Gyro Shack — Restaurant in Ingalls Park

We were in the area and stopped here solely on the basis of the reviews. Believe you me - they earned their high rating! My mother and I split a gyro meal together...O.M.G. The fries were a meal unto themselves. But the gyro was truly the píece de resistánce.

It had the perfect flavor, and was greasy enough to convey that flavor without being too greasy. The sauce was absolute perfection - plenty flavorful without overwhelming the meat. (And I'm very particular about my gyro sauce.)

No exaggeration - there was so much meat there...my mother and I each just about gorged ourselves on it, as well as gave a few strips (under protest at sharing something so good!) to my dog, and there was still enough left for a full lunch the next day! (My father's sandwich was just as ridiculously huge, and he says it was also quite good. Maybe not quite the magical perfection of the gyro, but very respectable. He said he'd eat it again except that he'll be getting a gyro next time.)

I'd go a good deal out of my way to get their food again. Try them. You...

Found this place a few years ago while working in the neighborhood, we eat here a few times a week! Always was good with huge gyros so I tried to stop there anytime I was nearby. Stopped in today the prices were high and the gyro was nothing like it used to be, before there was enough meat even the biggest guy would have a hard time finishing now they look like kids size. $10 for gyro & fry is on the high side but would be okay if they were like before. Not only lacking on the meat but also didn’t taste the same, I know there are different quality of gyro that are available(used to own a restaurant) I feel like the gyro shack hit all sides to make bigger profit... less meat, lower quality and raised the prices! I know times are tuff but cuts like this keeps the people away who used to drive out of the way to stop...

Not good. At all. I always think poorly of people who don't get the item that a restaurant is known for (wings from a taco stand is a terrible idea). I have to make an exception for this place. You would think that a place that has Gyro in the name would make an excellent one but you would be mistaken. The meat was tasteless and had a weird spongy texture to it. The pita was burnt. The fries left little to write home about. In fact, I wish I had just stayed home and had leftovers.

Gyros should be consistent from place to place because most restaurants go to the same suppliers. I don't know if this is a specialty blend or they just do something very different with the preparation but it did not work. I...
