Customer Reviews

"Driving through we looked for a restaurant that was quick off the highway. Called ahead and ordered Gyros to go. We stopped to pick them up and decided to eat there instead. Gyros would have been messy in the vehicle. We made the right decision! Amanda was our server and extremely accommodating when we said we wanted to change our order to eat inside. They only had the soup prepared so it wasn't a problem at all. Our meal came with the Gyro on Pita with a potato and other side. It was a lot of food for the cost. We asked for the pita to be grilled crispy and it was done the most perfect we've ever had. The gyro meat was cut in smaller pieces instead of long slices but it made the food much easier to eat. We each at cream of potato soup. We had fruit and onion rings as a side. It was a large portion of onion rings. This place is worth the stop! We didn't have the buffet but took pics of it. The salad bar looked great too. Next time!! The staff were all so friendly. You won't be disappointed stopping here. The prices are extremely reasonable. Portions huge."
