"Be forewarned! Do not eat here and definitely don 't order takeout from The Crazy Greek! You won 't know you 've been scammed until you get home and unwrap your food. I have eaten 20+ different gyro sandwiches all across the US, EU, and even in Greece. From Astoria, NY (used to have the 2nd largest Greek population outside of Athens) to Chicago (Greek family owned restaurants like Hubs) to the glorious Le Grec doner sandwich stuffed with frites in Paris to the street cart in Athens to local Carytown Gyro in RVA... No matter what kind of gyro sandwich, they are usually stuffed FULL of savory lamb gyro meat, fresh onions, tomatoes, sometimes lettuce if requested, the pita bread brushed with a bit of olive oil, grilled and heated warm, and one can always smell the wonderful aroma exuding from the wrapped sandwich, awaking your taste buds and making you super hungry. Nope. Not this sad excuse of a gyro sandwich from The Crazy Greek, if you can even call it that. The owners and cook should be ashamed. The photos don 't even do justice to what we got from our takeout order! Tiny wrapped sandwiches, smaller than a 6-inch sub, I kid you not, 2.5 inches in diameter. There were no good smells coming from our bag, and no wonder when you open the sandwich. No sight of any meat when you open the pita. Peeling back the veggies were a couple of cold, heated from frozen gyro meat triangles. I paid $9.00 for this tiny, skimpy sandwich that tasted cold like eating cardboard. The pita was stale. The tzatziki sauce was decent, but to complement an empty sham of gyro sandwich?! Even worse was the $14 Chef 's Special. My son dug into what appeared to be microwave heated spaghetti melted with cheese and 2 meatballs, 2 slices of pepperoni, and 2 small slices of sausage. The spaghetti was cold in the center. And it is supposed to be OVEN BAKED! I am surprised this place has 4.4 stars Google reviews. I would give 0 stars if Yelp had the option. I 'm shocked they are still in business! When we picked up, it looked dark and desolate. 4 seniors had just left the restaurant, and there were no other patrons. I wasted $60 for very little bland food, while my sons and husband are still hungry because the gyro sandwiches were barely kiddie size. The only reason we did takeout here tonight was because The Greek Taverna on Staples Mills was closed and my boys were craving gyros. Carytown Gyro was a 40 min wait and 20 min drive. I feel cheated. Never again! You would be crazy to go to The Crazy Greek! Top of all insults, they charged a 3.5% Non-cash adjustment fee for all credit card payments WTF! To the owners: go look at what your competitors are doing and improve your food! Times are tough, but come on! You cannot cut corners like that! Do you really want only unsuspecting customers who give you only one-time business, never coming back because of the food scam you served hidden in a takeout?"
