Mickey’s Gyros

I went to Mickeys to get a gyro sandwich and ended up with a greasy, flavorless glob! Even the sauce was bad. I can’t believe this restaurant can still be open this long serving crap like this. I promise I’ll never go here again!

I come here often and the food is always good. My favorite is the gyros sandwich with feta. Very good sized portions. Service is always good. Staff is very friendly.

Great food! Huge portions. The owner is great. This is a must go to! It’s very clean b

the best food around. the burgers are so darn good the mickeys burger is insane. the ribs are great and so are the gyros, and your not spending your life savings at the place.

Just wanted to update my review. Three plus years later and we are still coming back! Never, ever had a problem with anything here! Kudu’s to the owner, manager and staff!

Gyros are very good! I have been to this location three different times and had great food. Next time, I’ll venture out of the menu but I do appreciate consistency.

The worst Gyro I’ve ever had. For a place with Gyro in its name you’d expect a great group. The meat has these weird hard black bits in it. Maybe it’s like a seasoning or something. Whatever they are they’re really hard and kind of have a crunch. The tzatziki sauce was more cucumber then sauce.
It was a bit over priced for the quality. For price of the gyro and fries I would have at least expected fresh cut fries and not frozen crinkle cut fries.
Place was nice, well lit and the staff was great. Just pass on the gyros.

The broiled tilapia is rrrrreally delicious. It was crispy with great flavor. The salad was fresh n crispy too. I tried the chicken gyro without bread. It was really good. Ive had one that was slightly better, bit this one is solid. Hard to judge without the pita too. The meat dipped in honey mustard was excellent. Their honey mustard is so delicious. I will definitely return here. Must try the tilapia.

Love this place. Free refills. Reasonable prices too. The french fries are crunchy n awesome. Friendly staff and great service. Recommend

The food is good, and the service is mediocre. So i give this place 3stars and a half. It was really close to getting 4 stars.

Food was everything you’d expect and more but the service is what makes it 5 stars instead of 4

Worst Italian beef ever. Of course I blame myself because I know this is not known for a good Italian beef restaurant. But being close to home I didn’t wanna drive all the way to portillos. I was like couldn’t be bad… I should’ve just made that drive to portillos. Beef was so dry and chewy and so thick. It was thick like it was meant for a gyro. The bread was tough to pull. My appetite was gone before half way finishing.

This place is a solid neighborhood gyros and burger joint. Their gyros are the best in the area and they really load up the meat for you. The «big mickey» ¹⁄₃ pound burger makes this place my new go-​to burger joint (sorry portillos and patio). I’m not a big fan of fried chicken but their chicken tenders are good! If you want something on the lighter side, try their Greek chicken salad — this one is tasty and will fill you up because it has a good portion of grilled chicken on it. Fries are nice and crispy just how I like them. Everything on the menu is pretty cheap as well which is a plus!

Gyro and pizza puff. Pizza puff was good.
Gryo was ok, prefer to have the meat a bit more charred. Tetziki sauce was ok, too
It was ok

I love Mickey’s, There hot dogs are great, as well as the polish, and izza puffs. The best thing on the menu for me is the poor boy. I have never had a bad meal here. I always go through the drive through. I always get hot, fresh food, and extremely friendly service.

My husband and I came in for a late lunch over the weekend. The place inside could use an update but I guess it added to the whole hometown diner feel. I was overwhelmed by the amount of choices on the menu, but finally decided on the Grecian chicken salad. My husband had the gyro and we got a shrimp dinner special to share. The amount of food that we received was intense! My salad was huge with big chunks of chicken and feta and their house Greek dressing was delicious. The gyro was yum too. My only gripe was the fried shrimp, they hadn’t been cleaned properly and every shrimp still had that gross black nerve thing going down its side. I will probably come again but will not order the shrimp. The rest of the food was good and everyone working their was very pleasant.

Mickey’s never fails to satisfy my craving for gyros. However, while the ribs were very good, the BBQ chicken was mediocre.

The Gyro is delicious. The meat is carved very thin, the sauce has shredded cucumber, raw onions, and tomato slices on top of a warm pita bread. The regular size is a very hefty sandwich. The Jr. portion is just right and comes with a side of fries and fountain drink. The cheese burgers are done nicely. Keep in mind when you get a cheese burger with everything, it comes with pickle slices, keptchup, mustard, and grilled onions. You can customize how many burgle patties you would like (single, double, triple).

I’ve tried this place on a few occasions. It’s another typical crappy midwest greasy spoon that orders in frozen generic food and recooks it. I’m a huge fan of hole in the walls but most of the ones in chicago area could have the same name and be one chain because of the mediocre and overly priced food.
One of the times I went the owner was chatting up a pair of young girls and barely payed attention to us while we ordered. It seems these places are usually ran by sleezy men.
In short the food is mediocre and overly priced.
P. s. they have coupons nearly every week as well. Usually saving you a whole 50 cents on a 5 or 6 dollar meal.

I was very happy to see a familiar place from my south-​suburban upbringing move into the defunct Arby’s on Route 53. The frontage in that area was starting to look like a ghost town. Mickey’s has several other locations dotting the southland.
I’ve been here twice, both dine-​in experiences. They do have a drive-​through option, but since the food is made to order, I’m not sure how the drive through is actually very convienet. The interior is clean, semi-​comfortable, with seating for about 35 people. Two big screens are in the corners, usually tuned into some sort of sports.
Service here is great. You walk in and order at the counter; the menu is rather extensive for such a small place (Gyros, BBQ, hot dogs, burgers, beef sandwiches, ect…), but you never feel rushed to make a decision. After you place your order, you get a number, seat yourself, and they bring the food out to you. What I aprreciate the most, is that the cashier will come up with the best possible way to ring up your order. Perhaps you were unaware of combos; they will ring you up for them automatically, instead of all ala carte like ordered. I like the honesty.
My first meal here consisted of the fried chicken dinner. I know they come in sizes, and I’m not sure which one I ordered. I do know there was a lot of food. Large pieces of chicken, cole slaw, crinkle cut fries, and some BBQ sauce on the side. The chicken was OK; better than the Jewel deli, but not quite good as Brown’s. The BBQ sauce was good, very tangy.
Second time, I had the gyros plate. I’m sure the gyros sandwich would have been more than enough. The plate is just massive amounts of food. It comes with 2 pitas, a pile sliced onions and chopped tomatoes, lots of cucumber sauce, and some feta cheese. Crinkle cut fries, and a mound of gyro meat that rivals Mt. Olympus. (Well, maybe not that much, but you get my point.) The meat is good, very tender, flavorful and fresh.
I liken this place to a alternative to Portillos. They have a similar meu, but yet Mickey’s is way more affordable, without that machine-​like atmosphere. I know I will find my way back here again, since I live down the road. I’m going to have to swing in to get a Chicago-​stlye dog, and updated this review Dan B. style!
