    Beef & Lamb Gyro
    Menghai T.

    I got the beef and lamb gyro sandwich ($10). It was filled with meat, lettuce , tomato, white sauce, and an optional hot sauce. Both the white and hot sauce added great flavor to the gyro. Staff was nice and they made my sandwich in about 5 minutes. There wasn't much seating besides outside so I just took the gyro home. Overall a good takeout place if you are looking for a gyro that's good and priced fairly. Food(50%): 7.8 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.5 Overall: 7.5/10

    Lamb gyro (without tomatoes)
    Nicole N.

    I've heard good things about this place and finally got a chance to check it out! The lamb gyro was pretty solid. There were generous servings of well-seasoned lamb meat in my gyro and the pita bread was soft. There was a good ratio of meat to lettuce to bread, but there was a lot of tzatziki sauce. While I'm a fan of extra sauce, the amount was a little too much. I appreciated how you can customize your gyro (ie no tomatoes) and loved how the staff double checked with you for the other ingredients. It feels like a whole-in-the-wall place but there is a good amount of seating and the tables were clean. Food came out pretty quickly and they even brought the food to our table :)

    Stopped in for a sandwich for dinner. The store looks clean and the service was pleasant and polite. Woman at the order counter explained and answered all our questions. My main question was if they had a traditional gyro pita sandwich made of beef and lamb. She pointed to the menu above the counter to where it said beef gyro and explained that the beef gyro also had lamb in it. I believe that should be noted on the menus. Proceeded to ordered beef (with lamb) gyros with French fries. The food was brought to our table in an acceptable time. Everything ordered looked fresh and cooked properly. The fries were hot and crispy. The gyro was flavorful and the meat was very tender. The meat was warm/hot but since the toppings were cold the sandwich cooled down quickly. I've had a lot of gyro sandwiches in the past and this sandwich seemed more like a shawarma sandwich, I guess I would consider it a hybrid gyro/shawarma sandwich. There were cases of soda stacked in the corner of the main cafe which took away from the ambiance but this is not a fancy place. It's more of a lunch stop and I assume it gets pretty busy at lunchtime. The food was very good and I would revisit to try other items on the menu.

    AMAZING!! i went today and got the chicken tacos combo. the hot sauce was perfect if you love spice it amazing on the tacos, they were warm and filling, the fries were perfectly crispy and not too hard, the guy working at the front was very patient as i've never been and he let me take my time to find what i wanted. the restaurant was a little hole in the wall and it was very warm as it was cold outside. i would go back again!

    Philadelphia Ice

    There's a couple gyro restaurants on this street but this continues to be our favorite! Less busy than the one a block away, the chicken or falafel gyros are my absolute favorite in the area. They are jam-packed with meat (or falafel), great tzatziki but the fries take it up 5 notches. We also tried the Jamaican beef patty's and a Philadelphia ice. The patty's were flavorful and while the cherry ice wasn't our favorite flavor, the consistency reminded us of the childhood ice's we used to eat (we read the mango and coconut were the best flavors). The employees are extremely kind and they have seating upstairs and outside. Highly recommend!

    Carytown Gyro Sunday 1:22pm 3/6/22 Upon arrival I noticed the small tables for outside seating. Upon walking in there was 1 large table and inside 2 small tables. Inside the restaurant was small, really small. $13.00 I ordered a gyro and asked if anything came with it. She told me everything but also added that the French fries that came with it were actually inside the gyro. That threw me off and made me wonder was something else going on abnormal with the gyro. She assured me it was a regular gyro and could give me my fries separately. Whew! lol She was really nice and I appreciate her effort. It took about 10-15 minutes for my food, which is fine. The fries were good but still can't imagine them in the gyro. The gyro, I'm not feeling. For starters, While I appreciate the generosity, there is way too much meat. There's no way I can fold and eat it. The taste was definitely different from any gyro I've ever had. I'm not sure what is going on. The Tzatziki sauce I also did not care for and I typically get extra tzatziki sauce. I'm not sure but it taste lemony and something else. This taste stayed with me the rest of the day. It may be one of those things where you just have to try it for yourself. I will not revisit, just not my cup of tea.

    Beef Gyro Pita Only

    I really enjoyed my beef gyro on pita bread! My friend also really enjoyed his beef and chicken gyro platter. The staff were very friendly. The beef was cooked well and the white sauce on it was very good! I recommend!

    I was looking for a new spot to try in Carytown so we popped into Carytown Gyros We were greeted immediately upon entering and they were very friendly answering our questions and our order was ready pretty quickly. The place is pretty small with 3 tables inside. Clean, but seemed old, a NYC vibe in there was a cooler for soft drinks, freezer and cases of soda out in the dining area. There was a stairway, not sure if there is more seating upstairs or if that's offuces/personal space. Fries were hot and crispy, though they may have from a bag/frozen Gyro was BIG and packed with meat. The meat was super tender and juicy, you can tell it's marinated for days vs hours...which is a big deal. The meat wasn't really warm though and I think it's because there was ALOT of very cold Taziki sauce. I am a sauce person and a dipper, there was too much sauce and it was pretty plain, which meant it diluted any flavor in the meat. There was also very minimal tomato, onion and lettuce. To some that might be a plus, as there was clearly more meat packed in the pita but I was hoping for more than one small bite of a chopped tomato. Pita was soft and fresh I try to be consistent in ratings and fair because most rating are subjective, so I struggled between a 3 and 4 here and decided on the 4. Service was good, portions were a good value, food was fresh and I will give them another try. Usually with a 3, I probably won't ever go back. Service .5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality Presentation .5 Atmosphere/vibe Value

    Cheese Fries Large

    Carytown Gyro had one of the best platters I've had. The cheese fries were also great with the addition of seasonings. Additionally, the staff were very friendly and very attentive. I will definitely be coming back soon to try out their 40+ chicken wing flavors.

    Beef gyro platter

    The restaurant is clean and the service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the beef gyro platter, and there was nothing resembling a gyro on my plate. The food was perfectly edible, but if it had been clear what I was ordering, I would not have ordered it.

    This is a super cute place at the end of Cary Stret just off 195. My husband introduced me to the food here and I'm hooked! The portions are massive and full of flavor! I get a mixed gyro and usually end up eating half and saving half for later. The meats are expertly seasoned and cooked and the garlic sauce is the best thing I've tasted in a long time. Hopefully if the get busy enough they'll offer delivery! Soooooo good!

    Chicken and falafel platter is pretty tasty
    Mrs. Tk L.

    It's my first time coming here as this restaurant. I enjoyed my meal. Very similar to a halal platter. I don't think they have the red pepper paste. But the meal was satisfying.

Luckily Lee is open until 9 PM, and I have been meaning to try this place on the recommendation of many friends. When we got there, the drive-through line wrapped around the parking lot, when we walked in, the one inside was equally long. They were so busy that they had to pause orders for a little bit, but the major hold up was with the wings. The way the counter was incredibly nice and helpful. When we told her it was our first time, we ended up deciding to get the chicken tenders and the eight piece family meal. Because we opted to not get the wings since we were hungry, our food came out very quickly. They were kind enough to also include an extra piece in both! The size of the pieces were also very generous, and between the three of us, we had plenty of leftovers. The chicken itself was crispy and delicious, and I loved the wide variety of sauce options that they had. the potato wedges were also great, though I found the mac & cheese and green beans a little bit forgettable. The cashier had told us that the apples were one of her favorite signs, and they were definitely delicious! I would love to come back and try the wings, though I'll know in the future to not order quite as much!

Without it, this just isn't the same place. I won't be back unless the spicy chicken makes a return.

We walked in to find the staff bustling, cooking, and prepping orders, and the smell of some delicious fried chicken in the air. I saw the kiosks and was not too thrilled with the Wawa experience, but we gave it a shot anyway, since fried chicken is one of our favorites. The process was simple and allowed us to add or remove anything we could want, so that was nice. While walking to find a seat, we saw a person panhandling in the dining area, but the staff promptly removed him from the premises. I ordered us the Pimento Cheese Balls for an appetizer, and I chose the Fried Chicken and French Toast as my entree because I always try the "chicken and waffles" at every establishment that offers it. My partner ordered the OG Chicken Sandwich without tomato, and it came with crinkle-cut fries. It was about $40. The chef proclaimed our order was ready in quick succession, maybe three orders behind the guests before us. We waited about ten minutes, maybe fifteen at most. We picked up the orders from the counter, and there was a mix-up on the syrup, but the chef promptly rectified the situation. He was a no-nonsense kind of guy; straight to the point. He seemed firm, yet kind. It was clear the day had been a busy one; he even told us as much, which was great to hear (busy = fantastic food). The French toast squares looked like rye or pumpernickel, and they emitted a sweet aroma, a delightful hit of cinnamon and brown sugar. I drizzled the caramel syrup on my chicken and toast, sliced a piece, and paired a bite of chicken with the toast. I closed my eyes to savor the flavors: the toast was crunchy and almost gooey (yet, not overly so), the chicken was crunchy, the sweet cinnamon-y flavors from the toast, the caramel from the syrup, and the tender, moist chicken were a match made in culinary art. I cannot sufficiently describe the French toast in a way that would do it justice; it was crunchy and semi-gooey, and all scrumptious. I can only say it was the single best French toast that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Next, I tried the fried pimento cheese balls. Oh my. If you like mozzarella sticks, try these. I adored them: elevated fried cheese, for real. My partner enjoyed her sandwich as well; she ate everything except some of her fries. I saved half of my chicken and toast for today because I am like a treasure golem when it comes to delicious leftovers. I am going to air-fry the chicken and skillet-heat the toast back to its original goodness. I told the cooks that that was the best French toast that I have ever had, and I mean it. Do yourself a favor and try it if you're into French toast. This one is the GOAT. Side note: I spoke with the head chef outside, and he is from another branch (possibly Henrico?) to whip this location back into shape. Two words: "Nailed it."
