How are you going to charge $8 for a salad with no meat and forget the dressing every time? I really should stop wasting my money here as you can't seem to get the simple things right. If I didn't have to go back to work I'd definitely drive back to complain. How about implementing a system to check order accuracy? If you have one already, maybe implement one that works? read more

I've been coming here for years! I moved back to Seminole so it wasn't as easy to stop and grab a bite. Lately the fries have not had the Cajun seasoning on them in awhile and the wings just wasn't doused in as much mild sauce. It's always been good but I noticed a change. I have been craving wings and since today is my Friday I decided to do order Uber eats and they had SALEMS! I ordered my regular and for it taking 15 min to get here because of the distance it was freakin' FABULOUS! They even had the Cajun seasoning and it had plenty of sauce on the wings! I called them just to tell them how perfect it was and that the cook "T" did a fantastic job! Gotta build people up instead of dragging them down! read more

This is our first time at Salem. We ordered a shrimp bowl, gyros, cheeseburger, chicken tenders, Philly steak sandwich, shrimp dinner. The fries were great. The shrimp bowl was very filling and tasty. It was very good. The gyros needed more onions and sauce. The chicken tenders were juicy and flavorful. The phliiy steak needed more cheese. Otherwise, it was good The food was very hot and obviously cooked when ordered. The only downfall was the price. The order was $52. This was more than expected for seven sandwiches. read more

I love this place. I fluctuate from vegetarian to pescatarian and this is somewhere I can always find something delicious to eat. Just ordered the hot veggie sub with everything and the rice and beans today. Its enough to share for sure. The veggie sub isnt on the drive thru menu but you can ask for it and it's so dang good. This is also coming from someone who isnt particularly into subs in general. But this one is awesome. Its super flavorful and satisfying so you dont feel like your missing out just cuz its vegetarian. I've also had the fish gyros before and those were great too. Someone mentioned not to order from a food delivery service and I agree. Everytime weve done that the food just doesnt taste the same. You gotta eat it hot and fresh. Salem's is definitely a nice change from the typical fast food spots in the area. The food is great, portions are big and the prices are def good. read more

Got the Gyro and Fries combo. Not bad. Came here after McDonald's showed their behinds. I will come back here before I ever return to McDonald's. read more

This place has some amazing Gyros! And the service is also killer!! Jay was so friendly and welcoming. They are also open super late night!

Food is delicious, good price, manager and staff working hard to get everyone's order out. This is my go to place. There was a bump in the road about a year ago but management stepped up their game, thank you. I'll be back and will tell others. read more

Saniyah showed complete fast and efficient service during a late evening rush hour she deserves the up most praise and reward thank you so much Salems for the great customer service. read more

They completely messed up my order and the staff laughed when I complained. Even the manager was unprofessionally. Will never go back.

Best place EVER! Happened by the drive - thru and their Gyros and Greek salads were best ever. I literally took pictures for my daughter and even brought her home a menu. Black beans & rice or salad may be substituted for fries at no extra charge. Fresh chopped onion on request...& if ya don't like yellow rice, they'll double up on the black beans. The original gyro (or you can get fish or chicken or shrimp) is so good, I can't believe how much is piled on...I loooovvveedd it... so tender & plentiful that I could sneak in fridge, grab a handful of meat, heat it up & munch for snack & ya couldn't even tell on the sandwich!! Milkshakes so good! Philly steak & cheese piled on, Cuban was good as well! Did I mention how immaculate this place is? Oh yea...it is also open til 4:00 a.m. What a find!!! read more

This qas my 1st time eating here, and it was such a bummer. Giving two star because the $1 milkshake & cheese fries were good. The chicken sandwich not good! The few pieces of lettuce allotted were just gross, super rotten & old trash lettuce. I also didn't realize it was just chicken tenders on a bun not an actual chicken breast. Too cumbersome. I paid $13 for a $5 meal that i could only eat part of. Not worth the wait, time, or money. Rebate please!! read more

As far as fast food delivered hot and tasty, Salem's is really good. Their call-in order system leaves much on the table. They are consistent with getting the orders rights but have zilch counter presence, seldom greeting their customers (even to say 'be with you soon'). On more than 3 occasions, the phone rings and puts you in voicemail. This week, I called to place an order 6 times and each went to voicemail. If the calls are monitored for 'training purposes' as stated, lessons are being lost. The new location opening up south of the one at 9th and 34th should get off to a better start and listen to their customers. read more

Today at 1pm the gyro I got from the drive thro was awesome. I eat here a decent amount but it was just hot fresh and done right today. The pita was soft, the portions were generous and there was a right amount of toppings. The fries were piping hot. I'm glad you have a better ketchup now, too. Lunch was great. The service was good, too. Thank you read more

I've given Salem's another try and so far its been good. Devon was helpful and fixed a reward issue. Also, nice to have the online app back for ordering! Navigation in the app is a bit odd, but it works and you can pay ahead again. Cook to order is great, but be prepared to wait in the drive thru - probably best to plan on going inside to pick up. read more

i went here late one night and there was only two other people inside, it was nice that i could go inside and order instead of a car line since my car was broken at the time, it was fast for being fresh the only issue is id perfer to have gotten the tenders vs the sandwhich cause the texture was weird with the bread and lettuce. nice workers. read more

Can't say enough about Salem's! Everything on their menu is delicious (although, admittingly, l can't bring myself to order the fried gizzards!). Gyro & Cobb salads are my personal favorites, as well as the Shrimp Gyro. Always a pleasant experience when l'm there. Place is clean and Christi is awesome! Portions are generous, as well as reasonably priced. Takes just a little longer for your food, because it is made fresh and well worth it! Avoid the major fast food joints and give Salem's a try! read more

Been years since I've dined at this Salem's. Pulled in eager to get a few quick gyros. I noticed they've expanded their menu a ton. The menu is dynamic and turns pages to see pictures of the items. I enjoyed the gyros but they did come with more yogurt than I like had to wipe the excess off. The curly fries were alright but the 5.00 price exceed the amount of fries I got. read more

Ok I get that you make this fresh but 20 min waiting in the drive thru is insane... don't have a drive thru. Would give zero.. so mad

Are you kidding me? Why am I just now discovering this late night spot? Came here for the first time at 2:45am since nothing else was really open. Ordered a chicken philly. The cashier in the drive through was so nice and polite I was shocked(especially with it being 3am). Usually you're served by someone half asleep at this time. But anywho, service was amazing, food was really good and cooked to order. Shout out to the guy/gal that made my sandwich. Give everyone a raise because you earned yourself a life long late night buyer(and I'm up late a lot). read more

Food is properly cooked and packaged. I was disappointed that the size of the order was reduced significantly from my previous orders.

First visit, tried fried Oysters and they were awful. 2nd visit, had Gyros. The Gyros meat was cold and the bread was very cold! The worst Gyros I have ever had ! read more

This place was amazing. Way better than zaxbys which is similar but near my house. I which Salem's was in Orlando or more specifically Casselberry FL. And you're open till 4am!! Thats amazing! Thank u!! read more

Salem's is the cooler, lesser known, but actually still alive brother of Miami Subs. By that, I mean its basically a fast food sub place with a crazy menu and everything is delicious and you can get mounds of food for dirt cheap. At first you arrive thinking maybe I want a gyro - but then you see they have cheese steaks, fried seafood, wings, subs and- really, chicken gizzards? Ok, so maybe I won't try EVERYTHING on the menu, but I have tried a lot. Their Gyros are delicious, packed to the brim, but yet easily eatable (Salem's better than Little Greek). Granted you don't get the same quality as you would at a Greek restaurant or Tarpon Springs, but again, you're getting fast food. The cheese steaks are also surprisingly good. Not better than Philly Phlava, but good enough. I actually did try the calamari. Yes, it is frozen, but for $4 it had decent flavor. My friends have devoured the shrimp skewers before, though its one thing I still need to try. I highly recommend getting a combo as if you're feeling crazy you can get a combo that has a gyro and wings. Seriously, the side is wings, how can you beat that. Also fork over for a shake. I'm partial to the pina colada, but I'm sure they're all great. read more

So first thing I thought when I came here was that it reminded me of a Miami Subs. Heck, it even looked like one from the outside. But there menu is much more creative. I ordered the fried shrimp and was able to substitute the fries with yellow rice and black beans. I also got an order of fried mushrooms and a gyro. The food was delicious. The fried shrimp was fresh and crispy and for 9.99 for a half pound shrimp meal, that's not too bad. The fried mushrooms were good too, my only complaint was that there was not too much in the order. The gyro I couldn't eat fresh due to being full but even reheated I could tell it was good quality, and there was plenty of meat in the sandwich. This place is busy and the drive though took some time to get the food, but I didn't mind because I know they cook to order. Overall a great fast food joint! read more

I swear that I have written a review for this place before. I do not come here unless I am tired of checkers and I am looking forward to a good meal. I came here expecting excellent service, and that is what I got. $10.69, got me five wings, a gyro , and a small drink. This is probably the second most busiest location on 34th street in St. Pete.,the first is located in the 1700 block of34th street south. The need for,I wouldn't say heLthy, but real food compared to checkers or some other place such as McDonalds. I recommend it only if you like to try some food that is not your typical fast food and you are in the mood to wait for the real food to come out. None of that processed meat that you may be used to at those other joints. Make sure you know that you will spend an average of 6-10 depending on what it is that you order. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Salem, the owner. He is a true American story, he came here from Tunisia, started out washing dishes, and attained the American dream through hard work and perseverance! Through talking to him, I found him to be interested in my opinion, and customer oriented. Also, he loves food. This is what food should be about. I felt like he genuinely cared. Two thumbs up!! read more

So what I love is the food is so consistent! And the fries are the bomb! Great wings & a really good price. You have to wait - but it's because they make everything fresh which I appreciate! read more

The best "off beat" fast food joint around. When you want something other than burgers chicken or tacos, this is a good option. I have been by many other Salem franchises, but this one is the cleanest. The gyro is awesome. Both the chicken and lamb are great. Go on Tuesdays and get two for one! read more

Good place to Gyros and misc hot stuff. Fair prices, but the dine in is kinda shabby, but what do you expect for fast food? If your passing and need a cheap fast bite, drop in. I use this place for a dinner out though, you wont be impressing anyone with taking them there :) read more

Pat Chicola here,was in the hospitality business for 42yeard and one of the worst things you can do is serve a customer the wrong food!??We go to the Salem's on 34st&9avN., up to 6 times a month and the food is really good but this time we got the wrong food!?!? And we use the drive-thru soooo we ate what we were given because it was a long drive to go back and we were hungry!!!! Just please check your orders!!! Also we ordered the original gyros but got chicken and Dr.Pepper not Mr.Pibb!?!? read more

I had the worse experience in this place ever... after waiting for 30 min in my car on the drive thru, they gave me the wrong food. The staff was rude, including the manager, that never apologize neither tried to make it right. I would review the food but never got serve since they were more concern to take my money then serve me a meal. Never coming back. read more

I ordered online to prevent waiting for me and my co-workers. During my half hour break decided to go pick it up. However they don't start cooking the food till you get there which is stupid and ridiculous. Got the food which ate up my half hour break, when I got back to work we were missing half of the order... I tried to call them since they charge me for the food that we never got. Their response was "come pick it up; or, next time we'll give you the food" I don't understand why they couldn't just reverse the charge... bunch of geniuses work there... never again will I order from this mediocre Greek food place... read more

This place is hilarious. The menu covers so many different varieties of food that I can't help but laugh every time I come here. It's as if the restaurant doesn't know what it wants to be so it will just incorporate anything! The name of this place is "Salem's Gyros & Subs", but that doesn't give the menu justice! A more fitting name would be "Salem's Gyros, Subs, Fried Shrimp, Fried Oysters, Fried Chicken Gizzards, Chicken Wings, & More!" Although the food isn't all that great to me, it's not all that bad in taste. The variety of food, although being hilariously weird, gives you a lot to choose from. Being opened really late is a plus too. read more

PROS- GREAT RICE!!! Amazing rice! THE SERVICE WAS EXCELENT !!! Real nice people! CONS- i ate an Original Lamb Gyro, I LOVE LAMB AND GYROS AND JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT GYROS! Anywas, the Meat tasted like nasty boiled meat without seasoning. The onions were not even close to fresh... Like it was eating an apple...ew. And the pita wasnt even cooked... It was just stale... Sorry but, never going back. read more

Ordered wings and fries through door dash; expected delivery time 30 minutes after order. Then expected time changed to 50 minutes after order. After waiting the full 50 minutes my order was canceled because it "could not be fulfilled". Just wish they could have let me know half an hour ago so Im not already starving. read more

Their menus is all over the place everything is good but nothing stands out as sublime. I usually get a Gyro combo it's pretty good and the portions big. The kitchen is slow but that's because the really don't start making it till you order it. The one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet are their milkshakes they are awesome. So go for the food, stay for the milkshakes. And, as a previous reviewer mentioned, do the drive thought the inside isn't all that great. The parking lot can be a little confusing, you can go around the building by going kind of behind it off of 9th toward the hotel next door, turn left at the alley then cut back left into the parking lot past the drive through this will let you line up at the drive through without running out into 9th. (Does that make any sense? I don't even know, you'll see when you get there) read more

Recently I wrote a review for the Salem's on East Hillsborough Avenue. They got 4 stars, and probably deserved 5. I passed by another Salem's yesterday, on 34th street here in St. Petersburg. I thought to myself "there's NO WAY this one is as good as the E. Hillsborough Ave location." I made a u-turn and went in........Wrong Again! This location is just as good as the other. They get an extra star just for the consistency of the company. Once again, I ordered a 1/2 lb. fried shrimp platter, and asked for rice and beans instead of french fries. This time the combo with drink cost exactly $9.62 (same as the other store) and no charge for the substitution. The food was truly great! This meal, in a traditional restaurant with full service would have been about $15 to $18 for the entree, and you would have paid a buck or two for the drink, then tax and a tip. So overall, the comparative price would have been about $24. I hope they don't read this review and change their prices! The service here was efficient and friendly, and I left happy. read more

What's the point of having a call in service for you to pickup your food if they don't send in the order. Called in my order, asked about how long, they said 15 minutes. When I walked in and asked about the call in order, they didn't send it to the kitchen. Now I have to wait which I did not want to do. read more

I am glad I got the opportunity to try Salem's. Their menu is just an adventure waiting to happen. I was very happy with the food we ordered. The gyro my boyfriend ordered was very good, the meat was very tender. The black beans and rice I ordered was excellent, the rice cooked just right. Pretty cool for a fast food joint. Why the low rating....the prices. Which by many standards isn't too far off from other fast food places. I just thought it was alot pricier than what I had been told. I will recommend this to anyone who wants something different but warn them that is will cost a little more for the adventure. read more

Usually never have a problem with this location but tonight i placed an online order at 12:25am. It said my order would be ready in 11 mins. I waited 15 minutes before leaving my house. When i get there, there is a group of people in front of me. 30 mins go by before im able to talk to young lady at the register. My order hadnt even been started yet. Another 30 minutes go by before my food is FINALLY ready. And the man in the kitchen told the person up front how that was the 6th time my food had been made, and i also overheard someone tell another in the back to "just throw that shit in the mircrowave". So the philly sandwich i ordered sat on the counter for an hr and then reheated in a microwave. I also asked for onion rings instead of fries with my order but i got fries anyway. And im also pretty sure i was supposed to get more than 3 wings with my #7 combo. I definitely did not receive what i paid for. Highly disappointed read more
