    What a difference this restaurant has made to the corner of wolf road. Just as impressive as the new renovation is the menu at the Joynt. All the usual suspects of gyros and platters, but their Athenian gyro really emphasized what kind of a protein powerhouse this place is. When we walked in the Manager came out to greet the party which is always appreciated. The location is clean and modern and highly recommend stopping by.

    These is their 3 meat platter. Comes with Greek potatoes or rice or fries.

    Have gone there twice now. They have a very good menu focusing on Greek Classics. Really enjoyed their food. Their prices are exceptional, and their service is very good. Give them a try. Very casual place.

    Cute restaurant with lovely decor inside. Great place to get Greek food to-go or to sit-down and enjoy. They gyro and salad I ordered were delicious.

    Place is tiny and few tables but it was delicious! First time here so I tried gyros plate with Greek potatoes and side salad that had a thick Greek dressing. All of it was great! Gyros was good, and things had seasoning.

    Friendly, fast and fresh! Some of the best chicken & rice I have ever had. I got the 3 meat sampler with authentic gyro, pork kabob & chicken kabob. It's made for two and they aren't lying, 'cuz now we get it for lunch tomorrow!!! Will be back for many more taste tests of their full menu.

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

Since there was a total of 11 and the seating is first come first serve, we decided to call to see if they had reservations. They did take our name and reserved a table. When we arrived we noticed a table was reserved and we were informed that it was our table. We sat and looked over the menus. When we were ready my 2 boys and I went up to place our order. My one son has major allergies so we spoke to the chef and he came back out to recommend the dishes he can have. It was great that he did so and gave us confidence that my son would be able to eat without worrying too much about the ingredients. I ordered the Shrimp Kalamakia with a side of the Greek Rice. My son with the allergies ordered the Pork Kalamakia with Greek Rice and no pita, my other son ordered the Traditional Pork Gyro with Greek Rice. The sides we ordered: Saganaki Fritters and Spanakopitakia. My son that ordered the Pork Kalamakia devoured it. He said it was tender and juicy and probably could have eaten 4 skewers. My Shrimp Kalamakia was nicely charred and seasoned, I squeezed some lemon and it provided a nice tang over the seasoning. The Lemon rice pilaf was soft and cook just right and was nicely balanced. I had one Saganaki Ball and it was delicious. My son had the Pork Gyros said it was really good and the Tzatziki sauce was creamy and rich with flavors. My in-laws bought the table desserts and I got the Baklava and my wife got Loukoumades (Greek Donuts with Nutella) and both did not disappoint. I really loved the citrus honey syrup in the Baklava. The Loukoumades had a crispy shell and nice a fluffy on the inside and the Nutella amount was perfect. This place is very good and well worth the price in my opinion. I loved the fact that they took the time to make sure my son with allergies was safe.

    We drive past Grill House all the time, it has been in Northbrook for a long time (I just found out…read morethat it's been here for 9 years), however, this was the first time that we ever visited, and I am happy that we finally did! My husband and I wanted a quick and good dinner one Sunday recently, and we picked Grill House after I read some good reviews on Yelp.  Although it's a casual, fast-food-style restaurant, the menu is surprisingly extensive, with a wide variety of healthy Greek dishes. It was definitely helpful to look over their menu online before we visited, because the menu board inside could be a bit overwhelming.  I guess I still looked quite confused when I saw 2 kiosks in front of the ordering counter.  A staff behind the counter offered to help, and I just ordered directly with him.  Later of the evening I discovered that he's the friendly owner Gus. After placing our order at the counter, we were given a table number, and our food was delivered promptly.  I ordered a Chicken Souvlaki Plate ($17.50 at the time, it's now listed online for $18), while my husband ordered a Filet Mignon Souvlaki Plate ($25.50).  Each souvlaki plate included a soup or salad, rice and potato (1 piece), a side of veggies, and pita bread in a paper bag.  It was a generous amount of food! We both chose the lentil soup, which was served piping hot in a nice ceramic bowl with a lid. It was flavorful and comforting. My chicken souvlaki was tender and juicy, never dry, and both the rice and potato were delicious. We were both impressed with the quality and value of the meal. I ordered a lemonade, which is considered a fountain drink ($4.00) and comes with free refills, though I couldn't even finish my first glass. My husband would have ordered a glass of wine if we hadn't had plans afterward, so we were happy to see that Grill House also serves beer and wine for a future visit. The service was another highlight. Everyone was warm and welcoming; a special shout-out to Kevin, who was very attentive and checked in on us several times.  When I was taking photos around the restaurant, the owner Gus greeted me again, which was a nice personal touch. The restaurant itself was bright, clean, and inviting. There's also a pleasant patio for those who prefer to dine outdoors. We will definitely be back to try more dishes from their extensive menu.  I am glad that we finally gave Grill House a try!

The workers were quick to answer questions, take the order and offer water while I waited for my to go order. The food, I think I would do without the ton of salad I got in my bowl next time. I think there was so much salad and not enough rice that the ratio felt off. The lamb I got was really good though. The spicy tzatziki was different but I think I prefer the traditional instead. Next time I'll try the sandwiches and maybe it'll be a better ratio.

Though it may seem unusual to dine next to a gas station, don't let that deter you from visiting this spot. The parking is plentiful, there is minimal cross traffic, and you get a full fast casual experience when you dine inside. In fact, the decor inside this restaurant is a bit nicer than average for a restaurant in this segment and the service is both quick and friendly. The food here was surprisingly good for me. Not only are the portion sizes large but the food is fresh, flavorful, colorful, and has good textures. In particular, the YR fries give a good mix of everything you could want in a dish. The fries are super crispy (even after 10 minutes), the meat is piled on generously, and the onions & green peppers are fresh flavorful. This is a fantastic comfort food for anytime you're craving something savory. The yeero flight is also an excellent way to try out their different meats, all of which are tender and flavorful. This is provided with a generous amount of sauce and condiments. Overall, worth a visit for a delicious meal if you're anywhere in the area. Though there was several similar options in the area, this one stands out for its value and speed.
