Customer Reviews

"Little Village Grill has the best burgers, pitas, gyros, and fries! Seriously, the fries are legit. Friendly staff and the location for #2 is very convenient. Also went to the old school location #1 in Gateway. Parking was easy right in front of the restaurant. Food was phenomenal, just like it was 15 or so years ago. Best burgers, gyros, and FRIES!!! My son thinks the chicken pita is the best in town! Thanks for serving us and we'll be back soon!"

"Great little sandwich shop next to the university. I arrived a little after noon and the line was out the door. Not to worry, the service was quick and efficient and before I knew it, I had my food. The gyro with beef and lamb was delicious. There were a few small tables indoors and a couple of larger ones outside. Fast, tasty, and reasonably priced!"

"I had heard really good things about this place. I'm trying to go to all of the Yelp top 100 restaurants for 2018, and since this was in the top 10 it seemed like a good time to try it! There's a ton of construction so getting there is harder than usual, but we just parked in the parking garage attached to the building. You can only get into the garage on the back side of the block right now. It's definitely a take out place, but we decided to eat there at the couple of tables they have. Orders come out fast. We probably waited about 5 minutes for ours. We got a traditional gyro as well as a falafel pita. Then we got a side of regular fries and chili cheese fries with baklava for dessert. The gyros were delicious. I liked the traditional more than the falafel (the falafel wasn't quite as flavorful or crispy as I like). I would say it was the one of the best gyros I've had. The fries are also amazing. I preferred the regular ones - they didn't need the chili. Likewise, the baklava was delicious. You definitely can't beat the price. We got a ton of food and it was all about $15. I would highly recommend checking this place out for some great, cheap, quick food!"

"Small Hidden Gem in the downtown area. Ordered the Doublecheese Burger and Pork Gyro (Gyro didn't make it long enough to be in the picture). One of the BEST burgers I've had. Meat is seasoned to perfection. Pork gyro was taste-bud awakening for sure. The food was so good, that we ended up buying another Doublecheese Burger. The manager Meschac was EXCEPTIONAL. On top of everything and very courteous. My only con about this place is that the place is small, only 3 tables inside and 2 outside. Hope they can outgrow and have more space in the near future."

"Fast delicious Greek style food. Some of the crispiest and we'll seasoned fries ever. Very friendly people. Great hole in the wall. It's very cheap and has a lot of warm flavors for you to enjoy."

- Kasper M.

"I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The food is always hot and consistent. My favorite go to for lunch is the chicken sub. It reminds me of the subs from bodegas in NY. They have the best fries too. The young man at the counter is always friendly and in good spirits. The prices for quantity is def a plus. It's always clean."
