We have been going to Lillys for years! Everything is always good and if you want to enjoy the food and drinks HURRY! All of this and great service with a smile! read more

Always good gyros-I like the chili burgers also and soups family run business for years not a fan of the salads

Absolutely INCREDIBLE gyros. I would recommend for people of all ages and backgrounds to try it.

Food was abundant and delicious! One of those little hole in the wall places that you're so happy you went to. Gyros was huge and very good. Very clean. Would stop again. read more

I feel bad giving Lily's ONLY 3 stars...when it deserves 5!! The reason for this is very valid...They REFUSE to have regular and productive HOURS OF BUSINESS!!! They close EVERY DAY at FOUR O'CLOCK...right when EVERYONE wants to eat!! Look, If you're LAZY and only want to work 4-5 HOURS A DAY...HIRE A STAFF!!! This place has the best gyros around... ...but EVIDENTLY only for MID-DAY LUNCH & THAT'S IT!!! It's just too bad the owners are lazy & TOO CHEAP to HIRE a staff!!! read more

The vegetarian options are great. The fries are the absolute best. The Greek salad is the best! I highly recommend this restaurant!

I had a hankering for spanakopita (Greek spinach pie) and was able to get it here! Although you only get too small triangles in order, they taste delicious! read more

Lilly Gyros - Updated Menu Prices - Greek Near Me - Fairview Heights, Illinois

Have longed to find a place that could make a decent gyro and FINALLY have found it ... Lilly's Gyros. My first time visit today left me with few expectations as it is just a small mom and pop place but I was very happy when I tasted that first bite of beef and lamb gyros. Well done! Well done!!! read more

On our way to the airport and needed a quick stop for lunch. Found this place and WOW. Housed in an unassuming old Taco Bell building, one wouldn't know to expect the best gyro of your life. But that's what I got! All 3 of us loved our food and ate every last bit. Service was super friendly and helpful. Next time I return to Illinois I'm going to request a repeat visit! read more

The food is definitely 5 star worthy. Absolutely the gyro I have ever had. This place is run by a Greek couple - you know it is authentic Greek when the wife wrote my name in Greek! She was such a sweet lady too. Both my friend and I ordered their lunch special consisting of a gyro, soda, and fries or side salad. Surprisingly they did not have Greek dressing for salad. Salad was pretty basic but lettuce was fresh and crisp. The gyro was loaded with meat. The reason for my 4 stars is the bathroom. Have to walk outside to back of the building to use restroom. When I went in the light would not come on. It took me 3x open and close door before the automatic light came on. The lock on door seemed pretty flimsy too. Summary: fantastic food but hopefully you won't need restroom. read more

Service My husband asked for no onions and he got onions. When he asked for a new gyro she told him to pick them out! He doesn't like the flavor and he should not have to pick them off. A customer should be happy with his food. We left and I had to eat both of the gyros. read more

Always a great meal. Gyros are good and tender and the prices are good. The salads rate. Onion rings are great as well.

The food and the owners are phenomenal! The gyros are huge and delicious! And I picked up fresh made baklava to take home!!!!! It's family owned and Fairview Heights' best kept secret. They close at 4 so go for lunch or take home for dinner. read more

Gyros are the best in the area Friendly atmosphere. The whole menu is nice. Wish they had longer hours

Have been going to Lily's since I moved to FH in 2013. They are truly the best family owned gyro spot around. It's reminiscent of all of the mom and pop eateries from Chicago, except, it's in Fairview Heights:) ... a gem in a sea of corporate chain restaurants:) read more

Lily's has been a staple in my family for over twenty years. I'm so lucky to have these genuinely kind people in my community that care about their customers along with top notch quality food. Everyone should treat themselves to this nice local take out with dine in option available where you will find Lily's smile for free. Wishing Ian and Lily good health. Happy gryos read more

Gyros should be sliced in extra thin long slices and not in thick short chunks. Disgusting.

So let's talk about Lilly's. #1. I love you Lilly. You are the sweetest person ever and have always made me feel like an old friend when I walk in the door. As a Chicagoland native Gyro is common in my vernacular. Lilly's is the closest thing there is to Chicago style gyros, hot dogs, Italian beef's, you name it. Kind of a cool nostalgic place since it is an "ancient" Taco Bell. I hope this wonderful place exists forever. read more

Delicious. Long term restaurant. Best Gyros in town. Friendly, reasonable, and family Oriented.

Great GREEK food. Authentic GREEK food made by Greeks, OPA!! My next trip to my dentist office we will buy some more Great Greek food!

This place has some amazing food. They have chicken shawarma, stuffed cabbage, balaclava and lamb gyros. Really everything is great here so just get anything. They also have lunch specials if you just want something quick. I ordered on the phone and did a pick up in person. They had the food fast and it was warm. Definitely check this place out. read more

Lilly serves by far the best gyros I've ever eaten. All of her food is excellent. But the gyros raises the bar for every restaurant around. This is a great family owned place that deserves to be on your favorites list. read more

This is a Gross place my food was over cooked nasty gyro bad rude people work here manager lady rude b disrespectful over charged me every thing bad save your money stay away I'm calling the health department read more

Family owned and operated business. Amazing gyro sandwiches. My go to when craving some gyros.

Excellent spinach spanakopita and service. Everything is authentic tasting and the people that run it are very nice and fast

I absolutely ADORE this gyros place in Fairview Heights! I don't get here nearly as often as I would like! Being from Chicago I love gyros and love Greek food, including saganaki, spanakopita, dolmades and more. This place doesn't have all my Greek favorites that I remember enjoying in Greektown Chicago, but the gyros here are just as good! They definitely use Kronos products and have their gyros sliced off the rotating spit, none of that flat prepackaged meat mess that looks like bacon slabs. Ugh. Definitely check this family owned business out. It is a nice Greek couple who owns it and their 2 sons work there too occasionally so once again as a huge advocate for small business, please check this place out. They have been around forever so let's keep them around forever more! read more

I will never set foot back in Lilly's after being a customer more than a decade. Here's what happened. I placed an order for our Monitor Newspaper office. It's an order I placed regularly which included a chicken gyro without tomatoes. This was basically a standing order because one of my colleagues is allergic to tomatoes. I sent my nephew in to pay for it and told him to make sure it didn't have tomatoes. When he returned to the car, he had paid for an extra sandwich because he asked about the tomatoes and it included them. He told them the order wasn't correct, but they made him pay for an extra sandwich. I went back into the restaurant and she said my nephew placed the wrong order and Lily's quote: "We've had problems with him before. I wouldn't lie to you Miss Linda". She continued saying why couldn't he eat the sandwich. He doesn't eat gyros. I said I would give it to a friend and she readily accepted that saying "Yes, give it to a friend." There are several issues with this. First, I placed the order. Secondly, he never placed any orders. Third, when I asked her when he had given them any trouble, she said she didn't know. I purposefully asked that question as I was the person who routinely picked up my orders and he didn't even live in the area for over a year. To say she had had trouble with him before was the worst part and he's collectively described for having a gentle spirit. That's why he paid for a whole separate sandwich that he shouldn't have. It took me a couple of months to return to finally address this. When I returned, I asked that she either give a sandwich to someone else or make one of our sandwiches free. Mind you I was willing to place a complete new order, but to make it right for what occurred surrounding the one sandwich. As I said, I was angry at the employee for lying about the order and then Lilly for not being truthful. No one from my office has patronized them since that incident and after hoping they would make it right I am absolutely not setting foot in there again. read more

There is a whole genre of movies where the male lead (usually hunky but dim witted) spends the first two acts chasing the snooty "hot chick". All along there is a "regular" girl (glasses, braces, and/or bad clothes) who wants to love him and be a good partner for him. Early in act 3, he finally notices her (she changes something, hair down, glasses off, etc.). The rest of the film is them, together, putting the hot chick in her place and getting their relationship started. We got here in July of 2017, we go to the gym in Fairview Heights Plaza. We live in Swansea so we pass Lily's 3-5 evenings a week and some weekends. Introductions makes sense now, right. Today, 19 OCT, 2019 we stopped and had lunch at Lily's. The charm starts on entry, a sweet voice rings out a greeting. You look at the charming, kitschy menu sheets pasted above the window (it looks random, but those are the braces). It is a simple little place, nothing fancy (that's the glasses). I got a medium gyro and small fry, my wife got cabbage rolls and small fry. The food is brought out to you. So here is that scene where the plain girl shakes out her hair, and takes her glasses off (in slow motion). Everything was hot, freshly hand crafted and just plain good. My gyro was packed with tasty mystery cone, sauce, onion and tomato...nearly perfect. The wife liked her cabbage roll, I tasted the simple red sauce (olive oil for creaminess?) it was mild but tasty. I'm sure that in this little cinema romp, Hop House over in O'Fallon is that snooty, mean girl. She could learn a thing or five from Lilly. read more

I like gyros and I get them when I travel but I love lily's and they are in my backyard so even better, the old 80s Taco Bell hides one of Fairviews best kept secrets, seriously the wrap is large enough for a second round! read more

Amazing gyros! Always prepared and cooked perfectly. Very small and quaint little place. Small parking lot but rarely full except during lunch/dinner hours. You can eat in or take to-go. Owners are behind the counter and smile constantly. Very happy place. FYI, you get a ton of food so come with an empty stomach and ready to eat. I'd give 6 stars if I could! read more

I love this little gem of a restaurant! Lily and her husband are always friendly and greet their customers cheerfully. The Gyros are hot, generously sized and delicious! Fries are also perfectly hot and yummy. They have other items on the menu, but I love their Gyros so much that I've never tried anything else. read more

We went here looking for a decent gyro place. The tzatziki sauce was definitely not a traditional tzatziki sauce and was runny and gross. The meat was dry and I wasn't impressed overall. read more

Like Gyros? Lilly's is your place! Great Quality Gyro meat/Pita/Ingredients and VERY generous with portions! We've ate here for years and the owner and her husband care deeply about QUALITY and it shows! The owners practically live at there restaurant to ensure quality is consistent! There are other good things on the menu but Again the stand out here is the GYROs! This is a Hidden gem in Fairview Heights! Those who know get it. Great Job Lilly and Ian! read more

Small place with limited seating. Order at the counter and wait for your name to be called.

Food is amazing! The Gyros are honestly the best I ever had. I would recommend to everyone. They also have a menu for the kiddos that aren't ready for a Gyro! The cheeseburgers are great too. read more

Lilly and Ian are the best people, and the gyros are wonderful! They have reduced hours now, but it's definitely worth the trip! Big portions! I love the Greek salad, too! read more

I love gyros and Greek salads and all good foods from the Mediterranean and Lily's does a great job of preparing these foods! Truthfully, this little tiny place is the ideal "mom & pop" place to go for really great food. Service is fairly quick and accurate, depending on the time of day. read more

Great family owned restaurant. Excellent fresh made food with large portions. Can't wait to try it again!

Fantastic food. Lovely owners. Small but cozy place. I've been coming here for at least 10 years andi love it every time

Best gyro in the area. Their falafel is good too. Prices are reasonable and service is good. Daily specials are good as well.
