I was out this way getting a recall on our car fixed and decided to stop and grab a gyro on my way home. A sign on the building says ‘best gyro in TN’ so I had high hopes. Instead it was more like on ELF when the coffee shop has a ‘best coffee in NYC’ sign and Jovie takes a sip while blindfolded and says ‘it tastes like a crappy cup of coffee’. It definitely wasn’t the best gyro in TN. I’d be surprised if it was the best gyro in Springfield. This isn’t a traditional gyro. Instead of being in a piece folded pita bread it’s a stuffed pita pocket. The way they stuff it makes it hard to eat and a weird experience. The onions are shoved in first. I never had a bite of onion because it is at the very bottom and by then I was over it. Lettuce is next. I had one half of a slice of tomato and then a ridiculous amount of meat on top. There’s sauce too but like maybe a teaspoon or less. It definitely needed more sauce. The meat was extremely salty and dry and since a majority of what you’re eating is just meat there’s nothing to break up the saltiness of it. All of your first bites will be meat because of how they layer it all. Then you will have lots of bites that are mostly lettuce. Your pita will start to fall apart. It will become impossible to eat. It was the strangest gyro I’ve ever had. I actually hated this gyro. I threw more than half of it away. I hate wasting food and money and that’s what this was. Aside for the food being horrible, the place was clean and quiet. The service fine. Nothing...
Read moreThe worst Gyro's I've ever had!!!! First time here will be my last. I ordered 2 combo Gyro sandwiches. When I got them home they were in pita bread, there was so much lettuce in them I had to take most of it out. I found a few onions and 2 small tomato pieces. That sause they raved about being there own special sauce tasted like watered-down mayo. The only thing good was the meat. That was authentic. Real gyros are made on a round thick flat bread with lost of onions, tomato and some lettuce, topped with a cucumber dressing. I had the side as a Greek salad they gave me there mayo sauce for the dressing. Whats with that where was the Italian dressing, I dont mean to sound rude but if the people of Springfield and surrounding areas actually had a real Gyro, this place would go out of business. Arby's made a better gyro when they offered them...
Read moreIf you live in Springfield, Tenn'see and you haven't visited this Mecca: Go. Now. You'll thank me. If you're passing through, take your chance and stop. You'll be hungry sometime; you ain't a camel. And when that time comes, you'll be lovin' those grape leaves! Or that hummus! Or that gyro sammy you picked up on a lark for later. That thing comes with some crinkle fries that are insanely seasoned to perfection. Definitely more addictive than rock cocaine. Which is good, since they ain't sellin' that crack... But they are slingin' that gyro plate, that you should try first in all its lamb, saffron rice, pita, Greek salad, and special-Robertson County-recipe tzatziki sauce glory. With the grape leaves. And the hummus. And an extra pita just to sop it all up. Finish with one! baklava. Just...
