The drinks themselves were absolutely fantastic. The other bartender working with us was super chatty and friendly, sharing great recommendations for other drinks to try. When we casually mentioned that we were celebrating our friend's birthday, he kindly offered us complimentary watermelon shots, which we double-checked and confirmed were also gluten-free. I even peeked at the food menu while we were there and noticed that they clearly list gluten-free labels next to the applicable items. Overall, the bartending staff was phenomenal, and the drinks were top-notch.

We started with the Greek fries and spanakopita, and both were incredibly delicious. My friend ordered the filet, while I had the chicken thigh souvlaki, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The servers were kind and helpful.

Overall (A-) This place is really good and tastes exactly…read morelike it did when I last visited. Great safe bet place for Greek Food. Value (B) It is a bit pricey but not too bad around $35/person for lunch for 2 and an appetizer. They have a small plates menu which might be the lunch menu. Service (A) Excellent friendly and polite service. Got the food out fairly fast. And waitstaff was super nice and respectful. Even packed up the leftovers- did a great job Food (A-) I got the combination plate and it tasted exactly how it did 20 years ago. This is both a positive and a negative. Taste was excellent - especially the lamb, meatballs and sauce over the rice and dolmas. Great portion size also. Will get stuff. Came with potatoes and veggies. On the negative it tasted very heavy. I was expecting it to be "lighter". Not sure I am describing it correctly. I am going to order it again as it's excellent but I think I am eating a ton of butter and or oil. Maybe I am not but something gave it the heavy feel. Also with bread service - I appreciate they provide it but feels very 90s. Thr bread was okay and the butter was the small little packages of butter. So I really do like this place and am being overly critical so I would strongly recommend going for a safe bet Greek place. My recommendations for them 1. Too many options on the menu - need to skinny it down 2. Higher quality bread and butter 3. An actual simple lunch menu. Would have loved a combination plate lunch portion for $16.99 vs a dinner portion at $25.99

Greek salads were fresh and authentic. Grilled calamari was tasty but could have been better plated/ presented possibly on crisp spinach(?) Noticed most plates passing by weren't too well finished. Bread served either wasn't fresh or just very bland. 5 layer carrot cake was very tasty. Baklava though large, was just so-so. Though the room we sat in was only 1/2 full the noise level was disturbing. Needs fabric on walls, cloth drapes, sound baffles. Or carpeted floors. At this price point I did expect more.

We were greeted quickly by the owner and seated promptly. The restaurant is well lit, clean, and warm during these cold months. I ordered an old fashioned and an appletini. They were great. My entrée was the chicken breast pasta. The pasta had a nice doughy taste, so I know they make their pasta fresh daily. Parking is adequate by the Metra line. It is an odd spot, but for sure, it's worth a try. Ignore the entitled posts, as I mentioned. This is a 5 star restaurant. I'll be back.

8/19/26 update: We…read morejust went to Greece recently and wanted to find some authentic souvlakis close by. We came here before but not for the souvlakis. The ambience is okay. I know it's not the restaurant's fault but we had this one noisy kid that was way too loud. I know it's a family atmosphere and all, but these young parents do not know how to discipline their kids. I was annoyed while eating my food. I ordered the pork souvlaki and the classic Chicago gyro pita. The pork souvlaki was decent. The French fries were a lot bigger, pita bread was too chewy, and the pork skewer was not as tender. The classic Chicago gyro pita had lamb and beef gyro. This was still pretty good. I do wish the pita bread for those were less chewy.

Chicken Wings $17 - 8 meaty wings, naked, skin was slightly crispy and caramelized. Salmon Poke Bowl $19 - Simple and straight forward salmon poke bowl. The fries were crispy and delicious. For our birthday celebration, they gave us a yummy brownie and ice cream with a little candle. Reservations can be made on Resy. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

Another great dinner at Foxtail!…read more We had to come back to try more of the menu, and this time we ordered: * Pork belly bruschetta: 5/10. Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. The pork belly, ciabatta, and balsamic were all good individually, but together the flavors just didn't work. It felt mismatched... * Colorado lamb kebab: 10/10. This is one of the more $$ entrées on the menu, but it's absolutely worth it. The portion was generous, the lamb was high quality, and the artichoke pesto paired really well with the rich, gamey flavor. The roasted pearl onions were a great addition too. I would definitely recommend this dish. * Foxtail paella: 8/10 flavorful orzo paella loaded with seafood. Definitely a sharing type of entree! Always a great time at Foxtail with great food and great service!

I needed to update my review because the prices have become quite high. They used to have a little salsa/sauce bar where you could pick your hot sauce, and pickled items like pickles/onions/etc., but now you have to pay PER item and it escalates quickly. Lately a meal is costing me like 26.00 here and for that price I could literally go out to dinner. It makes it hard to justify coming in lately. TO clarify on the sides, pickles are 1.69 plus 2 small hot sauces at .69 each is another 1.38, plus turnips for 1.39 if you choose. So, yes it adds up. And I've never had to pay for salsa or hot sauce at any other restaurant.

Dill rice was good as i remember from years ago, not greasy but flavorful. Pita was not the typical thick, dry pita i am accustomed to getting at mediterranean restaurants but was surprisingly light and soft. Food is reasonably priced and was ready for pick up as i was promised. My family and i enjoyed the food so much we ordered again tonight and got the fessenjan in addition to kebabs and that was very flavorful with tender chicken. I realize they are still working out logistics as they opened just a month and a half but i was not able to access their website and had to view menus off yelp and other sites. Hopefully they will get this working soon so others can enjoy their food. The lady working the front was apologetic about the website not working. She was very nice as was the other man who was helping to get my order ready. My family and i enjoyed the food again and will definitely order again and will try and dine in next time. I'm looking forward to trying their other dishes as i've been impressed by the dishes i've tried so far. Highly recommend!
