This place was one of the best surprises of our entire vacation. We were not expecting to find such authentic, European-style gyros here in Orange Beach, but this spot absolutely delivered. It's honestly the closest thing we've had in the United States to what you get in Europe. The food quality is outstanding across the board. The flavors are fresh, well-balanced, and you can tell care goes into everything they make. The hand-cut fries are excellent and really set it apart from typical quick-service places. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable--one of the most affordable meals we've had during our stay in Orange Beach, especially considering the quality. The owner was friendly, positive, and easy to talk to, which made the experience even better. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The drive-through option is a huge bonus--super convenient to grab your food and head back to the hotel or campground. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, great value, and a genuinely enjoyable experience. read more

Convenient if you going N on 59. Quick turn in and tight drive thru. Owner works the store so expect consistency in the food. Fries are the longer fries that keep their heat. A bit soft but flavorful. Gyro was stuffed full.. Meat is not thinly sliced so it takes a bit of chewing. Sauce is plentiful and lettuce, tomato,onion are fresh. We will be back. read more

This was outstanding! I love Greek and never get it enough, and the Gyros here were super good. Meat was tender, and seasoning on the fries was perfect. In a place where I know you're supposed to get seafood (and I do), this is a 5 plus star place to go in Gulf Shores. read more

Outstanding Greek cuisine in a place you may not expect. Tucked into a small unglamorous location on HWY 59 heading south toward Gulf Shores Beaches, Efe's traditional greek menu will not disappoint. Location is small and geared toward drive-through or take-out. Food is great and service is great. We've had lunch there the past 2 days. Gyro meat is great on whatever platter you choose. Prices are reasonable. read more

I live down the street and I can say that this is the best food option on 59. Eat here instead of the fast food options around it, it's way faster way better and way healthier. Trust me, I've eaten at all of them. Food is always fast and hot. The guy working is always polite. read more

There was something extremely off about the Greek salad. Upon opening the container, it smelled mildewy. Unfortunately, this was after I got it home. The whole thing was tossed as I didn't want to risk getting sick. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened, I love gyros and falafel, I got a chance to go through the drive thru and take some home, don't judge the pics based on if it's good or not, it spent 20 mins in a to go container. I had the falafel wrap with fries and both were so good! I don't get a chance to have falafel often and I'm excited this place is an option. This is locally owned and I love that. They have a patio to eat and small inside area. I will be back to support the local owners and I'll try the gyros next! read more

The gyros were amazing! The best part of these was it was all lamb and not another meet with lamb. To often other places water the lamb down with other meats or just give you a lot of lettuce and just a little bit of meat. This was not the case. This was perfectly balanced. Plus the customer service was great. read more

I am surprised by the high ratings! I was quite disappointed in the food and service. We got a take out and ordered falafel wrap and the Greek salad. The cashier was friendly and we got the food quickly. We were planning a picnic on the beach, however, we realized there was no silverware provided. The salad was sooo disappointing! Shredded iceberg, not romain, a few black olives, not kalamata, a few very thin shreds of onion, 2 quartered tomatoes and 4 slices of cucumber. The chicken was cut in 2 chunks, not sliced or diced (not sure how we would eat this without silverware!) and was super dry. Fries were unevenly fried, lacked salt. Falafel in the wrap was dense and did not have much flavor. Wish they have more options for flavorful sauces and sides. read more

Nice little spot for Gyros, food was delicious and service was prompt and courteous. No indoor seating, only outdoor or to go ordering.

Phenomenal! Everything is fresh and delicious! We spent the summer in the Perdido key area and loved eating here!

I love that I could get a gyro in a beach town! The gyro was packed full!! Lots of meat and toppings that tasted so good. Service was fast and friendly. Yeah you're limited in seating options, but I enjoyed sitting outside at one of the two tables. But what made this place the best...the FRIES!! Don't know what it is...the oil? The potatoes? The salt? Still don't know, but these are hands down, the best fries I've had in a very, very long time. No ketchup needed, no vinegar required. Just damn good fries! read more

Where do I begin! I honestly was a bit skeptical given Greek at the beach??? But I did a gyro plate with hummus and WOW! SO good! The service was beyond friendly and helpful. It's an easy drive thru - no inside seating but we rode over ti the library (after hours) and had a nice quiet table to sit and enjoy. I wish I wouldn't have been starving so I would have taken pictures. read more

Fantastic food, big portions , fast service! We eat there at least 2x per month, can't wait to go back again!

A gracious 3 stars because the food was actually ok but underwhelming. The gyros was fresh, well portioned and fries were excellent. Think Five Guys!Not a good thing when your fries are better than your gyro. Would not consider this a "Greek kitchen" either but a sandwich shop because the menu is elementary at best. Can't get a side of falafel, or dolmas?!? The tzatziki was bland and basic. Have had better from Publix in a jar. Huge disappointment because I LOVE tzatziki!!! Cheese fries?!? Guys, this is a side of cheese not cheese fries but the over portioned fries makes up for the price, but you can do better. Cut the fries in half and overload the cheese. Love to support local either way. Service was fast and great. read more

Best Gyros in town! Great fries and awesome shakes! Don't miss going here if you love Greek food.

Terrible again. Gave em a second chance. Still bad. They need to change things. Service is not good

Hands down the best Greek food in tow, the staff was very friendly and worked quick. we did not have a long wait time at all, and the food was freshly prepared. my kids loved the fresh fries. We as a family can only recommend this place and we will def be back. read more

Excellent spot for gyro's! We got the mixed meat and it was stuffed full! Hand cut potato fries were also delicious! Highly recommend Efe's!

Absolutely the best fries ever made! Food is delicious. Lived her my whole life and this is one of my favorite places

Fresh , Delicious and satisfying! We will definitely eat there again! Hands down beats any greasy fast food spot around town. A healthy option for health conscious person. read more

Food is excellent especially the gyro meat! Highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent servicel!

Don't understand how this place has so many good reviews. I ordered the Chicken pita and the chicken was horrible. Not a single piece of white meat and the little bit of chicken that was there was not worth eating. The fries were limp and tasted like they were thrown back in the fryer to reheat them. The only good thing was the pita, which was soft and fresh. read more

Food and service are great! We ate outside at a picnic table and enjoyed our gyros very much!

No words to describe how bad it was. Fries were old. I got the Gyro plate and it was terrible. The meat was cold and bad. Never again read more

Maybe we caught this place on a bad night, but I'm really struggling to see why the reviews are so high. I was initially so happy to see another option aside from the standard Gulf Fare of every other restaurant and also happy to see that the reviews for this place were so high. That's about the peak of my expectations and things kinda go down hill from here. We ordered on a Tuesday night and got the philly, lamb/beef gyro, burgers, and two orders of chicken tenders. As I mentioned in previous reviews, it seems that the way many restaurants in the Gulf Shores "fill up" their plates is with tons of fries. Efe's Greek Kitche is no difference. We got an overabundance of fries with each entree- much more than we could ever dream to finish. For being a Greek restaurant, you assume that the gyro would be the star of the show. Sadly, for me, it was probably one of the least flavorful gyros I've ever had. The meat was dry and hard, needed more dressing, and overall didn't feel like a good value. The burger (you could tell) was probably a frozen patty warmed up along with the chicken tenders and fries. I felt like we overpaid for a meal full of frozen food that was quickly fried and served up. This was one meal that we all were disappointed in paying, enjoying, and eventually throwing away. I really hope we caught Efe's on an off night but based off of our experience, could not recommend them. read more

We stopped by during our fall break for the first time. It was not a busy time, and we were the only ones dining at the time at one of the picnic tables outside. We walked up to the window to order and received our food through the window. We returned to the window to get napkins and then utensils. We had a gyro dinner and a Philly steak dinner, both of which came with an ample amount of hot fries, which was great. Gyro dinner was not particularly memorable but Philly was pretty awesome, according to my husband. Cups for our drinks were very flimsy, and we ended up spilling some and having to go back to the window to get more napkins. Not sure if people actually dine there, or the tables there are just for people waiting to pick up their order. I think this would be a great option for a takeout lunch or dinner. Not particularly an interactive or memorable dining experience. To be fair, the male who took our order was very nice. read more

Food was good, but they charged me $26 for an $11 gyro combo with a drink. I did not get a receipt and he didn't say the total when he swiped my card. Super confused on what I paid for. But, the food was good so I'll give it 4 stars and guess I tipped well. ‍ read more

Great customer service. Incredible fries. Fresh food for a solid price. Great chicken pita. Definitely will go back for Greek food whenever I visit Gulf Shores. read more

$15 gyro meal for $11! A real bargain. Really good gyro sandwich with a bunch of meat. Great flavor and good fries. I usually only write bad reviews but had to give this guy some respect. Efe is el hefe of gyros and my new ese! - a guy from Del Rio, Texas read more

We tried this place out because the reviews looked promising. This place gets two stars for the friendly servers and the tolerable French fries. We ordered the following: falafel gyro, regular gyro, and hummus. Most of the food items were way too salty with the hummus being the worst and 100% inedible. The gyro meat was quite greasy. The tzatziki left much to be desired. We love Greek food and this fell short for us. We will be skipping this one on our next visit to the area. read more

We stopped here on our way into town to grab lunch instead of the usu burger and chicken places. it is a small drive up restaurant with no inside seating, but there are several picnic tables on the property if you want to stay and eat there. It looked liked most folks ordered to go. We got the gyro platters which came with fries. The food was fresh, plentiful and served quickly. The meat was tender and had a great taste. The fries were cooked just right and seasoned well and there were plenty of them. We were full and satisfied. Would definitely recommend this place for a good meal. read more
