Reviews
I really like their menu here although to many it may be just another Chicago style/Greek fare restaurant. That’s fine by me being I live for Chicago hotdogs, juicy burgers, Italian beef, gyros, fries, etc.
The food overall is really good here but the gyros are the bomb. We don’t have any Brandy’s locations up in Lake County (I live in Beach Park) but I sure wish we did!
If ever in the area again, I could definitely go for some tasty grub from Brandy’s. Wish for continued boomin’ business for decades to come for the owner(s).
When I was ready, I placed my order at the front counter since it is counter service. I ordered the gyro sandwich deal meal, which included with fries and a medium drink. I also ordered rice pudding, which was recommended by the cashier because I couldn’t decide between carrot cake and pudding.
After I paid, the cashier will issue me a receipt with the order number. The order number reference will be useful because they will announce it over the intercom when the food is ready.
I got the opportunity to observe the surroundings while I waited for my meal. Their furniture is obsolete, but it has been meticulously maintained and is in fantastic condition. Throughout the area, they have vintage decorations. The setting makes me feel comfortable and at ease.
The service is prompt, and my lunch arrived on schedule. The gyros sandwich looks appealing, and the pita bread was warm and soft. The meat is thinly sliced and the portion is considerable. The flavor of the meat is tasty, and it has a spongy texture. My only complaint is that the meat is oily. The cucumber sauce is fine, but it has a sour aftertaste that I detest. It’s garnished with fresh raw onions and sliced tomatoes for color and flavor.
The rice pudding is already prepared in a plastic cup, but they claim it’s homemade, so I’m excited to assess it. The rice is just right, neither too firm or mushy, to give the pudding some texture. The pudding is creamy and mildly sweet. It tastes like condensed milk with a tinge of spice from the ground cinnamon. It’s a basic, casual dessert that I didn’t expect to like.
Delicious gyros,I always like to have it with extra sauce since there is a lot of meat on the gyro.
The owners are darling. Fresh food. So many food options too.
