5As is a Greek/Palestinian restaurant just north of Kroger on HWY 53 and it's fantastic, named…read moreafter the family of 5 that own it. Best Gyro in Huntsville/Madison county. Their selection is really nice from lamb/beef or chicken gyro to eggplant stew. They have platters and salads and french fries too. Their apps are great especially the cumber salad ( like tzatziki) and hummus and babaganoush. Most things come with pita bread. Their baklava is excellent. Many people order takeout but eating is pleasant with the Greek decor. Everything is made to order as you watch. Please visit this small family owned restaurant. Their only drawback is every thing is served on disposable dishes. But I give them a break on that cuz it's a small operation with no time for washing dishes. Oh, they are closed Sunday-Tuesday.

We stopped by 5A's Restaurant on our way from Ardmore to Huntsville. A co-worker recommended this…read morerestaurant and we decided to get takeout. I know my way around Greek and Persian restaurants and was excited to try out the foods. We ordered Classic Gyros, fries, Greek salad, Eggplant Stew (Khoresh Bademjan), and Chicken Kabob (Kabob Koobideh Morgh) at the counter. The man behind the counter was curt with customers. He had a regular that he told to sit down when the man came inside for his to go order. I say regular because when his to go order was ready they chatted for a few minutes about personal business. The restaurant was not full when we arrived. There were 5 customers waiting for food when we placed our to go order. 45 minutes later when we left there were 4 customers waiting for food. I noticed an employee walk to the restrooms with a phone in hand. Phones aren't sterile and coming back from the restroom the employee was on the phone. I couldn't see from my vantage point whether employees were wearing gloves. The man who took orders handled credit cards and money and then touched drink cups by the rim. I am sure this happens all the time. I don't see employees with phones and the person taking orders and handling money most of the time so when I see hands touching money or cards and then the drink cup rims my brain says to ask for a clean cup. We did not order drinks to go. Now to the food. Gyros and fries were ok. The pitas weren't toasted so the tzatziki sauce made the pitas squishy. I could not taste the gyro meat as the portion was small. The Greek Salad and dressing was average. Eggplant stew with rice and salad was good and had more cinnamon than I am accustomed to. The chicken kabob came with basmati rice and salad and it was good. This restaurant is between Huntsville and Ardmore. They serve a variety of foods and have a loyal following. We will stop by again to try out other foods. It could have been an off day. For the money the portion sizes are small. If there were more meat in the gyros and more salad in the to go box I would have considered another star.
