Summary
The Gyro Shack has stayed true to its name and kept things pretty straightforward: they sell gyros. If you don't want a gyro, you're out of luck. If you don't eat meat, you're out of luck.
Diners are expected to bring one little thing to the order counter besides an appetite and a few bucks: an understanding that the tagline "Home of the $2.99 Gyro" means that's what is available. Other than a handful of salads, a hummus and pita app ($2.49) and a choice between chicken or traditional lamb, that's what's available. Gyros. So the menu options are about the extra ingrethents available for each gyro, although that is no way inherently obvious in the descriptions - original, deluxe, super - each one with more items wrapped up inside, respectively. Food in hand, we sat on one of the benches outside and watched as a classic Model Ttype car with a giant stuffed Idaho Spud mascot strapped to the outside running board drove by.With extra meat and the addition of pepperoncinis and a rustred chili sauce, the deluxe gyro becomes super ($4.79): super big, super meaty, super-duper spicy. Even big, throaty gulps of soda (Sl. 29) didn't completely quell the burn or stop beads of forehead sweat. When she brought out a side of cool tzatziki with chunks of cucumber, the sweet young woman who had taken our order explained that being from New Mexico, she had an immunity to the kind of heat the super gyro puts out. Lucky girl. A tall jogger with a long ponytail stopped in for some water for himself and the happy little pug he had in tow.See the full content of this document
