    Always the best gyro around the Madison area. Love love love this place! Fries are amazing too! Nothing but smiles from the crew working! Fun to visit love the garden rooftop!

    A Madison INSTITUTION! You have to come here for a delicious gyro and even more delicious Greek fries! Baklava is good too! They are super fast and friendly here! The seating upstairs is a beautiful and plays great music! It's a casual spot but filled with great vibes.

    It was tasty. Not the best gyro I have ever had but the price was right! Their fries were good as well. Free water station to get your own available with indoor and rooftop seating. You order at the counter and they call your number. Fast and efficient! There weren't many people there when we were eating so we didn't have trouble finding a table.

    State Street staple that has been serving great gyro's and fries for something like 50 years! Been coming here for my Madison gyro fix for forever. Always been great. Also love their fries. Place was starting to show some age a few years ago, but it's really been fixed up lately. Love the outdoor rooftop dining (overlooking State Street) in the warm months. Staff is friendly and shouts out "Oppa" every time they get a tip!

    We stopped by here on our way to the capitol and I'm so happy we did! We ordered lamb gyros with fries! The staff was nice and we got our food very quickly! The inside was very cool! I loved all the Greek decor! It had lots of seating as well as stairs to another seating area! Our gyros tasted very fresh and they put a lot of lamb in it which I appreciated! I do wish mine had a little bit more Tzatziki sauce on it but it was still delicious! I would definitely recommend eating here if you're in the area! It was a great portion that it kept me full for hours!

    We had lunch at Parthenon, and it was just so so. I had a Greek salad that was really mostly lettuce with a chicken kabob on top, which was a bit dry and not that flavorful. It was packed so tight in the container that it was impossible to stir. I've had much better Greek salads elsewhere. My husband had the gyro plate and said it was just okay. They had a lot of customers, so people seemed to like it, but for us, it was just okay.

    Order here at the counter

    Great food legendary spot at UW Madison. The boys behind the counter were great. The decor really shows the history of the food, the family, Madison, and their heritage. Can't wait to go back. Make sure you get the Greek Fries.

    Very nicely decorated place

    WOW!!! This place is out of this world! Best gyros in Wisconsin for sure. I am new to WI and I miss my old Greek restaurant in Glendale California. This inspired me to look up Greek restaurants and lo and behold I found this gem which is located near my work. I had to give this place a shot and I am so very glad I did. Food I ordered the spicy gyro with cheese fries and both items were absolutely delicious. It was the perfect amount of spice in my gyro. The cheese fries were the perfect amount of crispy, I've never had such perfect tasting fries before. My husband ordered two sides which were pita dippers and Baklava. The sauces (humus and tzatziki) for the pita bread were amazing and the Baklava was perfectly cooked. We even got to try Greek beer which was awesome (had a hind of fruit in it). Where else in WI do you have the chance of having a Greek beer? We will definitely be coming back to try other stuff off the item menu. This place serves authentic Greek food and to describe how flavorful the gyros were would be an understatement, you would have to taste for yourself. My new favorite Greek restaurant, thanks guys!

Since there was a total of 11 and the seating is first come first serve, we decided to call to see if they had reservations. They did take our name and reserved a table. When we arrived we noticed a table was reserved and we were informed that it was our table. We sat and looked over the menus. When we were ready my 2 boys and I went up to place our order. My one son has major allergies so we spoke to the chef and he came back out to recommend the dishes he can have. It was great that he did so and gave us confidence that my son would be able to eat without worrying too much about the ingredients. I ordered the Shrimp Kalamakia with a side of the Greek Rice. My son with the allergies ordered the Pork Kalamakia with Greek Rice and no pita, my other son ordered the Traditional Pork Gyro with Greek Rice. The sides we ordered: Saganaki Fritters and Spanakopitakia. My son that ordered the Pork Kalamakia devoured it. He said it was tender and juicy and probably could have eaten 4 skewers. My Shrimp Kalamakia was nicely charred and seasoned, I squeezed some lemon and it provided a nice tang over the seasoning. The Lemon rice pilaf was soft and cook just right and was nicely balanced. I had one Saganaki Ball and it was delicious. My son had the Pork Gyros said it was really good and the Tzatziki sauce was creamy and rich with flavors. My in-laws bought the table desserts and I got the Baklava and my wife got Loukoumades (Greek Donuts with Nutella) and both did not disappoint. I really loved the citrus honey syrup in the Baklava. The Loukoumades had a crispy shell and nice a fluffy on the inside and the Nutella amount was perfect. This place is very good and well worth the price in my opinion. I loved the fact that they took the time to make sure my son with allergies was safe.

We ordered the saganaki to start, which was flambéed table side and it was fresh and delicious. We shared the porterhouse and the lamb chops (which were loins, not ribs) and there was an extra $8 charge on shared plates. The porterhouse was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The filet portion was my favorite part. The lamb loin chops were very thick and came with 4 large pieces. Each order came with a side salad or soup, and some type of potato, with many options to choose from. I love the Greek influence on this steak house restaurant. This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion or for a nice dinner.

When I called to make our reservation, I let the staff know we were coming in for our 10-year anniversary. When we arrived, I also mentioned it to the host (the bald gentleman with glasses). He responded with, "Well, your wife is right behind you--there goes the surprise," as if she wouldn't know it was our anniversary. At no point during the evening did anyone acknowledge our celebration or even say "Happy anniversary." I even asked our waiter, Pat M., whether anyone had told him we were celebrating anything. He said no--that no one had informed him we were there for our anniversary. We didn't come expecting free food, dessert, or anything special. But not acknowledging our anniversary at all--especially after we mentioned it twice--was frustrating. Every other place we've celebrated at has at least offered a simple "Happy anniversary," if not a dessert, flowers on the table, or a personalized menu. Log Cabin truly dropped the ball, and I believe the host is largely to blame.
