The Gyros Stand

Great, friendly warm little spot. The Roast Beef Sandwiches were very tasty, the fries a little over cooked! Definitely return here next time I’m in Milwaukee!

The greeting when you walk in is warm and friendly. The service is great. If you are a regular, they know how you like your food without any problems. The food is great. Walked in once. Told the cook to make me what he thought I would like. Bam. He hit it right away

This has been my favorite vanilla frozen custard for many years — and I have tried all of milwaukee’s offerings as well as Ted Drewes, in St Louis. TGS is a family run restaurant and you can usually see the family in evidence. Gyros can be simple or complex, but I lean toward the simple. I stop there whenever I’m in town, now that I live elsewhere, and I’m always happy to introduce friends to a medium chocolate-​dipped vanilla cone, most recently my daughter got to enjoy her first.

Worst service ever. They can’t multi task at all. Waited 45 minutes for 3 gyros and 1 chicken shish kabob. They literally made my food twice because they screwed up. UNACCEPTABLE!

Typical gyro stand. Generous portions, semi-​friendly staff and good food. Bring cash — they don’t take credit but have a fee ATM (clever). Good alternative to fast-​food chains.

Ok it is not Gourmet nut sometimes I just want some take out gyros to have with a Malbec and a movie. This is the place. Get the deluxe and two sauce pacs!

The gyros are delicious, and the meat is crunchy and well-​seasoned. I’d suggest to take it easy on the onions though-​But that’s my opinion. The booths were dirty at a totally non-​busy hour (we were the only ones in there around 12pm).
the slushies are awesome because they are generous enough to give me more slushy than ice.

They’re really nice people. But I ordered spanikopita and watched them get my piece out of the freezer and put it in the microwave. Right in front of me… And as can be expected from pre-​made frozen food that was freshly microwaved to perfection it was horrible.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this place but I’ve never had a bad custard experience at a gyros place but wow, the worst custard I have ever had. Not even sure it was custard.
Oh and there were flies everywhere. Gross.

Supper friendly and helpful staff, great food, and the prices are reasonable. Nice flavor of Greece right here in the Bay View neighborhood. However, if your looking for a fine upscale dinner place, this is not it, this is more like Greek fast food.

Okay so I’m new to Milwaukee and because I’m obsessed with custard/​ice cream, I decided to ignore the reviews that the custard was okay at best. I went anyway.
Um. The décor hahahaha. What is going on with this place? The booths are purple with some 80’s like design. The chairs were heart-​shaped metal. I was a little confused.
Also there was no one in this place at 1pm and tables were dirty. Hmm.
Anyway you all were right. The custard is mediocre at best. And it was $ 4.50 for a large cone. Honestly I’d probably hit this place up for custard because it’s sooooo close to my house, however at that price I’ll just go to Leon’s instead.
Haven’t tried any of their other food and when desperate times call for desperate measures, I might think about hitting this place up again. But that won’t ever happen, so…

The Gyros Stand has been here for over 20 years. When they opened I was excited about good gyros and burgers within walking distance of home. After my first visit I was less enthused. The food was just OK, nothing more. After 20 some years nothing has changed, Gyros, burgers, custard, are just so so. A couple weeks ago I got 2 fish fries to go. They were barely edible, small pieces of dry tasteless fish surrounded by very heavy breading. When this was brought to the attention of management they became very defensive, hostile, and offered no restitution. The owners may seem nice on the outside but can turn ugly fast. Ignore the menu posted on Unilocal.It’s outdated and prices are considerably higher. Contrary to Unilocal’s description they do NOT accept credit cards. It may be close to home but why settle for mediocre food and service. I’ll drive a couple extra miles to Oakland Gyro.

20 years of burgers
While I don’t get here as often as I did years ago, The Gyro Stand is a great «neighborhood» place for a bite to eat. The burgers are big and tasty, I’d definitely compare it to a Kopp’s burger. The fries are always crispy and hot. If you get the Gyro’s, be prepared to have extra or share with a friend, you simply cannot finish one of these.
Tim, the owner, always seems to be present. Because everything’s made to order there can be a short wait during busy times. Friends and family have never left disappointed.

The Mrs. is a sweetheart. The custard is fine. The Greek Lazagna is 5 STARS but only if its on the street sign that day, The stuffed Grape Leaves are A1. But only available on special. Delivery is slowish but fresh made every time. Watch the sign for special menu items baked with loving Greek hands.

First time here we had frozen custard. The owner was nice and the custard was okay.
Second time here we had carry-​out «Greek» food.
The Greek Salad was not very Greek aside from the feta. The shish kabobs (which say nothing about how they actually come on the take-​out menu) ended up being grilled or sauteed pieces of greasy meat thrown into a pita and heaped with over cooked veggies. It actually didn’t taste too bad but a shish kabob is NOT a sandwich. I’ve watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding enough times to be very well-​versed in Greek foodage.
Gyro Stand, NO-​pa!

The staff was extremely nice. The custard was not very good, at all. The food was pretty good and the menu selection is quite impressive. They have many different burgers, sandwiches and fried appetizers. I would come back to try a couple more menu items, but I’ll stop somewhere else on the way home, for custard.

My girlfriend and I had a grilled chicken sandwich, deep fried breaded mushrooms, and cheese fries. The cheese and fries were really good, and the sandwich tasted pretty good as well. The portions were big. We paid about $ 14 for all that food and it fed 2.5 mouths. It took a little while to get the food, but the reason was because the fries were being made fresh. Everything was served piping hot and freshly cooked. Overall it was a pretty good experience. Will probably try again.

Best gyros bar none with the most flavor. Everything else here has been great as well. Love the burgers to. Excellent summertime stop. The employees/​owners couldn’t be any friendlier. As far as the gyros go Oakland gyros falls in second and better if you’re looking for larger portions but they just don’t taste as good.
