They have awesome Gyros that is filled with meat. Usually, places tend to be cheap and don't give you much meat, not here. I love the tzatziki sauce, it is nice and creamy with a hint of tartness. Â I always ask for extra sauce and extra onions. You might want to avoid me until I find a toothbrush.
They also have some amazing Italian beef, juicy- not greasy.
Best gyros in the region. Hands down. If you grew up in the area or know anyone from the region ask them..they will probably agree.
I honestly dont remember the last time I went here..probably when I was in high school. Didnt come back much during college and then moved away...well this Christmas I had an extra day and needed lunch. Munster Gyros was the first thing that came to mind. So glad I went.
This place has a pretty typical Chicago/midwest style lunch dive feel to it. Retro fast food booths and tables. Old school menu signs. Perfect.
They have all the Chicago staples on the menu..hot dogs, italian beef, and polish sausage. All pretty good..but cmon we all know the real reason why you are going to go here - GYROS. I go for the regular gyro combo with everything on it - tomatoes, onions, and that awesome tzatziki sauce. Come on a tasty pita with a side of fries and a drink. For about $6.50...great deal and alot of food. My friend got the BBQ gyro and LOVES it. I have yet to try it because I love the regular one so much. Maybe next time.
The staff is very nice too..what more could you want? I cant wait to come back next time I am in town.
My sister-in-law lives in Munster and Chicago. Â She was letting us stay at her place in downtown Chicago and was driving in to see us. Â She called and asked if we wanted gyros from Munster gyro. Â It's been a while since we've had a gyro from here and it is still great. Â Even after sitting in a car for 45 minutes, when I bit into the meaty gyro sandwich I smiled with a tzatziki mustache. Â
The gyros are some of the best around. Â I love it!!
Just had the gyros and a pop. Â My son had the burger meal. Â Everything was ok. Â They dont have any ketchup or napkins in any of the booths. Â We had to ask for them both. Â I thought that was strange. Â The guy taking the order reminds you of the soup nazi from Sienfeld. Â Start putting ketchup and napkins in the bag or booth. Â If they do this, I will give a higher rating.
Review Source:It would be a good gyros outside of Chicagoland. Too many other options to waste your time or money here. The fries were dry. The meat was dry and lacked flavor (comparably) . Don't get me wrong. I ate it, it tasted like a gyro there are just too many better options in the area to waste time here.
Review Source:Very good Gyros... Â Mediocre hot dogs... Â This is a typical greasy food gyros/hot dog/burger/italian beef and fries place... Â They keep napkins and ketchup behind the counter as if they don't want you to use them which to me was really weird. My order came with maybe 10 tasteless fries, which was really skimpy, so I didn't use ketchup anyhow... Â If you like Gyros, I would recommend this place but for anything else there are better places around...
Review Source:Normally I would give this five stars, but I have 2 major gripes that prevented a five star rating. First, the last time I was here must have been Johns day off because the usual customer friendly face was replaced by some crabby old man behind the counter who wasn't the least bit welcoming and fairly reminiscent of the Seinfield soup Nazi. I got no welcome, no greeting, only a stone faced stare and mere nods of confirmation as I placed my order and paid. After our transaction, there was no 'thank you' or 'have a nice day' he simply turned around and continued whatever he was doing before I obviously interrupted him. The only attention he paid me was to periodically turn and glare (and I mean glare) at my five year old daughter, with something that can only be described as a look of contempt from the minute we walked in to the minute we left with our to go order. Now I've seen obnoxious kids in public places and possibly had the same look of irritation when people I don't know fail to control their children in public, but trust me this was not one of those times. My daughters only offense seemed to be that she had brought in an ice cream cone she sat and quietly finished while we waited for our food. Â
Second, and this will always stick out in my memory, the last time I dined in house (which was several years ago) I ordered a meal. After waiting at the window for our food, my party and I took a booth and started to eat. It wasn't until we were there for about 5 minutes that a man from behind the counter approached the table. He said 'I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, but I made a mistake and that coleslaw does not come with your meal....' the coleslaw he was referring to was the  contence of a 2 oz paper solo cup. Dumbstruck, I handed over the tiny cup and watched the embarrassed man walk back into the kitchen with it (he was obviously forced to do this by someone higher up than himself because he looked as if he would die of embarrassment any second). Being in the food service industry, I can only pray that he did not serve said coleslaw to another person after being on my plate for a full 5 minutes at my table. For all he knew I had already eaten out of it, sneezed on it, or licked it for that matter. I honestly can not fathom the motivation in confiscating the 5 cent portion from my half consumed plate. Although this happened years ago, it has truly always tainted my memory and made me wonder what other questionable acts take place in the kitchen. Still best gyro in town, but you can bet the next time I see the soup Nazi behind the counter, i won't be staying to place an order...and I always pass on the coleslaw now.
Munster Gyros is one of the best places to eat in Munster. I've been going there since I was a kid and never had a bad meal there. The gyros are without question the best in the area, and the ribs are amazing. Prices are cheap considering the quality of the food, and the staff is very friendly. Don't miss out on this place.
Review Source:Simply the best gyros! Others are arguably as good - maybe? But, none are better! Meat is sliced as thin as gyros come and the sauce is perfect. Â The only place even close to this quality gyro is Rosie's in Oak Lawn. Â Gyros King In Downers Grove is also good, but still a distant 3rd for me. Â I stopped trying to find comparable gyros because they always fall short!
Review Source:Ask someone if they've been to Munster. If they're from the rest of Indiana, they'll ask you "MUNCIE?" but if they know about Munster, or Funster as I lovingly refer to this suburban sprawl, they know about Munster Gyros.
Munster Gyros is an institution of the best Greek fast food probably ever. I started eating gyros in 3rd grade, and have worked my way through the menu. Unlike some other places, the meat is never greasy, and the pitas  are grilled to perfection. The tzatziki is superb, so dip your fries in there too! The carry out service is super fast, and you get lots of food for a small price.
I never miss Munster Gyros when I'm back in town. John and the whole staff are always so nice, and it still shocks me that John remembers me from going to school with his son.
This is our absolute favorite gyros place ever.
They have a bbq gyros sandwich that is so amazing I crave it quite often and try to convince my hubby to eat here every time we're in the neighborhood.
The hot dogs, fries, and regular gyros sandwiches are also delicious.
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
You can't go wrong with anything you order from here.
Watch out, they're closed on Sundays (which is super sad because we tend to be back in Munster on a lot of Sundays).
It's nice to see that good things stay preserved despite the passage of time.
I was part of the Munster education system since Frank H. Hammond Elementary, all the way through Munster High School. Trends, fashions, even friends and family have changed, but one thing that (thankfully) hasn't is a tasty double cheeseburger with everything on it and an order of onion rings hot from the fryer for only six bucks.
But what makes Munster Gyros really great is how well everything has been preserved inside. It's a time capsule restaurant. The posters and decor haven't changed since I first had dinner there back in 6th grade with my family after making the honor roll for the first time. Even the two Johns have stayed the same, a little grey on top, but none the worse for wear.
Having dinner there last night after being away for nearly 16 years was a nice reminder of how great coming home can be.
It's tough to review places back in the 'ole hometown of Munster, Indiana because there is basically only one of everything (one car wash, one Catholic church, one donut place). Â Thus, ratings aren't all that useful because if you want a delicious gyro or a heart-clogging hotdog, Munster Gyros is the no-brainer place to go. Â There aren't four other street stands that only deserve 2 or 3 stars which you're comparing to this place.
Whatever. Â They make great (grease) food. Â If your desired meal involves meat + heat, you will undoubtedly find something(s) on their menu to fill you up.
I've been going to this place for years now. The best thing on the menu is the gyros platter. It's enough meat to feed me for three meals. Great meat, feta and tzatziki sauce all for a great price.
I've tried gyros from all the other so-called gyros shops in the area and can't find anyone that compares.
Munster Gyros has been a haunt of mine since 1985 when a pal told me how good of a restaurant they were.
We went in almost three times per week while I lived in the Region and honestly, they were the standard of gyros for me for two decades.
John and his partner do a bang up job with 90% of the menu items and while the portions have shrunk over the years, the quality still remains as good as I remember.
Only issue we ever had was the lack of napkins on your tray...always have to ask for more!!!!
the only gyros that can compare to these are at Oakland Gyros up in Milwaukee..... these things are huge....enuff meat for 2 sandwiches....loaded with onions and the zatziki sauce *spell check please* is awesome, house made.....great greek rotisserie chicken, basted with olive oil and lemon.....the fried chicken is good too, but the peices more the size of a cornish game hen than an actual chicken.......ribs not too bad either, but not something i would order again....good greek salad....... italian beef?  well you do get alot on it....but pretty dry....giardinera not in sight..... you have to ask them over an over to get them to dip it......the rest of the menu mostly the same avg stuff you get at any greek fast food place around....oh but the deep fried burrito is a guilty pleasure :-)   .....  about 6 tables inside seat 4 ...2 others seat 2 ....no drive-thru service......and if you dine in....right across the street is Munster Donuts for a great dessert  .... support local independent buisneses......
Review Source:I grew up around Munster, and grew to love Munster Gyros. Â I never had better, but eventually moved away and had to settle for the ones in Central IL. Â It's strange - after time, I more or less convinced myself that Munster Gyros really *wasn't* that great, and the ones downstate were pretty much just as good. Â The gyros couldn't really be THAT good, could they?
Well, in clear violation of my diet, I finally grabbed Munster Gyros again tonight. Â I shouldn't have - I'll need to eat nothing but salad tomorrow - but damn. Â Wow. Â It was worth it.
I'm a basic gyro guy. Â I like the meat, I like the pita, and I like feta cheese. Â I know it's crazy, but I skip the sauce and the veggies. Â I like 'em plain. Â I went ahead and ordered my favorite - the Gyro Plate and a drink.
Just like I remembered, I had enough meat and feta to fill, probably, 3 pitas. Â It was insane; the plate was almost overflowing with delicious-looking meat, cut straight from the spool. Â I dug in with a fork and - for lack of a better term - swooned. Â No, really, my eyes rolled up in my head like I was Rachael Ray or something and I just went, "...wow."
Yeah. Â The gyros were somehow even better than I remembered. Â I'm ruined on gyros, frankly. Â I just can't settle for the Central Illinois gyros again, at least not soon, and it's probably just as well. Â They're bad for me, after all.
About my only gripe is that this is probably the last remaining place in the country that doesn't give free refills on soda. Â This would normally drop a star off the rating, but since I can't give a six-star rating anyway, I guess five will have to work!
Looking for a good Gyro in San Diego is like looking for a Gay man in Iran, they just don't exist. Â It is obviously some sort of conspiracy among the Greeks in San Diego, or are there any real Greeks in San Diego at all?
I am worried it might be the latter. Â It is a scary proposition, but one I intend to look into further. Â I see the Cronos international and Grecian Delight posters on their restaurant windows, the ones with the most gorgeous woman ever holding the Holy Gyro, but I sense they are hiding something. Â
They are hiding a decent Gyro.
If there are real Greeks in SD I intend to find them through investigative eating. Â Untill then, I will have to wait for family reunions, holidays, and special occasions to return to my birthland and enjoy what is rightfully mine.
