Decent food at reasonable prices. Had a steak burrito at $8.99. Good but not a true giant burrito. I'd still come to eat again. Food tastes fresh too. They cook your food while you wait. Two TVs are only in Spanish which is not welcoming for us who do not understand it. The majority are still English only. read more

Jarvis Gyros - Steak burrito - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Disgusting, dirty establishment and very rude service. Mediocre food. All around a big fat no.

Huge portions and great food! The gyros was amazing. Fully of crispy meat! It's a fast food joint staffed by one to two employees so things might get done slowly. Fries were done perfectly - crispy and unsalted. They weren't oily at all. This place beats so many higher end places. Also, the place needs to be cleaned. One of the tables was occupied by a mountain bike; where are patrons supposed to sit? read more

Jarvis Gyros - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The Gyro I had was delicious! I haven't had one in so long and a couple of days ago I felt like having one. I also got fries to go with it.... The cashier and cook were friendly and made sure my order was done in a timely fashion. The restaurant is small and there wasn't anybody else in there (I went late at night), they're busier during the day and afternoon times. read more

Food is good in a greasy spoon kind of way. Prices are good. Whether they are ever open is another story. Walked over at 11:30am on a tues for lunch. Closed. Came by at 3:30 another day. Closed. Definitely call first if you are thinking of going. read more

Tasty and affordable food! Would recommend 10/10. The staff follows specific instructions when you order online with no issues and they are very friendly in person. Try them out. Their Super Tacos are a Chicago treat. read more

Is it actually open? If so, when? The hours online never seem to match reality. Almost every time I walk by it's closed. Other times it's supposedly open but the phone rings and rings and rings and nobody answers. My wife tried to get us food from there once while it was in theory still open but the guy opened the door and yelled "we're closed!" at her and locked it up. What the heck? We'd love to support this place as it's right around the corner from us but we always end up ordering from Morse Gyros instead because they actually respond and are open. read more

This is a good little greasy spoon. The gyro is $5.50 and they pile it high with meat. The guy who runs it is always quick and professional. I live a block away and I eat here more than I should. read more

They do not allow service dogs! This is a civil right and an AD right to allow your service dogs in a restaurant. The guy was very rude and kept arguing with us making our situation feel uncomfortable. We do plan to report this business to the ADA and Department of US Justice. It's so sad when you're discriminated against having a service dog. We don't plan on coming here again. How disappointing! We've never had a problem before anywhere else. He sounded like he was making an excuse. They won't be ever receiving our service again. Besides their food is okay. I've had way better so it's not worth even trying. read more

Continues as a reliable neighborhood grill joint with serviceable tacos, burritos and tortas. (Same owners as Cd. Hidalgo). I don't think they were handmade tortillas...but the carne asada and chorizo tacos were good and the tortillas got warmed up on the grill. Chicken was grilled breast - a little dry. The other two were better choices. The last option I believe is ground beef which I didn't get a chance to order. read more

I always get a burrito with gyro meat here and it's phenomenal. It's not on the menu but it's the best. Make sure to tip at least a dollar for the special request as it's a cheap but large burrito anyway! read more

This place is an all-right kinda spot. I go here when I need a quick fix of greasy food like chicken tenders and french fries. It looks like they serve chinese and indian dishes too. But I'm kinda iffy about trying food like that at a grease spot. Naturally I would think that kind of food wouldn't be as satisfying as it would be in a restaurant that specializes in that cuizine. The interior could use some touching-up. It looks like they get a lot of pick-up orders especially from people coming from work and hoping off the red-line next door. read more

New to area thinking ohhh nice little fast food joint to get a quick bite to eat. 1 person working the register and this same person cooking/dealing with the food. Not once did he wash his hands after dealing with money etc. I'd never go here again. Disgusting!!! read more

First timer Had the tacos yesterday and they were the bomb. Juicy and fresh. Have been thinking about those tacos all day

This place is just steps from the Jarvis Red Line. Which makes it perfect when getting off the train. And after a rough day of dealing with Gold Coast lunchers it's an easy yummy dinner. Granted nearly the entire menu comes out of the freezer but I"m ok with that. I dont go there often but when I do it's always been good. The meals are priced with or without fries and or a soda. And it's pretty cheap. A cheese burger with fries and coke are around $5.50. The woman who I'll assume owns the shop also is there everyday and she's really nice. Even if I dont go in and just walk by with my dog she waves at me. It's a nice touch in a city where sometimes a blank stare and a shrug pass as customer service. Also, the Bulgolgi is sooo good. Mound of rice with a good amount of beef and veggies. I dont know whats in it but it's good! read more

BEST Maxwell Style Polish in Chicago - Char.grilled w/ all the extra's ! CHECK IT OUT & you will NOT be disappointed. read more

This is a solid, jack of all trades, neighborhood food joint. They have a pretty expansive menu for low prices with always a quick turn around (my maximum waiting time is about 15 minutes, but you can call ahead). The only drawback (and honestly not why I rated it four stars) is that they have a minimum purchase if you want to use a card. That being said, your normal meal is usually under $10. Be sure to check your order because when they get busy, they may miss an item, and you don't get a receipt. The only draw back is you have to go there or get a menu from them because otherwise you don't know what your options are. Also, they aren't always consistent on picking up the phone sometimes. Pros: - Diverse, greasy spoon menu which is pretty quality stuff - Neighborhood feel - Really cheap food Cons: - Credit Card Minimum - No online menu (Something I wish we could upload to Yelp). - Not always consistent on answering the phone read more

I've walked past Jarvis Grill so many times without stopping that I sometimes forget it's even there. The other night, however, I was so hungry and needed something fast and cheap... a perfect opportunity to try Jarvis Grill. I had a cheeseburger, fries and a coke. Meh. It was okay. At the time, it hit the spot, but really it's just your regular greasy grilled cheeseburger and fries. Tonight, again starving and needing something quick and cheap, I decided to stop and try the gyro. After all, they do have the spit 'o meat and signs everywhere advertising their Kronos Gyros! I ordered a gyro with everything, fries and a coke. $7.60. When I got home and opened up the gyro, I was surprised by how big it was. I could have easily asked for a second pita and split the fixings into two sandwiches. The gyro was good! The fries were just okay, and the coke hit the spot. This seems to be a great late-night after bar kind of place, or a place to get a quick cheap bite when you're in a hurry. Try the gyro, skip the burger. read more

Jarvis Grill is a great place to get your assortment of greasy foods! Esther is a sweetheart and she is always working hard to get your food done just right! If you need a quick bit to eat go here! read more

Jarvis Gyros - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really wanted to give this place a chance... Ordered cheeseburger special requested No onions no mustard. Got home onions all over the burger. strike 1 Sliced burger to make sure burger was done.. Nope!! Strike 2 lastly Burger was thinner than my lettuce chunks scattered all over the Bun.. but that's not even worse part.. Heated up Burger patty separately in toaster oven and it tasted like Blah!! Although thin this burger tasted like metal-ish yuckiness!! Strike Three!! Verdict No Thank you!! read more

This place can get busy instantly . It seems every one comes for the delicious hamburgers. Their Gyros are very tasty. Most of their patrons are from the neighborhood and do carry out . Only draw back is no washroom . read more

Just moved to the neighborhood & decided to pay this place a visit. I went there one time at 10:30am because on the door it say open at 10am Monday thru Sunday. As I stood outside the owner told me from inside the restaurant that he wasn't open & it was 10:45 am he said he'll be open at 11. I decided to go back a week later because my wife wanted a Philly cheesesteak: I made a horrible mistake ordering that sandwich. The steak was chopped up like hamburger meat like he was gonna make a taco, the bread wasn't fresh, & it was loaded with an insane amount of green peppers & onion. My wife said it worst philly she ever had & then said she wouldn't feed to a homeless dog. I'll never go there again to buy anything. Also, he's overpriced. I'll keep going to parkside grill. They are open when they say they are open, the food is good, & prices are way BETTER!! read more

I came up to Jarvis today in search of some cheap Indian food at Luzzat. Turns out they are closed on Tuesdays. Worked out for me anyway as I found this nifty and extremely cheap little diner next door. I've been looking for good, cheap eats that are convenient for lunches in and around Rogers Park and this is a find. Location is prime here as you can feel the Red Line rumble above you while you eat. Other than that, the place is quiet and the lady behind the counter is plenty friendly without being annoying. Perfect for the student looking to do some catch-up reading right before class (as is usually the case for me). The burger I had was nothing spectacular, but it was fresh and tasty without overdoing the grease. It certainly compares favorably to anything you'd get at your average fast food joint anyway. The fries also fit the "nothing really special, yet tasty and fresh" mold. It helped that there were quite a few of them. I threw a little salt at the tray and had no complaints. The best part here, however, is the price. Five bucks flat for a decent sized burger, a good serving of fries and a can of soda. The menu looked to have numerous similarly priced options. Food and ambiance alone are pretty firmly in the 3-star range, but for the price and convenience I'll throw that extra star on there. I will be stopping back by. read more

Love this place! Same guy everyday by himself so please be patient if you order from him and remember he is operating solo! Great, cheap and quick food. The gyros are my favorite! Lived in New York for many years, and got addicted to corner street gyros, and his are by far the closest I have come to a quick streetcar gyro. Lots of flavor and white sauce is on point! Always has a smile on and works his butt off! read more

The tacos are about as cheap as it gets in the area and are the BEST in the area! This place is conveniently located right off the Jarvis red line stop and the service is always great. read more

They double tax if you use a credit or debit card. Claim to up charge an additional $.50 when it is the extra change plus an additional tax fee. They only got one star because of that since it is illegal to do so. The food is decent if you want a gyro, burger, hot dog, or fries. I would not recommend the Philly steak sandwich or any of the breakfast sandwiches. They also have decent milkshakes. read more

Great little neighborhood place. Always really happy with the quality and the price. I think it really maybe one of the best spots in Rodgers Park for no-frills meals. Can get a little backed up considering there is only one guy working usually. I would highly suggest trying this place out. read more

Update: most recent visit, fries were cold. Next time I'm there I am going to say something about it to the manager (who is ALWAYS there) and see if he does anything about it. I'm keeping it 5 stars till then. Food here is really good, especially the gyros and fries. Actually the fries are SUPER yummy (they are seasoned and crispy). The prices are also VERY reasonable. Despite the 5 stars, there are two issues: 1. They are only open until 9 pm and a restaurant with food this good should be open later, and 2. They don't handle crowds well. Everything is cooked to order in the order it comes through the door. They only do one order at a time, so if you come in and there are 3 people ahead of you (not at all unusual) plan on waiting a LONG time. You CAN call ahead though, and it will be ready when you get there. Oh and another BIG plus for Rogers Park--you can park in the lot with the laundromat! read more

The best hole in the wall place for a simple burger and fries. Right off the jarvis red line. Just good, cheap food :)

Tasty and cheap! Everything had a higher quality than I expected. The burger was great, and so were the tacos. No complaints! I enjoy the weird wall art, Spider-Man and superman...and Da Bears. It's kooky, but the food is varied and well made for a greasy spoon. Being right by the train is a big plus too. read more

Great local jam. They have a variety of items with the atmosphere you exactly expect. No frills. Just good fried local food. Gyros, burgers, burritos, gyro burrito, wings, fries, etc. if you want a quick heart attack, which I do, this is the spot. read more

This little grill is ok. The Chicago style hot dog was my first. I ate here with a friend when visiting Chicago. While the hot dog was decent, there really was not anything else very noteworthy about this place in terms of atmosphere, fries, etc. It is a cheap grill with a deep fryer and soccer playing on the TV over the half dozen or so tables. read more

Really great and quick, tasty gyros. The guy behind the counter is always so fast and friendly. The food is all very inexpensive. I've only ever tried the gyros but they're as good as any. read more

Fantastic place to pick up a quick bite! Serving everything from burgers to tacos to gyros, the food is great and very inexpensive. You can get a hot dog combo with fries and a drink for about $3-4! Staff is friendly and there are always... well, interesting Spanish soap operas or soccer games on TV. Worth a try for newbies! read more

We've been customers for over 13 years. It's not fancy, but it's good takeout, always willing to accommodate special requests, and the owner is a dollface who has always remembered my kids. Great Gyros, Greek salad with grilled chicken is different but delicious (pickles are not cucumbers, lol) with lots of feta and freshly charred chicken. My kids love the hotdogs and burgers. A good solid haunt around the corner. read more

I've lived around the corner from this lovely place for nearly four years. It doesn't matter how much time has passed, I still roll over with a dull headache and Jameson glazed hunger pangs on Sunday's and think of you. I want your pizza puff, onion rings, and I'd even take some of that lamb that has the spins worse than I do. But you're closed... and it hurts me. read more

The food tastes great. It's definitely a great place to grab takeout in the neighborhood. I gave it 4 out of five stars because the menu does not have a good variety of healthy choices, but there's something for almost everyone there. read more

I used love going into this place. Ever since the owner hired some kid to run his shop, the service has been in decline. I've been in three time since the new guy was hired and every time I have experienced terrible service. Orders incorrectly taken, being told that he can't put mayo on a burger, I am finding that I would rather walk two blocks west to his competitor than deal with the terrible service. read more

Its a fried grease bomb. Which is cheap and good (most things). Amazing chicken wings (w/o sauce). The guys that work there are pretty cool too. I am not a fan of livingin R Park, but ehhh, this place isnt so bad. read more

I've been here a lot of times after work and on the weekends. Great convenient location, great food, large menu with good prices!
