Sweet Home, Chicago! Moving out of Chicago was never in the cards for me. Many years ago, when I needed to relocate for work, I knew absolutely nothing about Cincinnati. I grew to like Cincy very quickly. Not so much for the food (pizza and strange stuff they called "chili") but I all around felt like I was at home. I was also surprised that I never really found myself all that homesick either. I mean, I could always call my friends and family.....but there was one thing...... I can't call a Hot Dog or a Pizza! Now if I want good Pizza, I make it myself (Sorry, Cincy. Your Pizza game sucks.). But if I want to get a couple of good Chicago Style Hot Dogs, or other "Beef Joint" menu items, Chicago Gyros and Dogs brings a little home to me here in Cincy. Focusing on the dogs and fries, they've got it down. Whenever I get that urge, I drive the 25 - 30 minutes South to get those Vienna Beef hot dogs, trimmed perfectly with all the right condiments. I've had the Italian Beef once before and I'd have to give that another run. It wasn't my favorite, but maybe worth a second try. I do feel like I'm at a real Chicago "Beef Joint", back home. With the exception of one thing, but I completely understand it - Not a whole lot of Chicago Sports Team representation. I know you're in Cincy, but come on..... it's Chicago Gyros and Dogs! Would I go back? Yeah I would. As often as possible. In fact, I'm glad it's as far away as it is, otherwise I'd be there too much. I grew up at my Grandfathers diner/donut shop that was located on the Wrigley Field grounds, right in front of the stadium. So, with that, Vienna Beef dogs, Polish and beef were all we knew. Any reputable "Beef Joint" had that unmistakable yellow Vienna Beef sign in the window. Growing up in Chicago, your favorite pizza place or beef joint were the ones closest to your house. There are literally hundreds of each in all of Chicagoland. Maybe thousands. They all might have their own slight nuance or "thing", but the thing they all have in common is that they're delicious. Way to bring it to Cincy!

I love this place, Great Food and Great Service. The only place when you are close to UC

Chicago Gyro is a staple food for a number of UC students. That being said, the portion sizes are great for a fairly inexpensive gyro and the service is always very kind. My typical order is the standard gyro and it never fails to be a highlight of my day. Very meaty, very saucy, very yummy! When I order from Chicago Gyro, I normally take it home but it is worth noting that this is one of the few places in the area that has its own parking lot. That paired with two entrances and a lot of space makes for a pleasant dining experience. Nothing formal but a great place to take friends on a more casual outing.

One of the best gyros in Cincinnati . The staff is always friendly and fast . Food is always top notch . Love coming to Clifton , you get that city vibe without being downtown . Definitely try if you're in the area.

Finally made my way over for the first time! I was happy to see so many food options. It gets busy during lunch, but the wait was reasonable. I kept it safe and ordered a chicken gyro. It was a great choice. They gave so much meat, and the sauce was everything. My only complaint is the brownie. It was cold and dry in different areas like it came out the freezer. I'll probably get a cookie next time instead. Other than that, can't wait to return and try their burger which also looked amazing.

Can I get the taste of Chicago without the traffic and five hour car ride? Yes, you can at Chicago Gyros and Dogs!! There are other places that do gyros and "Chicago dogs "but only here are you transported to Chicago with every bite. And for those of us trying to lose a few or trying a healthier route this restaurant is still an option, they have salads with all the fix ins but for less calories.(see picture) Tips to make your visit a success: 1) Prepare for them to be busy. I have always waited for my food here and it's not because their slow or shorthanded, I mean who isn't nowadays, but primarily it's due to the fact that they are popular and people love their food. So steady your mind and senses for the wait ahead. The smells alone will have your mouthwatering. 2) Explore the menu. If you're not familiar with Greek food then study the menu before deciding if you'll give this place a shot. They serve many items and truly there is something for everyone here. I try to dig into something new on the menu every time and lo and behold every time I am pleased. Get your taste of Chicago here!!
