| - After months of saying "we should try that place one day" as we walk into Carefree Station, we finally gave it a try! Because it was 3:30 in the afternoon on a Thursday (when a lot of other places are closed between meals or offering only the "bar menu"), we were the only ones there. Service was great. The waiter (owner?) even turned on the tv over the bar and put on cartoons for the kids.
We had the Saganaki for starters. It was a bit too much of a "stinky cheese" kinda cheese for me (I stick to mozzerella, goat cheese, and feta). But, the cheese lovers at our table were practically licking the pan. We all shared the Feta Cheese Salad. The pita pockets that you got to stuff were a hit. I could just eat the stuff with a spoon. I had the chicken gyro. It was FULL of well seasoned chicken. With yogurt sauce dripping down my hands, I ate, shared, and ate some more. Hubby had the World Famous Gyro and said it's the most authentic flavored gyro he'd had in years (since DC).
The kids just had "kid food" when they weren't eating ours. My picky one who only eats fries and chips at restaurants (and, who often won't even eat the fries...yes, she's THAT picky) gave the fries her stamp of approval.
I didn't think it was too pricey...especially if you're just getting a gyro for lunch. In Cave Creek/Carefree where you often pay $12+ for a burger, an $8 gyro with a TON of meat isn't bad!
