Went here Saturday afternoon for lunch. Walked in and knew all we wanted was a Gyro and some fries so easy, didn't even have to look at the menu. I walked up to the counter in the middle of the restaurant and I'm not sure if it's cause I'm short and she didn't see me right away, but the women working the counter didn't say hi or even acknowledge I was there for a couple of minute's I can honestly say I didn't get the warm and fuzzy invite to return soon. I said Hi and placed my order to go. We sat down at the card looking tables and chairs and waited for our meal to be done. They had a nice flat screen in the corner of the room so we were watching the college football game on TV. About 10 minutes later our meal was handed over. We walked out and got home to start our lunch. The Gyros had a decent size but the dough was a little tough, and my fries were of the large cut kind. Half of the fries were overdone and half of them were perfect, so I'm not sure if I got a little of two different batches or not?? I bit into my Gyros and the sauce was nice and creamy, and the meat was seasoned OK. I've had better gyro's in town, so I probably will skip coming back to this place in the future. read more

Stopped in here spontaneously because I saw that they served gyros, one of my favorite foods. Unfortunately, I did not get very good food or service. The atmosphere of the restaurant is dull. It was lunchtime and not many were in there. There was no greeting, I just walked to the counter and waited until the woman was there and placed my order. The wait time was also too long compared to other places that serve gyros. As for the food itself, I almost threw up. I got home and opened up the container to find the pita bread was burnt. I thought I could bare it because I was very hungry, but at the first bite I had to spit the food out and gagged. I brought the food back and the woman didn't even seem surprised that I was returning the food (did she know the food was not cooked right and gave it to me anyway?). Overall, very bad experience and I will never be going into this restaurant again. I see there a lot of positive reviews, and I only wish I could have had the experience instead. Sorry JTs Gyros, you have lost a customer. read more

JT's exceeded my expectations when I ordered the gyro plate the other day. Very generous portions and the plate is nice crispy fries (they know how to operate a deep fryer!!), gyro meat with griddled pita, rice and salad. Really, this was enough food for two but I couldn't take the leftovers unfortunately.... The pita was just about perfect and the tzatziki was pretty solid as well. I wouldn't say I was a fan of the salad, as it seemed there was no 'ette' in the vinaigrette (read ALL vinegar) but I'm sure it would be well received by others. I'll visit this shop again and determine whether they knock Chicago Gyros off the my-favorite-gyro-shop throne-and that is a very high standard! read more

First off, before I get into the JT review, a big honking one star or two thumbs down or a 'you suck' goes to whoever listed the restaurant profile on here. The Sunday hours are NOT 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. So I got there too early, which totally f'ed up my karma for the whole day leading to the Cardinals losing. Okay, rant over. I had been to JT's once or twice before. I had decided I was in the mood for gyros for game day and was going to head out around noon. Then I happened to look at the reviews on yelp and I saw they were open at 9 am on Sundays. Nice, I figured maybe they opened up for people going out to tailgate (note: It's amazing how many sub shops on the way to the stadium DON'T open early on game day for people wanting to pick something up for a tailgate). Anywho, I got there around 11:40, they were closed, tried to go to Mr. Gyro's at 35th/Bell but they are closed on Sunday's, and ultimately went back to JT's, since I didn't know if Chicago Gyro's was open on Sunday. Rolled in right at 12:00, and my order was taken quickly. Filled my cup with some wild cherry pepsi (kind of flat) and sat down to watch some football while my order was being prepared. Unfortunately, I couldn't do this, because for some reason the TV was showing some comedy central...or should I say 'comedy'... Anyways, my order came up and I headed home. The first thing I noticed when I opened the to go box was that they must have been using the fries from last night. I mean, they were kind of hot, but generally they weren't crisp. I would expect the first batch of the day to be pretty good, but these were definitely subpar. I grabbed the gyro and noticed that the pita had been toasted on the grill and was pretty dark. This gave it a great flavor and a great crunch! The gyro meat was great and the tzatziki was quite tasty as well. If I had only gotten the gyro, I would be debating whether or not to give JT's four or five stars. But since the soda and the fries kind of suck, I'm giving it 3 stars. I'm sure I'll be back at some point...I'll just be sure to call ahead to make sure they are open. read more

Two days and two trips to the spinning meat sticks of happiness. I have to say that I'd already ordered the dolmas when I sat down to read the reviews and sadly Valerie's take on them isn't too far from the truth. Dolmas seem like pakora , within Indian restaurants, in that they nearly all have them ( except for the insane places that have them only at weekends) but you never quite know what you're going to get. What I got looked the part, but apart from the citrus smell it was hard to pull any real taste out of them. Out of the 8 5.5 were left. So now I'm getting a bit worried about what's coming out next but thankfully I didn't need to worry. The gyro salad was large, fresh and the meat was plentiful. The pita bread decent and the accompanying sauces within expectations. My partner had the Gryo pita basket and the damn thing was also good, decent fries served with it too. I'm certainly going back based on the strength of the entrees and without the dolmas would have been a four read more

Love the gyro sandwich here and it comes with a super yummy homemade soup that I can't get enough of. Friendly and clean!!

One of the best gyro places I have tried so far!!! The lamb gyro was amazing and the little soup that came with it!!

This is by far the best Greek restaurant I've eaten at so far. Service with a while and everything was served very fresh vegetables and all. The place is really clean and I loved my lamb gyros sandwich. Nom nom nom!!!!! read more

JT Gyros - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

JT's is your typical gyro joint menu wise, but they're doing it well and keeping it clean. I've ordered from JT's on about 12 occasions and haven't been disappointed, so I'll just give a quick rundown on the standouts: Pita - The bread is great and toasted well, buttery and crisp. Tzatziki - Likely they best I've had from a gyro shop. Gryo - Great, fresh produce. Green leaf lettuce, tasty and never limp tomatoes, onions, etc. Kifta Kebab - Fantastic, the best I've had from this category of restaurant in the valley. Rice - The rice is always tasty, it's cooked and seasoned perfectly with a little dash of smoked paprika to finish Fries - Some of the yelp reviewers pan them, others love them; I'm in the love camp. Always crispy never greasy in my experience. Service - JT is a friendly guy and the one time they made a slight mistake with my order, he corrected it quickly, gave me a discount and comped a drink and some baklava. Cleanliness - this joint is spotless, as proven by their county inspection record. Skip the Greek Pita, the Pita Jungle and the other chains, the food here is far tastier and more consistent. This is my second favorite kebab (gyro) joint in the valley. read more

This place has ruined me for all other gyros. Meat portions are generous. Staff is always friendly. Place is always clean.

Love this place! Not fancy, but a great neighborhood place that's always clean, prices are good, and the staff is always friendly. The gyro pita is tasty and loaded with plenty of meat to fill you up. Their baklava is awesome too! JT is right around the corner from my father-in-law's place, so I make sure to get my gyro fix every time I'm in town. read more

Love Love Love JTs! Great food, great portions, great prices! Everything I've had from here has been delicious. And their soup.... should come in an IV. Fresh salads, the rice is on point which is a must for me. Fast service, delicious Baklava and Super friendly owners. If you are in the mood for some Mediterranean give this place a try! read more

Seriously, better than ANY other gyro place I have ever been. The meat is the real stuff, not frozen strips heated up. pitas are hot and slightly toasted. HERE'S THE UNUSUAL PART : Absolutely spectacular fries! If you are like me and hate soggy limp fries, you don't have to worry at JT's. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside - the way fries are supposed to be. I usually have to order my fries 'well done' and at other places they are STILL soggy. Not here. I have taken two Fry snobs here to see what they thought and they both gave them rave reviews! read more

Had no idea they were closing in 30 mins until as we were leaving we were their last costumers.. They were absolutely wonderful to us .. I got chicken and steak rice salad with a warm pita... amazing. . He split my meat meat portions so I could have both.. I got a small hummus yummm with two extra posts.Very good. the combo plate was really good salad is a nice portion with feta olives and jalapeno, plenty of rice and warm pita, beef gyro chicken.. all very juicey. Not dry... Would recommend this restaurant. The price was right for my pockets without leaving a bad taste in my mouth. read more

This place has the best Gyros and Pizza Puffs I've ever had. Their menu is a little pricey and I have to say that I wasn't thrilled seeing the 1 refill note on the soda machine. Note to: JT Gyros if you read this I would suggest removing the sign from the machine and allow your customers free refills as you will lose customers with this since other places allow free refills. read more

Came here and ordered #31. Their salad was amazing. Huge portion, which I wasn't expecting. Friendly service. Will definitely come back to try something different on their menu. read more

This great food. Try the chicken shwarma sandwich! Also if you are eating to go phone your order in about 10 minutes it's usually ready. Favorite place to get Greek food. read more

JT Gyros - Great place to have lunch or dinner! - Greek Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have been looking for a good place for chicken shawarma in the West Valley since I moved here. I've tried about a half dozen places and it was all pretty "meh." I've missed good shawarma since moving here from Baton Rouge two years ago. Finally, finally. I found the spot. The shawarma was great, the rice was great, and the pit was amazing. You now have a regular customer in me. read more

Picked up a rental car and headed towards the 101 and got lost. Ran into JT Gyros, had a nice salad with great meat. The baklava was absolutely wonderful. Staff very friendly. If you are a Pita Jungle Fan this is a good alternative if it is packed and you won't pay the price. read more

Me and my girlfriend stopped at this place for lunch we had the gyros meal. The service is excellent very friendly staff. The food was pretty good but I was a little disappointed in the portion size for the amount they were charging. They did play what I am going to assume is Greek music the whole time I was there so if you like that sort of thing This would be a good place for you to try read more

I ordered delivery and had a pleasant experience. I go in for carryout and I dont have any of the things I received as I did with my delivery order. Makes no sense. read more

Loved It! Food was amazing and delicious. The owner was super nice and funny. Overall welcoming and caring environment. 10-10 would recommend. read more

Excellent Gyro and a great price! Mr. Katz makes one mean fresh Gyro, the pita isn't some boboli premade pita either ITS FRESH. Taziki is so good order extra and try some on those great crinkle fries, not to greasy. A plate will be less than or around $10 and it will fill you up. Small place with BIG flavor! They also have an array of deserts freshly made, beverages and other Greek plate favorites as well. read more

This place is so good! The gyros are amazing and the chicken shawarma plate is very good and large portions. Every time I come the place is clean and have always received friendly and fast service. A hidden gem that has become one of the regular places in Phoenix I go to. read more

I first heard about this place word of mouth by a stranger when he overheard a conversation about not being happy with a few gyro places. I tried it and that one time was all it took for me to have a favorite Greek food place. The service is also helpful and friendly and they keep the place amazingly clean. I still refer people to this place when taking about an amazing gyro. read more

I have been coming to JTs off and on for 9 years ... And I while working for various companies I have the ability to travel most of metro Phoenix and surrounding areas... While there are easily some places that come close to the flavor and quality JTs has always put out... None can equal them! ... Travel from Goodyear just to eat here and always leave excited I went!! The number 1 meal... Good old fashion gyro... Cannot be beat! read more

Our family has lived in the neighborhood here for years and every once in awhile I have to eat here! I stopped in for lunch today to get the #17 gyro plate. I typically get this or the gyro pita meal. It was tasty as always, came with a soup, salad, two big scoops of rice, full serving of gyro meat and a freshly browned pita bread. This is a lot of food and you definitely get what you pay for. The food is authentic and cooked each day, the salad was fresh, tossed in a nice dressing, topped with a nice bit of crumbled cheese, and the greens had a nice crunch. This restaurant is always clean, the seating areas are well kept, everything is neatly placed and the food is always delicious. The owners are usually the ones ringing up your order so you can be sure there will be no error. If you're looking for a nice meal for lunch or dinner and want a quality Mediterranean meal give this place a try. Thank you JT Gyros for providing excellent food and service consistently. read more

See all

I ordered from here for delivery through GrubHub. The hummus had very little flavor and was very oily and the dolmades are small and also very oily. The delivery time was prompt so that was a plus. Next time I will try somewhere else in the area. read more

This place is amazing. I had the chicken shawarma pita and the flavor was insane. I'm positive that everything on the menu is just as good and I will be back multiple times for sure. Check this place out!! read more

The best place for gyros hands down. Chicken shawarma and rice is amazing and large portions too.

The absolute best. I can not think of anywhere I have ever had better gyros. The owner and his family are great, and take the time to attend to every customer. read more

Warning! Do not order through doordash. ... Ordered, they got it wrong. Corrected the order, they got it wrong again. Called to get money refunded and the people in the restaurant argued and yelled at us and told us they can't put chicken on a Greek salad. Strange! read more

If you are a vegetarian and you love Greek food beware of Jay's Gyros their vegetarian selection is overpriced and tastes like trash. I understand the name of the place has Gyro's in it so I can't say that their meat selections are bad. The hummus is tasteless and runny, the dolmas taste like pine sol, and the falafel is bland I just couldn't believe I paid $9 for a dinner I couldn't eat. I will stick with Greek Patio and Pita Jungle for tasty Greek food." read more

I found this place by accident one night when I went to Del Taco across the street and they were out of chicken. With my immense chicken craving I decided to go across the street to Popeye's, where I stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant. I've been going there pretty consistently for about a year now and it's pretty decent food. Typically when the boy and I go he gets the steak kebab plate and I get the chicken kebab plate. It comes to about $20 and we take it home to eat. Their rice is always delicious, the meat is always cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and served with speed. Their fries are perfectly crunchy and the pita....oh the pita. YUM. The family that runs the joint are VERY nice. It's a place I'll go back to again and again, and to think...if only Del Taco wasn't out of chicken... read more

Today I visited JT Gyros for the second time and decided to write a review for it. I completely agree with a previous reviewer with the place warranting about 2.75 stars. Maybe 2.5. It's not that great. Actually, now that I think about it they're getting a 2 (folds arms and nods). Yesterday I got the vegetarian plate to go. I'm a big fan of this style of cuisine, with my favourite being Greek Wraps on Bell Rd. I love dolmas, falafels, shawarma, kibbe, tzatziki, hummus, baklava.. you name it I drool over it. And I've had lots of veggo plates from mediterranean places before, decorated with all sorts of dandy unique items like pickled turnips etc. I was quite disappointed with the meal from JT's. To start with, it certainly LOOKED appetizing. All the pieces of the puzzle were there; hummus centrally punctuated with kalamata olives, a nice arrangement of dolmas and falafel (hockey-puck shaped on a bed of lettuce, as opposed to the more traditional shape which always reminds me of the haystacks in Monet's "End of Summer, Morning") on a bed of lettuce, surrounded by tomato and cucumber. That's almost where the attractiveness ended, I'm afraid. From best to worst: the hummus was great, very tasty although they went a little too heavy with the accompanying oil and the topcoat of paprika; the falafels were just okay (didn't taste near as flavorful as the fresh stuff from Greek Wraps - Ryan C got it spot on with the observation that it tasted like out-of-a-box mix); the dolmas were WARMED (I cannot STAND the taste of warm dolmas, especially the ones with meat in them - these didn't have meat, of course) - dolmas MUST be served cold as far as I'm concerned, although I understand that this is very much a personal preference; the lettuce had turned wet and soggy from the dolma juice, the pita bread was sub-par and was almost as tough as shoe leather when it cooled down slightly (I had to growl and wrestle with it to rip off a chunk like a feral animal); and finally.. oh my god, the so-called "tzatziki" was absolutely ~disgusting~. It was actually closer to coconut cream than anything else, except less flavorful. OK, imagine mixing 1 part flour with 10 parts skim milk. Or a container of raw Church's Chicken regular batter mix. That's what this stuff was. I paid almost ten bucks for a meal that left me highly dissatisfied in flavor. I polished the entire thing off apart from the not-even-close-to-tzatziki sauce, which indicated that it wasn't a complete turnoff, but still. Seriously, if my meal didn't have good hummus that I was able to just drown the flavor of the dolmas in I'd be mildly pissed. Won't be coming back. It's entirely worth the trip further down the road to Greek Wraps. Did I mention Greek Wraps yet? That name again: Greek Wraps. As for JT's, it gets this week's steaming dog's egg award. (claps hands twice) (light turns off) read more

This place always has good food and good service. We were really sad when Mr. Gyros closed, but we found this place and weren't so sad. It's not usually very busy and its relatively quiet. We've only ever gotten their Veggie plate, so I can't tell you if the meat is good. The veggie plate is amazing though!!! read more

Tried this little gyro place today and it was pretty good. Didn't hurt that there was a group of hot fire fighters there waiting for their food. I digress. Anyhow cousin had the number one gyro and I had the gyro dinner. Both were good. Son had the chicken nuggets and those were pretty bland, could've made them better at home. read more

Yummy! Love the little cup of soup that comes with the gyros. Excellent Greek salad. Authentic!

I go to JT Gyros as often as I can. The service is always nice, friendly and fast. The food is also very very good. If you are looking for the real deal in fast Greek food JT's is the place you want to go to. I just wish I could give them a higher rating than 5 stars. read more

This place has good food...it's the meat portions I have an issue with. Ordered through Grub Hub and most of the meal was rice and salad, very little meat and they charge $5.99 for delivery when most places only charge $2.99. Will not be dining here again....too chinchy with meat! read more
