The Crazy Greek Chicago

I walk by in the evenings and the shop is usually pretty dead but I've been curious how their food is. They have tvs for the menu above the counter, but they were turned off tonight so I had to choose from their point of sales machine. No pictures, and a lot to dig through so I went for a simple sandwich. It was a bit unnerving that they had no music playing in the restaurant either. It seemed like the cook behind the counter was a bit inexperienced, and the man who took my order was maybe coaching him? My gyro was ok. The pita was a bit on the small side, and the meat was a little extra toasty which is to be expected if it's a dead evening. They really loaded it up with meat, almost enough for two sandwiches, and the onions and tomatoes were fresh looking, but they forgot the tzatziki sauce! A genuine tragedy, as a good sauce can make or break a gyro. Other reviews mention the sauce so I assume it was just an honest mistake by a person still in training.

Consistently enjoy the gyros here, big portions, order cheese on the side so the fries don't get soggy, pita is tender and toothsome, I appreciate the little baklava sampler. Typically enough meat to make two smaller wraps, which is convenient if you like to share or spread out your meals. The menu isn't gigantic because they prefer to do a handful of things very well. Will try the burger next time. 😊

Ordered for pick up through clover. Receipt had feta fries in them. They were missing. The food was decent, gyros were crispy, get a feeling that they had been airing out for a while because they were a bit dry (that’s why they were crispy). Soup was good, did not expect fried/grilled? Pieces of chicken to be in it, instead of boiled. Salad that came with the gyro bowl was pretty good. Just sharing my experience as of recent, perhaps just a slow day today. Was really craving those fries 🥲
