Fun gyro place within walking distance of where I live. They do a couple things really well, and a couple things are so-so. The good: the lamb is well seasoned and tasty. Their vegetables are fresh and delicious. The yogurt tzatziki sauce is delicious too. The average: the hummus is so-so. I make hummus at home (and I've been told it's "bomb") and mine is honestly better. The tahini is over powering in the hummus at Mr. Gyros. I'd experiment with a different proportion of tahini, or boost the other flavors. Also the greek fries are french fries with a few crumbs of feta on top. Pretty lackluster. Also, the "plate" prices seem a little much for what you get. Stick to the sandwiches for a better value. Overall there are some decent things about this place. Good value to be found if you keep it simple and stick with the falafels. I definitely come here semi regularly, but I stick to only a couple of options because of the inconsistency across the menu. read more

Meh. I like gyros, (usually get chicken, or chicken shwarama). Gone here a handful of times because I live pretty close, and it's just consistently disappointing. Now we instead just get gyros less frequently and get delivery from some places further away, like Mint and Olive, which is far far better. read more

Meh. If I could describe this in one word it's "MEH". I read the reviews and figured I would decide for myself if it was as "bomb" as everyone says it is. I live down the street so what the hey. I arrived and ordering was super quick! I had the Gyro plate and man was it huge. That plate includes... * Salad: I know these salads are simple but the dressing sucked and was a bit bitter. *Pita bread: How do you mess this up? It was whatever. Kinda soggy and way too thick. It felt wet. *Hummus: PLAIN AS PLAIN CAN BE. Zero flavor. *Rice: Zero seasoning. Zero flavor. *Meat: SO GOOD AND FLAVORFUL! This was the only part of the dish that had flavor so in order to enjoy the rest of the food I made sure to eat a piece of meat with every bite! Overall I don't think I would go back to this place. Maaaaaybe in a pinch. MAYBE. read more

I loved this place! The service was very pleasant and super fast. I had the gyros sandwich and it was a great sized portion, I left completely full. The garlic sauce was so yummy and I appreciated the hot sauce. During my week-long trio to Seattle I came back twice to this tasty place, I'll be back next time! read more

Horrible, horrible experience - food was sub par. Drenched in goodness knows what kind of sauce - and I asked for no sauce at all on this to go order! read more

Disregarded requested instructions to avoid allergies. Had higher expectations and attention to detail.

First off, I have ever been a fan of gyros. That all changed when I had the classic gyro at this place. The meat was tender and the sauces mixed in were flavorful. The gyro wrap itself is definitely different that any other I have had and what I would imagine gyros in Greece would be like. read more

Food was alright, my beef gyro was like 60% a salad and the fries were unevenly salted.

Best lamb gyro ever. The portion and quality of the gyro was better than expected. My mates' chicken and lamb salads were the same caliber and the group gives Mr. Gyros a big thumbs up. Service was fast and friendly. Will come back again next time we are in Ballard. read more

It's really gone downhill. I used to love this place but I've now had a second bad experience at one of their stores. I used to love giving these guys my money because the food was fantastic, but now it's just expensive and not very good. The main problem is the meat, it tastes old and kind of cheap. It's hard to describe, but there's something about the flavor and texture that's wrong. read more

Everything tasted SO bland. Bland meat, bland garlic sauce, bland fries, etc. Everything had potential but just really lacked in flavor. The best tasting thing was the free hot tea. That was delish! read more

Really good gyros. Wife and I stopped here for a late lunch a few days ago. Owner/server was so nice. He got us exactly what we wanted. Lots of meat on the gyros. Great taste. Highly recommended. read more

I love Greek food!! And this place did justice to my taste buds. Outside of Mr. Gyros, I usually only have had gyros from chain places and have rarely come across a Greek place that is local. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall with a ton of two seater tables, but you can move them together for bigger groups. My group got the gyros plate and I got a gyro with French fries with feta on top. The plate comes with salad, meat, rice, pita and humus. For the price, there is a ton of food. Their fries with feta really hit home though and complimented the gyro well. I would highly advise getting the spicy garlic sauce if you like the sting of garlic! read more

Another difficult review. The initial reaction was very positive. It smelled amazing and it was cram packed full of nice on the eyes "ambience". We ordered up and the guys working here work their magic with both food and flirt quickly. We sat outside on the sidewalk table, it was a beautiful day and who doesn't love a little Greenwood people watching? Then..........I saw it. .....The sticker. ....but wait. Not one...but TWO yelp loves us stickers. F**k. *sigh* The first half of my gyro was everything i expected it to be. Tasty, crisp, fresh, my theory of the yelp sticker was in serious jeapordy. But, alas, the second half lent credence to my theory. Sadly. No tomatoes on half numero 2. And the sauce...once creamy is turning pasty and sparse. I cannot completely discount Mr Gyro's for this, however, because I did get my monies worth in food and more than my monies worth in "ambience' As as added bonus, should you visit, do whatever you can to sit outside. Because when you do, if you look into the windows you have front row viewing of the CROTCHES of whomever is sitting at the window bar stools. The guy eating lunch that day goes commando, btw. read more

I have never been to a Gyro joint this consistent. Mediterranean spots are as dime a dozen as Teriyaki joints in this city, so finding a place worth a dollar in a sea of 12 for 10¢ spots is a loose god send! At first glance! The place is tiny, barely holding more than 15, but trust me when I say the wait (though very sporadic) is freakin worth it. I visit clients round the Greenwood area fairly often, I love it that I can go someplace like this and get a delicious and healthy meal for a good price. I usually get the Gyro plate: gyro meat pilled high, a generous portion of hummus and tzatziki sauce, a big salad, and of course the complimentary (when dining in) mint tea. I eat here at least twice a week and have been here many times without ever a complaint! 5 sorry-I-kept-ya-waiting-on-my-reviews-but-I'm-back stars out of 5 read more

Mr. Gyros - Nomz! Gyro plate! - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Horrible. SHAME ON YELP. They aren't giving a good representation of the stars or votes!! This place showed up as the best gyro near me. The gyro was hands down the worst ever. The meat wasn't normal but chewy. Like they were making meat with by products to save money. The pita seemed home made and worse than I could do and I'm no special chef. They had red cabbage in the gyro! The garlic sauce was horrible! No tiziki. This place is cutting corners and it shows. read more

This has been one of my favorite places for Greek food in Seattle for over 10 years. The owners are fun, energetic, appreciative and and they make a great gyro! read more

I love Mr. Gyros. They're friendly, efficient, affordable and the food is delicious. The plates give you a taste of everything. It is easily my favorite Greek spot in Seattle. The flavors are so robust. So legit! One bonus about this location is it's spacious if you want to sit and eat. Good to note: They break between 4-5! read more

What's not to like about this place? And what's left to say after hundreds of positive reviews? I'll add my $0.02, but, really, if you're reading this, you should just plan to come in and check it out. It's a tiny storefront on Greenwood, right at 85th. There's a bit of parking right up the hill. It really is minuscule--a couple little tables on the sidewalk when they're open, and a couple more inside. Then it's a giant menu hanging from the ceiling, a cash register, and a big old kitchen. And they work fast. These guys have it down to a science. They might not be busy every second of every day, but they always know that the busy time might not be too far around the corner. They're always ready. The staff is young and energetic, and they seem to know that pretty much everyone is a prospective regular. They're used to the whole neighborhood, and then some, piling in here to get fed. They got it goin' on--you order, and they hope to it, and it does not take long to put everything together, even with multiple seasoning steps along the way. I had the lamb and beef gyros plate. Fresh meat and bread and cheese, tasty olives, crisp vegetables. Absolutely no complaints at all with any part of the meal. Explosively flavorful, balanced seasonings, careful cooking. All for $10. You really can't beat these guys. read more

So, here is my update for this hometown hero(gyro)- More than one years and countless falafels later, I'm still very much enamored of this hole in the wall. We finally ordered from the takeaway window, late last night. The service was as stellar as during the day, the staff were fast, friendly, and totally patient with the onslaught of drunken gyro-worshipppers. The food was fast, reasonable and much easier to obtain than firing up the stove here at home, 'round midnight. Love these guys, keep doing what you're doing! read more

Easy easy EASY take out (for Ballard). Parking for take out is right in front (30 mins or less). Call in your order, wait 10mins, park, pick it up. Super nice, and not to mention handsome men will cook you up a delicious meal. One of my favorite stops for lunch during a hectic work day. I went with 4 stars because the chicken on the combo plate thinly sliced, which dried it out. I prefer moist cut up pieces. From now on, I will order a falafel plate-- mmm. read more

This is a great place. They are so friendly and food is tasty! I called in an order for 14 people and all of the orders were correct!!! This is a big deal for me because I usually place large order at local eateries and something is usually wrong, but not this time. Thank you to all at Mr. Gyros, so glad you are in the neighborhood. read more

The food is good but for how much they've hiked up the prices? No way! I got a side of tzatziki and fries and my total was $8.64. Look at my picture for the size. They really need to decrease the prices for their sides at the very least. Gyro Hut in Northgate is way better for what you pay for. read more

Mr. Gyros in Greenwood is the real deal. The other spots just don't measure up to this lusciousness. Mr. Gyro truly deserves all those stars, as it produces an exceptionally tasty sandwich. The lamb kabob is my favorite: delicious, slurpy, and the size of a large burrito. You will realize its good when eating. Filled with tasty lamb chunks, yogurt, tomato, lettuce and humus and wrapped in a spongy version of pita, it's darned good. Fast froward to a day later when you are craving it all over again: that's when you appreciate how truly great this budget bite is, and how addictive. There are many other plates at Mr. Gyro with chicken, lamb and falafel and all arrive with colorful, fresh ingredients. You can't go wrong here. For my money, the lamb kabob sandwich puts all the goodness together in all the best ways. This is a grab and go spot, very basic and small, but there is some limited seating in front, and a table or two on the street in front of the store for a sunny day, should you care to brave the crowds and try for eating in. The service here is friendly, outgoing and efficient. Perfect compliment of good service and a great sandwich. read more

Good service, but the food prep and plating method along with dirty seating areas, make for a sloppy and unpleasant overall experience. All the ingredients are here: high-traffic location, good recipes, well-priced menu, prompt and pleasant service. But like with any restaurant, the proof's on the plate. I ordered the lamb shawarma sandwich, classic, simple. The lamb was full of tough gristle, hard and jaw-popping. The sandwich was served like a burrito, rolled up in paper and foil, and the package cut in half. This put little bits of paper and foil into the sandwich halves, also not tasty. Trying to unwrap the sandwich caused the ingredients to spill out everywhere. Messy! The sauce, the bit that makes shawarma shawarma, was delicious as always, but no amount of yummy sauce will trim the tendon from the lamb meat, or do anything for the paper and foil bits but hide them further, or keep the cucumber, lettuce and tomato from creating a salad in the bottom of my basket. Larger pita, more traditional whole-sandwich service, and greater attention to meat prep will get things back on track. Sweeping and wiping your restaurant more frequently will help too. In a neighborhood rife with food choices, it's super important to give customers every reason to come back...sadly, it will be a while before I come back here. read more

This is the second location of Mr. Gyros with their original location on Greenwood. This place is spacious and airy with the same quality that you'll find at the other place. Hands down, some of the best gyros in Seattle too. You won't regret stopping in for a bite or takeaway because the food is achingly addictive. Their menu is simple with sandwiches, plates, and salads. You'll get out of there for a tenner easily with a gyro for $5.50 plus $2 more, you can get Greek fries and a drink! Portions are quite large so unless you're hella hungry, order with care. Street parking only. Come hungry and you won't be disappointed. read more

Hells to the yeah, it is a place with nice, Greek men on the grill who talk you up and make you feel good while you're stuffing yourself with fatty foods. The four stars, and not five, is for the inconvenience of eating. It's often hard to find space to even wait in line to order your food, and if you want water, it's going to be a road trip. I wish their dine-in area was expanded a bit. First impressions are important, too, and when I first arrived I thought this place was going to suck. I sit here corrected. This is a guaranteed place to fill your cravings for whatever you are having. I dig the food; I love the combo plate they have with their homemade hummus, Greek salad, and pita breads with lamb. Their falafel is bomb, too. I dig the clientele, it's lax people who want something to eat. I've never been annoyed by the customers (and I am easily annoyed) they pull in, unlike the restaurants in the Eastside. + Atmosphere, menu, quality of the food, staff, promptness. I leave stuffed like a Greek and tip like no other. read more

Yelp suggested Mr Gyros for inexpensive Mediterranean food in the Ballard neighborhood. It was a good choice for my my friend and me. She had Lamb Shawarma which she really liked a lot. She especially liked the Greek Salad that came with it. I ordered a Falafel Gyro and although I wish it contained a bit more falafel, the crisp veggies in it were enjoyable. Kind of amusing that my friend and I both appreciated the "vegetation" part of our meals. Service was very friendly, and one of the workers behind the counter came out to our table to make sure our meals were OK. read more

I came here after craving gyros for about a week, and was very satisfied. Take out was super easy and quick, and thank goodness for their parking lot on the side too. Greenwood parking is a nightmare, and this place is definitely more accessible with a parking lot! Service was friendly, just like everyone else has written. I love their gyro sandwich because it comes with a lot of onions, cucumbers and the meat is tender and tasty! Prices are reasonable too so I'll have to come back and try some of their other plates. read more

Friendly and good food Love Greek food. Great value. The pita and hummus Ae delicious read more

We usually love Mr. Gyros but the lunch we got from this location yesterday was not freshly cut off the spit and was dry instead of juicy. I suspect they pre-cut some of the meat to save assembly time but it affects the quality which is very disappointing! read more

So shocked and sad about the gas explosion that leveled the Mr. Gyros Greenwood site. I'm hoping that they will have the ability to rebuild and know that the community near and far will be rallying behind them. read more

Went to Mr Gyros on a sunny Saturday afternoon around 1:30. There was a line of about 5 people ahead of us. Fast and friendly service though. You order and pick up at the counter and find a table. The place is tiny so it's not good for groups - only 5 tables maybe and a bar counter. We managed to get the one table that was outside. My husband got the lamb gyro and greek fries - he gave them thumbs up. I got the falafel plate - yummy. The falafels were crisp and fresh, although I thought the inside part was a little wet/soggy. Still, better than the often too-dry falafels you get elsewhere. The hummus was delicious and garlicky and the pita bread was warm and soft. Fluffy rice and a fresh salad rounded out the falafel plate. I'll be back for takeout! Nice that they have a few private parking spots for patrons. :) read more

I am so glad I finally tried this place. Was waiting for a friend, ravenous & in the area, thought I'd check out what other Yelpers seemed to like. from the moment I walked in I was impressed by the attentive & engaged staff, & wow my gyro was done & in my hands by the time I finished paying! and it was super delicious! very generous on the meat, & I see they offer an even meatier version for a couple bucks more. next time I'll add extra tzatziki cuz I like sauce, & try the fries that other patrons were obviously enjoying. I'll probably do Take Out next time cuz the dining area is small. besides the tasty gyro, I'll definitely be back because of the staff; they really seemed to care about the business, & appreciate my patronage. & there were lots of regulars in that small space, a good sign. With all the choices to dine in the area, I wanna do business with local merchants who deserve it! read more

Made to order crisp lettuce tangy olives tomato and spice baba tahini and your choice. very nice staff get it rolling.

It's so great to see what a great owner this place has. Not only does his business turns out awesome food, he has such a great personality! He talks to each and everyone who comes in like family. That's what a great place with great good and people is all about. I travelled quite a bit and always use the help of local Yelpers. You've done it again Yelpers! Thank you! As for Mr. Gyro, you turn out great, fresh food . Your lamb shwarma had chunks of perfectly cooked lamb and your lamb gyro comes from a lamb cone and this the way authentic gyro are put together when ordered. Great food! read more
