Quick stop for lunch so I used the drive-thru. I ordered the Gyro platter with fries and a strawberry shake. The food came out quick and hot. Tzatziki sauce was served on the side. I didn’t get any ketchup for the fries, and no napkins came in the drive-thru bag. I ran inside to grab those.

Overall, really good as a quick lunch spot. The dining area had some homemade charm, with lots of hand-written labels and other signs. Extra credit for the drive-thru sign warning about asking for extra sauce. “EXTRA COSTS EXTRA, NOTHING IS FREE. (Except our love for you - that don’t cost a thing!)”

This was my first time at Gianelli's and I ordered a Euro platter and it was the best I ever had. Friendly staff. I've heard good reports from friends and decided to try it today, and they were right. It's a great spot.

Get ready for your new favorite wrap! I was lucky enough to be the very first person to taste the Santa Fe wrap, and it was truly delicious. Every bite is a delightful combination of flavors and textures, iceberg lettuce, avocado, 6 oz of chicken, black beans, and quinoa, all brought together by the pepper jack cheese, kick of jalapeno, and chipotle mayo in a spinach wrap. It truly has a bite to it, which I absolutely loved. I will be coming back for the wrap! The picture doesn't do it justice. Give this a shot!

Well, we wanted to love Gianelli’s Drive Thru. The menu looked amazing with tons of great options. The decor was super fun, the place was really clean, and it wasn’t busy at all. There was one car in the drive-thru and just a few people inside. Honestly, it looked really promising. But after we walked in, someone said, “We’ll be right with you”… and then never came back. We waited at the counter for 15 minutes while staff walked by and completely ignored us. No updates, no apologies, nothing. Really disappointing. This was our first visit… and unfortunately, it’ll be our last.

Gianellis smashed cheeseburger is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Friendly staff, great service. Hope they get some shirts in stock soon!

Awesome food, really quick drive thru. Beef was my favorite.

Food was good but the portions were horrible! Not the best place to eat if you want a good gyro. We ordered the platter and received just enough meat for 1 gyro. I'm used to ordering elsewhere and getting a fair portion for the $12 meal. They charge you to add chicken to a salad but then remove the gyro and only give the chicken....that makes NO SENSE when it's a Greek gyro salad. Not happy, won't order again.

Should have just ordered from Kostas to start with but used Google to search local restaurants tonight. We ordered a gyro platter instead of just the sandwich so we could get alot of me and received 9 pieces of gyro! Just enough for a sandwich. I ordered the gyro salad and added chicken for $2.49 and received chicken INSTEAD of gyro. Why the upcharge if I'm not adding, I'm replacing. Also I would have ordered just the gyro had I known adding chicken would remove it completely. Foods great but for the money spent, we barely got any food!

Was pretty good. Price was fair at $3.89, also no one else in the area sells close by. I ordered hot dog with everything plus sport peppers but they took them off lol. Only real complaint is that the veggies were very thinly sliced. Check the photos

Was mid, ordered their half pound burger w/ cheese and they forgot the cheese. Meat also tasted like they don't season it

Gianelli's is a special hidden gem! The food is excellent and the service is superb! Everytime I go Drew is so sweet and takes his time making sure our order is what it should be. The beef and gyros are sooo good and we LOVE their homemade chips. In addition, we also at the last minute, celebrated my mom's birthday! Drew and his cashier were SO accomadating for the eight of us! He even allowed us to reserve a large table at the busy lunch hour! Thank you Gianellis!
