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.

The waiter was from Las Vegas, and was very kind and extremely professional. This location has very good signage and parking for customers to find them with ease. The burrito was the best burrito I have had in years! Definitely, not knocked off of the list for the overcharges but that was the only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth.

The girl called me over quickly and had chocolate custard. I was almost finished with my meal ,after a long wait for it ,when the girl brought me almost totally melted custard with fudge topping instead of syrup. I stirred it up and drank it with a straw!

I want to drive back down there just thinking about it and I live 45 minutes away. I also had a cannoli and it was exceptional as well. I'm a cannoli junky and this one did not disappoint.

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.
