King Gyros

The worst gyro I've ever had. EverFirst, the fountain drinks were watered down. The gyro itself was cold, the tomatoes tasted like wood the onions were cut thick the meat was dry and salty and the tzatziki sauce was as sweat. As a closer, I was charged $5 for using a CC on a $10 meal. No warning. Now I know why there was nobody there at 1:00 pm.

Since I changed the way I go home from work due to construction on my normal route, I've been passing by King Gyros every day. I ate here once years ago before I started using Yelp, so I decided to stop again and leave a review this time. My order consisted of a plain gyro and mozzarella sticks.The mozzarella sticks were good. The breading was Italian seasoned and noticeably different than most other breaded mozzarella sticks. I'm fairly certain they're Riverside Foods brand, which you can buy with a guest pass, or if you work for a restaurant, from Restaurant Depot just south of downtown for anyone else that likes them.Just as others have commented in their their reviews, the flavor and quality of the gyro meat is excellent, but it is a smaller gyro than pretty much every other restaurant I've had one from. I'd love to say that I'll rush back and can't wait to have it again because the taste was amazing, I just know I can get more bang for the buck on gyros elsewhere that aren't too far off flavor wise.

This Gyro will rock you! They're the Gyro champions, my friends! They're a little bohemian, and will send you into rhapsody! Who wants to live forever without these Gyros!? Oh wait. No. All of that is not for King Gyros. It's for Queen Gyros.This is a cute little sleepy Gyro shop that looks like it's straight out of 1973. The Gyro was not bad and the service was really nice. It's really out of the way so it's unlikely that tourists to Milwaukee will ever have a reason to come up here, but if you happen to be driving by, it's a good spot to stop and get a gyro. In some cities I'd give it a 5 star, but the sky high standards of Milly Wore Kay Gyros (they were invented just down the road in Chicago) mean that 4 stars is closer to the truth.They have a lot of other good diner stuff on the menu as well, so you can explore for yourself.And if you're having an affair with the owner, it's Fling Gyros. If you crash a plane into this store it's Wing Gyros. And if you're an Englishmand in Milwaukee like me, it's Sting Gyros.

Now for my review of the gyro. The nice woman was working the counter again and helped me.The place looks relatively clean with lots of dark colors which makes you feel like your in a cave.The menu has everything from breakfast to fish frys for a gyro place so I ordered the gyro sandwich, see my pictures.After grabbing my gyro I noticed the bag was on the light side compared to other Milwaukee gyro places. When I opened the box I noticed that it is small compared all the other places I have had a gyro at.The gyro meat was flavorful and moist but sliced super thin for my liking. The pita was nicely toasted and hot. The onions and tomatoes were fresh. The sauce seemed fresh and not that watery frozen kind that some places give you. This is not your average Milwaukee gyro where you have to eat the meat off the top before you can fold it over, it fools over and nothing falls out right from the start.My final thoughts is that I agree with Shirl T. That for $7.75 which is the average price for a gyro around town it's the smallest and a poor value when compared to other places. If they don't sample the competition and see what the same amount of money gets you I fear they will not last long.I organize the Friday work lunch and we have two regular gyro places that the guys really like and I was hoping this place could get into the rotation because they are close but if I brought back what I got today compared to what all the other places serve I would hear it from everyone.

I got the 5oz gyro and it was delicious. The bread wasn't overcooked and the sauce was a nice texture and tasted great. I will definitely be going back.

I've been going there pretty regularly for the last couple of weeks for lunch and everything I've had has been cooked perfectly.No frills, straightforward, diner food with simple flavors cooked right. Also, their kitchen and dining area are IMMACULATE. I was a little worried from the outside, but when you get inside the place is clean and kitchen is spotless with everything in sealed containers and labeled.The people working there are super nice and customer service has been good. My only complaint would be that the name is a bit misleading. The Gyro is good, but it's clearly purchased from a vendor and probably pre-sliced. Their real strength are all of the other diner classics like their patty melt.My lunch today. A turkey club. Simple, delicious, with everything cold that's supposed to be cold, hot that's supposed to be hot, and crunchy that's supposed to be crunchy. A nice serving of crinkly cut fries that are crisp on the outside with a pillowy potato center and a dash of seasoning salt.These folks deserve to be way busier than they are during lunch. You should give them a try.

Absolutely fantastic gyros. Costumer service was great. Wonderful hole in the wall restaurant. Highly recommend.

Perfect tasty Great Gyro! Wonderful customer service! A Clean place... On Milwaukee! ........................

This place has better food than mykonos or Webb's and mostly made from scratch. I wish they would get more business because it's nice to get a home cooked meal. They have nice seating also outdoor seating. Service and cooking are done by owner. Food is amazing. I usually go for breakfast which is yummy.

This place is a hidden gem! Look at this fresh salad and delicious gyro. We live down the way and couldn't enjoy this place more!
