Looking for Gyros

[baustgen]

Anyone know where locally to get real Gyros sliced off a rotating spit? The lunchmeat sliced Gyros is not cutting it.

It's all Greek to me. Great place up at Seaside Park NJ but not sure if they spit or not :) but they were good. I would taste the onions for a week. Check this link out: Gyro King - Greek Restaurant in EUSTIS (https://gyro-king-greek-restaurant.business.site/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=referral) Or this link: gyro grill (https://gyrogrillocala.com/) Or this one (seems closer): real greek gyros near me - Google Search (https://www.google.com/search?q=real%20greek%20gyros%20near%20me&oq=real+greek+gyros+near+me&aqs=chrome..69i57.5797j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&tbs=lrf:!1m4!1u3!2m2!3m1!1e1!1m4!1u2!2m2!2m1!1e1!1 m4!1u1!2m2!1m1!1e1!1m4!1u1!2m2!1m1!1e2!1m4!1u16!2m 2!16m1!1e1!1m4!1u16!2m2!16m1!1e2!1m4!1u22!2m2!21m1 !1e1!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e16!2m1!1e1!2m1!1e3!3sIAE,lf:1,l f_ui:9&tbm=lcl&sxsrf=AOaemvLrVdY2OA0iXsEMhL-0w07WYc5YqA:1637798845966&rflfq=1&num=10&rldimm=2243323823295781026&lqi=ChhyZWFsIGdyZWVrIGd5cm9zIG5lYXIgbWUiA5ABAUjjkZ zK5YCAgAhaJBAAEAEQAhgBGAIiGHJlYWwgZ3JlZWsgZ3lyb3Mg bmVhciBtZZIBEGdyZWVrX3Jlc3RhdXJhbnSaASNDaFpEU1VoTk 1HOW5TMFZKUTBGblNVTkJOVkJxVFZwUkVBRaoBGAoJL20vMDF5 MjhnEAEqCSIFZ3lyb3MoAA&phdesc=UPSp4Ztndp4&ved=2ahUKEwi_i7WTnLL0AhV7QzABHUwjD6QQvS56BAgnEGA&rlst=f#rlfi=hd:;si:7805260985049055616,l,ChhyZWFsI GdyZWVrIGd5cm9zIG5lYXIgbWUiA5ABAUjMq9nd6YCAgAhaIBA AEAEQAiIYcmVhbCBncmVlayBneXJvcyBuZWFyIG1lkgEQcGl6e mFfcmVzdGF1cmFudJoBI0NoWkRTVWhOTUc5blMwVkpRMEZuU1V OdmVtSnRhMXAzRUFFqgEYCgkvbS8wMXkyOGcQASoJIgVneXJvc ygA,y,hhHySQrZ5oA;mv:)[[29.2400211,-81.306214],[28.431424399999997,-82.2728655]]

Takis Deli in Leesburg has Gyros on the menu. My preference is pork souvlaki.

[Papa_lecki]

I was going to say Takis too. Depending on where you are in TV, about 20 min

Nope, not the real Gyro meat off the spit. They used the packaged pre-sliced stuff...

[baustgen]

Thanks. Got two places to try..Takis= sliced lunchmeat.

[Chi-Town]

Tarpon Springs is all I know where they slice the meat off of a vertical spit.

I asked the same thing I did get Publix (Colony) to stock Gyro kits in the Deli Dept. I am trying to get them to sell Gyro meat in bulk the more that ask may turn the corner

[asiebel]

We like Taki's on 27/441. Just past Cracker Barrel.

Please let us know what you find!

They're better than Takis, but they also use the pre-sliced packaged meat...

[Jpressley]

In a plastic package

[Foxtrot]

Great Chicago Fire Brewery in Leesburg does a great Gyros. Best one i've had in Florida, just like in Chicago. They import everything from Chicago. They do a Chicago Hot Dog and Chicago thin crust pizza. And they make their own beer.

[dadspet]

We really like sliced meat off a Spit gyros (NY City) but for lack of that we just like Gyros. Now I don't want to be hung up or shot but we really like Arbys Gyros - very reasonable, good fries and as good or better then many. Give them a try!

BTW don't know if you've been to Greece but on a previous trip several years ago to a friends house who previously lived in the US but moved back to Athens Greece we told her we couldn't find Gyros in Greece and she told us they didn't know what they were and finally had to go to a place where she explained what a Gyro was before they finally came up with them. Interesting not sure if its still that way but would like to know if any other visitors to Greece were able to find a Gyro?

You asked for it !!!! :1rotfl:

Arby's famous slogan: "Arby's we've got the meat (or some unknown substance with similar physical characteristics)" Actually, their roast beef like sliced material is decent and the curly fries are good. Kinda like the Taco Bell of beef.

As Jon Stewart once said: Arby's: "Still making sandwiches filled with sliced something."

I had a great one in the street market in Athens (in the shadow of the Parthenon)...

And that was 30 lbs heavier!

A guide to ordering "gyros" in Greece (https://www.itinari.com/a-guide-to-ordering-gyros-in-greece-xfr8)

I had a few Gyros from Arby's. They are OK.

[Lil GTO]

Can’t speak to the whole list but Takis uses the sliced gyro (pronounced Yeero) meat.

Call some of those on the list before you go. It’s my opinion that gyros aren’t a fast selling item here and that would leave a lot of meat wasting on the spit each day hence the refrigerated sliced style so the can use as the have need.

I expect those places with Gyro in their name would turn enough sandwiches to have the spit turning and shaving the fresh Lamb.

It's all Greek to me. Great place up at Seaside Park NJ but not sure if they spit or not :) but they were good. I would taste the onions for a week.

Mediterranean Deli..orlando

[Kgcetm]

Chicago Fire in Leesburg. Kronos Gyros, Vienna Hot Dogs, Pizza and roast beef sandwiches. On Magnolia one block off the square.

[jim32]

The best place I have found for Gyros is The Gyro Grill in Ocala. They have lamb & beef or chicken gyros in addition to a few other Mediterranean dishes. You can check out their website at https://gyrogrillocala.com; the owner was very friendly and I thought the gyros were good, but I have not tried other places in Ocala. They're on SRT 200 in Ocala, a few miles west of I75. Small place and not fancy.

[jenreed]

tried Amerikano's restaurant? they have excellent gyros!
But they are not carved off of the spit. They are lunchmeat slices as well.

[Rsenholzi]

If you don’t mind going to Altamonte Springs ( an hour away) , in the food court in the mall , there is a place called Mediterranean. They have meat off the spit. Gyros are $10 with a salad and soda. They are excellent.

The place is a great choice. Excellent gyro, Chicago dog, thin crust pizza, and
Italian beef.

Agreed.

And very generous portions, even for lunch.

[davem4616]

Evan's Prairie is advertising gyros today.... certainly not what you'd get in Greece, but might be worth a try
