Gyro Shack — Restaurant in Meridian

Every time I visit the Gyro Shack on Linder in Meridian, it somehow manages to outdo itself — and that’s saying something. This place has been my go-to spot for gyros, and for good reason: the food is hands-down the best of any location, full stop. My personal favorite is the spicy bacon avocado gyro with the green spicy sauce — it’s like a little edible miracle — paired with their Greek fries, which honestly deserve their own fan club.

On my most recent visit, I was helped by Victor Junior, and he made the experience even better. He’s got an incredible personality and absolutely outstanding customer service — warm, attentive, and just genuinely pleasant to talk to. People like him are why this location stands out so much.

The vibe here is always fantastic — you can tell the owners care deeply about both their customers and their community, and it radiates through everything: the atmosphere, the staff, and the little details that make you feel welcome.

If you’re thinking about stopping by, stop thinking and just do it. This place isn’t just a gyro shop...

They mess up our order every time we go there. They get confused if you use too many words at once... so check your order before you pull away!

Update (7 months later): the line at Tin Roof was pretty long so my wife convinced me to run over to gyro shack "real quick"... Another chance and another mistake. First, there were three cars ahead of me in line. The employee came out to take orders on the tablet so I was hopeful it would move fast... Wrong. It took over 30 minutes in line before I got my food (not exaggerating). By that time I was ready to get out of there so I didn't take my original advice, and didn't check my order prior to pulling away. When I got home I was disappointed to find that some of our food was missing. My wife called them and they said to come back for it, but how hard is it to get an order right? While I was sitting at the window waiting for my food all of the employees, who are teenage boys, were just goofing around talking about random stuff... Maybe if there were any kind of manager there they'd be more likely to pay...

I’m not one to leave reviews often but had to share my experience mostly about the employee. I visited today, 4/15/25 at noon as I needed a quick lunch on a busy day. I don’t frequent Gyro Shack anymore because the food has gone up in price and down in quality from what I’ve experienced. Today the man helping me was very polite and I noticed he was the only one working. He asked me if I wanted sauce for my fries which was a huge plus because I always forget and the food was exceptionally good. The fries were hot and crispy and a massive portion, the spicy bacon avocado gyro had crispy bacon and ripe avocados and tons of meat and sauces. So good I just had to share and I have a feeling my positive experience is directly related to the young man and he alone has me thinking of going again and telling my friends in the next...
