Alpha Gyro Grill is a solid spot for fresh, flavorful Greek food in Gainesville. The gyro platter was generous, with tender meat and plenty of tzatziki, and the pita was warm and fluffy. I also tried the Greek salad, which was crisp and nicely dressed. Service was friendly and reasonably quick even though they were busy at lunch. The inside is casual and clean--nothing fancy, but comfortable. Prices are fair for the portions you get. I would have loved just a bit more seasoning on the fries, but overall the meal hit the spot. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving a good gyro or Mediterranean fare in the area. read more

I know this has been here for years now. First visit. I don't eat out much in this area but I'm excited! Stopped in on a Saturday around 6 and ordered food to go. Place didn't have many patrons when I came in. Customer service was really good! The guy at the counter noticed what I ordered and let me know about some vegan options. Even down to telling me about one option that included honey I case I didn't eat it. I love the attention to detail. Got a good variety of food. Veggie wrap - with the eggplant dip. They were out of hummus which was fine with me. I kept going back and forth between the veggie and falafel wrap. Landed on the veggie wrap. Glad I did, I really enjoyed this!! The portion size is pretty big. All the flavors mixed together well and it was delicious. Will definitely be ordering again Falafel- ordered a side because I wanted to see how they tasted. I can say that these were my least favorite. I'm not sure if they were overcooked but that lacked in overall flavor. Grapeleaves - Loved these. I only ordered two but found myself wanting more. Fries - because why not? Lol They were surprisingly really tasty! Honestly wasn't expecting them to be that good but they were. read more

The chicken wrap was really good. Large pieces of chicken. A meal in itself. I got the Greek potatoes as my side they were fresh and tasty. The hummus was simple not overly seasoned. Fries were battered and very good. The pita warps do not come with a side so you do end up paying more for sides and add ons. (I paid extra price for sides and feta. Was a bit pricey. ) The wrap was the best and fills you up so next time I won't get all the extras. You order at the counter they give you a number and bring the food to you. Our server was very nice and helpful. Very friendly place. Seating area was big and very clean. read more

Amazing food, service, and overall experience at Alpha Gyro. The owner goes out of his way to take care every time.

The best Greek food in Gainesville!!! No others compare ! The staff is always so nice and friendly!

I have eaten Gyros regularly for 50 years in Usa, and Europe. This is the best Gyro I've ever had. As good as I've had in Greece. The home made Navy been soup is great and the lemon chicken soup is amazing. If you're in Gainesville Ga. I hope you stop in here. You won't regret it. read more

Who would've thought that one of the best falafel's in the continental US would be located in Gainesville, Georgia? I saw the rave reviews, so we had to try it. This place did not disappoint. For Gainesville, they seemed a tad bit on the expensive side, but the food was delicious, fresh, and filling. Their lemon potatoes were super soft with a ton of bold flavor. The falafel itself was extremely moist and well seasoned. It was fried perfectly, and was accompanied by a variety of fresh ingredients, all wrapped up into a warm pita. This is a definite must come if you are in this area ! It easily is one of the best falafels you will find. read more

The gyro was very fresh and flavorful with perfectly toasted pita, seasoned meat, crispy lettuce and tangy tzatziki. I wanted to finish it all because it was that good! The reason I don't eat here more often is the price. This gyro cost me $15.25 with no sides or drink. I always order feta on my gyros (feta should be standard) and Alpha charges $3.25 for a couple of triangles. Extra tzatziki (no one puts enough) is $1.50. But, I will be back again. Yum! read more

Boom! Best gyro I've ever had. Too bad this review requires 85 words minimum because that's all you need to know. The fries were crisp and fresh as eff. Good salad. Did I mention the gyro? The best and huge. read more

Very fast service and good food. The Greek half salad filled my plate when I poured it out of the container. The chicken kabob was loaded with chicken. read more

Can't get enough!! This is a favorite for a quick stop every time I have to come through Gainesville. If I'm in a hurry or just craving some gyros this place is the spot. Parking lot easy and indoor seating. Many people came through for pick up or to go orders as well. The gyro and fries is the only thing I've tried.. I just want it every time it never disappoints. The size is abounding and hurts me to not eat it all sometimes lol. Walk up ordering and number to table style diner. Very friendly staff and managers that came to check on my visit last time. read more

The kindest staff in all of Gainesville. Amazing food and family friendly! We need more restaurants like Alpha Gyro Grill that don't shove alcohol right in your face, in my opinion. read more

We had heard about this place for a long time and was finally able to give it a try. We walked in and we're trying to decide what to order and who I assume is the owner, super sweet man insisted we try the lemon chicken soup. He gave us samples and OMG was it good! We ended up ordering a variety of other things but I next time I come, I'm having soup and salad. The place was very clean and very busy. Grape leaves were wonderful and the baklava as well. We will be back! read more

I was raised in New Jersey and we had Greek and Italian places that were amazing. I will put Alpha Gyro Grill up against one of the ones that I grew up with. You have to go. read more

The gyro was delicious and a big portion. Great selection. The service was great and the people were very nice. Parking can be tight, restaurant was nice. read more

A very pleasant surprise! Service and food was great. Counter service but don't let that scare you away.

I'm amazed that I hadn't reviewed Alpha before today as I've eaten there many times since moving to Gainesville six years ago. I'm a member of a men's lunch group and we hit Alpha several times a year. This time the staff was great, holding our orders and putting them into the kitchen at the same time (you order at the counter and our group arrives over 15 or 20 minutes). All of the greek dishes are amazing and authentic. The quantities are huge, and the staff is friendly. My only negative is the only drinks are bottled soft drinks from a cooler. And parking can be a challenge - that just means you have to get there early! read more

This is the best Greek food I have had since moving to Atlanta 37 years ago. (lived in MA - great Greek food there) The homemade lentil and lemon chicken soups were superb. The gyro sandwich was stock full of meat and veggies along with imported feta cheese! Rico was very helpful and as I said to my wife....we will definately be back! read more

Tried this hole in the wall Greek restaurant the food was amazing and the people were very friendly and nice. If you are eating out in the Gainesville area you should definitely check this place out. read more

Delicious! Gyro & fries always good. The owners are friendly and always check on customers to see if they are satisfied with the service and food! Thank you. read more

Having lived in Greece, it is often times difficult to find a truly authentic Greek restaurant. Christos' establishment delivers some of the best authentic Greek food I've had in many years. The quality and quantity of the food is immense. Roasted Lemon Chicken, lemon potatoes, true Greek peasant salad, gyro, and tzatziki were all excellent. I'll be back. read more

I have been meaning to come here for years. It seemed to look like a little hole in the wall kinda of place. When I walked in, it was nothing great to look at, but it was packed! So I knew there must be some thing to this place. The menu seemed a little pricey, but the food was very good. I think I might come back another time and try the moussaka. read more

Giving 3 stars bc it's expensive. The food is wholesome and really good quality but it's pricy. $5 for 1 small Greek potato. $22 for salad with chicken. You feel good after but it's not cheap. read more

While I have mixed feelings writing this review , here it is . I eat here often , Food is mostly good , just don't go right before closing time , the gyro plate , and pasta dishes are well prepared. Service can be hit or miss as well and they often get orders wrong or at least for me anyway . And it usually seems to be my fault somehow . The food dishes in my opinion are over priced for the very small portion sizes you get . 3 potato wedges as a side , a side salad the size of a cup for $7 , And if you add anything to any plate /platter be prepared to pay dearly for it , add a meatball the size of a golf ball and it's $5 each with tax , a tiny cup sized side salad $7 , etc etc etc . I often feel like I'm being nickel & dimed every time I go . And the desserts are also very small portioned for the price read more

OMG. What a find!!!! I have driven by this place forever and wanted to try it. Why? Because I love a good gyro! What I found was so much more! It was an amazing full greek restaurant! It looks so basic from the outside and is super hard to get to due to the way the roads are there at the intersection. But trust me. Figure out how to get here and go now! So, I got my gyro. It was huge and super yummy with fresh ingredients. And the case was full of amazing desserts and stuff. And they had Pasticio. Huge pieces. So I got some. OMG! The best I have ever had. So dang good. Service was great. Food was amazing. I can't wait to come back! read more

The food was not as great as I had hoped. And it was expensive. Parking is tricky and it is difficult to get in and out of lot.

Keeping it local. Did I say Greek? Maybe you didn't hear me, GREEK GYRO! Oh My! You don't mess with Greek! Expectations were high when I planed to visit Saturday for lunch. Why? Because M-F people are standing out the door for this place. Took my chances and it did not disappoint. Gyro platter, you heard me, Killer GYRO PLATTER. Tender Greek potatoes, crisp fresh salad, tasty gyro meat and pita bread - tell me it is for real! This platter was so amazing! Totally gets a YUMMY in my book! read more

Alpha Gyro Grill - Gyro Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Real Greek food is hard to come by in Georgia period. Coming from New York I think I can tell a good gyro from a bad one, and I must say the gyros here are legit. I ordered the steak and chicken gyro. The pita bread was nice with a little crunch, not soft and soggy. The steak was not over cooked and chewy, the chicken gyro was perfectly seasoned, and the tzatziki sauce was on point. All though I'm used to having gyros completely stuffed with meat goodness, I do feel like there could be a little more meat inside. But all and all they gyros are superb and I will go back. Get the chicken gyro if you dont know what to try or just dont eat lamb. read more

Alpha Gyro Grill is pretty much the best restaurant in Hall County. I've had just about everything on the menu - more than once - and everything is excellent and prepared authentically and with care. Customers are treated like family, and the atmosphere isn't elegant - but as cozy as a corner malt shop used to be. read more

As with the rest of the 5 star reviews, food was delicious and service was great. I've already ordered twice and eaten in once. Do not order via Grubhub as they charge much higher prices. Just call and place your order directly with the restaurant. read more

Amazing Greek food. Family owned and operated. I've only been here once passing through Gainesville, but I'll be sure to stop in next time I'm in town. read more

Way better than that other Greek place. Amazingly fresh. Amazingly authentic and tasty.

You won't find a place with fresher ingredients anywhere! The gyro meat is unbelievable, and this is authentic Greek through and through. The owner always speaks and welcomes you, and they have lots of choices and delicious desserts! We love to eat here and also get takeout. The portions are huge, and we always get an extra meal from leftovers! read more
