1st off.....the parking is horrible. We had to wait 5 minutes just to pull out and leave because we were blocked in by the drive through liquorstore next door. So I suggest you park off to the side and walk over. I also recommend you phone your order in if you don't like waiting.
The young man at the counter was very friendly and took my order perfectly. I ordered the gyros platter with extra meat no onions and extra tzatziki sauce for my husband and a regular gyros no onion or tomato for myself again extra tzatziki sauce as well and an order of fries. I've never had falafel or stuffed grape leaves so I ordered both of them. I'm glad I did. They were both very good.
Our only major disappointment regarding the food was the way the meat was cut. Who ever shaved the meat off spit needs practice. My sandwich was nothing but little shaved pieces and my husband's sandwich was almost the same way. The meat was in such small pieces it kept falling out of our sandwiches. So we wound up eating most of the meat off our plates. And my sandwich didn't have much meat on it either.
Our other disappointment was the fries. They were somewhat under cooked and soooooo soggy. If you order them ask for extra crispy and put into a paper bag not a styrofoam box. We threw them away. You can't refry French fries. They come out way too greasy.
And finally, for desert I order some fresh made today rice pudding. I allow the young man taking my order to talk me onto to it. But sadly it was forgotten. However, I called them as soon as I realized it and he was very sorry, took my name and said when I come back he'll make up for it.
So all in all, good food, long wait time, bad parking lot. Oh and all that food cost $42.00. A bit expensive for a take out lunch in styrofoam boxes, in my opinion.
This place was a terrific find today while visiting our daughter. The customer service was some of the best i have ever experienced anywhere not to mention the food was spot on! The amount of attention that was paid to the details has made this place one of our new fav spots here!
I grew up in the neighborhood and seen the liquor store my entire childhood. Then I seen the restaurant next to it and had to try it. Service was great, food is delicious, I especially love their stuffed grape leaves. Everywhere I’ve been to gets them out of a can but here they make them fresh from scratch. Come in and try their food!!! You won’t be disappointed
Recently moved here from New York where you have your pick and choice of any type of cuisine. My son told me about Gyro 101. Their food is delicious and the owner was very accommodating and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some great Greek food. Did I mention the hummus? Best I’ve ever had!
A fantastic, friendly, family-owned restaurant.
Fresh ingredients, generous portions, at excellent prices!
