    Gyro Supreme Sandwich
    Lauren H.

    We tried the original lamb gyro and the gyro supreme. We preferred the original lamb gyro compared to the supreme but both tasted good and fresh. The prices listed on their website aren't the same prices they charge at the drive through, so be aware of that. I would recommend though!

    Yum! A nice selection, it's so good that I wish the portions were bigger hehe! It's a nice selection and the service was friendly. There was a nice worker who gave us a Tzatziki sauce for free. The Greek fries were addicting due to the spices. It has ample seating for people, although we were the only ones there at the time. I would comeback again and recommend it if you want some Greek flavor. The environment has some light classic rock music playing in the back which is pleasant. Be aware that they are closed on Sundays.

    Chicken Pita Sandwich
    Maddie K.

    Really small place, 99% sure it's drive thru only. The guy at the window saw my dog sitting in the back and gave me a complimentary "puppy special" which was shaved gyro wrapped in foil! needless to say, she loved it. Service was speedy and the food was so good! I highly recommend the pita fries, they're crispy and salty and delicious. Next time I think I would go for the "supreme" addition of onions and mushrooms to the sandwich. It wasn't bad but that addition would have kicked it up a notch. I'll be back to try the falafel next.

    Very OK gyro....nothing exceptional. I found the meat ratio to be on the low side and could've used more tzakiki sauce. I was very let down by the "Greek fries." To me, this means feta and maybe some tzakiki sauce. To them, this meant fries with what I guess was was a Greek seasoning on them? My expectations may have been off. But I was disappointed.

    Souvlaki platter
    Ann L.

    Was looking forward to some tasty chicken souvlaki and gyro sandwiches. They were staffed strangely with only 1 cook and 3 people to take orders. Most people came to drive the through. We were the only 2 people sitting inside to eat. When I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter the server frowned and said it would take at least 15 minutes and did I still want it? Okayyyy.... I still wanted it, and the gyro sandwich for my mom. The platter came with 2 small skewers of chicken, maybe 3 oz total, a pita and a small portion of over salted Greek fries. I actually was still hungry after eating this meal. The meat was salty and dry. Moms gyro sandwich was a bit better, but I think $9 for a gyro that comes with nothing is a bit pricey. I'll post photos. We won't be back.

    How do you make a 5 star claim on a drive thru? Here's how: 1-Clean building inside and out. The grounds look like they were once a Rally's or a Coney Island drive thru. There are no seats, unless you count your car. It is after all a drive thru. Looking in from the DT window, it is very clean looking and smells good. 2- Friendly staff - I spoke with 2 young ladies this evening and both were nice and seemed happy to be there. They were courteous and friendly. 3-Good Food - the Pita fries are off the chain good. The cuts of lamb in the gyros were huge and tender. Everything tasted fresh. This goes for the tziki sauce, real fresh cucumbers, very subtle flavor! 4- good value - a filling meal under $10. 5 - fast: in and out under 5 minutes. Back to the gyro - mine was the royals with the tasty feta and onions. Not too strong, maybe the best onions and peppers ever, very mild, almost sweet. The meat was great and plentiful. Again, pita fries are unique and tasty.

    Boy do I love this place, however, the last 5-6 times they seem to forget either the side of Taziki/Feta every single time. My fault for not checking my food before I drive away, but I should trust if I'm paying for something I expect to receive it.

    Very good. They seasoned the lettuce and tomatoes that came on the gyro. The fries were fresh and well seasoned as well. Over all would definitely recommend and will be back.

    Falafel wrap
    Marcy H.

    Say yes to the express. When I come home from work I am the poster child for those snickers commercials where extreme hunger turns normal people into monsters. Knowing this my loving mama picked me up a Falafel Wrap from the Pitaria Express because she cares about the safety and sustainability of my family. The Falafel Wrap was perfect: the falafel was perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft and nutty on the inside, the pita bread was soft and yummy and the veggies were fresh. The diced onions were pretty intense but I'm a big girl and I handled it. I loved the yogurt sauce on top as well. It was super simple and satiating. The Baklava followed the same formula: perfect textures and consistency, not too sweet, just simple and good.

    I have no idea what this is but it hurt my tooth when I bit down on it. It was in my gyro..

    We visited Hayward House Bistro for brunch on FSU Parents Weekend, September 2025. That Sunday…read moremorning the wait list was in effect before the restaurant even opened. I managed to secure a nice table with not even a 25 minute wait thanks to a very courteous and professional manager (thank you, Steve!). At the table, everything was clean, shiny and the server was prompt despite a very busy morning. The crowd, obviously, seemed to be mostly college students and parents. I'm pretty sure during the week it's the Capitol Hill crowd. The food was tasty and really hit the spot. Coffees fresh brewed all around, of course. We started with the Breakfast Poutine for appetizer which was hearty and all enjoyed. For entrees, two Southern Benedict, the Waffle Flight, scrambled eggs and bacon. All the food was cooked to order, presented nicely and the taste exceeded expectations. Also, kudos to our Server, Jose. We'll likely visit again and enjoyed the meal. The ambience, flavors and service professionals were great. I should also mention parking in this area can be challenging so take that into consideration. Do make a reservation or arrive early!

    We chose Hayward House to celebrate our son's graduation from Florida State University and made a…read more2:15 pm lunch reservation for 6 people because the ceremony was at 7 pm. We drove to Tallahassee that day, but unfortunately got caught in heavy traffic due to President Trump speaking in Sumter County near The Villages. As Soon as we realized we would not make our reservation, we called the restaurant to explain the unavoidable circumstances and asked if there was any way to move our reservation to another time that day. Initially, we were told no, so we canceled the reservation. Shortly afterwards, the restaurant called back and informed us we would be charged a cancellation fee of $ 150 - $ 25.00 per person. I completely understand having a cancellation policy, however, charging $ 25 per person for a lunch reservation during unavoidable traffic circumstances felt excessive and unreasonable, especially after we proactively called ahead. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of flexibility or compassion during an important family milestone. I explained repeatedly that we were desperately trying not to miss our son's graduation celebration and were even worried about missing the ceremony itself because we were stuck in traffic. I asked about every possible alternative- a later dinner reservation, appetizers only, or even moving reservation to another day. Ever request was denied except for a 4 pm slot, which still was not realistic given the traffic situation. What upset me the most was not just the fee itself, but the unwillingness to work with us. A more customer focused approach could have been allowing the $ 150 to be applied toward a future visit. Because of this experience, my family will NEVER dine at Hayward House, and I would NOT recommend it to other FSU families celebrating special occasions.

    First of all, this place feels like a NYC-style eatery in the best way. The artwork is beautiful,…read moreand the blue-green color scheme makes it a really nice space to sit and enjoy your food. They also offer a 5% discount if you pay in cash, which is a nice bonus. I got "The Hummer," which has turkey, feta, black olives, tomato, onion, and lettuce on rye-pumpernickel with mayonnaise and house dressing. It was so good. The bread was SUPER YUMMY and looked beautiful too (if you care about aesthetics). All the flavors blended together really well without anything overpowering, and it had this refreshing quality to it that made it stand out. I would definitely order it again. My partner got "The Sauté," which is turkey with Parmesan, Cheddar, Swiss, and a mix of sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms on a warm poppy seed roll, plus lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and house dressing. The roll was good and it was very flavorful but is was the combination of the veggies, turkey, and melted cheeses gave it a lot of depth. Everything tasted fresh. I got a combo with Mrs. Vickie's salt and vinegar chips, which is always a good sign. And the sweet tea--wow. It wasn't overly sweet, but what really stood out was the flavor. You could actually taste the tea, with slightly minty, earthy notes that made it feel really well done. That's rare. Overall, for what this place is, it deserves all stars. The staff was kind and helpful, the food came out quickly, and everything we had was genuinely good. P.S. There is no photos because I forgot due to it being so da** good!

We dined at the Market Street location which is quaint and convenient to all of your NE Tallahassee shopping. It's truly a landmark in Tallahassee. Their fresh brewed tea is the perfect top off to your meal, and don't forget to order a slice of cake too.

    If you know anything about Greek mythology, you'll have a deeper appreciation for Argonaut coffee…read more It's a real cute little shop right across the street from Cascades Park, so we took our coffee to go and went for a lovely stroll outside. Most of the drinks here are Mythologically themed- Aphrodite, Apollo, Hercules, you get the point. I tried the Persephone, which was a pomegranate flavored coffee. Super on par for Greek Mythology, if you know you know. Yes, getting a pomegranate coffee was extremely risky, but it was so intriguing I had to try it out. And let me say, it was probably as good as a pomegranate coffee could turn out. You could definitely taste it but it wasn't so overpowering or artificial tasting. I don't think I'd try it again as I'd rather just have a plain coffee but I was fairly impressed. There's not a ton of seating in here but could be a very peaceful place to study and do work. Plus a cute gated & shaded courtyard right outside the shop.
