Chicago Style Gyros — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

My family has enjoyed this restaurant for a number of years, dating back to their previous location (next door). You can always rely on quick service and most importantly, good food. We kept things simple normally ordering the number 1 combo (gyro sandwich, drink, and fries).

This evening we dedicated to treat ourselves to desert. We ordered tiramisu. Now, as you may be able to tell by seeing my last name, my family is Italian of direct descent. We went in with a realistic approach knowing this was not homemade but probably a very generic tiramisu most restaurants serve. But hey, if you got the itch, you've got to scratch it.

Our expectations were exceeded at first glance. "Oh wow, what a slice!" The portion was large and it looked to be an enjoyable finish to our meal.

Upon attempting my first bite with a fork I was held back by a solid block of ice. I continued my efforts to shave off any side of the cake thinking "maybe only part of the cake was frozen." The entire piece was deep frozen to the core and one side was even freezer burnt!

When I confronted the lady at the register she told me "Sir, this is how we serve it". I gave her a demonstration of the ice block and fork exhibit while other employes were watching. Either this is truly their standard practice or they were truly too cheap, stubborn, or embarras to fix the little situation. The waitress went on to say "you just wait a couple mins to thaw out". This was completely unacceptable and diminished and otherwise starisractory meal. I'm not one to complain or leave negative reviews but this is a story I'll be telling for years. The cake wasn't worth $3 but I suppose the comedic experience was.

I would advise to stay away from all deserts as their standard practice appears to be presliced cakes placed in a to-go box placed in the back of the freezer.

Upoon entering the restaurant I had a good impression - the place looked fairly modern and clean on the inside. I had arrived for an early business lunch at 11 am. There were plenty of staff visible, but only a couple other patrons that arrived when we did. They had a very large menu with a variety of options, including desserts. I ordered the #2 combo - chicken gyro with tomato, onion, lettuce and cucumber sauce, seasoned fries and a Diet Coke. The staff appeared to be a family of immigrants, possibly of Greek, Turkish or Middle Eastern European heritage. I only mention this because when interacting with the staff while placing, waiting for and paying for our order, the staff did not engage us in any conversation whatsoever, and I don't think I heard them talking amongst themselves, either. They just quietly went about their jobs, asking one-word questions of us like "Tomato?", "Onion?" and "Ranch?" while holding up the item being asked about. This is totally an assumption on my part, but it felt like this might have been due to a limited English vocabulary among at least some of the staff. This didn't hamper them in any way - they efficiently put together our orders. Some might interpret this as being unfriendly or disinterested, but I think it was simply a language barrier.

The food was good, but not exceptional. I've eaten similar meals at other establishments like Kebab Gyro where the gyro meat and the fries were tastier, using different spices and seasonings to bring forth a richer flavor profile than was present in the food I ate here. I'd eat here again, particularly to find out if any of their other dishes are better, but it wouldn't be my go-to option...

Completely disgusting from start to finish. The enviornment is just depressing and the tables and booths are so old, there is no making them look clean. There was no one in there but lounging g and eating employees. The decor is left over from the Chinese place that used to be there and even the hot and cold table you order from looks pathetic. An employee was visible in the back room and sneezed. Instead of covering his mouth, he threw his hands to the sides and sneezed on Un opened jars of produ t. Then he came to the front, no gloves and proceeded to make himself a plate. He went to a back table and ate while putting his feet up on the bench seat. My husband got a plastic fork from the cups and there was a squished bug on the back of it.. the foodwas horrid.i got the fajita plate and it was microwaved dry meat on top of rice and the fried mushrooms I got were freezer burnt and over cooked. The salad was warm and so was the cheese cake. Spent 37.00. To only eat a few bites and took it home out of sheer despair that I had spent 37.00 and didn't want to toss the money in the trash. But the after effects propelled me to toss it anyway. . I will never go back and it is by no stretch of the imagination greek food or...
