Mikey’s Greek Gyros

I was here when Mikey’s opened and it quickly became a favorite place for lunch. Today, while visiting the area we decided to stop in. While the dining area has grown, the feeling of the place and, most importantly, the food hasn’t changed — it’s still awesome!
The gyros are full and flavorful and the baklava is delicious.
On top of it all, the prices are super-​reasonable. Go to Mikey’s for lunch or whatever meal you wish… You won’t be disappointed.

Super hole in the wall location, but amazing gyros!
Don’t be decieved! It’s bigger on the inside! There are board games to play too and a ping pong table! Plenty of seating.
The gyros are so amazing. The meat is tender, juicy, and fresh. The taziki sauce is really good too. To top it off, it’s cheap! Extra bonus for all of the college students. The portions aren’t huge but they are satisfying for sure.
I can’t wait to get back to the Palouse to get another one of these guys!

On a recent trip to Moscow, ID to enjoy some football we tried a local favorite, Mikey’s Greek Gyros. Located on Main Street, this restaurant had quite a following at 6 pm with a line of locals nearly out the door. Like Dr. Who’s TARDIS, Mikey’s is larger on the inside then it appears on the outside with several seating areas for groups surrounding a smallish open kitchen. Outside on the sidewalk there were two small tables and half dozen chairs.
The menu features a variety of gyros, salads with a Greek influence and daily soups. They also have a small but good selection of tap beers and packaged drinks including hard cider.
My wife and I both ordered their tabbouleh salad. She also had the standard gyro while I had the deluxe gyro. When asked about the difference between them we were told the deluxe has more meat and cheese. We also had two hard ciders which brought our total bill up to something less than $ 22!
Service was pretty fast and started with the salads. My wife enjoyed her tabbouleh salad a lot especially the feta cheese on top. I had mixed feelings. While tabbouleh is one of those regional dishes whose composition varies a bit, it always has cracked Bulgar wheat, lemon juice, parsley, salt and mint. I also like tomatoes, finely diced red onion, a drizzle of EVOO and black olives in mine. Mikey makes theirs with olives (on top) and tomatoes (also on top), Bulgar wheat, parsley and feta cheese. There was a slight hint of lemon juice but no mint; there might have been onions in there but they were pretty well camouflaged. IMHO, it’s the mint that really makes it for me since the rest of the salad is somewhat bland (except for possible lemon taste) so not having mint is a downer for me. I give their tabbouleh a «C».
Their gyro, on the other hand, was quite good with well-​seasoned meat, good tzatziki sauce and fresh veggies all wrapped in a nice naan bread. Yum!
Overall, it was a pretty decent dining experience with good food and drinks at really good prices in a decidedly local favorite hangout.
