I loved Halal Guys when I first tried it in Chicago. I was excited to see there was a nearby location in Countryside. Ample parking. The only thing that sucks is trying to get out with all of the frequent flow of traffic. They could use another stoplight over here. Service was very friendly and helpful. I had the combo with beef gyros and chicken. Meat was warm, not hot. Both kinds of meat had flavor, they just needed to be fresh. The pita slices were also lukewarm. Rice was okay. Decent food but could be a lot better.
On our family trip to Midwest, drove around 800 miles, everyone hungry so I searched for Halal food and surprisingly Halal Guys popped up and without second thoughts we all went and got our favorite food from halal guys but it was very disappointing, Halal guys are completely soiling their name and reputation by opening all these restaurants everywhere with zero quality & no flavor.
Ive been hooked on to halal guys back in NYC on 6th ave & 53rd street when I used to drive yellow cab 20 years ago they were awesome and they still are awesome we absolutely adore The Halal Guys but sorry to say they are loosing the touch and mostly flavors, all these people working in halal guys shops have absolutely no idea of what halal guys actually are, they are ruining their reputation.
I gave 2 stars for the love we have for The Halal Guys.
I have been going to this place since they opened in chicago downtown first location. How can I forget NYC style Number 1 street food of The Halal Guys with their great service and freshness? But I am going to miss only original location from NYC afterwards few bad experiences with their franchise own location in Countryside, ILLINOIS. My visitlast Sunday on 17th March’2024 around 4:43PM very disappointed about their service and food quality as they don’t have loyal employees to serve and take orders. Employee wanted to pass me their wrong already prepare order as I even didn’t order that menu item, so you pay what they cook bad for you..Unprofessional, lack of communication skill and poor food preparation skill proves their closure soon as many service businesses surviving currently in bad time. Owner should take step forward or plan for permanently closure.
Terrible Chicken platter. I'm not coming here again. I asked for chicken not chicken fat. The chicken has zero flavor. The rice has zero flavor. Stay away from this place.
I was here in June 23’ ordered the beef gyro platter. The food was tasting good but I noticed that there was hair in my gyro meat. Not 1 or 2 piece but 17+ from what I counted. Almost as if the chef was intentional about it. I notified the cashier and she was apologetic unlike the chef. Very nasty experience. Pictured is a small amount of what I noticed.
I drove 45 min today to get a combo platter. I have been driving to this countryside location for some time now, food is always amazing and service is great. Today however I was highly disappointed. I picked up 3 combo platters for me and my husband,we like to have extra to eat again the next day. I'm not sure if management has changed or if they've changed suppliers but the food is not the same! The gyro meat was cut into big chunks almost as if they just broke up a kabob. The chicken use to be cut smaller and thrown on the flat top or something to give it a little color, today I received pale large boiled cubes of chicken. The pita was hard and the veggies that I did get (didn't get any onions or green peppers) looked like they were sitting around for some time soggy lettuce and mushy tomatoes. While I was eating I bit into a chunk of tomatoe that almost tasted like a lemon very sour,I tossed everything in the trash after that. I was so disappointed ìn today's meal overall, I would not eat there again.
I used to get halal guys a lot in the city and it was really good so I was excited to see there was one out here in the suburbs by my house. The staff is friendly but for some reason the meat never tastes fresh at this location. Have it a few chances and every time it tastes like the chicken and gyro meat were heated leftovers from the previous day. Very disappointing they could be doing much better
The food was not fresh except the lettuce. You can tell it's reheated food from yesterday. The rice didn't have that fresh, hot, steamyness to it. The gyro was definitely not fresh cut from the pit. I wasted a good 20min driving here. The chicken is flavorless just like their rice. The white sauce makes it good but the quality of this place is in the toilet. I think some of the locations are really struggling so they are using old food instead of making it fresh. I will never come back here. Compared to Pita Inn's flavor this place should get negative stars. Absolutely wasted $15 on this place for the platter. Half the platter was lettuce. I know inflation is high and they are trying to get by so I can't blame them 100% for that.
