Athens Gyros — Restaurant in Rich Township

Spending money while I'm out in Monee!

Price: A bit higher in price since everything is a single dish & not a combo. Philly Steak was $10 while a large chili cheese fries is around $11. 3/5

Customer Service: Right on time with no issues. 5/5

Pizza Puff: Appearance - Nice golden brown. Perfectly fried. Can't get much better. 4/5

Taste - Your standard Pizza Puff. Has good chunks of sausage and the cheese was perfectly melted 4/5.

Chili Cheese fries: Appearance - Again the fries are perfectly golden brown. Whoever is working the fryer definitely knows how to use it. Standard nacho cheese paired with an above average chili. Definitely not hot dog chili as it has plenty of beans & meat. A sprinkle of onions & herbs would make it look above average. 3/5

Taste - I can't lie these are the best chili cheese fries I've had in a while. Everything is fresh & meshes well from the nacho cheese to the chili. The addition of the beans is just great as it leaves nothing to be desired. Not to mention the proportion is huge. Definitely meant to be shared with others, but will leave you craving more. 4/5

Philly Cheese Steak: Appearance - Oh boy that is a hearty sandwich if I've ever seen one. The mushrooms, onions, peppers & mountain of meat...I love it all. They put their heart & soul into this one which means I'm gonna enjoy it. A bit on the moist end as the bread is soaked as if they poured beef juice on it & greasy as well. 4/5

Taste - This... is good. It literally falls apart in your mouth & excites your taste buds. There's a ton of ingredients so expect a lot to fall out as you grab it. Everything is cooked perfectly. You get hints of mayo in almost every bite & the meat is seasoned to perfection. 5/5

Overall Athen's Gyros has a lot going for it. It's rare to find a place that actually knows how to fry things. They seem to pride themselves on their giant proportions & that is evident in what they serve. Even the pizza puff seemed larger than average. A few small adjustments could send them over the top, but I definitely look forward to actually trying their gyros.

Pops Italian Beef & Sausage, 18328 Governors Hwy, Homewood, IL 60430.... that's where I wish I went last night and where you should go for this type of food. I enjoy Pops because it's delicious and reasonably price for this type of food. Pops has more options for kids too- not just appetizers. I can tell you right now that Athens charges $2 more than pops on fries, mozzarella sticks, and pizza puffs- that's a fact. And they taste about the same. This location was just okay...just okay. Not worth the money they are charging I paid $45 for $15-$20 tasting food. Cashier gave some other patrons walking in (after I made my purchase) 10% off for their attention 🙄👀 right in front of me and confidently. I looked at the dreadhead kid and he lol was not ashamed. Whatever. Wont return. I know where I...

So I have a seemingly bottomless stomach. I've ordered the gyros platter before, a burrito, and the patty melt. The gyros platter was my first encounter with this restaurant. I ordered through UberEats and my food arrived, I opened the door and the driver gave me my food. Unbeknownst to me, I didn't fully realize the portion sizes you get for the price. The container with the gyro platter must've been like 10 pounds. My aforementioned 'bottomless stomach' couldn't finish it all (I also lost motivation after I spilt tzatziki all over my desk.) Weeks later I order the burrito, figuring it was JUST an innocent burrito. I was wrong. It was a monster of a Mexican delicacy.

So tl;dr: Large portion sizes Quality /tasty food Good location Delivery service(s)...
