    Gyros perfection! For a very affordable $7.99 you get a beverage, huge basket of fries and a very generous gyros complete with onions, tomatoes and delicious tzatziki!

    Tom's Carry Out is a decent sized fast food eatery located off of Harlem avenue in Lyons. They have a wide menu of items and a bunch of video gambling machines located in a small dark room off to the side by the bathrooms. In stopping by here I decided to try out the hot dog. The first thing to note was the wait. It took around ten minutes to get two hot dogs and fries. Once I received the hot dogs just looking at them, I knew I wasn't going to be very happy. The hot dog here was served on a hard non poppy seed bun. Excessive amounts of mustard and relish were piled on. The pickle spear used was giant and sour. The sport pepper used on this hot dog was incredibly hot and totally threw off the taste of everything else and will stick in your mouth for hours to come. The signage here indicated that they use Red Hot Chicago hot dogs, but these sure didn't taste like them. It was a skinless frank that had a baloney-like taste with the sausage. Both my friend and I only made it a few bites into these nasty hot dogs. If these weren't bad enough the fries here were even worse. Really nasty examples of fresh cut fries with a bad aftertaste and were so over-fried they crunched. Overall Tom's Carry Out is among the worst fast food eateries I've come across, slow service and horrible food. It should be called "Tom's Throw Out" because that's what happened with most of our awful food. One star for this disaster.

    Half G03. Greek Chicken Dinner, it looked nicer before I started eating it!

Restaurant is decorated nicely and I heard that they have outdoor seating in the summertime so I'll definitely be back during warmer weather! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared, and the service was warm and welcoming. Our server even packed our leftovers for us right at the table, which I think is such a great extra touch. I started with the Avgolemono soup, which was one of the best I've ever had! The portion is large enough to split between two people. Otherwise, it will definitely fill you up. For an appetizer, we ordered the fried zucchini, and it was incredible! Perfectly crispy and full of flavor! For dinner, we had the Pastitio, which was also one of the best we've had, rich and flavorful. We also tried the Shrimp Tagliatelle; while it was well prepared, the parsley flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. Overall, a wonderful meal and experience. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it!

We were looking to take a break from the week and try a new restaurant, and this turned out to be a great choice. We were also pleasantly surprised by the prices. We expected to pay almost double, but everything was very reasonable.

    Food was fresh and authentic! Gyro meat was cooked to perfection, tender and the best in the area…read morehands down! Greek music playing - makes you want to dance! Spot on service and very polite, friendly and fast! The decor is tranquil like your sitting outside at a table enjoying a meal home cooked by YiaYia! The kids menu was perfect even though we didn't order from it. We were there for lunch and the appetizers are enough for two people. The olive oil is so fragrant, the bread is fresh baked and amazing. I wish I would've tried the stuffed pepper soup, but Avgolemono is my favorite. I just wish they had a generous bowl of Youvetzi that was flavored with lamb shank!!! It's my go to Greek comfort food - My YiaYia's was the best! I will have to return to sample their desserts! I hope my favorite is on the menu... Galaktoboureko!

    This is going to be a mixed review because my husband loved it and I thought it was "OK"…read moreThe staff is very pleasant and courteous and the place is very clean. The floor was very slippery around our table and for someone unsure of their step, this made me very nervous. Started with saganaki and lemon soup. My husband thought they were both delicious, unfortunately I thought the cheese was lacking and the soup was not think enough. There were huge pieces of chicken in it though. I had the special - Youvarelakia - which are the herbed meatballs in lemon sauce. The meat was "very herb-y" to the point of almost overwhelming the meat taste. Once again, the sauce was too think for my liking. Husband had the Youvetsi and thought it was delicious. We both brought leftovers home

    Always a wonderful experience! We went for my husband's birthday, and everything was perfect. We…read morehad a dip trio (always order extra pita!!), and lamb souvlaki, gyros, pastitsio, and a special seafood Youvetsi. All yummy, though I found the Youvetsi overly salty, but the underlying grill flavor was divine. I had the gyros, which was huge, crispy, and some of the best I've ever had. Even the tomato was so fresh I'd have thought they picked it just for me. Ended up with banana cream napoleon and bougatsa for dessert. The service was beyond amazing, and food was hot. Only downsides... rather than raising prices they tack on an extra 3% that sneaks in the bill. And the prices were already very high. ($260 before tip). We were also charged $2 more for the dip trio than was on the menu. And while I know it's common these days, it was very noisy. I'd recommend eating outside if the weather allows, if you want to have conversations. We'll still go back though. Just not often for that cost.

The restaurant was very loud, however, and it was hard to hear each other. Usually I enjoy this restaurant, especially the black cod. This time I ordered a special fig and peach salad and added lamb for the protein. The salad was good with the fig and peaches, but the lamb skewer was overdone and grizzly. Even though the meat was not cooked to medium rare, it was tender around the grizzle. I ended up spitting out the pieces I couldn't chew. Not really ladylike, but my teeth just couldn't work through the tough and stringy pieces. This visit was disappointing. The highlight was being with friends. My salad was just meh. I did like the combination of figs and grilled peaches.
