Parking is along one side of the street and there are not many spaces available. We were able to find a spot on the opposite corner. Walking is pretty easy along the street or on the sidewalk. I did not notice any handicapped spaces, and there are two steps up to the door so be aware. Walking in the door of the small interior, the ordering counter is to the left with a small table seating area on the right. The menu was on the counter. The staff were very friendly and let us know the specials. We placed our order and then went outside to the small outdoor seating area on the side of the building. Our food was brought out to us in a little over five minutes. We had ordered the gyro sandwich and the taste of Crete sampler. The gyro sandwich had a good amount of meat along with fresh veggies. The pita was soft and held the ingredients together well. The overall taste was a mix of flavorful meat and fresh ingredients, an excellent representation of what a gyro should be. The Taste of Crete sampler provided a quick culinary tour of Crete, with gyro meat, a salad, hummus, and a cucumber salad. It even comes with a piece of baklava for dessert. Again, the gyro meat was very good, the pita fresh and soft, and the salad fresh and crisp. The cucumber salad was refreshing on a reasonably warm day. The hummus was amazingly good. It was extremely garlicky and bold. My dining partner and I had to negotiate who would get the last bite. The owner and all the staff were friendly and eager to show off their offerings. Everything we had was wonderful and provided a magnificent lunch respite. This is truly a hidden gem and well worth the small effort required to partake of their hospitality.

But don't let any of that keep you from stopping at Dino's if you're looking for a good, home-cooked style breakfast. We don't recommend the iced tea, which may have been instant (a no-no in the South), but the scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon were delicious, as were the bacon skillet and the Denver omelette. I'm always wary of restaurant bacon, but this was some of the best I've ever eaten. Crispy, cooked perfectly--the best part of my meal. My spouse went to the restroom, where he couldn't find a light switch and had to take his chances using it with the door ajar, so take a flashlight if you need to use the facilities. Overall, the ramshackle building is not appealing but what's most important is the food, and we were pleased with ours. Will go back to try dinner sometime.

    Executive Summary…read more Gyro King has the potential to be a standout downtown option, with a spacious and inviting setup, generous portions, and friendly service. But my visit on a Saturday afternoon left me underwhelmed. The flavors hinted at quality, yet the execution and pricing missed the mark. My gyro combo with chips and a drink totaled $16.44--by far the most expensive meal I had during several days in town--and the soggy, warmed-over meat made the price sting even more. This is a place I'd be willing to try again during a busier time when the kitchen is moving quickly, but based on my experience, value and consistency need real improvement before Gyro King earns a higher spot on my downtown list. Full Review Location & Atmosphere Gyro King benefits from a great downtown location, adjacent to the market but operating as its own restaurant with a connecting doorway. That setup gives you shared market restrooms but still allows Gyro King to have its own space and vibe. Inside, the room is clean and appealing--long counter seating along one wall, tables down the middle, and classic tin-style ceiling panels that add character. It's bright, airy, and big enough to handle either a quick solo stop or a sit-down with friends. Parking downtown is another story. On a Saturday afternoon with a home football game nearby, both street parking and the lot out back were a challenge. That said, once inside, the restaurant was empty and I was greeted almost immediately by the gentleman working, who even stepped out to check on me as I paused at the side door. Service Friendly, quick, and attentive. Ordering was simple, and I appreciated the proactive greeting--it makes a difference when you walk into an empty dining room. Food I ordered the Original Gyro ($8) with chips and a drink, which brought my total to $16.44. For a gyro and chips, that's steep--easily the most expensive meal I had over several days in town. And while the serving size was generous (so big the box lid barely closed), the value just didn't match the quality. The bread, veggies, and sauce were fine--exactly what you'd expect. The meat, though, was the disappointment. It had good flavor, maybe even something house-prepared, but it had been sitting in a warmer too long. Instead of those crispy, caramelized edges that make gyro meat shine, it was soggy and soft. The taste hinted at greatness, but the execution let it down. When you're paying a premium, that gap matters. Overall Impression Gyro King checks a lot of boxes: strong location, clean and stylish dining space, attentive service, and portions that impress. But the pricing and execution are off. For $16+, I expect a gyro that delivers on texture as well as taste. Maybe during peak lunch or dinner hours when turnover is high, the food is excellent--but on a slower afternoon, it was underwhelming and overpriced. Would I return? Probably--but only at a busier time when I know the meat won't be languishing in a warmer. As it stands, Gyro King is a place with promise, but they're missing the mark for value.

The staff was quick and beyond generous and friendly. I appreciated the fact that they had a spicy harissa sauce too because not every Greek place has spicy sauce. I am eager to try that sauce. One of the coolest parts about this place is that the dining room is connected to a food hall with a market that has food, beer, wine, and indoor and outdoor seating.

We started the evening scouring the menu for tonight's choices and settled on pierogies and falafel for an appetizer. The warm pierogies with potato and cheese filling had the right amount of creamy texture with the perfect crunch. The falafel with tahini and garlic sauce completed the appetizer. I saved some of the tahini sauce to have with the falafel wrap. The pita bread filled with falafel and veggies, accompanied by a side of tahini sauce, was the perfect balance for an evening meal. I noticed quite a few people coming in for dessert, which included the cheesecake. Admittedly, I was too full to enjoy the cheesecake at the restaurant, so I ordered a baklava cheesecake to go. It was amazing! The crunchiness of the sweet baklava paired with the cheesecake is a perfect balance to the tanginess of the cheesecake. The quality of ingredients and flavors used are perfect in every dish. The selection of food choices is hand-selected and crafted to perfection. Phenomenal restaurant! I felt like I was back in the Mediterranean enjoying a great evening meal.

    Little Sicily - A Mediterranean Hug After a Long Day on the Trails…read more After hiking all day, stumbling upon Little Sicily felt like the universe handing us a tiny edible gift. Beckley surprised us once again, this spot turned out to be such a delicious treasure that we kept coming back like well-trained food pilgrims. The food was fantastic. Truly. Some of the best chicken shawarma, hummus, and tabouli I've had in ages, fresh, flavorful, and made with clear love. The kind of meal that makes your tired hiking muscles perk up and whisper, "Oh yes, this is the good life." Service was friendly, warm, and helpful with recommendations, the kind of staff who genuinely wants you to enjoy what you order. Honestly, I found myself wishing we had a place like this back home so I could grab big platters for a party and impress everyone without lifting a finger. A traveler can dream. A great little spot, comforting and delicious, exactly what you hope to find when you're hungry, tired, and ready to be fed well.

First on the table was fresh pita, hot and puffy right out of the oven. Second was a side salad with romaine, olives and tomatoes- no iceberg lettuce here ( I dislike iceberg lol ). Finally was the sampler. House made hummus and tzatziki sauce, grilled veggies, more pita, and rice. Beef, chicken, and kofta kebabs were all flavorful and TENDER. Usually kebabs are tough and overcooked. Not here, this is the best kebabs I've ever had. For dessert: Tiramisu! Light and delicious with balance of espresso and chocolate. Waitress was friendly with timely service, often checking up on us . Highly recommend this restaurant- a culinary masterpiece!!
