Love this place!! Always a good gyro! The guy that was working the cash register when I came in was super nice! His customer... service skills were above and beyond. Extremely nice to me and all the other people that were infront of me. They are alwaysreally quick too and consistent food! Read more
I was stuck in traffic and crawling when I saw their sign. Knowing that I was going to want to eat before I got to my... destination and not having had Gyros in a while, I decided to stop in and try them out. The place is highly utilitarian as youcan see from the interior picture. It is mostly set up for takeout service but they do have four table that you can sit and eatat, if you wish. Since I wanted to let the traffic rush die down, I elected to sit and eat in place. I gave my order to theharried teenager - who was also answering the phones and doing something in the kitchen - and sat down to wait. This is clearlya family run operation as besides the young woman who took my order, there was an older woman (mother?) and an older young man(older brother?) who were both working behind the kitchen counter. There was a steady stream of orders coming in via phoneorders, and they must have some sort of app ordering as well. I saw people coming in for pickup of various types - includingdelivery services. Aside from me, there was only one other couple who chose to each in the place. When my food was delivered,it was piping hot and fresh. The fresh cut fries were just the way I like them, but they did not salt them, and I did not seesalt packets or a shaker on the table. There was some sort of spice shaker there and I tried it, but I think it was paprika. Thegyro itself was a nice portion and had shredded lettuce, onions, and some sort of creamy dressing on it. I would have preferreda stronger flavored creamy dressing, but that's not their style apparently. Overall, it was a great value at less than $12 forthe whole meal, but not the best Gyro in the area. The meat was the same as you can get elsewhere, it's the overall package thatwas lacking. That, and the utter lack of charm, are the reasons for the three star rating. Read more
WOW, i?m really surprised there?s not more reviews on their gyro salad or grilled chicken salad! Seriously the BEST things on... the menu. LOVE the big chunks of Feta cheese & Pita with the gyro salad. The grilled chicken is DELICIOUS!! I?ve even enjoyedit just as a ?side? order. ? Side note: I think the ownership or something may have changed a year or so ago maybe. Or maybethe pandemic affected them? Either way, they were out of a few items a couple times I?ve gone and the workers seemed different.The guy rang me up wrong a few times. Read more
$34.20 for 2 gyros and 6 grape leaves. Way over priced. The gyros were great but the grape leaves tasted like they were... drenched in salt. I?m thinking it was a bad batch but their price just doesn?t make it worth me going there again. Disappointingwill not be going back. Read more
Gyro was large but the meat was kind of flavorless. Tzatziki sauce on it was very good. Fries were overcooked, soggy, loaded... with grease, and completely unsalted. Read more
Best gyro in the area hands down. Really awesome food here and the prices aren't that bad. Got the special, which had a gyro,... fries, and a soda, for $10. Great food. Really friendly staff, awesome lunch spot. Read more

Great service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place! Ihonestly can?t say enough pleasantries.. Overall, very impressed and my tastebuds are doing their happy dance. We willabsolutely be coming back! Read more
They sell very clearly and visibly spoiled food and "because no one complains" they don't care and won't fix it. For your... health DO NOT ORDER FOOD from here. My hummus was slimy and spoiled. I called to let them know and their response was to talkto grubhub. Additionally they missed multiple items in my order, the food was dry, the fries were unsalted and gross, and thedinner portions are laughable unless you like plain rice. Read more
