I visited the Gyromania Grill at 2558 Main Street in Elgin…read morefor lunch today (First Time) and I was totally enthralled & impressed with the restaurant, the food, and the staff. Having moved down to South Carolina six years ago, & given the hyper local establishments nearby my home that offer something I can only say somewhat passes for a gyro sandwich, Gyromania Grill far exceeded my expectations, and passion for an Authentic gyro, the kind I recall from up in New York yonder. From the moment I walked into the restaurant, and was greeted by Sheila, to receiving my Hummus appetizer with pita bread triangles, to receiving my Gyro pita sandwich, I couldn't believe how authentically tasty & delicious the food was. The food is prepared fresh on the spot, nothing laying around in heating hampers, from the french fries that are cut fresh daily, and fried when ordered, to the veggies that garnish the Gyro, to the freshly prepared tzatziki, my taste buds exploded with excitement at how delicious everything tasted. Honestly, I never expected to have that sensation of a well prepared Gyro the likes of what I recalled from NY, down here in S.C. but alas, I found *THE* spot for authentic, Great tasting Greek food. The restaurant itself is bright, open, VERY CLEAN! (I mean, Extreme Clean!) You can tell the employees take pride in presenting the establishment and the food they serve in the spotlight. Watching the staff behind the counter prepare the food, I noted how friendly and happy everyone was, no "fanny frowner /why am I here" faces, and compared to oh so many other food establishments I've been to, that impressed me a lot. I originally was going to order the lemon potatoes with my gyro, but they weren't prepared when I ordered, yet once they were, Sheila and her assistant surprised me by bringing by a little sample for me to taste, so next time I come in, I will absolutely enjoy them with my order, but the greek seasoned fries that came with my Gyro were trey`delicious just the same! The restaurant atmosphere is nice, I got there right before the lunch crowd, so it wasn't too crowded, I'm told sometimes the place can get really packed (no doubt, people enjoy eating delicious & tasty food, & Gyromania Grill delivers that!) The portions are decent, the prices very reasonable, the staff is friendly, and even if you have to drive a little out of the way to get there (as I did) it's well worth the effort. I Absolutely WILL BE Returning again in the very near future, and look forward to sharing the Gyromania Grill experience with folks I know will appreciate how authentic and well prepared this food is. ***** 5-STARS ***** For Cleanliness, Quality, Service & Value! Put Gyromania on your bucket list of places to visit for a great meal! You won't regret it. `JT

It was horrible. The potatoes were three chunks on the plate as a full serving. Ordered the salads extra and they were very small. There were two specials listed on the board and neither one had a price posted. The price was $24. This was lunch. Out of four people, only one enjoyed their food. Keep going. Looks like there's a genuine, good, busy well rated Greek restaurant down the street

I opted to venture out and try something different so picked this lamb dish. The lamb was tasty and the rice well it was cooked properly and was rice. The tzatziki sauce was delicious. After eating the lamb and dipping it in they brought me more for my rice and for dipping my pita bread in. All very good. Not a fan of Greek potatoes but I did give them a solid try. Finished it off with a delicious piece of baklava which was delectable. So much so I neglected to get a pix of it. Service was awesome and on a Monday night they were not busy at all. Seems to be a lot of take out which good as this is a small business. Definitely has the family feel. The decor was colorful with the fancy lamps on each table. Nice quiet dinner and good food.

We specifically wanted the steak and baked potato special. They ran out of potatoes before 6 pm and out of steaks not long afterwards. Our server stopped long enough to get our drink order but after that seemed oblivious to us even being there, even though she walked right beside us several times to take orders and deliver drinks, etc to other customers. I had to stop another server to take our order. It took about 30 minutes to get my super thin pork chop, cold mac n cheese and hard fried okra. My husband's wings and fries were overcooked. The initial server nor the other one ever attempted or even ask us if we needed a drink refill. It was obvious that regular customers took priority while new ones were ignored. Very disappointing!

When I clearly did not want to be at the bar and I tell you that I want a table, do not later tell me that there are two tables available but for larger groups only and ask if you can bring me to the bar. Clear and simple. If you don't have a table to offer to me don't ask me if I wanted a table when there isn't one.

Saturday brunch at Breakfast at Ruiz!…read more Cute spot with a really nice vibe. It was definitely crowded, but surprisingly the wait wasn't long at all, and the prices were reasonable. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and they were WELL seasoned. Maybe almost a tad too much going on flavor-wise, but bland was absolutely NOT the problem. The portion was good, everything came out looking great, and I kept seeing other dishes go by that had me questioning my order...in a good way. I'd definitely come back because there were several things on the menu I want to try. Good food, cute atmosphere, reasonable prices, and they handled a busy Saturday brunch crowd well.

Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the ambiance. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the classic breakfast, and both entrées arrived cold or only mildly warm. The French toast had a nice blend of seasoning, but it was overcooked and had a slightly burnt taste. The breakfast potatoes were also cold, which was disappointing. On a positive note, the mimosas were really good and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The service was okay--nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. Overall, while the restaurant is gorgeous and has a lot of potential, the quality and temperature of the food left us underwhelmed. I'm not sure if I'll return, but I do hope they improve the consistency because the space itself is worth experiencing.

My son Brandon & I went back 3 more times that same week. This is our new "go to spot" for Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. I plan to try something new every time I visit. The Chef/owner really knows his way around the kitchen. The food is very flavorful and you get a good bit for the price. I wish they were open on weekends. Do yourself a favor and go try them out!
