I love the Gyros here. I usually get the Gyros dinner, which comes with a Greek Salad, runs about 9 bucks. Its more food than i can eat in one sitting, i usually have the salad and some fries and some gyros for lunch and have enough to make another sandwich for dinner. The Greek salad is a real Greek salad, its a nice touch that they use whole Kalamata olives in it, instead of some process pitted black canned olives. Dressing for the salad is delicious, to the point i end up eating it with a spoon (i look around to make sure no one is looking first). I plan to make my way though the rest of the menu at some point, but after 3 years every time i walk in this place i can only think of one thing, Must Eat Gyro! Maybe in a couple more years i will be able to move on to another dish.

Gyro dinner comes with double meat and is impossible to eat by one person. More than enough to split with another person. Crisp fries and a good Greek salad.

I've been here once, and ordered carry out. I can vouch for the broasted chicken , and the broasted potato's which were both really good. The rice was decent , the order took a while to cook but it was worth the wait.

I'm addicted to Yorky's Chilli. I order it 2 or 3 times a week for lunch. Most of the people I work with love the food here too, though I do not order anything else here, but the Chilli! Everybody is friendly here and have great attitudes! If you find yourself in Elmhurst/Bensonville area, you cannot go wrong at Yorky's

I already know what you're going to say. A place with the words "fast food" in it doesn't deserve a five star rating. To you, I would say: "You OBVIOUSLY haven't been to Yorky's." If any fast food place is fitting of a 5 star rating, then it's Yorky's. The funniest part about Yorky's is that I'd never really drive past it and want to go there. It's a very unsuspecting, non-descript place. It looks like a local hot dog/burger joint that you'd stop at if you were in the mood to clog your arteries. The old adage "don't judge a book by its cover" applies to this situation. After reading the reviews, I knew I had to try this greek chicken that everyone raved about. It was better than I expected. Let's start with the side dishes. Salad - delicious. Some of the freshest lettuce ever. I don't even know how that's possible or if it even makes sense, but it was crisp and SO green. The dressing was good and reminded me of a sweeter version of the italian dressing from Olive Garden. Rice - I hate rice usually but this rice was good. I know the secret though! They take some of the juice from the Greek Chicken and pour it over the rice to make it super moist and have lots of flavor. Kudos to making a person that normally hates rice wanting to lick the plate. Garlic bread - wasn't really warm or crispy like most garlic bread but it was still pretty good. Probably my least favorite thing on the plate, but still quite enjoyable. Greek Chicken - what the heck does that even mean? Must. Google. It. Must. Cook. It. Every. Night. For Dinner. With the dinner, I got two giant pieces. I was only able to eat one since I devoured some of the other side dishes. The flavoring was nice and the chicken was soooo juicy and tender. One of the other things that was fantastic about Yorky's was the service. The guy at the counter made jokes with us and talked to us like we were old friends. I love that kind of personalized service and makes me feel like my business is truly appreciated. I wish more places would take some tips from Yorky's in the Customer Service area.

Craving a burger & rather than drive to Portillos & deal with the hassle of their lunch rush I tried Yorky's. I was impressed at how many things they have on their menu! In addition to the usual suspects they have broasted chicken (coworkers tell me it's fantastic), Greek Chicken, Rib Tips, Salads, etc. I tried the cheeseburger & onion rings - both very good & the prices were better than Portillos as well. The burger was definitely char-broiled & not really greasy. I'll be going back to try their chicken next!

Great food at great price. Chicken plate is delicious. The potatoes and rice were perfect. Salads were big and fresh. We eat here at least once a week and never disappointed. I highly recommend this place.

Yorky's has been there as long as I can remember. It hasn't been forever, however; a million years ago it was a fried chicken place. At any rate, it has that classic old-school look inside, with dark woodwork and chairs that look like they date to about 1971. Seriously, look at the pattern on the upholstery! But I hope they never change it, it just wouldn't be right. The food here is a great value, big portions for not too much money. I had a hotdog and fries and it was served quickly and hot. Staff was polite and helpful. They'd just opened for the day and the floor was still damp from being mopped but otherwise was spotlessly clean. I'll return soon and give some more menu items a try. Good to have the alternative available on a strip that also includes a Burger King, an Arby's, a Wendy's and a McDonald's all within a short distance.

I have been in the US for 6 months now, and I can't believe this was the first time I ever gave Yorky's a try, being that it's only a block away from me. My feelings are a little mixed when it comes to this restaurant. I have to say that I love the atmosphere of this place! It's pretty tiny, but it's not one of those "looks like every other fast food restaurant" spots. It has it's own homey feel. The menu is extremely big, and it does take awhile to pick something. The staff is unbelievably friendly! The gentleman helping me was great. I ended up going simple and getting a cheeseburger, mozzasticks, and for desert ... strawberry cheesecake. The mozzasticks were great! Very crispy and hot. If you get them, go with some ranch instead of the marinara! The cheeseburger didn't live up to what I was expecting. It was charbroiled and big, I swear the size of my face, but very dry and burnt. The lettuce was soggy and wet, and for being a huge burger, I got half a tomato. Seriously? HALF a tomato? Last time I checked, they weren't that expensive, I am sure they could have splurged and gave me a whole tomato. Maybe I am just crazy. The cheesecake was pretty amazing. Very creamy and delicious! The strawberry syrup kind of drowns out the amazing taste of the actual cheesecake. I would recommend the plain. The whip cream is home made and a great touch! For $2.70 you get quite a big slice too. I won't give up on Yorky's just yet. I believe I just picked the wrong thing on the menu, I will be trying something different next time, and hopefully my star rating will go up!

The best chicken in town. Just moved to the neighborhood about 8 months ago and have been going to Yorky's regularly ever since. The first time I went there I had Greek chicken plate with dark meat. It came with two big pieces of whole chicken leg, garlic bread, rice and salad. That was a great deal! And I had that for like another 4 months. And then one day I felt like fried chicken or something crispy so I ordered the broasted chicken plate. Man that was very good, more flavor than Greek chicken. But don't get me wrong I still really like the Greek chicken too. So I had the broasted chicken for another 3 or 4 months. And last month I tried the polish sandwich (yes a sandwich, dont call it a hot dog because they dont like it) I came on a french bread not a hot dog bun and it was the best polish I've ever had. So I think I'll be eating the polish for another 3 months. ;)

Wowzers, the meat is cooked so well and has such great flavor...first time checking this place out but I would recommend it to everyone within 100 mile radius. And if your not, it's worth the trip

Yorky's is no where near my home. However I often travel nearby for work. I definitely make it a point to stop and order the Chicken Plate. Served with Greek Salad, Rice Pilaf and Garlic Bread. I alway pay extra for a $1 worth of feta cheese. Food portions are generous and leftovers is common. The dressing for the Greek Salad is incredible. It literally makes the entire dish explode with flavor! If you go during lunch time it gets very busy, if you want to avoid a crowd roughly after 3pm is comfortable.

We stopped here for dinner on a snowy Saturday night. This is a Greek-run burger and gyros joint with other menu options as well. There had to be around 15-20 people eating in the place - all men. The parking lot had several City of Elmhurst snow plows lined up in back, plus a fancy Canada Northern ultility vehicle decked out with all sorts of hydraulic hoses and controls of some sort. Inside, it was like a Carhartt working clothes fashion show in progress. Hard-working burly men in thickly layered clothes and flannel eating hearty meals to warm up during their OT shift of clearing snow on the streets. So, of course we joined them. My wife and I ordered a 2-piece Greek chicken platter that came with rice and a salad and cost only $6.99. The kids ordered a mostaccioli platter to share. Let's just say this ain't no ordinary 2-piece chicken dinner like you'd get at KFC. I got a pair of chicken leg quarters, alongside a heaping mound of tasty rice. The kids' mostaccioli also came with a side salad. We thought we'd have it for ourselves, as if our dinner wasn't enough. Well, when the food arrived, all the platters filled up our table that we could not even place all the dishes on it, and had to move a platter to a vacant neighboring table. Both our chicken dishes also came with garlic bread and a Greek salad too, sprinkled with a flavorful and not too oily dressing - just right. The side salad with the mostaccioli dish had a creamy garlic dressing that was downright awesome. I'd gobble it all up if I hadn't already filled up on the 1 piece of chicken and rice that I managed to eat. The kids ate their mostaccioli, but there was so much of it, we could have fed 2 other kids as well. Good thing we got the pasta sauce and meatballs on the side. The sauce had a bizarre taste, as if it had been seasoned with garam masala - a spice mix used in Indian or Moroccan cooking that consists of cinnamon, cumin, cloves and fennel. It just tasted weird in the context of a pasta dish. I don't know what was up with that. It was the only thing we disliked about the place. In the end, we had a ton of leftovers to bring home and enjoy: 2 whole pieces of chicken and a ton of pasta and rice. We could have been well-fed on just splitting a 2-piece chicken dinner between us, plus the salad. Definitely a great amount of food for the money. Friendly and fast service too. I'd recommend the chicken, rice and salad but pass on their pasta sauce.

Broasted Chicken - Best chicken on the planet! (can you tell I LOVE it?!?) If they have to make more, it's definitely worth the wait. The gyros are good too as is the chicken ke-bob plate. Skirt steak sandwich is excellent but pass on the pasta (blech!). The appetizers are standard, fried to order so you get them hot and not soaked with grease. No shakes, but the baklava makes up for it!

Joe G.
Pretty big menu to choose from. You can't beat the Gyro Dinner plate, order an extra Pita and it's dinner for two! The Greek and Julienne salads are HUGE! The Chicken dinner with rice and potatoes was the only thing I ordered for a long time, mainly because their chicken is always moist and not dry - just how I like it. The staff is always quick and consistent with service. The food is inexpensive, delicious and the portions will make you want to come back.

I go here at least once every two weeks for lunch. They have a pretty expansive menu, but to be honest I've only ever ordered the 2 piece 1/4 greek chicken with greek potatoes instead of the rice. It is delicious. If you disagree, I will fight you. A significant part of my review is biased towards the quantity. I tend to be more willing to cede quality to quantity when comparing to the price. If I were a smarter person, I would have an actual formula. Roughly my brain works with 2 parts quantity, 1 part quality, weighed over the price. Yorky's 1/4 greek chicken meal is delicious enough AND with large enough portions AND at a low enough price that I practically J in my P plugging those factors into my mental calculations. To give you an idea of the portions, think of a baby on a platter. Now take away the baby you sick bastard, we aren't eating the baby. But that platter is about the size of what they serve your food on. This place is exactly what a local food joint should be like. It's not necessarily worth going out of your way to try, but if you are in the area, work, or live nearby, you will be rewarded with large portions of delicious food for a cheap price. TL;DR Money little, Food much. Don't like? Fist.

I love this place! My favs are the chicken breast plate (but I get the legs) and their gyros plate. The gryos are huge! There's no one else as good as this place and I've tried many. The staff is great too.

The exterior left much to the imagination, but as of late, it's getting a huge makeover and it's understandably so. This local spot in Elmhurst is always busy and not just bc of the location, but the food is awesome and the staff is extremely friendly! Yorky's could possibly have the best Gyro in Chicagoland. What seems like nearly two pounds of tender, juicy lamb on every sandwich. This Gyro has amazing flavor from the meat all the way down to the pita. Never ordered a Gyro that came with tzatziki on the side, but it's bc there just isn't enough room for it on the sandwich. This Gyro is so damn good, it makes it very hard to try other items on the menu. If your in Elmhurst and have a chance, stop by Yorkys for a Gyro, you will not be disappointed.

Margaret B.
I have dreams about chicken sandwiches like the one I had at Yorky's today. It's a good size, nicely marinated, perfectly grilled. Mm mm, I look forward to the next thing I can try. The seasoned fries are out of this world, too. Crinkled, thick, crispy outside, creamy inside. OMG, these fries are good. Why not 5 stars? I'm a Sox fan; they had the Cubs game on when I was there. ;-D Seriously, I want to try a few more meals before adjusting my rating.

Michelle B.
The cashier & staff are always super friendly, my favorite is their grilled chicken, with potatoes, rice garlic bread. I craved this while pregnant especially the rice. It's such big portions I can split this with my 4 year old & there is plenty for both of us. plus it comes with a simple side salad. We've had a handful of their other menu items as well everthings pretty good. their garlic bread doesnt have much flavor to it & my hubby didnt like their burgers. however those are our only real complaints.

Jeff C.
Self-proclaimed best boasted chicken in town. They may be right, but I wouldn't know; I ordered a hot dog. And, it was a pretty good hot dog. So far I'd say only second to Portillo's for "in Elmhurst" options. The fries were the good crinkle-cut kind. My son ordered the gyros. He gave them a solid 7 on a scale of 1-10. By the way, they also have some funky ketchup. Not sure what the deal is with that?! Anyway, this place has been here as long as I can remember, and that's well over 20 years, so they must be doing something right. As of this writing there are ninety-six restaurants in Elmhurst. I plan on eating at, and reviewing, every one. Follow me on Yelp!

I have eaten half their menu and gave not had an item I did. It like. They are closed for remodeling / construction now. Can't wait for this place to pen up again. Juicy chicken sandwitch, great tasting Polish, and good gyros. Salads are ok but I'm not a salad guy. Their dinner specials are Huge! Comfy seats and quiet. Keep up the great work.

Greg Z.
Fantastic Gyros. I think I visited all places that serve within 10 miles or Yorky's. This one ranks best for me but a few adjustments are needed. Plenty of meat, proper slice size, grilled pita. The only think is you NEED to remember to add extra sauce. I just can't see how one side (2oz) is enough for anyone. Be sure to get 2 sides given how much meat they give you. Crispy edges on the meat and you can request extra crispy.

Natalie M.
Per reading the reviews, I decided to try the chicken plate. Simple. Chicken breast, potatoes, rice, salad, and garlic bread. As I waited for my food, they called my number and I go to pick up this CRAZY large plate. hah. It must have been maybe 15 inches long. Overhearing another customer, he mentioned he drove from Midway-airport to get this food. The chicken, fantastically seasoned and the rice were phenomenal. I loved the rice (I wanted more). They give you a ton of salad which is mostly iceburg lettuce with italian dressing. The potatoes are also well seasoned. I didn't eat the whole thing and saved it for later. It still tasted great! Staff were SUPER friendly. I loved this place and am glad I tried it out!

Great food, great customer service, and very generous portions. My father who is now retired worked in the area and recommended everyone in the family this place. He says the company he worked at everyone loved Yorky's and would order often from there. Never a bad experience. Would definitely recommend it. We especially like the kabob dinners.

Broasted. Broasted. Broasted. I love Yorky's broasted chicken. The chicken with rice pilaf and garlic bread with some hot sauce. Excellent combination!! I dont even remember trying anything else here. I think I may have had a gyro or chicken gyro a couple years ago. I come here for the broasted chicken. I can find it anywhere near where I live. Luckily, I work in the area Yorky's is in. Mmmmmm mmmmm delicious. The service is good too. Family owned. They have a tv, so it is a great place for lunch. It is under construction right now, but it is still open for business. I cannot wait to eat my broasted chicken today. I ordered a 12pc to have some for the next 2 meals or possibly even share (yeah right!) Haha

Rhiannon P.
Wow! Fantastic chicken, addicting potatoes, refreshing salad, yummy rice and homestyle garlic bread. This isn't a fancy place. I think about 2/3 of the people that came in while I was eating there were getting takeout. There was definitely a steady stream of customers. The guy at the counter was very nice, and everyone working there seemed quite friendly and happy. Gave me a good feeling. I ate alone and felt totally comfortable--not every place is good for that. I had the chicken and rice as leftovers two days in a row, so I got three solid meals out of the Greek chicken dinner I ordered (take note: I'm a smaller person) It came with two pieces of YUMMY chicken (not dry, with flavorful skin that was just the right degree of crisp), plenty of rice, a small refreshing (if iceberg-y) salad (I saw someone on Yelp ordered feta cheese on their salad, so I did the same; a LOT of feta for $1.50 extra), garlic bread (made with soft french bread, a very home-style, but good, take on garlic bread), and one potato. How I wish it came with more than one potato. Next time I will see if I can get a side of those potatoes. It was SO GOOD! I will definitely be back here when I'm in the Chicago area.

Absolutely terrible customer service this morning. We ordered last night, and it was pleasant. After having a great experience last night, we figured we'd order again, and it was a HUGE mistake. We called exactly at 10:00AM this morning, we placed our order and they said 30 minutes. I was fine with that. My finacee gets there at 10:30, and she didn't leave until 11AM. 30 minutes longer than necessary. She asked if she could have some type of compensation for her having to wait. All the man could says was "Sorry, we don't do that". "Sorry, we had to wait for the soup". Well then maybe next time you should tell your customers you need an hour to make the damn soup, not like it should've been ready before you opened or anything. It's too bad, because the food is great. But if they're not willing to lean with their customers, they don't deserve my money. The ONLY reason for the second star was because of how well we were treated last night. They won't be getting my money again. Had it went as well today as it did last night, I would have been a frequent. Their loss.

Robert G.
I was looking for a good place for dinner, when Yelp suggested Yorky's for me. We were close by and I didn't really feel like putting dinner together tonight, so an old-fashioned Greek-ish fast food place sounded like a plan. I grabbed a chicken plate. It was nicely seasoned, though a tad dry. The boiled potatoes were very well seasoned, which is good seeing as I really don't like boiled potatoes. The garlic bread side was good enough, but the side salad was drowned in Italian dressing. Somehow the lettuce came through still crispy. On the bright side, they have a nice, sweet BBQ sauce to alleviate any dryness you might encounter. My wife's fries were likewise good diner fare. Nothing here struck me as exceptional, but for $10 / person it wasn't so bad.

Niko B.
Now I get it why this place is so highly rated. As soon as I pulled into parking lot and saw number of cabs parked, I figured it is as advertised: cheap, greasy, nice tasting food served in not so presentable setting. Seeing how crammed place is, I've switched my order from dine-in to carry-out - even though it was hectic, guy giving out orders & cooks handled the switch promptly. Since one wall is completely mirrored, looking from outside you may get impression that there are more seats than there really are... just keep that in mind. I would advise you to do carryout anyway - especially if it's lunch time. I was there for gyro - if you are going for the same thing get gyro plate ($9.99). You'll get enough meet, fries and salad to easily make 3+ gyros at home. I've read my fair share of Yelp reviews that boast - huge portions / can feed 2 people easily - this time it is really true. Next time I'll definitely ask if they can sell me 2 extra flatbreads; would be funny to do a gyro day where I can have a gyro for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Greek Chicken and potatoes, YUMMY. Chili, YUMMY Greek Salad, YUMMY Obviously the menu is a little more than your local fast food place. The staff is really nice and seem to enjoy being there. I can understand- I enjoy it there too! The price in great and their portions are insane! I always split my meals into 2. Especially their gyro dinner! mmmmmmmmmm, I should stop there for lunch tomorrow.

We live on the road, 260 nights a year across the USA. I think we just found our new favorite place in the USA for quality, value, price, portion. This place is a solid 5 to us. We live in AZ so we plugged in this location on the GPS and will seek it out anytime we are within half an hour of this place. We'll go back again tomorrow while we're still in town. Huge portions, great people, excellent food, GREAT prices unlike what Tonk K had to say in his review. I can find no fault with this place. Maybe I wouldn't take a girl here on the first date, maybe, but surely on the 2nd date!

Im reviewing this place again. I decided to try it out and see if the quality improved. It didnt. The hot dogs are well below average. The dog itself is somewhat mushy, the buns are cheap and they didnt put any relish on. The greek chicken, its fair. They are charging the price for a chicken breast and its bone in with fat. The rice..... its rice.... with oil and a smidge of seasoning. Nothing at all special. The greek potatoes are fair. Somewhat tasteless and not the best texture. This is average food that is overpriced by about 20%. I cant even begin to understand why or HOW someone could give this place 5 stars. Im guessing these are the people that have their wedding reception at Denny's.

Came here on Sunday after visiting our friends church. Ordered the 1/2 grilled chicken plate with rice and salad. Also got a pizza puff. The pizza puff was something that our Chicago friends raved about so expectations were pretty high. Verdict: not bad... It tasted good and I liked the crunchy texture. I just expected a lot so I wasn't blown away. The grilled chicken was really good though. Really juicy and tender chicken. Tasty rice pilaf and fresh salad.

I took my youngest son (23) out tonight for a complete gyros experience . We both ordered the gyros sandwich with fries and soda. We both have a special place for a gyros just around the corner at home. But I have to tell you, Yorkys puts that place to shame. They shave the pit from top to bottom, this way you get several hunks of meat, were back home, it's bits n pieces that are re warmed on the grill. They serve the sandwich in a paper wrap, it look like a 3" diameter sick of electrical pipe. It was huge! The other nice value, they treat their customers as if they were family. I saw an older couple leaving as we walked in, and one of the staff carried out this large container, must have been broasted chicken to their car. My next visit will be the chicken. Any ways, good food, large portions, and a nice staff.

Yorky's Fast Food is a small fast food eatery located off of York Road in Elmhurst. They have a wide and diverse menu of food choices available to try out. In visiting Yorky's I decided to try the hot dog with fries. The hot dog I received came on a regular non-poppy seed bun. The hot dog itself is a skinless dog that is longer than most Chicago style hot dogs. It came with a somewhat thin pickle slice, some thick tomato slices and no sign of celery salt. The application of mustard and relish on this hot dog was a bit thicker than most places apply it and results in a slightly soggy bun. The onions were well applied and the peppers weren't too hot and added a nice flavor. The fries that came with this hot dog were the thickest crinkle cut fries I can recall laying my eyes upon. They were crispy on the outside, not too salty but not too flavorful either. The potato paste on the inside of the fries was a bit bland which considering the lack of salt led to some unimpressive french fries. Needless to say I tried a few and threw out of the rest of them. Overall Yorky's fast food is about average for a Chicago style fast food eatery serving hot dogs. I'd say that it's worth stopping at if you happen to be nearby but not at all worth going out of your way for. Three stars for Yorky's.

Fast? Yes. Fast Food? This ain't your average McDonald's. The staff are all very nice and eager to please. The food is delicious and you can even find healthy options. Take the greek chicken platter with potatoes and salad. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the potatoes taste like they've been cooking for days. My preferred meal is the carb-tastic Broasted Chicken (dark meat, natch) with a side of rice pilaf (rice with the sauce from the Greek Chicken) and a piece of garlic bread. Sure, I'll be on the elliptical for 4 hours to burn it off, but it soooo worth it. Comfort food at its best!

a $10 lunch is a meal for 2. go for the chicken breast plate, fried chicken, gyros salad! Kabobs, soup, this place is worth it! Most the dinner plates come with rice, potato, bread that is kinda buttered and a lil garlic-y but def no over powering. and salad with an addicting vinaigrette Greek Owned always a plus. do be warned the lunch rush hits promptly at 11:45am, by 12-12:30 it may be hard to find a seat. This place is all about a hearty home cooked meal ! it's truly greasy comfort food. they have all the standards like hot dogs and hamburgers but you're better off getting that stuff @ Scooby's just north of here on Grand ave. why not 5 stars? because it is still fast food. actually it is REALLY FAST food with speedy service..., but i cannot afford $10 lunches everyday.

I love the Gyros here. I usually get the Gyros dinner, which comes with a Greek Salad, runs about 9 bucks. Its more food than i can eat in one sitting, i usually have the salad and some fries and some gyros for lunch and have enough to make another sandwich for dinner. The Greek salad is a real Greek salad, its a nice touch that they use whole Kalamata olives in it, instead of some process pitted black canned olives. Dressing for the salad is delicious, to the point i end up eating it with a spoon (i look around to make sure no one is looking first). I plan to make my way though the rest of the menu at some point, but after 3 years every time i walk in this place i can only think of one thing, Must Eat Gyro! Maybe in a couple more years i will be able to move on to another dish.

Gyro dinner comes with double meat and is impossible to eat by one person. More than enough to split with another person. Crisp fries and a good Greek salad.

I've been here once, and ordered carry out. I can vouch for the broasted chicken , and the broasted potato's which were both really good. The rice was decent , the order took a while to cook but it was worth the wait.

I'm addicted to Yorky's Chilli. I order it 2 or 3 times a week for lunch. Most of the people I work with love the food here too, though I do not order anything else here, but the Chilli! Everybody is friendly here and have great attitudes! If you find yourself in Elmhurst/Bensonville area, you cannot go wrong at Yorky's

I already know what you're going to say. A place with the words "fast food" in it doesn't deserve a five star rating. To you, I would say: "You OBVIOUSLY haven't been to Yorky's." If any fast food place is fitting of a 5 star rating, then it's Yorky's. The funniest part about Yorky's is that I'd never really drive past it and want to go there. It's a very unsuspecting, non-descript place. It looks like a local hot dog/burger joint that you'd stop at if you were in the mood to clog your arteries. The old adage "don't judge a book by its cover" applies to this situation. After reading the reviews, I knew I had to try this greek chicken that everyone raved about. It was better than I expected. Let's start with the side dishes. Salad - delicious. Some of the freshest lettuce ever. I don't even know how that's possible or if it even makes sense, but it was crisp and SO green. The dressing was good and reminded me of a sweeter version of the italian dressing from Olive Garden. Rice - I hate rice usually but this rice was good. I know the secret though! They take some of the juice from the Greek Chicken and pour it over the rice to make it super moist and have lots of flavor. Kudos to making a person that normally hates rice wanting to lick the plate. Garlic bread - wasn't really warm or crispy like most garlic bread but it was still pretty good. Probably my least favorite thing on the plate, but still quite enjoyable. Greek Chicken - what the heck does that even mean? Must. Google. It. Must. Cook. It. Every. Night. For Dinner. With the dinner, I got two giant pieces. I was only able to eat one since I devoured some of the other side dishes. The flavoring was nice and the chicken was soooo juicy and tender. One of the other things that was fantastic about Yorky's was the service. The guy at the counter made jokes with us and talked to us like we were old friends. I love that kind of personalized service and makes me feel like my business is truly appreciated. I wish more places would take some tips from Yorky's in the Customer Service area.

Craving a burger & rather than drive to Portillos & deal with the hassle of their lunch rush I tried Yorky's. I was impressed at how many things they have on their menu! In addition to the usual suspects they have broasted chicken (coworkers tell me it's fantastic), Greek Chicken, Rib Tips, Salads, etc. I tried the cheeseburger & onion rings - both very good & the prices were better than Portillos as well. The burger was definitely char-broiled & not really greasy. I'll be going back to try their chicken next!

Best chicken in town . Also their greek potatoes are very yummy. Great little fast food restaurant
(5)Louis P.
Great food at great price. Chicken plate is delicious. The potatoes and rice were perfect. Salads were big and fresh. We eat here at least once a week and never disappointed. I highly recommend this place.

Yorky's has been there as long as I can remember. It hasn't been forever, however; a million years ago it was a fried chicken place. At any rate, it has that classic old-school look inside, with dark woodwork and chairs that look like they date to about 1971. Seriously, look at the pattern on the upholstery! But I hope they never change it, it just wouldn't be right. The food here is a great value, big portions for not too much money. I had a hotdog and fries and it was served quickly and hot. Staff was polite and helpful. They'd just opened for the day and the floor was still damp from being mopped but otherwise was spotlessly clean. I'll return soon and give some more menu items a try. Good to have the alternative available on a strip that also includes a Burger King, an Arby's, a Wendy's and a McDonald's all within a short distance.

I have been in the US for 6 months now, and I can't believe this was the first time I ever gave Yorky's a try, being that it's only a block away from me. My feelings are a little mixed when it comes to this restaurant. I have to say that I love the atmosphere of this place! It's pretty tiny, but it's not one of those "looks like every other fast food restaurant" spots. It has it's own homey feel. The menu is extremely big, and it does take awhile to pick something. The staff is unbelievably friendly! The gentleman helping me was great. I ended up going simple and getting a cheeseburger, mozzasticks, and for desert ... strawberry cheesecake. The mozzasticks were great! Very crispy and hot. If you get them, go with some ranch instead of the marinara! The cheeseburger didn't live up to what I was expecting. It was charbroiled and big, I swear the size of my face, but very dry and burnt. The lettuce was soggy and wet, and for being a huge burger, I got half a tomato. Seriously? HALF a tomato? Last time I checked, they weren't that expensive, I am sure they could have splurged and gave me a whole tomato. Maybe I am just crazy. The cheesecake was pretty amazing. Very creamy and delicious! The strawberry syrup kind of drowns out the amazing taste of the actual cheesecake. I would recommend the plain. The whip cream is home made and a great touch! For $2.70 you get quite a big slice too. I won't give up on Yorky's just yet. I believe I just picked the wrong thing on the menu, I will be trying something different next time, and hopefully my star rating will go up!

The best chicken in town. Just moved to the neighborhood about 8 months ago and have been going to Yorky's regularly ever since. The first time I went there I had Greek chicken plate with dark meat. It came with two big pieces of whole chicken leg, garlic bread, rice and salad. That was a great deal! And I had that for like another 4 months. And then one day I felt like fried chicken or something crispy so I ordered the broasted chicken plate. Man that was very good, more flavor than Greek chicken. But don't get me wrong I still really like the Greek chicken too. So I had the broasted chicken for another 3 or 4 months. And last month I tried the polish sandwich (yes a sandwich, dont call it a hot dog because they dont like it) I came on a french bread not a hot dog bun and it was the best polish I've ever had. So I think I'll be eating the polish for another 3 months. ;)
(5)Jeff M.
Wowzers, the meat is cooked so well and has such great flavor...first time checking this place out but I would recommend it to everyone within 100 mile radius. And if your not, it's worth the trip
(5)Andres D.
Yorky's is no where near my home. However I often travel nearby for work. I definitely make it a point to stop and order the Chicken Plate. Served with Greek Salad, Rice Pilaf and Garlic Bread. I alway pay extra for a $1 worth of feta cheese. Food portions are generous and leftovers is common. The dressing for the Greek Salad is incredible. It literally makes the entire dish explode with flavor! If you go during lunch time it gets very busy, if you want to avoid a crowd roughly after 3pm is comfortable.

We stopped here for dinner on a snowy Saturday night. This is a Greek-run burger and gyros joint with other menu options as well. There had to be around 15-20 people eating in the place - all men. The parking lot had several City of Elmhurst snow plows lined up in back, plus a fancy Canada Northern ultility vehicle decked out with all sorts of hydraulic hoses and controls of some sort. Inside, it was like a Carhartt working clothes fashion show in progress. Hard-working burly men in thickly layered clothes and flannel eating hearty meals to warm up during their OT shift of clearing snow on the streets. So, of course we joined them. My wife and I ordered a 2-piece Greek chicken platter that came with rice and a salad and cost only $6.99. The kids ordered a mostaccioli platter to share. Let's just say this ain't no ordinary 2-piece chicken dinner like you'd get at KFC. I got a pair of chicken leg quarters, alongside a heaping mound of tasty rice. The kids' mostaccioli also came with a side salad. We thought we'd have it for ourselves, as if our dinner wasn't enough. Well, when the food arrived, all the platters filled up our table that we could not even place all the dishes on it, and had to move a platter to a vacant neighboring table. Both our chicken dishes also came with garlic bread and a Greek salad too, sprinkled with a flavorful and not too oily dressing - just right. The side salad with the mostaccioli dish had a creamy garlic dressing that was downright awesome. I'd gobble it all up if I hadn't already filled up on the 1 piece of chicken and rice that I managed to eat. The kids ate their mostaccioli, but there was so much of it, we could have fed 2 other kids as well. Good thing we got the pasta sauce and meatballs on the side. The sauce had a bizarre taste, as if it had been seasoned with garam masala - a spice mix used in Indian or Moroccan cooking that consists of cinnamon, cumin, cloves and fennel. It just tasted weird in the context of a pasta dish. I don't know what was up with that. It was the only thing we disliked about the place. In the end, we had a ton of leftovers to bring home and enjoy: 2 whole pieces of chicken and a ton of pasta and rice. We could have been well-fed on just splitting a 2-piece chicken dinner between us, plus the salad. Definitely a great amount of food for the money. Friendly and fast service too. I'd recommend the chicken, rice and salad but pass on their pasta sauce.
(4)C K.
Broasted Chicken - Best chicken on the planet! (can you tell I LOVE it?!?) If they have to make more, it's definitely worth the wait. The gyros are good too as is the chicken ke-bob plate. Skirt steak sandwich is excellent but pass on the pasta (blech!). The appetizers are standard, fried to order so you get them hot and not soaked with grease. No shakes, but the baklava makes up for it!
(4)Joe G.
Pretty big menu to choose from. You can't beat the Gyro Dinner plate, order an extra Pita and it's dinner for two! The Greek and Julienne salads are HUGE! The Chicken dinner with rice and potatoes was the only thing I ordered for a long time, mainly because their chicken is always moist and not dry - just how I like it. The staff is always quick and consistent with service. The food is inexpensive, delicious and the portions will make you want to come back.
(4)Jobin T.
Loved the chicken breast dinner. And also the service is really great. Definitely one of my favorite spots to go to.
(5)Tim P.
I go here at least once every two weeks for lunch. They have a pretty expansive menu, but to be honest I've only ever ordered the 2 piece 1/4 greek chicken with greek potatoes instead of the rice. It is delicious. If you disagree, I will fight you. A significant part of my review is biased towards the quantity. I tend to be more willing to cede quality to quantity when comparing to the price. If I were a smarter person, I would have an actual formula. Roughly my brain works with 2 parts quantity, 1 part quality, weighed over the price. Yorky's 1/4 greek chicken meal is delicious enough AND with large enough portions AND at a low enough price that I practically J in my P plugging those factors into my mental calculations. To give you an idea of the portions, think of a baby on a platter. Now take away the baby you sick bastard, we aren't eating the baby. But that platter is about the size of what they serve your food on. This place is exactly what a local food joint should be like. It's not necessarily worth going out of your way to try, but if you are in the area, work, or live nearby, you will be rewarded with large portions of delicious food for a cheap price. TL;DR Money little, Food much. Don't like? Fist.
(5)Ima G.
I love this place! My favs are the chicken breast plate (but I get the legs) and their gyros plate. The gryos are huge! There's no one else as good as this place and I've tried many. The staff is great too.
(5)Brian P.
The exterior left much to the imagination, but as of late, it's getting a huge makeover and it's understandably so. This local spot in Elmhurst is always busy and not just bc of the location, but the food is awesome and the staff is extremely friendly! Yorky's could possibly have the best Gyro in Chicagoland. What seems like nearly two pounds of tender, juicy lamb on every sandwich. This Gyro has amazing flavor from the meat all the way down to the pita. Never ordered a Gyro that came with tzatziki on the side, but it's bc there just isn't enough room for it on the sandwich. This Gyro is so damn good, it makes it very hard to try other items on the menu. If your in Elmhurst and have a chance, stop by Yorkys for a Gyro, you will not be disappointed.
(5)Margaret B.
I have dreams about chicken sandwiches like the one I had at Yorky's today. It's a good size, nicely marinated, perfectly grilled. Mm mm, I look forward to the next thing I can try. The seasoned fries are out of this world, too. Crinkled, thick, crispy outside, creamy inside. OMG, these fries are good. Why not 5 stars? I'm a Sox fan; they had the Cubs game on when I was there. ;-D Seriously, I want to try a few more meals before adjusting my rating.
(4)Michelle B.
The cashier & staff are always super friendly, my favorite is their grilled chicken, with potatoes, rice garlic bread. I craved this while pregnant especially the rice. It's such big portions I can split this with my 4 year old & there is plenty for both of us. plus it comes with a simple side salad. We've had a handful of their other menu items as well everthings pretty good. their garlic bread doesnt have much flavor to it & my hubby didnt like their burgers. however those are our only real complaints.
(4)Jeff C.
Self-proclaimed best boasted chicken in town. They may be right, but I wouldn't know; I ordered a hot dog. And, it was a pretty good hot dog. So far I'd say only second to Portillo's for "in Elmhurst" options. The fries were the good crinkle-cut kind. My son ordered the gyros. He gave them a solid 7 on a scale of 1-10. By the way, they also have some funky ketchup. Not sure what the deal is with that?! Anyway, this place has been here as long as I can remember, and that's well over 20 years, so they must be doing something right. As of this writing there are ninety-six restaurants in Elmhurst. I plan on eating at, and reviewing, every one. Follow me on Yelp!
(3)Adam T.
I have eaten half their menu and gave not had an item I did. It like. They are closed for remodeling / construction now. Can't wait for this place to pen up again. Juicy chicken sandwitch, great tasting Polish, and good gyros. Salads are ok but I'm not a salad guy. Their dinner specials are Huge! Comfy seats and quiet. Keep up the great work.
(5)Greg Z.
Fantastic Gyros. I think I visited all places that serve within 10 miles or Yorky's. This one ranks best for me but a few adjustments are needed. Plenty of meat, proper slice size, grilled pita. The only think is you NEED to remember to add extra sauce. I just can't see how one side (2oz) is enough for anyone. Be sure to get 2 sides given how much meat they give you. Crispy edges on the meat and you can request extra crispy.
(4)Natalie M.
Per reading the reviews, I decided to try the chicken plate. Simple. Chicken breast, potatoes, rice, salad, and garlic bread. As I waited for my food, they called my number and I go to pick up this CRAZY large plate. hah. It must have been maybe 15 inches long. Overhearing another customer, he mentioned he drove from Midway-airport to get this food. The chicken, fantastically seasoned and the rice were phenomenal. I loved the rice (I wanted more). They give you a ton of salad which is mostly iceburg lettuce with italian dressing. The potatoes are also well seasoned. I didn't eat the whole thing and saved it for later. It still tasted great! Staff were SUPER friendly. I loved this place and am glad I tried it out!
(5)Oli P.
Great food, great customer service, and very generous portions. My father who is now retired worked in the area and recommended everyone in the family this place. He says the company he worked at everyone loved Yorky's and would order often from there. Never a bad experience. Would definitely recommend it. We especially like the kabob dinners.
(5)Silk W.
Broasted. Broasted. Broasted. I love Yorky's broasted chicken. The chicken with rice pilaf and garlic bread with some hot sauce. Excellent combination!! I dont even remember trying anything else here. I think I may have had a gyro or chicken gyro a couple years ago. I come here for the broasted chicken. I can find it anywhere near where I live. Luckily, I work in the area Yorky's is in. Mmmmmm mmmmm delicious. The service is good too. Family owned. They have a tv, so it is a great place for lunch. It is under construction right now, but it is still open for business. I cannot wait to eat my broasted chicken today. I ordered a 12pc to have some for the next 2 meals or possibly even share (yeah right!) Haha
(5)Rhiannon P.
Wow! Fantastic chicken, addicting potatoes, refreshing salad, yummy rice and homestyle garlic bread. This isn't a fancy place. I think about 2/3 of the people that came in while I was eating there were getting takeout. There was definitely a steady stream of customers. The guy at the counter was very nice, and everyone working there seemed quite friendly and happy. Gave me a good feeling. I ate alone and felt totally comfortable--not every place is good for that. I had the chicken and rice as leftovers two days in a row, so I got three solid meals out of the Greek chicken dinner I ordered (take note: I'm a smaller person) It came with two pieces of YUMMY chicken (not dry, with flavorful skin that was just the right degree of crisp), plenty of rice, a small refreshing (if iceberg-y) salad (I saw someone on Yelp ordered feta cheese on their salad, so I did the same; a LOT of feta for $1.50 extra), garlic bread (made with soft french bread, a very home-style, but good, take on garlic bread), and one potato. How I wish it came with more than one potato. Next time I will see if I can get a side of those potatoes. It was SO GOOD! I will definitely be back here when I'm in the Chicago area.
(5)L M.
Excellent chicken dinner. One of the best and very friendly service ..hope they will not raise prices due to remodeling
(4)Rob J.
Great food, great service! My family and I go here as often as we can, and we are never disappointed. I prefer the chicken sandwiches here over portillos the chicken is bigger and better. Highly recommend this place!
(5)Michael C.
Absolutely terrible customer service this morning. We ordered last night, and it was pleasant. After having a great experience last night, we figured we'd order again, and it was a HUGE mistake. We called exactly at 10:00AM this morning, we placed our order and they said 30 minutes. I was fine with that. My finacee gets there at 10:30, and she didn't leave until 11AM. 30 minutes longer than necessary. She asked if she could have some type of compensation for her having to wait. All the man could says was "Sorry, we don't do that". "Sorry, we had to wait for the soup". Well then maybe next time you should tell your customers you need an hour to make the damn soup, not like it should've been ready before you opened or anything. It's too bad, because the food is great. But if they're not willing to lean with their customers, they don't deserve my money. The ONLY reason for the second star was because of how well we were treated last night. They won't be getting my money again. Had it went as well today as it did last night, I would have been a frequent. Their loss.
(2)Robert G.
I was looking for a good place for dinner, when Yelp suggested Yorky's for me. We were close by and I didn't really feel like putting dinner together tonight, so an old-fashioned Greek-ish fast food place sounded like a plan. I grabbed a chicken plate. It was nicely seasoned, though a tad dry. The boiled potatoes were very well seasoned, which is good seeing as I really don't like boiled potatoes. The garlic bread side was good enough, but the side salad was drowned in Italian dressing. Somehow the lettuce came through still crispy. On the bright side, they have a nice, sweet BBQ sauce to alleviate any dryness you might encounter. My wife's fries were likewise good diner fare. Nothing here struck me as exceptional, but for $10 / person it wasn't so bad.
(4)Niko B.
Now I get it why this place is so highly rated. As soon as I pulled into parking lot and saw number of cabs parked, I figured it is as advertised: cheap, greasy, nice tasting food served in not so presentable setting. Seeing how crammed place is, I've switched my order from dine-in to carry-out - even though it was hectic, guy giving out orders & cooks handled the switch promptly. Since one wall is completely mirrored, looking from outside you may get impression that there are more seats than there really are... just keep that in mind. I would advise you to do carryout anyway - especially if it's lunch time. I was there for gyro - if you are going for the same thing get gyro plate ($9.99). You'll get enough meet, fries and salad to easily make 3+ gyros at home. I've read my fair share of Yelp reviews that boast - huge portions / can feed 2 people easily - this time it is really true. Next time I'll definitely ask if they can sell me 2 extra flatbreads; would be funny to do a gyro day where I can have a gyro for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
(5)Judith B.
Greek Chicken and potatoes, YUMMY. Chili, YUMMY Greek Salad, YUMMY Obviously the menu is a little more than your local fast food place. The staff is really nice and seem to enjoy being there. I can understand- I enjoy it there too! The price in great and their portions are insane! I always split my meals into 2. Especially their gyro dinner! mmmmmmmmmm, I should stop there for lunch tomorrow.
(5)Michael B.
We live on the road, 260 nights a year across the USA. I think we just found our new favorite place in the USA for quality, value, price, portion. This place is a solid 5 to us. We live in AZ so we plugged in this location on the GPS and will seek it out anytime we are within half an hour of this place. We'll go back again tomorrow while we're still in town. Huge portions, great people, excellent food, GREAT prices unlike what Tonk K had to say in his review. I can find no fault with this place. Maybe I wouldn't take a girl here on the first date, maybe, but surely on the 2nd date!
(5)Div G.
Great chicken ... Very delicious ... Good salad, good food! I always enjoy eating there!
(5)William B.
Awesome gyros. Excellent broasted chicken. havent had much else, because its too hard to not get the gyro.
(4)Catherine S.
I eat Yorky's alot, I always get the Rib Tip Dinner and my husband gets the Grecian Chicken and it has always been amazing. My grandkids go and get the Steak but of course we bring the A-1..lol Never had a bad experience and will continue to keep going. Love It!!1
(5)Tony K.
Im reviewing this place again. I decided to try it out and see if the quality improved. It didnt. The hot dogs are well below average. The dog itself is somewhat mushy, the buns are cheap and they didnt put any relish on. The greek chicken, its fair. They are charging the price for a chicken breast and its bone in with fat. The rice..... its rice.... with oil and a smidge of seasoning. Nothing at all special. The greek potatoes are fair. Somewhat tasteless and not the best texture. This is average food that is overpriced by about 20%. I cant even begin to understand why or HOW someone could give this place 5 stars. Im guessing these are the people that have their wedding reception at Denny's.
(2)Mark E.
Great food, great people and a family owned business. A perfect trifecta to go there.
(5)Sennett L.
Came here on Sunday after visiting our friends church. Ordered the 1/2 grilled chicken plate with rice and salad. Also got a pizza puff. The pizza puff was something that our Chicago friends raved about so expectations were pretty high. Verdict: not bad... It tasted good and I liked the crunchy texture. I just expected a lot so I wasn't blown away. The grilled chicken was really good though. Really juicy and tender chicken. Tasty rice pilaf and fresh salad.
(4)Bob A.
I took my youngest son (23) out tonight for a complete gyros experience . We both ordered the gyros sandwich with fries and soda. We both have a special place for a gyros just around the corner at home. But I have to tell you, Yorkys puts that place to shame. They shave the pit from top to bottom, this way you get several hunks of meat, were back home, it's bits n pieces that are re warmed on the grill. They serve the sandwich in a paper wrap, it look like a 3" diameter sick of electrical pipe. It was huge! The other nice value, they treat their customers as if they were family. I saw an older couple leaving as we walked in, and one of the staff carried out this large container, must have been broasted chicken to their car. My next visit will be the chicken. Any ways, good food, large portions, and a nice staff.
(5)Earl W.
A very pleasant surprise. Great food and sports area and atmosphere. The blackened fish dishes were superb.

Yorky's Fast Food is a small fast food eatery located off of York Road in Elmhurst. They have a wide and diverse menu of food choices available to try out. In visiting Yorky's I decided to try the hot dog with fries. The hot dog I received came on a regular non-poppy seed bun. The hot dog itself is a skinless dog that is longer than most Chicago style hot dogs. It came with a somewhat thin pickle slice, some thick tomato slices and no sign of celery salt. The application of mustard and relish on this hot dog was a bit thicker than most places apply it and results in a slightly soggy bun. The onions were well applied and the peppers weren't too hot and added a nice flavor. The fries that came with this hot dog were the thickest crinkle cut fries I can recall laying my eyes upon. They were crispy on the outside, not too salty but not too flavorful either. The potato paste on the inside of the fries was a bit bland which considering the lack of salt led to some unimpressive french fries. Needless to say I tried a few and threw out of the rest of them. Overall Yorky's fast food is about average for a Chicago style fast food eatery serving hot dogs. I'd say that it's worth stopping at if you happen to be nearby but not at all worth going out of your way for. Three stars for Yorky's.
(3)Meg F.
The food is average here. Nothing special about it but will do in a pinch. Friendly service.

The food here is always excellent and the people are so friendly. Excellent customer service every time we eat here.

This is my best place having lunch or dinner with my hubby!! Tried almost every specials and plates, never disappointed!!
(5)Cher M.
Fast? Yes. Fast Food? This ain't your average McDonald's. The staff are all very nice and eager to please. The food is delicious and you can even find healthy options. Take the greek chicken platter with potatoes and salad. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the potatoes taste like they've been cooking for days. My preferred meal is the carb-tastic Broasted Chicken (dark meat, natch) with a side of rice pilaf (rice with the sauce from the Greek Chicken) and a piece of garlic bread. Sure, I'll be on the elliptical for 4 hours to burn it off, but it soooo worth it. Comfort food at its best!
(4)Chelsea K.
The food is great, the people are great, the price is right. I would recommend to anyone!
(5)Robby K.
a $10 lunch is a meal for 2. go for the chicken breast plate, fried chicken, gyros salad! Kabobs, soup, this place is worth it! Most the dinner plates come with rice, potato, bread that is kinda buttered and a lil garlic-y but def no over powering. and salad with an addicting vinaigrette Greek Owned always a plus. do be warned the lunch rush hits promptly at 11:45am, by 12-12:30 it may be hard to find a seat. This place is all about a hearty home cooked meal ! it's truly greasy comfort food. they have all the standards like hot dogs and hamburgers but you're better off getting that stuff @ Scooby's just north of here on Grand ave. why not 5 stars? because it is still fast food. actually it is REALLY FAST food with speedy service..., but i cannot afford $10 lunches everyday.
