I was a little surprised when my wife said she wanted to dine at Gyros Town. Not because she isn't a culinary adventurer necessarily, but because I didn't know she was interested in Greek food at all. Her reasoning was, " We have been pretty lucky with trying new places and foods, let's try there." Alright then.
I am really glad I married my wife. She is smarter than me and it comes in handy like when trying new restaurants such as this one. It is a rather cozy little restaurant with booths on the sides and tables in the middle. We are a booth family and these were definitely booth family approved. There is a television, a drinks cooler, and a counter to order otherwise. Very simple, very effective.
My wife and I ordered a number one which is just a basic gyro with fries and a drink. I like to try the basic stuff at restaurants I am not familiar with so that I can get an idea of how they cook what should be their simple recipes. What we received was a very tasty gyro. The meat might have been a little salty but I really don't have a basis for comparison in this food genre. There was also a tasty sauce inside the pita bread that complimented the meat. If I knew the name of it I would say it, so for those of you who I just offended with my lack of gyro knowledge, I apologize. The side of fries was an afterthought but I don't want to short change them because they were pretty good. It was a good portion of food in the basket. It was just enough to top me off.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I received the impression that each customer was special to them. That each person in the restaurant was an opportunity. That sounds horribly cliche but I really mean it. The young lady who took the orders walked around and cleaned the tables as the patrons left and politely asked others if they were enjoying their meals. A little later another gentleman who I identified as one of the chefs came out to see how the food tasted. I responded with an honest,"I am really enjoying it". It feels like a start up even though it has been around a little while. I will be going back to support the fact I am thankful there are little shops like this that remind me that I need to try new things.
