The Royal Grocer & Co.

There isn’t a “Best Secretly Greek Restaurants In Chicago” guide, but if there was, this Bucktown spot would lead the pack. Hiding among Royal Grocer Co.’s burgers and wings , the Greek dishes are the tastiest things on the menu, like chunky pork gyros drizzled with tangy housemade tzatziki or crispy zucchini chips with buttery skordalia. The inside full of string lights and vintage art is fine if you want to sit at the bar or hate the sun, but the patio is an excellent way to enjoy the few warm months when we aren’t hermits. It’s like hanging out on a friend’s giant apartment deck, along with some regular Buctownites, families, and dogs.
