Fast food gyro, that includes a drive thru!!! Cheap eats and so delicious! Food: Combination gyro platter - 5/5 - this is so good like as good as better-known gyro chains like Falafel corner and Halal guys Gyro wrap - 5/5 - delicious classic Ambience: Small fast food joint with the limited seating of just a few tables Service: No complaints

Ordered a falafel gyro and ultimate platter chicken and lamb. Great flavors for a midnight fix, been coming back for years. Great ambiance and service.

I want to show my support for this restaurant. The food, for what it is, when you can get it, and the quality was pretty good. And very well priced. Food: I would go between the lamb and beef platter or the chicken platter and it was really good. It was fresh, perfectly seasoned, the sauce hit the spot, and was exactly what I wanted and needed.....especially at 10:00-11:00pm at night We also got the cheeseburger, and you'd be surprised to know that it was actually well done. It was a perfect cheeseburger that I would rather have than Mcds or Carl's Jr. the meet, the cheese, the doneness were all exactly what I wanted and was perfect. Not to mention. What done it for me, what how wholesome this place is. It's definitely a family run restaurant, but it's very genuine and the food and quality is there. Dont expect this place to be a sit down date place, but rather and every day, healthier option (better than fast food or gas station food, or better than kfc and A&w down the street) kind of place. With that in mind, it's family run, so it's ok to wait that extra minute for your food to be freshly made, but honestly, to me, it was worth it. Because you can tell that the food was made with care and attention and by someone who take pride. More than you can say from other food chain places now a days. I've been here twice, and both times, I've been pleased and happy with my orders. I will continue to give my support. Not only for the food, and family run restaurant, but it's local and a good family. I believe in what they make and sell, and im really appreciative that it's there

Super convenient online ordering. Came here for lunch and the food looked pretty good from photos. Ultimate platter: A Chicken, beef, lamb. Basically all the proteins in one plate. Chose this so I could try most of what they have to offer and I will say the plate was incredibly packed with flavor. Meats are heavily marinated and super tender. The white sauce is very creamy and delicious. Seasoned fries: C These fries were not my favorite. They're thick cut so the inside is bland and they got a bit soggy for takeout. Baklava: B- Tasty, I enjoyed it overall but the texture was not as crisp as some other baklava I've had. Still, for $2 a single piece is hard to say no to.

+ spiced well, tasted good + parking lot - no restroom, was hoping to wash my hands before I eat:( - uncomfortable to eat gyro with having a paper bag as a plate (specifically said dining in) I know they usually come in wrapping but would have been nice to have a plate along with it.

A solid burger for a fantastic price! I got the cheeseburger combo with a fountain drink. Love that you can refill your soda pop to your heart's content. The cheeseburger is a good, tasty burger. I enjoyed it! And the fries were hot and freshly fried and crunchy and well seasoned. Yum! Oh and my combo only cost $13. What a deal!

I love this place. It's across from Raley's. We've only gone through the drive through and it's always been a good experience. They sell burgers too, but we've always gotten the Gyros. They are plentiful. Chuck full of happiness.

I've been to Capitol Gyros once before and got my food to go and have ordered from it back when it was called Hefty Burgers on DoorDash long ago. Is it still called Hefty Burgers? Are they two separate things? They still have the Hefty Burgers sign up outside but it says Capitol Gyros on the building, so I'm not sure. That said, you can get gyros and burgers, so I'd say it's a bit of both! I went in today for lunch and was feeling their namesake, a gyro, but I'll admit the burger menu looked pretty good too! I was the only one in the restaurant and was immediately greeted by the girl behind the counter. It didn't take me long to look at the menu and I opted for the Ultimate Gyro - a gyro wrap with chicken, beef, and lamb and the usual fixings. I rounded it off with some onion rings and a fountain drink. They have Pepsi products so I got a Diet Pepsi and sat down. Service was fast! Couldn't have been more than five minutes from the time that I ordered that they called my order from the counter and my food was ready. I picked it up and grabbed myself a seat in the corner, though I could've had any seat in the house. Food looked good and tasted good! Nothing out of the ordinary here: not the biggest or tastiest gyro but still solid and a filling meal for not too much money. The onion rings were piping hot and fresh out of the fryer without being too greasy and I was full by the time I finished everything. As this is my third visit, I think I can comment that the gyros are maybe not my favorite thing to get here, and I have previously enjoyed the burgers and plates more than the gyro I had today. That said, it was still fine! Just on the average size. Speaking from previous experiences, the plates are just a few bucks more and have enough food for two meals and the burgers are also decently priced with a variety of flavors and toppings. This spot is affordable and very close to me so I will definitely be back, and next time I'll be trying out something new form the burger menu!
