Soulard Gyro (Maryland Heights) — Restaurant in Maryland Heights

2024-09-19: Based on the response from the owner about changing meat suppliers (and the fact that they were celebrating their 15 year anniversary with $1.50 gyros), I gave this another chance... The gyro was better. I still wouldn't say it was great, but definitely better. I am happy to see they now have a combo of fries/drink for $2.99. It is less fries than the basket, but a decent amount. They still have Pepsi (I didn't see Diet, but I guess it was Pepsi Max or whatever they call it these days). The carbonation was way too high again. Ended up with 1/2 cup after the foam went down. There are still too many better places to go for a gyro that are better choices though...

2024-06-08: Gave this another try today. Went with the gyro wrap. It was worse than the gyro. Meat was still not tender. Wrap was kind of chewy. Still not filled well. At the ends, there were 6 or more layers of wrap because of the excess tortilla. They did turn down the carbonation on the soda so I could actually get a full cup. Still Pepsi though... I don't see myself coming back.😁

2024-03-24: I've been waiting 7 months to try this place since I first saw it "coming soon" last August. It was not worth the wait. The gyro meat was sliced paper thin and was not as tender as other places. The sauce seemed very watery. For the price ($10.99), it should have been filled a lot more. Fries were pretty good. You get a huge basket (more than you need) for $3.29. Soda is unfortunately Pepsi instead of Coke. The Diet Pepsi had so much foam, it was impossible to get more than 2/3 cup. Service was good. Music was kind of loud. It made it hard to hear the cashier asking me questions.

While I wouldn't say it was terrible, there are many other gyro places in the area that would be a better choice. I know this location just opened, so I may give them another try...

I have been waiting for this location to open up and I must say Soulard Gyro exceeded all expectations with its delectable cuisine, superb service, and inviting ambiance. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were warmly greeted and made to feel right at home. The food was simply outstanding, with each dish crafted using fresh, high-quality ingredients that tantalized the taste buds with every bite. Whether indulging in their signature gyro or exploring their diverse menu offerings, every option was a culinary delight. The attentive and friendly staff further elevated the experience, ensuring that every need was met with genuine care and attention. The cozy yet vibrant atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. Without a doubt, Soulard Gyro has earned its place as a must-visit destination for anyone seeking exceptional food and hospitality. I am already looking forward to...

This might sound negative, but I was mostly happy with my food, will be going back, and I recommend it to others.

We've eaten at the Soulard Gyro in O'Fallon a bunch of times, so we were pretty excited for one to open closer to home. Since opening, we've now visited this new location twice.

While I'm overall happy with the food I got, I'm don't love it as much as the other location. The meat is either finely sliced or chopped up while being grilled, and it feels more like a Philly steak or chopped cheese than a gyro. It still tasted good, but wasn't as awesome as the thicker sliced gyro I'm used to.

The dining room is just a bunch of two seater tables, and felt unfinished. I'm hopeful that that's something they're still working on and didn't want to delay their opening any more...
