Master Critic Review
Nick's Gyros
8.3
A late-night South Side gyro-and-grill counter that wins on repeatable, high-satisfaction staples—gyro plates, chicken pitas, and big, greasy-in-a-good-way sides. It’s best treated like a choose-your-lane spot: one gyro or pita as the anchor, then fries or a classic sandwich add-on to round it out.
Must-Try Dishes:
Gyro plate, Chicken on pita, Italian beef sandwich
