I like to think of Yelp as an old friend when I am on the road and looking for a good place to eat. Unfortunately even your best friends can let you down sometimes. That is how I feel walking out of Zets.
I was staying near the airport and looking for a quick place to grab lunch. Seeing a solid 4 stars and over 100 reviews for a place only 5 minutes away put me on a mission. Thanks to previous reviewers - I knew I had to pick up some cash, which I did.
I got there and the line was longer than it needed to be and a tad unorganized. The decor looked like a bingo hall and the menu was barely recognizable - with the menu for the all day breakfast so far away that it might as well not have been there at all.
The counter person was unable or unwilling to answer questions and did not even look at his customers as they ordered.
However - all of that is acceptable if the food is solid. Unfortunately, we had no such luck. In a Greek diner I am gonna order the gyro 9 outta 10 times. Only after I ordered did I realize there was not a meat cone in sight - uh oh! As my tray slid down the order line - I looked in horror as uniformly sliced pieces of meat sat grilling on a flat top like your average Philly steak meat. The meat slices looked consistent enough to make me think that they may order the gyro meat pre-frozen, but that thought is so painful that I can't even confront it.
I got to my table with my gyro and found mealy tomato chunks and wilted lettuce to go with my overdone meat. The pita was fresh and nicely warmed, but the z sauce was just average.
To top it off - the tables on either side of us were not cleared the entire time we sat there.
The area around the airport is a food desert so I suppose you may find yourself giving Zets a shot - you may even find me in there again, but it won't be because I am going out of my way to get there.
