I've had my share of Gyros over the years - This my friends is hands down tied for #1 or better yet stand alone #1. The Tzatziki sauce is fresh made onsite. (Boom ) The Avgolemono soup is out of your mind. Fresh cut fries to die for.... The Baklava ...on point. ~ You will not be disappointed in any way read more

You would hope that getting a gyro at a place with gyro in the name would blow you away. I ordered the jr gyro combo with small fries and small drink (no free refills) for $18? Never seen a whole slice of tomato, couldn't be bothered to dice it up? Meat and sauce hanging off one end. Had to get in there and get dirty to even it out. Fries are fresh cut and pretty good, but they only hand you an ounce of ketchup in a cup. Sat down and noted the root beer was flat. They poured another one and seemed better. Tzatziki sauce didn't seem very good. I would take a bite of tomato first, not great and nibble on the sandwich. Video slots seemed odd but what ever pays the bills. I was there at an off time and everything is well kept, but not very friendly. read more

Best gyros around!! I started coming here as a kid in 1976. My dad used to pick up sandwiches to eat for my brothers T-ball games at the Addison Park District. They were so tasty and delicious my brother and I always shared it because the portion was so large. The portion is still a good size although the cost is a little different. I now live in the far western suburbs and drive 30 minutes just to come back. My kids like the fries, they are hand cut and made individually to order And the baklava is superb. I cannot have it from any other place. For 50 years of my life, I have enjoyed these Gyros sandwiches. I cannot get them anywhere else and have the same satisfaction. Thank You !!!! read more

Decided to stop by this place while driving by , and it's wasn't what I expect. The service was great. The ambiance was mid. It's in a prime spot mind you I was there around 3 :45pm . I just didn't feel the satisfaction I was hoping for. read more

Gyros Express Greek Restaurant - Gyro fries - Greek Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

New owner has really messed up. Def not same quality gyro as before, no flavor, meat just too soft, and portions way less. Fries had fishy taste, fried in same oil as fish? Way too loud music. Place not as clean as it used to be. Way disappointing. read more

Best local spot for a meal, you know what you getting and you see the same people working every time. Family owned and ran, foods great I haven't had a bad meal yet. read more

Takeout from here is great! Really enjoyed the gyro plate, saganaki, Greek salad and Greek fries. It's a little expensive, but quality food. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the avgolemono soup - it's a lot of broth and some rice. Not the consistency I would expect. Everything else was good though! read more

Gyros was mildly flavored but needs some more garlic and spice. For the price would expect a bit more meat. Fresh cut fries were excellent.

I would not come back here and I live up the street... I got a chicken gyro, gyro plate, and a Greek salad (added grilled chicken). Nothing special about any of it. $80 bucks is insane for a a fast food gyro hut. $30 for gyro plate that made 2 allright sized gyros. Chicken gyro tasted like lunch meat. The Greek salad had 1 olive and a bunch of lettuce no other veggies . $8 dollar up charge for grilled chicken that should allready be included in a $16 dollar salad.... For $80 dollars I could have gone to a sit down Greek restaurant and had everything I ordered plus better quality and better environment. This location is nothing more than a hot dog joint and to be charging that much money for gyros and salads you would think it's a 5 star sit down. I understand everything is expensive these days but this was just outrageous and the food was okay. If you want to get good food and a reasonable price do not go to gyro express! If I can eat a gyro plate in a sitting then that's a problem. For $30 dollars I was very upset. I don't understand how this place even remains open. Stop charging so much money for street food and maybe I would come back. read more

The best Gyros. Thats all I've got to say. But they do come at a cost. Prices are higher than you'd expect (soft drinks especially). But I still HAVE to come here to eat those delicious Gyros, they are worth the price of admission for sure. We've learned how to order and work the menu. Stick to specials, avoid soft drinks if you can, and learn to split the Gyros plate w/ a friend :) read more

Excellent gyros and the Greek chicken is the best. A little pricey but the quality is worth it. Except for the fries, small bag, $6!!!

Outstanding Food ! Today was my first visit ! The portions are generous. I will be a regular.

The food is no better than the other gyros places in the area but the prices will break you. It used to be reasonably priced and you could sit and watch Wheel of Fortune while competing with the other customers. It's just not the same. He justifies his prices by telling you the prices he pays went up. So did everyone else's. The problem lies in how much he wants for profit. He could drop his prices to make them reasonable but doesn't. Too proud. The service is good. Mom and son charge $1.90 for a little cup of ketchup with a smile. Ketchup is free at most fast food places in this country. The ambiance is typical Gyros place with beautiful pictures of Greece. The floor is swept and the tables are wiped clean. Go anywhere else twice, for the price of one visit here. read more

Probably the worst experiences ever. $48 for soup and gyros. the Avgolemono was $12 - for about $.05 of Product - the container cost more than the broth. They should be ashamed. Here is a picture of what they serve and what it's supposed to be. Gyros plate - should be enough for 2 - it was $29 also a picture. Shameful. You got me for the last time - Everyone, there are alternatives in the area and cheaper too. read more

My wife and I have had their food over the past 27 years in Villa Park. The food is excellent, but in my opinion the food is a bit pricey.

Been coming here for 20 years as it's close to the house. They do have the best gyros around. The menu is pricey, hence the 4 stars, but believe me I've looked and tried to find cheaper alternatives in the area. I guess you get what you pay for...nothing nearby can compete. The gyro is the only thing I've ever ordered, and it's always very, very good. Great tzatziki sauce, the pita is always hot and fresh and they manage to have red tomatoes in the middle of winter. Meat comes in thick strips and is garlicky and flavorful. The gyro plate is good for two people-it comes with enough for 2 sandwiches and fries. Takes a minute to get food but it's hot when you do. Place looks like your typical Chicago hot dog stand with counter service. They have plenty of tables and gambling if that's your thing. It's clean and the owner is friendly enough Plenty of other items on the menu-dogs, burgers, and greek specialties-but I only come by for gyros which can't be beat....just don't forget your wallet. read more

My parents started coming to Gyros Express back in the 1980s. It was a staple and we would frequently dine out on Friday evenings here. Longevity is something that doesn't happen very often, so they did do something right. The main reason for a two star review is the prices. They get an extra star for their longevity. When you go to a restaurant and you feel taken advantage of when you're given your total, that's a problem. There is no value in paying $22.99 for a gyros plate. That is straight up taking advantage of peoples wallets. Do yourself a favor, drive a few miles northeast, and go to Yorky's in Elmhurst where a Gyros Plate cost $14.99 and arguably better atmosphere and service. Mr. Kiagis, turn back the clock and lower your prices a bit, and maybe you'll see some faces you havent seen in awhile return to your establishment. read more

Overpriced and not worth it. A disappointment. They charge 3.99 for a side of Feta Cheese. You can buy a container at the store for the same price if not less. All I ordered was one Gyro for $11 and two sides of feta cheese...the total came out to $21. For that price, I could have bought Ramen instead. If the cashier had told me the price I would have said forget it. I should have asked for a refund, but I just wanted to leave after that. I didn't even finish the gyro. This was my first and last time coming here. read more

The most expensive broth around. Avgolemono but without chicken, and it's definitely not the consistency it should be. Avgolemono is a thicker, heavier soup. This was all broth for $14. Just go to Greek islands instead where the avgolemono is really avgolemono and where the quart is half the price. read more

I've been going there for over 20 years as a loyal customer and when the pandemic hit, I would go there once a week and they would bring my food out to my car. Even when the prices went up because of cost of food went up, I continued to go there, but it's a little ridiculous when you get a Gyros platter and pay like you're ordering a filet mignon steak. Whatever happened to the customer is always right because when they screwed up my order and I went in to talk to the owner, he turned around and made it sound like I made the mistake. You lost a loyal customer and I will never go back. read more

I love lamb. And while I don't eat gyros often, I certainly appreciate a well-made one. So, when my girlfriend's family recommended I give Gyro Express a try, I thought, why not? Oh dear lord, it was bliss. I got their traditional gyro with shaved lamb and beef. It comes with creamy tzatziki sauce, onions, and tomatoes on a fluffy pita. I also got their house made baklava for dessert, and a really delightful Greek lager. I can't eat like this every day, but the next time I want a treat, I'll definitely go back. It was perfection! read more

Gyros Express Greek Restaurant - Our Famous Gyros Sandwich, Homemade Baklava, and Hillas Greek Lager. - Greek Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

$20 for a gyro and fries . . . . It's supposed to be the best around and I found it average . Wouldn't return at that price point

Tasty gyro, good size, you get what you pay for! The fries are darn good too. And to top it off they were super friendly. What more could you ask for? read more

Good Gyro combo, a bit pricey though. Pita heated, gyro meat has a bit of a crust on it yumo and sauce and onions fresh too. Fresh cut fries... Friendly staff. Been going here for awhile I support my local places when I can. Plenty of seating, private parking lot, they have a tv. I'll be back! read more

Swung by here for a snack before a big late dinner. I had a Chicago dog. It was a good version, but not particularly outstanding. Sweetie had very good cheese fries. Our friends had, I think, a gyro and a pocket. But the star was their saganaki, which they graciously shared. Man- I've had it in fancy restaurants but it wasn't half this good. He flamed it up on the counter and I worried about the ceiling. The cheese, the browned crust, man, it was good. read more

I needed to check out this spot as it has been recommended to me quite a few times. During my visit I ordered a gyro plate which came with gyro, two pitas, fries, and all the fixin's for $18.99. It seems a bit expensive, but it's A LOT of food, I actually split it with one other person and we could barely finish it! We also ordered a spinach pie and baklava. I took off one star since the spinach pie wasn't my favorite, it was very soggy, but in their defense, it could be from it being wrapped and traveling home. I will have to try it in store next time. The baklava was very delicious. Over all, this place was delicious, I will definitely be back! read more

We ordered a carry out dinner for 5 and everything was excellent. The food, the service and mostly the kindness and gratitude of the management! read more

I was here again. $19.98 for a gyros, fry and coke. Meat and onions were good. Sauce good. Pita bread to thick and doughy. Fries under cooked. Inflation in Illinois is unreal. I will give these guys another shot when the gyros craving hits. read more

Service was adequate, the gyro special was overpriced, what seems like a large quantity of food is just a large piece of pita bread and dry meat. They Didn't even fill my coke up all the way, small cup, was 3/4 full and a $1 to refill, and they had already charged me for a coke Gyro express is not recommended to mother or father, never going again read more

Love your food, but 20.00 for a small Greek salad with chicken...your prices are extremely crazy high for fast food. I could go to to a nice sit down restaurant & had a salad for less money. Last time going to Gyros express. read more

Tried it for the first time today. You get what you pay for. Had the gyro souvlakia plate and everything was great quality. I wish I could complain about the price so George could tell me to fuck off and eat somewhere within my budget but it's worth it. read more

I have been coming here for about 20 yrs and since I relocated to Texas I stop here every time I'm in town. Very friendly staff / owners and clean place. The Gyros / Souvlaki plate is the bomb. Great place! read more

I've Never written a review But $14.99 for a small gyro sandwich with little to No sauce 1 small tomato very very meager portion of meat pita that was close to raw luke warm fries they weren't even room temperature and they use the optical illusion of using smaller baskets to make it look as though you are getting your money's worth I'm writing this because I've read previous reviews and saw that they respond so I'll believe this might be read Your charging Greektown prices in Dupage! At least downtown you get your moneys worth and some atmosphere as well You have a plastic flower on the table and slot machines Please Please read this and do something about it read more

You get what you pay for. Quality meat, delicious sauce, and great fries. Love the atmosphere, the cleanliness, and the fantastic service. Been coming here for over 10 years and will continue! read more

Yes, hands down the BEST fresh sliced Gyros ever to hit my taste buds. Quality is what I treat myself to and Gyros Express passes the test with flying colors. Seriously if heaven ever asked me to bring catering for the people upstairs, I would bring trays of their fresh cut fries and gyros slices to spend eternity. The Tzatziki sauce (gyros sauce) is made perfect bursting with flavor and when drenched over onions & tomatoes, it takes it to a whole new level. My second favorite would be the souvlaki (pork) kabob. Seasoned and grilled will have you doing cartwheels in the parking lot. Staff is friendly and establishment is super clean. read more

Um, hello lamb! lol I can't believe that after all these years I've never tried a freakin Gyro! I mean it makes me think what kind of friends I have...or am lacking, that they've never told me about this awesomeness lol. Gyros Express was one of the choices in our Friday Lunch and boy are we glad that we found this place. The first time I stopped in, I was on Atkins, so I only tried the meat on a salad. Still bomb, but not as bomb as a regular Gyro. With some lettuce and onion, it just hits that spot. They are not shy when they pour that tzatziki. Their fresh cut fries are a plus too! Friendly service and squeaky clean. I must say thought that they are a little bit too pricey, but hey, they get the business right? read more

Quality food and service. Been going there for years and never disappointed. Food is always fresh and cooked to order.

Was over priced for what it was. Will not be returning due to poor value. Meat was dry, fries weren't crisp. The cooks were not wearing masks, which wasn't a big deal for me but would cause some people to avoid. read more

The food is delicious. It is very well made and presented. The staff are friendly and respectful. Overall, this is a great place!

I gonna have to start out with the fact that they are the #1 gyro in DuPage. Funny enough on the same list it gives the third best burrito to Taco Bell... Not too sure I agree with either of those ratings. The gyro was definitely one of the largest I have ever had and the quality was good. I personally prefer when they throw the meat on the griddle to get a little crunch to it. The tzatziki sauce was very good with a nice garlic kick to it. The biggest disappointment was the fries. Im a huge sucker for hand cut fries and these were horribly under seasoned and just limp and lifeless. All in all it was just average and not bad but for the price you can find a better gyro and some crispy fries at some other places in the area. read more
