Parking: there is enough parking to where I was able to park directly in front. As I have mentioned before this is a big plus with me. Especially today as the temperature was in the low fifties and the wind was gusting over thirty miles an hour.

Service: This is one of those walk up to the counter places so being waited on is not an option. However the guy behind the counter was knowledgeable and very polite. We had a beef gyro and split it between us as well as an order of Mediterranean Potatoes.

The Food: The food was wonderful. A gyro is something like a taco or burrito, food in a bread-like wrapper. This one had beef, onion, tomato and some good spices with a bit of sour cream. I added some red pepper for a little extra heat. We were the first customers of the day, not usually a good idea if you want fast service. But we were served before we could drink our coffee. This is FAST in a sit down place. I did not care for the coffee, but it was very hot and very fresh. I did not dislike it enough to not drink it all. Usually if I really do not like the coffee I leave it. I drank all of this so it was not horrible just unfamiliar.

Prices: Very good indeed, Hoppy and I both ate for less than $10.

Atmosphere: Very friendly place, the servers and other people in the place were very polite and friendly.

This is one of those, "If we are in the area-this is where we will go to eat" places

Hoppy: Well, this is a rare moment. I think Jake has covered all the areas very well and I can’t think of a thing to add to it. Except, to say that I LOVED the coffee. It was smooth and left no bitter taste in the mouth.

The tables and chairs were very clean, everything had that quiet clean look…ready for the crowds to arrive.

The food was fresh, hot, superbly seasoned and made me wish I had a larger tummy so I could eat more of it. I’d not had a gyro before and if this is an example of what they are, then they deserve more publicity. The one Jake and I shared was oh, so wonderful. I liked it so much that I am conniving to see how I can get us back into that area so we can have another gyro. Yummy!

Until next time….happy eatin’!
