Hampton Gyro and Grill - Hampton Bays — Restaurant in Town of Southampton

Luckily, just a half mile west of the Sunrise Highway Exit in Hampton Bays, we came upon the Hampton Gyro and Grille on Montauk highway. ONE WORD - WOW! Maybe two WOW-WOW. Owner Mike and his team opened at the end of last September. His black t-shirt clad staff contribute significantly to the secret of his success. Working together as a top cruise line, they turned around our meal in such a quick time, and every item was cooked flawlessly. But, the number one reason is the food. Simply put, it was delicious and flavorful. Offering both traditional Greek and American favorites, tonight we opted for the Greek menu. For starters, we tried the Olive Hummus and Spinach Pie. The hummus was ultra creamy and served with toasted pitas. The Spinach Pie with golden crispy pastry was a savory delight. For our main dishes, we enjoyed the Classic Gyro and Gyro Platter. The tzatziki sauce was tasty and light and accompanied both selections. The platter also has a Greek Salad and rice, (could also have fries). Not yet open even a year, Mike has grand plans to help accommodate the seasonal swells. Seating more than 50 patrons now, keep your eyes on the Tiana Shopping Plaza as you pass by (when not dining) here for a row of pretty umbrellas he hopes to put out. Mike has another success on his hands! So do stop in soon, enjoy dining inside and put their take-home menu in your pocket. Keep it handy as you are...

They have a great concept, somehow the execution falls ridiculously short. The gyro meat seems like frozen strips even though you can see it comes off of a relatively traditionally cooked chunk. I got the garlic parmesan fries and they were inedible. The rank bitterness of Jarred garlic was overwhelming and the parmesan was such big shaved chips that they not only didn't coat but they melted together into one big inedible Jarred garlic infused chunk. I was relieved when the wind blew my french fries off of my table and across the parking lot. The cheesesteak gyro was an equal proportion gyro meat and sauteed onions and not slivers of sauteed onion like should be in a cheesesteak big french onion soup size rounds of onion heaped atop a modest amount of gyro meat and then absolutely smothered in cheese sauce. I threw 2/3 of the onions away and they took most of the cheese sauce with them. I will not be returning after my second visit of total...

We went to this restaurant for lunch today. I ordered the chicken gyro wrap to go.It took a very long time for our order to be done (3 items) Literally 4 parties ordered from the counter after me were served first. We ordered take out but we ate right outside at a small table. The chicken gyro meat was tough, obviously cut previously and allowed to dry out. It was tough, more like leather. It seemed unevenly reheated. I could not finish the wrap. I went in and spoke to the ( young) manager complaining about the unappetizing chicken, clearly left to dry out and not fresh. She denied it was possible, that the chicken gyro was fresh cut to order. I told her this was not possible and offered to show her the rest of my meal. She did not take me up on it and apologized that it happened in the most unconvincing way. She made no offer of amends and I didn’t want to argue about it. We won’t...
