The Original Gyro 3611 Library Road, Castle Shannon, PA 15234

"I got the Gyro it was amazing and all the food we tried was hot and fresh and portions were big. My only regret is not coming here sooner.. we also tried the chicken bowl with rice. I couldn't believe how flavorful and moist the chicken was. Will absolutely be back."

"I was stuck in traffic and crawling when I saw their sign. Knowing that I was going to want to eat before I got to my destination and not having had Gyros in a while, I decided to stop in and try them out. The place is highly utilitarian as you can see from the interior picture. It is mostly set up for takeout service but they do have four table that you can sit and eat at, if you wish. Since I wanted to let the traffic rush die down, I elected to sit and eat in place. I gave my order to the harried teenager - who was also answering the phones and doing something in the kitchen - and sat down to wait. This is clearly a family run operation as besides the young woman who took my order, there was an older woman (mother?) and an older young man (older brother?) who were both working behind the kitchen counter. There was a steady stream of orders coming in via phone orders, and they must have some sort of app ordering as well. I saw people coming in for pickup of various types - including delivery services. Aside from me, there was only one other couple who chose to each in the place. When my food was delivered, it was piping hot and fresh. The fresh cut fries were just the way I like them, but they did not salt them, and I did not see salt packets or a shaker on the table. There was some sort of spice shaker there and I tried it, but I think it was paprika. The gyro itself was a nice portion and had shredded lettuce, onions, and some sort of creamy dressing on it. I would have preferred a stronger flavored creamy dressing, but that's not their style apparently. Overall, it was a great value at less than $12 for the whole meal, but not the best Gyro in the area. The meat was the same as you can get elsewhere, it's the overall package that was lacking. That, and the utter lack of charm, are the reasons for the three star rating."

"Best gyro in the area hands down. Really awesome food here and the prices aren't that bad. Got the special, which had a gyro, fries, and a soda, for $10. Great food. Really friendly staff, awesome lunch spot."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SO DELICIOUS!!! The gyros are enormous, the meat is so tender and incredibly tasty. The fries were fresh cut, the cucumber sauce was fabulous; everything was so fresh! Great service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place! I honestly can’t say enough pleasantries.. Overall, very impressed and my tastebuds are doing their happy dance. We will absolutely be coming back!"

"The most amazing gyros in town! I couldn’t believe that you get a huge gyro, fries, and a drink for just under $8. The fries are freshly cut potatoes (you can see the bucket of fresh potatoes waiting to be made into fries on the counter), and they have “fry dust” on the tables which is an amazing spice blend. Everything is amazingly delicious, and the staff is so friendly."
