One of the Westside market legends, I've always wanted to try Steve's Gyro's but the line was always long. Now I know why. One of the most flavorful and fresh gyro meat I've ever had in CLE. The star is the sauce. A traditional tzatziki with a little bit of spice and tanginess. I could eat that sauce with anything and it would make it taste better. Cash only so bring some with you. One of the must try's in CLE and westside market. Service fast and friendly. Great atmosphere being in the market. read more

Steve's Gyros - Mountain of meat on the regular size gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Wow! Definitely worth getting if you're at west side market. The gyros are a mix of beef and lamb but I could barely taste the lamb, which is great since I don't like lamb. They give so much meat! Wish there were more vegetables (eg cucumber, tomato and pickles) to diversify each meat-heavy bite. On Sunday, they said they open at 10am, but it didn't really open until 10:15. read more

Steve's Gyros - Gyro. Messy but good - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

How have I not written a review for this place sooner. Let's just say I knew and loved Steve's Gyros well before Man vs Food . The portions are huge and if you are feeling froggy then get the double meat and prepare for a nap after. The gyros are always fantastic, but honestly makes this place. The best is the tzatziki sauce. It's not your traditional white sauce. It almost has the color of big Mac sauce and it makes all the difference in a really great Gyro. I try to go a little later in the day because sometimes there are lines of people around lunchtime 15 to 20 people deep. You know when people are standing and waiting in a long line... That makes it definitely worth the wait because they are doing something right. Thank you Steve's Gyros for years of great food and service read more

Had this a decade or so ago and I decided to give them another go. Hands down one the BEST gyros you can get anywhere in the state. No wonder why they've been featured on dozens of those food reality shows like Man vs Food etc. I literally ate for 3 days off ONE JUMBO GYRO and every bite of leftovers was just as flavorful of the first freshest bite. This place has been around for EONS because they know what they're doing read more

Best place to eat at the West Side market. They have the best gyros. The line is usually long, but worth the wait. The gyros are huge and a good price for what you get. read more

If there's only one thing on the menu, I firmly believe it's because they're an expert in that one thing. And that's definitely the case with Steve's Gyros. One of the best I've ever had! read more

Steve's Gyros - Gyros - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Cash only, cash only Didn't have a chance to eat. Can't submit my expense into my company when it's cash only. No tip, no sale, no turnover in product. Had some great Brats on hard rolls just a few spots away. They take credit cards. read more

rarely leave negative reviews, but this sandwich was terrible The filling tasted old and bland, with a strange aftertaste that made it almost inedible. and the meat was questionable at best-chewy and flavorless. Honestly, l've had better sandwiches from a gas station. For the price, I expected something I never seen gyros as chunk not thin cut it's like size of lamb chunk but this was the exact opposite. Definitely not worth ordering again. We bought six sandwiches and we came from Chicago because we heard Steve gyros make best gyros but unfortunately we were very disappointed never ever again and if you want to clean your stomach try one of this sandwich sorry to say that but this the truth Done read more

I first visited West Side Market back in 2015. Those were the days - the jam packed produce arcade and the bustling of people both tourists and locals alike were really a sight to behold. One of the things I put on my bucket list was to get a gyro from Steve's Gyros, but the shop was always quite busy, with long, snaking lines of people waiting for food. There was so much other food to try in West Side Market that I never wanted to wait in that line. It's been a couple of years since my last visit, but this time I would be undeterred. We got there on a Sunday at about 11AM and luckily there wasn't any line at all! There was only one gyro log cooking in the rotisserie (they have 3 total vertical rotisseries, so I guess they do cook quite a bit on busy days). The cook takes an electric knife and shaves off pieces into a metal tray occasionally. She uses the cut meat (weighing it in a container to make sure the ratios are perfect) and starts constructing the sandwich. Gyro sandwich ($13) - The base is a warmed up Greek pita, graced with a bit of lettuce, tomato, and onion to add freshness, a tangy yogurty tzatziki spooned on top, and finally a massive pile of meat. The vegetables are standard food service and help act as a barrier between the tzatziki and the bread, allowing you more time before the pita gets soggy. The sandwich is wrapped in two pieces of aluminum foil, but neither of them completely cover the sandwich. As you take off the top layer, you're immediately confronted with a huge pile of gyro meat. The shop has a container of plastic forks, which you can use skim off slices of meat before they start falling all over the floor. The meat doesn't really have any crisp anywhere, but the portion that faces the heating element develops a bit of a caramelized exterior that's slightly dryer and tougher compared to more more tender interior meat. The meat itself is seasoned well, less salty than other places and there's fennel seeds and other herbs and spices to make it fragrant. There is a good mixture of slices and chunks to make an interesting bite with different textures. They add so much meat that the gyro as a whole is much wider than the width of the widest part of my arm. To be honest, I find that amount of meat to be a little too excessive - there's enough to probably make 3 or 4 gyros, which might be why they also offer an option to order extra bread and sauce on the side. I shudder to think about how much meat is included in the jumbo version of the sandwich ($16). For me, this is more of a 3.5/5 type of sandwich, which I will round up. (4/5) I'm not a huge fan of having that much meat in a sandwich - it makes everything really unbalanced. Then again, I guess that's the selling point of Steve's Gyros so if you like meat, this place certainly gives you your money's worth. read more

I can't go to the west side market and not get my favorite gyro in the city. 5th or 6th time here from Pittsburgh and the most memorable to date. The meat was more in chunks than slices which I enjoyed a ton. Flavorful, tender, and excellent tzatziki read more

Gotta love a classic... I don't think it gets better than Steve's Gyros period. West side market has been there forever and Steve's has to be a huge part of that history. I got a huge gyro and a beverage then proceed to head to the loft seating area overlooking the entire market. It was love at first bite. I was glad to order extra Tzatziki sauce with it's creamy and garlicky bite. To say this sandwich (Yes a gyro is a sandwich) was huge was an understatement. I have an unusually large appetite and even I found it difficult to finish one by myself. It was a labor of love if I say so myself. The meat was spiced and cooked perfectly and when covered in sauce and fresh veggies in between such great pita it has to be perfection. Prices were good for what you get, service was good (you will wait in line, but it's so worth it) definitely a must have when visiting the West side market, Aloha read more

Regular gyro fills 1.2 servings. Jumbo fills 1.5 servings, assuming an average male serving is 1.0 and female is 0.8

It was once the best Gryo in town but the one I had today was terrible. Won't go again

Anytime I go I'm satisfied. The meat is cooked and sliced to my liking. Now I believe they have beef and lamb but not sure. I get the jumbo which is extra meat. That will last me all day lunch and dinner literally. Overall you get your money worth easily. read more

Located in Westside market in the back corner. They specialize in the gyro, as the name suggests, and they don't lie. We got both the jumbo and the regular, and there was an insane amount of meat. ($14 and $12) Go for the jumbo if you're there for the meat, and the regular for a more balanced, well-rounded bite. Only complaint is that it's on the oily side. read more

honestly the best place in Cleveland to get a gyro. i always get a jumbo & ask for extra pitas and can feed 3 people! lol quick and friendly and to the point. no b.s. or extra stuff food network featured on Man vs Food & others! read more

Best gyro's in the country - plus no french fries added as they do in "old county" Worth the wait.

The subject of many songs, such as Chicago's "If You Steve Me Now", Michael Jackson's "Steve Me Alone", Belinda Carlisle's "Steve A Light On", Sheryl Crow's "Steve in Las Vegas", and the classic "Don't Steve Me This Way." Despite all the hype and it being on the travel channel, I actually found this to be one of the most bland and uninteresting Gyros I've had. Gyros are supposed to taste of spice & seasoning - not just like hamburger meat. Sure, they put enough meat to feed a small country for several years on this Gyro, but for me, quality is much more important than portion size. I'll give the 3 just because it is pretty huge - and it's not the worst thing I've ever tasted. Still, if this is the best Gyro you've had, you don't know Gyros. But I have to say that being on the Travel Channel and Food Network seems more conducive with bad quality than good. Really makes you wonder why people watch that stuff. I guess they just don't know any better. read more

Steve's Gyros - Gyronly as good as your last gyro. I've never said that before. - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I heard about this place many years ago. Half the time Steve? wasn't at the stand. He'd be off talking to someone. Back then I didn't think that the Gyros were anything special. Well, all the stands I liked back then have gone belly up. The prices are quite high & it's cash only. I got a jumbo with extra sauce last week.$18. It was pretty good. Thick chunks of meat grilled till crispy. Delicious ! The sauce is unique compared to the other Gyro stands. It's GOOD! It'll cost ya, but it's one tasty Gyro. read more

Mildly obsessed with these gyros and try to get them whenever I am near the West Side Market. Stopped yesterday. Walked up and the line was long, but I decided to wait. Luckily, it went super fast. I ordered a jumbo gyro with 2 extra pita and 2 extra sauce and it fed out family of 4 (2 small kids). I love the sauce as it has a kick to it. My kids didn't like that so we gave them plain sour cream. Definitely try it when you are in the area. read more

Steve's Gyros - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

First visited about five years ago and it was a 4-star then, but is now a barely a 1-star. Probably still around cause of old TV appearances and people who don't know any better, this place serves gyros that are big in size but small in flavor. The meat used to be juicy and rich, but now tastes frozen or straight from a can. The pita isn't as fresh and the famed garlic sauce tastes like a watered-down version of its former self. Add the (not so cute anymore) "rules" and a non-appreciative apathetic attitude, and you have more than enough reasons to laugh at the velvet ropes. Rating: 1 Janet Jackson album out of 5 read more

Steve's Gyros - gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Reputation is well-earned. Best gyro I ever had! Regular is enough for two people! Sooo good! Really nice staff also! Thanks!

I had to wait in a long & slow line, but the reward was amazing. HUGE gyro for $9 or jumbo (extra meat) for $11, although I can't image who could possible eat all that! Pita, loads of meat, lettuce, onions, tomato and sauce. Pretty simple but definitely tasty. read more

Steve's Gyros - half-eaten (regular size) gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

One if the rings we miss tremendously about living in Ohio is Steve's Gyros. There sizes are enormous. You can get a large and an extra pita and likely have more than enough for 2 people. The wait can be long (surprisingly wasn't the last time we went, so maybe it isn't like it was when we lived there years ago). But even when you have to wait, it is worth it. Be prepared, though, cash only. read more

Had Steve's years ago and it was the best ever! Came today and was sorely disappointed, the meat wasn't fresh cut off the spit but I'm guessing frozen then heated on the griddle and chopped into chunks. Not near what it was in the past barely warm chunks of not fresh meat. Meh Disappointing. I gave a 2 bc the pita and sauce were still good! read more

This is the best gyro in cleveland, and I'm loyal to a few other spots so it pains me to say that. I'm writing this review at 9pm and I haven't eaten from here in the last week. But it's always somewhere on my mind. The gyro is big, if you get the extra meat it's massive. I always opt for an extra sauce, it's very unique, not traditional tzaziki sauce, it has a horseradishy tang to it. If you like gyros get one of these. read more

You can find Steve's Gyros on this map of Westside Market all the way on the right, in the middle (http://westsidemarket.org/wp-content/uploads/WSM-Map-and-Directory_JUNE2014_websitedownload.pdf). I visited Westside Market spontaneously the other day around 10am and was pleasantly surprised to see that not only was Steve's open, but there was NO LINE. After a few minutes weighing whether I was hungry enough for an extremely early lunch (I'd already had breakfast) against the fact that I might never again see this opportunity, I took my place in front of the counter. Normally I would have stood there for another few minutes pondering what to order, but Steve's really simplifies things for the indecisive customer because you really only have two choices: a Regular Gyro, or a Jumbo Gyro. [You can also purchase a soft drink, water, a four-pack of pita bread, and extra sauce/bread, but I digress.] Before you start asking about customization be sure to read the Rules on the counter because they have reserve every right to refuse service to an overly picky or unfriendly customer. And also, bring cash. I was asked whether I wanted "everything on it" and nodded because I figured they knew their product best. I saw heaping portions of lettuce, tomato, and onions (oh, my, God the amount of onions in there) thrown in - but the biggest heap of all was the spiced lamb. Then came a generous lather of creamy sauce. The foil-wrapped end product was comparable in size to a Chipotle burrito. And price, since the regular is $8. I was handed my gyro in a brown paper bag with two napkins - but I could definitely have used more because eating was a REALLY messy affair. The Regular was enough to sustain me for the next five hours. Okay, I have a confession to make: I don't like lamb. But Steve's is Steve's and there's no alternative, so I went with my gut (which actually makes many of my life decisions) and decided to try it. I loved it - I would have loved it more if the pita was heated. The strips and chunks of meat were flavor-blasted to perfection with spices and didn't have any of the heavy, gamey flavor I was hesitant about. The sauce - I'm not even sure what was in it, but it was well-balanced without being too rich. I might have overdosed on onions during this meal, but the little pieces give such a satisfying crunch and aroma to the rest of the meal I'm tempted to coerce you into getting them even if you don't like onions. Beware the after-breath though! If you have the opportunity, I'd definitely give Steve's Gyros a try. They've worked out the recipe for a no frills tasteful, texture-ful, (over-)filling meal that you can eat on the go. Now, if they only had late-night delivery... read more

WOW. just WOW. This is the best gyro I have ever eaten! I loved it so much, I ate here twice within a span of 24 hours. I give the gyros 10 stars, but minus 5 stars for the slow and inefficient service. There are two workers manning the stand, and most of the time, they were just chatting away and having a ball while the customers waited (im)patiently. At the end of the day though, the 1+ hour line is worth it!! The regular gyro costs $8 and is equivalent to a Chipotle burrito in size. The jumbo gyro is $10 and is pretty much the same size but just with a little extra meat. I recommend getting a gyro for your entree, a nutella banana crepe from Crepe De Luxe for dessert, and a bubble tea from Kim Se for drink! That is the best meal ever :) read more

Better come hungry when you go to Steve's! They really love their gyros up. Small menu with not many options but what they lack in variety they more than make up for in quality read more

All of the comments about the quality and quantity of the gyros are correct, they are worth the $10.50 (regular) and $12.50 (large) price. I ordered ours to go with sauce on the side and they did a great job packing everything. The line can get long and the workers move at a very measured (slow) pace. I wish that they could rearrange the queue so that you do not have to stand pressed up against the counter in that narrow aisle with people banging into your back. read more
