Review from Kenneth E.

3/1/2012 1 Check-in Here
You know it's a good thing when there's a lineup, constantly throughout the day.
Just ordered the garden salad, fresh ingredients to choose fr: cucumbers, green peppers, romaine lettuce, pineapples, mushrooms, red onions, topped w/ mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Plenty of parking. -

Do you want fast food? Excuse me. Let me make myself clear. Fast "made-to-order" food? If so, then this may be the place for you.
I've had their hamburgers and pitas, french fries, and onion rings.
On their pitas, I love the pitas here. (But all the pitas in Canada appear to be the same. Thin with a half opening where all the stuffing can be inserted and then rolled into a "wrap". [I probably messed up the description of Canadian pitas, but ... use your imagination!]
They have daily specials which can change from week-to-week. Their specials are the best deal. So, if you can find out what the special is and you are a fan of whatever it is, then go!
**Chicken soulvaki Pita.
**Gyro Pita -- the gyros are frozen and cooked to order. The actual gyro meat is very thin. I wish it were a little thicker, but at least it's cooked when you order it, right?
**Tzatziki Sauce -- The tzatziki sauce is different here than I'm used to. The tzatziki is just a cream -- a thick cream. Different than the Great Wraps (an American chain) tzatziki sauce. I prefer the tzatziki sauce at Great Wraps, but maybe because I grew up on it.
**Basil Mayo Sauce -- They have a basil mayo sauce which is pretty good. I added this to my gyro pita because I'm not the greatest fan of their tzatziki. It was a good addition.
Service is quick. They can get busy during lunch, so beware! (The line does go fairly quickly, though.) -

The food here is good, but they need to step up their service. For a fast food place, nothing is fast.
I guess it is nice to see your food being cooked before your eyes, but with one person at the cash and 4 people making the food I don't understand why there is a huge line-up before you order, and an even bigger one after you order!
Another issue I had was that the person making my pita clearly did not understand the concept of capacity! When I asked for everything, I thought it should be clear that I did not mean literally every morsel of each topping available. Before they chicken (that I had to wait 10 minutes for) was even put into the pita, it was soggy and bursting at the seems. By the time I ate the pita, I needed a fork and a handful of wet-naps!
If you're not in a rush, and you like one or two toppings, the food might be worth it. I wouldn't recommend it during lunch though!
