Then was given two out of a bunch of stacked containers behind the register. If I hadn't inquired wouldn't have known. In past visits they always walked around with a tray and offered.

Sent here and chatted with the owners for a while. Food is outstanding, much better than it was before, and very fresh. Salads are crisp and don't taste like they've been hanging out all day. The Gyro is very flavorful and not so fatty like other places. Most use Kronos Gyro's, but the meat they use simply tastes much better. Lamb here is amazing. Glad they have it. Very well cooked, very juicy and flavorful. Baklava is outstanding. Head and shoulders above others I've tried. Owners are very, very friendly and open about the business, and the restaurant itself is much cleaner and far more organized than the last. No more kitchen fights, which I suppose is a tragedy for all those entertained by the old owners but who cares, the food and friendly atmosphere is a welcome change. Will be coming here much more regularly than before, where I only went to get a quick bite to eat because better restaurants are too far. This one stands head and shoulders above those and it's close by, which is great. read more

I recently had the pleasure of trying JJ's Gyros and I cannot stop raving about it! The chicken shawarma sandwiches are absolutely delicious - bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and juicy, and the combination of spices and sauces was just mouthwatering. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff at JJ's Gyros were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain the menu options and help me choose the perfect meal. The service was prompt and attentive, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere at JJ's Gyros was also great - clean and inviting with a cozy vibe. I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. I will definitely be returning to JJ's Gyros for more of their mouthwatering chicken shawarma sandwiches and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and exceptional service. read more

What a shocker this place was! I intended to order a Gyros but I saw a sign that said "Italian Beef" and it was a special with frys! So I thought, why not try it! It was amazing! I am from Chicago and I know what an Italian Beef Sandwich should taste like! This was as close to Chicago style beef sandwich as it gets! My husband had the Gyros and he said it was very good! It was very reasonable and delicious! I am still thinking about it and want to go back soon! The staff is very friendly and nice! This is a place to go for sure!

Yesterday, a Tuesday about 1:00 p.m. I popped in for a takeout gyro plate with rice and Greek side salad. This comes with a giant Pita and a generous side of tzatziki sauce. It's enough for two people to have a pretty decent lunch portion for under $20. I think that they could brown the gyro meat a little bit more , but otherwise the quality is high, never gritty always sliced thin. Basmati rice is excellent, and I am particular about yellow rice actually being buttery basmati. Nice job guys! I like that there are fresh sliced tomatoes and white onions on the plate. The tomatoes get a little warm from the rice, yummy. You can eat the meat with the pita or eat it with the salad or eat it with the rice. Dip or not dip, I will finish the last drop of their tzatziki sauce. It is very creamy and rich, dilly and minty with tiny chopped cucumber. Their side Greek salad is one of the best in town. They use very fresh romaine, grape tomatoes, sliced red pepper, fresh white onion, kalamata olives and a pepperoncini. All topped with a generous sprinkling of fine grate feta pieces. Their homemade dressing is great too. I think I like their salad because it's crisp and cold, even when I get it home. On a prior visit, we got home with a partially wrong takeout meal. It was a crazy Sunday when their payment system was down, cash only. Unable to even call them to resolve the error, until the next day (because their phones were down too) I spoke to someone and tucked away the receipt . I stopped by this week with my receipt and an explanation, and they unquestioningly replaced the dish. I appreciate that this small business is good for their word. No hassle. And I will be back tomorrow again and again! Smile. A recent remodel has tightened their dining space So I would recommend take out. And I highly recommend Chicago Gyros for consistent quality meals!
