Mr. Gyros boasts the best gyro in Seattle. It's also one of the best of Seattle's secret little neighborhood sandwich joints.\r

I am always greeted very warmly by the staff. I mean, distinctly so. After the second visit, I was treated like a regular! The place is very cozy - only about four tables - but they make the food very fast, so take-outs are a breeze. Good, cheap, delicious food made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, great music on the stereo, and they even have cans of Orange Crush in the fridge! The shawarma is _awesome_. I have to be honest - the first time I ordered it, I didn't even know what it was made of (I'm really a farm boy), but _man_ is that stuff tasty.\r

Of course, the gyro itself is the reason to go there in the first place. Greenwood has turned into a sort of ""gyro-mad"" district of Seattle. For a while there you couldn't throw a brick without hitting a place that sold gyros. I think even the hobby shop was selling a gyro-based card-collecting game of some kind - but the tragedy of it all was that most of the places on Greenwood just sold you the terrible, greasy, Sysco-brand generic gyros like you get at the county fair in the middle of Nebraska.\r

Mr. Gyros makes a vastly superior gyro sandwich. Really crunchy vegetables, really tasty meat, really good pita. Downright _regal_. If the Queen of England ate gyros, she'd order them from these guys. If you haven't been to this place yet, you have to check it out. Even if middle-eastern food isn't your thing - give them a try next time you feel like a burger or a taco. They will not disappoint.\r
