“I have been going to Gyros House for years, and have never had a bad experience. It's my go-to for gyros, and (in my opinion) the best option in the Parkway Plaza food court.

The food is reasonably priced and amazing quality. The gyro meat is perfectly seasoned, hot, and tender. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The pita is soft, warm, and flavorful. The sauces are perfect. The portions are big and very much worth the cost. The french fries are crispy and light, always hot and perfectly salted.

The customer service is incredible. The man who always makes my gyros always has a smile on his face and puts a smile on mine. Same with the woman who sometimes works the register. They are kind and helpful.

Very lovely people, very good food, great prices. Much better than the chain gyro places around.“

“The restaurant is very intimate but still has that diner feel to it. I brought my daughter here for a breakfast date and they were very accompdating when she asked to switch seats so she could sit next to me.

I ordered a caramel machiatto, bacon, eggs, and a Nutella waffle. My daughter had an M&M pancake and bacon. I got a to go order for my husband and he got the Kobe and a French toast with Nutella.

The presentation was beautiful. You could tell they slowed down to make beautiful lines of nutella on the waffle. The waffle was crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside; just how it should be! The bacon was crunchy and fresh and the eggs were soft and fluffy. My caramel machiatto was one of the best I've ever had. There was caramel milk foam on top that was to die for.

My daughter had 1 pancake and I'm glad the waitress told me they were huge because she wanted two. She ate half of it because the pancake was the size of the plate so she's taking the rest home. This would be a good option to split if you had kids who wanted the same flavor.

There is ample parking since there are many different businesses located near it. Which is nice since parking is something that is always lacking in San Diego

I would recommend that you stop by

Kid-friendliness: There were single people, couples, and people with kids!“

“I love this place, for more than the food. The employees at the registers are always great food is solid and a hit every time. But on occation i have been blessed to be eating when the owner is on site. And whitinesed how kind he was to a few un housed individuals and restored my faith a little in humanity. He had no reason to as we all know too well, however he understood that it takes 3 seconds to be kind to someone. And that has made me a lifetime customer and any time our crew is in el cajon this is where we spend our money!“
