Greek Cuisine
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.

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.

I really like this place my favorite are The Greek Fries OMG soo good if you are carrying them out ask for them well done because they pour Greek juices and feta cheese on them, such a guilty pleasure! There Beef sandwich is also really good way better than Portillos which is down the street I honesty rather have one from Tom's they are packed with tasty beef I usually ask for it dipped and with sweet peppers. Their burgers are great as well, they have everything here make sure you try this place out it's Great! The service is fast and friendly you can't go wrong!

I used to go here a lot when i live in the berwyn/lyons area. We always got the greek chicken with fries and the "salad" on the side. I loved that chicken. The sauce it was in is amazing. But of course, they had other non-greek items. When I was younger, I used to get the corn dogs. All in all the food is good, but not to die for.

Tom's Carry Out is a decent sized fast food eatery located off of Harlem avenue in Lyons. They have a wide menu of items and a bunch of video gambling machines located in a small dark room off to the side by the bathrooms. In stopping by here I decided to try out the hot dog. The first thing to note was the wait. It took around ten minutes to get two hot dogs and fries. Once I received the hot dogs just looking at them, I knew I wasn't going to be very happy. The hot dog here was served on a hard non poppy seed bun. Excessive amounts of mustard and relish were piled on. The pickle spear used was giant and sour. The sport pepper used on this hot dog was incredibly hot and totally threw off the taste of everything else and will stick in your mouth for hours to come. The signage here indicated that they use Red Hot Chicago hot dogs, but these sure didn't taste like them. It was a skinless frank that had a baloney-like taste with the sausage. Both my friend and I only made it a few bites into these nasty hot dogs. If these weren't bad enough the fries here were even worse. Really nasty examples of fresh cut fries with a bad aftertaste and were so over-fried they crunched. Overall Tom's Carry Out is among the worst fast food eateries I've come across, slow service and horrible food. It should be called "Tom's Throw Out" because that's what happened with most of our awful food. One star for this disaster.

Great gyros, they make it exactly how you want. The grecian potatoes are so good! Don't really understand the video gaming sensation that has hit all these local places, but whatever!

Another burger joint, or as I like to call it, that I will never forget. First time I tried this place was around 2007 when I was still living in Lyons. I always admired the smell of burgers in the air as you pass by the place. When you walk in: you see the grill and such behind the cashier, the flames coming up from beneath the grill, the gyro meat spinning slowly in the cooker. As they take your order, they tell the cooks what to make as they finish taking your order. Pretty quick if you ask me. The food is fully cooked and made just like you want it. Sometimes I have to wait for the food to cool down a bit before I can enjoy it. I went back a couple of more times that year. That's when the family and I moved. Now it's tough to find a place similar to this where I live at now. There may be a time where I will visit that area again and when I do, I'm gonna visit Tom's and get myself a nice, big burger with their amazing fries.

Ok, there are a lot of Beef Joints in the Chicago area, but Tom's has been one of my favorites for a long time now. Whenever I am back home visiting my parents I have to stop in and get some carry out from Tom's. The problem is how do you decide what to get. No problem, Tom's is so economical you can get all your favorites and not go broke! On my visit last Wednesday night I had a beef, hot dog, italian sausage, and fries. Now The plan was to have a taste of each, but they were so good, I ate three in there entirety! So why is Tom's so good? It cause they have the same crew putting together sandwiches that were there when I left in 2003. They are really Beef Joint Artists! So if your looking for a delicious meal that will fill you up and make you feel good inside head on over to Tom's.

Bad gyros. Please don't serve me meat that has been sitting on the spit for who the hell knows how long. It's hard. It's tough. I can see it. It's dark brown and spitting oil. (Mind you, it's only 2 in the afternoon.) Hey, I like grease, but i don't like overcooked meat, because it's HARD and TOUGH and it takes a hell of a lot of sauce to make up for it. And I already paid for extra sauce. And it really didn't help because I threw half of this crap away. So overall, I feel ripped off. I can't see a reason to return....as you know if you read my reviews, I look for the good, somewhere. Ok..it looked clean in there. And the cashier was nice. If video gambling machines are your thing, they've got them. Otherwise, no thanks. .

I eat here pretty frequently. But that's only because it's a few blocks from my house that being said it isn't bad but if it weren't so close I don't think it'd be a place I'd cone back but wouldn't mind to. Surprisingly good chicken quesadilla!
(4)M W.
Ick!! I just ate one of their burgers-it was hands down the grossest burger that's ever passed my lips. The lower bun was so soggy it was falling apart. I should've taken that as a sign but in my ignorance I got a new bun and proceeded to eat it. The meat had been microwaved!!! Also we ordered a single cheeseburger and they made it a double. Great-more disgusting meat. Never ever eat here.

Tom's has been a staple to satisfying the craving for grease in this neighborhood for over 30 years. It actually used to be located on the east side of Harlem prior to the fruit market getting expanded. This place is the go to for a gyros. I have never had a better one, mainly because they brown the meat further before they put it on the pita with the yogurt sauce. It all melds together with the fresh onion and tomato slice. The fries here are also delicious. The skin is left on and the are heavily salted to go perfectly with whatever you order off the menu. Gyros, burgers, or even hot dogs all well prepared at a good price. This is not the type of place you will come and dine to impress you girlfriend's parents, but it's a great place to go when you would like to eat a not so healthy meal that did not come out of a major drive through.

for what it is, its good. if you want good greasy food and fast service, go here.

Food is great! Been eating there for years!

A solid ONE star. Why? Here is why: 1. Walked into this place, waited a full 3 mins before having to go get someone to take our order. 2. There was an attitude. Why was that? 3. Asked to substitute the fries and got a run down on the price difference WITH an extra side of attitude. (I didn't ask about price...wtf?) 4. Ordered just the side of Greek potatoes, they aren't cooked all the way through! BLECH! 5. Their pricing vs. food quality is OFF! Overall, I will never return. There are too many fast food restaurants to go around to deal with below mediocre food and sub-par customer service. Good riddance!

Typical greek** carry out place, but the food is good. They have the gyros, the beef, the greek chicken, burgers, etc. They don't have an extensive veggie menu, but they have two things I love there. First, the grilled cheese sandwich. It's on a pita. When I first got it, I was a bit perturbed by the pita, but it's delicious. Also delicious is the Veggie Sandwich. Bite sized veggies w/ feta cheese, also on a pita. It's cheap and it fills you up. **Greek: owned by greek people, not necessarily having only greek food. It's a south side thing, apparently.

This place keeps putting everybody around it out of business. That should be worth a look. Great gyros, and burgers. Fresh cut fries with the skin on. A little pricy compared to other greek joints. But you have to look for the specials. They are on a little 8 x 10 sign at the register. Of course they have a huge menu. The ribs and baked chicken are in a case on the front counter. So they are reheated. My friend has had both for dinner and said they were pretty good. Sorry, I'm not taking anyone's word for it again. But I'm not eating something that's been in a heat box for who knows how many hours, or days. Stick with the fresh cooked fair. Expect to wait in line at lunch. One register, slow service.
(3)Jamie R.
Food is always ok. Service is always slow. Prices are a cheap. Many options. With so many people working there, you'd think everything would even out. Oh well, I like there gyros so we go back once in awhile.
(3)Katie J.
Nothing special. Greasy, hangover food. But it's 2011, they do not accept debit cards, etc. Only cash and I dont carry cash. Bullcrap! Might as well go a block away to Mister Submarine which has all the same foods, but they take debit cards.
(2)Joe C.
simply put, the baddest gyro in town. always great!!!!!!!!! \ a must eat!!!!!
