This place is in my neighborhood so if I ever need good hangover food it's always been there for me. My favorite item on the menu is the gym shoe. I like to ask for mild sauce on the side for the fries. It's delicious. Their hotdogs aren't bad so if you're in the mood for a Chicago style hot dog it's a safe choice. Their burgers aren't really much to write home about but it will satisfy the craving. The gyro is pretty standard. They also have a lot of other items on the menu. So if you're going there for your friends there is something for everybody. read more

Fast service and a variety of sandwiches. Italian beef and sausages fries or onion rings. Tired get mushrooms. Great price.

Gas station quality food and environment. Now the windows are completely covered up with food photos to hide the inside of the restaurant-it's weird. Neighborhood needs to get rid of sketchy spots like this. read more

My problem was the cold re cooked French fries. Stop being lazy and just cook some fries fresh it does not take that long. If your going to do something at least try to do it correctly. read more

West Side Gyros - Cold re cooked fries - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love it no problem here Excellent food ... I always go there ... me and friends of mine ...

Decent joint. Wings and tenders are decent. Catfish is on point though. Gyros are also pretty good. That's all I've tried so far.

I came in for a quick meal not expecting much, i order a cheeseburger meal and I regret so much, starting with the price menu said 6$ plus tax I ended up paying 9$ . Burger was terrible and I got fries that were left over cold and soggy, and they had ketchup on it already. I'm pretty sure someone returned a order and they gave me those fries. I was in the clock so I didn't bother to going back to that sorry ass place, and let's not talk about their hygiene read more

This is another place my office likes to frequent, but I can do without. The quality is inconsistent and the food isn't worth chancing another bout of upset stomach (read: explosive diarrhea) from improperly stored cucumber yummy sauce (tzatziki) or underdone chicken. So, when it is good, it is satisfying enough. And when it is bad, I have to take a cab home because there's no way the bus will get me to the privacy of my own bathroom in time. read more

I really like this spot. It's close to my house, and the food is above average and the prices are way within reason. With that being said, I have only ordered a few different things. I have had the chicken tenders,which are amazingly huge and made from real chunks of chicken breast. I get sauce on the side, but they'll toss the sauce on them if you would like. On four occasions I have had the 900 calorie artery buster - aka "the gyro cheeseburger". I don't know quite how to explain that experience, but I do have to talk myself out of ordering it each time I go in there (either that or call the paramedics just before I start eating it). I have had and Like the gyros. The fries are included with many items and the food is always prepared quickly but properly and it tastes good. Definitely a good spot for a fast food type menu, but I don't think I would be inclined to drive across town for it, but if in the area and the menu type is what your looking for you wont be disappointed. read more

I live literally a block away and thought I'd give this place a try. When I first walked in, I was taken back by the appearance of this place, but soon found that the food made up for the inside. I tried the double bacon cheeseburger. It was amazing. In addition, the guys behind the counter were friendly. A good place to stop for a gyro or burger for sure. read more

West Side Gyros - Double Bacon Cheeseburger with fries. Amazing. - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is the best late-night/open-most-of-the-time, fast food option in the area. Because of this, I probably order take out once every 1-2 months (when I'm feeling lazy)! I always stick to the gyros. It's cheap, you get huge portions plus a drink, the service is always friendly. Plus the fries are AMAZING! I've had the burger, which is good too but I now go back to the gyro. This isn't gourmet food but definitely some delicious fast food! read more

I had my doubts at first when reading the comments even more when I walked in but The owner and employees were very kind in helping me understand the menu, I ordered and I checked everything was correct and the price was definitely worth it. I don't know why so many people hate this place. read more

Order 2 west side sandwiches over the phone with no onions they told me 10 minutes I'm like ok I'm going to leave in 15 I get there tell them my order 30 minutes later I'm just now seeing them put the bread on the stove ...they act like they have a fucking attitude because they fucked up the order mind you while making my sandwich they put onions in there so I had to explain to them about writing orders down so you can be organized and not go through this again ....I finally get my food I get home open it up and of course you can tell whoever made the sand was pissed off how they drenched it with some fucking sauce and on top of that it was ham and that sorry ass roast beef they serve when the order suppose to be turkey and ham ..I'm forever grateful for anybody making my food always respectful but don't get an attitude with me because you fucked up now what if I didn't care about my life and my military benefits and just went in the back and fucked both of y'all up then I would've been considered crazy. read more

West Side Gyros - Drenched in sauce, he was mad as hell I'm the one mad I spent 20 on 2 of these sloppy wet sandwiches - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Why do people even bother with assessments like "best _____ in the city"? This place is a tasty, welcome treat on the west side. Though it looks like a dive from the street, inside the place is very clean and done up with 50s sign decor. Come on, admit it condo-dwellers of Harrison and Western -- you want to eat at more affordable, clean places like this one. This is a certainly a nice change from Bacci's or White Castle. However, gyros are *not recommended* while driving. read more

I called this establishment to place an order for lunch for my kids. The gentleman that answered the phone was extremely rude. I will never patronize a business that talks to me in the manner the gentleman spoke with me. The food is not even top notch so I refuse to put up with the foolery. NEVER AGAIN read more

Fast, cheap and decent food. The burgers are just ok, but I really like the gyro. The portion sizes are adequate, and for such a small place, you've got a lot of options. There are a few small tables for eating in, and I've never had trouble finding a seat. The previous owner was more personable, but the new owner isn't a terrible guy, just not super friendly. Doesn't keep me from stopping in, since the neighborhood doesn't have a lot of variety. ***Update*** This place has changed hands more times than I can count, and the service has really suffered. I went back for my beloved gyro recently and it is nowhere near as good. Had to take away a couple stars. Bummer. read more

I ordered a large Italian beef from this place off of uber eats and it was completely wrong. I specifically stated that I wanted NO ONIONS OR PEPPERS. Actually, here is my wording verbatim: "Only dipped with cheese. No onions, peppers, etc." When I received my order, it was full of peppers! I called them to let them know the order was wrong and they told me that I didn't say that I did not want peppers. Mind you, the employee I spoke to said this to me after reading my order specifications out loud to me over the phone! She told me that I should have placed "no" in front of everything I didn't want; e.g., no onions, no peppers, etc. So apparently placing the word "no" as the first word in my sentence and proceeding to list the things that "no" was referring to was foolish of me. I clearly need to work on my English skills. After dismissing my concerns, the employee told me to take it up with Uber Eats because it was no longer their problem. Either they are illiterate or just did not read the order thoroughly enough and attempted to give that idiotic reasoning to make sense of their mistake. Will never order from this place again. Extremely rude and careless staff. read more

Been coming to this place on and off for a year , "Because " its close to my place, After how Rude I was treated today. I will not spend another dime at this place read more

This place is about 2 blocks from me so it would be my go to place in the neighborhood. I always order the 3 chicken wing and 3 chicken tender combo. It never disappoints. The portions are huge and the chicken is very flavorful. I also get the chicken nuggets. $5 for 15 nuggets with fries and a pop you absolutely can not beat that on a college budget. I would recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood Fast Affordable Good read more

Good standard gyro at a decent price, but we've gone too many times when their credit machines were down or they were closed during regular hours. As an update to 7/15, I think there is either a new owner or new management and they now take credit! Good basic eats on the fly, very inexpensive, and nice people working there. read more

Great for a quick meal. The items are decently priced and you get a large portion when you order. I ordered the gyro and it easily lasted me like 3 meals. The food itself isn't amazing, but its not bad. Perfect for when you're starving and need a lot to eat. Unfortunately they one gave one pita with the huge box of gyros so make sure you order some extra. Slightly shady area so I wouldn't go here alone at night. But really nice employees inside the restaurant. read more

They don't wear no gloves or they don't were hair nets the man was in his nose he didn't wash his hands the food was cold and undone and nasty and they was looking at me the hole time they made my food and there disrespectful read more

They've changed owners several times in the last few years. The food is just not as good. :(

Since the change in ownership, some things are better and some are worse. I love that they are now open on Sundays and are open until 2am. But prices have increased and the quality of the food has decreased a bit. We call ahead to order and they never remember to include cheese for the fries or extra sauces that we request - even when we ask them as they hand us the bag, they lie and say the extras are in there, and they never are. But when you're craving a gyro and don't want to commute to Greektown, this place definitely satisfies the craving. read more

This is a nice neighborhood burger/dog/gyros joint. The burgers, dogs and gyros are all good, and the greasy pizza puffs are great for hangovers. They've got a lot of daily specials for $4.99 and I've pretty much tried them all. Not bad for the price. They occasionally forget the gyros sauce for takeout orders, so make sure you check your bag before you leave, or else you'll be eating a gyro with whatever you have left in your fridge (ketchup, bbq sauce, relish...). I have yet to figure out when they are open or closed - sometimes I try to order at 10pm and they're already closed... sometimes I drive by at 1am and they're still open... if you're going to go here late for a hot dog craving, call first to make sure they're open. read more

Stay away from this place. The other reviewers are one hundred percent correct. Not only are the owner and employees rude, they are crooks. I ordered a $6.58 meal with fifty nine cent added for sauce. The guy behind the counter told me my order was $8.50. When I questioned the price and requested a receipt, he printed a receipt for $8.00. When I called him a thief, he just stood there. I called the Alderman's office and the state. Unfortunately, Alderman Brookins' office only allows one to leave a message. No one manning the phones. That's a whole different conversation. I left a message. I will continue to call until someone responds. Individuals come into the black community, refuse to respect our economic prowess, and make a conscious effort to cheat us. This can not be tolerated. A couple clandestine visits from a city or state investigator will reveal these thieves for who they are. If they are cheating their customers, isn't it a reasonable assumption they are cheating the city and state as well? read more

This place is only 2 blocks from my house, and I"m kicking myself for not going here sooner. I'm originally from New Orleans and I've been searching all over for some good fried catfish and have been disappointed. Not until yesterday when I ordered a 5 piece catfish dinner from Westside Gyros. The catfish was seasoned and fried perfectly! Large pieces, on top of seasoned fries. Dinner also came with a salad, cole slaw and a drink. All for 10 bucks. I couldn't believe it. I will be back often. read more

You won't see any vegetarian options on the menu, but just ask for a veggie sub. It's pretty damn good. Sandwich, fries, and a drink all for $5 out the door. Really can't be beat. read more

They have great food at great prices but their gyros aren't even close to being the best in the city.

I fux wit them! The catfish is a hit. The chicken wing dinners with mild sauce are bomb, the gyro double cheese burgers are everything!

DON'T EAT HERE!!!!!!!! Okay so pizza puffs are my all time favorite thing to order. Well let me just say this.. worse thing ever. I've ordered from a lot of gyro places and usually get pizza puffs only with fries or onion rings. The only decent thing they have here is the onion rings. I ordered from this place 3 times thinking maybe they were just having a bad day. The first time I ordered the fries were undercooked and nasty couldn't eat them. The pizza puff tasted so nasty I didn't eat it either. Same thing happen the 2nd time I ordered. The last time I had food from here my aunt placed an order for me and got me the hot dog special. And boy that was a mistake. Fries once again were undercooked and hard. The hot dogs were rubbery and tough. They were all wrinkly and nasty. Worst experience ever. I placed the last order on grubhub and when my grandma went to pick it up they told her that the food wasn't ready and made her wait 20 mins. It was awful, I suggest eating from Donald's famous hot dogs, they're the best! read more

Not just fast food fare: new owners and new edition of scrumptious middle-eastern food. Homemade Hummus made by the family is a to-crave for. Chicken and beef kabobs will be your next food addiction. Green Yogurt sauce is a Must have. Standard fare Gyros, Burgers, Dogs and Fries will also have you coming back to this family run small attentive restaurant! read more

I live and work in walking distance. I really can't get enough. If my roommate tells you she's making lunch, what she means is, she is picking up West Side...and that's the way I'd like it to stay. read more

I just gave one star because every time I order from here they never seem to get my order right...i finally have a off day an just trying to relax wit my family so we ordered some food from here... I spent almost $30 on3 meals which would of been ok if they didnt mess all three orders up.... I got out of my comfort zone to go out in the cold to order here because when I called they said they didnt deliver but when I got there their were we deliver signs every where any who... Nun of my food was made right an I'm very disappointed me an my whole family are. read more

Seriously the BEST gyro in the city. NO question about it. Super clean place, great food, and a parking lot (bonus)

I used to be a regular here. Until I bought a groupon and came in to try and use it they gave me an attitude. False advertising to get people to come in using groupons and force you to pay full price. Even if they said it was a mistake and told me I would have understand. But the foul attitude for a loyal customer for 4 plus years is the reason I will never go here again. read more

I ordered out from this place 2x over three days. The first time my fries were not cooked and were very greasy as if they were not drained. The 2nd I ordered from them they did not give me what I had ordered , in fact they gave me an item which was much cheaper then what I paid for. When I called to complain the young girl who answered was very rude and told me there was no mistake and since I wasn't given a receipt they would not correct there mistake. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me is my experience with west side gyro. read more

Revised 2/12 - Never eat here again...the place has changed owners 3 times since the young greek guy who remodelled the place left and the food just gets worse and worse. Food poisoning city! Run! Despite the fear that a 'Do The Right Thing' style race war could break out any second inside my neighborhood gyros-spot (or g-spot), I've learned toaccept this place as OK food in the edible spectrum and a necessary evil. Since I'm eating junk in the first place, who am I to critique?? The new middle eastern menu is a welcome addition to the hurting menu and saves me a much longer trip to find a decent falafel or kefta sandwich. I do miss the former and authentic greek owner and his endless supply of pretty cashier ladies but the new owner is nice and gives samples if you are polite and talk to him like a human being. I don't go there looking for casual atmosphere, hip clientele or gourmet food. I go there because i want something I'll regret eating and swear off for a few months. I'd take this place over white-castle, Bacci, Damenzo's, generic hot-dog place, incarceration themed hot-dog place or K.F.C. any day. read more

clean, good food, and good service. They just added kabobs to their menu!!! The kafta and ck kabobs are amazing! Their dill rice and lentil soup are very flavorful. It's cheap and the portions are good size. Probably the best kabobs I have had in this city yet and I have eaten at Rezas, El souk, Alhambra, and Shokran. Highly recommend it. read more

open late now, till 2am, wish it was till 3am but at least it keeps me from having to go to Greektown after a nite of partying. Burgers are really good. Partial to the chicken sandwiches, will be trying the BBQ chicken soon. read more
