Squab Gyros is one of those rare spots that somehow nails everything on the menu and does it consistently. Whether you’re in the mood for classic Greek flavors or something more American and indulgent, this place delivers every single time.
The Greek chicken dishes are the real standouts—epic is the right word. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right, they taste like they came straight off a backyard grill run by someone who actually cares. The gyros are exactly what you want: tender meat, warm pita, fresh toppings, and that creamy sauce that ties it all together. Nothing skimpy, nothing phoned in.
And then there are the burgers. For a place known for Greek food, the burgers are shockingly good—thick, flavorful, and cooked with real attention. It’s the kind of menu where you can bounce between cuisines without ever feeling like you made the wrong choice.
Service here is always prompt and efficient. Even when they’re busy, orders move fast, and the staff keeps things friendly and on point. You’re in, you’re fed well, and you’re out happy.
If you want to call it a restaurant or fast food spot, either way it works—but in Melrose Park, Squab Gyros stands above the rest. It’s hands-down the best place to grab a consistently great meal, no matter what you’re craving.

Would have given 5 stars but a short female employee with a funny looking face had an attitude when I asked for her recommendation. Then my burger was slow to come out, I noticed people who came after me being served. I walked up and asked if they forgot about me. My burger had been sitting without them calling my number. Then that same employee rudely put the burger on the counter and said “here you go”. It sucks when employees take out their frustrations at work. I bit my tongue but I felt like telling her off.

The broasted chicken is something magical. Nothing but good people working here and always a great experience. Do yourself a favor and get some Squabs!

I went here a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend, it was our first time there and the staff gave us some recommendations! We ended up getting the 1/2 chicken plate and the 4 gyro’s plate, it was the juiciest chicken I have ever eaten and the gyro’s were delicious. The staff even saw me and my bf taking a picture and offered to take one of us! They were super sweet, we will definitely be coming back!

I ordered a gyros with fries and grilled onions. The fries were hard and over cooked. The pita-bread was hard as if the bread package was left open over-night that would dry out the bread and make it hard. I noticed this unpleasant eye contact i was receiving from the guys in the back who cooked my food. I could feel the prejudice. As i walked out not going up to argue about my food. I thought these people do not like black people. I said i would never eat there again. Mr Theodore Massonburg in Maywood, Illinois.
I WOULD'VE GIVEN 5 STARS BUT MY COMBINATION PLATE WAS EXTREMELY SALTY...THE RICE THE KEBABS THE GYRO MEAT...ITS ALMOST LIKE THEY DUMPED A BUNCH OF SEASONING ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE. I DIDN'T SEND THE FOOD BACK BECAUSE THE STAFF WAS SO PLEASANT I DIDN'T WANT TO COMPLAIN. I TRIED GREEK BEER FOR THE FIRST TIME...MYTHOS...I DID APPRECIATE THE BEER...BUT AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH TO THE AIRPORT I FINALLY STOPPED IN FOR A PLATE OF FOOD AND WAS LEFT WITH A SALT BATH ON A PLATE...I SHOULDN'T TASTE SALT...IT WAS PRETTY BAD HONESTLY. AND THE PITA WAS COLD...IT COULD BEEN WARMED...

Kathy Pete and Jimmy how do I even begin this! The food was absolutely delicious everything was fresh and most importantly hot! We got the 1 to 4 gyro special cheese fries and soup. But what absolutely took the cake was customer service we felt the love and most importantly the genuine care they had for each person. I love it here took us 5 years to finally try it out and I wish I would have sooner.
