“Voted the best gyro in STL“ and we had to stop by. Not going to be saying it’s the best in STL, but may stand a chance to be in our top 5. The service is friendly, generous, and lets you pick a tiny packet of chips to go with your order.
The sauce is a giant tub and despite that the person at the counter said it maybe small but will suffice. I loaded it up on my sandwich and still had a half left. The sauce is massive people. It isn’t tzatziki made of yogurt and cucumbers but has mayo mixed in it. It wasn’t savory, but almost very sweet tasting. Still can’t pinpoint what was in it, but it was different and tasty.
The gyro meat was premade hopefully on a spit. They only had to reheat it on a griddle. It was tender, juicy, but lacked the flavor of a gyro. The seasoning was tasty, but given that it was being reheated may have been the reason for its missing flavor. It’s huge and will easily fill you up. My partner and I split it and didn’t even reach for the packet of chips. Yes, we did have our home made salad on the side. Give this place a shot, it’s better than the other Americanized versions of Middle East cuisine.

This little neighborhood gem is exactly the kind of sandwich shop I love discovering around Kirkwood. Popular for good reason too — quick service, friendly people, and a laid-back local atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back. The Kirkwood Club is still one of my go-to sandwiches here, always fresh, stacked high, and consistently delicious.
What I really appreciate is that it’s more than just a sandwich counter. They’ve got a huge selection of snacks, drinks, spirits, and just about anything you might need while stopping in. The shop has an old-school neighborhood market feel that’s getting harder to find these days.
Service has always been fast, polite, and welcoming every time I’ve stopped by. And now they introduced milkshakes? Yeah… that just takes it over the top. Hard not to leave this place happy.

This place is fantastic. Where else can you get a delicious gyro the size of a mountain, a banging hot Italian sub and a grilled chicken wrap a five year old will eat? Our food came out fast, hot and delicious.
Great service from the family who run the place as well, very kind and hardworking. I'll definitely be supporting this business as a recent transplant who has been searching for places like this.

Personally, I would not recommend this place to anybody. They literally charge $14 to $16 for a 6 inch sub sandwich. It is the most ridiculous thing i've ever even heard of let alone 👀
Please don't waste your time going there.

Flying visit, I didn't try the food. However, first class staff and service.
Very friendly and welcoming, it was good to see the staff/customer relationship. Very impressive.
Two words, Mexican Coke
I got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich for 9$. I almost returned it before opening the wrapper because it felt empty. I was expecting better than McDonald's but got a McDonald's quality sandwich for double the price.
