    We felt like trying something different from our usual Kopps or Oakland Gyro. Found Golden Gyro through reviews and figured we'd give it a shot. It's a little stand-alone spot, cash only (which we knew ahead of time). The staff seemed a bit rushed, but not rude or anything. We ordered the gyro dinner and couldn't pass up the tiramisu frozen custard since it's one of my favorite desserts. Food came out pretty quick, and everything was nice and hot. The gyro and fries were actually really good! The tzatziki wasn't my favorite though -- super thick and kind of plain, more like Greek yogurt with cucumbers bits. The frozen custard was a nice surprise -- firmer than what I'm used to at Kopps but really tasty. I might even change my go-to! We'd definitely come back... just don't forget to bring cash.

    Had a fish sandwich craving and my husband and I were driving past Golden Gyros so we decided to stop. The drive thru had quite a long line so we parked the car and my husband went inside to order. The fish sandwich was huge and I ordered the Greek fries which were soooo good! Also, ordered onion rings which were huge, hot and delicious!! We will be back.

    I was looking forward to trying golden gyros after reading all of the positive reviews, but was ultimately disappointed. I wanted to like this so bad!! Maybe it was an off night, I don't know. Bring cash, and a lot of it. Our order was over $40 for two gyros and two orders of cheese fries. Big portions though. It was pretty busy but not too bad of a wait. The cheese fries were pretty darn good! The gyro was fine. The meat was a little overcooked and very salty. It didn't look fresh by the time we got home with our food. Maybe I'll try a cheeseburger instead next time. But for now, I'll stick to my usual gyro places (OG's & pak dahman).

    Have driven by 100's of times,but never stopped Decided on a wim to give it a try.The drive thru was very busy so went in to order. Ordered two fish sandwiches, Greek fries ,regular fries and onion rings for us.Took awhile as many other orders were ready before my order.I think one of the fish was accidentally dropped so I think they had to fry another. Order was finally ready and clerk apologized for the wait.The sandwich was good(very large too), and the onion rings were very tasty.The fries were good,but nothing special. Overall it was good,but I expected a bit more for the price(a little on the high side).Taste was good,but just good.Would try again to try their Gyros.They also have custard.Worth a try,if you don't mind the prices.

    I've been coming here for decades. Their gyro sandwich tastes the same as it did in 2005. The service is fast, and the food is great.

    Chicken Shish Kabob Sandwich, no onions or tomatoes. Yes there is a pita soaking up all the flavorful juices underneath all that chicken.

    I know the pic looks like a hot mess but this is the best Chicken Shish Kabob in the Milwaukee area. Super flavorful (might be a tad salty for some), juicy, and generous portions too. The pita wrapped around the meat is soaked full of the spices and juices, which is so tasty. It normally comes with onions and tomatoes as well, but I get it without. I also love their tzatziki sauce because the cucumbers are tiny diced pieces instead of slimy shreds like most places. I don't know why but it makes a huge difference in the texture. Their frozen custard is super creamy. A friend recommended their Chocolate Malt flavor to me and it did not disappoint.

    Supreme Gyro

    Haven't had a gyro from GG for many, many years. This was one of the times I had cash and was in the area so had to get one. It was quite a bit of a wait. Maybe 15 minutes at the drive thru line. I ordered a Supreme Gyro which with tax came to $11.14. Just like I remembered it. Stuffed full of meat, onions and tomatoes. It also comes with 3 tsikiki sauces. I am giving it 4 stars even if the cashier gave me $1 instead of $4 back. She realized it and returned with the right change which I gave her the cash for tip. Even for take out it's good form to leave a tip.

    Plain gyro supreme. Weighed just over one pound.

    I love gyro meat, so it was a no brainier that I needed to try Golden Gyros once I found out about it. I had some initial hesitation when I saw pictures of their menu and how pricy they are compared to other gyro places, but I figured it's worth trying once at the least. I was pleasantly surprised to see the building had a drive thru, which was convenient given the cold of winter and the limited time during a work day lunch break. Not as convenient is the fact that they only take cash. In an age when it's becoming less common for people to be carrying cash, establishments should give up their unwillingness to pay credit card services fees and get with the times. Thankfully I happened to have cash on me and didn't have to use their indoor ATM with likely a fee involved from my bank and possibly Golden Gyros as well. As noted, the prices are high. A gyro combo (sandwich, fries, and drink), was a little more than $13 before tax. I didn't feel I needed the soda, so initially I ordered just fries for $3.30 and a plain gyro $8.44. Immediately I noticed they had a "supreme" gyro with extra meat for $1.46 more. I changed my order and pulled ahead to pick up my $14 even in food. The bag I was given was HEAVY. Since I was driving I couldn't pull everything out right away and investigate, but the order of fries was huge. Easily enough that two people could have shared it and been satisfied. When I got to work, I opened up the biggest gyro I've ever seen. Literally it weighed just over a pound when I put it on our shipping scale. Clearly you get you're money's worth even if the money is more than most others. As far as taste goes, the fries were fine. There wasn't a lot of flavor, so I ended up using ketchup after a while just to mask the repetitive taste of potato. The gyro meat and pita were cooked well. Pretty standard on the flavor for both of those, even with the size being above standard. I don't know if I'd get the fries again mostly because the gyro supreme is a meal all on its own. Now that I know what to expect, I just need to make sure I go with a very empty stomach first.

    Really good gyros, burgers and sandwiches. Their Greek salad and avogolemono soup is spot on. Big portions, made fresh, served piping hot.

    My fave spot for generous gyros, which I take back with me to California when I'm in town. Delish midwest style gyro meat, at a great price.

Because of the many dishes added I decided to try the chilaquiles with red sauce. The serving was generous but the price seemed to be inflated at 16.99 for the plate. This also came with a small side of beans in a bowl. Unfortunately the food was missing flavor, the rice was extremely bland almost like they forgot the salt. Everything else was ok. I want to go back but I'm not sure it is worth the increased pricing paired with the lack of flavor.

    After an early morning flight to MKE, all we wanted was a greasy diner breakfast - and Aunt Deb…read moreknew just the place! This spot is divey, yet all the things I would expect from a Wisconsin diner joint. A cutesy interior - with wood paneling, plenty of booths and tables, kitschy linens and drapes - and the food is BOMB. We were seated at a corner booth, instantly brought over coffee and water and looked at the massive menu. I love diner food, so I opted for a loaded omelette with a side of crispy hashbrowns and toast - while my husband opted for traditional breakfast of two eggs (over easy), hashbrowns, toast, and a side of their famous pancakes. Everything tasted deliciously fresh, greasy and just what the doctor ordered. YUM!! Our server had the entire space to herself and handled it like a pro. She checked back with us often, consistently had our waters refilled and brought boxes without us having to even ask! Pricing is CHEAP. Like WOAH. Our whopping total came to just above $30 for 3 people with coffee and our entrees. I'm in love! When back in MKE, I WILL return!
