Ever since I moved down to Florida I’ve been craving a well made gyro. \u00a0You would think it wouldn’t be too hard to find some shaved lamb on a spit in fresh pita with vegetables and\u00a0tzatziki. Detroit seemed to be the land of plenty when it came to Greek food. \u00a0I mean you can’t drive 2 blocks without seeing a Coney or Greek diner. So anyways, I was really jonesing for a Gyro and hopped on google and searched for Gyro and 33603. \u00a0Gyro Land appeared to be the closest place, and you would think with a new like Gyro Land that they’d have Gyros. \u00a0I didn’t take any pictures of the inside of the restaurant, but the place was pretty run down. \u00a0The chairs looked older than Clint Eastwood, and he’s practically Skeletor.<\/p>\n

So anyways, the place was beaten up. \u00a0Walked in and it seemed a little sketchy, but a man’s gotta get his gyro, nom’ sayin? \u00a0Ordered up 2 gyro’s with fries and some jumbo scrimp, because who doesn’t want some delicious scrimp? Sat down to wait for our food, some hobo wanders in muttering about timecube or some such. \u00a0Did the needful and ignored him. \u00a0Brought the food home and was thoroughly underwhelmed. \u00a0It was some thick cut lamb, which was hopeful. \u00a0It was a really well put together wrap but not quite a classic gyro. \u00a0Tzatziki was kinda thick but otherwise decent. \u00a0Most of the food was kinda chilly, but I think we can blame that on the drive back. \u00a0Fries were fries. \u00a0Same deal you get everywhere else. \u00a0Lightly seasoned with some spice combination. \u00a0The odd thing is that the scrimp was the standout in the whole affair. \u00a0I’ve had some bad shrimp before, I mean.. I’ve been to a Red Lobster. \u00a0The Gyro Land batter wasn’t too heavy and the shrimps were still nice and firm. \u00a0Worth coming back for the shrimp, still not the gyro I’m looking for.<\/p>\n

I give it 2.5 [rating:2.5]. \u00a0Decor was nothing to write home about and the gyro was only okay. Not cheap, but not expensive either. \u00a0If you’re hungry and want something quickly give Gyro Land a shot.<\/p>\n
