24 Best Greek Restaurants near Wheeling

“Update: Looking back 8 years later, we still remember what a fantastic experience we had at Skippers Restaurant. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and the overall atmosphere made it a memorable stop during our travels.

The service stood out just as much as the food. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. It had that classic local restaurant feel where you could tell people truly enjoyed coming there.

What really stayed with us over the years was the quality and consistency of the experience. Great food, good service, and a relaxed atmosphere are what make restaurants memorable, and Skippers definitely delivered all three.

As Mike & Amy’s Small Town Adventures, we have explored restaurants all across Illinois and beyond, and this is still one of the places we remember positively years later. Easy 5 stars from us.

It was the best food, for a very decent price, that we have had in a long time!“

“Everything was fantastic. The jumbo shrimp ARE jumbo. The grilled appetizer was delicious. I highly recommend the dolmades and lamb chops.“

“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!“

“love this restaurant & have been going here for over 20 years. Always great food & service except the bread. They changed the provider and bread is not as fresh, warm & tasty like it used to be.. this is the only thing which is not up to standards thank you for listening everything else is great.“

“I'm right next door eat there a lot“

“The chicken kabob dinner is a must-try when really hungry, and the grilled chicken pita is a go-to for a quick meal!“

“Chiggy’s Gyros has been part of my life since they opened.. an amazing 29 years ago, and somehow it’s still just as good as I remember from day one. In a world where so many places change ownership, cut corners, or lose what made them special, Chiggy’s has stayed consistently amazing. The gyros are always fresh, flavorful, and piled high, the fries are perfect, and the service has always felt welcoming and genuine.

What really makes this place special is the memories tied to it. It’s become one of those comfort spots you keep coming back to through every stage of life. After nearly three decades of eating here, I can honestly say Chiggy’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a local institution. Grateful they’ve been serving the community all these years, and I hope they’re around for many more.“

“We catered a business lunch from there. Food was delicious and well packaged. We’ll order from there again. #iraeats.“

“Absolutely amazing! The 1/2 Greek Chicken at The Gyros Factory is one of the best meals I’ve had in Des Plaines. Perfectly seasoned, cooked on the bone, and unbelievably tender. The rice pilaf and Greek potatoes complete the plate beautifully. A must-try!“

“No better way to spend a summer afternoon than with a spritz and a friend in the Social18 patio. The Chicago hot dog or gourmet, and their waffle fries with cheese sauce do the stomach justice. Mark also gave great service with a smile and a side of humor.“

“1st time visiting this establishment. Very friendly and nostalgic atmosphere. Had their 1/3 burger and onion rings. It was fantastic!! Best burger I've had in a long time. Actually meaty and fresh not one of those frozen smash burgers. Can't wait for my next visit. Hope to try something new, if I can convince myself to skip the burgers. And did I mention very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!“

“OMG! I've been trying to find a a place with good gyros for a decent price. So far this place is best place in the area, but only because of what I'm able to afford. Used UberEats at a discounted rate. A gyro (sauce on the side) with, curly fries, a cup of cheese, and a medium drink for $20 with the tip included. So far the best value for my buck and it all tasted excellent. I recommend Brandy's to any gyro lover visiting the area.“

“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.“

“Very clean and delicious eats🤤😋“

“This is one of the best take out places ever. Menu offers healthy choices and yummy soups, as well as some down home fast food as well. Friendly efficient staff. This restaurant is clean as a whistle too. We love Dengeos.“
