Food came out quickly, and the gyro is definitely the highlight here, although they have plenty of other options to choose from. I had the gyro platter with rice, and it was very good. The portion was generous, and I left feeling full. The Greek salad however was disappointing and lacked everything Greek about it. My only complaint was the white plastic plates and forks. I'd rather not have hot food served on plastic, but otherwise it was a good meal. read more

We finally tried this place. The wife and I have been searching for a new go to Gyros spot since Gyros West closed down. We each got the Gyros combo to go. The flavor was great. The sauce is a little too thin for my liking but good overall. I couldn't finish it since there was enough meat for 2 gyros. My wife on the other hand finished her gyro in record time. Will visit again. Forgot to take a picture before I started eating. read more

We have been passing by this place for years! So glad we stopped in today! Hearty gyro with lots of strong lamb flavor, good blend. Some of the onions were stringy & needed to take them out. Tzatziki was chunky & fresh. Fries were deliciously! The pineapple custard shake took it over the top and made it a 5*. Wowwee! Friendly & quick service and a nice clean shop with easy pick up! read more

I ordered a vegetarian gyro in drive through. When I got home I opened the package and found that there was no vegetarian gyro. Just iceberg lettuce, a couple slices of tomato, and onion. Was this a joke? If I wanted a salad I would have ordered a salad. read more

I habe been here a few times, and the food is always good. This was the busiest I've seen it, and they have us a heads up that the order would take a little longer than normal. The only downside on this meal was there were lots of crunchy bits of gyro meat (the burnt ends of gyro meat) instead of it being all softish. But you could tell everyone in the restaurant was working hard. They are always friendly. I enjoy coming here. It seems like it was the place to be on this particular Friday night. read more

If you're near the airport and looking for something different, I definitely recommend stopping by this spot. The food was excellent, but the service really enhanced the experience. You can tell that the staff in the back not only care about the quality of the food but also about the interactions with customers. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Excellent food , huge portions fast service. My favorite gyro! First stop whenever I'm in Milwaukee.

Omg. After a night of carousing at the Packing House, I'm thinking of roasted meat and deep flavor. I pull into the drive through at Oakland Gyros and within 7 minutes, emerge with a super juicy chicken shish kebab sandwich. I'm reasoning with myself it's 0 points on my Weight Watchers program if I don't eat the juice-soaked pita bread or unctuous tzatziki sauce. Unable to resist digging I. Until I'm home, I bite into a few succulent pieces of roasted chicken and....sigh. So hungry and suddenly satiated. At home I open an overstuffed roasted chicken sandwich on pita bread and open the top of thick pungent tzatziki sauce; I can't resist. I pull apart the pita and dip in the thick spreadable garlicky sauce. This is the real deal. Avoided ordering Packing House $56.00 steak knowing my $10.00 soul-satisfying sandwich was blocks away. Yum. No one does this better. read more

Ordered on my way to watch wrestling at a friends a gyro platter with extra sauce and a diet Pepsi got it to my friends place sink my teeth into it and it was delicious. The employees were friendly although I had to go and park for a couple of moments. It wasn't long before I received my mail so that I could go, but there was a car as I was about to leave that was sitting forever, allowing me not to leave I swear I sat there for at least 10 minutes. The damn car didn't know how to cross the street and turn left. That was annoying, but I always love the fries and the food once I get it this is a nice quick restaurant to get food at. I still wanna try some of their other food items, but I think it's run by good people and it helps that I know it's family run kind of. read more

We have been dining at Oakland gyros for over 20 years and stop about once every other week or so. Why you ask? Well, portions are huge, quality is great, service is fast and friendly and prices are very reasonable. I travel quite a bit for work and since there is a location near the MKE airport, my routine is to stop here, pull up to the drive through and place our regular order. This order contains the chicken shiskabob with rice, the beef shiskabob with fries and the fried eggplant. Note that I've had almost everything on the menu and have found that the 3 things mentioned are best for feeding my family of 5 (3 teenagers!). I honestly cannot recall a time where we have been left disappointed as they just do things right each and every time. Besides the great service, great food and reasonable prices, I truly appreciate the consistency as I know I am going to get a great meal each & every time. This seems rare and keeps me coming back time and time again. read more

Gyros are always top notch. My pops loves the chicken strips. They never disappoint with the food or service.

I've been going to Oakland Gyros for more than 20 yrs and the food has always been great. This time I got a gyro, my usual but I could tell the meat wasn't as flavorful and it was kinda mushy unlike the meat in the past and the pita was also doughy & chewy. I did not like it at all. Idk if it was just a bad day but the food was definitely different. I will try it one more time just to make sure but I know what I know. The drive-thru service was great, quick and polite. Oakland Gyros on Layton Ave read more

Great food and service. Ambiance is what it has always been. I always get the gyro with the Greek fries and it never disappoints.

Absolutely love this place they are open late food is good service is good and the prices are not to bad either

Was looking for a restaurant that served healthy non fast food and I found one of the best restaurants I have eaten at in many years! The flavor was rich There was three times the amount of beef I expected. Onions, tomato, sweet pepper, feta, olive, cucumber sauce, bread! Absolutely delicious. I tried four dishes and they were all fantastic! And the price was low and the value great. I highly recommend Oakland Gyros. I will go back again tomorrow. read more

First time at this location. I usually eat at the one on the north side. Maybe the Original has a little more uniqueness because of its location and the building itself, but the food is very much on par at both places. Customer service is top notch for a counter service fast food restaurant. Impressive how fast everybody works behind the counter.... Like a well oiled machine! I stopping during the dinner hour and I have to say the order line was a little long. (Only one person taking orders) It did take a little while to place my order, but once it was in, the food came out pretty quickly and was fresh, hot and tasty. Everyone was friendly from the guy who took my order to the man who handed me my meal when they called my number. I had the Gyro Platter. Plenty of food, and I really like that they are once again handing out ketchup and Tzatziki sauce bottles (instead of packets and cups) once again. I do like that this restaurant is close to the airport. Gives me a much better option (vs fast food chains) when I'm in a hurry to catch a plane or heading home from my flight. read more

Oakland Gyros - Gyro Patter - Greek Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Seeing the Greek Freak so it's only right to get Greek food. Before heading to the Bucks game, I had to stop by @oakland_gyros_restaurant. This place isn't just the best--it's filled with some of my favorite childhood memories. Growing up, I loved when my parents brought home Oakland Gyros. Everything on their menu is fresh, flavorful, and cooked to order. And the service? Top-notch. IYKYK read more

Food, service - always good. Gyros are filled with plenty of meat. Fries are hot crispy! Flaming cheese - can't get enough of. read more

Oakland Gyro has been a family favorite for years! Of course you cannot go wrong ordering the gyro plate. Meat slices are perfect thickness and the pita is warmed to perfection. Their menu also features other Mediterranean staples such as falafel, hummus, and tabbouleh, providing a diverse selection for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. The atmosphere is casual and fast-paced, perfect for a quick bite or post-bar food. While the service can be brisk, it's efficient. Overall, it's a go-to spot for comfort food that hits the spot without breaking the bank. read more

Delicious moussaka! And of course the gyros are super yummy! The spanakopita can be hit or miss. Portion size is very generous -- you can easily share your meal, or plan on having some tasty leftovers. The atmosphere and service is very casual. You order and pay at the counter, and are given a ticket to pick up your order. Beverages are self service. (However, if you need assistance, they will bring your order out to you.) The dining room is clean, as well as the restrooms. There's ample seating inside, and they have a brisk drive-thru business. read more

Always remembered this place as having the best Gyros. Don't get me wrong when a place gives you a healthy portion of meat you shouldn't complain. Way too much meat to pita. read more

Simply the best! Whether you are dining in or going through the drive-thru, you'll have a delicious experience. The gyros are what they are known for, but I'm a huge fan of the chicken. It's juicy and flavorful. I usually order the chicken shish-kabob platter with half salad and half fries. The best part of the meal is the squeeze bottle of tzatziki sauce. The restaurant is clean and packed with customers. The platter costs around $16 but you will have plenty of leftovers! So happy to have this wonderful place on the southside! read more

Delicious. Quick. Great Service. Solid place. We were by the MKE airport and wanted to find a place close by for a quick and hearty meal. I saw this place (with amazing reviews) and decided to give it a try. What I loved was the drive thru (how cool is that?) and how fast everything was ready. The food itself was packed well and the portions were huge (prices are super reasonable). I liked the Greek Salad (there are HUGE chunks of cheese) and my guest liked his gyro. The portions were huge but he wished the gyro meat were slightly more charred. I ordered the chicken kabobs and the portion will feed me for a few days! The chicken was very moist and tasty. I also ordered the lemon soup (okay) and a shake (very sweet). I definitely recommend this place for a fresh, quick and filling meal by the airport. Very glad to find this place! read more

Oakland Gyros - Gyro Original, Chicken Shishkabob, Greek Salad - Greek Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The food at Oakland Gyros is the MOST consistent food from any restaurant in this city. I believe I can speak for the city when I say that. I have been there so many different days and it doesn't matter what time or what you order, the staff service is polite. You don't have to wait an hour for your order. The ambiance has been the same since I was a young kid. It's always clean and neat in the joint. Nothing fancy but clean. My favorite dish is the Athenian chicken with salad. The chicken slides off the bone every single time. Awesome! read more

Fast and amazing service! The workers are all super chill and I love how it's one of the only late night spots with actual GOOD food!! The chicken/steak kabob platters are amazing and I crave it all the time!! read more

Where do I start? I used to go to the one on Oakland/Locust when I attended RUHS in the 90s before moving away to Texas! However, I ALWAYS come here when I'm in WI, even I have no family in MKE. I tell all my friends about this must try place when in town. I believe I'm their unofficial ambassador. :) Been to this location a few times as it's closer to Kopps! Spoke to the lady behind the register and she is the owner's wife. Ordered 2 gyro platters and everything was good. Love their quick service, friendly staffs and cleanliness of the restaurant. Can't wait to go back on my next visit! read more

Have lived in the area for 15+ years and somehow never went here. Reviews were great and we were craving gyro before going on a long trip where no restaurants would be around. Due to having a fractured ankle I went though the drive thru. I had a few minor questions such as what garnishes came with the plate vs the sandwich. There were no cars behind me at the time. I pulled around and asked the employee how we was doing today. He took my credit card and told me to pull forward where they'll later bring me the food. I said thanks and began to shift my vehicle into drive when I heard the employee say "Hey pendejo" while handing me a plastic number. I looked at him in disbelief and pulled forward. I'm married to a Hispanic woman and I certainly knew he was calling me an idiot and/or a$$hole in Spanish slang. I waited for the food and an assistant manager ran the food out to me. At that time I informed him of the employees insanely rude behavior. He simply told me "I try telling them more people understand what they say than they realize. Thanks for letting me know." And patted me on the shoulder before walking back inside! I took the food home and it was missing nearly all of the garnish I had paid for. We will NEVER go back after that completely unnecessary and disgustingly rude behavior. I'm not looking for free food, but a pat on the shoulder after being called an idiot and a$$hole for no good reason is NOT customer service. I worked in the restaurant business as a server for several years and am always overly polite to staff. So disappointed! read more

So. Good. They have the thickest slices of gyro meat I've ever seen and it's awesome. Getting a full bottle of tzatziki sauce is awesome too. Great service and great food read more

I was here this morning with my kids. Food was great but one of the employees, around 5'7, square glasses, little belly. Was sitting on his phone when we came in, and he was also vaping. He did our order wrong as well. And I saw him in the back picking his nose. Overall horrible experience and not family friendly, especially the vaping. Won't be coming back. read more

Totally unexpected from a drive-thru gyro place. I was staying nearby at a hotel and wanted a salad for dinner. Oakland Gyros had really good reviews and I love Greek food. I was skeptical about a fast food type of place but holy cow, this place delivered on those positive reviews! SO MUCH FOOD!!! I just ordered a salad with gyro added. For $11 I got a massive amount of great quality food. Lasted me days. So tasty and very fresh. I highly recommend if you're looking for a quick dinner outside of the chain restaurant norm. read more

I drove through the Layton location and was shocked at how good the food is and how much there is for the price. 1 chicken + gyro platter with fries and green salad is like 3-4 meals. The meat in particular was delicious. Great tzatziki, seasonings, dressing. So convenient and fast. I'll be back! read more

I'm not sure if I just ordered incorrectly but I wasn't a huge fan. Portions were great and the staff was nice. They also gave us an ice cream for my toddler which was nice too. The meat was just tougher than expected and the fries were wet straight from the drive through. read more

Fantastic place. You have to try it. Portions are spectacular and the service is beyond spectacular

We love the gyros. Do not like that we have to pay for extra tzatziki sauce if we get a to go order whereas when we eat there we can get an entire bottle of tzatziki sauce for free. Recommend eating there to avoid extra takeout charges. read more

Good food, great service, and the ambiance is lovely. They have many choices, either many filling options.

Last time I ate at this place they gave me food poison. I will never go there again. I used to love the food. But I'm not gonna take that chance again. read more

The vegetarian gyro was great! It's a large portion of their flavorful greek salad with a fluffy pita foundation. The cheese sticks are also good. The restaurant was very clean and decorated with a greek theme. I always take a moment to just look around the restaurant and appreciate the decor. It's really well done. Staff was nice, upbeat and quick. read more
