On a recent trip to Brentwood I was dying for a gyro. Like, literally dying, gasping for air, sure I was would expire if I didn't have a gyro within a few hours.
(ok, I exaggerated at bit)
Google told me that Gyro Spot was the closest (about 3 miles from my hotel), go I thought to myself "Self, you can do this..you can last that 3 miles drive". Of course, at 4:00 in the afternoon that drive is nearly 20 minutes (thank you, Brentwood traffic).
Gyro Spot sits in a retail area facing Old Hickory Boulevard. It doesn't have a flashy, high-tech storefront, it's just a red and white awning that says "Gyro Spot".
Once inside the restaurant looks bigger than it does from the outside. It's not elaborately decorated, but it's comfortable and roomy.
The menu board presents all the options, and there are A LOT. Since I was about to cease to exist if I didn't get a gyro soon, I went with a traditional gyro and fries. (Side note: You can get your gyro on a flat bread or in a pita pocket).
My life-saving gyro took less than 10 minutes to deliver. And MAN, was it amazeballs. Not only was it everything I was looking for to keep me alive, but it was well portioned and the fries were perfectly seasoned and HOT. Absolute perfection. Seriously.
The staff was GREAT and they run a very efficient operation in a small kitchen without tripping over each other.
On my next trip I ordered the gyro, once again, but without the fries and I was plenty full afterwards, proving that the portions are perfect without being obnoxious.
Gyro Spot has become a must-visit on my monthly trip to Brentwood. I don't need to find a new place to get a great gyro. I've...
Read more1:45PM. Hunger at its peak. The line? Five deep. The staff? One single, lonely deli warrior—prepping meals, taking orders, and slowly losing the will to live.
Meanwhile, the rest of us stood there like contestants on Survivor: Publix Edition, wondering who would break first.
And honestly, I don’t know what’s happening in restaurants anymore. Is it a lack of staff… or just a lack of common sense? Because let’s be real—lunch hour is not some surprise pop quiz. It happens every. Single. Day. Yet here we are, starving, watching one poor soul try to do the work of ten.
At this point, I’m convinced management thinks customers eat at 3AM, because clearly, lunchtime staffing is a foreign concept. Publix, you’re slipping—and I’m not sure you’re...
Read moreA very friendly atmosphere. This place is a hidden gem! The restaurant is spotless and floors shine! The menu has something for everyone. Come for the gyro, kabob, and burgers! Kids love it too. Every patron I have met have been super friendly too. Gyro Spot is the place for the entire family or a night out with friends. This place should be packed solid every night but rarely is. The staff has told me they get a lot of to go orders....that works too!!! They are also allergy friendly and I am so happy there's not an ounce of seafood on the menu. They do offer fried fish but its fresh water.
If you want to go to a place with a warm welcome and a great overall experience Gyro Spot is it!
P.S. their onion...
