It was welcoming and vibrant and homey all at the same time. The owner was there talking with customers, and after giving us time to look over the menu she came to us and asked us to place our order all together. We got grape leaves, baba Ghosh, Greek salad and tabouli to share. I also got hot tea which was dark and fragrant. The meal came quickly and melted in our mouths! I loved the vibrancy of the tabouli, and the texture of the grape leaves were amazing. We sat to enjoy the meal and would fur sure return again and again. It was delicious! If you are t familiar with Lebanese food this is an excellent place to try it as it is amazing!

I recently visited Gyros on Main in Covington, Kentucky, and I can confidently say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Walking in, I was immediately greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The decor has a charming blend of modern and traditional Greek touches, setting the perfect backdrop for a delightful meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt right at home. Now, let's talk about the food! The menu features an impressive selection of classic Greek dishes. I decided to try the lamb gyros, and they did not disappoint. The meat was seasoned to perfection, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a delicious adventure! The fresh veggies and creamy tzatziki sauce completed the dish beautifully, adding a refreshing crunch and a cool creaminess. I also couldn't resist sampling their famous spanakopita as an appetizer. The flaky pastry and savory spinach filling were simply divine. It paired perfectly with a glass of their homemade lemonade, which was the ideal balance of sweet and tangy. For dessert, we indulged in authentic baklava. It was a sweet, nutty finish to our meal that left us wanting more. I highly recommend saving room for this treat! Overall, Gyros on Main not only serves up incredible food but also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. Whether you're a fan of Greek cuisine or just looking for a great meal, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and try more dishes from their menu! read more

"Fantastic Experience with Excellent Service!" I had the pleasure of dining at Gyros on Main recently, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The service was absolutely top-notch - attentive without being overbearing, and they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was equally impressive. Every dish was prepared with care and delivered to our table looking as good as it tasted. I particularly recommend the Philly or chicken Gyro which was absolutely delicious. Overall, this place is a hidden gem, and I can't wait to return. The combination of great service and delicious food makes it a perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommended! read more

All three of us went for a lamb gyro with fries. There was only one guy working the truck but he worked fast for sure. And how were they? Excellent! They definitely didn't skimp on the meat! I had to eat half of the inside before I could fold it together. The fries were very well seasoned too. Glad to see more food trucks in Amelia and this is one absolutely worth checking out.

Knuckles Deli opened in March 2026 by owners & friends Britton de la Chapelle, Cesar Salazar & David Hall, and they're bringing their love of Chicago-style food to Cincinnati! After years of working in the restaurant industry for other companies, they wanted to have a place to call their own. Let's get into the bites! I ordered the Italian Beef Hot & Dry, topped with Marconi Giardiniera + Cheese on a Turano roll straight from Chicago, with their Au Jus on the side to dip it in. Both the Italian Beef & Au Jus are made from scratch using Cesar Salazar's old family recipe, and you can taste the love & tradition in every bite! That savory, juicy beef + the kick from the giardiniera + that Au Jus dip? CHEF'S KISS. Of course, I had to round out the Chicago experience with the Potato Salad & Chicago Italian Beef Kettle Chips, which were yummy as well! My favorite bites? Definitely the Italian Beef & Au Jus! If you're an Italian Beef or a sandwich fan, you need to put Knuckles Deli on your list & don't forget to ask about their Secret Menu!

It did take a long time to get my order because of how many people were waiting, but that's not a bad sign - the demand was real. The seating situation is kind of strange. There are only a few seats at the bar and if those are filled, you have to take your food to go. There is a back section that is half makeshift storage and half a grocery store. I think this is a missed opportunity and they could rearrange this and add some tables back there.
