Greek salad from combo platter
Kevin S.

Solid Gyro establishment. Came in for dinner and the restaurant was nice and clean, with a TV in the dining area playing CNN. Was there around 630pm Wednesday night and it looked like the owners were busy making takeout orders. Service was attentive once I got their attention though. I ordered a combo platter for myself thinking the price was a little steep, but I didn't expect it to get so much food. One combo platter will run you around $25, but there is enough food for two people. Parking is available on the side of the restaurant for curbside pick up and they also have two tables for seating outside. The main road the restaurant is located on can get pretty busy sometimes so take care when you are close to the restaurant so as to not drive past it. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you feel like some well made gyro and want some quality and quality of food for the price.

I was around the neighborhood yesterday and it was dinner time, landed at this gyro spot! It was very pleasant from the cashier being super nice and the chef doing an amazing job with the food! Only thing that hurt me but still not enough for then a 5star review was the potato's, they were very sour so be careful with those lol. The gyro was warm and fresh, the white sauce spot on! Hot sauce delicious. Plenty of seating available and outside seating available too. Private parking available and also street parking available. I'd highly recommend this place!

Lemon Potatoes

Truly amazing little spot, Your order at the counter, many items on the menu, let me start with the staff very friendly, very polite. Just like all the other comments, Island Gyro. have some good people working there. food was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised the food is just as good as a high-end Greek Resturant, I didn't expect this kind of food from a simple Gyro souvlaki Place,, they give you plenty of tzatziki sauce, lol, spinach pie was outstanding calamari, very crispy, I love the lemon soup it really had a nice strong, lemon taste. Very good onion rings the lemon potatoes were delicious the chicken Gyro was very good the way I like it strips, the pork sticks, shrimp, sticks, lamb sticks were outstanding, they give you huge portions for the price, everything had just the right amount of spice And herbs, there's a parking lot on the side of the building, I really enjoyed my experience. It will definitely be back soon when I'm in the neighborhood.

Let me start by saying this was hands down one of the most exceptional dining experiences I've had…read morein a long time. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was truly next-level. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and every single person from the host to the bartender to our server and everyone in between played a part in making the night feel special. The attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine kindness did not go unnoticed, and it set the tone for the entire evening. We were first greeted with warm bread and olive oil, which was absolutely delightful and the perfect start. Our server, Paulino (I hope I'm spelling his name right), guided us through the menu with such care and knowledge, which made the experience even better. We started with the mussels Bianco and baked clams both were outstanding, easily a 9/10. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, we had the branzino and a pasta dish that was nothing short of amazing. The attention to detail like freshly cracked pepper added right at the table made everything feel elevated and thoughtfully done. To end the night, I mentioned that my mom had just passed her real estate exam and that we were celebrating her. They went above and beyond by bringing out an apple crostini with a candle, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. And yes, we devoured the entire thing. It was that good. Truly a 10000/10 moment. What made this experience even more meaningful is that it came after a long, stressful day at the ER. Walking into such warmth, care, and genuine hospitality meant more than I can put into words. Thank you again for the incredible service, attentiveness, and overall experience. I truly wish I could remember everyone's names because each person we encountered was a pleasure. Please let them know my mom and I are so grateful. We dined on April 3rd around 9 PM, and it's a night we won't forget.

It tasted like spring with the blistered tomatoes and the freshly made ravioli. The lamb shank was cooked well. But the presentation could use some work. The desserts was always a hit.

Last night I had one of those rare meals that reminds you why certain foods never go out of style…read more-- and this pizza experience absolutely delivered at a five-star level. From the moment the box opened, the aroma alone told me this wasn't ordinary. There's a very specific scent when high-quality dough meets properly fermented tomato sauce and whole-milk mozzarella under intense heat slightly sweet, slightly smoky, with that faint toasted wheat perfume. That's what hit first. And it set the tone. The crust deserves its own paragraph. This was not dough rushed through a same-day rise. You could see and taste the fermentation a delicate blistering along the outer rim, a leopard-spotted char that signaled high heat and confidence in the oven. The exterior had that thin crackle when you bit in, but underneath? Airy, structured, and elastic. No gumminess. No collapse. The crumb had visible alveoli a hallmark of proper hydration and technique. It held the toppings without sagging, yet folded beautifully in classic New York fashion. That balance is harder to achieve than most people realize. The sauce was restrained which is the mark of someone who knows what they're doing. Bright, clean tomato flavor with natural acidity intact. No over-herbing. No sugary shortcut. You could taste the tomato, not a seasoning cabinet. It complemented rather than competed. The cheese application was textbook. Even distribution, slight caramelization at the edges, and that ideal melt structure -- cohesive stretch without greasiness pooling across the surface. When lifted, each slice gave that elegant pull without tearing the pie apart. That's temperature control and ingredient quality working together. Now, the garlic knots. These were not afterthoughts. Too many places treat garlic knots like a way to use scrap dough. Not here. These were shaped intentionally, proofed properly, and baked to a golden hue that spoke of even heat circulation. The exterior carried a subtle crispness while the inside remained feather-soft. And the garlic. Real garlic. Fresh, aromatic, gently sautéed in olive oil not raw and sharp, not powdered and dull. Tossed generously, but not drowned. Finished with what tasted like freshly chopped parsley and a light snowfall of grated cheese. Each bite was savory, fragrant, and deeply satisfying without being heavy. What truly elevates this place beyond "great food" into five-star territory is the discipline. Nothing felt accidental. The ratios were right. The bake was consistent. The flavors were balanced. That doesn't happen by chance that's ownership that cares. You can tell when a business is run by someone who respects the craft. The owner clearly understands dough science, ingredient sourcing, and most importantly -- restraint. It takes maturity to avoid overloading a pie. It takes pride to make garlic knots that could stand on their own as a signature item. Beyond the food, there's a sense that this establishment values community and quality equally. Clean execution, confidence in their product, and zero gimmicks just skill and passion. Five stars without hesitation. In a world where pizza is everywhere, excellence is rare. This was excellence.

Ordered three big deep dish pizza slices for $13 the pizzas were better than perfect. The owner I…read moreassume was there calm attitude and was helpful. They played my type of music too over all amazing spot I'd travel back and skate here too just for this pizza.
