Pretty plain from the outside and directly across from the foundry so it's a bit of a chore to get here heading south. Super clean if a bit spartan inside. Service was quick and no drama. Looks like everything is made fresh to order so the food was all good and hot. Gyro was very nicely done, they even give the rotisserie enough time to brown the meat a bit. read more

Gyro House - Menu and counter - Greek Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

I had a taste for Gyro I stopped and got the large size with two baklava's . The taste and flavor is exactly what I was craving.

I'm sorry to say I won't be going there anymore.The prices have gone up!!. The pita is smaller, the meat is cut smaller. To try to make it look the same. I've gone here for decades. It's very disappointing. read more

Good food, friendly service if not very extensive, but the price is what kills them. A Gyro, fries, and a tapwater - yes, they charged me for tapwater - came out to $17. It's just too much for what it is. read more

The food was delicious. The service was good and the ambiance was ok. We took ours to go and ate in the car. I will definitely be back to try it again and eat in next time. read more

Gyro and catfish sandwich were really good. I'd say this place is an Elyria staple. Also they have great prices.

This place was okay. Nothing wrong at all. Food was average ... wasn't bad by any means but also was just average. Nothing to write home about. Prices were reasonable. Staff was nice and helpful. Place was clean. I got the chili cheese dog. It was ok. Just a standard chili cheese dog. I got the potato skins - the potatoes were great, but the cheese was nacho cheese and not very good and the bacon wasnt either. Very average. The gyro - it was fine. A lot of meat. Sauce was great. Pita was okay. Very average gyro. Broccoli soup - not my cup of tea. It was too watery for me. But it was not bad. Baklava - it was good. My favorite part of the meal. It was good but also wasn't as authentic as I've had before. I'm conclusion - the food wasn't bad. But it also wasn't great. Reasonable prices and clean restaurant. I'd go again - and would recommend it to someone who's in a rush and wants food fast for decent prices. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants authentic and delicious Greek cuisine. read more

Delicious gyros and very reasonably priced. The people up front are friendly and everything seams to be clean. Try to order ahead during the lunch hour because they seem to get pretty busy during the lunch hour. read more

Great food!! Stopped in for a quick bite between softball games with my daughter. Really good Gyro!

This place might look a little divey from the outside, and inside, but the food is great!!! The customer service was a little lacking the first time I came in. I stayed to the side, out of sight and looked over the menu. When I was ready, I approached the counter and waited well over a minute to be acknowledged. I saw that the female worker was busy putting together a to-go order, but even a "Hello" or an "I'll be with you in just a moment" would have made me feel like an appreciated customer. Both times I've been there, the food was piping hot and tasted great!! The fries are perfectly crisp. The chicken gyro is stuffed with hot, grilled chicken and smothered with their yummy tzatziki sauce. When I took my boyfriend there, he said, "I can't believe we haven't come here sooner!!!" He loved it, too!! Good prices, great food. Bummed that they are closed on Sundays though. $5 minimum on credit cards. If you are coming from downtown and take the road that turns into a one way at the bridge, make sure you turn left into the parking lot on the left before you reach the stop sign. The street at the sign is one way and you're not supposed to turn left- therefore can't go towards the Gyro House!!! read more

Perfect! The original gyro is of course, delicious , but you can't go wrong with anything in the menu. Friendly service & amazing food.

...........Large Shrimp.....6/7....HUGE. Never thought about NOT FINISHING a shrimp dish 'till now......AND BAKLAVA 4 DESERT????? Nobodies gonna beat this!!!!! read more

The gyro tasted like a gyro should. It was a good size. But everything comes a la carte which I don't like.

As good as it gets in my mind for gyros. Phenomenal! Real gyro meat carved off a rotisserie the way it should be!

Great food. I have been getting our Gyros from here for years. They're fries are also very tasty and bountiful. The soup included with each dinner order is a great way to start a meal. read more

I rarely get close to the Gyro House these days so I hadn't been here for a long time. It is an old favorite, though. I finally made it back again. As always the selection was broad, with a selection of typical diner fare (burgers, fries, etc) along with cool Greek offerings. Of course I had the signature Gyro platter. It's STILL the best Gyro anywhere in the area. I topped it off with a piece of awesome baclava, with all of its nutty gooey goodness. The 2 young ladies behind the counter were attentive, friendly and helpful. As far as the decor or atmosphere, that's not why I was there. It doesn't even aspire to be "fancy". It was clean, bright with background music suitable for the business. What else is there to say? A variety of good, well prepared food, great prices, friendly staff, and a clean place to enjoy it. Exactly what a small, local restaurant should be. read more

Okay I was in the mood for a gyro...i literally typed "gyro" in my GPS and this place popped up. I have never been here before and the place is kinda a hidden hole in the wall. It really doesn't look like much from the outside and inside needs an update, but its clean. I ordered a regular gyro and large fries. I got it to go. I have to say that the gyro is one of the best I've ever had! The flavor was amazing and the cucumber sauce was very creamy. I would highly recommend that you stop at this place! You can dine in here, there are plenty of tables to sit at. The prices are really reasonable for what you get. The staff was very friendly and helpful with explaining different items on the menu. I definitely will be back to try other things on their menu. read more

I've been a customer since they opened and have NEVER had bad food. From the burgers to the signature Gyros to the home made Baclava it's ALL DELICIOUS! I dread the day Jimmy retires. read more

Great food, very friendly staff, and kid friendly. We all got Gyro platters and everything was delicious. Their cucumber white sauce is yummy, and so is their chicken soup! Thanks so much guys! read more

The order taker was a very bad listener, she only took half our order and the food wasn't that great, it could've been way better. Way better food at Mr.Hero's or the gyro house in Lorain read more

I love this place! I eat there every Friday for lunch. The homemade soups are delicious! The House and Greek salads are distinctive in there size and taste. Yummy! The dinners are a considerable value and you get a lot of food. It's a simple place with friendly staff, great value and great food! read more

The Gyro House in Elyria, Ohio Service - Though the staff was rather busy with the sizable crowd and the preparation of large and sometimes complex orders, not only did they put my party's order in expediently, but the staff was rather friendly. Though I will admit that it took awhile for our meals to arrive, the wait was minimal in the end: 7/10 Environment - This particular restaurant was built decades ago, and it certainly shows in the decor. The 70's notorious wood paneling was prevalent throughout the spacious dining area, however it came off as charming and quaint. And, because of the restaurant and owner's Grecian background (as one might expect from a gyro joint) pictures of Greek landscapes and buildings are scattered around the room. Certainly nothing special, but it is something nice to look at as you enjoy your meal. Not to mention basic cleanliness was there as it needed to be, but the place is slightly worn down because of the building's age: 6/10 Other: Though not located in the best part of town, the Gyro House is not only a staple of the area (and the city for that matter), but it has a claw machine game as well as a hunting shoot-em-up game to keep younger customers entertained. Not to mention you can read about the restaurant's history through a newspaper clipping on the wall. The establishment burned down in 2006, but the committed owner repaired it all and opened it back up for business in a matter of months: 8/10 Now for the most important part... THE FOOD! Food - As will be customary for food reviews on this account, I will often try to review the restaurant's "staple", if you will, it's most famous item. So I ordered a plain gyro and fries. Though the fries were nothing special, they were pretty good; thick and crisp. The gyro is a different story though. I'm no lamb meat connoisseur, but I was very pleased. The lamb was soft and tender, not to mention seasoned with a small array of spices, which complimented everything well. The food obviously wasn't perfect, but it was a nice relatively inexpensive way to get good cultural food: 16/20 Final score: 37/50, rounded to 4 stars read more

As one of the other reviewers had mentioned before; it is not the best decor inside or outside, but the food is great. I have to say that the Gyro here is probably amongst the best Gyros I have had before. You wouldn't imagine a place that is essentially bare to have some amazing food, but this place does it. I also had the Pierogies with the cooked onions, and it was mouth watering. This is a great place if you like Gyros and other Mediterranean food. read more

The owner is super nice and goes the extra mile to serve. Food is seasoned to perfection and taste great. Kabobs, Gyros, Lamb, Fish he has it all. Oh, all dishes come with rice, salad and pita bread.Very casual. Drop by and spend a few extra bucks for really good food. I will be back! read more

The food is delicious. There is something for everyone. I had quite possibly one of the best gyros of my life here. Family friendly, not too modern looking but the food makes up for it. Will definitely be back! read more

Come for the gyro and don't forget the handmade pierogies!! I was in love with the thought of a great not frozen piece of tasteless meat gyro and I fell even more in love with the pierogie dinner! read more

Gyro House - Fresh pierogies slathered in onions and the dinner even came with a delicious cream of chicken soup! - Greek Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

Like the others reviews - not much in the way of decor. The food is great! Staff is always pleasant. The chicken Gyro is very tasty!

Nor much to look at on the outside, and minimalist on the inside as well. The menu was extensive and what I saw all looked appetizing. I ordered the signature item, the gyro, which was very good. Don't judge this place bio the outside, the food is good. read more

Awesome little place been there a few times never a bad meal food is great and fair priced made to order

Does not look like anything you would want on the outside but, oh my gosh the FOOD IS AMAZING. Hugh portions and cheap. Hugh MENU ALSO.

Best gyros around. The service is great. Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

Passing through Ohio and decided to stop here for dinner. Gyro platter was sooooo good. My 4 year old even said it was the best chicken noodle soup ever. My husband who doesn't like coleslaw actually ate theirs and loved it! Staff was very friendly. Will definitely stop in again if ever in the area. read more

Food was delicious! It's also the most authentic Mediterranean food I've ever had!! Its very clean and cute inside and the owner is very nice, and so passionate about his business. Everyone needs to try this place out!! read more

Can't believe the high ratings for this s**thole. Food is passable. Restaurant is beyond filthy. Arms stick to the tables because they're never cleaned. Witnessed a drug deal go down, with the staff while waiting for my order. read more

Good food and the family that owns it is very pleasant. Sometimes I do have to wait but it's worth it and my dogs is always hot.

The gyros are good with lots of meat. I would like more tomatoes (my son doesn't agree). I like that they put the sauces on the side . Their cucumber sauce is excellent. The current staff is friendly and welcoming, this wasn't always the case in the past. read more
