My brother and I popped in to George's after a long day of disc golf. We arrived just before closing and I fully expected the staff to be ready to leave and the food to be what they were using up before closing for the night. I was completely wrong. The kind man at the counter provided us with his recommendations and told us to stay as long as we needed. We found a seat and waited patiently. This place is clean and decorated nicely. A casual environment. The food was very fresh and it was the best gyro I've ever had hands down. The fries were fresh and amazing also. I admit I did not eat many of the fries because the gyro was enormous and delicious. We went with the picado gyro. Simply delicious. A kick of heat with the jalapeño, the peppers and onions were fresh and the thin sliced melt in your mouth gyro meat piled high. The tzatziki sauce was flavorful and fresh made. What can I say. It was the best gyro I've ever had. The menu is great and I'm tempted to try something else next time as everything looked delicious. Very fair prices, too notch customer service and some of the best food you will ever have. Give George's a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

The food is good dont get me wrong. But there was a phone in the girls restroom recording. Yelp has now emailed me saying I need to be cautious of legal ramifications of my review. This is a true statement, I was in the bathroom right before the phone was found which belonged to an employee of George's and the cook was taken away in handcuffs. There is a police report. This occurred in May 2024 read more

I truly adore Mediterranean food--there's something special about it. George's Famous Gyro really hits the spot. It was so delicious--fresh and bursting with flavor. I was genuinely impressed. Highly recommended for anyone craving comfort and authenticity. read more

Hidden behind Starbucks, this place is a gem. The chicken pita was delicious. It had lots of chicken meat and the balsamic was perfect sauce. The gyro stir-fry was so fresh and yummy. The rice was perfect balance to the salty flavor of gyro. Portions were big even without the added salad or fries. Staff were friendly and dining room was very comfy. Highly recommend!! read more

It saddens me to say this because George's has been a favorite of mine, but my recent pickup order missed the mark. Two chicken pita sandwiches with a side of yellow rice came to $30, which felt a little pricey, I get it inflation but the real issue was the food and service. The chicken pitas were just ok, lacking the flavor I've come to expect. On top of that, the person at the counter seemed pretty disengaged there was no usual friendly interaction. I'm hoping this was just an off day for the team at George's, but it does leave me questioning whether I'll be coming back anytime soon. read more

Traveling on Vacation. We were looking for a lite lunch spot. Of course I checked my Yelp and found this absolute gem. At first glance it reads fast food due to how fast food was coming out , but the menu board was huge. The owner was up front and was so personable. We ordered Gyros and Greek salad. This was the most flavorful and fresh food. Warm pita , generous servings and that sauce. Come and enjoy the best Greek food we've had in years read more

We had just arrived to the area and we were looking for a quick, tasty, good dinner. We love non-chain restaurants so this one looked promising. We also read the reviews and thought we would take a chance. When we walked in you could see/feel the homey atmosphere. Good vibes. Hubby and I both ordered the gyro plate with a Greek salad. The portions were huge! The salad was chopped lettuce with lots of veggies, feta, and 2 pitted olives. I thought it was very tasty. The gyro was just okay...Growing up with many Greeks I was used to a more flavorful meat. There was plenty of it and the pita was soft and large. Unfortunately, within an hour of getting back to our overnight spot I became very sick. I spent time in the bathroom (won't go into the details but pretty sure you get "it"). I feel better this morning but very disappointed. Hopefully, it was a fluke and no one else was sick today. Very nice owner and atmosphere. read more

George's Famous Gyros & Pasta - Gyro pita with Greek salad - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

5/5 on service 5/5 on cleanliness 5/5 on food/taste 5/5 on quality Here we are again at a Mediterranean restaurant! LOL.. I don't live anywhere near this part of town, so I wasn't sure I'd ever try it but something brought me over this way so my son and I gave it a shot. We walked into a small cozy restaurant, with a large digital menu. They also have handheld menus at the register, and it is HUGE. There are so many selections which can make it hard if haven't been here before. I highly recommend looking at their menu online prior to your arrival. Since we are regulars at Mediterranean restaurants, we usually get a platter and a side of Greek fries. Their platter offers, protein of your choice, rice or fries, two pitas, two sides of tzatziki, and a Greek or Caesar salad. Like most platters we have had this one did not come with hummus. I wish it had but it's so much food already we likely would haven't eaten all of it. We ordered the platter with steak and chicken, Greek fries and Caesar salad. We ordered it to go but planned to eat it there but figured we would have leftovers. It came out pretty quickly and as expected it was a lot of food! The guy that brought it to us asked if we wanted plates and checked in with us later to see how it was. The food was fantastic! My son said the steak was the best he has ever had. The chicken was juicy and flavor too! The Greek fries were bomb! They were topped with feta and we think a sauce but couldn't determine if it was that or the juices from the meat, either way it was SO good! The pita was thick and soft but neither of us at it unfortunately. We chowed down the protein and fries first and had no room for the pita or salad. I had planned to take the salad home and eat it later but the appointment we had after lunch went long and my salad was no good after sitting in the hot car too long. Bummer! I am sure it was amazing too! Something else to point out, this place is CLEAN! Super clean! Clean bathrooms (which dirty bathrooms at a restaurant is a pet peeve of mine and not okay in my book). The gentleman at the register that helped us went around wiping tables which was nice to see because all too often at fast casual restaurants you find yourself at dirty tables. Though I would love to come back here I don't see it happening often since I don't live out this way however my son will be in this area frequently for his Marine Corp pre boot camp conditioning, so he said he sees himself and his friends hitting this place a lot. read more

I also got the garlic cheese bites today and those were yummy! I love the service here and the ambiance. Always a good time when I stop by everyone is so sweet and kind! Thank you!! read more

I wouldn't have guessed from the outside how good the gyro would be but wow it was delicious. The standard gyro was a generous portion, the lamb meat perfectly seasoned and good, the tzatziki sauce just right! They have both indoor and outdoor seating available, and the staff was so great. Lots of other options too for picky eaters who only want a pizza or burger (my nephew loves their cheese pizza!). read more

If you love garlic come on over! I love me some garlic and this place hit the spot, i might need a map on my lunch break now but i found my new spot. Theo's pasta was great, thin spaghetti pasta with chunks of mozzarella which melts with the heat from the pasta (AWESOME!) the pesto was on point with just the right amount (see below for secret menu). Greek salad was fresh and a good size to not over do myself. Come visit George's and say hi to the man himself George! Secret menu- Greek fry's to dip into your pesto sauce my plate had enough to dip my fry's in and it changed my meal! read more

Very good. I've gotten most of the pastas and the Greek gyro and phenomenal. The pastas are all good. I usually get the vodka pasta with breaded chicken. Although once I had burnt chicken but still tasted okay except for the burntness. Service is fine and all nice. The restaurant is a very friendly atmosphere and it's all very good. The gyro is great. I like the lamb ones and the feta on it. And they like PACK the meat in it. It's almost too big to eat read more

One person in my party placed an order online and I placed an order in person, both super quick and easy! We were greeted when we walked in and the employees were nice and helpful. I got the buffalo cauliflower bites and they came out in less than 10 minutes from time of order. The Gyro is a large portion, filled with meat and comes with salad and fries. They were very quick to get everything out and there is lots of seating inside. Great for a quick lunch during work or a quick bite! read more

for a small local restaurant, the owner puts such pride in his food and the place itself. It's very impressive are the little touches he does like shaved Parmesan on his food. eaten there many times and never a bad choice. read more

Wow, it is like stepping back into a typical gyro place in Athens! And the smells emanating from the kitchen are enough to make you want to order everything on the menu! The spot is small but with plenty of seats and even a bar stool area and outside seating. They have a menu along the wall with a ton of options, and the host was also great about giving me some good selections. You order at the counter and they bring it to the table so very fast casual. My friends had never had Greek food before so they tried a Greek salad with chicken and fettuccine with chicken. I had the traditional gyro which comes either a side of either fries or salad. It takes a bit to make the meals and the host told us everything is cut fresh that day and made that day. It is evident! The portions were huge and I could t stop smiling as I ate. My friends said it was the best salad they have ever had! If you haven't been here then stop and go right now as you will not regret it. Melts in your mouth and obvious the care for the food. The family is Greek and they take pride in their food. Delicious!! I want to go get more right now! read more

Hair in my salad. Yikes! :( The owner gets defensive on here instead of trying to improve. I have responded to your message, improving would mean staff wearing hair nets so that hair doesn't get into the food. Also, double checking orders so that extra items ordered, ie: sauce, in which you charge extra for, is included. You know, common sense stuff. read more

One of the best gyros I've ever had! I had a friend in town who is Greek who also gave George's Famous Gyros her stamp of approval, so you know they are good!! Great portion size and the gyro came with a small side of Greek salad. Delicious flavors and perfectly cooked. We ordered to go and it was made quickly and still tasted hot and fresh when we got home. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for some delicious Greek food! read more

What can I say about this place that hasn't already been said? Wowza! I agree, majority definitely rules on this one when they say by far the BEST Gyros and Greek food in AZ! I am a huge fan of Greek food as is my boyfriend. Last night my boyfriend was in the area and decided to place an order togo. He got a chicken plate and I had him order me the pick 2 plate (I wanted to sample a couple items haha). I got Gyro and Falafels, with rice. I'm no expert by any means, however, I have tasted and consumed MANY falafel in my 42 years on this great earth and I can confidently say, these were the best I've ever had! Crunchy outside; soft, dense delicious inside. They were perfectly seasoned. The spices were pronounced yet not over powering and lingering. The Gyro was soft, flavorful and delicious, getting better as I took each bite. Omg, and can we talk about the Tzatziki?? Thick, yet creamy. Smooth yet a bit of chunks! Flavor, out of this world!! 100%, 10 out of 10 exactly how it should be. And they give you 2! It's like they already know you're going to druel while eating it and most definitely want more. I've been to places and asked for more sauce to help wash down the meal. If this wasn't a togo order I would have asked to purchase a gallon just so I could drink it. OK, maybe not drink it, however I guarantee I have numerous items in my fridge I could put it on! All in all, I can't say enough great things about this place. I can't wait to go back and dine in. If take out (15+ minute drive) was this delicious, I can just imagine how it is, in house. 10 stars and I will certainly be making this my go to for Greek from now on!! P.S. The portions are BIG, you'll have left overs. I NEVER eat leftovers and my boyfriend even told me to throw it away because it would end up in the garbage in a few days anyway. Guess what?? I ATE THE LEFTOVERS!! Microwaved and still delicious!!!! Oh and my boyfriend loved his meal also. read more

Food is super solid, best stuff in the north valley. Owner has an alt-right vibe but damn he runs a solid place.

Been meaning to try this place for a while I don't know why I waited this long... the food was amazing the gyros are delicious. The salad is delicious ,friendly service is quick,food is piping hot , the place is super clean. What more could you ask for amazing food clean and good prices they've got the winning combo I understand why there are 4.7 stars ...I will be back a lot. read more

We eat here all the time. We have tried so many different things and it's all good. I do get the chicken or pork plate the most. It comes with the meat, lots of rice, tomatoes, onions, garlic sauce, pita and a side Greek salad. Enough for another meal with leftovers the next day. Highly recommend. read more

Overall rating: 3.5/5 Wait: 4/5 Arrival time: Wednesday 5pm Food: 3.5/5 Order: porky Athens with Caesar salad, burger single with Greek fries Service: n/a Price: 3.5/5 Meh, would come back to give it another chance George's Famous Gyros & Pasta presents a conundrum wrapped in a pita. On one hand, the porky Athens whispers of the Mediterranean breeze with a side of Caesar salad. The burger single stands as a testament to simplicity, accompanied by Greek fries that were notably absent, leaving one to ponder the potential of a perfect pairing. The service remains an enigma, while the pricing suggests a history of value. In the end, one might say George's is akin to a mythical labyrinth--worth exploring at least once, but whether you'll return to unravel its mysteries further is a tale yet to be told. read more

Favorite gyro in town! Good people always nice and clean inside and one heck of a menu

They have everything! From burgers, hummus, chicken sandwich, wraps, onion rings! Perfect for the whole family. I'm glad we stopped by. Very friendly service restaurant has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's clean with fun decor. An expensive menu that also offers a vegan friendly foods like their fried cauliflower wrap. Hummus was really good. Family enjoyed their burgers and chicken sandwich. Onion rings were a hit as well. Price was in line for what we ordered. We left very happy. read more

Nice restaurant, very clean inside - fast, friendly staff and AMAZING food. I had the gyro and fries and everything was perfect.

I've been here several times now over the last few months. The food is always good. George is funny, quirky. Always had good service.

Talk about a hole-in-the-wall gem, this place is tucked in the corner of a small strip center between FedEx & Pizza Hut. I saw it a few weeks ago and just today gave it a try. I am sad it took me this long. The menu is expansive. My wife and I tried a Reuben sandwich with fries and chicken parmigiana and pasta dinner. We also had to try the gyro meat, asking for a side of same. We got a large plate full of deliciousness. The food was amazingly delicious, priced well with generous portions. Will absolutely add this to my regular stops for lunch. Note: Saturday is lunch only and they are closed Sundays. read more

good but a little to dry for me. Portions are big. Tzatziki was good wish a lot of dill, rice was tasty

Terrible falafel and terrible lunch. All 9 falafel balls were chewy and inedible and rather disgusting. They might have been leftovers from days ago, but either way,I had to toss them. Side Salad was ok, but otherwise a waste of 10 bucks. read more

Great meal and unbeatable customer service!! Food was quick & the owner took our order with no rush despite it being busy. 10/10 recommend.

We had gyro sandwich and fries. Best around. The taziki is what I craved. Visiting from Indiana and George's is a must stops. Inside is quaint and looks remodeled. Really who cares because it's all about the food read more

Stopped in as I was at a work training and did not bring lunch. I ordered the gyro stir fry which came with a side salad and toast. The salad was so fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed the meal but wished it would have came with sauce on the side, like taziki. That would kick it up a notch. I also enjoyed the toast but this is easy to judge because I LOVE bread. Would go back and try other things on the menu. Service was fast and the spot was clean. read more

Well, not as good this time. Got chicken alfredo. It was pretty good at first but they apparently didn't strain the water well enough so after I stirred it up, it got really runny and watered down so the sauce lost its flavor. The chicken had a nice grill flavor to it though. read more
