price gauging  4 Star Rating - Very good

I have been going to Mr. Giros off and on for 8 years . The food is excellent but my last experience caught me fully by suprize. For only a sandwich and salad I a paid almost $10.00. Having not been in a year I asked them why the prices were so high and the said because of inflation. the price is more the 2.50 cents more than a year ago. Inflation is has not gone up 37% in one year. I really felt cheated this time around.

A disappointed customer

The Real Deal  4 Star Rating - Very good

I really like this place and have been visiting since they were on the east side of Metcalf ! Here's the deal: you walk in, order counter is to the right, menu board overhead with pictures of the specialities, pastries are under the glass counter, place order (cash/credit) and they call your number a few minutes later, self-serve beverages, seat yourself. The food is always good (I usually get the combination plate or daily special). If I have room left after lunch/dinner, I might get one of the great pastries. While eating you can watch the DVD travelogue of Greece. Very good food, you can get in/out quick for lunch, much better than "fast food" chains.

I love this place!  5 Star Rating - World class

We eat at Mr. Gyro's on average three times a week. The gyro meat has a great flavor and their Greek salads are excellent. The pasteries are scrumptous. They have a great operation at both locations. Chris and DeDe at the 135th and Antioch location are wonderful people and know how to attract customers with consistently excellent food. I've never seen a restuarant that has so many repeat customers. The food at Mr. Gyro's is better than you get in Greece.

Great Food, Reasonable Prices  5 Star Rating - World class

Mr Gyros is a family run little greek restaurant with authentic, healthy food that is fresh and well prepared. The gyro sandwiches are outstanding, and they have combination platters for those wanting to try a variety of greek specialties. We get take-out from them all the time, and there is a bit of a wait, since they prepare your food fresh after you order. The previous reviewer's comments about service are unfounded -- we've always found them very friendly, and willing to provide silverware and napkins when asked. Their desserts are yummy, especially the baklava. Just remember, as their door says, "always closed Sundays".

Very disappointing.....read on..  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Wow! Such a disappointment. First, they insist on charging you if you want a tad bit extra sauce. No other restaurant charges for extra condiments. Second, if you choose a pastry, they won't let you choose the exact one you want. They say they have to pull them out of the counter in order. This is absurd! Third, they don't offer you a receipt. Fourth, we had to ask for silverware and napkins (they're all hidden behind the counter) for our to-go order. After we asked, they handed us the plastic silverware and ONE measley napkin for $14 of food. These people are greedy all the way. The only saving grace was that the food tasted good, but not worth being treated the way they treat their customers. Just too greedy. AVOID.

Excellent Greek food!  5 Star Rating - World class

I've been going here for years. Some former co-workers got me going here. My wife now loves Greek food starting with her first visit. It is almost always busy, which is a good sign.

The food is great, the people are friendly. The prices and selection are great! For the main courses, they display a picture and descriptive menu. The desserts are displayed under glass with the name and description. So you know what it is you are getting, even if you aren't quite sure how to pronounce it. The desserts are wonderful!

Excellent Greek Cuisine  4 Star Rating - Very good

I love this restaurant for their authentic greek food. It is a really great place to catch lunch during the week because the service is quick and the food is affordable. I always think when a restaurant is nicely full every time I go there that they must be doing something right. Definitely a great lunch choice.

Excellent Greek Food  5 Star Rating - World class

I love this buisness because it is not only fast, but excellent food. The food is healthy and priced affordably.

The food is authentic and it is owned by a Greek family. When you walk in the family knows you by site and it always happy to see you.
