| - I like to start off trips north with my stomach filled with one of their tasty, over-flowing gyros. I'm not kidding, they're enormous. Like, the size of my head -- not that I have a particularly big head. Gyros aren't all they make. Neh, Athens also makes a mean Souvlaki, Spanakopita, Baklava, Galaktoboureko and Karidopita.
The top-notch menu easily ratchets Athens Gyros to the realm of gourmet road food. They should've named this place Hermes' Gyros, as he's the Greek god of roads. Sure, it's no sit-down, reservation-only, hoity-toity joint. What, with the lack of linen napkins and flaming goat cheese OPA! -- go to Detroit's Greek Town for that. Athens Gyros is a must-visit for anyone in the area or passing through that has a penchant for authentic flavors of Greece.
Do not be deterred by the unassuming and humble exterior. Do not allow the Shell Station's fuel pumps out front to sway you from exploring the truly authentic menu. Your taste buds will thank you later.
