Best darn food in valpo!!! Never dissaticefied been eating from King gyro for years! Awesome food!

The Gyro I had here was one of the best gyros I have had in the tri-state area, and it was a great value as well. The dining area is adequate for a good get together with friends and it is easy to get to. It is right on Lincoln Highway just west of Rt 49. read more

I get one of three items when I go through here. Gyro plate, hot dog special, or the Polish special. Have never been upset with any of those options. Always hot and fresh, with plenty of fries. Early in the day, late in the day, always good. Very fair pricing for what you get and the staff has always been friendly over the many years I've been eating here. read more

I love King Gyros in Valparaiso. The restaurant has been around since I was a child. It's my go to place for a GREAT hot dog and for eating on a small budget. It's not a perfect place by any means, only because I don't feel the lobby is ever as clean as it should be. The customer service is pretty good, they're not overly friendly or anything like that. I'll keep going there a few times a year for as long as this place is open! Love it! The only reason I'm not leaving a five star review is because the lobby and restroom aren't the most tidy. Tidiness is a HUUUUGE factor in choosing somewhere to eat. So, with this being said I'll usually get my order from the drive thru and eat at home! read more

What can you not say about the quality,quantity and excellent service that they have, hot and fresh ready to go Thank you King gyro's you are always a fan of mine since 1998 read more

My spinach pie was definitely an off brand is squashed doughy microwaved phyllo with something green spread in the middle. Inedible. He had the gyro and said it was reheated and tasteless. Not worth the stop- read more

Best gyros of ANY place in the u.s i have EVER had. HUGE sandwiches. The gyro plate feeds 2 easily with some leftovers. They switched meat brands from kronos (in my opinion the best gyros brand out there) to olympia which is just a notch below in flavor terms. But the meat is always sliced fresh to order and never pre-cut, i have never had a dry sandwich here. EVER. and ive been eating here 26+ years. and surprise....their BBQ ribs are some of the best i have had, and i have traveled all over the u.s and sampled ribs from every major bbq region. texas, kansas, st. louis, memphis, nashville, north carolina. sure they use some bbq sauce from a gallon jug purveyed from their food distributor, but the ribs are ALWAYS fall of the bone tender, smoked well and finished on the grill. the food is always consistent. served fresh and fast. skip the chain stores. eat local. my gripe....pepsi products. read more

5 stars. Wow. That is a pretty bold statement for a fast food place. The thing is, is that it is a great place for food. You don't go there for the ambiance. You don't go there for the prestige. You don't go there on a first date. You go there for the food. King Gyros is a glorified hot dog stand. Well, it's actually a building with a seating area and and a drive-thru. However, the food is good. It is probably very bad for you though. Everything I have had there is ample and awesome. It is owned by Greek immigrants. While they do have some Greek fare: Gyros (pronounced yee-rows), and tzatziki sauce, and baklava, they have everything from hot dogs to steak. I recommend: Gyros Chicken Gyros Ribs Rib Tip Dinner Greek salad Chicken Greek Salad Big Baby (cheeseburger) BBQ Chicken dinner Italian beef Chicago (Maxwell St) Style Hot Dogs Shrimp dinner French Fries I have had every one of the above and they are outstanding. Just outstanding. I love this place. When I moved to Colorado Springs, I craved this place more than any other in the Chicagoland area. read more

Simply the best Gyros anywhere! The Caesar's Salad with a grilled breast of chicken is also delicious. Terrific (but expensive) mushrooms, and the onion rings are top shelf, too. read more

OMG; how the mighty have fallen. What once was a nice, place for delicious food at a reasonable price has become nothing more than a crappy hole in the wall place with less than decent food. I have been craving a gyro and a chicken gyro for my wife. From the gummy cold pita (should have been grilled as in the past) to the coldIsh gyro meat (also not Grilled to a delicious crisp). The dry, flavorless chicken was just plain bad. What happened to King Gyro?? Two months ago we tried the rib tips - greasy, filled with fat and lacking meat. We have been loyal fans since 1996 - we miss those days big time. Valpo needs a reliable place with good food, great service at a reasonable price; read more

Best Gyro in town. I often go to Gyro joints for other fast food fare, and this isn't necessarily the best place for that. I'm not saying it's bad, you'll enjoy the cheeseburger or hot dog you get here if you order that, I'm just saying there are better Gyro places in town for that stuff. However, if you just want a Gyro; this is the best. Hands down. They get element of what makes a Gyro great right. So go eat it! read more

This is the gyro of childhood. It's not, I think, high quality ingredients. It's not "foodie" worthy food, in a fancy sense. But that said, I've been having gyros around the country and nothing compares. This is that fast-food, messy, calorie dense, stop-your-heart-in-its-tracks, delicious gyro that I remember from decades ago... here at this same place. In fact, the meat is a little spicy and tasty, and it just all comes together perfectly. King Gyros, don't ever change. read more

I had a great experience here. The staff is very friendly and the gyros are amazing! There's not many gyro restaurants in Valpo but this one is the best. read more

We absolutely love King Gyros! We love that you can call ahead and within 10-15 minutes pick up your food in the drive through. We regularly order their Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken. Very generous serving, chicken grilled to order, large generous portions of feta cheese and it is all incredibly delicious. We are also addicted to their Lemon Rice Soup. We joke that it tastes like a warm hug. It is the best Lemon Rice Soup we have found in the area. All of the food we have tried, ribs, gyros etc., has been wonderful. The gals that answer the phone and work the drive through window are always so friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend King Gyros. read more

Rib tips If I could give this place negative stars I would. I had these rib tips for dinner on 17 January 2016. When I first started eating them I knew they had a taste that reminded me of my childhood of many years past. That was the taste of charcoal cooked burgers saturated with lighter fluid by a well meaning father. These rib tips were absolutely saturated with lighter fluid to the point that both my brother and I endured upset stomachs for a little while. I can't say for sure why they chose to cook with lighter fluid saturated coals except to guess that they either rushed cooking, reheating or adding a char to the ribs. Maybe it was an off day or a very lazy Sunday, but avoid the rib tips until there are several positive reviews or forever. This place might do other things well, but their rib tips are not only disgusting, they are potentially dangerous to your health. read more

There's nothing like Midwest meat! This place is a little dingy inside and the staff are kinda creepy, but their food is absolutely awesome. The gyro meat (which is lamb) tastest sooooo good, and their tzatziki sauce is on point. Awesome food, pretty good prices, but I think the restaurant could have a makeover. read more

Best Chicken Gyros plate in the area. Not fancy. Great food. Great prices. A lot of cops eat here, which is always a great sign. If you haven't stopped, you're missing out. read more

This review is based exclusively on the gyros and service. Service gets 4 stars; everyone was very friendly and quick to serve. The gyro... Way to much meat! A person cannot possibly eat that much meat in one sitting; they should reduce the amount of meat or give you a second pita. It's a complete waste. Tzatziki was overly cucumbery. I tasted it before I dug in and found it to be quite pleasant. However, the further I was into the meal, it just became overpowering. On the bright side, it tasted as though it had been handmade. My final complaint is the lack of ingredients in the gyro. It consisted of meat and two 1/4 tomatoes smothered in tzatziki (I told them to hold the onion). No feta??? What is a gyro without feta? So, I complain and I am quite particular about gyros...but someday I'll be back if i can't find anything better in the area. Plus there is a whole other side to the menu.... read more

I used to come here all the time for gyros. Their gyro plater includes feta, peperoncinis, kalamata olives, onions, tomatoes, tzatziki sauce, 2 petas and a ton of gyro meat and fries. All this for about $8 and is enough to feed two people, however I've been known to eat it myself and be pretty miserable afterwards. This is because it's excellent. I've been to Greece and had authentic gyros and these are pretty on par with those honestly, probably a little more greasy and a little more garlic but I love them. Like others have said, it's a glorified hot dog stand style place. Hard wood formed booths and a counter where you order. They serve Vena Beef hot dogs which are the best hot dogs you'll ever have. And of course many other fried fair and things like italian beef and hamburgers. Also their fries aren't anything too special. They usually need more salt and if you bring them home and they go cold, probably best to just throw out. If you're looking for some good hot dogs or gryo or anything greasy for that matter. This would be a great place to try, i've never been disappointed. read more

I've ordered from Kings a number of times, and yet to be disappointed. From the Kronos Gyro meat to the Viena hotdogs, each item being some of the best heat and serve in the area. The only thing I don't like is that the menu on Yelp! is off, and needs to be changed to reflect what they have in their location.. (I've tried to order a few items that weren't there and was told that the menu was wrong on here). Definitely 2 thumbs up from me! I'll be back :) read more

Arguably the best gyro in the region. Hefty portions of meat and feta. Pita was soft and fresh.

I and my family has been going here for 15 years. The best gyros that I have ever had in Chicagoland! That's right, Chicagoland!

Even though I don't eat meat- I love this place. Their root beer somehow tastes better than any fountain root beer I have ever had in my life. Their large fries are huge. They also have really good fried mushrooms and mozzarella sticks. They have a drive thru, or you can sit down and eat. The lady who takes the orders is also very, very, friendly. read more

King Gyros - Fries and mozzarella sticks. - Greek Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

King gyros is the place to eat in valpo. I come here with my friends. I come here after work. The two polish dogs with fry special is the way to go. read more

Yeah yeah, it seems a bit pricey at first, but the gyros are worth it. A meal which costs close to $7 will get you a huge platter with two gyros and enough meat to fill up both of them to the brim (and have extra on the side). Their Tsatziki (Spelling...?) sauce is great and they give plenty to smother both of your tasty gyros. Hot dogs are great as well, very juicy, and they have that snap to them that makes a hot dog great. read more

King Gryos catered a local event and I was truly surprised by the spareribs. They were meaty, tender and not over laden with BBQ sauce. What was an additional surprise was the coleslaw. This too was simple and very tasty. Having lived in Valparaiso for 30 years, I had never patronized this small establishment. Now, they are on my list of places to go for carry-out. read more

Ate here while traveling but was so hungry for a gyro.... exterior and drive up did not impress but numerous cars indicated it is a local favorite. 5 stars for great food and prompt drive up service. read more

Fuck yeah...... That is all. Like you need an excuse or recommendation to eat large portions of fatty, salty, affordable food. Life is far too short to eat healthfully - and the king embodies this in spades. read more

Seriously, the food at King Gyros is pretty greasy BUT delicious. Also, you really can't beat the prices since the portions are large. The burgers are awesome and the ribs are surprisingly good. I've gotten away spending around $10 for a ton of food. Watch the arteries though! read more

Visiting , love GYRO's, good size and worth the price. I strongly recommend.

The best Gyros anywhere. Spend a good portion of my collage years eating here.

Having lived in Philadelphia for a few years, I became a die hard fan of gyros at Olympia Gyros in Reading Terminal Market. So delicious. So, when I ended up moving back to Valpo, I knew I'd miss it. I tried a few gyro joints in the area, and was not at all impressed. I saw the reviews of this place and gave it a try. I had a gyro, no tomato, with feta, and a side salad. The gyro was very good. The meat was tender and flavorful. The pita was nicely steamed and not at all dry. The tzatziki was good too - but, I wish it had more garlic to it. I had forgotten how little garlic it takes for a Midwesterner to think there's too much. Overall, a good place to go. If you like gyros, give it a try. read more

I love this divey place for good prices and memories, been going here since i was a kid. Everything is good here. Staff can seem rushed sometimes, but they do stay busy. Good baklava too. read more

This is an honest assessment, I'm here now with the food. I ordered a Gyro with everything, a Chicago dog, and a order of cheese sticks. The gyros was completely flavorless, lacking any hint of seasoning, they offered no feta cheese and the tomatoes were cut in the weirdest manner I've ever seen leaving only the skin on the gyros,the Chicago dog is pitiful, probably the smallest hot dog I've ever seen, buried in a bun much too large for it. The cheese stix were OK not the good ones with the good breading but that were OK, that is provided you don't use the marinara they give you which is not any good at all. My daughter asked for a water, which they display in the case in bottles, while they display name brand bottle water they gave her an off brand bottle at the same price, not good business. I would not recommend this to anyone at all. read more

Awesome gyros!!! If you're looking for authentic gyros, this is the place! To be honest, I haven't tried anything else's here because the gyros are the bomb!! Huge portions, great flavor! read more

I was looking for some local flavor and I found it. I check-out the spit to make sure the Gyros meat is nice and dark. I was puzzled at the fact that they didn't need to cut any from the hunk of meat spinning around. Was that just for display purposes? Or was I served a cancelled order? It was pretty good. It had a lot of sauce, which I like. The fries were ok. You can tell that they were blanched, because the grease was over powering what little flavor they had. It wasn't a bad place, but I think next time I'll just hit up the Pizza Hut. read more

Solid gyro and great sauce. The fries were like McDonald's and super tasty. My one single complaint would be that they forgot to put tomatoes in my order, so that was a little annoying because I didn't see it until I got home. Otherwise, the gyro itself was not greasy at all and cut with a knife, so it wasn't thin and no personality. I also got a hot dog with ketchup and mustard, but they were really skimpy on the amount of the condiments. read more

Very good chili dogs and italian beef sandwiches. Friendly, fast drive thru is very convenient.

Great place for fast food. The staff is always friendly. We come here once in a while and have never had a bad experience.

I live out of state and try to eat here whenever I am in town. It never disappoints. Gyros w/feta. Yum
