Gyros on Central

Update: Still awesome! Do not be put off by location or appearance… and DO try the gyro plate or chicken plate. salad the freshest I’ve ever had and dressing to die for! Meat, rice and tzaziki are all delicious!

Love their gyro meat. A great value for the combo even if the rice is not quite my thing. That’s okay, I switched to the wrap and I’m feeling better than ever. What’s next from here? Only the future can tell.
PS– the guys inside are very nice. My only negative experience was some moron vaping inside the store and blowing it all over me. I wanted to throw falafel balls at her but instead I stormed outside in a huff like a true American.

This is my go to Greek place in Sunny Slope. Gyros Plate and sandwiches hot and delicious. They also have a Chicago dog set up. Clean place, great little patio.

Authentic Gyros, incredible price, generous portions, you can’t go wrong! Came here thanks to Unilocal and found a hole in the wall shop with a good menu. Of course I had to get the Gyro sandwich, which is what I use to measure the gyroness of a place and it was good! With an extra helping of tzatziki sauce, I devoured my sandwich in no time. I’m definitely heading back to try some of their other goodies.

You just can’t beat the $ 5.99 Gyro lunch special.

I was looking for places to try for dinner and found this place on Unilocal so I decided to try it. Overall good food and gyro meat was nice, I only wish the tzatziki was on top of the meat to give it some added complexity. I agree with previous reviewers that you would want the food to go because it is located in a gas station parking lot. If you’re in the area it’s a good place to try.

I’ve passed Gyros on Central many times and I stopped for gas on my way out to eat and thought since I was there and hungry I’d give it a shot. Loved it. The only person working wasn’t a warm guy by any stretch, but I’d go back for the gryo again and again. My husband had the chicken pita (which is basically a gyro with chicken) and a small salad. I had the regular gryo and fries. Everything we ordered tasted wonderful. Give it a try if you are in the area.

The gyros are so good. The food is always hot and fresh. They have a large variety on their menu. The staff is friendly. Restaurant is clean. I eat here every Saturday with my boyfriends family.

Since moving nearby I’d been scouting this place, and it seemed to be a little hole-​in-​the wall gem. We finally tried it this week and it was exactly that!
We walked in and received a cold greeting from the guy at the counter. He seemed a little bothered that we were there, but took our order. Two gyros with a side of hummus. It took a little bit to get the food, but as he was the only person working, I didn’t mind. The price was reasonable. We hung out in the sparse interior until it was ready, then headed home to chow down.
The meat itself was hot and delicious; not at all dry like gyro meat can sometimes be. There wasn’t an overpowering amount of onions, which I liked. (I hate feeling like I have dragon breath for hours and hours after enjoying a Greek feast.) I usually like an obscene amount of tzatziki sauce and this gyro was lacking in it. But the more I ate, the more I found myself enjoying the tasty pita and meat flavors instead… but I’m not a total convert: next time I’ll order some on the side for dipping’s sake. The hummus was really tangy and had a few veggies hanging out on top, most notably a kalamata olive, which I grabbed before my husband even had a chance. Yum.

I was getting gas at the station connected to it and thought, yum, Greek food! Apparently it’s the same owners. A little strange but why not! Plus I saw good reviews on here. I read one review which said it had good marinated chicken. I ordered the chicken gyro thinking it’s the usual, juicy, marinated, white chicken breast. Well maybe they ran out of chicken that day because it was thin pieces of what looked exactly like turkey bacon! It was hard and disgusting! My lettuce was wilted and the sauce looked and tasted like something out of a jar! Nothing fresh about this place. If I hadn’t taken it to go I would have sent it back. I came home and gave whatever that meat was to my dog. My cat wouldn’t even eat it! It’s too bad because the guys there were nice!:(

The food is great but get it to go… the location is horrible. It is in the parking lot for a gas station so forget eating outside unless you enjoy smelling gasoline while you’re eating. Even inside it still smells like gas…

Good service great value a little place convenient for central. Salad fresh. Good job guys

This is a great place for quick Greek food.
I’ve lived near the place for 7 years and never knew it existed. As others stated its next to a convenience store. The place is small and only approximately seating for 15 inside and 8 outside.
But if you want a good gyro and or salad don’t pass it by.

We have seen the place several times. Never stopped, I had a thing about eating what appears to be gas station food. Well its NOT. Its a little place right next to the gas station. They just share a wall and parking lot. Still weird. They say they’re looking for a new location.
The food was really good though. I am super picky and so is my body. I left feeling very happy and glad that we finally stopped. Yeah I see they shop at Wal Mart which is the worst thing. We only know cause we watched them bring in the groceries.
We will be back.

Perhaps the were just having a bad day based on everyone else.
In my case, my wife picked up two gyro plates, one side of fried mushrooms and another of fried jalepenos.
First, both sides tasted like the prefab ones they sell at grocery stores, or sysco foods. Not terrible, just nothing that I enjoy.
The gyro meat is fine, althou if your like me, you prefer a bit of a chared taste as proof that fire was involved somewhere, I would have been happy if they had just given my slices a nice, quick sear in a pan before putting then in the box.
They give a whole lot of rice for the amount of meat, really gets your hopes up with you open the lid and then is a letdown when its well over 60% rice puffing up everything else.
What I REALLY disliked, REALLY, is no TZATIKI sauce and NO FETA, but what is obviously some offbrand ranch dressing in containers.
I admit, that last fact almost made me give them one star, I’m just assuming it was an accidnt. And if I go back, I’ll be sure and ask for them on the platter and with the side salad.
Man its sad, I really was hoping for a good experience, I mean the man and the boy there were very nice. which goes a long way with me.

Delicious food. Must get gyro combo

First time here! I got a Chicago Dog and a Gyro both were awesome! I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Service is great! I will be back in 2 weeks, when I am up in this area again!

I have been here twice. The first time I got the Veggie Platter. A nice mix of hummus, pita, a little Greek salad and Dolmades. The food is nice, but nothing overly impressive.
On the first visit after ordering and waiting 5 minutes I was told they were out of hummus. What? A Greek place out of hummus? At any rate I think they scraped the bottom of the barrel and I got some with my meal, but about half of what was pictured in the menu.
I went back again today, only because I was rushed for lunch and thought i’d give them another shot, since the food was ok last time.
I again ordered the veggie platter and was told it would be 20 minutes because they were slammed. At the time they had three customers waiting that had already ordered. 20 minutes for a meal that has everything already made and just needs to be put in a to-​go container. No thanks.
On top of this the staff is not really overly friendly. I’d skip this place.

«You eat your Gyros at a gas station?»
Yes I do, but only because of the outdoor seating.

This little shop next to the Shell gas station is a hidden gem! My brother and I were in the car filling up gas and saw a small café next door, «Gyros on Central.» I loved the name — reminded of how they name restaurants in New York. We were both starving so we thought to try it out.
AMAZING! I ordered the chicken pita combo and he ordered the gyro combo. Both of our sandwiches were filled up with a hearty amount of meat (love that) and the fries were seasoned, crispy and HOT. Too many times I’ve ordered combos, and the fries end up soggy and/​or cold. My brother loved his food, too. The owner came by to ask how everything was and sat with us for awhile — incredibly nice guy. We both appreciated the hospitality.
And we’ll both be back — you should, too!
