King Gyros

This place is in our regular weekly lunch rotation.  We like the Gyro and salad combo and some of the other guys get the burger and fries combo.  Quick and friendly service this will continue to be a staple in our quick go to places.

Had an early afternoon appointment on the Wild South Side (we don't get down here much), so "Yelped" lunch places near Madison Ave and King's Gyros looked like a good bet.  The restaurant seems to be in a former chain fast food building, and is roomy and has comfortable booths, as well as a busy drive-through clientele.

Quite a large menu for this kind of place, with a variety of different types of "lunchie" food, but we went for the Gyros.  $6.19 gets one a hefty load of meat, onions, tomatoes and sauce on a nice tender pita, a very large helping of hot crispy fries and a drink.  She had a gyro and Greek salad combo, but the combination of the two was really too much to do justice to, although the salad was fresh and tasty.

If and when I am in the neighborhood again I will be sure to give some of the other menu items a try - the cheeseburger or hot dogs sound pretty good and the prices are very reasonable.

Dependable gyros - generous amount of meat and the fixings are fresh. Thick fries cooked to order. Lots of other menu choices. I used to order the fish sandwich, but after two visits where the fish was overcooked and chewy, I decided to stick with the gyros.
