I've driven past here 100 times meaning to stop But today was the day. the guy at the window was very friendly, I ordered my gyro and fries and waited maybe seven or eight minutes. The fries were hot crisp and delicious and my Gyro was tasty. I'm glad i didn't get to go as I think this is a meal best eaten in - Had I gotten this delivered or taken my order home the fries would not have been hot and tasty so I definitely recommend eating it while it's hot. My experience was good and I'll definitely be back. read more

We had it DoorDashed to us so I don't know about ambiance but the pizza is delicious! We had a large deluxe pizza and our son had a large pepperoni pizza. They're both delicious and we love it. read more

I had a good experience with the food and the service. Even though we had to wait, the food is consistently hot and fresh. read more

I had driven past their street sign advertising a Gyro and Fries for $9.99 for over a month and teen and I happened to be out in this are and we decided to give it a shot. I love a good gyro. It's a order at the counter type of spot. Even though a bell rings when you walk in it took several minutes before we saw anyone come to the counter. Their menu has a large variety of items from pizza, gyros, seafood, cheesesteaks and more. I must say the photos on the menu wall do not look the most appetizing, mostly because they're all faded and discolored. We both ordered the gyro special. It took a bit to get our order but it came out piping hot and that's how it should be. Fries were typical fries. Gyro was good. Not the best I've had but it had good flavor. I think it needed a little more spice to the meat and it would have helped. My biggest complaint is the meat was very greasy. I took a few napkins and blotted as much as I could off of it prior to eating. It helped a bit. I wasn't that pleased with the Tzazki sauce. I found it very bland and not tangy at all which I've come to expect. I don't think it added anything to the gyro. We saw several people come in to pick up to go orders. It looks like they do a lot of take out. Mostly appeared to be pizza so maybe we'll try that at another time. read more

Bassil's - Dining room. - Italian Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Reminiscent of NYC eateries...stopped in to get a lamb gyro and wings. Good food. Good service. If you're from NY and miss the taste (pause) and city vibes...stop in. read more

This both carry out and they have seating but it's basic. Where they shine other locations is the food. I ordered the meatball sub. Oh my goodness good. My wife order the chicken parmigiana with the salad. The quality and quantity were both. The people there were very engaging. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant! Had a lamb gyro with fries and husband had a chicken gyro with fries. Both portions were more than we could eat and were delicious. Food was hot and fresh. The location was extremely clean and service was prompt and friendly. read more

Wanna have sum good pizza pastas wings fries shrimps chicken even a big salad try this spot even good customer service

This little spot is awesome. I promise you if you visit this spot, don't want to share his name cause I don't know if he approves of it. After about 3 times he remembers you and your order. The fact that he opens it in front of you and ask you if it looks good. Then he says if it's not up to your pair call or bring it back. The gyro with tekkie sauce on the and ranch plus hot sauce. read more

Took 40 minutes for 1 pizza and 1 Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Philly wasn't bad, but was nothing to write home about. Fries were cold and tasted like they'd been reheated. Pizza was a real let down. Usually these hole in the wall pizza places are a cut above the rest. This place was barely a cut above Chef Boyardee. The toppings tasted canned and for $2/topping, they sure do skimp. I hate leaving a review like this for a local business, but for the time it took and for $30, it doesn't make the cut. read more

Was not impressed. Had Gyro lunch special. $11.00 for a Gyro fries and a drink. Now the Gyro was good lots of meat. But drink choices were ice tea(sweet only) lemonade.or a can of soda. They don't have soda machine so only refills were on lemonade and ice tea. Place was clean. They have counter service. Won't go back because of price vs value just did not match up. I have had much better lunches for $11.99 read more

Really good food at a good price! They deliver so that's a plus the pizza reminds me of New York pizza

We try to order from here every one to two weeks. We've supported their business for the last few years, even during covid. And just as info for vegetarians, they already offer vegetarian options on the menu but will try to accommodate any requests. They earn 5 stars from us instead of 4 stars for the good food, affordable prices, and friendly owners and staff. read more

We have ordered from Bassil's 3 times and have not been disappointed yet. So far we have tried their antipasto salad, calzone, wings, fried shrimp and pizza. Food is always hot and fresh whether it's being picked up or delivered, and the staff is very friendly. I was hesitant at first about trying seafood as I am very picky about seafood, but we love their large fried shrimp. Nicely breaded, tender and juicy. read more

Came here twice and got serious stomach cramps while eatiNg and couldn't finish Would not recommend read more

I got Wing and Gyro platter it was good. The wings where weak on sauce as in very little sauce. Got Cajun corn it great and very good deal 4:99 . Platter don't come with fries which I like very not big fry person. read more

We found this gem on DoorDash a few months ago and just cannot stay away! Bassil's is a favorite at our house now. We have tried the chicken Alfredo, white pizza, Stromboli, wings and fries, cheesecake, chocolate cake, mozzarella sticks, fried ravioli, and garlic knots and ITS ALL SO GOOD. The chicken Alfredo is more like a white baked ziti with ziti noodles and not tossed in Alfredo, but still very good. Bassil's will continue to have our business and we are so glad we stumbled upon it. Can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

This tastes just like the salt and tomato juice this is not Italian food this is fast food Italian save your money go somewhere else

Ate lunch here yesterday. I come here everytime I am in town for the last 4 years. Great tasting food and great customer service. They remember me when I come in even after so long. I always get the gyro, haven't ventured out to anything else yet. My daughter has had their pizza and philly, she has liked all of their food as well. Great family owned business with great customer service. read more

Bassil's - Gyro with fried mushrooms - Italian Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I came here with my mother for dinner and we ordered to go, this place is pricey for the type of food. 17 dollars for a Philly, canned coke and cannoli! The Philly cheese steak was alright, it was lacking flavor. My mother ordered a philly, coke and fried mushrooms, another 17 dollars. The fried mushrooms were disgusting. They were burnt, looked like they were cooked in old nasty frying oil, They were very disgusting. read more

So I tried this place because it had good reviews and for the most part I agree. I ordered a large pepperoni pizza with an order of garlic knots. The pizza had a good flavor but was overly greasy. The garlic knots lacked much flavor and mostly just tasted like plain bread. I would give Bassils a 4 star but the lack of flavor on the garlic knots and the abundance of grease on the pizza make me keep it at 3 star. read more

I have been going to Bassil's since I was young. The food is consistently delicious! I love that it is a family operation with excellent customer service. read more

Got shrimp and wings and they were pretty good . However, I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken Parmesan. Definitely wasn't something I was use to read more

It's my second time here and I really enjoy coming to this place!!! I've had the meat lovers pizza and the steak w/ onions calzone and both were really delicious. The environment is super chill and prices are reasonable. read more

Price: Average Atmosphere: Small/ Hole in the wall feel Food Quality: Slightly better than average Service: Slower than usual Kid Friendly: Yes (unless they're impatient) This was my first visit to this restaurant. We were a slightly large party so that may have caused the service to be slower than usual. We didn't mind as we had enough of us to keep busy until the food arrived. Bassil's has an extensive menu offering things such as pizza, calzones, wings, gyros, sandwiches, chicken fingers, fried gizzards, etc. On this visit we tried the Pepperoni Pizza, Chicken Fingers, Cuban Sandwich and Gyro. The pizza was okay. Not as good as Renna's but better than the chain pizza places. The chicken fingers are thinly cut so they look like actual chicken fingers and were just okay. The Cuban sandwich was a hit. If there was any criticism, it could have used a little more mustard. The Gyro was not as flavorful as I had hoped. My favorites in Jacksonville are Karam's and Choban Grill. Bassil's unfortunately does not compare to either. The restaurant probably caters more to takeout/delivery so the restaurant is tiny. It seats around 6 tables of 4 and a few 2-tops. Overall, I wasn't overly impressed with the restaurant but I'd be willing to give it another shot to try the wings and maybe the gizzards. read more

Best gyro in town! We have been ordering pick up for several years and the gyro has never disappointed! The calzones are a great size for sharing and delicious! read more

This is a great place for above average fast food. My personal favorites are the gyro, wings, and gizzards. The food is always made to order and nothing taste freezer burnt or old. They also have a good variety of foods such as burgers, pizza, calzones, and seafood platters. If your in the mood for some deep fried deliciousness this is the place to go! read more

My husband, being from Brooklyn, is somewhat of a pizza critic (the closer it tastes like a pizza from NY, the better it is) so when his friend told him about Bassil's he had to try it. We ordered an XL cheese pizza last night & gyro (I love gyros). Upon opening the box, my first thought was "Looks delicious". So I took my gyro (with feta cheese... thought it was automatic but I was told you have to ask for it) w/ fries (eh... were too soft- I like crunchiness with my fries) and a slice. Wow... that first bite of the pizza was awesome. There was a sweetness & saltiness (who doesn't love the sweet & salty thing?) that I loved. The sauce on it was perfect. My only complaint with the pizza would be that it was too soft (yes- I like crunchiness with my pizza too). Besides that, one of the best slices I've had in Jacksonville. Now the gyro... the best gyro I've ever eaten was from some restaurant in Maryland (sorry, I wish I could give credit to the place but I can't remember it right now). I was hoping that this gyro was as good if not better. Unfortunately, I have to say it wasn't. There just wasn't enough flavor. Had it not been for the feta cheese, it would've been a bust. Hopefully next time it's better... so it's good enough to try a few times but by the 3rd time if it doesn't get better, I'll stick with a couple cheese slices. read more

Love this place. Saw a sign as I was driving by and stopped in for the 8.99 gyro, fries, and drink combo. Boy, oh boy, am I glad I did. read more

Your typical hidden gem. From their mix and match menu to their authentic northern NY feel, Bassil's is definitely a weekly take-out hot spot. Exceptional customer service and friendly vibes. read more

The cheesesteaks were absolutely delicious, the fries were amazing as was the homemade lemonade... the one thing I didn't expect was for myself and my party of 4 to become ill shortly having our lunch. Pricing was also a little high but comparable to other gourmet sandwich establishments. They also use all fresh ingredients... hope the food poisoning was an anomaly. Happy eating! read more

I turned into the wrong parking lot not too long ago and saw this place. I decided to get take out with my son. They have an interesting menu for a small restaurant from pizza, seafood, and burgers. I'm sure I'm missing some items. The food is great and I love the oysters. I've had one bad experience with scallops being raw, but I didn't let that hinder me from returning. They have delivery, but it takes about a hour so I stick to take out or dining in. read more

Love this place I always order the same thing ....they deliver to my work all the time. Over priced but good food

So today I'm giving 5 stars to both Bassil's and Shut em Down which are next door to one another. My husband got the fried chicken with collard greens and macaroni and cheese. My daughter got the same thing but got yams with macaroni and cheese. Greedy me got a small order of oxtails to taste. The small was not small :). I believe there were 4 with white rice - so good. My husband and daughter both loved their food. It was cooked well and the batter / crust was ummmmm read more

I'm in town for work and wanted some fried mushrooms n found this place on my help app. It had a lot of great reviews so ofcourse I thought I'd give it a try especially since it was close to where I was staying. Wrong idea. I orders a gyro with a side of fried mushrooms. My gyro was ok nothing special but it wasn't bad but my mushrooms on the other hand were over fried n the mushrooms inside were almost non existent...true I could have went to zaxbys n got flat button mushrooms but I wanted something with a burst of flavor but instead I got crunchy dough basically I could've just went to zaxbys read more

Yum! Best shrimp ever! They also have pizza, wings, Italian food, sandwiches, it's all good! The owner is always there!

I travel all the way from St. Augustine at least once or twice a week just to eat here. This place has the best fried shrimp, gyros and the best burgers. Their pizza is pretty damn good too! read more

My and my wife go here at least once a month. I enjoy the gyro and my wife always gets the wings and shrimp combo. We have never got sick eating here. Yes the place is a little run down looking but the food tastes great. read more

Love this place! One of the best GYROS I have had in Jacksonville and Orange Park. I wish I lived closer so that I can eat their wings and gyros more often, but at least they will separate everything for me so that it isn't soggy by the time I get home... 15 minutes drive is worth it! read more
