Gyro Stop

I used to work for Sammy years ago at City Café which is by all the clubs when I was like 17 years old maybe even younger. I am 43 years old now and I’m still eating Sammy’s food so with that being said. Gyro Stop is the place to go. Sammy is still cooking up good food. Man y’all should try it.

I lived in NY for 20 years and the food here is as good as you will find in Astoria, Queens. Only classic Greek ingredients in your Gyro’s. You will not find three cheese fiesta mix thrown over everything like another restaurant in Harker Heights. This is the real deal and you wont be disappointed. Don’t expect fancy décor, just good old fashioned Greek food.

We stopped in because the Unilocalsters, the food and service were very good so we’re glad we did. This place is a bit of a dive, don’t try it you need some hoity-​toity in your life. If you want some of the tenderest flavorfullest gyro wheel of heated meat… you’re in the right place. My wifey had the gyro basket, came with a gyro stuffed with goodness and some of the bestest greek fries, I went all out and enjoyed a monster plate of gyro meat, lettuce, maters’, pita bread… neither of us old people could finish our plates… I was eyeballing some interesting baklava but refrained because I don’t need 11,000 carbs in my diabetic diet. Lots of money from all over the world on display, cool…

First time eating here since coming to Killeen. Honestly I’m disappointed I didn’t come sooner. For lunch I got the standard gyro meal for me and my wife. By the time I was half way through with both the gyro and the fries, I was getting very much full. The gyro was definitely one of the biggest ones I’ve tried.
The taste alone was awesome. The lamb fell apart with ease for both me and my wife’s. The peta bread was not burnt or under cooked and was still nice and warm even after an 8 minute drive back home. The amount of ingredients was definitely just right. Not too much onions, tomatoes, or sauce but definitely didn’t skimp on anything.
Overall definitely would recommend to friends and family.

Good solid Mediterranean food. The gyros meat blend is the high quality version with lots of lamb. Many places use the cheaper variety that is mostly beef. Sammy is a great guy and does a great job. Good place. Highly recommended.

This is one of those «hole in the wall» establishments that ends up serving great food! Like the other reviewers said this old guy runs the joint all by himself and is a very quiet person. While I’m waiting on my food to be made, I would gander at all the currency from damn near everyplace in the world. When I PCS’d to Hood I stopped at the Gyro Nook expecting traditional Gyros that I love and was disappointed when they served me something other than that. I made a stop here and never went to any other gyro place from here on out!

It is a one man operating place this Sunday afternoon and although there is not much to the restaurant, the owner has been doing business there for 16 years! As another reviewer has said, the owner is a quiet man but once you strike up a conversation he warms up to you. We were impressed to see all the foreign currency displayed in a few photo frames on the wall and find out that he is from Lebanon. His customers come in and give him currency from different countries to add to his collection all the time. This place is the real deal people. The wonderful flavor and quality of the food definitely gives this place a great reputation.
The food was really amazing! I had the gyro platter and it was extremely filling portion-​wise and I was very happy with how great it tasted. My husband ordered the Philly cheese steak and he absolutely loved it. It blew his mind how tasty and flavorful it was. Although he ate all his with the perfectly cooked fries, he still had half my platter. We definitely left the place satisfied.
We WILL be returning again for some MORE great food!!!

Love this place. The owner of this place is so nice, great with kids and does an outstanding job of preparing gyros. I recommend this place to all my friends and will be coming back.

I’ll give this place 3.5−4.0 stars. The gyro sandwiches are great– not sure how exactly authentic they are but they do taste fresh. We have only ordered gyros here but I would like to try the falafel. Nothing fancy on the inside but the owner/​operator is very nice and will remember you if you come in often. The lamb is sliced fresh, the pita is fluffy & warm and the tzatziki sauce is awesome!

The other reviews about this place are spot on. The location is not the best and the décor is not fancy at all, but it is clean and the food is fresh and AMAZING. Hummus — fantastic. Baba ganoush — terrific. Gyro — get it. Falafal — best ever. Seriously. Eat here!

The food here is probably the best Greek food I’ve ever had. Nothing is ever over done or stale. Everything always tastes freshly made and well seasoned. The portions are just right, almost bordering on too much and the price is very reasonable.
The owner (who always seems to be working there) seems a bit shy and quiet at first, but after a few times of talking to him he’s always very warm and willing to chat.
The only downsides to Gyro Stop are 1) it’s all the way downtown and 2) it’s not exactly in the nicest area of town. You might be a little apprehensive about going in when you pull into the parking spot. The décor inside is definitely original. The chairs have seen many butts and they show it.
But don’t let any of this keep you away! If you don’t want to eat inside, at least call ahead and pick up some delicious food to go! If I was a millionaire, I’d pick this guy up and plunk him down in some awesome new little restaurant and eat gyro’s till I popped.

This is up from the Killeen post office on 10^th Street. It’s totally not glamorous & has been there for years & years & years (according to a 74yr old local woman I know). The owner is Greek and he’s very nice. I stopped in late one afternoon to get some take away for dinner and he made everything right there in front of me while I waited. The décor inside is older, the tables & chairs have definitely seen their share of wear & tear, but don’t let any of this keep you from eating there. It’s older & worn inside, but it is clean. I got a Greek salad, which was huge, and a gyro with fries. While the portions were not not overwhelmingly huge, they were not skimpy by any means, and everything was very good — granted it’s hard to mess up a gyro, but the meat was not dry or tough, it was perfect. I’ll definitely be going back.
