I've lived in the Chicago area my whole life and hands down the best gyros is at The Works in Glenview at Golf and Washington Rds. It's a bit far from Old Town, but if you find yourself in the burbs, you won't be disappointed. I just returned from Greece yesterday and the gyros at The Works are better than some I had in Athens and the Greek Islands.

I grew up in Skokie and have tried The Works and Nick's. They are both very good! However, my favorite place for gyros is Papa Chris, which on Touhy near Caldwell (across from the Leaning Tower YMCA on the border of Chicago and Niles.) Their gyros is great and plentiful and the service and friendliness of Nick, his sisters and their dad (Papa Chris) can't be beat!

I'm liking the gyros served at Hub's Restaurant on N. Clark St. between Catalpa and Bryn Mawr (on the W. side of the street) these days. No tossing the meat on the griddle to fry it here, as is done in probably the majority of places serving gyros in the city . . . it's cooked on the cone, sliced and served on pita that's been dipped in the drippings and griddled a bit first.

Oh my - I went vegan for Lent and gyros were the one thing I craved the most (which was weird because I haven't had a gyros in years prior to going vegan). I forgot about Hubs. Thank you for reminding me about their gyros! Looks like a walking trip is in the works this weekend.

You might want to be more specific as to neighborhood. The north side is a big place, and there are gyros places all over. I doubt that you want to travel, say, between Rogers Park and Lincoln Park for gyros. Especially if you're not eating them there, in which case getting them close by means they'll still be hot when you get home with them.
