It's Saturday have some fun.
Back in the day it was Bayville NY.
They used the red sauce.
Dallas Airport had one once was great
Re: that picture
I have never seen french fries in a gyro, and I devoutly hope I never will.
“The Greek wrap”
Around here the best ones are made by Syrians, not Greeks.
Back in my day, it was a tossup for best gyros between Litton and Honeywell. Oh, wait...
Their list (for those opting not to click through; listed in order of appearance, though not numbered. Comments are mine):
Pepperjack Gyro / Glory Bound Byro Co., Tuscaloosa MISS. (Adds bacon and pepperjack cheese... looks like some alternative on sauce close to Thousand Island dressing... looks like it has possibilities).
Classic Gyro / Parthenon Gyro, Madison WI.
(big sandwich, lots of onion and tomato. Can’t go wrong here. Photo almost looks the part of a Chicago-style hotdog).
The Titan / Loops, Columbus, OH.
(Uses chopped port shoulder ... said to be akin to original Gyros. Big sandwich w/lettuce, tomato, onion, tzatziki.)
Housemade Greek Gyro / Charcoal Flame Grill - Morton Grove, ILL.
(Another port shoulder entry... has a thick bacon quality to it.)
Lamb&Beef Gyro Pita / King Souvlaki, NYCity
(This is the french fry option. Surely there’s something better in NYC?)
Gyro Sandwich / Niko Niko, Houston TX
(Highly ranked restaurant, but gyro looks average. Maybe tastes better?)
Gyro / Pap Cristo’s, Los Angeles CA
(I understand: writers of these kinds of articles want to make sure they include somebody from every region. But the look of this one doesn’t inspire me at all. Again: surely there’s a better option in this state).
My Big Fat Gyro / Yassou Greek Grill Cafe, Las Vegas NV
(Big pita, big toppings, including Feta... no pic).
Our Famous Gyro Pita / The Big Greek Cafe, Washington DC
(Food truck with maybe 5 locations?... adds feta and pepperoncini.)
Chicken Gyro / Uncle Gussy’s, NYCity
(Food truck. Grilled chicken with the usual toppings on it).
Lake St. & Lyndale Av. in Mpls. had a restaurant named “It’s Greek to Me”
Best Gyros ever!
In the good old days, when local concessionaires served their food at airshows, the El Centro airshow had a Greek roach coach had the best gyro I have ever tasted.
I love Greek diners. Gyros and Slouvake? Not at all.
Sperry Mark 14... Best there ever was.

“the best of” anything when it comes to food is utterly subjective to the pallet of the writer.
I can vouch for the Big Greek Cafe. I'm a real fan.
Why are you posting 2 year old article?
I thought this was going to be about gyroscopes, not food.
never mind
been to loops in columbus ohio,very sub par,any street guy with a cart does better
Actually it is pronounced as: yee row by the Greeks. The best ones have feta cheese as well. Frisco's in D.C. made the best I have ever tasted.
I wish I had one right now. 🙂👍
For Greek cuisine, it’s pastitsio. Delicious! Need to try to make it again.
I like gyros a lot, but not that white stuff they slime them with.
The best gyro I ever had was made with horse meat.
I didn’t know it when I ate it, but the Parisians have had a taste for horse ever since the 1789 revolution. Afterwards, the French aristocracy gave up horseback riding because they found it hard to see where they were going without their heads. And instead of turning all of their aristocratic horses into beasts of burden, the revolting Froggies killed and butchered and ate them.
So it got to be “a thing” with the Parisians. And gyros is still one of the things commonly made from horse.
I went back to the same gyro shop a few years later, after I’d learned they were made from horse, and they still were every bit as tasty.
Arbys!
just kidding
