Great food & well priced. Order was ready when I arrived to pick it up. Will definitely return for another take-out dinner!

The restaurant is in a low traffic area and seems to do decent with takeout. I haven't seen anyone sit down yet each time I went. Restaurant looks pretty clean and full of space. The folk working here are pretty nice. Portion sizes are either lunch or dinner size for your platters. Even the lunch size is a good size portion enough for one person. The dinner size is enough for two people. When we ordered the lunch size for gyro, we had a choice of either a salad or a soup for the first side which is separate from the gyro and there is a second side that goes along with the gyro, so you can pick one of the following fries, rice, lemon potatoes or grilled vegetables. The container is filled about 80% full with grilled pita. When we ordered the dinner size for gyro, its the same as lunch but you can pick two of the sides that go along the gyro. This is effectively filling your container all the way to the top at 100% filled with grilled pita. Recently it appears they increased this to up to three sides, but I imagine they will just reduce the portion size of each side if you pick three but would still fill the container full. The Greek salad is good and the soups we tried were also good. The gyros and chicken souvlaki were on point.

Fresh, yummy food in large portions! The bf and I split the chicken souvlaki dinner that comes with a Greek salad. The service was excellent - they brought our food to us outside. It was plenty for us to share and the outside eating area had a charming ambiance. There's parking on the side of the building. Will definitely be coming back!

Solid Gyro establishment. Came in for dinner and the restaurant was nice and clean, with a TV in the dining area playing CNN. Was there around 630pm Wednesday night and it looked like the owners were busy making takeout orders. Service was attentive once I got their attention though. I ordered a combo platter for myself thinking the price was a little steep, but I didn't expect it to get so much food. One combo platter will run you around $25, but there is enough food for two people. Parking is available on the side of the restaurant for curbside pick up and they also have two tables for seating outside. The main road the restaurant is located on can get pretty busy sometimes so take care when you are close to the restaurant so as to not drive past it. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you feel like some well made gyro and want some quality and quality of food for the price.

Truly amazing little spot, Your order at the counter, many items on the menu, let me start with the staff very friendly, very polite. Just like all the other comments, Island Gyro. have some good people working there. food was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised the food is just as good as a high-end Greek Resturant, I didn't expect this kind of food from a simple Gyro souvlaki Place,, they give you plenty of tzatziki sauce, lol, spinach pie was outstanding calamari, very crispy, I love the lemon soup it really had a nice strong, lemon taste. Very good onion rings the lemon potatoes were delicious the chicken Gyro was very good the way I like it strips, the pork sticks, shrimp, sticks, lamb sticks were outstanding, they give you huge portions for the price, everything had just the right amount of spice And herbs, there's a parking lot on the side of the building, I really enjoyed my experience. It will definitely be back soon when I'm in the neighborhood.

I was around the neighborhood yesterday and it was dinner time, landed at this gyro spot! It was very pleasant from the cashier being super nice and the chef doing an amazing job with the food! Only thing that hurt me but still not enough for then a 5star review was the potato's, they were very sour so be careful with those lol. The gyro was warm and fresh, the white sauce spot on! Hot sauce delicious. Plenty of seating available and outside seating available too. Private parking available and also street parking available. I'd highly recommend this place!

Nice Greek spot, limited seating, they are very busy at times, waitress is very accommodating, we had a great dinner experience, food was better than expected, would definitely come back.

I was just there before closing . I've ordered from them before and it was phenomenal , today I had pieces of hard chicken (old maybe ) unkn but I've never experienced that , the young lady assisting ppl was young and pleasant ,I can't blame her bc she's not cooking, but I was disappointed w/the chunks of hard chicken , I threw it out . I'll still go back and give them another try , I think they're new owners as I've didn't know them .

I ordered again from here the other day. I ordered the pork souvlaki sandwich and a lamb souvlaki sandwich both with tzatziki. I liked the pork better than the lamb. The lamb seemed a tad overcooked for my liking but it was still tasty. The sandwiches had large portions of meat and were reasonably priced. My meal was prepared quickly and ready for pickup.

Order one of the family meals here and the portions were humongous. Nicely packaged and the entire family enjoyed it, we had leftovers for the next day and probably a few days after that. Service was awesome, arrived there to pickup a bit early and food came out fast and hot. Don't know the woman's name was she was as helpful as can be.

We ordered take out from here for the first time and the food was pretty good. Gyro platter and chicken gyro platter came with a salad and the portions were huge. We would order from here again.
