“I have gone to Andros Taverna for many years now where I am never disappointed and always impressed with the service, the quality of food and ingredients, the atmosphere and the passion in general. Chef Doug Psaltis is a true expert and artist performing at the highest levels. The gyros are the best, best gyros in Chicago by far, the seafood world class, the homemade bread and pita are incredible. The foods and meats are cooked over wood fire, wood fire grilled. We had our daughters baptism catered from here which was excellent assortment of Greek food - this is a Greek restaurant you will go to for many years to come.“

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“First day in Chicago and after a long roadtrip we wanted to eat something familiar and as Greeks..Taxim was the first restaurant that popped near our renting area. The food was DELICIOUS.. authentic tastes, we got the Prassopita, haloumi , souvlakia and Kokoretsi pair with some greek FIX beers. The atmosphere on the terrace was beautiful, the smell of roasting meets made everything feel like you are in a cute restaurant somewhere in a village in Greece. Our server was very kind and knowledgeable. All the stuff was very polite and welcoming!“

“Very good for quick quality service. The portions are extremely abundant, you definitely won’t be hungry. I like how they specify on their menu which type of oil that is used. The gyros meat tends to be a bit too salty, but this is probably how it just is.“

“Had an amazing meal at Kouklas! Was referred by a friend, and so glad we tried it. Meal comes one plate at a time (think full size tapas) and every dish was delicious. Ordered the Eggplant, Dolmades, Octopus, Branzino, and Soulvaki - it was all wonderfully prepared. Dessert was great too. Service was very attentive. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes! Great restaurant!“

“I love Avli!! The locations I’ve been to, Winnetka and Avli Taverna, have a great philosophy, atmosphere and is intimate for couples, yet easily accommodates a family of 4 comfortably for a casual yet fine dining experience. The menu is thoughtful, including imported Greek oils, crafted unique Greek dishes masterly designed with every detail. Every desire the guest needs is addressed and executed. The plates are exquisite and the atmosphere is heavenly, magical! (No doubt, I imagine, and kudos to your VP and marketing genius Ian) I passed Avli on the Park New Year’s Eve and did take a video which I will gladly post/share! The energy and vibe permeated outside to the guests in line waiting to enter to celebrate the New Year with Ian Vlahakis and the friends and family of Avli!

“Stopped by tonight for the best Ribs in town. Excellent food Excellent prices. A must stop to eat….“

“Had the $5.00 gyros special very generous portion-friendly service-fast service-great sandwich
Will try other things on menu or other daily specials
No way is this a 1 or 2 star place.
You can spend more money at the McDonald's across the street and not get the quality and price.
Parking can be a problem but it's worth the hassle“

“If you are reading this, then let me make the decision for you — go eat at Andie’s! The ambience was on point, the wait staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious! One of the appetizers gets presented lit on fire, and we got warm complimentary pita bread. I ordered grilled shrimp and chicken kebab and the lamb shank, both yummy. Definitely one of my new favorite places in Andersonville. Eating at Andie’s will make your wildest dreams come true!“

“Great service and great food.“

“I love these old school no nonsense simple and great food places that were all over since the 80s and 90s. Not many are left like this. Their grilled chicken, burgers, fries, chilli everything is so good. The prices have gone up a lot in the last 10 years and still more budget friendly than so many other places in the area. I go here 3 to 4 times a month. Great staff. Always friendly and fast.“

“This place is clean with ample sitting room. Food is always good. They know what they are doing. You order and then you get the pager before you get the food. The menu has a lot of options. Because it's a large space, you almost never have to wait for sitting.“

“Great food excellent service“

The food is pretty average, but there’s something nostalgic and comforting about this place. Service was good, atmosphere felt familiar, and overall we enjoyed our visit. Definitely check them out for yourself and enjoy a nice meal with family or friends..“
