Gyros Stop

I visited Springfield today for the first time and stopped here with family to eat. I had to write this review simply because I don’t even think this place deserves ONE star! I live in Indiana and compared to our local gyro place… I definitely didn’t get even close to what I expected! All of our food was cold, French fries tasted horrible! There was literally four pieces of gyro meat on my gyro that was way overpriced! When we asked for more meat we had to pay 7.00 for it! The bathroom had an awful smell. The tables were dirty. The gyro meat was not only cold but too hard… Almost like beef jerky. I am a huge gyro lover and I can’t believe this place actually had any good reviews. Maybe the people who worked there during the shift I was there today just weren’t the best… Or maybe locals around there just are used to this… But I really wish we would have went somewhere else to eat!

Ate lunch for the first time here with my grandmother. The prices seemed comparable to other gyro places in Springfield. The staff was friendly. My gyro on the other hand tasted kind of funny when I ate it but I thought it was because of different seasonings. I was wrong, I ended up horribly sick to my stomach about an hour after eating there. It was the only I had ate that day. Due to the food being bad and making me sick I had to cancel plans for the rest of the day and spend the remainder of my day near the closest restroom. I will not be eating here again.

I love gyros, so when I saw all the great reviews for this place, I had to try it. I don’t think it’s horrible, but it’s definitely not the «best gyros this side of the Mediterranean River», as one reviewer stated. I was really hoping this would be a hidden gem in Springfield-it’s not. For a really great gyro, I will stick with my tried and true go-​to gyro place, which is Chi Town Finest on Jefferson.

This is springfield’s best kept playful secret. The guyros are awesome, in fact I would say they are the best guyros this side of the Mediterranean River. The customer service is always top notch as well, I usually try and order from the chick in the dodgers hat, I once had something in my eye while ordering and she thought I was winking at her, so she threw in a free corn dog. However, now I think it was just an accident because I tried it again… mission failed! There’s a guy named Frankie that works there, he looks like he might be down, so I’ll try it on him next.
Oh yeah, try the pretzel burger. They are awesome!

My favorite gyro place in Springfield!!!

Don’t let the simple exterior fool you. This is a delicious and impeccably clean restaurant serving a delicious gyro and the best baklava west of New York City. Voted best by Illinois Times 3 years running and consistent gold awards from the health department. Enjoy!
