Georges Gyro

Wow… finally found a great gyro nearby… with fresh cut fries to boot. Moist, flavorful and plentiful! Loss of star is due to my request for the tzatziki sauce on the side… but they forgot it altogether. Still good without it. I’ll be back.

The food was delicious and fresh. But I am writing this review to compliment the wonderful service DJ gave us. He was awesome. Very polite, friendly, and courteous. And it was obvious to me that he was genuine because the restaurant is not the type with fake waiters expecting a tip. We did not tip and he still provided fantastic service.

I’m in love with their french fries. I love this resturant. Pretty much anything on the menu is good. I’m soo glad this resturant is in walking distance from me.

If you want to clog your arteries with Chicago style fast foods, go to Georges Gyro. Had a combo Italian beef /​sausage sandwich with chili fries. The meal was spicy and good.

I actually went to the MLK location and I was very impressed. I ordered 3 gyros (I wasn’t sure how big they were going to be so I figured my Wife and I would split the 3^rd) and I was amazed at the size of them. The fries were fresh cut and excellent. Over all, a combo at 8 dollars for a gyro, fries and a drink and $ 5.65 for a single gyro, you cannot go wrong. I will be recommending this place to all of my friends and definitely going back again soon!

My buds and I dropped by after a morning of fishing on the lake. I had George’s Fries and the original gyro. The woman taking my order had a hard time understanding me. That’s the reason for only 4 stars.
The food was great. I’ve eaten a gyro or 2 in my day, most here in the states, and a lot when I was in Corfu Greece back in the 90’s.
Let me tell you, this is THE BEST gyro I have had since I was in Greece. The meat was moist and flavorful, The tzatziki spot on. The only difference between this and the ones from Greece was that in Corfu they cram a couple of fries inside the gyro.
The fries were the BOMB! cheese, tzatziki, jalapenos, meat… WOW!
And the unsweetened iced tea is absolutely great.
And I really like the digital menu, you know what you’re getting, the pictures do not lie.
Like I said, I’d give this 5 stars if it weren’t for the order taker looking at me like I was speaking a foreign language.
I’ll be back for sure.

Wow. We’ve been looking for a place like this for a very long time. Happened upon the other location in North Chicago but it wasn’t on Unilocal.So we went to the Waukegan location. We ordered the big f’ing gyro. It was probably close to a pound of meat. It was incredible. Next time I would probably asked to get it unassembled and order an extra PITA to have another meal later.
we took our food home to eat and wish we probably would have eaten there because the fries would have been nice and crispy. The inside of the restaurant is very cute, diner like and was spotless.
If you’re looking for an awesome gyro then this is the place go.

I just got a standard gyro and fries. For not being into gyros I gotta admit, it actually wasnt that bad. I would definitely come back here sometime!

I was so craving a nice big juicy gyro and thought I would try this place. I could forgive the 10 – 15 minute wait, and I could forgive the backasswards drive through. The problem is that I got the meat but no pita bread. I requested extra sauce and only got the one. The fries were fair at best. I called when I got home and he was nice and apologetic but didn’t offer me another meal, just said I could come and get my pita bread. The meat was pretty good, but nothing without enough sauce and pita bread. Sorry, Georgie, I’m not coming back after that.
Edit: changed 2 stars to 4 because I did return after a while and got the original gyro sandwich. I don’t know if it was because I mentioned the no pita bread incident or just lucky, but I got a delicious gyro overloaded with tasty meat and extra sauce in warm soft pita bread. It was yummy. I will be back!

This is one of the few restaurants around that is extremely clean, has great customer service and really good food. The jumbo burger here is amazing!

Delicious burgers and gyros. home made fries are great. large portions

Best gyro in town, but not limited to just meat carved from a spit. From burgers, dogs, fresh cut fries to the cod dinners, specialty gyros, and philly cheese steaks. Everything is great here and the portions are impressive. Newly remodeled. Brewskis are available if you savor one. The staff is super friendly too. Don’t miss George’s.

I got a traditional gyro sandwich meal. It was served quickly and was pretty standard. Not to die for, but just as good as others nearby. The fries were really fresh.

The chicken gyro is off the chain!!! The chicken is flavorful and it’s HUGE. It was worth the trip while visiting Chicago.

Sometimes racism is hard to detect with the naked eye, but you can always feel it when you are aware of it.
Let me start by saying that I am Hispanic and a kindergarten teacher. I came in for lunch around 11:15am after a meeting, and they were not too busy. Someone who may have been the owner or manager was sitting with someone else discussing business. I noticed that this guy greeted every white person that came in, and he thanked them as they walked out. Pretty loudly, «Thank you, sir!»
I was in there for half an hour. No friendly greeting. I thought, maybe he’ll just say thank you as. I walk out. I noticed he didn’t greet a couple with brown complexion. Figured it was just coincidence. Maybe he’s busy. But again he thanked a white patron as he took his to go food. He was there maybe 8 minutes.
I get up to leave. I clear my tray, make my way to the door, pause as I wait for people to walk by. And I walk out. No thank you, no have a good day. I just felt uncomfortable after I realized that all the white males were being acknowledged. Maybe it was because they were older. Still, it was something that didn’t feel welcoming to me.
The food wasn’t so hot either. Literally. I waited 8 – 10 minutes, and I thought wow it must be made fresh! Nope. My fries were cold to warm at best. My meat was warm and dry in some parts. The bread was soft and the amount of food was good for the price. But this place was more expensive and lesser quality than you could find in Chicago. I think I’ll skip this place next time.

Well I’ve seen this place before and being still relatively new to the Illinois area after years of being away I decided to give it a shot. Honestly I’m super glad I did it definitely made my cheat day dreams come true! I ordered the Texas burger today and seriously…
Fucking awesome burger! Oh the staff is nice as well and they serve booze so… you really can’t go wrong. Great food, good portions (I’m stuffed), and a nice staff. Overall if any of that appeals to you with the option to have a nice cold one on a hot day as an added bonus I suggest you try it out. Last note the women there are pretty cute as well so I mean… come on

The problem with Gyro places is that you never know what you are going to get unless you’ve been there before. They are either really good or downright terrible. This is one of the good ones. In fact, it’s probably one of the best in the area (since Zabes closed). Besides the Gyros, you will not be disappointed no matter what you get here. They have a good burger, delicious italian beefs, and a perfect Chicago dog. If you are in the area and are looking for the usual Chicago fare done well, stop here and you won’t be disappointed.
Oh yea. they also serve beer, which is a rarity for the usual hole-​in-​the-​wall Gyro place. Seriously, you can sit inside on one of their dozen-​or-​so tables, eat a great Gyro, and slop it down with a cold brewski.
The only thing that could be better is the overall atmosphere. It’s a little cold and cramped. The parking lot is dinky (although there is always a spot), and the drive through window is on the passenger side (don’t worry, you can reach). This really isn’t a fault of the owner or staff, the building is a renovated Taco Bell that was in this location for approximately 300 years. Who cares though. the food is great, the folks working there are awesome, and even the other customers in the place are friendly.

Drove by on lunch from work and on my way back decided to go thru drive thru to get lunch. Waited about 5−7min which i wasnt in any hurry so i did not mind. And let me tell you the wait was worth it. This is the best gyro in Lake County, i have had a lot of crappy gyros and i will be coming here more often for my gyro fix. they are HUUUUGE and just when you think you made a dent you put it down it opens up and holy molly theres lot of meat. (see picture) Fries are great, salty and skinny. Perfect for cheese fries, which i did not get and now im kicking myself for. But all in all this will be a frequent lunch destination for myself and my coworkers and even dinner :)

Short and simple review.
good quality food at decent prices. Huge portions and friendly staff. I will be returning often. Small menu but everything great so far.

Pretty decent fast food joint with some HUGE gyros!
