Markelia's Gyros Restaurant is very clean, the young lady that took my order was very nice and friendly. The most important thing is The Gyros were juicy and DELICIOUS not dry like I have had at other restaurants . I will tell my friends. read more

If you want a lukewarm shitty, overpriced gyros, give this dump a try. Wouldn't hit this place again in a thousand lifetimes

If I could give zero stars I would. Ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and there is no bacon so I call back to inform them and he wants to argue with me abt how he put bacon on my burger and didn't . Long story short I would Never recommend. Please Go to Mickeys for quality food!! read more

Markella's Gyros - What a fucking joke!! This isn't a dbl bacon cheeseburger!!! Waste of fucking money. - Greek Near Me - Oak Forest, Illinois

The food is great, generous portions, and great service. All be it maybe just me but they are on the pricey side.

This is a place I come to for Gyros for years and especially after several other places like Micky's down the street and Billy Boy's on 95th & Ridgeland I suspect switched from Kronos to Korfu meat that tastes sweeter, that is not really bad tasting but I just don't prefer it over what was sold all over years ago. I think Kronos raised their price that maybe everyone is switching to Korfu??? So I haven't been here in too long and now notice the same switch to the sweeter tasting meat! Anyway, not a fatal problem seeing more places are switching this way, but what makes this place stand out for me, is almost every time I come here I get into a nice conversation with many of the friendly employees over the years and have never had a bad meal for over some 15 years or so. read more

Huge gyro and meat portion. Good value. Good food fast and reasonable price. A place to return.

Best Gyros on the southside!!!! If you love cheeseburgers, this is the place. With prices that are CHEAPER than that garbage from fast food joints. Here, you get a meal, leaving satisfied . So if your going to spend hard earned money, Markellas is the place for satisfaction. read more

Really nice size portions for the price! They have a drive-thru and were super fast and friendly. I'm excited to try other items on the menu so I'll be back :) read more

Not sure how I haven't discovered this place sooner, but this place is a great Chicago Food spot. You go in and right away it reminds you of the nostalgia of living in Chicago and being able to eat at one of the many Chicago food joints: dogs, gyros, burgers, etc., Each time I've gone the service has been great and the people have been friendly. I saw someone write that the chicken gyros were horrible, but I get a chicken gyro every time (hold the tomatoes, onions, and mayo, but add Italian dressing). Mickey's down the streets gives you the driest, fattiest, nastiest chicken, but this place gives you tender, juicy chicken that is flavored well. Their fries are pretty amazing too. Stop in and grab your favorite Chicago goooods! read more

Possibly the worst chicken on a pita I've ever had. The fries weren't much better. Do yourself a favor and drive a mile north and just go to Nicky's. read more

Best gyros , great service , homemade cucumber sauce can't ask for more . Love the owners !

Great place to grab a bite to eat around the Oak Forest area. I don't come often enough, but when I do, the food is great! The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is good... What more can you ask for? I recommend the double cheeseburger. The pizza puff is also delicious and the fries are always crispy! read more

I went thru the drive thru and ordered two gyros and fries and shake and it took for ever so I asked the lady what was the hold up and some old Greek guy said if your in a hurry don't come here anymore trust me I won't it's sad u treat your customers so rude don't call your self a fast food place if your not fast read more

It's a fast food restaurant and everything was good & plentiful. I typically don't eat fast food that often, but I was in the area and hungry. If you like fast food & are in the area, I would recommend stopping by. read more

Gyros sandwich hit the spot! The picture doesn't justify the amount that they gave. It was so much and tender and yummy! The service was great. The guy and the lady at the window were very pleasant. We definitely will come back! read more

Markella's Gyros - Gyros sandwich - Greek Near Me - Oak Forest, Illinois

Spotted this place a few days ago when we drove past. Husband's a huge fan of gyros, so we had to give this place a try. We stopped in there today and got the gyro meal deal which had a gyro, fries and a medium drink. The gyro itself was HUGE. Seriously, there had to be at least 8 ounces of meat on it. Sandwich was a little greasy, but still very tasty. The fries were hot, crispy and delicious. The tzatziki sauce was AWESOME SAUCE. I loved it. My husband prefers the tzatziki sauce from Ariston in Hazel Crest, but I find Ariston's tzatziki a little too sweet. Markella's tzatziki is savory, not sweet and much closer to tzatziki I got growing up in Melbourne. The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean and the staff were cheerful and friendly. The cost for two gyro meal deals came to just under $15 - for the quality and quantity of food, is a steal. read more

For $6 you can get a large gyro and fries - a deal that can't be beat! The service is fast and polite and the location is clean and spotless. My meal was HUGE for the price I paid. I had enough to take home for dinner! The fries are awesome too. Everything is made fresh and piping hot. My onions and tomatos were crisp and juicy with the creamy tzatziki sauce and meat. They really stuff it with meat and I couldn't even fit the gyro in my mouth! I also tried the milkshake of the day, which was the oreo flavor. For $3, I got a huge 16 oz shake and it was fantastic! For under $10, I practically got two meals! Side note: they have a mini slot machine area for gambling. It's 21+. There is also an ATM here. read more

Markella's Gyros - Gyro and fries for $5.39 (under $6)! - Greek Near Me - Oak Forest, Illinois

This is a place that all of the people I work with talk about. Whenever you're looking for the Chicago Style/Greek food, everyone at my work knows that you have to go to Markella's. I almost always order the Chicken Pita or the Gyro plate. The serving sizes are very large and you always will end up with leftovers and the food is great! The employees are very nice and do their best to make sure everything is in order and their restaurant is always clean. They also have gambling machines in the restaurant, if that is something you would be interested in. I would suggest Markella's to anyone in the area looking for some great Chicago Style food at a great price! read more

In the past, I have enjoyed the food at Markella's, but man, tonight was terrible. We ordered a beef sandwich and a large fries. The bill was $12, which was pretty steep, I thought. But normally the food is so good, I did not blink an eye. Unfortunately, the bun was soggy and the beef was dry. The bun was so soggy, the sandwich fell apart and I had to move the beef to rye bread. The beef was tasteless and dry. And although the fries were plentiful, they were not seasoned at all. Doubt I will spend my money there again. read more

Decent Greek fast food joint. Better than Decent, actually. Food is fresh and hot. Usual gyro place fare and done better than the local competition. Nice, friendly people and clean!!! A big +++ read more

Love the gyros and fries with mild sauce! A prefect guilty pleasure! Staff is nice and efficient! Consistent meals. No surprises here! Keep it up! read more

I'm impressed by their hot dogs. So many places don't do them right. Simple steamed dog with relish, mustard, onion, pickle and celery salt (the latter key point) that just satisfies your palette. What's not impressive is their gyro sauce. Stereotypical sour cream based sauce when it should be made with greek yogurt. Cucumbers are not present in it either. Also do they need to advertise more for their gambling slot machines than for their food on their exterior walls? Is this place truly a restaurant or is it a casino? read more

Customer service isn't the best....when u have 2 young kids running the drive-thru, it's probably not the BEST idea. I went today after work....the kid in the drive thru was 100% absolutely STONED!!!!!....Then they have a young girl also there....that asked if I wanted fries with my pizza puff (because originally I only ordered JUST a pizza puff)....when I said, "Sure...you can add fries on that order".....this chick rolled her frickin EYES at me!!!!!.....I've been coming to this place for YEARS....but never again. Food is good, but I CERTAINLY don't need teenage attitude. Screw em. read more

I have been going here for years. You want the hottest dogs? Boom. You want the gnarliest gyros? Got em. You want a friendly atmosphere and great workers who don't judge you when you order too much? Wow this is your joint. Also you can get a mint shake year round? Hell yeah read more

Too many choices is my only complaint! Portion size is awesome and great price! Quick and friendly for sure!!

This is one my favorite places to go for a quick bite. The staff makes you feel like family and everything on the menu has been nothing but great. But my favorite thing is that you get well more than you pay for! read more

They are usually good but we got there today at 8:45 and they closed right when we got to the drive. 15 minutes earlier from what the website says they close! read more

Gyros meat was suspect. Barely any tzatziki sauce, but what little was there had no flavor. The other person I ordered with got mozzarella sticks and they had zero flavor, except for oil. Had heard great things about this place and definitely will not be back. read more

I used to stop here on the way home from work the food is always great when the owner is there otherwise forget it they will give you cold ass fries that you didn't even order trust me I don't order their fries they suck hot or cold the last time I went there I ordered a gyro and Coke they charged me for the fries that were cold and the gyro wasn't cooked the slightest bit, you lost my business for good! read more

Vienna beef, quality ingredients, food's hot and delicious and the prices are good. Chicago Greeks giving us a fantastic gyro joint. It's a family place that is well taken care of. Clean and on top of their food! Food is always great there. Small menu, but typical of what you expect in a gyro-hot dog joint. Their fries are always perfect too. Golden crispy on the outside, fluffy and hot on the inside. read more

I have been trying to find great Gyros that can help satisfy my cravings for when I can't make it to the Parthenon - who knew I could find it a few blocks from my house? Thinly sliced lamb and think creamy tzatziki sauce that is very close to the one I'm used to at the Parthenon... definitely worth a try for anyone looking to fill those cravings! read more

I like going here during my lunch to play slots while I eat my lunch but every time I go there the younger girl has an attitude and pretty rude. Think I'll just go to the place closer to work from now on. A shame because their dogs are pretty good. read more

No, just nothing special to report. Needed to grab a bite, some carbs. Ordered a pizza puff, grilled cheese on pita and mozzarella sticks with marinara, with a bland lemonade. Almost $14.00 with tax and the tiniest bag of food I've ever had at that price point. For that price I could have had a real decent dinner elsewhere. As far as foods that were of the type I ordered, I've had them better at other hot dog type places like this and larger portions. The grilled cheese pita was really silly, a glob of American cheese inserted into a half grilled tiny pita. See no reason to return. Not at all happy with stands like this in the Oak Forest area and I've been to a couple. The further drive to "Portillo's" in either Crestwood or Tinley Pk. seems to be more worth it. read more

Favorite gyro place in the area! The meat is always cooked just perfectly right, hot and fresh, great prices, good service... Amazing.

We saw this place in passing on our way to Chicago and stopped for a quick bite to eat before a wedding (you never know what you are going to get with wedding food!). Man am I glad we stopped!!! We ordered mozzarella sticks, French fries, and chocolate shakes. I kid you not, the French fries were the best I have ever had. And I have had my share of fries! They were perfectly crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. Not at all dry, greasy, or overcooked like fries so often are. The flavor was fantastic. If France were the creator of French fries, they would ask this guy for tips. My mouth is watering as I write this, thinking of these fries. The chocolate milkshake was pretty amazing too, made with real ice cream in perfect proportion, the perfect accompaniment for the heaven fries. I just wish this place wasn't a 10 hour drive from home! read more

This place was very good. The owner was very nice, and we had a 45min conversation about the world's ills..lol.. But besides that, the food was great. I had a gyro dinner (made my special way with BBQ sauce and Cheese)..Very tasty, clean, and worth the trip. Also, the hotdogs were great to. Go check them out read more

Ever since I moved closer to Markellas this is frequently a go-to for dinner. Am I craving an all-beef kosher hot dog? Maybe, but maybe I want a pizza puff this evening or a burger and fries. Whatever I can possibly be craving on any given day Markellas is there in case I'm not in the mood to cook. Thank you for years of amazing food that is hot and fresh when I get it from the window! read more

The food was pretty decent but idk how i ended up spending so much money and it didnt come with drinks or fries. The gyro was good, but to be honest, i can't recall ever having a bad gyro. read more

As good as it gets for a fast food joint! I feed my entire family (5 of us) for around $25.00. They have classic special like 2 hotdogs and fries or 2 hamburgers and fries. The food is really good, made to order junk food. The staff/owners are super courteous and friendly. The best in this neck of the woods! read more

OK, I'm changing my opinion on this. Previously, I gave it two stars. I'm upping it to 4 stars. A few friends wanted some "greasy Greek" one afternoon and since it was close, we headed to Markella's. While you still get a "trailer park feel" from the place, they pushed out the food quickly and it was surprisingly good. I had a gyro and while it was a bit greasy, it was much better than I expected. I also got a Chili Tamale and when I got home, my two year old wanted to try it. She ate the entire thing! I think they also switched brands on the pizza puffs because my buddy said it was "the good one" (there are 2 brands that these places buy... one is decent and the other is really good). I went back one other time after that and again, the food came out quick and it was very fresh tasting. Looks like things have turned around at Markella's... I'll be going back! read more
