My husband and I ordered the Kebab Platter for 2, as we wanted to try all three varieties. We also ordered two fountain drinks and the baklava cheesecake. We dined in.

First note, this restaurant serves Pepsi products. For me this is a dream come true. I'm a Pepsi girl living in a Coke world. I actually rarely drink soda, but if an establishment serves Pepsi, I make an exception. I had Pepsi Zero sugar. It had good syrup to carbonated water ratio. Did not disappoint.

The kebabs served on the Platter for 2 are the chicken, lamb and adana. You also receive greek salad and rice.

The salad was wonderful. It had the perfect amount of house made vinegrette dressing, feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, a whole pepperoncini and fresh chopped greens.

The rice was tender, but not sticky or overcooked. It was well seasoned.

BUT the kebabs! They were so delicious. My favorite was the adana. It was slightly salty, in a good way. The meat was ground lamb with mild chili flavor and other seasonings. There was a nice light char on this Kebab. All the kebabs were juicy, and golden brown. They tatsed like they were marinated before grilling, and were so flavorful.

Last, the cheesecake. I took one bite, and immediately didn't want to share. It was a nice combination of an American treat crossed with a traditional Greek dessert. I am already looking forward to another slice in the future.

The restaurant was decorated with interesting photos of the Mediterranean region. They also had two, what I believe are called a Nazar Battu, protection charms.

This is a lovely little restaurant with reasonable prices, friendly staff and...

Well perhaps it's that I'm from Chicago and the gyros places there are amazing, and truly Greek owned (not saying this place isn't), but I wasn't impressed with the Fat Lamb. The atmosphere was nice, and very clean which matters in COVID times. But I wasn't really impressed with the food and value. First I was charged for extra sauce on my gyro. I wanted maybe an extra spoonful and didn't feel it was worth 95 cents. But the girl at the counter said she "had to" charge for it. And while I wanted my money's worth, what I got was essentially tzatziki soup. That being said the tzatziki tasted really good and was full of cucumbers. Next, the meat. It was neither a generous portion and not even warm, much less hot. And with all the sauce, I couldn't really taste it. Having no onions, was also a disappointment. I'm accustomed to a gyros that has tzatziki, onions and tomatoes, with no lettuce. Seems every gyros place in Florida thinks lettuce is an important filler. Not so back home where the filler is lots of meat. The whole gyros minus the bread (I don't eat much bread) took me 2 minutes to eat. Poor value in my opinion. Bottom line: I can't give the Fat Lamb a very good review and won't be back. Your mileage may vary, but I'd recommend you go to Mykonos instead. It's only a couple miles down SR 434 and is much...
