    Gyro plate

    Best thing about King Gyros is the consistency. You always know what you're going to get. From the burger to the gyro plate.. great food cheap.

    My gyro platter.  I took this photo while seated in the driver's seat.

    I'm the only one in the family who loves authentic gyros, so I came here alone through the drive-thru two days ago. (Right now that is the only thing open during this covid pandemic as the dining area is closed). It was 8:42pm, the place closes at 9pm daily, and there was a long line. That's a good sign. I could see at least six people hustling in the kitchen preparing orders. I agree with reviewers who say the place looks old and in dire need of an upgrade. It wouldn't be my first choice if driving through town for the first time. It does offer hamburgers and hot dogs for those who do not like gyros. I ordered a gyro platter for $12. It comes with two pitas, a hefty portion of meat, tomatoes, feta and onion, and fries. Tsatziki sauce comes in a small covered container. I ended up getting three meals out of that, by far one of the best deals in the area. Meat and pita were soft. The feta was cut in rather large cubes and I prefer feta crumbled, but that is a minor complaint. I'm now more curious to try the other King Gyros in the area.

    Here is one of the menus.

    This place is amazing, I'm in Indiana for business and I stopped here the atmosphere is very welcoming, great place, wish there was one back home

    Full slab of ribs l, extra fries, side of BBQ sauce.

    This is one of valpos "hole in the wall" restaurants, as well as my favorite. Their food has never disappointed me in the 15 years that I've lived in this area. My favorite is the full slab of ribs with an extra side of fries and BBQ sauce. They're tender fall off the bone, full of flavor, and have probably the one of the best BBQ sauces in town. On top of that the service is awesome. The cahsiers are always sweet and their cooks are always working hard back there.

    Quick stop for only a Chicago dog, nothing else. Three bucks and change can't beat that. Italian beef will be the next try.

    This was the first time I tried King Gyros. I was pleasantly surprised by variety of menu options & decided to try my favorite, spinach pie. It was dry for a quick service restaurant.

    In town visiting for the week and had to stop in at King Gyros. What a great value. Earlier this week had their gyros sandwich - incredible. Today I stopped in and got two hot dogs, a Chicago style dog and a chili dog with onions. They were great and only $6. Would've been $12 in San Diego. Great food, friendly people.

I could only get one bite down and had to throw it away. I can't even describe the taste because I just wanted it out of my mouth. I have never eaten here. I don't know if this is a one time thing or they are prepared like that every time. Maybe the meat wasn't mixed properly or cooked long enough. I hope it was a one off problem. I won't be taking a chance and ordering again though. I wish them well.

The moment I stepped inside, I felt like I had been transported to a small Greek taverna. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming. One of the highlights for me was being able to order and converse in Greek, it made the experience feel that much more authentic and special. Of course, I couldn't decide on just one dish, so I had to order a little bit of everything. Why not? The saganaki was absolutely delicious and is definitely a must-try. The avgolemono was decent and comforting, though it wasn't quite as memorable for me. The pastitsio was a bit of a mix. The flavor was delicious and packed with that classic Greek comfort-food goodness, but unfortunately, the béchamel was overcooked and had become too firm. Overall, between the friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and flavorful food, I had a very good experience at Greek Islands. There are still plenty of classic dishes I'd like to try, so I wouldn't hesitate to come back the next time I'm in Chicago.
