On our weekend trip to Salem, MA this was the perfect spot for a quick lunch. The place is small, but has a few tables to dine in. The one guy working who took our order and cooked the food was so friendly and even let us in a local music show going on that evening! They have a lot of meat and veggie options. We got the burrito, the falafel gyro, and the tzatziki fries. We cleared our plates and stuffed ourselves a bit too full because it was just THAT GOOD! When you go, make sure you try the tzatziki fries, they were the highlight for us! read more

The Gyro Spot - Gyro Burrito Tzatziki Fries Falafel Gyro - Greek Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

After hours of frolicking around Salem and listening to the witch history of the city we were famished and ready to rest our feet and fill our bellies. Now of course everything in Salem was pretty crowded and we were looking for just a quick bite to eat, so The Gyro Spot was what we settled on. And I was so happy this was our choice. A bit of a hole in the wall with not much seating, but we managed to snag some seats in the window. Now The Gyro Spot has no frills to their business, but if you're popping in, you're stopping for food not the ambiance of being in Salem. The staff working behind the counter were really nice and even apologized for a little bit of a wait when receiving my food. I got the traditional gyro with beef and lamb and let me tell you that was the best gyro I've had. They don't use the pre-formed meat slices; they actually use slices of lamb meat which I thoroughly enjoyed. And the fries were crispy and seasoned. My only grip was I didn't ask for the sauce on the side, because I often find they put too much sauce and I'm not a huge fan. However, that was a mistake of my own and the gyro was still amazing. If you're in the Salem area and looking for a quick grab and go bite to eat, then pop into The Gyro Spot. read more

The Gyro Spot - Traditional beef & lamb gyro - Greek Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

A decent spot for a quick lunch. Although they have some tables inside, the ambiance would be better just about anywhere else. They do serve a good G Spot Chicken Bowl with fresh ingredients, unfortunately nothing great and a little light on serving size for the price. Looking to fill your belly, this will do. Cheers! read more

I would give this place a -5/10. I got the chicken gyro. The chicken was a little dry and gave me a slight stomach ache. The fries that came in the gyro were very good. The service was ok little weird tbh but to be expected in Salem. The inside seemed a little run down like an old time pizza shop. Kindve of vibe if your into that type of thing. Might come back might not. Keep ya posted *UPDATE* This place legitimately gave me food poisoning. Was feeling great all day then I had this around 8PM. Wasn't feeling good after I ate it and started throwing up non stop since then. read more

I hate posting non positive reviews but hopefully this feedback helps whoever runs this place improve it. 1.) the food was a 3/10. When the fries and tomatoes are the best part of your gyro something is very off. I had the beef and lamb gyro with a side of tzatziki; the meat lacked seasoning / flavor and was overly dry. The portion size for meat was far below what I consider acceptable for a 16$ quick takeaway sandwich, the tzatziki lacked garlic and herbs, it was just tangy. 2.) the employees were nice enough but they need to think of the customers and the ambiance they are creating; having death metal screamo music blasting while customers are in here eating with their children and their significant others just kills the mood. Needless to say 20$ for an underwhelming gyro. a side of tzatziki, a pita and death metal music I won't be coming back. read more

The Gyro Spot - Build Your Own - Greek Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

When in Salem for Halloween and you see a restaurant that is empty, perchance follow your intuition and move on. We surely didn't. The staff appeared to be a mixture of high schoolers or adults playing high schoolers, and their energy was super chaotic and unprofessional. Once we ordered, the place filled with smoke. I contemplated stepping outside because I was choking, as I have asthma. In the corner sat a homeless dude with no purchased food, but he did have a 6 pack that he kept drinking in between naps. The tzatziki fries were disappointing as hell, dry and not worth the price. I got the falafel gyro and when I say it was 80% pickles, please heed my advice. The falafel also tasted bitter. Every single bite, and I had my husband try it in case it was me. It was as if they were made with vinegar. I could not finish it. My husband ordered the lamb and beef. To me, it was dry AF. To him, it wasn't good. The little meat it had was again, dry, and he simply couldn't find something positive to say about it. I'm honestly surprised at the ratings. Y'all need to try better gyro spots instead of hyping this one up! read more

The Gyro Spot - Pork Gyro - Greek Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Over the last few years, we have happily popped into the Gyro spot for a snack or a late-night treat on the way home. This week, we decided to try an actual full meal for delivery. I opted for the gryo lamb and beef bowl with rice as my base, the other choice was fries, but I was trying to be a bit healthy. Hubs got the full combo gyro with a Greek salad and a hefty serving of fries and rings. He had a tough time finishing it, but he prevailed! I did not finish my huge serving, so I saved half for the next day. The meats were so tender and flavorful. This will be on rotation for delivery on nights we don't want to cook! Sorry no pics :( read more

One of the worst gyros I've ever had and I've had a lot. The meat was very bland and tasted like flavored sawdust. The portion wasn't very good and they were out of numerous selections of food and the service wasn't very friendly either. Bad management all around would be my guess. read more

Great portions, food was tasty and the lady and gentleman working Sunday night were really nice, friendly and asked us how was everything. We will be coming back for sure. read more

My son has been dying to try the Gyro Spot in Salem. We finally made it there yesterday and it did not disappoint. We were greeted with kindness and enthusiasm. There was so much Feta on the Greek Fries that they must have lost money in the making. The Gyros were delicious and sized very generously!! We also shared some Baclava, which was also delicious. Hope to go back soon!!! read more

Out of the madness that was Halloween weekend in Salem, this place wasn't that busy. Walked in and got a lamb and beef gyro. Wasn't very good. Meat was dry. Couldn't really taste the lamb. Not enough tzatziki sauce. It was pretty blah. read more

Gyro Spot Salem was our go to for a quick greek dinner and decent for the price but after tonight we won't be going back. A mouse ran across the dining room floor while I was waiting for our pickup. If there's one then there's many. If this place isn't taking care of their cleanliness then I question everything else! Hopefully the health inspector visits this place ASAP! read more

Great place, clean, they give a military / veterans discount. Would recommend. Food was good and good prices.

Fantastic food and great service! The food came out fast and they have pretty big portions. Definitely would come back l. read more

I absolutely love this Gyro spot! I feel like you can't go wrong with what you choose. I've tried most of the menu, but I love the chicken Gyro. The chicken is always so tasty and the G sauce really ties everything together. Not to mention they always load the gyro up, it's massive! Definitely try the Feta fries, they load them up with so much feta! If you want a sweet treat definitely end your meal with the loukoumades. They make them fresh and they're so delicious. The customer service has always been friendly and accommodating. I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews, because I will always come back to this place. Whenever I'm in Salem I'm stopping here first! read more

I went to the counter, ordered and was told to tip! I said why you are doing The job you were hired for. Since I ordered and had to pick up the meal, bring it to my table, clean up and toss the rest in the garbage and I had to tip? She told me that she isn't making money. I felt pressured and I did tip so that no one would spit in our food! Been to other places and no one pressured me to tip at the counter. Not going back. read more

Went there Wednesday July 5, 2023 for lunch. Was told they "have no meat" No chicken No lamb No beef Oh and also ......no apology Ok, why are you open for business? First time & last time read more

I ordered the lemon soup and falafel plate and was looking forward to my meal. First, the lemon soup was orange and very, very bland. It honestly tasted like water and rice so I immediately dumped it, $8 right down the drain. Then, I wanted to mix my falafel bowl together so I could eat it with my pita so I broke apart the falafel. Upon opening the very first one I saw something blue and was thrown off and with further investigation found that it was part of a glove. I'm so disappointed in my experience. read more

I have been eating here at The Gyro Spot in Salem for a year. It is always consistent and delicious. I am a very heathy eater, so I create my own masterpiece. I get lamb, chicken and beef gyro meat in a bowl. Extra tomatoes and onions! I also need their amazing tzatziki sauce on top that is made fresh daily in house. Thank you for making Salem GREAT! by giving us this opportunity to taste a bit of authentic Greece!! read more

Wish I would have read the reviews in advance. Dry meat, dry tasteless hummus as a side order. And the wrap was mostly sauce with large chunks of meat with fat or grizzle on them. The salad came without any dressing (despite selecting Greek dressing when ordering) and was boring. Very disappointing meal. read more

The meat was shredded. Not like shredded long slices which was different to us. Definitely had allot of seasoning which I'm not used to either. Fries were great. read more

Third time here . First two times the food was decent and staff was friendly . Today however is a different story . Went in to order 4 gyros for my family . The woman who took my order was nice . There was a man as well who was very unfriendly and his clothing were filthy . He started making our gyros and put gloves on so that was good however his nasty stained sleeves were touching our food as he leaned over to retrieve the items . Gross . Then he took off his gloves and proceeded to wrap our gyros . He stopped midway to scratch his crotch and then continue wrapping the gyros . I was horrified . I came home and threw mine away . I will never come back here again . Just gross . read more

I've had takeout from the Gyro Spot several times and each time the food was excellent. I love the lamb and beef gyro, but hold the fries: I'll have those on the side, not on my gyro. The sides are incredible, and the tzatziki sauce is the freshest and most delicious I've found anywhere. Huge portions of everything , more than enough for leftovers. Highly recommended. read more

I absolutely loved the lamb and steak gyro, the sauce was excellent and the fries were decedent. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice meaty gyro. read more

WOW...all the hype and fluff but that was the driest, most tasteless, most expensive sandwich in the history of sandwiches. Such a disappointment...never again!!! read more

Twice I've ordered here, only to be told after the order was rung up and my card processed that "oh, sorry, we just ran out." Once is a mistake. Twice is a pattern. read more

The best gyro I ever had in my life . I've traveled to Italy and Greece before and this place topped it all . Even better than all the street fairs in NYC . I'm blown away , this place should have so much more traction . One of the best places in Salem . Love it read more

I usually get a chicken bowl delivered from here and every ingredient they use is always fresh and delicious! I can also say I think they have some of the best hummus out there. read more

Haven't had a gyro like this since I went to Greece! Service is great and food DELICIOUS! Right downtown with quick service. It has become a regular spot for us. read more

If you're in Salem craving a perfect gyro then you just found the right spot! The amount of flavor in this gyro gives instant satisfaction. Lamb & beef was obviously my choice of protein and the second you bite into this sandwich it's just an explosion of deliciousness. They were authentic too garnished with seasoned french fries and tzatziki that will rock your world. Plus the service was excellent and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

Great place to get quick and delicious greek food! I had the falafel rice bowl and the falafel was seasoned perfectly. The garlic feta dip is also a must. Check this place out! The workers were also so friendly read more

From some Salem locals: Great menu, great falafel, fair price. Chill and fun atmosphere.

I ordered the Falafel Gyro. Took two bites and gave the rest to the trash bucket. I should have read some reviews first.

The food was great! Jakes watermelon gazpacho was wicked good!!!! I would order that stuff again if it were regularly on the menu! Great service from Jake and the crew too!!! read more

VERY disappointing! I would the beef and lamb gyro I ordered on two occasions a negative 10 if that was an option. But first the positives. The restaurant was clean and on both occasions the two different staff members we very polite and welcoming. On both occasions I ordered the same lamb/beef gyro. On the second occasion I requested the fries not to be put in the gyro and the order was received as ordered. The food... where do I start... the meat was so dry and crusty every bite was a struggle. The sauce was watered down with no taste. To top off this lunch disaster the fries were stone cold! Well I tried twice... never again! read more

Love Gyros. Was very excited to try this place. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Beef and Lamb Gyro had no seasoning or flavor. It included seasoned fries. That amounted to 5/6 FF thrown on the sandwich. All for $14. For a Gyro! I can go down the street and get one for half that price. Not as authentic maybe, but tastes good. I'm not here to hurt anyone's business, but this was bad enough for me to take the time to post. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. They need to do better, IMO. read more

Not sure what the hype is about this place!!! Ordered 2 times from here, both chicken gyros, one showed up as pork gyro which was the driest meat I've ever had, I ended up throwing the whole thing away. Messaged them to let them know I got the wrong item, sent me a gift card so I could try again. Go to try again with the gift card and there's a zero balance on gift card! Messaged again about gift card - no response (still). Still tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and ordered again. Ordered another chicken gyro - NOT GOOD!!!! Meat was so fatty, looked undercooked and red to me, I started getting sick while eating it....Probably the worst gyro I've ever eaten - which my husband and I eat them a lot.... read more
