I woke up this morning and said to myself, "self, you need to have a good gyro today for lunch." After polling my family and Yelp results, I found Sam's and I'm really glad that I did! No one was there on a Saturday around lunch time. We ordered from a pleasant fellow at the counter who quickly put our beef/lamb gyro sandwiches together. Everything was super fresh. Our order of fries were fried to order. Two gyro sandwiches, one order of fries, and one beverage came out to $22 even. They'll take your card but a nearby sign says that they prefer cash. I didn't see anything about those dumb credit card fees, so hopefully that doesn't exist. The place seemed quite clean. No concerns there. There are several tables for dine-in. There is no outdoor seating. When we arrived, the pleasant fellow was jamming out to what I would describe as trendy Miami Beach hotel lobby music - a little bit dance club, a little bit ambient beats. He turned it down, but maybe should have turned it off. If it was left at the original volume, I'd have docked a star just for the hit to the already limited ambiance. The food was STELLAR. I commented to my favorite dining companion that we could come back for a gyro anytime. He agreed. The pita bread was toasted perfectly, the veggie components of the sandwiches were fresh and bright, the meat was pre-cut from the rotisserie but was perfect and plentiful. You'll have to eat some of the sandwich insides before you can fold it taco style and finish it, so grab a fork and dig in. The fries were those chunky style ones that were fried to crisp perfection and dusted with a seasoned salt of some sort. I did not check to see if the Heinz ketchup at the table is actually Heinz or if they are refilling the bottles (iykyk). The sandwich is plenty for lunch - you don't need fries or a side to get a filling meal. The location is easy enough to get in and out of for a quick escape if you order takeout. I did notice an advertisement for delivery, but it wasn't Uber Eats, Grubhub, or DoorDash. I'll be back! I do love a gyro but I plan to try the salads and platters. I hope you stop in and give it a try! Enjoy! read more

Too much seasoning Need bigger menu Pricing ok but need fresher meat Fries cooked to order read more

Delicious! Had the salad with grilled chicken. The seasoning on the chicken was perfect. All of the ingredients in my salad were super fresh. Will return!! So glad to have a place with healthy options! read more

Great service. Quick place to grab food. The lamb plate was great. I'll definitely be going back.

Everything is perfect here. I'd come every day if I could! Super friendly and absolutely load you up with food.

The food here is OUTSTANDING!! Combo plate includes a salad, a giant pita, rice and chicken or lamb for under $13. Incredible Value!

This place is amazing if you enjoy gyros. The service was great, the gyros were delicious with large portions and the restaurant was clean. My only suggestion would be to put more seasoning on the fries. We will definitely eat at Sam's Gyros on a regular basis! read more

The food was good, the service was good too. The bathroom was not clean and it ruined my experience.

One of the best tasting places in BG! Highly recommended! Very friendly, could be a little cleaner.

Had lunch at the Sams gyro on Campbell Lane for the first time with my son! He was already a fan of the place now I am too! Will definitely go again! Food was delicious and fresh! Staff was so courteous and friendly! I like the home feel of the environment!!! Highly recommend trying it! read more

Went for lunch with our daughter, in a strip next to Kroger. Not a lot of seating. Service was fast and food very fresh. Love that you can customize your toppings. I had a gyro with beef, my wife had the salad with chicken, our daughter had the chicken gyro lunch plate. Very generous and tasty. We will be back. read more

Sam's Gyros - Falafel on pita bread, with hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, and tabbouleh. - Mediterranean Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

The beef gyro platter is amazingly tasty and a wonderful value and the art on the walls are very fun to look at while waiting for takeout! Fresh and delicious food! read more

My husband & I had greek salads with gyro meat. Although the meat had good flavor, it was soggy. Also, the tziki sauce, which was the dressing for the salad, tasted more like mayonnaise rather than traditional tziki. It wasn't horrible, just not a personal preference. We also had a side of hummus with pita. The pita was warm & soft & had good flavor, the hummus was ok. read more

This place is incredibly over priced. My husband and I got the falafel plate s, and they were $13! We also ordered hummus, and it was spoiled... Like literally fermenting, and the worker didn't want to let us choose something else. I would have gone to a NICE restaurant for $13 a piece. Never going back. read more

my mom and I were greeted and served by James. He was so nice and gave outstanding customer service. Gave us a generous portion, free baklava for both of us, and a discount for being our first time. He made our day and we won't forget it. Of course, the food was incredible and you can't beat the price. Highly Recommend read more

If you're gonna be open 11-9 be sure you're open at 11 or change your hours that's just where I'm at oh and thank you for just looking at me through the window and not saying or doing anything. read more

I've been seeing these Sam's Gyro spots pop up in big malls and little strip malls from Louisville to Bowling Green and I'm not sure who's behind the spread but based on what I had at this location off Campbell Lane near the Kroger's is just damn good for gyros. Makes me feel like Iron Man in the Avengers getting my shawarma on. The gyros are chocked full of whatever fresh topping you choose, along with chicken or the shawarma you can watch them shave off the spit. Just good, simple stuff and I hope a Sam's of this quality comes to somewhere near my place of work. I would stop by regularly. read more

Sam's Gyros - Mediterranean Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Sam's Gyros is one of the best Greek restaurants in town. The people who prepare and serve the food to you are fast and friendly. The prices are outstanding and I am still not sure how they are able to make such wonderfully authentic Greek food at such a reasonable price. I have frequented every greek restaurant in town and this by far is my favorite. Yes, it is in a strip mall, but do not let that fool you. This is going to become one of mine and my family's favorite hangouts. The gyros of course are wonderful, but my favorite by far is the baba ghanouj. I cannot wait to try the falafel and olive wrap next time. It is also exciting that they serve quail! read more

Best Mediterranean/Greek/Egyptian food I have ever had. Amazing Price for the amount of food you get. Don't be afraid to try the beef or something else that you may typically not try; I am sure it is good. read more

Nothing fancy but one of our favorite places to eat...and their falafel is why! It's not on the menu so do yourself a favor and ask for it. Sandwich with great, fresh fries or a platter with rice and flatbread. Get the toppings you want. Gyros are good, too. Staff is friendly. read more

Sam's Gyros - Falafel isn't on the menu but you'll be glad you asked for it! - Mediterranean Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Very good especially when the guy who usually runs it is there . He hooks you up ! Great gyro!

Very quick, best sauce I've had from a gyro restaurant. Gyro was very well seasoned. Fair price all around. A little outdated atmosphere. Overall highly recommend read more

Went for lunch today based on the reviews. Was hoping it would be better than the Sam's at the mall but I was mistaken. My gyro meat was barely warm and tasted salty...the rice was not very tasty and the white sauce? It tasted like nothing but watered down sour cream. Very disappointed. read more

Food is always amazing. Highly recommend the rice pilaf with the gyro. Service is always quick and kind and I love how convenient the location is. read more

It was cute and clean place! I had the chicken platter it came with rice salad and gyro . It was around six dollars. Lots of food for great price. My husband ordered the chicken gyro and it was around five dollars very good. We both pleased with our food and the fast service we will be back! read more

Great Gyros! Looking forward to trying more things from the menu. Excellent place to eat. First time I've tried it and will be frequenting often. read more

This place was absolutely fabulous! The food is very delicious and fairly priced. I wish I lived closer to this place so I could eat here often! The only thing better than the food is the owner. He was so knowledgeable and helpful when my boyfriend was picking out food (never had Mediterranean before) and even gave him something's to try so he'd know exactly what to get. I wish I could give 10 stars read more

This is a Subway style fast food gyro place but it is really good! The fries were extra crispy as well and all of the gyro toppings and fillings were fresh and tasty. Good for a quick pre-movie meal. read more

this is probably the best "drunk food" out there. not saying you need to be drunk to enjoy it, but if you ever had a craving or 'the munchies' this is it. I always get the mixed platter with plenty of white sauce. and trust me, that enough for a meal plus some for later. read more

Since this restaurant has opened next to Kroger, I have frequented four times... so quite often in the past month. I've tried nearly every dish on the menu, and I like what I am tasting. The service is five times faster than A Taste of Europe and less than half the price of Anna's Greek restaurant. The owner knows what he is doing. He is friendly, reasonable with prices, and fast on the grill. If you are looking for delicious gyro, look no further. Simple dishes with more than adequate portions are served. My wife and I have ordered a variety of side dishes (grape leaves, falafel, hummus, etc.) to split with a dinner plate. It is awesome to be able to enjoy such variety without breaking the bank. The food is consistent from one experience to the next. After eating here, you won't be worrying about the inadequacy of the kitchen (I.e., Anna's odd ingredient substitutions or A Taste of Europe's painfully slow prep). You will eat... talk... and then be on your way. The ambiance of the restaurant could use authentic music that does not loop quite so often. There is a musical hook that plays over and over again on menu screens. The music here is not necessary, and the richness of the menu would be more greatly appreciated if there were more variety in the background music. read more

Great gyros at a great price, I keep trying to venture out and get something different but I can't help myself I end up getting a gyro every time. The falafel is also very good and has a nice spice dipped in hummus. I hope to try the quail one day if I can get past my addiction to guros. read more

My wife and I had the gyro combo. The rice with the cucumber sauce was a nice option. The gyro and the rice were both delicious.

My wife and I tried this place and found then to have delicious gryos, with great portions, at a good price. We'll definitely return to try other items on the menu. read more

Can't decide whether I love the chicken or the lamb more. Both amazing. Great place that stays open late with very reasonable proves, especially at lunch. I'll be coming back for sure. Although it looks really plain at the location, you can't beat the food. Now there's a location in the mall! Even better! read more

Just visiting the area, but this place makes me want to stay longer! The owner was amazingly nice. They gave us a free sample which was a small cup of a little bit of everything, and made me want more! Very reasonable prices and TONS of food. Ambiance wasn't great, would have been much better without the music video channel streaming. The food more than makes up for it. We would definitely eat here again when we're back in Bowling Green. read more
