Yannis Gyros — Restaurant in Illinois

We were passing through Springfield around lunch time and my husband looked up restaurants on the iExit App. Definitely recommend getting the app. It has Yelp reviews listed with each business.

We happened upon Yannis due to their high reviews and we love Greek food.

It was a great stop. I got the Gyro and a side of Dolmas with extra Tzatziki. Every single thing I ate was perfect.

My husband ordered the gyro horseshoe. We aren’t from Illinois so we had no clue what a horseshoe was. Apparently it’s very specific to Springfield. It’s got the pita on bottom, then builds up like a tostada with gyro meat, tzatziki, french fries, queso, and others toppings. My husband was so excited to try something new & He loved it.

Yannis is a family-run establishment and they are really friendly. We will return the next time we drive through...

Hubby and I stopped in one our way through Springfield on a trip. An obvious established Springfield restaurant, it is rough around the edges, but absolutely worth the stop. We ordered a gyro basket with extra meat and a mini gyro basket. The portions are great! We could have easily shared a fry which we will definitely do next time. The gyro meat is so flavorful by itself then you add the zitti sauce and man o man that is one tasty gyro. Everything was made to order so it was fresh and so yummy. The prices are really reasonable especially the basket prices. We were told this place has a following and we can absolutely see why. We rolled in at 7pm so we had to eat on the trunk of our car because the dine-in was closed, but ya know I didn't mind a little picnic in the parking lot. Will definitely be back when we are...

The owner is a racist. I had parked to let my passenger pick up her order and leave. I was minding my business - waiting in my car - when a lady came up to me, asking if I could move my car for THEIR wheelchair passenger.

While I was considering it, that passenger said it was alright, "never mind, it's fine".

Then, this large guy came outside, barking, after a few minutes. He asked why I didn't move my car for them, throwing his arms around. As if I were obligated, and, mind you, there was no handicapped parking.

I am glad I have never patronised. Because of this incident,...
