| - I've checked out The Original Gyro Grills on 2 separate occasions, but both before class and questioning how hungry I actually was (the correct answer: I am always hungry.)
Restaurant size:
It's got a few tables, and is definitely larger when compared with its neighbour Burrito Bandidos. However, you may still wish to have your meal to-go.
Food quality:
The first time I visited, I had the Loaded Gun (chicken & pork, yam & regular fries, OG & tzatziki sauce). Poor choice, as it was a huge mess to eat. The pork was incredibly dry, and the OG sauce is straight up nasty. I did not heed the warnings of other patrons: DON'T ACCEPT THE OG SAUCE! A GYRO ISN'T THE PLACE FOR HONEY MUSTARD-LIKE TASTES. And, holy Batman the grease!? It's like it was oozing out of the wrapper...
The second visit, I had the OG chicken with tzatziki. Less messy, somewhat less dry (still dry) but still greasy... Maybe even moreso? I have absolutely no enjoyment eating these gyros, mainly because of the messiness of it all.
Service:
Very straightforward; you place order at register, you pay, you wait for food, you receive food, you leave. Your experience may change if you are dining in.
Final thoughts:
If you're desperate for a gyro or Greek-inspired meal, you can probably consider one here. Just avoid that OG Sauce. And take lots of napkins; you'll need them.
