STOP-N-GO GYROS — Restaurant in San Antonio

I ordered online Sat evening. It required 30 mins to prepare according to the app. I had to wait an additional 15 mins. That gave me time to sit and observe that the place is filthy. They had boxes of soda sitting beside the drink cooler and there was a lot of food debris all around the boxes, the floor in general, tops of tables, etc. There were three men working. One definitely did not know how to do anything and kept messing up to go orders. He had earbuds in both ears. I thought maybe they were hearing aids, but based on a woman having to repeat her order 3 times and his repeated attempts to give her bags that did not have the food she ordered in them, my guess is that they were not, in fact, enhancing his hearing. Another man had to come over to help. The third man was kind and confirmed that they had received my order when I entered, assured me it would be ready in just a few more mins, asked if I wanted something to drink, etc. which was nice. However, he too let me sit right there in front of them for almost 15 mins while my falafel and fries were just sitting there waiting to be packaged-- before I stood up and asked why I was having to wait so long. Despite my adding a tip when I placed the order, I had to wait a long time for no good reason, and no napkins or silverware were bagged with the order. All three, IMO could have been spared to do dining area clean up.

The flavors in the food were great, but the wait time, lack of cleanliness, and disorganization will prevent me from returning.

The falafel and Tzatziki were delicious, I would pass on the babaganush and hummus. My husband liked the gyro and the greek fries were good.

Today @ 9am- 15 hrs after placing the order online, I received the text update from the online ordering tool that my food was ready, just to really drive home the point of...

Great food. The place is a little small for a larger gathering, but takeout was quick, and you can watch them prepare the meals.

The person working at the prep area was very detailed about the correct balance of ingredients, and the presentation was fabulous- especially for food in disposable to-go containers. Take a look at the videos I took, and you will see the care and love that goes into his prep.

We ordered: A gyro salad - awesome mix of greens, tomatoes, onion, dressing, and feta cheese crumbles. Crisp and fresh components, dressing was great - may have been made in-house, and the serving was huge. Thoroughly enjoyed this dish.

The Gyro greek fries. You have to try this, too good to describe. Like smothered fries but with a Mediteranian twist. Fries were freshly cooked at order time and lightly seasoned with the perfect compliment of salt and spice for the "Greek" theme.

A lamb Gyro plate. Perfec salad, like the above but smaller portion, humus, pita, Greek yogurt sauce, and lamb meat (of course). The lamb was perfectly roasted with just the right slice thickness and matched our expectations in the pre-cooking seasoning. Some of the best ground lamb in town - it might even have a touch of zatar. Yum!

Balaclava - pretty good and very flaky pastry crust. May have been a ready to serve product, but absolutely good enough. I wish it had some pistachio crumbles on it, though.

I will be sampling other entrees because these were so good that I can't wait to try their chicken.

About $12 per person with ample leftovers for midnight stacks. I would love to try their catering sometime. Again,...

Absolutely brilliant! So good! Literally been back five or six times within a month since we discovered this place. Do yourself a favor, try it. Attention to quality you can taste, just really proud of what the owners are doing here. Not one to leave reviews, but this place made me want to do it, just because it's that good, amd i can tell the ownersreally care abkut what they're doing here. We love the traditional Gyro combo with Greek fries, cannot go wrong with that. My wife gets the Gyro bowl, just brilliant. The taste is delicious, with just the right amount of seasonings, the dishes are bursting with flavor. Can't get enough of it, Absolutely love it. The portions are great and the prices just right, reasonable, nothing too expensive here. So, if your in the mood for, or thinking of trying Gyros for the first time, you cannot go wrong with this place, especially if you try any of the things I mentioned above, oh and their hummus, great as well! This is now our new favorite place near our home, we'll keep going back here for sure, and we highly...
