“A nice local place. Good food, lot's of choices, always quick, and reasonable prices.Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian place per se. But the choice variety is wide enough that a vegetarian like my mother can easily put together a good meal.Kid-friendliness: No playland but food is delivered quickly, and that helps with kids.Wheelchair accessibility: All ground floor, wide doors and wide aislebetween tables. So wheelchairs should have minimal dificulty.“
“This place is special in a way that would almost makes me want to keep it a well-guarded secret. You don't really get this experience anymore, it takes a confluence of passion and community that's hard to come by in any era, let alone the modern, distanced, impersonal world we occupy now.This is the quintessential Chicago Mom n' Pop experience. Great food at ridiculously good prices served up with a smile and a friendly familiarity that makes you feel like you're right at home.The decor matches the patrons: humble, comfortable, working-class Americana and unapologetically Chicagoan to the core. You can tell most of the customers here are patrons for life, and with good reason. You always feel like a person here, not an order. They aren't just trying to turn over your ticket, they want to make sure you're taken care of.I can't tell you the last time I had perfect fries before this, like too-hot-to-eat, immaculate golden brown fries. I definitely can't recall ever getting them with a whole burger for under $7. I fed two hungry adults here for less than $20. It felt absurd, almost, like I wanted to pay more because it felt unfair to them that I'd pay twice that much at a lot of places.Just a positively perfect experience every time and we always make it a point to stop here anytime we're remotely close by.“

Can't wait to try other offerings. Definitely a must try if you are looking for a good meal!!!Parking: Easier to get in and out parking lot than it looks.“
“I've worked in Morton Grove for 26 years and we have patronized this location often and have always found the food to be consistently great and the service to be Timely and I'm actually on my way there this now! Highly recommend. The Greek gyros are phenomenal and I also love the American Style. Stop by if you're in the area you'll be glad you did“
“We dined at Plateia for the first time tonight. The food is absolutely fantastic. We had the feta and honey appetizer along with tzatziki and fresh warm pita. For our main course, I had the yogurt chicken and oven potatoes which were delicious. My husband had the pastitcio which he enjoyed. Service was great, too! By the way, while waiting did our table, we observed a screaming woman who was upset that she had not been seated yet. She was incredibly rude to the hostesses and left in a huff. She threatened to leave nasty reviews on Yelp, calling the restaurant "trash". Make no mistake... she was the trashy one. If she leaves a review here, ignore it!“
“They never miss to make great food in here, Italian beef is fire, and burgers are made well and placed perfectly. Whatever they are doing back there they are doing right. Only complaint would be the blond muscular gentleman seems to always have an attitude. If he sees this all I gotta say is chill out broski it will be alright ?“
“Nadine was an amazing server! She was prompt and knowledgable about the establishment. Food was good, but nothing to rave about.Definitely would come again if someone wanted to meet here, but don't think it would be something I'd crave to come back on my own terms.“
“This is the best Greek village salad I’ve ever had. This is my favorite type of salad and usually the only type of salad I will eat. I got it from here a few weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since….so glad I went back for it again today - YUM!!Their marinated meats for the grill are also delicious!!“
“Excellent Greek and Chicago specialties. We started with Saganaki (flaming Greek cheese), they used to flamblé at table side, now they flamblé near the table and when it goes put they serve it. We also had calamari (kalamari). I strayed from the Greek traditional dishes and tried the fried smelts; if you grew up in the midwest, you might have tried smelts, and Central Gyros served them exactly as I remember my mother did. We also got Pastitsio, a Greek lasagna type dish. All entrées are served with soup, and we all chose the egg lemon soup. Solid choice. Overall Central Gyros has been doing Greek food for decades and provide great food at reasonable price.Parking: There is a free multi-level parking garage across the street.“
“Been a customer since 1978 when it opened. There have been a few changes in ownership over the last 10 years, but the food quality has come back to an excellent level again. Love the gyros. The meat, the bread and how it’s cooked, and the sauce are amazing. But their gyros are not the only food they serve. Make a trip . It’s worth it.“
“Has so many choices of food from sandwiches to sea food and regular grill food ! The only thing Abt the Italian beef it wasn't as proportioned in meat compared to Portillos for example.. Great service and lots of seating to your comfort! Will definitely come back to try other meals !“
“Number to share other than to say we really liked that place and enjoyed the food. Before we went there when I thought of Greek food I thought of gyros and that stuff in grape leaves. This place was a heck of a lot more than that and very yummy.“
“This is my favorite Greek restaurant in the country and one of my top 3 go-to places in the NW Chicago suburbs. The service is friendly and very attentive, and the food is beyond amazing. Do yourself a favor and order the "flaming cheese" -- a lot of it! Opa!“
“Went for a late afternoon family birthday dinner. The menu selection, food quality, authenticity, ambiance were all second to none. I recommend the Yemista (stuffed peppers and tomatoes filled with beef and rice) served with Greek potatoes and veggies. Other family members had the Dolmades, Pastitsio, and Makaronada, all of which were mouth watering and done right! Avgolemono was glorious, and the Saganaki was awesome, spot on-not dry or too salty. Portions are generous and yet dont leave you stuffed but satisfied. It felt like we were in Greece. OPAA! You must eat here! Bravo Dimitri's and all the staff, σας ευχαριστούμε!“
“This place is such a hidden little gem. I had the Mediterranean salad w chicken and it was DELICOUS. The salad ingredients were so fresh and full of flavor and the chicken was juicy! My fiancé had the pork belly gyro plate and he said it was amazing! The servers were very attentive and kind. Will be back “
“I went to this restaurant with family on 11/13 2023. We got outdoor seating and they were able to put tables together and seat us very fast. The service always had smiles on their faces and were all around very pleasant. The view was amazing, right next to the water. There was a bit of a wait for the food (which is expected for the large group we had) but they had live music and just such a great atmosphere. The food was 10/10 meeting and beating all of our expectations. Some dishes were a little pricey but not bad for the amount of food we were given and for the quality of food it was.“
“The Greek salad was Awesome!!! Had everything in it and anchovies upon request! The Grecian Chicken meal and Gyros sandwich Awesome! Don't forget the freshcut fries, nice and hot upon pick-up! We'll be coming back real soon...We're neighborhood folk, and like to enjoy a nice delicious meal away from home, just like eating at home! You won't go wrong trying this place, if you haven't already!Parking: Parking is very convenient...right out in front“
“"Franksville Chicago earns my highest praise for its diverse menu and consistently delicious food. Whether it's gyros, Greek chicken, or burgers, every dish impresses. Even when we arrived close to closing time, the staff graciously accommodated us, allowing us to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. Their kindness and quality cuisine make Franksville Chicago a standout dining destination."“
“Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! Probably visited here last in the 2010s but still the same classic joint interior-wise and food-wise. Top 5 Gyros and Chicken Gyros spots in the Chicagoland suburban area in my opinion. Ordered their Chicken Gyros sandwich as well as a side of Oven-baked Greek Potatoes (pictured here). So much gyros meat and the potatoes are perfectly baked and soaked in broth. Not going to wait years for my next visit.“
“Wow this place is great. Not sure who I spoke to on the phone but I called 5 min before closing to place an order, and they kept the place open for me to arrive and pick up my food! It’s hard to find genuine service these days but Whoever they have answering the phone on Thursday nights is a freaking rock star! I would give 10 stars if I could but I highly recommend this place!“
“Great Greek food is my favorite but the burgers, hot dogs, ribs and chicken are the best. They have catered several family events and are kind sweet people to work with! The decor is strictly fast food but there's always a lively group enjoying themselves.“
“Local spot. Great flavorful salads with lots of ingredients and delicious dressings. Great for dinner, lunch, and catering for large groups. Kids love the chicken nuggets and we love the burgers. Our go to quick and fresh meal spot.Kid-friendliness: Lots of great choices for kids.“
“Place was old school with workers who have been there for several years. It was fun to listen to the old timers banter each other and the regulars. The food was okay, not the traditional gyro but huge portions of meat and onions if that’s what you’re looking for.“

We will be back for sure great dinner worth every dime hats off to the chefs delicious ? damit give them all a raise!!!Parking: Enough spaces!!“
“New ownerships kicks a**! Their chicken 10/10, never dry and full of flavor. Cashier (whose name I should know by now with how often I order from here) is always so kind. I have not had a single complaint or negative thing to say since the new owner took over, my food order is always fresh and on time!“
“Gotta be the only time I've ever purchased food in an airport and thought "Man I probably should have paid more for that." Crazy value for the money you're paying. 12 bucks I got a huge plate of gyro, fries, pita, and veggies.“

“Dengeos is our family's go-to spot for a great dinner at a fair price, never failing to impress us with their delicious offerings. I am an absolute sucker for their Greek chicken dinner, especially the Greek potatoes, which are always perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, the service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Every visit to Dengeos leaves us satisfied and looking forward to our next meal there.
