Reviews for Backyard Grill in Chicago, IL
This is my third time eating from this restaurant. I originally found out about this place through colleagues as I work close by... at a university in the area. Today was my first time coming in person. Although I experienced the food being pretty good, Iwasn?t impressed by the customer service. The manager/owner definitely made me feel unwelcomed. While waiting to order, beacknowledged, no greeting, no smile, low energy. It was very much a transaction and sent me on my way type of thing. I willnever order from here again. Energy and great customer service can take you a long way. I?m not sure if he was having a bad dayor hate that he works there. He was definitely giving me the energy of I?m just here because I have to and I don?t want to bebothered. I do hope that there?s improvement moving forward. Read more
This is one of the best, if not the best. Everything I have had here is great. Sandwiches, ribs, etc, all good food in nice... proportions. The cups they give you could be larger but otherwise no complaints. Read more
Some of the best gyro sandwiches in Chicago. The meat was savory and juicy. The rice and potatoes were nothing but perfect.... Amazing delicious food for a decent price. Read more
Chicken gyro was okay, it had a lot of meat. Wish they gave another Pita with all the meat they had.
The staff is very friendly! The best gyros in the world. I would recommend this restaurant 10/10
It was recommended to me by a friend of mine named Leo... I have driven by this place for years... So, we thought we would go... inside and grab a quick bite and try out the place... We ordered a grilled cheese and a couple of burgers and I must say theburgers were great... I ordered the Southwest burger with avocado, bacon, Chipotle mayo, etc and it was really good and it's agood size... The place was clean and the staff was friendly...The price is reasonable and we will definitely be back... Read more
Backyard Grill offers a varied menu that includes typical fast food fare as well as Greek items, pasta and ribs. Hot dogs are... very good here. Burgers start with a decent quality patty but don't otherwise stand out. I was looking forward to trying fetafries but was disappointed in the result. They ended up being basic French fries with cold, hard, crumbled feta sprinkled ontop. I think the Greek menu items are where they stand out. Their spinach pie is fabulous. I'd like to try their ribs and pasta,not sure what those are like. Parking is free in the lot here and there is a good amount of indoor seating available. Read more
Outstanding wide array of food menu - skewers are very tasty, spinach pie is incredibly rich, and salad is very fresh. Having... said, staff is not exactly friendly and, while free style soda machine with over 100 drinks is nice, $3 is a bit much. Also,prices are not listed on the menu so you won?t know how much your meals will cost until you are paying, which seems a bitdeceptive. Read more
