Niro's Gyro's

Reasonably priced, big portions, tasty food. Is it Jean Georges?  No. Is it all you are looking for in this genre of restaurant? Yup. Thumbs up. PS: they've moved since this location was originally listed.

I'm not a calorie counter, but I try to eat as healthy as possible whenever I dine out. Buuut, sometimes you just feel like a gigantic gyro to blow your diet for the whole month. That was me this weekend. For some reason, gyros just popped into my head and so we stopped in at Niros. Niro's used to be further down the street, but is actually closer to Olivet now. (I can't find the actual new address to change the Yelp listing, but it's right next to Jimmy Johns & their address is: 225 South Main Street  Bourbonnais, IL)  I'm actually kind of surprised that they moved. This location is a lot smaller and has a lot less seating than the old location, BUT it's right across the street from ONU, so they'll be getting the hungry college kids, obvi it makes sense.

We ordered 2 gyros + a fry and drink and it came to $14.00. Not entirely bad for the ginormous gyro that was presented to me on an orange platter. Super greasy, super hot and super delicious. Next time, I'm going to ask for an extra pita cause they put a whole heckuva lot of meat on that little pita and I could definitely make that last 2 meals. Come here when you're not in a hurry. They make everything fresh so it can take about 10 minutes to wait for your food. Those 10 minutes are excruciating when you see someone else's gyro being delivered and the salivation that ensues that you can't stop.

The girls that work the front counter are really nice and patient too which isn't always the case with fast food, so I gotta give them a little shout out.

Stopped here while driving through Manteno on business. Awesome service, awesome food. Was a nice change from Subway and other fast food chains.
