Since I recently discovered Knossos, I have been back twice. This small restaurant is tucked into an Eldon strip mall and would be easy to overlook. When I called in my order, I as impressed with the courtesy and ease of the process. The man took my order, read it back, gave me the price and told me when I could pick it up. When I arrived, the food was ready, and the counterman checked the order to make sure nothing was missing (what a concept). The food was fresh well prepared and very good. And it was reasonably priced. The gyro, falafel, and salads were all good and the portions generous, and they do not skimp on hummus or tatsiki. There are a wide variety of appetizers and menu items, all I tried were good and I especially recommend the Greek fries, which are seasoned and served with feta cheese. Knossos also makes a surprisingly good burger, single or double. If you are looking for a quick alternative to your takeout routine, I highly recommend Knossos for good, reasonably priced, fresh food. And the staff is friendly, efficient, fast and they definitely take pride in their food and want to make sure the customers enjoy your meal.
If you like little hole in the wall restaurants with a sparse atmosphere and just 5 or 6 tables, you will love Knossos. These are the best gyros I have had in the United States. The service was super friendly and done by the owner himself.

I ordered a lunch special with a gyro. It's the best gyro I've ever had. The pita was filled with a lot of gyro meat and less other fillings. I did takeout and when I arrived home, the fries were still warm and crispy. Highly recommended.

I ordered the lunch special with a gyro and got the best gyro I've ever had. The pita bread had a lot meat and less other fillings than other restaurants. We did take out and when I arrived home, the fries were still warm and crispy. The special comes with a bottle of soda. It is a great deal. Staff were friendly. Highly recommended.

Ordered a double cheeseburger overcooked the patties and chicken tenders no flavor at all didn't eat them all. Would not recommend this place.
Love Knossos, remember them from Vienna a long time ago! Much better value than other “fast food places, more nourishing w/lettuce. Onions and lettuce, eg. Platter enough fro two or late night snack. Fries and rice or salad bowl food added. Value

To try Knossos, we tried a staple - gyro sandwich and grape leaves as a side dish. The gyro was THE BEST GYRO! The meat was so tender and delicious! The grape leaves were full of flavor. And the portions were huge! Looking forward to future meals and trying other menu options. I highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: I have a gluten intolerance, so my gyro was served without the pita. I was extremely please with how they packaged it for take out and was pleasantly surprised to see so many tomatoes! PS: I also recommend their grape leaves.

First time there since opening. Stopped to pick up lunch. Great food, price and service. Atmosphere is pleasant and everyone is very nice. If you haven’t been there yet it’s worth the visit.
I ordered the gyro and mozzarella sticks. It tastes like it’s been microwaved, not fresh at all. The meat was soggy and half cold, half lukewarm. Marinara tasted like medicine. 31$ is what it cost me, It’s worth 15$ at most.

Highly recommend! Just had lunch here and it was so good! I had the chicken souvlaki platter with salad and rice. The chicken was cooked perfectly, topped with feta, tzatziki and veggies. Restaurant is super clean. The best part beyond the food was the wonderful owner. Such a warm friendly person. He made me feel right at home! I will be back!
