Gyro Guys

Generally good gyro, but not outstanding. Had regular gyro combination, was what I was looking for.

The gyros are great. The workers are very friendly and this is one of the cleanest restaurants I’ve been to (even the restroom). I will defiantly visit here again!

Saw this place on Unilocal while running a work errand near Old Brooklyn. I have a soft spot for gyros — specifically, my belly — so I had to investigate.
So glad I did, because I otherwise wouldn’t have met The Gyro Guy. And by that, I mean a toasted pita stacked with a generous portion of perfectly griddled gyro meat, juicy chicken breast, fresh cut fries, lettuce, tomato, onions, and a huge dollop of homemade tzatziki (asked for hot sauce on the side, too).
Not sure what they supplier they use, but the gyro meat is more juicy and flavorful than what’s served at most other joints. Friendly service, too. Definitely worth the haul down to Old Brooklyn.

This place is great! Super fast, super tasty, super clean! We order at least once a week at work! They also deliver and do large orders! Very accommodating! Huge selection on the menu. I am not a gyro fan but I enjoy their subs and chicken.

It’s hard to make a really good yearo (to spell it the way it is pronounced), because all but one of the ingredients come prepackaged. That lump of spiced beef and lamb comes from a commercial distributor. So, probably, did the pita bread.
This is why, if you’re at a street fair, gyros are safe choices. Unless the meat was pre-​cut and then left unrefrigerated to go bad), everyone pretty much uses the same stuff.
The only things you can do to make the food good are (1) select very high-​quality lettuce, white onion and tomatoes at the wholesale market on E 55^th and (2) make a good tzatziki (the cucumber, yogurt and garlic sauce).
Gyro Guys does both. One of the things that helps is that the owner runs a catering business after he closes at 7 PM. That’s a cut-​throat industry; pink, tasteless tomatoes (with unripened centers) and wilted lettuce will cost you a client. By getting the stuff for one business, they can use it in the day job.
It’s why the potatoes and rings taste better– he’s using better product. The beer in the ring batter helps too, and they change the oil regularly. Rings (which are harder to get right) are better than the fries (I know 5 – 10 places as good).
The sauce has good product– and it isn’t jazzed up. They’re not under the delusion that it should taste like Big Mac Sauce (as the overhyped place a few blocks north believes). It’s SUPPOSED to be a little sharp, so it bites you a bit and highlights the meat. The yogurt isn’t bland white stuff; you can taste the cucumber and the garlic
(The other review is right; it does use a lot. As Martha Stewart, the daughter of Satan likes to say, this is «a GOOD thing».)
Size on the colossus is good. I’m a big guy and it fills me up. Prices are reasonable, given the amount of food.
Can’t say how the service is because I’ve never come in when they were slammed. Every time it’s been really fast. But if there’s one person in front of you and no one behind you, how can you judge?
Never ordered any sandwich but the gyros, but I assume the other stuff is fine. The guy runs a catering business; I figure he knows how to make a turkey or tuna salad sandwich. ‚
Docking one star because (1) traffic can be a hassle and street parking can be a little tough (best bet is the side street, but you can end up being pretty far down the block, (2) no fountain drinks (only cans and bottles), which means no ice on hot days and (3) all they got is baklava for dessert.
But if you need a gyro, this would definitely be the pace to go.

2 words… GO HERE!!!
I’m from Cali and am super picky about my food. I wish we had a Gyro Guys in LA. I got the super gyro with extra meat and it tasted incredible. I’m Greek so I already went in with high expectations of what I thought the food should be like. Very authentic! the staff are friendly and most importantly it was a clean environment. I love supporting local businesses. I actually got to meet the gyro guys which I gotta say reminded me of my cousins back home. great food, great people, clean environment! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Just visiting from California. The Original Greek Gyro was delicious. Wish we had more places like this. Guy behind the counter was super friendly.

Super good gyros, and great guy serving it. Track them down — Unilocal brought me in (just passing through from out of town) and it was a pleasant surprise in every way.

Great gyros!!! Only thing west coast is missing. When I’m in town it’s a must.
THANKS!

My favorite gyro joint in Northeast Ohio. I have been there 6 times and I have only had gyros and fries so I can’t attest to the quality of the rest of the menu. Who cares? If they make such a great gyro why try anything else??? I brought 5 friends there at different times and they all love it too. Oh yeah, the baklava is terrific too …

Had cornbreef in a pita and fries and when I finished I knew what I wanted for lunch tomorrow… And the clam chowder taste like I was in cape cod. I just want some more.

Awesome Fresh Squeezed Lemonade. Outstanding food and service. I love the #4 THE COLOSSUS and the fresh cut fries with there spice on them. Also their Aunt makes the wonderful homemade Baklava.

In the old Brooklyn neighborhood where I grew up. Near OLGC. Gyro guy sandwich: chicken and Greek gyro meat with homemade sauce. Stuffed with fries, onions, and tomatoes. Combination of all flavors is awesome. Friendly service, clean place and open kitchen area. If in old Brooklyn you need to try this place. I’ll be back again. Glad there are still local places like this to call our own.

Had their gyros at a festival. Never thought you can get such an authentic gyro in old Brooklyn! Highly recommend! Great menu, great service, great prices!
I only give 5 stars to a place that offers something no other place has… This place has some amazing sauce!

Tried a gyro from this place a while back it seemed over priced and small could of been better!

Solid choice for a quick sandwich, if you are in to Gyro’s.
Went here during lunchtime recently where they always seem to have some kind of (well priced) special going. Ordered a Gyro with fries and my buddy ordered a Gryo with onion rings.
Sandwiches were delivered to the table and were bursting at the seams! Grilled pita overflowing with tender lamp meat (from a spit) with the traditional tomatoes and onions on top. Tzatziki sauce on the side had a lovely dill «tang» to it. really good on the sandwich. Both the fries and onion rings were pretty straightforward, onion rings were really crisp and not overly battered with a nice flavor.
If I’m in the area again, I will be sure to return!

One of the better gyros in Cleveland. I did not burp all day like I usually do after consuming gyro meat. This was great because I had lunch with coworkers at Gyro Guys on a Friday and went out on the town that night.

One of my fav lunch spots. Real close to the office and the food comes fresh since it’s always cooked to order. The fresh cut fries are beyond good.

The inside is very clean and decorated ‘fun’. The gyros were excellent and the tzatziki was very good too. Produce was very fresh and flavorful. We intend on returning very soon. They have some unique gyros on the menu that I need to try out.

High-​fives. no??? Okay, Four stars.
Delicious gyro I have visited three times and each time satisfied. Each time I have had traditional gyro and tasty french fries. Gyro meat is nice shavings and I add tomato and onion to good pita. Tzatziki is good as well. Holler back.
They have white aprons on the walls filled with good tidings and signatures. At the register is the next work in progress with a Sharpie for you when you visit. This is somewhat like Unilocal however you also get a gyro.
Someone please post pictures of this place. I feel depressed writing a Unilocal virtual review. Their logo is a caricature of two Guys that I assume are Greek proprietors. I don’t know their names and now I am depressed. I am going to stop typing now.
