    Döner

    It's not a solid but damn close. The Döner was one of the best I'd had since Germany. Serving Fanta was nice touch too.

    The döner was fresh, flavorful, and the bread was perfectly toasted with a nice crunch. Customer service was excellent!

    Great experience at GDK. The döner was fresh, flavorful, and the bread was perfectly toasted with a nice crunch. The meat was juicy, the veggies were fresh, and every bite had a good balance of everything. Definitely one of the better kebabs I've had. Customer service was on point! I'll be coming back for sure.

    Doner vegetarian burger
    Asjit H.

    We are always eager to try new places and while driving by on University Dr came across this new dining place. Turned out to be a new found with healthy chicken shawarma/doner options. We ordered almost every kind of entree option- sandwich, burger, classic garlic bread, chicken bowl, chocolate waffles. Everything tasted amazing and so freshly prepared ala carte meal. Their servers are very polite and offer good prompt service. Pretty spacious diner! Should definitely try if you are aroun the area or craving for good doner food!

    Food was great and the service was amazing! Everything came out fresh and fast, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. The place was clean and well run, and overall it was a really good experience. Definitely coming back!

    Döner kebab (beef) and curry fries.

    Everything was solid. The food was just like the döner I used to get from Lucky Döner in Landstuhl, Germany. The staff was super-friendly and the place was clean. The only other döner place I've found Stateside that was anything like the döner I would get overseas is Cafe Divan in DC. GDK is excellent. Also, if you are looking for a "German restaurant," this is not what this is. This is a döner kebab place that does döner the way the Turks in Germany make them. And it's spot on. If you were ever in the military and stationed in Germany, you would know exactly what this is.

    Curry Fries
    Noshin J.

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleased! If you'd had a gyro, this is similar yet quite different. A donner kebab is thinly shaved meat, sandwiched in a waffle like pita bread, stuffed with veggies, sauces, and packed with tons of flavor! It looks bigger than one could think to handle however it was super easy to eat and was totally fulfilling. The great thing was that it didn't leave me with a heavy feeling at all; rather a sense that I actually ate something tasty and healthy. The fries were great too with the options of the seasons but the best were the sauces!!! Try them all!! There is a yogurt, garlic, and spicy and all pair well with the donner and fries! We got the original donner- as is, and were totally satisfied. I really would not have changed a thing, but they can customize if you wish. Service was friendly however it was slow... so definitely expect to wait a little bit longer than a chipotle! The ambience was great, plenty of seating in a industrial/retro/casual space! The colors are bright and overall pretty clean. Overall GDK was pretty good, I'll be back for sure and will hope they open other locations!

    Original kebab with combination meat
    Van L.

    Was excited to see and try this new place. We've had all kind of kebabs but not German one. I was pleased with the amount of foods received. I ordered their original combo with combo meat and curry fries. The amount of foods received were great, so it was money well spent. Service was great as well as the taste. We'll definitely be back.

    Hair in food

    Firstly, if the food is good and it's expensive, okay great, makes sense. This food was horrid and expensive so I was already upset as soon as I took my first bite and had to go get salt packets. I don't believe in having to season my phone when I'm eating out. If I wanted to do that, I'd eat at home. The salt was also not even to season it, more so to cover up the taste of the rice. We got bowls and the "original" whatever that is. The rice for the bowls? Made in an INSTAPOT. You can't even be bothered to get out a pot and make fresh rice every few hours. The chicken was dry and hard (like when you shred chicken then microwave it too much) The rice was soggy probably because it had been sitting there overnight/all day but also because the rice to water ratio was definitely off. You're already being lazy by making it in an INSTANT POT but not you can't even be bothered to google rice to water ratio? The "original", the bread it came in was sooooo small. I mean think a bit bigger than a toaster waffle then folded in half. The guy up front was nice but the food was so bad. And not bad like "oh we'll give it one more try" I mean bad like complain worthy. Like if you were at a restaurant, you'd send it back -- I don't care who you are, Karen or not, you're sending that food bad. Lastly, there was a hair in my food. So that's nice. I went to eat it the next day because I didn't want to waste $50 of food and I found a hair. Was not mine as it was short and black -- same type of hair the cook had (place has glass that's see through to the kitchen). This place just isn't good. It's always empty so I'm not surprised.

    Really great service! You can tell the workers are passionate about what they do. My wife and I usually order a mix of both meats. Don't miss the sauce! It's delicious. There's also a punch card for a free kebab after 5 orders. Thanks

    The Original
    Chad J.

    Honestly the food was pretty good, portions are huge! Loved the egg rolls and original Sandwich. Got mixed meat, beef and chicken but the beef was my favorite by far and same for my wife. The problem is the wait time, we waited 37min (I timed it) for food!! Table next to us waited over 40min, this is unacceptable in today's fast casual restaurant world. This caused lots of back-up and people not freeing up tables and long line's waiting for food. They really have a process problem! For what they serve the wait time is absolutely ridiculous. They did not look under staffed just horrible process. Don't visit unless you have an hour to kill.

    Great beer selection and authentic German cuisine. One of the best! The pretzel is great!read more

    This place is more like a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only…read morething preventing it from getting 5 stars was the wait time to get our food. Everything else was fantastic. I'm actually very glad we came here instead of the other places we had planned on going for lunch. When we went, it was not crowded and we got seated quickly. This place is fairly big, with plenty of tables and space. They also have a dedicated "beer garden" on one side of the restaurant. For food, i had to get jager schnitzel with spaetzle. My wife ended up getting duck. Before my food came out, they also brought out a salad. I don't know if it was part of the jager schnitzel entree or the duck... But the salad was amazing. Everything was pickled and very intense flavor. Both entrees were great and i also like the fact that they have a kid's menu that serves german food. (I was afraid the kids menu would have simple items like burger and or chicken tenders, but that's not the case here.) the lunch portions were perfectly sized.... granted its not "texas sized" but it did its job and i left satisfied. What i really like about the place is the interior decor. It looks like the owners brought back so many trinkets, souvenirs and photos from their trips to Germany and it makes it feel more authentic. This was actually one of the saving grace from waiting to get our food, i tried to look around to see all the different things on displayed. Service was great. I'll definitely be back!

    After biking at Erwin Park in McKinney, it was late and I needed some grub (and Guinness, for…read morestrength!). My friend recommended this on his list of Irish Pubs around here, so I decided to give it a try. For a strip mall Irish Pub, it does take you into another world. Cool entrance that opens up to a horseshoe bar with tons of tables and booths. It was Trivia night, so they only had the Stanley Cup playoff on one TV. Sat down at the bar and ordered my Guinness and reviewed the menu. There were a couple of selections I was interested in (always gravitate to Bangers n' Mash), but went with the fish & chips with French Onion soup. Get these together, because the fish is delicious in the beef broth of the French Onion! It was good, though fish could've used a little more batter with the thick walleye filets. I loved it all and enjoyed the conversation with the bartender with the I Love Indie Horror hat. Some good ones out there that aren't being made like they use to!!

    My husband and I have been going here for years. Went this afternoon for a quick bite and learned…read morethat several of the longtime staff have left. That was a major disappointment. After we paid our bill with a credit card, I noticed that we were charged a 3% credit card fee. That was a first, and likely began in April since our last visit was on 3/24/26 and no credit card fee was assessed. Nowhere on the menu was it mentioned there would be a credit card fee, nor was it articulated by a bartender. That sort of fee makes me wonder what's going on in this establishment. Not sure we'll be back.
