Have gone here several times for carry out. I enjoyed gyros sandwiches as the meat was sliced just right and it was hot. The thing I like the best as the meat was not pre sliced and warmed on the flat top. The fries were hot and fresh. The people were friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not modern inside but very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My Uncle had the Spaghetti and meatballs. I had the chicken Gyro. Fast polite people and good food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]With the traffic in and out, the neighborhood likes this place as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back and eat here again. read more

It all went to crap when Mike the Original owner sold the place. We were customers there for 30+ years. It was our go to place. Food has gone way down hill with much smaller meals . Too many GOOD places to eat in the area. read more

Found myself heading to Frankfort for a comedy show and a search got me looking at Kismet. Their Italian beef hot dipped was amazing. So much flavor and the heat is hot. Thinly sliced and moist. Really enjoyed the onion rings, cooked to perfection. Bread had a good chew and held together. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A bit chilly inside but I was only one dining in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was spick and span and staff were friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great special meal deals too. read more

This Italian Beef surprised me on how good it was. Fries were ok but the beef was great. Remind me of Chickies Beef in Little Village.

Always consistent food quality and fast service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pick up or in house dinning facility is clean and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Long time local resident and it's our favorite "fast" food. Usually call the order in and pick up is fast and easy! The Greek salad is our go-to, always fresh and large for some leftovers the next day! Gyros are fresh and always willing to add some extra yummy sauce. The menu is pretty large so be sure to check it all out. read more

Great good, fabulous service. Super fast too. We love this place! Especially the grilled chicken sandwich - super yummy.

Their food and prices are the best! I highly recommend the cod and the cream of chicken soup!

Have always liked the Kismet in Orland since the early 80's.. Had some business in Frankfort so tried the Kismet in Frankfort. Same Great food. It's not just burgers and dogs either. Had a Greek Chicken Kabob dinner, & a Gyros plate dinner. All really good! Service was efficient, & Friendly. Place was clean. Good spot. read more

Classic gyro/hot dog/burger place, kind of old school. They do have home cooked meal specials during the week. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mom and pop independent vibe that's rare these days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do seem to care about service, always quick but still made to order. read more

Must try old school dive that's been around since 1977. Excellent food with extensive menu. Close to Hollywood casino amphitheater. So great place to eat before concert. read more

Great food and great service. Kismet has it all. Clean premises, great value and delicious. What a combo!

Love love love kismet. Always fresh and delicious. Such a great spot to grab lunch or dinner with a variety of options.

This restaurant is a staple in Frankfort. Have been coming here since I was a kid. The owner is kind and cares about her customers. Best cream of chicken rice soup in the area. read more

This is one of those diner type places with a huge menu, lots of choices on what to eat. We're out of towners, ate here twice since it was close by. Kinda had a mixed bag of reactions on the food. 1st visit I had an Italian beef sandwich. Beef was a bit bland and juice was just saltwater. My fries were crazy salty too. Wife had a chicken Caesar salad and it was great! Her grilled cheese and bacon wasn't very good though. 2nd visit we tried a cheesesteak, a chili dog, and a cheeseburger. All were awesome. Milkshakes were good too. So yeah, like I said, mixed bag. But the people were super nice, service was fast, place was reasonably clean. There's a lot more on the menu that looks worth trying, so I'd be willing to come back. read more

Had a taste for a tuna melt... did not disappoint!! Delicious!! Always great, quick service!

Wow, like night and day. First time I went was a 5 star burger experience. Today the burger was skinny, dry, and seemed worse than a Big Mac patty.... 2 stars because the onion rings were awesome. But that burger was a major disgrace and disappointment.. read more

Pretty sure this was THE BEST gyros I have ever had! Outstanding! And while I did get the large gyros, it was ridiculously full of meat! Got the Italian sausage for my son-in-law add he loved it. Fries and cheese curds equally good. Very friendly people working the counter. All in all 5 stars across the board!! read more

Kismet - Large Gyros! Should call it the Mega Gyros!! - New American Near Me - Frankfort, Illinois

Everybody remembers the local greasy-spoon they grew-up with. Now that I'm no longer in Chicago, Kismet is like a flashback to my childhood. Nobody goes here for health food so I can't fault them for providing what people want. Fast, courteous service at an affordable price. read more

Been coming here since... god knows, maybe 96'? Always loved it. I gotta say that there are many burger joints out there, but this one is cut from a different cloth. The food is fantastic (don't get me started on the burgers) and the menu is extensive with many different options. The price that they charge as well is very appropriate and not expensive whatsoever. The one woman that's worked there for quite some time. Can't recall her name but she's been there for years maybe mid twenties? She's an absolute peach. She helps make the place what it is that's for sure. All in all 5/5!! read more

Kismet - New American Near Me - Frankfort, Illinois

Greek salad is sooo good! And of course gyros are one of the best around! Great staff always so pleasant!

I've never had a bad meal here. Their regular menu has a ton of options and their daily specials are always good. Things like Pastitsio, Goulash, Meatloaf, etc. We love their soups, and have now fallen in love with their mashed potatoes. We've even called ahead and ordered large containers of potatoes and green beans as sides for our meals at home. Always clean, always friendly, and always good. read more

Every time we walk in the door we are greeted by a friendly staff. The food is mostly all fresh and soups are made in house. The prices are right and rarely if ever are there any disappointments. We will continue to visit on a regular basis and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who hasn't tried it yet. read more

Food is tasty, priced right, lots of "specials", and served up fast and friendly! Also, appreciate all the precautions they've been taking during the pandemic, feel very good about patronizing them. Support your local businesses ... Frankfort Kismet!!! read more

Let me tell you I could not write this review fast enough. 1st at 47 years of living in the Chicagoland area I have tried Italian beef sandwiches and combos all over this city and state and I consider myself a connoisseur. Let me tell Kismet has 1 of the top 2 all time best tasting combos that I have ever tasted all time along with Tonys Italian beef 7007 S Pulaski Rd, Chicago, IL 60629 both places are 1 and 1a on my list of all time and Johnnie's 7500 W North Ave, Elmwood Park, IL 60707 now falls to 3rd of Italian beef combo sandwiches. The Italian beef is seasoned to perfection the Italian sausage is phenomenal put that all together with mozzarella and giardiniera peppers and you have pure Heaven Tonys has held the title for a long time but Kismet is the new champ in my book I'm so glad I found them and the are so close. So if you are ever in the area please give the a try you will not be disappointed! read more

Best place in town Great Gyros and friendly honest staff. Highly recommend you stop in for the soup hotdogs burgers or dinner specials.

This little place has about all you could ask for. It includes appetizers,salads, chicken dinners, fish dinners variety of hot dogs hot plates of hot beef and brown gravy and pork tender loin and hot turkey with gravy. Fresh made barbecue and ,burgers . fresh made beef and more. Oh yes, and fish is cod or ocean perch. They have club sandwiches as well as subs. read more

This place is AUTHENTIC! It still has the white old school menu mounted up on the wall with the little black letters-how legit is that? Anyway, apparently they're known for their gyros, however I had my first Chicago-style hotdog here (vienna sausage) the first day and a chili burger with an egg on the second day:) Stupid good! The fries were perfectly fries to where they were crispy too-whaaaaa!? They have ice cream as well, but my guy was about to explode, so I didn't have any of that. Definitely worth the time to find and eat:) read more
