| - I thought all Gyros were pretty much the same until having my latest from The Simple Greek.
I used to frequent there in the days when it was My Big Fat Greek Gyro. Back then it was a pretty decent gyro. No Mike and Tony's but close, and still pretty good. I haven't been there many times since the name and ownership change, but don't think I'll be back. First of all, the service is anything but warm and friendly. But hey, it's a fast food Gyro place so I'm not expecting great service. But. at least act like you give a damn that I'm patronizing the place and not a burden to you.
On to the food....The Gyros stink. I'm no gyro connoisseur, but I know the Simple Greek's gyros are lousy. The meat is dry, tough, and flavorless. I think the new ownership is cheapening out on the quality of the meat. The Tzatziki (sp?) sauce has an odd flavor. All makes for one crappy gyro. And while the fries are fresh cut, (which is typically a really good thing), the kids working the place don't know how to cook them. They're undercooked, soggy, and under seasoned. A tough thing to ruin, but the Simple Greek has mastered ruining fires too.
I feel bad for the owners, but they really need to go back to the way things were before trying to become a national chain.
