BEST GYROS IN CHICAGO!!! Make sure you get a side of garlic fries because you won't find them anywhere else!!! So glad they are open via drive thru during this pandemic too!

We didn't go in but the drive through. Family of 3 and we all were able to get what we wanted. And there were many other good options as well. My burger was delicious, and the fries were too. Just thought it was weird that the turkey sandwich meal didn't come with a drink. Definitely plan on going back though.

I love that they’ve kept the same integrity in their food and haven’t replaced it with cheaper tasteless solutions. I’ve been going here since the early 90’s. One of the originals of Calumet City that still has great customer service and food. Every time I’m in town, I stop by.

If you’re looking for a quick bite to eat for good food then Panos is a place to check out. Their prices are very reasonable too. I stopped by and picked up a gyro and an Italian beef, they definitely packed in the meat on both sandwiches. Their drive thru service was very fast.
