Finally made my way over to Gyro Express for the first time today. I am very impressed with their quick service. Upon arrival the line was outside the door during the lunch rush and the wait was about 10 minutes. The food is prepared right in front of you, which I appreciate. The ambiance was busy but not over crowded. As for the taste of the food, very fresh meat and veggies! This is the first ever falafel I have tried that I actually liked. Would def recommend! read more

This place is delicious! We got the gyro fries, doner kebab, and a build your own bowl. My personal favorite was the gyro fries, but everything was amazing. Their garlic sauce is so good on everything! We went during the lunch hour and service was super fast and everyone was friendly and polite. The place also seems clean and fresh. read more

This was the closest place to my hotel and since it was FREEZING out, I decided to give it a try. I went in and ordered a chicken pita. Love the fresh ingredients. Love that the pita was WAY bigger than I thought it would be and love how super nice the workers are. The pita came with chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce. It was good but next time I would ask for extra sauce cause the pita was a bit dry after you eat what was on top. Was still delicious tho!! And big enough that I had leftovers for the next day. Would 100% go back and try other items. Not bad on price either. read more

Gyro Express - Chicken Gyro Express Pita - Mediterranean Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I ordered around lunchtime or delivery because I, Only worked a few blocks away. I asked for them to let me know when they were here, but they didn't call me. I kind of waited to see where they were and it appears the delivery driver already dropped it off. Now I know this is probably no fault to this business, but just something to keep mindful of if you are going to have it delivered. The dry was a decent size and when I got it, it was still kinda hot. Would go back. read more

If ever you're in the St. Louis area, and you want some Mediterranean food that doesn't make you feel guilty, then come check this place out, lol. I made my own bowl here and had it over salad (I'm trying to diet). It was pretty good. The chicken is seasoned with love, I can't tell because it was packed with flavor. They also had a decent variety of toppings you can add to your bowl. The service here was quick. I'm pretty sure I was in and out in under 5 minutes. My bowl came out to under $15. The only reason I didn't give this place another start was because the interior didn't give an authentic Mediterranean vibe. It just felt like a place that has Mediterranean food. Other than that I would get their food again. read more

Basic menu, food is always good. Friendly. Clean. The review requires 85 characters, so I'm writing this sentence.

I just happened to be near this restaurant while on my way back to my hotel, and decided to give it a try. I will say the staff was very friendly and the establishment was immaculate in terms of cleanliness. I just got the gyro combo and it was delicious. It tasted very fresh and had some great flavor to it! Even the fries tasted fresh! It was really good and I was definitely impressed. Highly recommend if you're in need of a good gyro! read more

I've been here once before and I actually liked the gyro fries. So I'm disappointed to have to write this review. About 8 months later I return on lunch to get them again... Where you stand to order, you can see the the fryer. I see a man grab a handful of fries with his bare hand and place it in my container. He then proceeds to rub his hands on his shirt. I immediately got turned off and realized I mentally couldn't eat the now unsanitary fries. I was still willing to eat there thinking it was just a lapse of judgement in that moment. I asked the worker "is there anyway I could get new fries, the guy in the back grabbed them with his bare hands." He replies "well that's all he's doing though." I assume he means he's only touching/cooking fries (although I saw he's also grabbing the fryer handles, and opening freezer doors)... I am silent and in shock, he continues as I don't say anything in response, "I'll get you a new one though. My dad washes his hands all the time, but I'll get you another one." His tone was sharp as if I was wrong for even asking. Odd that he didn't just apologize or even just say "sure." I just asked for new fries and he got defensive because it's his father that's not using gloves. I told them never mind and walked out. I realized if a restaurant is willing to defend unsanitary actions to a customers face, I can't imagine what happens behind closed doors. read more

Excellence family owned and operated restaurant. Stump upon it in town for volleyball and hit the jackpot. Everything is home made and fresh. The gryo was super tender. The hummus and falafel were also great. Finished off with homemade baklava. Highly recommend. read more

Gyro Express is a great option for lunch if you are in downtown St. Louis. I ordered the Zemech Bowl with grilled chicken and tahini sauce. It is a nice light and healthy option. All the ingredients are very fresh with ripe vegetables and rice that is served warm. The tahini sauce is creamy and adds a nice flavor to the bowl. Prices are reasonable too. read more

Gyro Express - Zemech Bowl with Grilled Chicken and Tahini Sauce - Mediterranean Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

This place is a great little family owned restaurant by the Old Post Office downtown. In my learned opinion this is the best Med restaurant in the city. The lentil soup is a hidden gem! Great chicken and lamb meat. Super friendly staff and service. Highly recommend for lunch read more

The chicken did not taste fresh to me. The vegetables and sauces were very good and I loved the fallafels.

Friendly service, good salad with falafel with views of the old post office downtown.

A bit disappointed with my lunch - gyro and fries. Reading some reviews before coming here and many identified fresh homemade offerings. I don't agree. Pita bread was not made in house - just your normal pita found everywhere. Fries were nothing special- a fresh hand cut fry would elevate the lunch experience. These were certainly from a bag of frozen fries - served hot but nothing special. The gyro meat was the same thing you can get anywhere. The problem with the gyro meat here is that they cook it ahead and then keep it in a warming tray. This expedites service but does not allow for a real hot freshly sliced gyro with the texture differential that comes from slicing it to order off of a rotisserie. Tzatziki sauce was tasty but a bit overpowered with dill and lacking the subtle cucumber flavoring that is present in a real good tzatziki sauce. All in all, friendly counter service for a sub par sandwich. read more

It was delicious. I wish I had tried it sooner as it's only 1 block away. It for pick up and ready in no time.

Great customer service and even better food! I love the fact that every order is "made to order", right in front of your eyes. Authentic Greek food with a superior taste. A+++ read more

If you are in St. Louis for a convention and don't like boxed lunches like me this is a great option. It's only a short 2 block walk away, has plenty of healthy or non-healthy options including vegan options. i highly recommend ordering ahead for pick up and bypassing the line! read more

Super people! Great service- even though I stopped in RIGHT before they closed! Huge portions, everything was very fresh and so tasty. Had a fantastic salad (spring mix and spinach!) with falafel and gyro meat. So good!! Got to sit outside in beautiful weather and take a convention break. Totally will come here again when I am in St Louis! read more

Gyro Express - Gyro Express Fries Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Can't give enough stars. A gem downtown for sure. Food is great--my fav is the rice bowl combo but everything they offer is solid. Nothing flashy, very much quality over quantity. Owners/workers are always friendly and hardworking. Again nothing flashy, but rock solid food and service every time. read more

Great place to stop for lunch! We visited Arch & Park and had two locals recommend this place, checked Yelp & off we went. Hubs had Express Rice Bowl & I had Express Lettuce Bowl, both with actual Lamb Gryos meat! Lots of movable tables along with high stools lining corner windows. Basmati rice with saffron perfectly cooked (not a gooey mess) and toppings selected as going down line. My lettuce was a fresh mix (not a bunch romaine spines) with lots of cukes, Romas & purple onions. Line moves very quickly & friendly staff making meals & at register. Meals plus large fountain soda was $26. read more

Amazing family business, the food was the highlight of our day!

I visited Gyro Express while in St. Louis for the Joyce Meter Woman's convention. The food was outstanding. The service was fantastic and the staff was awesome. They were kind and considerate and very efficient. Apparently I wasn't the only one who loved this establishment because it was quite busy and I never heard one negative comment from anyone inside the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

super nice family owned business, the food was delicious and they were so helpful! I'm touring St. Louis and they offered some great tourist tips! Highly recommend the zumech bowl! Great quality chicken and amazing flavors! read more

Hands down one of the best places to get lunch in downtown. It's super high quality and fresh. I usually go with the zemech bowl with a bunch of veggies and top it off with the sriracha ranch...Think Mediterranean version of Chipotle. The place is family owned and they're always super friendly whenever you come in. You'll definitely be back if you ever come here. read more

This is one of my new favorite spots -- fresh, delicious, and quick service. Great downtown lunch spot!!

I've been to this establishment several times and have loved my food every time. The food is delicious and fresh. I will definitely keep going back! read more
