Pretty below average gyros and even the fries are not great. Nils is just down the street and is double the price but the meat there actually has flavor and juices. What I get here is super dry and flavorless. Service is fine. Never had a problem. Usually get my food to go since it's just a small restaurant with a plain basic interior. Everything is served in styrofoam boxes. $13 is cheap for a gyro and fries but man, my last spot was $9 and it was sooo good.

The service was impeccable and the timing was magic even if the place was packed. The number system was flawless and each person knew exactly what their role was in the experience. The three pieces of perfectly breaded fish had that crunchy beer batter like coating (not certain there was any beer involved) over an almost creamy moist meat.

It's…read morelocally owned and operated, the kid who owns it looks to be about 12 but he can make killer subs. The restaurant itself is always super clean and tidy and service is almost top notch. They are very friendly and work hard to get your order exactly right. My favorite sub is I think #14 the Jersey Devil. It has soooo much meat. The first one I took home I weight it and it was 3lbs. If you go to Subway you are lucky if your sub is half a pound and pretty much costs the same. There is a photo of one on the scale topping out at 2lbs10oz. The subs are so big I always have them quarter them for me and they pretty much make four meals. The most epic thing I did once was order one for a motorcycle trip then I rode straight to the top of Mt. Mitchell where I enjoyed one of these subs. My only beef I have with them...they have a loyalty program. I always get the Jersey Devil which is one of the most expensive subs at $17 (was $13 when they first opened). This is not a problem because it's so much food. So I was in there and went to redeem my free sub and I had my kids and they usually get a small ham sub or a turkey sub which is about $8. I checked out and went on my way but didn't notice until I got home that they redeemed my free sub for $8 instead of the big one!!! Of all the places Ive ever been with loyalty programs they always give you the most expensive one for free....I guess here you have to make a separate order to do that. Felt like my loyalty got taken advantage of. Lesson learned.

When I arrived to pick it up I was told that they were out of chili and mac and cheese. The workers told me I would have to call the manager to get a refund. I then found out that they hadn't even started making the salad. When they started the salad they told me they were out of the grilled chicken but could substitute turkey, which is approved. I got home and discovered that the salad was just meat and lettuce. They hadn't included the olives, green peppers, etc that should have been on it. The salad is typically in one large bowl, but they sent me out with two small bowls. All in all this was a terrible experience. If you intend to order from this location, I advise you to order in store and make sure that everything is as expected before leaving.

Others thought their subs were ok too...no one was singing praises, but it filled an empty spot. I would not order from here again due to the lack of fillings.

I also added a Little Cajun Fries, and they were the perfect side. Fresh-cut, generously seasoned with their signature Cajun spice, and as always, there were plenty of extra fries in the bag. Between the fries and the peanuts, you definitely won't leave hungry. The cheeseburgers were exactly what I remembered: fresh, juicy, and loaded with all the toppings I wanted. I went with mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, and jalapeños, and every bite was absolutely delicious. The burgers were cooked perfectly, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the soft toasted bun held everything together. Five Guys has always been one of those places that consistently satisfies a burger craving, and this visit reminded me why. Great food, generous portions, quick pickup, and an awesome Uber Eats deal made it even better. If it's been a while since your last Five Guys burger, consider this your sign to treat yourself.

I'm chose the -10% tip option as it would be probably a little over $4 which is fair for really doing nothing service related. Well 10% tip Option equated to $7.15ish tip when I looked at my receipt. I mentioned it to the guy calling order #s and he couldn't bother to give me an answer. Wasn't going to pursue any more because it was only taking an extra $3ish but was quite disappointed and annoyed. Like I was giving you a $4ish tip for basically nothing. The whole experience/interaction left an awful taste in my mouth. Enough where I probably wont be back.
