Forbes Gyro

I went here for lunch with my work and the place was pretty empty. Can't really say much about the staff because they just take your order but don't serve the food to you. it did take very long time to get the food so if you are in time crunch, I wouldn't recommend going here.

First off, I have been searching for a Gyro in Oakland - and was looking forward to trying Forbes Gyro. This place was just bad. I saw the man working there take the lamb meat from a tin pan and put it under a spinning plate heater. I asked if he could please cut fresh lamb off the spit and he said this was fresh and how he makes it. I trusted him - this was not fresh. The meat was so dry it was hard to swallow and had no flavor - I had taken the sandwich to go or I would have just returned it. I even had a hard time finding the Gyro sandwich on the menu- that should have been a warning. Easy to find hamburgers- maybe they should just change the name to Forbes Hamburgers. This Gyro was "hell" no, never again. The wall mural was uninviting, the atmosphere unfriendly, the Gyro sauce was not good and the pita was not fresh. to top it off I asked the guy to make it fresh and he refused. I want my money back. I paid $8.99 for a total worthless sandwich that was not fit for anyone to eat. Students, faculty, bar hopppers, hospital workers and patients beware, I learned the hard way by trying and should not have tried this place- take my advise and pass on this terrible takeout restaurant.

Mmmmmmmmm!! I love this place!!Their gyros and stuff grape leaves are amazing. It's hard to find a great gyro in Pittsburgh. Growing up in southside I compare every gyro to the famous shop everyone knows from the southside. So living a cross the river and finding this gyros melts my mouth. Try it. You will love it

Pretty decent place, definitely good gyros. The kebabs and other Mediterranean food leave a little bit to be desired. They also have traditional "American bar, food" with burgers and fries and wings. Maybe trying to be all things to all people?

Really tasty Gyros and quick service. I loved the fries as well. Perfect for takeouts!

Food was a solid 1 I only gave 3 because of customer service and the restaurant is clean but sheesh talk about a lack of flavor is crazy from the lamb gyro meat to the cheese to the tahziki it's all bland needed salt for everything

I've walked past Forbes Gyro many times and never stopped in, but last night I was looking for something quick, easy, and available on uber eats. So that was Forbes Gyro.All in all? It was okay. The chicken gyros were okay -- the meat was almost cubed, which I found a bit strange for a gyro. Tasted fine, but it wasn't anything to write home about. The grape leaves were also fine. Th baklava was fine, but not very crispy.Definitely recommend Ali Baba over on Craig St for grape leaves and Mike and Tony's in the Southside for Gyros. But Forbes Gyro is a perfectly okay place to get dinner in a pinch.

My friend and I ordered pickup from here since we are still on a stay at home order. Overall we had a decent experience - not the worst but not the best.Food - Don't get me wrong, the Gyro I had was amazing!!! I can't say the same for the fries.. Honestly I tried one and didn't eat any more because they were bland. But if you are into that you'd probably enjoy them.Service - The food was prepared quickly, but unfortunately they forgot to give us the drinks we paid for.. We didn't notice until we got home, but we didn't bother to call since we didn't feel like driving back to get them.
