I've passed by a few times. We were headed somewhere else today but decided to try this healthier option. Drive-thru was fine & simple. Looked like there were quite a few food options on the menu, but we got the basic gyro. I ordered the combo, but for some reason the guy didn't hear my order from the driver's seat, so we did a recap at the window. No problem.
Glad I made this choice. We loved our gyros. Perfect texture, & ratio of meat to pita to sauce & veggies. Fries (crinkle cut) I ordered ordered were fine. I generally prefer homemade chips (not an option, personal preference).
The service was friendly, polite, professional & not rushed. An added ending plus were the white chocolate chip lemon(?) cookies added in. It was the 'icing on the cake', so to speak. Tasty, not too crumbly & not too soft. I will definitely be coming back here regularly & highly recommending it to friends.

Great place to get a quick meal that isn't heavy, quick, and delicious! The cookie that's added to the meal is delicious!

First time trying. Ordered via DD (driver almost handed me wrong order). But customization requested was correct. Deluxe Gyro was tasty and good portion of meat and tzatziki sauce. Greek Fries were good (but could be better priced) not really seasoned except for the feta. Combo Hummus Cup with pita was tasty. Received 2 lemon cookies!

Outstanding food, great prices. No seating. Drive-thru or walk-up ordering

The food was fresh and overall it was pretty good. I enjoy the feta fries more than the gyro but to each they own.

I orderd a super gyro and chicken cheese melt. The meat was completely cold dry and stale like it had been sitting for days. Absolutely disgusting! It made me vomit when i tried to take a bite. They should be ashamed for trying to serve people expired food. It went in the trash. Never again!

I have driven past the Gyro Shack for months now and just thinking on how delicious or not their gyros would taste! Well, today was the day and I had little longer lunch time to make a dash to the Shack! It takes about 15 minutes to get there but they do have a drive-through To make it easy for short lunch time folks like me.
Did I mention I really like a tasty Gyro and this is my first impression meal? Do I get disappointed? And what about the tzatziki sauce? lol!
So, let’s start from the drive through, great service taking my order and they even gave their opinion of the best side to try! Since being a traditional gyro guy, I ordered a #1 combo. The Original and opted for the lemon rice. It also had a lemon cookie! Next, the drive through was super easy to maneuver to the window with my larger truck. I am liking it already! If you have ever driven through a drive through and had to readjust your vehicle position not to tap a pole or wall, you know what I am talking about!
Anyway, after getting to the window, the server was quick and very helpful passing me the food and drink. I like his catch phrase, “see you tomorrow”! That stayed on my mind all the way to work.
Let’s talk food! The gyro was impressive, plenty of meat, ample tzatziki sauce, onions and tomatoes! The pita bread was perfect. Still warm, very soft and the right amount of chewiness! The tast, definitely above average tipping into the perfect range. If there were just a little more meat, voila a 6 star rating! Just kidding on the 6 stars. It was delicious. Next is the lemon rice, still warm when I got to work, very well balanced lemon flavor and the rice texture was on Q. Not crunchy from being over warmed and just the right size for my lunch. Next is the lemon cookie! Not sure if they cook them there, but it was very tasty with more lemon flavor. Almost reminded me of the old SNL skit, more cowbells! More lemon taste in every bite. To top it all was a smooth.sweet tea to clear my pallet every few bites!
All in all, a great lunch that I do intend to visit again, tell my friends to try and maybe just stop in to try the Baklava.
Thank you for the great experience!
