The meat on the gyro at Jim & Jennie’s Greek Village is seasoned very well, as oregano, thyme, and garlic make a beautiful medley to go with the beef/lamb combo. The meat is tender and sliced thick, and the vertical spit gives it a solid caramelization.
The tzatziki is delightfully punchy, with strong hits of dill and garlic and a pleasing creamy consistency. The pita is soft and chewy enough to curl up and take a nap in. The dice on the onions and tomatoes can feel a bit clunky and inconsistent, but that’s a small complaint on an otherwise very strong gyro.
2. Feta's Greek Restaurant—Gyro
Flavor: 🤤🤤🤤
Meat: 🥩🥩🥩

This is the working man’s gyro. It’s not elevated or amped up in any way, but it’s consistently massive and tasty. You’re going to get the same thing every single time at Feta’s Greek Restaurant, and you’re never going to leave hungry.
The meat is pretty standard beef/lamb. It’s cooked nicely but lacks much texture and is light on seasoning. The pita, while chewy and remarkably strong to hold up under all the meat, doesn’t have a ton of flavor. What standards out is the thick, yogurt-forward tzatziki, which has a nice tang.
The sheer size is what makes Feta’s gyro stand out. You have to eat 3-4 ounces of meat off the top before you even dream about being able to pick it up; the meat completely eclipses the pita when it arrives at the table.
