What diners say — our read

Read together, this corpus is a split decision. How guests are treated tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.4 stars. After that, how food arrives appears most often — 27% of the corpus, averaging 3.0.

The split is 14 positive to 4 negative across 22 rated reviews, with 4 in the middle. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 11 of the 22 reviewers who rated.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (92/100), with 8 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That inspection was on January 27, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. That puts it ahead of 50% of graded kitchens in Indian River County. Among the items recorded were food & equipment thermometers provided and accurate and dishwashing facilities.

Neither signal is decisive on its own here, which is why both are shown. Everything above is computed from the 22 reviews reproduced below.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the food and the management! As someone with food allergies and sensitivities, I truly appreciate how accommodating and understanding the staff has been. They are always willing to make substitutions when needed, and that level of care means a lot. The traditional gyro is my favorite, the chicken is delicious, and the fish has always been excellent as well. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently well prepared. I especially appreciate being able to customize my order to fit my dietary needs without feeling like it's a problem. Great food, great service, and a team that genuinely cares about their customers. Highly recommend!

    Tried to order online. No option to pay cash at the restaurant. Called half a dozen times to place order, no answer.

    Delicious gyros and the best dressing for the Greek salad.

  • June 25, 2026

    Great employees and wonderful food

  • June 22, 2026

    Ordered a few meals and all were wrong and missing main ingredients you normally get in a gyro. No taziki sauce, no onions and one half tomato slice with the core of the tomato intact. This is restaurant 101 stuff. Never leave the core on someone’s sandwich cause then it’s not going to be eaten. So really no tomato on it that I was able to eat. It was pretty bad. They did step up and comp my meal but figured it’s worth a review.

    Greek Salad was delicious!

  • June 13, 2026

    First time and not impressed order an appetizer of octopus and receive one tentacle 🐙 after we were finished with our dinner didn’t even receive appetizers before food or during on top of that it was gross we had two bites off of it think it was the fist and last time at this place

    The Waitress, was the best

  • June 11, 2026

    I thoroughly enjoyed my Greek wrap and salad. The staff was friendly, the place was clean. I took one star off because the floor was so slippery I had a difficult time getting up from the table! Not sure what type of cleaner is being used but they should probably change it before someone falls.

    Gyros!! Say less. This place has been consistently fantastic. The staff is alway smiling, service is quick and the gyros perfect every time. Simple and spectacular ✨️. Try the lemon rice soup. One of my personal favorites there.

  • June 2, 2026

    I had the gyros platter with the lemon rice soup, and lemon roasted potatoes. Everything was well seasoned and well prepared. The tzatziki sauce was great to bring it all together. The kids even got to eat free because it was a Tuesday!

    Edit: Unfortunately, two visits later there was a strand of thin black hair in Greek salad. Also, I would have appreciated some sort of notification on the website or via txt msg/phone call if the fries have been changed. Same nice waitress every time. The falafel is great - smooth texture and a little nutty. The tzatziki is great. The Greek salad is fresh. The lemon soup is okay, it gets thicker the later in the day you order it. They are usually out of something I want to order every time I go for whatever reason. Since coming here for the first time a couple years ago, the fry portion in a plate meal has more than halved in size unfortunately.

    I love the gyro here. My problem is that I ordered online and when I got home, there were no fries with any of the 3 things we ordered. When I didn't see an extra bag with salads, I assumed that the menu changed and it didn't come with one but apparently that was missing too. I replied to the email request asking how the food was but no one responded so I'm leaving this review instead. I paid full price and got a third of what I was supposed to get.

    Everything is mostly in plastic bags. The chicken is dry. The only thing good is the Euro meat they served from last night..

  • May 21, 2026

    We wanted to try this place last year when we visited the area and couldn’t get there. Went this year and so glad we did. Parking lot is completely under construction but don’t let it stop you from finding a parking spot. We ordered calamari and a chicken gyro. Was absolutely delicious! We will definitely go back ! Restaurant is clean and menu has so much to offer. The staff was so kind and friendly. Check them out

    Food is delicious.

  • May 14, 2026

    Meat was overcooked meal was served cold

  • May 4, 2026

    Ordered through the Spiro's website. The gyros are pictured with fries. When I went in the order was ready, 5 minute early even, but when I got home there were not any fries and both gyros were not warm. I live 10-12 minutes away. When calling I was questioned saying I did not order fries but it is pictured with fries on the website. Only gave stars for the adequate amount of meat in the gyros. They would not deliver after learning of the error. Just annoyed and want others to make sure to untie the knotted bag and check your orders visually.

    They didn't have the onion rings I ordered so they offered me fries instead and they were crispy and delicious. The falafel was the best I've had!

  • May 1, 2026

    Nice enjoyable meal at a reasonable price. Good service. Very good gyros and desserts.

  • April 16, 2026

    Best Greek food in florida; everything was seasoned perfectly and very flavorful. Recommend the flatbread. Great host and atmosphere.

  • April 16, 2026

    This was my first time trying it and we loved it ! Definitely recommend the Gyros. Aden is a great waiter as well.
