Was looking for a good gyro experience and today I found one. I could tell when I walked through the door that I was in the right place. 2 gyro rotisseries going and all brown and crunchy. The staff was older friendly guys who had been doing this for a long time. I asked the guy at the counter whats the best thing they had in the place and he immediately said The Gyro Plate. So when in Rome… We ordered and he told us to have a seat and in a moment our food was ready. A surprisingly large amount of food. The pita bread was soft and flavorful, the meat was not too salty or too garlicky or too greasy and the veggies were fresh. I liked that the meat was browned by the IR rotisserie and not fried up on the griddle. The parsley on the onions was refreshing as well. Large basket of fries that tasted like clean oil and potatoes. The tzatziki sauce was unique. Never had one like it. Yogurt based but, really different in a good way. The inside of the place was clean and smelled okay. And oh, they have their own home made giardiniera. Didn’t try it yet but, I’ll be back for something that requires a little of that on it.

Alex’s is the first place I ever tried a gyro, and I’ve never found a place that even comes close to the gyros at Alex’s. The inside looks like it hasn’t been updated in years, but personally, I prefer places that look like that, because it means the food will be outstanding. The prices are super cheap and I feel like you can’t find a gyro that reasonable anywhere around here!

Gyros are fantastic here. Feels like I’m back in Chicago every time I step foot in there. However I can only give them 2 stars because of the disgusting black stain on the bottom of my soda cup after the ice melted and evaporated. That tells me they haven’t cleaned their ice machine in years. People are going to get sick off that ice.

We had lunch a second time giving the new owner a second opportunity if we were going to return in the future. Unfortunately we won’t be returning, sadly, to what we did consider one of favorite places to eat.

This place brings me back to the 90s, food was up to par with any vienna place around. Had something small to eat but it’s a great grab and go or to sit down with some friends and chill

Pretty good place for hot dog. Love their breaded mushrooms. In and out for lunch quickly and not over priced.

Great food. Interior is a little outdated but that doesn’t change how good the food is. I got a gyro my first time here and was so happy to have home made tzatsiki sauce. In my best terminator voice “I’ll be back”

Delicious. Great Chicago style Vienna beef hot dogs without inflation. We got 2 hot dog combos that came with fries and soda, we added 2 cups of cheese sauce. Altogether it was $12. Absolutely recommend.
