We have eaten at Ciro's in Independence several times and always been more than pleased. Today, we tried Ciro's in Galax, arriving about 11:30am. While the wait staff was friendly, and I realize they (like so many) are short staffed, the results pitiful. My wife ordered a lunch special stromboli & drink ($5.99 on the menu) and I ordered a small white pizza (I have trouble eating most marinara sauces) with sausage and a drink. After waiting 40 minutes and seeing later arriving customers get served first, we finally got our orders. WRONG. Mine was not a white pizza, but loaded with marinara sauce. Besides the excessive wait when the place was at less than 50% capacity, it was not as ordered. I told them we had no more time and paid for my wife's and got a to go box. What was advertised as $5.99 plus tax came to $7.32?? I didn't question that and did leave a couple bucks for the waitress as I don't know where the fault arose. We were pushed for time, had appointments, then an hour drive back home arriving at 3pm. All this on a pack of nabs and coffee I had at 7:30am. Not a great day.

I ordered the Ciro's sub, the veggie gyro, and some jalapeno poppers. The food had a weird chemical taste. For a sandwich that carries the name of the restaurant, I expected better. The gyro was thrown together and tasted like it sat out for a day or two. The jalapeno poppers tasted like freezer burned frozen food that wasn't cooked all the way. The price I paid did not match the quality I was expecting. I would not eat here again. Never in my life have I ever eaten less than half a meal and thrown it away because it made...
Read moreFirst time customers last night. We went in and a few other tables were seated. Certainly wasn't full by any means. The waitress was huffing and puffing about how busy they were. She was extremely rude to several customers, especially the ones calling in for orders. She was loud enough for the entire place to hear her displeasure and attitude. The food was decent. Everything came out at different times and they nearly forgot one of our meals. However, that wasn't a big deal. I doubt we will ever come back. The service we received was absolutely awful. The poor guy working with her was so nice and she was the exact opposite. She should find a new line of work, if thats her...
