Every time I come here, I am extremely impressed with the service. Welcoming, friendly, and they go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. Went for BYOB last night and sat out on the patio with some girlfriends. Took our time eating and drinking our wine, until we were the last people in the restaurant. They were clearly closing, but never rushed us or anything. That's always nice. I come here often, but plan on becoming a regular. Love this place! read more

I love Greek food and some of my favorite places in Chicago are Greek places, but these smaller Gyros places are worth popping into from time to time. I think that the real test is if they sell fresh homemade spinach pie, and this place does not. So, they lose stars for that. This place is a Gyros and go place if you ask me. Now, I like that they have the large outside patio for summer eating, and the Gyros are ok, and if you purchase the jumbo fries you have basically a meal for two as takeaway. Note to self, before popping in here I had such fun reading the bratty girl reviews here about frowning old ladies, mean old ATMs, and other things that seem to clutter reviews in West Town ... like uh....muyyyy....gawd! Solid Gyros served with a frown and if you don't have a $10.01 bill you betta have cashola! read more

The woman behind the counter hates you. I ordered a gyros, waited and waited and waited. A cop came in, ordered his food, was served right away! I was STILL waiting. I guess if you are Chicago's Finest you get served. Chicago's Famished? Take a number. When I went to the counter to see if my food might be ready, the woman who was working glared, yelled, etc. I'm never eating here again, period. read more

Grew up passing this place my whole life and only tried it with my boyfriend earlier in the week. We got normal gyros and mine was so good i went back the next day to get 2 more. Fantastic place honestly. genuinely looking forward to the next time i can pick up some more from them. The guy working the front was also very friendly read more

Everything you could want for the usual greek food fare, not too expensive. There is an outdoor patio but not much of a view. If only I liked Greek food more...and didnt have my stomach regret everytime I eat it (seems to be usually heavier, greasier....). Only thing that you have to put up with is some serious attitude from the main cook/order taker there, it can be throw you off if you aren't prepared for it. Last week a group of guys just left since they were so offended when discovering half the menu was "gone" for the night and taking offense at the rather rough replies from behind the counter. (Typical reply: "I dont have x but you can have y.") read more

I had a "shame on me" moment when I finally came here after years and years of driving and walking by. For reasons I can't explain I had always believed this place closed at around 5pm making it not a great option for me. Wrong!! I had the spartan chicken wrap and I think I consumed the huge beast in three minutes flat. There was so much food and everything pouring out of it was extremely fresh. It was packed with kalamata olives, chicken breast and feta and sauced with tzatziki and lemon. A gyro I had here was great too. Really friendly service and BYOB. There's an outdoor patio but with all this horrible heat I stay where the air is. Good prices! read more

I had the Chicken Souvlaki, and it was grilled to perfection with nice lemon and oregano running through it. Its a great place to grab a gyros or something and know its good, rather then running to Greek Town. Its not the cheapest place Greek joint in Chicago, but its not crazy expensive either. In the summer its nice, because you can sit outside, and its BYOB. It lacks ambience, so if you're dining in, wait until its warm enough to sit on the patio. read more

If there was a sixth star, I'd give it. Amazingly, i have yet to have a bad experience here. I grew up eating Greek food in Detroit's Greek town and have dined extensively at our Chicago versions. So let me start with this, people relax on the speed of the food, its not McDonald's. Authenticity? if you like something other than gyros you won't get any better value then Angelo and his mom and dads food, and its made fresh so it's the real deal. Yes, I eat there so much i now know them. We call Monday nights Greek corner night. Things to order, the lamb chops, a bit fatty but delicious, and also a bit pricey but worth it. . Greek Chicken just like my Grandma used to bake (ask for rice). Both Moussaka and Pastizio (sp?) (Greek lasagna) awesome. Spartan Pizza is pretty good also. Try more than the Gyros and you won't regret it. Go on a warm summer night, drink a beer (BYOB) and enjoy it on there deck and yes remember this is super cheap but equally as good as any you'll find anywhere on Halsted or Detroit or maybe even Greece herself. read more

Omg this place takes FOREVER to serve your food!!! DONT EVER COME HERE if you are starving or in a rush!!!!!! read more

Great food...I love the woman that works there. She's really sweet. I also think her son (I assume) is a total weirdo. This isn't a negative thing...it's kind of fun to see him there. They have an amazing BYOB patio, too. read more

Good place in the neighborhood for my twice a year gyro cravings. If you're looking for a tasty gyro, Greek Corner has it. Service is friendly, but your plastic is no good here-cash only! read more

Greek Corner - gyro sandwich - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is mediocre at best. I got the chicken gyro. It was more like a salad on a pita. Not that much chicken. The pita was tough and not soft. The gyro sauce was lacking flavor. I thought it was little expensive. 2 gyros 1 fry and 2 drinks and it was almost 30 dollars. Nikos is better quality and less expensive. Also the woman there was kinda rude. We asked for some napkins. Her response was rude and saying that the napkins are on the tray and we cant see them. Our tray was empty. And we told her that. Then she gave us napkins. Never going there again! read more

I've always rode by this place without giving it much thought. From the outside it looks like a dingy mediocre fast Greek food place. I heard from a friend that the food was fantastic, so I recently gave it a try. The food was GREAT! The gyro's were very taste-e without being greasy which was a pleasant surprise! We sat outside on the patio, which made for excellent people watching, and the prices weren't over the top expensive. I'm looking forward to going back! read more

Greek Corner looks like a hole in the wall Roseanne-style counter deli, but whoa! It's amazing! I stopped by with a friend on a Tuesday night and was a little put off by the interior of the restaurant-very outdated. Looking past that, we went to the counter and both ordered the chicken gyro with vitamin waters. We then made our way out to their great patio and briefly waited for our food. Food came and it was great, the vegetables were very fresh and the pita super soft. The Greek tzatziki yogurt sauce was one of the best i've had in the city. BYOB with no corkage fee forced us to stay another hour and leave sufficiently drunk. read more

I'm so glad I have a decent Greek restaurant so close to my house. Angelo is a great guy... much more down to Earth than his grooming style leads on. He takes your order and - if you're eating there - doesn't even ask you to pay until you finish eating. The Greek fries are awesome and so are the gyros, both regular and chicken. My girl and I just tried the saganaki, too, which also hits the spot. We usually stop in at least every other week... can't wait for the weather to permanently summer-ize so we can enjoy the patio! read more

I just ordered delivery from here. Let's start with that. It was quick, but the driver was rude. Now, the food: I ordered the gyro plate, the gyro salad with chicken, and a side of Skordalia (garlic spread). First, everything is cold, even though I live right around the corner. The gyro meat is tasty. The pita is rubbery, no crunch/char on the outside. The skordalia looks like some sort of slush and there's no garlic taste whatsoever. The fries look and taste generic. I won't review the salad, I don't want to take away another star from a local gyro place. Tonight was very disappointing. This place used to be awesome, less than a year ago, but it's on its way down. Very sad. read more

I've been passing this place for the past year, but today was my first visit as I was craving spanikopita for 2 weeks. I love the unpretentious atmosphere and "parking" behind the building was convenient. I ordered the spanikopita, a Greek salad, and baklava. The salad was good, but I've had better. The salad had minimal feta cheese and was overly saturated in dressing. The spanikopita did not hit the spot. I'm used to thick (lasagna thick) spanikopita. This was thin and far less than the 8oz. I was told I was getting. It was tasty, but it was as though it had been sitting in the refrigerator and was warmed up in the microwave when I came. I like thin, flaky, crispy philo dough. Not tough -- even difficult to cut -- philo. And the baklava. It was okay, but certainly not anything I'd crave. Several people seem to like the gyros, so clearly I chose the wrong items, but you decide for yourself what you think of this place. read more

I found myself craving Greek food last week, and being new to the neighborhood, I wanted to find something close and accessible. I was told about this place by a friend, and quickly went to Yelp to see how it panned out with other folks. After reading about the souvlaki, and the spanikopita, I was sold. FANTASTIC food. My step-family is Greek, so being able to compete with the homemade goodness that I was raised on is hard, but this place did it. Their potatoes are to die for, as is the rice pilaf. Oh, and I would like to add that I want a vat of the tzatziki sauce for use on everything I eat from now on. It is that good. The service wasn't terrible. They were really quiet though, so that may make some people uncomfortable. read more

The FOOD is actually pretty good here. Prices are reasonable. I enjoy shopping from the specials menu posted inside due to being knowledgeable of this because I live right down the street. My BIGGEST ISSUE AND CONCERN BY FAR; THE CASHIER TRIES TO STEAL MY MONEY ALMOST EVERY TIME I ORDER FROM THIS PLACE. I AM IN DESIRE NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNER OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT PLEASE CONTACT ME. The food is great and convenient how I love it to be. But the customer service & stealing from the cashier is very disappointing! Seriously read more

Love Greek Corner! It is cash only but they do have an ATM in store. The Greek chicken salad is delish! Great dressing! The saganaki is yummy. Try the greek fries..my fav!! There's a cute patio in the back for nicer days! All of it is affordable too...great greek food for a great price. read more

Greek Corner - Greek Salad with chicken to go! - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best Greek place in the neighborhood! I found Greek Corner 5 years ago when I moved into the neighborhood and I wanted a Gyro. I loved it so much I would go once a week every week. The food is made from fresh ingredients everyday, no frozen food or leftovers. The food is always hot and very authentic. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, the interior is clean, the atmosphere is inviting. The most heart breaking thing about moving to a new hood was saying good bye to my favorite Greek Gyro with in walking distance. I still have not found a Gyro place in the city that matched the quality of food. Anytime I am close to Greek Corner I have to make an excuse to stop in, say hello and get great food even if I am not hungry. I love the Gyro sandwich, Greek Fries, Greek Salad, Avgolemono Soup (my favorite when I am sick). read more

Ordered delivery from them via grubhub. The food never arrived. We called to check on it and they said they tried to deliver it, but we refused the food. They clearly brought it to the wrong place, but the real problem is that they were unwilling to fix the problem or deliver our food. They told us it was our fault for refusing the food (which we obviously never did). The man on the phone was very rude avouyBy the way, we have a very normal address in the same neighborhood as the restaurant. Response from manager noted. Very interesting response as my husband ordered the food and we have different last names so there is no way for them to even match this review to the order. Clearly a crap response. read more

Middling greek food. Non-accommodating staff: me: can you add giardiniera to my gyro lazy lady working at the counter: no, I'll give it to you on the side me: can you just put it on and charge me for a side lazy lady working at the counter: no What you got here is slightly above average greek food served with a side of lazy slow service. read more

I don't get to eat at this place enough but I do love the wrap with veggies, gyros, and sauce. It is counter service with a few tables and a television. The food is cooked as you order so its always hot and fresh. read more

This place was recommended to me by a fellow food group member. I was very disappointed with the Gyro Plate. The meat was dry and the pita was tough. The tzatziki wasn't flavorful at all. I have had gyros in the hood that tasted better!! Maybe I caught them on a bad day!! read more

A very small family-run place that consistently performs above its price-point. Great marinade for the souvlaki, superb Greek chicken, everything consistently competently prepared. Menu not particularly extensive. Highly recommend. read more

Decent Greek food with HILARIOUSLY hateful service. I love going here just to have a BYOB beer and catch up with a friend over a blast of lemon and feta fries, mmmm. read more

I missed the bus, so I found myself walking home up Damen Ave last night. It was past dinnertime and I hadn't eaten since lunch. Enter Greek Corner. Hmmm... a Greek restaurant outside of Greektown? I thought, what the heck? I just got a gyros and brought it home and thought it was pretty darn good! The people that work there are super nice and friendly, too. I'm definitely going to come back to eat in. After I try more things, I just may up the rating! read more

I have always been a fan of Greek food. I ate Gyros religiously in college. The food is pretty standard. The Greek fries are good, feta makes everything better! Gyros aren't bad, they aren't stingy with meat which is always a good thing. The fact that this is the only Greek place around the area makes it a little more special. CASH ONLY... read more

Greek Corner - Gyro plate - Greek Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

After Do Division I found myself here. I love gyros so I had to get one and I think (I had been drinking so I am not 100% pos on this) it was pretty good. I remember really liking the tzatziki sauce though. My drunken taste buds approve and I will have to go back when sober. Hopefully it's as good as I remember. read more

Love it. The pork souvlaki is incredible. The Greek fries make me so happy. Great service, too. They seem to close pretty early on week nights, but otherwise, it's a great place for Greek. read more

Lovingly made Greek food, 25 years of the real deal. We ordered the Chicken Souvlaki plate, fries, and the 1/2 Greek Chicken. All were delicious and fresh tasting. read more

Generous portions of inexpensive, delicious Greek food cooked to order. The Greek salads are massive, and the gyros (my personal favorite) are stuffed with meat and tomato wedges. No frills here, just friendly folks. We love the BYOB aspect as well. Just discovered they deliver... great little place and I'm grateful they're in the neighborhood. read more

Great staff. Great quick tasty meal. Spartan wrap is on point. Gyro wrap is great as well. Support this local gem

Decent, delicious and down to earth Greek street food restaurant on the corner of Damen Ave. and Augusta Blvd. near Ukrainian Village. Was worth trying. Has that "Hole in the wall" ambiance with retro 50's and 70's fusion environment. I had the Gyros plate dinner which was cooked very good with the salad that was fresh. I was surprise for they also have Lamb chops too which I will try since I did not expect this place to offer this. The Baklava was delicious too. I was gonna give this 4 stars but since it is not fancy enough like going to Greek town on Halsted Ave. such as "Greek Islands" or the "Partheon" restaurant near UIC. I did have a friendly conversation with the Owner and he had mentioned about that and how the Greeks in Greek town had all moved away to the suburbs since I brought up those restaurants. All an all, good restaurant when you are passing by the neighborhood and dining solo or carry out but I would not recommend taking your date here is what I mean which is why I gave it 3 stars. Again this is a "Hole in the wall" underrated hidden gem of a place. read more

This place is fantastic. Family operated (not just owned) i love angelo and his mom Vula... Vula makes the best soups and always makes sure you do not leave hungry. its quality greek food - home made and with love. if you dont feel like venturing down to greek town this is the next best thing. Great patio as well. read more

My bad. This place is solid. Not great. Pretty good. No falafel. But it's a Greek place so that's cool.

LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Owner is super cool. Best Greek fries hands down. Nice corner spot that I miss living down the street from. read more

I love this place. My wife and I go there regularly these days and can't stop. I eat gyro but not often, so I cannot comment on their's. But their lamb chops, roast chicken, and pork chops, are incredible. Bright lemony taste that gives way to the natural meat flavor. The lamb chops, to me, are the stars. Portions are ridiculous. Lamb chops are big enough for anyone, but the chicken and pork chops are crazy, and they get better after a night in the ice box. Side salads taste great, good tomatoes. Bread and potatoes when applicable are all reasonable portions, and good. They have a great patio with a good view of the sidewalk but not exposed. Night shift is run by a young guy, great attitude, friendly. Good BYOB treatment, they have good glasses for you. Sundays would be nice but that is their choice. Please support this local gem. read more

I want to preface this by saying this is the first sub-4 star review I have ever felt compelled to write. I was astounded by the treatment I received at this neighborhood restaurant. A few days before Christmas, I was on a jog heading north on Damen and turned onto Augusta when I slipped on black ice on the sidewalk and fell, smashing my head on the sidewalk directly in front of the entrance to this restaurant. I instantly had swelling and bruising on my eye and cheekbone and was extremely lucky the fall didn't cause even more severe injuries. As I picked myself up, I noted that you could not tell that the area where I fell was covered in ice. While I was walking away, a bystander who saw me fall encouraged me to go into the restaurant to advise them of the ice patch. Still stunned from the fall, I entered the restaurant, intending to advise them of the black ice so that no one else would fall like I did. I would preface this by saying the area by my temple, eye and cheekbone had already swelled to nearly a golf ball size & was dirty, along with the left side of my clothes from slipping on the sidewalk. When I entered the restaurant, the exchange that took place was as follows: Me: "Hello - can I speak to a manager?" Old woman behind the register: "About what?" Me: "I just slipped on black ice outside the door & hit my face on the sidewalk... you need to put down some salt" Old woman: "We did put down salt" Me: "Well, you clearly need to put down more because I just slipped directly outside the door! Look at my face!" Old woman: "You need to be more careful" Me: [realizing that not only were they not going to rectify the situation, but also she didn't care that I fell] "That's really nice for your customers and neighbors" & walked out the door. While I was not entering the business to get sympathy, not a shred of concern was shown - I simply went in to advise the business that on behalf of their neighbors and patrons, there was a dangerous patch of black ice at their entrance & I was trying to prevent other people from getting hurt. I actually thought I was doing them a favor, as a more litigious person could have easily filed a lawsuit for negligence - especially after that exchange. I guess it makes it easier to know which local restaurants to support [not this one!] read more
