John The Greek Restaurant (San Antonio, TX)

Ate at this place today as the weather was a bit cold and we were feeling soup, here's what we got:

3 Gyros (2 lamb and beef, 1 chicken) ($11.75 each for 1 gyro, 1 soup, 1 drink, and either salad or fries)

2 Avgolemono Soup

2 Greek Salad

1 Serving of Fries

1 Fakes (lentil) Soup

1 Side of rice pilaf to-go ($4)

1 Almond cookie ($2.25)

1 Galaktoboureko ($4)

2 Iced Tea

1 Tea

Overall it was pretty good depening on what you order, 11.75 for a gyro, fries (or salad), soup, and drink isn't too bad. The salads were pretty good, the tea was quite nice, the soups were excellent, and the meat in the gyros were awesome.

However some of the other stuff is overpriced. The rice pilaf was a pretty small portion, the Galaktoboureko was subpar for the price, fries were underseasoned, the pita was merely ok and the almond cookie was dry and kinda bland.

Overall I would prob eat here again, but I wouldn't get dessert, the fries, or the pilaf again. I would recommend getting one of the plates that has a lot of meat as that was by far the best part.

Greek-styled food in the states looks... sad. The "gyros" in the images looks like ground meat. Real gyros is not ground meat though. The quantity of it seems pitiful too. Furthermore, the pitas look almost raw.

2/10, fit for animal consumption.

My phone doesn't take good photos, but I have had better gyros elsewhere. In fact a local middle eastern market has awesome pita to make gyros with, might try that sometime.
