4.0 of 5 stars. I give this place a solid 4 stars. It's a popular joint for the locals and the college students and the food is filling and cheap (think tons of meat). It's also pretty good stuff and I'm saying this...

2.0 of 5 stars. I ooze the smell of gyro for weeks after I eat here. Whatever you do, don't bring leftovers home because you'll never get the smell out of your fridge. NEVER!
