Good food great service family friendly meal was perfect for the night out who would definitely recommend

Skorpios Gyros is one of those rare spots where you can taste the passion in every bite. Their large gyro isn't just "big", it's stacked like the owner is trying to make sure you don't leave hungry. The meats are tender and perfectly seasoned. It's the kind of gyro where you open the wrapper and immediately know you're about to eat something made with pride. The seasoned fries deserve their own shoutout. They come out hot, crispy, and coated in a seasoning blend that actually has flavor, not that weak dusting some places try to pass off as "seasoned." These fries are the type you keep snacking on even when you're full because they're just that good. The tzatziki is creamy, and refreshing. Their baklava is delectable and even their sugar free ones still tastes just as sweet. What really sets Skorpios apart is the owner. You can see him working behind the counter clearly proud of what he's serving. He's one of those hard‑working small‑business guys. Every gyro is wrapped with care, every order is made fresh, and you can tell he genuinely wants people to enjoy the food. That passion shows in the quality, the consistency, and the energy of the place. They offer various delivery options like DoorDash or Grubhub but I tend to enjoy taking the time to sit down in the restaurant and enjoy my food there. I was not disappointed at all with the food. It was very delicious and I will definitely be back again. read more

Skorpios Gyros - Large Chicken Gyro - Greek Near Me - Newark, Ohio

We had not ate at Skorpios since it moved to 21st street. Big mistake. We both had the gyro Greek salad and it is the best we have ever had. Service was great. Very friendly and offered options for dessert. They really have done a nice job on the inside of the building. This use to be a Pizza Hut and they have cleaned it up and made it very comfortable. read more

Though it takes a few minutes to get your food, it is well with the wait. Our family loves this place! We tried the nachos for the first time and they were truly loaded. It was enough for two people. Their feta cheese is so good. The staff is super friendly too. read more

Skorpios Gyros - Large gyro with fries. - Greek Near Me - Newark, Ohio

We were looking for something different for lunch... And we found it. This restaurant is really not much to look at but the food is really good. I would strongly recommend it. I had the extra large gyro with onion rings which I really enjoyed. The extra large gyro is really big - I can't imagine how big the 2xl gyro is or even the dumpster gyro but there was plenty of food. The onion rings were great. Wifie had the gyro salad with chicken which she thought was awesome. They have some lemon and mint water that they make the wifie really liked also. read more

My husband and I love stopping in to Skorpios once or twice a month. They have the best gyro's around! The pitas are warm, soft, and fluffy. The lamb is seasoned perfectly as well. I add banana peppers to mine and it gives it a tangy bite! The service is always friendly, the dining area is always clean, and the food for the price can't be beat! This time we got gyro combo meals with fries and onion rings, fried banana peppers as an appetizer, and 8 piece garlic parm wings. I'd never had their wings before, so I wanted to try them. While they're on the small side, they sure packed a lot of flavor! These wings are breaded with a nicely seasoned breading. The garlic parm sauce was delicious. My favorite food in the area! read more

I visited Skorpios a few days ago and quite enjoyed my visit. I came in for take-out but appreciated the clean, simple, low key set up of their seating area. I'll definitely consider eating in in the future. I ordered a small gyro combo (which included fries and a drink). The small gyro is on a 6" pita and comes with choice of meat (lamb, beef, or chicken) and lettuce, tomato, and onion. I believe cheese is extra; this isn't my favorite because feta seems like a staple on a gyro to me. I asked what kind of sauce is used on gyros, and they said gyros get gyro sauce, which the cashier described as similar to Ranch dressing. They also have Skorpio sauce, which is a creamy hot sauce. I asked to sub tzaziki and they were amenable to that switch. Overall, the taste was good! The pita was soft. The meat was well-seasoned and savory, although most of the lamb I got was crumbles, not like strips shaved off a spit. The veggies were crisp and fresh. The tzaziki was good, too. (I saw another review described their tzaziki like mayo. I'm guessing this was the Ranch-like gyro sauce, because the tzaziki I had tasted like traditional yogurt-based cucumber sauce.) The fries had a nice seasoning. I would have liked them a bit crispier, but I think this is a failing of doing take-out. I imagine they'd be great if eaten immediately. (But for future reference, I'll remember to ask for take-out fries to be extra crispy.) Although they had quite a few dessert selections, I didn't get any on this visit. I hope to try some of the homemade baklava they advertise the next time I'm back. read more

I was a bit disappointed by the gyros here. They weren't the worst that I ever had but were by far not the best. I ordered a large lamb gyro and my son had the garbage gyro. They were both very filling but the lamb was very soft and had a ground lamb type of consistency. This was nothing like the traditional gyro I get at better Mediterranean restaurants where they cut the meat off the spit when you order. My wife had a beef gyro and her meat was the same consistency as the lamb. For the price that you pay for their gyros I would expect better. They do however have Frosttop root beer that they serve in a frozen mug. Those are awesome and you definitely want to order that! read more

Delicious food. Gentleman working the register was unbelievably nice. Such a great experience.

Absolutely amazing food highly recommend trying this out for lunch. You will not be disappointed. Not only was the food wonderful but the customer service was fantastic. read more

Very disappointing and we won't go back. The gyro meat was ground and had a BBQ like seasoning. Did not taste like a gyro.

Not impressed. Perhaps the Greek food is much better... I had the chicken and I could've made it at home. It was frozen breaded chicken with some seasoning. The falafel and Tzatziki was good. Won't be in a rush to go back. read more

The food was just okay. All of it needs more spice. The service was great. The ambiance was just okay as well. read more

Skorpios is the best gyros around here. Of course this is one of the few Greek restaurants in the area. The food is fresh tasting. It looks and tastes like it was made from scratch, so this isn't fast food. They still get it out fairly quick. I ordered the three dips special they had. It's about $10 for any three appetizers or dips. The ones I selected were eggplant, falafel, and hummus. Each of these were good individually. They also nicely complimented each other. It comes with several pitas. which are good for holding the falafel, and spreading the eggplant and hummus. The eggplant had a smoky taste. It was almost as good as the hummus. The price is okay considering the amount they give you. It has basic but really good Greek food. Other items include typical stuff like the gyros and pitas. There's a lot of daily specials. read more

I received the worst food poisoning from this place. I ordered the large gyro combo with a side of hummus. Please spear yourself

Great shop for Gyros! Had lunch there today, 3 adults and 1 kid. Our 3 year old enjoyed the chicken tenders and fries and they had juice boxes for kids. We all had lamb gyros - very tasty! I had the large and my wife and mom had the small. The large gyro plus fries is PLENTY of food. My wife and mom both had greek salads: well done, generous portion. I had the tabbouleh which was fresh and tasty, but if I'm honest I'd say needs more cracked wheat (ratio of herbs to wheat was off) and a touch more lemon juice and olive oil. Give this local business a try, it's a gem! read more

Hard to find Greek food in this area but Skorpios is a solid choice. Recommend getting gyro with seasoned fries to throw on top, add tzatziki. Don't forget the root beer! read more

Great restaurant. I really enjoyed the juicy gyro. The fries were good with a little sweet spice sprinkled on it. I ordered in store and ate in and had a short wait ~10 minutes for food to be ready and great service! They have lots of TV and seating options. I also didn't realize they have a drive thru! read more

Delicious!!! Love the lamb gyros. Excellent portion and flavor! Highly recommend! Order via Grubhub and was great!

Although pricey the quality of the is always very good. We love the chicken gyros and the lamb salads. Dessert is always delicious, too. It's fast service. read more

For the first time ever I ordered from Scorpio's as well as having grubhub deliver it for my first time. The food came in a timely manner. Got 2 lamb gyros, chicken ruble fries, roasted eggplant, and a large root beer. Food was hot and fresh, but I never received my root beer. I payed $3.99 for a large drink and never got it. I'd order from Skorpios again, but I won't order through a delivery service again. read more

My sister came up for day. She loves Greek food ! We went here for lunch. Pleasant, clean atmosphere. Staff were very friendly . Food was excellent. Was even given a sample of lamb before ordering lunch. Great experience! read more

Food was good, but don't order on this app. It took a half hour when it usually takes only about five or 10 minutes.

Loved the Greek salad (was my absolute favorite). Baklava was very good. Gyros were good. I also loved the balls (I forget what they're called). Hummus was good too. Overall, very good place. Only been here for takeout and it's always ready when I arrive. read more

Great food! Clean restaurant. Lunch staff is great and super friendly! Eat in or take it to go!

Sadly disappointed! The tzatziki sauce was made with MAYONNAISE! I ordered a LARGE lamb gyro... it tasted pretty good, but I was disappointed that it wasn't "real" tzatziki sauce. Also, the "large" was about the size of a "regular" at most gyro shops. Maybe it's because it's Newark Ohio and folks are happy with this, but, the best I can muster here is equating it to wanting Mexican Food and getting Taco Bell. It was "OK" when I was expecting/hoping for something great! read more

Gets my order every dam time I mean it's not that hard people to put meat and cheese is it NO ! I don't think so

Baklava was good and hummus was okay. If you want authentic gyros, this is not the place. The chicken gyro had no authentic greek flavor to it at all. I could only take two bites before just eating the pita and hummus as my meal. I wont be ordering from here again. read more

The french fries was hard as a rock you couldn't even eat Them will never go backI've been reading the reviews are not very good at all

The people who work there are always friendly and we have been buying their gyros since they started out in an old ice cream shack. I like their tzatziki sauce, I even tried their hot sauce but it was too hot for me. Lol the year is always good and we love the rubble fries. For the quality of food that you get, the price is a worth it. They even have a drive-thru for convenience. Keep up the good work! read more

Love the food and the ownerkee doing what you're doing. Definitely recommend. Nothing like it around!
