Gyro

Back in the late 90's it was Greek Village on old south campus. Had to say 'yee-ro' or get blessed out and sent to the back of the line. I went to their new location last time I was in Cbus...not worth the drive and didn't live up to the memories.

Apollo's was a few doors down...also good, but not as good...but they delivered.

Extra feta, no onions please.

Apollo's: Better memories than food.

I've never understood why someone didn't a chipotle/five guys fast casual style gyro chain

Cuz much like burritos, there is an inverse relationship between the food being good and the likelihood that you would take your mother there for lunch.

The greek salad with the big piece of grouper on it is awesome...

Used to be a place on Morse, I think, called Nicky's deli... not sure if that exists anymore though.

I don't think I've ever had apollos sober

No kidding-I think the real problem is that
A-gyros just aren't as recognized among the public as burritos, and
B-the best gyros are always at the neighborhood places where they are greasy and the owner makes huge gyros.
They opened a causal gyro type place like you describe in Kettering, and, while decent, it is not as good as the neighborhood joints-smaller serving, for one thing, at the same prices or higher.

In Columbus I always like Gyro Palace on Old Henderson, and my favorite gyro ever is at Skipper's in Oxford. I even had a really good gyro in Tokyo, from a street vendor. It was called a doner-kebab, and served inside a pita pocket, instead of folded, but it was basically a really good gyro-awesome drunk food. The key to a really good gyro is getting the meat roasted really well on the spit-if a place just grills the strips on a grill, it isn't the same.
