| - Since I'm a newer Madison resident, I'm not sure how much better this State Street gyro spot was in the good old days. However, I've become quite hooked. This is a late night gyro joint and not fine Mediterranean dining.
The regular gyro is okay (and the Hercules plate is quite the haul), but what I always get now is the Chick-n-Bob, or chicken kebab with fries. The chicken is seasoned, grilled, and served on skewers in a big warm pita with delicious, tangy tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, and onions. It's filling and lovely. And the fries are incredibly good. Crispy on the outside and softer on the inside (except for the super crunchy fries on the bottom of the basket; there are always some). Have yet to sample the baklava.
Service is friendly and down-to-earth. The interior is pretty fast food-like, but I like the rooftop garden in the warm months. There's always Greek music videos playing and there's ouzo, too.
Admittedly, paying $9.25 for a chicken kebab and fries feels a little steep. It would also be nice to have more specials/deals on food now and then.
