    Gyros, Gyros, Gyros! Long standing hole-in-the-wall serving the BEST Gyros. Heads up: they add sports peppers and it's great! Ask for the ketchup on fries and the will literally put it on!

    I could be a regular here. And I don't need to try anything else on the menu. The gyros are it! This place is old school Chicago style from the old menu board to the decor. Fine by me!

    Hellas is well known for their gyros. Quality meat, generous portions, served over a lightly grilled pita. Amazing!

    Atmosphere is unique; not for everyone; mostly for those whose lives are hard.

    Now this place is definitely a "mans" diner! Nothin shiny about it! Take syou back to the 70's. You walk in and are asked your order. No"helo" no "hi" just straight up whadaya want. Next your told to

    Watch out for the duct tape on the seats, sometimes it's peeling off and will leave residue on your pants.

    Don't forget they have mild sauce here, and it's great on fries and chicken alike.

    Avoid the fried chicken sandwich. It's not real chicken. They use some kinda fake minced ribbed meat patty and throw it in grease. Not very appealing.

    If your looking for sanitary, stay away. When I walked in the guy was smoking (Isn't Chicago smoke free?!). Worst part is, when I ordered he tried to get up and make my food w/O washing his hands
