The gyro platter, bursting with juicy seasoned meat and fresh accompaniments, delivers every bit of the classic Greek street food experience you crave.
Breakfast lovers are equally spoiled for choice.

An often-overlooked highlight is their sandwich selection—each crafted to impress. The German Melt layers breaded veal cutlets with sauerkraut and Swiss cheese on grilled dark rye, creating a luxurious melt that’s crisp, tangy, and savory.

I come straight to the counter anymore since I come here alone and service is quick with coffee on the spot and the waitresses and cooks and bussers hustle here!! Been coming here for years ever since my parents were regular customers. Great food and I love the moussaka (ground beef, egg plant, potatoes, zucchini cover with cream cheese)!!
A coworker told me that he hardly ever skips "New Petros Restaurant" when he is in Hammond, Indiana. And as he spoke to me, I thought to myself, "Can it really be that good??" So I gave it a try and ordered to go. I got "Spare ribs & sauerkraut." It was amazing! The quality of the food was "top notch." Along with the good price? It is the best deal in Indiana. Hands down. Straight outta Hammond!
Food is really good. The taco salad is HUGE! My potato was burnt but the fish was tasty. Great service. Nice people.
Brunch and Greek all in one place? Yes please. On this front, Petros delivers. Service was okay, the coffee was mid, but on the food you got great portions for the price. We were able to sub fruit for our potatoes as well, which we really appreciate. The omelettes were massive - they claim 5 eggs! This was one of the only times ever I have not been able to finish a brunch. I'll take my defeat and use my experience to warn others.
Petros Restaurant was a bit of a surprise to me. I had passed by this place many times before deciding to try it out. I am very glad I did! Offering delicious dishes for reasonable prices. I tried one of the specials they offered. "Las Vegas Special" absolutely delicious! This special came with a small salad, a grilled chicken breast covered with Spinach, Feta cheese and baked potato. Absolutely delicious and very filling! For $1.70 more you can get the dinner which includes a bowl of soup and a dessert! Tons of food! The service was good our waitress was friendly, attentive and very helpful. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable. Because of social distancing rules some tables and booths were blocked off. This did not take away from the friendly, welcoming atmosphere of Petros Restaurant. Try this place for some good food.
