Gyro Stand

Shhh Secret menu alert! PRO TIP: Call ahead and order 1 lb of their grilled chicken to-go and you won't be disappointed!! It's not on the menu, it's only known by regulars, so if you order it they'll be like, "Oh heck yeah, they're cool af" about you. Which you want! You want them to think you're cool! And you want to eat so much grilled chicken! Omg so, so much. You win, they win, the chickens don't, unfortunately.. but you can't please everybody- and honestly, the sooner you learn that life lesson, the better! So you win twice! Be a winner, eat grilled chicken, you cool guy, you!!!

Someone told me the chicken skewers (kebabs) were amazing at the Gyros Stand. They weren't. Live and learn, I guess.

I went here a second time and wanted to update the review. The menu was still overwhelming and they actually had even more signs up than last time. I asked what the Athena dinner cost and then the teenager cashier was trying to figure out the difference between the a la carte vs dinner with the chef. I think it was the dinner comes with rice? But the cook said something about an avocado. I said the regular chicken was fine. Then half way through the chef loudly asked or maybe told me I ordered something else? And something again about an avocado? And I said I already paid so whatever I paid for. The cashier didn't seem to think this was weird. The chicken Athena a la carte was very good. Basic half of a whole chicken (with bones) Greek style. Maybe odd that it's just chicken but that's what I ordered. The custard is better in a dish. The patio is very close to cars coming through the driveway and touching the next property, car lot. The wasn't relaxing enough for me so I stayed inside.

The ice cream was overpriced, icy, tasteless and the sprinkles were stale. We threw it all away.

I was in the area and needed a quick meal. My Yelp bookmarks showed a few options to pick from, but a gyro sounded good when I saw The Gyro Stand was one of them. As is my usual, I ordered a plain gyro sandwich with just the meat and pita.The pita was good. It didn't seem to be dry and had some nice crispy edges. The gyro meat was cut much more thinly than I prefer because I usually pick the meat up a piece at a time and eat that separate from the pita and save the pita for near the end. Because it was so thin, eating it that way would have taken way too long due to the sheer number of pieces. The flavor of the meat was a little off compared to other gyros I've had; not in a bad way, just a little different tasting. I'd rather have Oakland Gyros or Golden Gyros, but The Gyro Stand works in a pinch.

We live so close and had never been but will be back. Be forewarned that it is cash only but they do have an ATM on premise. Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. On a Saturday night they were definitely busy. Our total came to $20 exactly for two gyros, large fries, and a soda. The gyro were very big and delicious. There were options to add more meat and veggies which I can't imagine doing because it was pretty big just on its own. Fries were okay but the downfall of the meal in my opinion.There were lots of sundae and shake options. I wanted vanilla custard with caramel and pecans on top and they made it happen!

Tl;dr little mom-n-pop type restaurant with bomb a$$ burgersI'll be honest - I've never once gotten a gyro here. Will I one day? Maybe. But when they make, buttery, delicious-with-all-the-fixings burgers the way they keep doing ... I don't know if I'll get around to it. This is a no frills place with great burgers, shakes, fries and (I'm guessing) gyros.I live pretty close by and decided to check this place out for the first time with my folks. They have an old-style pen and pad ticketing system and a little grandma who is clearly still helping with stuff and is just the cutest.I've had the Greek burger with feta, tomato and Greek olives which was rich and the acidity of the olive/tomato and creaminess is the cheese paired really well. Also had the Greek fries with lemon juice, oregano, romano cheese and garlic salt. All the burgers I've tried have been great, the one above was my favoI also ALWAYS try to open the door the wrong way - every time! And every time they just look at my and shake their heads (thanks for being so understanding of my dorky tendencies, people that work at the Gyro Stand).Do yourself a favor and grab a burger, some fries and a strawberry shake on a hot day or when you're pretty hungover (it's a God send).

I have driven past this place for years and I have it bookmarked so today I finally went over because I love me some gyro meat. As you walk up it is smaller than it looks and dated with a small parking lot.The inside is totally dated also and looks like a 90s hot dog stand with the old menu boards. It's so busy behind the counter with all the menus and things crammed in the kitchen area. There is purple booths and and wire table/chairs and it feels cramped. The menu is pretty big with everything from burgers to sundaes but I'm getting the regular Gyro because it's in the name.The Gyro was the over stuffed kind with out getting the bigger options topped with two tomato slices and tons of thin tender onions, the onions would be great grilled on a burger. The tzatziki sauce was two cups with an off taste. As I took my first bite I thought the pita was thin and fresh with that slight chew which stood up to the over stuff. The Gyro meat was a little disappointing because it was the crispy/dry and super thinly sliced kind, this is why I get excited when I get thick cut juicy Gyro meat from other places. When you slice the Gyro meat razor thin, your slicing the crispy/dry/crust off the hunk so there is no moist meat on the sandwich. I will admit that is some skill with out a deli slicer for consistency because all the Gyro meat was perfect thin sliced, LOL.Overall the Gyro was good but just average and not that knock your Sox off kind which didn't topple my Milwaukee favorite place.

A friend of mine said one of the best burgers he had in town was at this stand. I'd driven past it dozens of times and never gave it a thought. So I stopped in and ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries.WOW! Now I can say this was one of the best burgers I've had in town, too. The burger was juicy and the patty was nicely seasoned. The bun was buttered and toasted on the grill. The fries were solid, but the burger is what left the impression. This is a burger I will go back for soon!

Super fresh gyro with well seasoned chicken. It was excellent and we got a burger too and that was amazing also.
