle Jessie hair. It's amazing. read more

I go here way more often than anyone should. It's probably because I live mere steps from the place. The thing I love most here is the Chicken Salad. It's a simple greek salad with plenty of chicken, olives, feta. The dressing on it is great. Their Greek Chicken Wrap is basically the same thing but in a pita. The Moussaka is incredible. The Grecian Chicken too. It isn't on the menu but get an order of the Dolmades. They're stuffed grape leaves and they're wonderful. They're my fave hangover snack. They don't over enthusiastically greet the customers but then again, I don't go there to chat anyone up. I go for the consistently great affordable food. read more

Just ordered their Greek chicken salad for take out last night and it was exactly what I needed. I was a big fan of the marinated chicken cut into strips and the large brick of feta placed on top. It's nice to know that i can get a 'healthy' salad in the neighborhood. Make sure to bring your cash...and the cashier (possibly owner) has a strong resemblance to Elvis, which will definitely make you smile. read more

Gah! I love it that I didn't read any reviews yet on the place, but driving back from here my boyfriend had commented on Greek Elvis there, and someone had described him exactly the same. He was very friendly and welcoming. We got 2 gryos to go and a large fries. The gyros are a great portion, and very tasty. The prices are good. We will certainly be back, especially since I want to try the everyday special. This is even closer to us than heading out to Greek Town, so it's a done deal. read more

Underrated spot. I know there are tons of gyro type options in the area, but what I love about this place is the greek chicken. Definitely the best in the neighborhood. Freshly baked and prepared to order. Other stand out items are the lamb chops and pork chops when they have them. The gyros are ok (again, lots of options in the area for that), but go for the more slow cooked items to really understand the value of this place. Fun little patio too! It's a great stop when you're doing a Ukrainian Village dive bar crawl. read more

We're all familiar with the Law of Diminishing Returns in a culinary sense right...the more of "X" we consume, over time, the less it will be appreciated or enjoyed. Well, Greek Corner's Gyro sort of turned that theory on its head. I ordered said Gyro, pretty big by Gryo standards and at first bite was definitely like Meh, mostly bc the temp was marginally warm, and thought I prob won't even eat half it...however, as I dug in and ate more, the enjoyment actually grew and end of, I polished the entire thing off. Fries were your standard Greek fry (read: Steak cut type fry) but they were crispy and pretty good. They also serve RC pop which apparently is the Greek's default cola, why? i've no idea and nor am i a fan of it. I've only been here a handful of times, driven by it hundreds, and it's never ever busy so not sure how they stay in biz...though it may not be long judging from what seemed like them being unable to pay their electric bill...it was *freezing* in there. read more

I've lived and worked in this neighborhood for years, and I don't know why I've never tried this place. I mean, I can walk to it in under three minutes. Really good food. The Greek fries are amazing, I don't know how they drench them in all that dressing and yet they still remain crunchy. The Gyros do not disappoint. The "special" of the day seems to be the Grecian chicken everyday, which is sooooooo good. Not sure why they call it the special of the day, but hey. I'm not sure what people are talking about when they say the staff is somewhat rude. I find the old lady to be really sweet, and ever since my first visit here I've been back 4 or 5 times and she greets me as soon as I walk through the door with a smile. The staff treats me like neighbor. There's parking access from the alley, and a nice outdoor patio that is good for people watching. It's a great family run Greek restaurant, that doesn't disappoint with any of their offerings. This is one of those establishments that really makes the neighborhood feel like a "neighborhood." read more

1) Hubs 2) East of Eden 3) Greek Corner I should give them an extra star just for the owner who looks and acts like Elvis. His hair is damn near perfect. I'm jealous now so I took back the extra star. read more

Day 1 + I'll have the moussaka. - We're out of moussaka. + Do you normally have moussaka? - Yes. Day 2 + I'll have the moussaka. - We're out of moussaka. + Do you normally have moussaka? - Yes. Fortunately, they eventually had moussaka. It was pretty dece. I go here often because it's really close to my office. When I want to torture my office mates, I bring in a Gyro from here. The fragrance causes them to go buy one for themselves. And they hate me for that. read more

Lainey's right, the woman behind the counter does hate you. Now, I've personally never had a problem with wait-time at Greek Corner, but the woman who typically works there IS a hard nut to crack. I don't even know her name because I'm pretty sure she'll curse me if I ask and, since I don't know Greek, I'll end up calling her that word thinking it's her name until they ban me from the restaurant. They WILL have to chain the doors to keep me out of this place because I can't find a better gyro in the city. Not that my intestines are ready to try every possible gyro in Chicago, but go with me on this. My good friend always gets a grilled chicken breast on pita bread and that's very good. I also get a side of saganaki, a guilty pleasure of fried salty cheese. I'll admit I've haven't been back to Greek Corner for more than half a year because it's a bit too pricey for my lunch budget (sandwiches should be priced at a dollar less, for example). But you shouldn't be going to Greek Corner unless you want a feast and don't care about a couple of overpriced items. So, I recommend you call in your order at Greek Corner, pick it up, don't make eye contact with the cashier, and enjoy. read more

I dont ever really do reviews but this place was overpriced and not that great. The gyro meat was super dry. My kid ordered the chicken salad was soaked in oil with 0 taste. I'll avoid this place in the future. read more

Very efficient and pleasant staff. We were greeted right away. The smell of the food just hit our senses right away. Ordered the Greek Isle salad. Outstanding! I must admit that I was expecting less but they surprised us! We will come back again to try their grecian chicken plate and other's. read more

Greek Corner - Greek Isle salad - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Good quality food. Chicken souvlaki is my favorite dish there. The prices are a bit higher than they should be but there aren't any other greek places near here, so whatcha gonna do? And they have RC, which rocks. Sometimes they have baklava also, if you see it you should grab a piece, its tasty. read more

Absolutely the best Greek potatoes I've ever had! They are the most flavorful with the best texture. They just kind of melt in your mouth when you bite into them. It's got to be a secret family recipe, because they are amazeing! Everything I have ever ordered from here was always great. Gyros, chicken, salads, all were superb. It's all freshly made and your taste buds will thank you for it. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious & authentic Greek food. read more

I absolutely love this place. Not only is it in my neighborhood, but the food is of great quality and taste. The woman that works there always remembers us when we come in and greets us with a smile. I always get the gyros plate which comes with fries, a salad and a TON of meat- totally worth the value. The Greek fries are also delicious! My only gripe is that the place is cash only. Not a huge deal, as much of Chicago is, but sometimes it sways my decision to go here for lunch if I have to stop at an ATM (sounds so lazy- I know.) read more

Ok... AMAZING Greek Chicken. Seriously, you can get gyros anywhere and they all basically taste the same. When you go to Greek Corner, order the greek chicken. Its only $7 and it fills you up! This roasted chicken has sooo much flavor and crispy skin. It comes with seasoned rice pilaf, potatoes, and a greek salad with feta. The lemon sauce that is smothered over everything i could literally take a bath in. Im drooling thinking about it. I have had it several times and it is consistently delicious. this is a cute mom and pop place, the service is quick and friendly, and they have outdoor seating for the summer. Definitely check it out. You wont be disappointed. read more
