Famous Gyro George

During a health crisis and having been at the Hospital for days, we stopped by Gyro George, against my will, to have breakfast. Now the inside is still a little dated, but the breakfast was outstanding. Very economical, and well prepared. The home fries with onion were beyond great, eggs cooked to order. Because this was so good, we are updating our review.

It has been almost two years since we first posted and they have done some work with the cooking.

And while I was here, staff From Gallucci's were ordering breakfast. That says something!

The food was great the service was even better however the price was a little high for gyros and fries.

I used to hate gyros.

Then I visited Famous George's.

Now I love gyros.

The gyros are damn good and cheap. They serve some other stuff too (breakfast and chicken tenders and random stuff) but the gyros are king. The only thing I wish they'd do a little differently are the fries. A little too soggy and greasy for my taste. Other than that, Famous George's is awesome.

the worst gyro I ever had and for mother's day? really? how do you NOT have feta cheese and call yourself Greek? what the hell!

I ate off the truck on Euclid. Everything was really good, fresh, and inexpensive. Jumbo Gyro and fries. Nice and greasy but not the bad kind of greasy.

Famous Gyro George is a place that I have gone by a few times without thinking twice about it. I was with a friend and the subject of how amazing breakfast was came up and I remembered about this place. Thanks god I did. The place might look a little shabby on the outside, but the inside is very nice and has that diner feel. We were immediately were greeted by a very nice lady. We ordered breakfast and sat down. She talked to us while we were waiting for our food and despite paying ahead at the counter, she served us water at our table. I got my breakfast before my friend and as soon as a I smelled it I couldn't wait till my friend got his. The hash browns with onions were incredible and the eggs and sausage were cooked to perfection. It was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. The total price for three eggs, three sausages, texas toast, and hash browns with onions? $4.70. An incredible deal. I'm definitely coming back sometime soon to try out their gyros and other foods.

The owners are really nice and the gyro meat and pitas are good so I hate that I can't give a better rating. But the sauce is truly awful. It's not at all authentic: it has a gelatinous look and feel and a bland taste. It's as if they use cheap yogurt containing gelatin instead of authentic Greek yogurt. Very disappointing.
