For the past 13 years these gyro slingers have been fast and friendly. Options for your gyro include regular (lamb+beef), chicken, veggie and a very spicy hummus. The other standard toppings are onion, feta, and tzatziki sauce. Add some Tabasco and spice it up even more. If you're not in the mood for a gyro they also offer hot dogs and brats. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed.

I would just like to say that the guaranteed hours are actually 11-2:10 M&T, 9-2:10 W-S. And remember, S&G has 4 carts, one gyrostand downtown(on Main), two gyrostands on Welch W-S, and don‘t forget about the Dog Station and its famous SUPERDOGS. We‘re usually open until about 2:30 most days, and until 3 or 4 on weekends depending on the crowd.

And sadly, the only gyrostand offering the hot dogs and brats is downtown, there are no brats on Welch. But we do have the Dog Station...

Heh Nobody knows this ‘place‘ as Smiles & Gyros... it‘s Gyro Man (or Gyro Dude)... Very tasty Gyros that I have yet to find a decent replacement for (moved from Ames).

You think a line forms for a place that is bad? well worth the wait.

15 minutes...WTF are you smoking? It probably takes no longer than 10 minutes when there is a long ass line. You must be blind as well, there is a Jimmy Johns and bunch of other restaurants around Gyro Man!!
