The gyros are to die for . The food is fresh and filling . It’s honestly the best I’ve had since being in Illinois. The Greek fries are out of this world . And don’t forget to get extra tzatziki sauce. The staff is extremely pleasant and everything is made to order so make sure you order ahead .

I stopped by Yanni’s, a cozy little Greek spot, and overall it was a pretty good experience. The gyro sandwiches were solid. The fries were on point too, nice and crispy. It’s nothing fancy, but the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, perfect for a casual meal. The only real downside was the falafel—it was super dry and just didn’t taste great. Service was quick though; I got my two sandwiches in about 10 minutes. I’d definitely go back for the gyros, but I’ll pass on the falafel next time.

Absolutely the best gyros around. The fries are amazing as well. Watch them fry them sometime and you will see there is more to it than dropping the basket. Then get the Greek fries for a whole new level of goodness. If that doesn’t blow your mind then go for the Spicy BBQ Gyro Pita Shoe. O…. M…. G.. The best thing when I worked in Springfield was being 1.5 miles away from here. I am going to miss going there once or twice a week.

After hearing how delicious the food is since moving here, I went, got 2 gyros to take home. Greeted with real smiles! I use a walker so Yanni helped me out, took my order to my car with friendly chat, such a kind gesture. I’ve tried Greek many places, by far best gyro ever, magic sauce. Come as you are to a comfortable atmosphere.

What a great place to enjoy a traditional Gyro, which is one of my favorites! This was my first visit, and I must tell you the Greek fries were delicious. They were crispy fries with a Greek seasoning blend sprinkled on top. They also sell a mini sandwich if you’re not starving. The place was nice and clean, even in the bathroom! The staff was very friendly. I will stop here every time I’m in town!

Everything I've gotten from here has been great. I love the gyro salad and the spicy BBQ gyro is so good. The Greek fries are the way to go when it comes to fries. And if you've never had a gyro horseshoe, you definitely eed to stop in and try one.

Wow! Amazing gyros! This hole in the wall is definitely worth a stop if you are anywhere near Springfield. One of the best gyros I’ve ever had for sure. They make the fries in small batches so you may have to wait a bit but they are delicious.
