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.

When you find a local neighborhood spot that just screams family and the food takes you back to your childhood, that's a place you want to keep going back to. Hands down best gyros in town and the tzatziki sauce definitely makes them stand out. Very friendly service and clean establishment. Not to mention the pricing is more affordable than other places with a similar menu. It's located in a small strip mall next to Walgreens, but once you find it you won't forget it.

One of the best Gyros in the Chicagoland area. Extremely authentic ran by great people. Will for sure be back to try pork gyros.

I think this is my new spot now! I am really in love with their Greek Chicken Salad. It is so fresh and delicious and the Greek dressing is amazing AF! I think they won me over just from the dressing lol. I also really LOVE their soups! I just had the chicken lemon rice today and it was off the Richter Scale out of this world!!! I love Avgolemeno but this place makes it on another level!

I had been coming here for over 20 years but as other reviewers have pointed out, sadly the portions served and quality is not what it was years ago. No longer my go to spot.

The Works is a Glenview institution serving the best Chicago drive-in fare. Its heyday may be behind it, but this venerable grill still pumps out some of the best Greek food in the area. It's changed subtlety over the decades, but it remains a fine place to catch up with old friends in a familiar setting. Long live The Works!

The works has been around in the same location for probably 50 years. It arguably has the best gyros in Chicagoland.

Devour it OR Savor every perfect bite!The VERY ABSOLUTE BEST GYROS IN THE WORLD ? AND UNIVERSE!I have been coming here since 1985.And never has it changed and always perfect. The don't wrap it all up and throw Tajikistan sauce on it. No, it's layer out for you to choose how you want your gyros. That service alone and attention to detail PROVES they have absolute confidence in the quality of the meat cut/sliced at the. Perfect temperature..not too under or over cooked.And the pita bread is lightly glazed with oil and thrown on the grill as well so you get a nicely perfectly toasted pita bread. I've never encountered any other girls place ever that has done that they try to get you in and out and you never know if the pita bread is not even heated up it tastes like poop or it's just wrapped in and wrapped with tin foil and the pita bread is not enjoyable. Here they toast it perfectly lightly glazed with oil the set on top of your meat. Along with perfect fries a side of onions and tomatoes and don't forget the best thing of all here I've never tasted a better tzatziki sauce than I have here

Great gyros with plenty of meat on the pita bread, and they also have pork gyros if you want a different flavor. The pork is a bit lean for my taste, but don't let that prevent you from trying it at least once.
Clean restaurant and great hot dogs!!
