The buy 1 get 1 deal is a scam. Â They just raised the price of one gyro to cost double what it originally was. Â So you can pay for two gyros and get one gyro, or you can pay for two gyros and get two. Â Same price.
Also, watch the register. Â If they think they can scam you, they will. Â They like to charge extra to people they think aren't paying attention or are too drunk to notice.
The only thing that earns this place two stars instead of one is the food. Â It is really good. Â The gyros are pretty amazing. Â The fries are decent, if a little bland, and I enjoy the shrimp platter, as well. Â Pretty much all the food I've had is very tasty.
Good food, but shady, sketchy service. Â I'd recommend this place if you're willing to pay attention enough to not get ripped off.
Buy one, get one free gyros?  Hello?!  I love gyros!  I used to go to Five Faces because I didn't want to run into the shady characters on the block of Mr Gyros.  Since I found out about the BOGO, I haven't returned to Five Faces  - sorry dudes!
The inside, like the outside, is a little dirty. Â Thankfully, they have a big wall up blocking the kitchen because who knows what that would look like!
We don't have too many gyro places in LA. Not sure why since they are pretty awesome. I get the feeling that all these places in Chicago get their gyro meat from the same place, though. The meat seems the same everywhere you go- a big loaf of mystery meat that spins on a vertical spit until they shave some of it off for your sandwich. Mr. Gyros has 2-for-1 gyro sandwiches all day, every day, which is pretty cool. It costs about $10 for two meat-packed flatbreads with onion, tomato (hold for me) and gyro sauce. The gyro sauce is a tzatziki-style yogurt sauce that brings a lot of flavor and goes very well with the rest of the ingredients in the sandwich. I usually eat one for dinner and heat up the other in the microwave for lunch the next day.
The place is tiny, mainly a take-out joint with some sketchy looking folks loitering outside (at least at night when I go) who usually hit you up for spare change. I peeked behind the counter and it looked pretty clean, which kind of surprised me. Usually, places like this are a bit dingy. Plus they have a crapload of stuff on the menu- burgers, dogs, chicken- almost any kind of fast food you can think of, including something called a "Pizza Puff." Not sure what that is but I might have to try it next time.
Open 24 hours. Solid.
The place is called Mr. Gyros, but they have everything fried under the sun. You could eat here a hundred times and get something different each time.
I usually get the gyro (one free), and heat up the second one in the microwave the next day. It honestly tastes just as good.
Come here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have. Great 24 hour joint.
Food is good and lots of two for one deals but they mark up the prices so the 2 for 1s are only mediocre. Â Better fries than sammys down the street. Â But there are always bums and that crazy cat lady that always says she is going to "call officer tobias" that require this place to be atrictly carry out. Â I reccomend walking an extra block to sammys but you would never come here sober so my dog generally seems to enjoy the second gyro that he steals from the table after I pass out. Â Remove the transients so my racist dog doesnt get worked up before he eats and maybe he wont get diarrhea. Kthanx
Review Source:Yes, this place has some sketchy people hanging around it. But I just moved to the neighborhood and it was my mission to try everything within walking distance. Given my options, I think that is gonna take a long time! This area can really spoil you. There is literally nothing I can't get! And I just relocated back from L.A.
Mr. Gyros has all kinds of things on its menu; a dizzying array of possibilities. I was not expecting gourmet fare. But the first meal I got was a hotdog and fries and it was very good. It ain't Portillo's, but its the closets hot dog place to my apt., so score!
I wanted to try a burrito, but I really gots to have rice and beans in my burrito, so I don't know as I'll do that. I have yet to try a Gyros, mostly because I'd have to save the second "free" one for another day which hasn't appealed just yet. But it'll happen one day.
I love that this place offers so many options and is open all the time... I think, or at least, really late!
If you get 'em at the right time, the fries may be the best in the neighborhood. Â
Don't be fooled by the nickname "Home of the Buy One Get One Gyros(!)"
It's priced at 7.99. Â It's the processed loaf gyros meat, and it's 8 bucks for a gyros. Â Take a look at the menu, where the prices are. Â 7.99 is laid over the old price, which was half of that. Â Do the math, Yelpers.
"Home of the Buy Two Gyros or Go Home Special."
Remember when your mom always used to loudly admonish you with (insert high pitched voice) "You'll spoil your appetite!"
She was talking about this place. Â Don't even think of coming here for the Buy one get one free deal if you're having a late lunch. Â That is, unless you're planning on a late dinner.
Star off because the Staff needs some work. Â Little tough to order in-between the girl's story of getting wasted at a party last weekend on vodka and then lying to her mom about being at home for church the next morning. Â Also there's no where to sit. Â This should probably be more stars off but those gyros are good.
This place is as equally appalling as it is alluring. Trekking up to this seedy locale, there usually seems to be a small swarm of bums and crackhead types, however Mr. Gyros maintains it's equilibrium with the presence of drunk yuppies that stumbled over from the Rush and Division bars. The food is cheap and satisfying. The buy one, get one free Gyros meal is a delight. Suprisingly, the tacos and burritos are one of the most delicious items on the menu. The corn tortillas give them a tasty, authentic flavor. The guy who seems to be in charge(owner, manager?) is pretty personable and usually will strike up a conversation with anyone who walks in. Thankfully, a year or two ago, Mr. Gyro's removed the seating booths inside so that seedy people don't seem to linger anymore and now it's more of a grab 'n go kind of place. Eating here is like taking a step into a black hole and wondering what the hell you've gotten yourself into, only to find the reward was worth the risk, light and glory awaits you. Â 3.5 stars
Review Source:Needed a snack before going out drinking. Wanted something cheap. Saw tacos for $1.95 each. Had no expectations when I ordered two chicken tacos, no sour cream. Guess what? The service was fast and the tacos were great. Big thick pieces of chicken, lots of salsa and not too much cheese on nice, warm tortillas. A great, cheap place before (and probably especially after) a night of drinking.
Review Source:Greasy- check
Open late- check
Buy one gyro sandwich, get one free- check
That being said, it's not in the nicest of areas, but I always used to get it on my way home from the Clark/Division red line stop when it was late. Â Avoid the BYGO deal unless you have someone to share with (or else you may be tempted to try and eat both... not a good idea).
The 2 Gyro's for 6.99 sounded great at first. We paid $10 and instead of giving us 2 dollars and change, the worker said " here is your change , and 2 for me" putting $2 in the tip jar and basically trying to rob us. What are we in Cancun Mexico.
I had to reach into the tip jar just to get my change back. After I do so I hear, "what is it passover?"
Guess I'll just go to the gyro place up the street next time since the food isn't anything special.
I'm actually astounded this place only has 10 reviews. Â As far as I know, there is no other place around to get true drunk food in the area. Â This place is usually packed after the bars let out, filled with girls missing heels and loud guys hitting on the girls missing heels. Â
The food is alright, its a grease joint so you can't really expect five star food. Prices are fair considering they could probably charge a lot more to the drunk masses.
Thank you Mr. Gyros for the hangover food! I've come to you countless number of times with a headache and a craving for grease. You have come through for me no matter what!
In all seriousness, their food isn't that great, but its not bad. 2 Gyros for like 6 bucks! Yes please. Mr. Gyros, you are not too bad at all.
Lamb...tomatoes...onions...soft pita...and two for the price of one?! Â Hell yeah! Â This is the joint where my friends and I would get our late night munchies snack after a night of drinking, dancing, or whatever else. Â Guess it helps that it's open 24/7. Â Just be careful..it IS on Clark & Division so customers range from drunk college kids to hungry homeless people. Â
Added bonus..actual Greek people work here!
This place is by no means a destination of choice if I want a top-notch gyro (I would much rather travel to Greektown). However, when it is 2am and we're wondering why we went to Bar Chicago in the first place.... and that little pizza place right next door is jam packed.... Mr. Gyros is a little down the street, on my way home, and not nearly as crowded. The fries are greasy and the fried mushrooms are cooled enough to eat by the time I walk back home.
Review Source:Reasonable prices and good food is my opinion of Mr. Gyros.
I had the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich along with the double cheeseburger. Total was 8.12
The breakfast sandwich is not like your typical breakfast sandwich that you would find at McDonald's. They used soft toasted white bread, real eggs, and sausage links to make a very tasty breakfast sandwich.
The double cheeseburger was great too. It was fairly pedestrian in its appearance and composition, but it definitely hit the spot. For the price you can't complain!
They might be closing soon; I saw a "for rent" sign posted in the window.
This place is open 24 hours so you can satisfy your hunger during those wee hours of the night, although I think you might want to steer clear of the greek chicken, pizza, and rice. They look as though they've been sitting in that pan all day.
In my opinion, Sammy's Red Hots a few blocks west gets the edge on pricing (all their sandwiches include fries), but Mr. gyro's has better burgers, plus they're open 24/7 and breakfast is served all day. Give this lace a try before it closes down.
The prices are pretty reasonable. Â It's about $6.50 for a gyro, fries and a pop. Â The pop is RC, which is not the best. And the fries don't have much flavor or much else to them. Â The sauce and meat is inconsistent. Â Sometimes it's burnt little chunks and the sauce is watery, other times it is perfect. Â But in any event, if it is 3am and I've been drinking it definately does the trick.
Review Source:Mr. Gyros...how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
ONE...I love your 2 for $5.99 Gyros...mmmm...so yummy! Â So greasy...umh...just go light on the unions and heavy on the sour cream please. yes, I will take an orange Gatorade with that, homes.
TWO... I love your $3.99 Egg Omelets with hash browns, sausages, toast, and coffee. Â Oh..you are so kind to my wallet
THREE...I love your $4.75 italian beefs with the extra spicy sauce...mmm-mmm..so good....add cheese fries please..OH WHAT A LATE NIGHT DELIGHT
FOUR...I love your 2 for $3.75 hotdogs with the chili peppers, fries, and a small drink. Â Mmm-mmm...YUMMY in my TUMMY!
FIVE...have I mentioned I love...LOVE YOUR CHEESE FRIES?
But most of all I love the non-working payphone you have duck-taped on the wall with the missing cord; the crackheads and winos who greet me with toothless smiles when I enter your doors, and  flank me on all sides when I leave, asking if I have "change 4-RAY dollar please" and then say, "give it to me"...without offering up the dollar bill they so gingerly hold in their hands in exchange; I love the 2 separate counters you have to speedily serve Chicago's finest picking up their moneygrams and cashing their checks to then hand it all back to you in exchange for lotto tickets and of course...SMOKES!
IS THIS LOVE, you ask?
No, Mr. Gyros, it's just my stomach talking on a very drunken night;
When the cash is low and the budget's kinda tight;
But no worries because Mr. Gyros's in sight;
And the food's not healthy, but tonight it 'll be alright!
Down the hatch..and it tastes so right ;-)
My stomach's thoughts on a very drunken night.
Hahahee...
Seriously though, this is a great place to get cheap, greasy food to quiet those 5AM hunger pangs after a long night of club-hopping. Just remember to ignore the homeless....or else they'll follow you around to no end or until the undercover vice cops haul them away.
**Accepts major credit cards
It's dirty, it's sketchy, there are homeless people hanging out outside and inside, it has greasy food that you will likely regret eating in the morning, but it's one of my favorite late-night-I'm-drunk-and-need-some-cheap-greasy-Âfood-before-I-pass-out hole in the wall kind of places in the city.
If you're hungry for some grease at the end of a long night of partying on Division Street, you just have to take a walk on the dark side and hit Mr Gyro's. Â It will not disappoint!
Mr Gryos may be greasy, may give you a heart attack, may cause you to be asked for money by some crackheads, and may even make you feel sick the next day. Â What won't it do, however? Â It won't break your bank and you'll probably walk out with an amusing story or 2. Â This place is located right next to the skeeziest hotel in the area - I forget it's name but that's not even important. Â There's always suspicious people hanging around the corner of Clark & Division, but that's part of its charm. Â Mr Gyros fits right into that charm. Â You always get buy one get one free slices of pizza, gyros, and other such delicious greasy goodness. Â I can't promise that you won't regret it when your stomach is churning the morning after, but I can promise that this is the premiere greaseball place in the area.
Enjoy!
