Dino’s Gyros

I love the seasoned fries! Hits the spot every time.

YUK! I bought a chicken shawarma here yesterday. THE MEAT WAS SPOILED! I think it was at least 2 days old. It was a take out and I reached home to find out my dinner was (…). I was quite far off from them, else I would have brought it right back to them. The place was all eerie too. There was no one in there. It’s mostly that way when even I walk past it. Bottom line: avoid this place!

I love falafels… but Dino’s Gyros does not get my love. I came here with a couple friends at the start of pharmacy school. I’m a huge fan of falafels so I had I their falafel sandwich with fries. It was kinda disappointing. especially after coming from the Bay Area where it is full of good falafel restaurants. Dino’s falafel sandwich was very underwhelming. There were not enough falafels in the sandwich. the hummus and pita was whatever. nothing special about it,
However, I do like they take a chipotle style approach where you can build your own sandwiches, salads, bowls or plate. The price is about typical lunch around the U.
I haven’t came back since, and probably wouldn’t. There’s better options for Mediterranean such as Abdul’s.

I do like this place, the food is good, but it’s kind of expensive, and since their latest menu change it’s even more so. Maybe it’s just my particular «usual» meal, but now the combo doesn’t allow as many sides including my favorite side, the pita chips, and now those don’t come with anything to dip in, you have to pay extra for it. It was already kind of an expensive lunch, so I tried to limit how often I had it, but now it’s just too much. I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

I have the good fortune of living above this place so, naturally I am in there at least 2 – 3 times a week. The people who work there are nothing but very very friendly. The food is delicious, hot and fresh, generous portions and reasonably priced. My favorite part is how they warm up the soft, pillowy pita bread if you’re getting a gyro. If you like spicy, I recommend getting their spicy feta on anything you order. All around, a great place to go. You won’t leave there disappointed or hungry.

Came here before a Vikings game because EVERY other sports bar/​restaurant was packed. They sold us 2 pints of beer for $ 5, an absolute steal on game day. Their food was great, can’t go wrong with any option. My boyfriend and I liked it so much we came here before another Vikings game. It might just be a tradition!
Great service too. Oh and their spicy feta dip is a MUST try!

Three words come to mind when I think about Dino’s Gyros — Spicy Feta Dip. I don’t know if it is the sassy kick that hits you two minutes after you take a bit of this savory masterpiece of a dip or the green onions that add a little somethin somethin to the order but I swear I am addicted to this stuff. I always go to Dino’s just for the spicy feta and those pita chips. There’s something about those freshly fried pita chips in the cool spicy feta that can make any bad day better.
I’m also a fan of the seasoned fries. Dino’s uses a blend very similar to the Ya-​Ya B’s seasoning you can get at Kowalskis market… I also think there is a healthy amount of garlic salt or garlic powder in it which is always good.
As far as the gyros. I think I over did it one summer with their gyros so I haven’t actually tried the gyros at this location. However, I do think its cool that you get to choose whatever you want to put in there (it’s a similar concept to Chipotle).
The staff are super friendly and the place is extremely clean. I’d recommend this if you want a quick and fresh bite to eat over in Stadium village.

The gyros here are amazing! The price is reasonable, food tastes great and has many options suited for everyone, the décor is fine but quite bland, there’s also outdoor seating which is great, and it’s probably one of my most favorite sandwich/​gyro shops!

I placed my catering order with the Dino’s on campus and was very pleased with the quality of the food and the timeliness of the delivery. The people that ate the food enjoyed it very much.

We stopped here while my daughter was taking her last final of the semester. My wife and I both like Gyros and this place was within walking distance of the school and our hotel.
It was later than normal dinner hours plus it was the night before the last finals for UofMN. No crowd but very clean. The young man behind the counter was very courteous and asked if we had visited any Dino’s before (no) so he patently explained how everything worked.
My wife and I got a regular Gyro. The meat was just right and they listened when we asked for light sauce (and my wife no-​tomato). We sat by the window enjoying the sandwiches. They were substantial enough that my wife could not finish hers (I did for her).
When we stay near the U we will be back again!

I like gyros! This place is awesome. Just a walk away from campus. Great «fast» food and reasonably priced. It’s similar to ordering at a subway or chipotle. It’s a smaller restaurant, but you can eat there or take it home, since you pay once they make your food. The staff is also very friendly.
I have my own favorites, I go with white, my choice of protein varies but I have started to enjoy steak, half and half on sauce, and mostly all the veggies. You can also order it as a salad. Their French fries are my favorite because of the special seasoning they put on top! I usually have to check my teeth afterwards, herbs usually get stuck in between and my breath smells of onions too because of my choice of ingredients. I don’t mind so much cause I enjoy my meal and prepare for that later.
If you sign up for emails from them, you can usually catch monthly or holiday deals. This month they are offering a free meal if you purchase a priced gift card. Sometimes they have groupon deals too.

Okay so the falafel was really good but the worker ringing me up was horrific. One of the girls who was folding my sandwich for takeout folded it the «wrong» way (it seemed fine to me) and her male co-​worker rolled his eyes and called her a «dumb bitch.» NOT OKAY.
The food was great but because of that one comment I’ll probably never come back here again.

Awesome customer service. This location is set up differently than the other Dino’s. It works as an assembly line, which threw me off, but the young lady working behind the counter was eager to help and very cheerful.
Their food isn’t AMAZING but isn’t terrible.

Each time I eat here, I’m a little surprised by how good it actually is since based on external appearance, you could be forgiven for expecting standard food court-​level fare. The meat isn’t as flavorful as some other places nearby, but everything else is on point. I usually get the philly cheesesteak gyros or the falafel sandwich. The little half-​moon pita chips, when fresh from the fryer and still coated with a thin layer of oil, are the best I’ve had, and you can can make 2 servings out of the amount that they give you for $ 1.50. (Hummus or other sauces are extra.) One star penalty for the price of a full meal creeping into the low double digits.

Dino’s finally opened in stadium village, and people have gone gaga for it. Yes, I love a good gyro, but I wish Wally’s was closer. When it comes down to it though, they make huge gyros and have pretty good fries. Dino’s gyros are good and they have quite the diverse assortment of proteins, toppings, and sauces. Their fries are delicious because they’re salted, peppered, and seasoned. A combo of sandwich or salad and fries can put you back $ 10, but it is tons of food.
