Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more.

A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.

For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

Their daily specials do not come with any fries or drink. I ordered the gyros combo and wasn't surprised by how average it was. There was barely any tzatziki sauce on my gyros but a good hunk of meat.

Been going here for over 10 years. Small place good food and great specials. Fair prices and I've had pretty much everything on the menu. One of my favorites us the steak sandwich with some fries and Frank's hot sauce. .I put that sh*t on everything..Thumbs up big John's
(4)Jim P.
Consistent quality here. Very good gyros, good burgers, polish sausage and sides. Nondescript looking location (tucked inside a small strip mall) but I usually order for take out anyway. They feature daily specials. I just wish they were open Sundays!

Love this place. Closes too early at 9pm but that's the only knock. It's your neighborhood grill that has a lot of character. The food is really good at a bargain price. Always clean and well kept. Fast and friendly service. I go out of my way to get here. My place of choice for a gyro in Mount Prospect.
(5)Karl M.
Your typical fast food joint but these guys don't play. They take your order and deliver piping hot, fresh, and tasty treats. I love the soups. My kids love the hot dogs.

A big bangin' gyro for less than $5 (and just $2.99 on Mondays!). Pretty damn delicious, if I do say so myself. Fries are hot and crispy (could use a little salt), the gyro meat is tender and the portions are generous! Big John's isn't much to look at from the outside or inside, but it's slam packed with not-good-for-you-goodies like the aforementioned gyros, fries, hotdogs and the like. Expect a small soda foundation, complete with styrofoam cups, hard bcked booths and crap TV on in the background. Beyond my delicious gyro, the most entertaining part of my visit was seeing how the staff and some of the customers got roped in to the Maury episode airing during the lunch hour: "I'm My Sister's Baby Daddy." Terrifying.

Awe, yeah! I'm not a big meat eater....but the Gyros here is un-real! And what makes it unreal, other than it being fresh, is the AAAAAMAZING Tziziki sauce. Look, if the tziziki sauce sucks, then my gyro does too because I cannot eat Gyros without the sauce. The tziziki sauce makes it or breaks it for me. And extra sauce! Theirs is tangy & thick & fresh...but it needs to come in larger containers. Fries are yummy. I live right next door to this place. It's difficult not stopping in for a pick up. A Gyros isn't exactly health food.
(5)Martina K.
It's simple: big portions, cheap price, delicious food! Came here for lunch and was full for the rest of the day! By far my favorite place to get gyros
(5)Tyrone S.
Great gyro, I go here any time I'm craving one and don't feel like driving to JK's in Wheeling. I had a steak sandwich here once and was extremely disappointed, but the gyro had never failed to be delicious. The fries are great, super crispy and fried to order, not sitting under heat lamps. The prices are great too!
(4)Suneel B.
A diamond jn the rough awesome gyros with great flavour and not too salty. Very fresh Greek salad with grade a feta
(5)Anthony C.
This place is great! Its cheap! you could feed a family of 4 for 10 bucks. This is why I love going here! The owners are smart as hell! they combine and mix and match their ingredients and come up with amesome combos for cheap, which keeps their menu massive, as well as inexpensive! chicken gyro? no problem! gyro puff? no problem! if I wanted chicken in a hot dog bun cause I was feelin crazy, I'm sure they would do it! Love this place! recommend to all!!
(5)Sonesh S.
Exactly what you would expect from a strip mall gyro joint. Their menu is extensive, yet nothing special. The gyros will ensure your afternoon is spent regretfully.

Under 'new' ownership, Big John's Gyros revamped their menu, adding some interesting items I can't wait to try. For my first visit, I went with the Italian beef sandwich, dipped, with hot peppers and cheese. Great flavor, tasty gravy, and I ended up using a knife and fork. My husband tried the Philly steak sandwich, and was sorely disappointed. He ogled my Italian beef until I had to share. Lots of variety on the menu, they make some "creative" gyros combinations - like the "super gyro sandwich" - made with gyro meat, mushrooms, grilled onions, mozzarella cheese and tzatziki sauce. Lots of fried varieties of side dishes - I'm a sucker for mushrooms, but they have mozzarella sticks and jalapeno poppers as well. Prices are very reasonable, especially if you go for one of the daily specials, which are $2.99 Monday-Thursday.

VERY solid food at Big John's Gyros in Mt Prospect. Had their 99cent hot dog special on Saturday (take out) and it was great. The dog and bun were cooked properly and dressed with everything including 3 or 4 sport peppers and a nice wedge of pickle and a couple slices of ripe tomato. A regular order of fries for an extra $1.69 was enough for 2 people to share. I've heard great things about their gyros and will try them out on the Monday special ($3.95). The guys behind the counter were friendly, competent, and quick. Good food, good job. Definitely check their daily specials.

I'm glad this little place is close by because when I'm craving a gyros, it's nice to not have to drive too far. The tzatziki is AWSOME here which is an important factor when enjoying a gyros. The service is always quick and friendly, most importantly fresh food! The only downside is the fries aren't always cooked well done...I guess if you enjoy golden fries, ask for them well done. Great gyros and grilled chicken!
(4)Alex S.
Great gyro salads! Soup of the day if excellent and cheap as well. Cream of broccoli on Friday.
(4)Jacqueline S.
I had the gyro and I really liked the Tzatziki sauce (which really makes it for me). The price was good and so was every component of the gyro.
(3)Justin R.
Excellent cheap food. Devanco and Chicago Red Hot are the primary brands which is a nice departure from the normal Vienna and Kronos we find everywhere else. The Philly Gyro is an interesting twist on a traditional gyro.
(4)Bethany B.
Best gyro I've had in the NW burbs. The prices are also fantastic. My husband and I got 2 gyros and split a small fries (PLENTY) for less than $12. The guy at the front counter did seem like he wanted to shoot me in the face, though...
(4)Christian W.
Amazing food as always!
(5)D A.
My first review on Yelp...A friend and I went here for Gyros and they were GREAT. The menu was diverse and the food was hot, fresh and fast.. My friend who is picky on Gyros loved the food and really enjoyed the sauce as did I. The fries were also hot and done well. The place isn't huge or glam but if you want GREAT Food at a Very Good Price this is the place to go. I know we will be back. My only thing I would truly change is ditch the Pepsi and get Coke products...

Food is always good it's affordable great specials not fancy but good and affordable

The gyro is perfect--big and saucy--and it's only $2.99 on Mondays. Please keep this place in business forever.
(5)Alexis L.
Hidden Gem! I have been going here since I was in high school. Im super picky about gyros and they hit the spot! You want some good grub? You need to go here.
(5)Lou Z.
Cheap prices. Food is tasty. I got gyros so not sure about other items on menu. Gyro I would give 4 stars
(4)Bill M.
The food is above average, the prices are decent. Good variety. Not a bad spot. The issue with the place is it has zero personality. There's never anyone in there. The owner works the counter and looks a bit depressed. If he asks if you want to add fries and you you say no he seems a bit ticked off. Also, they don't keep very late hours. Not a bad spot overall. Burgers and Gyros are solid entries.
(3)Christina S.
Had a gyro sandwich and some fries it was ok not the best gyro I ever had but not the worst. The fries were good though but I've been to way better restaurants that were hole in the wall joints that were better
(3)Chris K.
Fast, easy, clean looking, good food. Only reason it's not 5 star is they don't offer a unique reason to visit there. They don't really offer a food item I couldn't find elsewhere close by.
(4)Danielle S.
My friend and I were craving a gyro, and I wanted to try somewhere new, so we ended up here! First off, they have a gigantic menu, and everything is cheap! For under $8 I got the gyro combo meal (comes with fries and a drink). If you don't like gyros, no worries. They have all sorts of sandwiches, soups, hot dogs, burgers, salads, and more! They also have daily specials (Monday is gyro day!). I thought the gyro was pretty delicious - a little salty, but still good. The pita and the sauce were also very good. The fries come out piping hot, and are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just how I like 'em! The inside and outside aren't much to brag about. It's a very small place - you can eat in, but it was pretty cold and there are not a lot of seats. Next time I will probably take my good to go. However if you want a cheap, not-so-great-for-you meal, this is a good place to go.
