I should have checked with Yelp before we stopped for lunch on Wednesday at 11:38. Ordered two gyros. Waiting waiting After 25 minutes I inquired at the counter and the gyros weren't even made because they had a huge order. I asked for a refund on my credit card and received it the next day. What a waste of time. read more

Everything they have is outstanding!!!!! Gyro very good it's like being in Chicago again. Chicken skewers are very good. Pizza puffs fry's. read more

We have driven by this place many times and decided to stop for lunch. Fried Chicken sandwich with crispy French fries & a gyro & Diet Coke. All were very good! They also have Coke Zero, ice cream & beer! We will return!! Sad that we didn't come sooner! read more

Visited for first time today. Cute place with video slots (of course!). Tried the snack sampler. Very yummy. Son had a hot dog which for $4 was small and came with nothing. Sampler was priced well for what ypu got. Staff friendly. Chairs were needing some TLC. I'd visit again. read more

I typically enjoy this place. Yesterday I had a terrible experience with them. I ordered an Italian beef with an extra side of aus jus. I enjoy thier aus jus. I get the delivery and it came with a tiny little 2 ounce cup of aus jus. Not the nice big 12 ounce cup. Happened once before and the manager brought me what I ordered. The person I talked to told me I didn't order right that I needed to write a note I wanted the 12 ounce. Besides that the sandwich was horrible, very little meat this time. Since I did not get what I ordered, they argued with me and essentially gave me a cheesy pepper sandwich. Screw them in the future. I suggest they hire people that speak english. read more

It's been years since I've been to Kojak's, but we came back home for a visit over the holidays and were looking for a dinner on Christmas Eve. We lucked out with Kojak's being one of the few places open. We called to order gyros and fries for pickup. While I can't comment on dining in, I imagine it's similar to years ago where it's more fast casual where you take a seat after ordering and wait to go grab your order. I heard they're under new ownership, so I was curious how the food has held up. The gyros were HUGE! I could barely finish half, it had so much meat. There were a bit too many onions, but that's not too problematic since you can just pull some off. The tzatziki was a bit thick and missing some flavor, it seemed like mostly just the cucumber and yogurt but was missing some of the lemon, herbs, and olive oil flavor. The fries were crispy and solid, pretty fresh. My mom liked her chicken kebabs, and we all had some of the rice pilaf which was super flavorful (and there was a TON). It's not quite as great as I remember, but I'm definitely open to coming back when I'm in town. read more

Chicken caesar wrap is amazing!!!The onion rings are so crispy and delicious as well!! 10/10

it's a nice clean, orderly restaurant, the friendly wait staff will see you, bring you a cupholder of straw, condiments, and utensils, all upon request! And the restrooms are superduper, clean, and smelling nice... read more

We ordered dinners on May 1, 2026. The double burger and the patty melt had the wax paper cooked in between the pattys. We are all disgusted. I usually like this place. They are hit and miss with grizzly meat for the skirt steak sandwich but this was really gross. ​ read more

I was visiting family and they suggested we order from Kojak's. I have never had their food. I ordered online, very easy. My pickup was ready on time. The chicken Gryos is really good! The meat is tender and flavorful. There was plenty of meat and toppings. The honey mustard is tasty. Everyone in my family enjoyed all of the food we ordered. Regular Gryos, sweet potato fries (yummy), burger and chicken kabobs. Reasonable prices. I'll order again! read more

Terrible service. No o r could even take an order. It took 10 minutes to order a salad and 2 hotdogs. Guess you lost another customer.

Just had the 1/2 Greek chicken delivered. What a huge disappointment! Literally zero flavor. I've lived in Cary for over 20 years. I remember the old kojaks. Back then, the Greek chicken was to die for! Now? Get a hotdog. What happened? Do better folks. read more

Horrible service. Girl at the register literally said "I don't have time for questions" when I asked what was on a specific sandwich. I was the only one in line. Any maybe only 5 other people in the entire joint. Food has gone down hill considerably as well. Sad sad. read more

It had been quite a while since my family had ordered Kojak's. We just weren't getting the same experience, but wow am I happy we went back. By far the best Kojak's experience we've ever had and we used to be regulars. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken as I had often done and it wasn't just a bunch of lettuce as it had been times before. Lots of olives, onions, feta, chicken and peppers instead of a limited amount. My husband ordered a southwestern salad and had a similar experience with his. Our son enjoyed his chicken tenders and onion rings again and they were cooked perfectly. I don't know if it changed hands but hope it forever stays this way. read more

Not a good experience tonight. I had placed an order at 7:10pm online for a burger and mozzarella sticks, pretty simple I thought. Arrived a bit before 7:20pm to find out it was super busy with a line around the tables. Kids screaming and running everywhere. I order my food online for a quick pick-up to avoid that. So I got in line to pick up my order I placed online. Ten mins later, I tell the guy at the counter I'm here for my order. He tells the people in the kitchen. I continue to wait, standing and waiting where I could without trying to stand in people's way. I start to realize everyone is getting their food except for me. I ask the guy again, at this point it's 7:40pm. He goes in the kitchen and the bag was just there sitting on the ledge. I told him I placed the order 30 minutes ago. No apology or anything, but hey...the food was still good. I feel it will be a long while before I return after tonight. read more

We started ordering from Kojack's during the pandemic, to support local and all that... Food was okay then, but every other delivery order was missing something - all but one drink, or all of the fries, or we would order 8 meals and 1 person's meal would be missing... The usual response was we will give you store credit, cool cool. Well, after a few times of that happening, we stopped ordering for delivery. I went in today to use those credits - and they wouldn't honor any of the credits! Granted, some of them were 2 years old (apparently the owner changed since then and it's beyond them to honor a $7 credit from the former owners or even look up my more recent credits). Also, if you like beef and cheddar croissants, don't get it here, it's basically like a beef and nacho squeeze faux cheese product, no actual cheddar to be found. With service like this, we will once again stop ordering from Kojack's for the foreseeable future. read more

Ordered chicken gyro and found the meat to be dried out and tasteless. Also ordered a buffalo chicken wrap. It was soaked through with ranch and not edible. Won't be going back. read more

I ordered wings and i got served 1/3 of a wing that's false advertising a wing consist of three pieces not one piece. read more

My son tried to use a gift card I purchased late last summer and was told it expired. The cashier then proceeded to take it from him. Went to speak to the manager today on his behalf and because I purchased the card and the manager was very rude and basically said "tough". What I find shocking is this place used to be bustling at 6 PM and there was not one person in there. This place has gone down hill quickly under new ownership! read more

Food had no flavor and was cold before we even began eating very disappointing for not that many customers.

I ordered a salad... the lettuce was brown and orange... I went to complain, the lady that helped me looked at me like I owed her an apology for their mistake. She took the salad looked at it gave it to the guy in the back... he brought out another one... the lettuce was still discolored! They didn't apologize, handed me the container and that's all. I wasn't there for free food so I didn't complain again but they saw me throw away the container... $10.99 for a salad that was expired!! My bf ordered a beef combo, the bread was so wet you couldn't even hold it. If yall order anything that consists of "juicy or dry" ask for dry with juice on the side! Definitely not going back! read more

Been here 3 times and the food is meh... I ordered a gyro-melt and there was a bit of mold flavor to it but impossible to see if in fact it was moldy. It's a reach anywhere since Mr Beefy's closed shop. Likely the last time we give this place a shot. read more

We came in today for hotdogs, upon ordering the two hotdogs special I was asked "do you want large or medium fries?" I responded " what size comes with the special?" The person behind the counter got confused, with help from another person I was able to place the order. Then we proceeded to wait 15 minutes during which time other people placed orders and received them. I then saw the person behind the counter hand my order to the cook. I went back to the counter and asked what was the delay and was told " some food takes longer ". I believe I was owed an apology but did not get one. Very poor customer service! The hotdogs were good but no ice tea at the fountain but it was available in a bottle . I used to like the place but not anymore! read more

This place is terrible. 18.00 for a Greek salad with chicken. Wilted iceberg lettuce that tastes like soap, wilted tomatoes (all 2 slices), chicken was old af, and the feta didn't taste right. Didn't bother calling again because what's the point? This place sucks. Overpriced, rude employees, crap food quality and options. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere but here. Will be calling the health department on these lazy bums! Have some damn integrity. This is how ppl get sick.. fuckers! read more

The gyros are good. Fries crispy and hot. Service is always fast. The overall interior could use a refresh.

Had Kate as my waitress. Horrible person. She was touching her hair and parts of her uniform and then touching my food. I was disgusted. Food was decent but sorry, I was turned off. read more

Had a char-broild hot dog meal, Chicago style, it was great. The service was good too, really friendly people. I love the lay back feel of the restaurant too. read more

I've ordered here multiple times. Good is great! But this is the second time I have order on Uber eats and twice I have ordered cheese with my fries and have not received them. Nothin like ordering cheese with your fries and then you don't get it! read more

If you are looking for good food without the great service, this is your spot. The only time they can get your order correct is if you order it in front of them. Instead of admitting fault on messing up the order and offer to remake what you can't eat, KATE'S wonderful combative attitude and lack of professionalism, lost all of us as regular customers. How embarrassing for Kojaks to have someone like Kate representing their business. read more

Since it's so important to keep the local businesses open and running right now I wanted to try Kojak's. Kojak's is accommodating during this pandemic as they offer no contact carry out which I tried a couple times now. I ordered their grilled chicken pita with everything on it which was very good and same with their cheese fries. Their burger unfortunately was not as good. The staff that came to my car both times were both very friendly. The second time the wait took a while but worth it. I'm looking forward to trying their grilled chicken Malibu sandwich on a croissant with bacon and American cheese tonight! They have many selections on their menu. I overall give them 3.75 stars. I will definitely be back. :) read more

The food here is great! I been eating here for tears and have never had bad food! I recommend the greek freak sandwich. It is amazing!

Worst Polish sausage sandwich I've ever had! First of all my bun was hard, way, way too much mustard and why the heck would you deep fry it and a real Polish sausage comes on French bread. Never again read more

Bravo! Dinner last night was amazing. We ordered the chicken skewers with the rice and salad. Amazing. Dinner was hot, well seasoned, and ready for pickup when I arrived. A nice gentleman handed me my order and I was back at home within minutes. You made a hard day that much easier by ordering from you last night. Thank you again for a memorable dinner and we will be back again soon. Bravo! Well done! read more

Friendly staff and great meals for individuals or large families. Carry out and delivery are available too.

Awesome Greek Salad and ice cream shakes! Great place to walk to and grab a bite. Very clean and good customer service.

My wife and I have been loyal customers for over 5 years and we have only had 1 or 2 delivery orders that were not what we ordered. Tonight was one of those very rare occasions. They made the correction and had it in our hands within minutes! Simply outstanding!! This is why we will always be loyal customers. read more

Food is great but don't expect good service. Also rude people working there. Too many other places to go so not wasting our time going here ever again!! Also, if they make any mistake they don't own up to it and just really don't care about their customers. I think that is the most important part of any business is when customers want to come back again and again. read more

There food is good. They need to clean the door before you enter nobody cleans it. Otherwise okay

When in Greece, I mean Cary, eat at Kojak's! I first met Kojack's in 1999 and it was love at first sight. I moved away in 2001, but have fond memories of the 1/2 Greek Chicken. So good, I think about it often. Fresh Grilled, marinated in Greek Gold and served over a bed of fries. The juices from the chicken run down over the fries for a completely insane experience. Served with a Greek salad, my life is complete! Thanks for still being here Kojacks! You can only imagine my horror as I drove past the old digs and seeing it empty! Thank God for yelp as I would have driven back to my hotel in Chicago very sad. See you the next time Kojack's read more

Kojak's - 1/2 Greek Chicken Love - American Near Me - Cary, Illinois

Kate was a horrible person lacks empathy, has a very ugly tone we ordered 110 dollars of food when the food was finished they didn't call our name out, and when we order for a side of cheese or ranch and it's missing from our order politely mention it to them and she goes on to role her eyes, not even "I do apologize let me get it for you" my whole family and I have been following this business since 2009 when they started small they had wonderful workers back then very polite, greeting everyone with a wonderful smile. Now the workers here look like they hate there job and wants to make the customers feel they are not welcomed! I do hope the owner of this restaurant reads this and hires new people with a much better attitude. read more
