    Two dog special
    Dan B.

    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.

    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!

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

I am addicted to dolmades, and I only know one place with better dolmades (in Clarendon at much higher price than grapevine). The homemade pastitsio is very good. I would prefer a slightly modified sauce but still think it is very very good. I certainly do NOT go to a restaurant for bread. But Their Greek style break is very good and excellent for dipping into the lemon (or other) sauces. Prices are very good considering the quality is excellent. The place itself is informal. Clean with an open kitchen (which i like very much prefer). Also very good for takeout. Have not tried many other of their dishes because i love the dolmades and pastitsio so much.

I then tried it and agreed, so I called over the owner to which she said that's impossible that she tasted the food mind you she's probably in her late 70s early 80s. She told me it was our imagination and told me I needed to take it home. This was probably due to her, not wanting to make a scene in her own restaurant. She offered my fiancé bread in exchange for a $20 dish. What an absolute disgrace of a restaurant and a person.

The location is near like a train station. The restaurant seems somewhat clean, but the mood and the restaurant was very weird and unpleasant.

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 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

However, since this Lombard location opened, I think at least a decade ago we've definitely been coming here consistently. Even though I don't put a review of every single time I visit. However, my last review of this place was over four years ago, so I thought it was about time to update this. I still give it a solid four stars because this place is key and king on consistency. If there's one thing you can rely on here is that that same recipe from 10 years ago or 30 years ago is still the same good recipe today. And that is absolutely fantastic. I do believe the portions have gotten slightly smaller over the years and obviously prices have gone up, but this is to be expected. The only downfall of this location is that they never take reservations that if you come during peak hours, you better expect to wait even over and up to an hour. Something else that I've seen really evolved at this place is that when they originally first opened, including the Greektown location, all servers, including bus, boys, etc., were all Greek that has definitely changed now over the years The parking lot here is still very generous however during peak times beware it will be hard to find the parking space and there is no valet. Well, consistency is fantastic. I do wish they had expanded the menu to make lokoumades dessert. It's one of my favorites and they still don't offer it.

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.
