The Gyro Spot

This place is the definition of fresh and homemade. Practically everything in the restaurant is made fresh everyday. Excellent prices for the quality of food that you get.I had the Greek salad and added gyro meat. It was excellent with the homemade dressing and homemade tzatziki (best I've had in a long time). The salad came with 2 delicious grape leaves. The lemon chicken and rice soup is a MUST! It was absolutely delicious, even on a hot day.The service was friendly, the place is very clean, and I will definitely be back. Give them a try! 9.6/10

100.0 health score as of June 2024 woohoo. They do have souvlaki with an option of getting it on a kebab or in a pita. I ordered the chicken souvlaki in a pita and it was delicious. I also tried the avgolemono soup which was delicious. I like that the baklava price is for a full square, not just a triangle half.

I've wanted to try this place for a long time and it didn't disappoint. I'm just kicking myself for not doing so earlier. This place might be small but they have enough room for a few tables and you can dine Al fresco too. You can watch them make your food or stare at the grilling meat as it turn slowly as you wait for your food. We did take away. Got the lamb and beef platter, lamb and beef gyro, chicken gyro and chicken souvlaki. Love their portion. It definitely filled our empty stomach after a hard workout. The meats were tender and not dry. The salads were fresh and crisp. The tzatziki was spot on. The rice was not hard. The fries were not soggy and well seasoned.We will definitely come back.

Craving quick greek food, this looked promising. A good mix of reviews. It's not good for groups. Only seating for about 10 people at tables for two. Carryout must be their bulk of business. There is seating outdoors for another 8 people, but you're in the parking lot. Clean - A grade. Staff friendly enough.Only sell canned coke products and bottled water. No brewed teas or fountain drinks.A bit pricey, sandwiches $10, combo adds $5 to get fries and canned drink. $ 1 more if upgraded to greek fries. $5 for baklava. For only me, $21 this visit Portions are ample enough to share, though. Pita is warm, soft, and fresh. Shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and wow, enough red onions. I pulled most of them off.Greek fries were hot, fresh fries tossed with cubed ? Feta and herbs. It could use a drizzle more evoo as the feta seemed dry and didn't adhere to the fries.The baklava had an off taste. Old? Prepackaged? I pulled the layers, ate the ones with pecans. Tossed the rest. I'd return for just a sandwich and skip the baklava. May try the chicken gyro next visit.

Stoped here while in the area due to high Yelp ratings. Located in the Walmart shopping area off Center street in Fuquay-Varina. Small place, only 4 small tables inside so not suitable for even a group of four. Mostly take out. Menu is on a big board, but when I tried to order one of the combos the guy was ringing up each item instead of the combo price, which was a lot more, so I changed my order. Got the lamb gyro and it was good, a good helping of meat that is cooked on the spit. They put onions on, so be sure to say no onions if you don't want them. Ordered Greek fries and was very disappointed. Below average fries with a little feta on it, not really Greek fries. No fountain drinks here, no tea, only cans. Another negative for me.I will not return here.

Better. Beef n Lamb gyro was on point. Extra meat is worth it. Pita was perfect. Soft and fresh. The portion of fries was incredible compared to so many places. I didn't even have to even warm up the fries when we got home. They were fresh, not mushy or wet from the ride home. And they have a 100 on cleanliness. Great place.

Background: Myself & my girlfriend grew up in LA & NY. With experience in culinary art. Parents were Sous/ Executive Chefs at well credited restaurants in the big cities. If you're looking for authentic Greek / Mediterranean cuisine. This spot may not be the place for you. We may be wrong but I feel like the food was almost tailored for a community that has not been exposed to much Mediterranean food. The Gyro Spot's food was lacking a lot of flavor. Lack of seasoning especially in their meats; ie, lamb, beef, and chicken. Color is flavor! And with just seeing the food with my eyes at first, determined the expectation of the lack of flavor, & we were right. It's hard to taste the Mediterranean flavor profiles. We had to add hot sauce and salt to make up for the lack of flavor. The soup tasted like Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup. On the other hand, their flatbread that came with the Gyros were fresh and delicious. The Tzatziki was packing with flavor along with the hummus. Vinaigrette was also really good. Service was very polite and friendly. Thank you.

This Food was soooo Fresh and service was quick and spot on. I would like to visit again to try the the chicken Philly. Food was fresh and they give you a good portion.

Been here twice and both times was just as good, I did take out the first time we got 2 order....I got the Chicken Gyro Platter which was very very good I enjoyed it til the very last bite! My wife got the SOUVLAKI STICK (Chicken on a stick) with a pita and she really enjoyed it also, and we said we have to try it again and just this past Saturday we went and ate there with our 15 month old, I got the SOUVLAKI STICK platter which was very good and my only critique was that they could've put a little lettuce and sliced tomatoes on the stick since it's a platter. some kind of veggies other then that the taste was phenomenal and my wife got the same thing with the soup which was good too her only critique was the Lemon Chicken Soup had rice in it instead of orzo which we are use to coming from NY, but because of these 2 little small critiques I'm not not going to give them a 5 star review because everything was great, the flavors were on point, the portions was good, the service was phenomenal quick and the best part of our experience the cleanliness of the establishment was best I've seen in a very very long time that was amazing! Good jobWe will be back to try more of your food thank you for bringing quality to town!

Greek salad with chicken- ingredients were fresh and the salad was large! Only downfall is the dressing lacked in flavor.
