I had a great quick lunch at Captain Pete’s house of Gyros. There are quite a few places in town to get Gyros but Captain Pete’s is one of my favorites. Fresh, fast and they always have something a little special if you are in the mood. Its located on Capital Circle near Park Ave.
My buddy Steve got the King Gyro- just like you expect with great meat and sauce. I ventured out a little and got the Camel Rider; Seasoned Ground Beef mixed with lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions & Tzatkizi sauce wrapped in a pita. Its the one in the photo (you know what a regular Gyro looks like, right?) Think Greek Sloppy Joe. Tasty and messy!! Dessert was a slice of Baklava with lots of honey and nuts, Very nice! There are several other desserts to chose from but its hard for me to get past baklava. Iced mint tea is always available along with regular sodas.
A few quick tips. Show up early for lunch, the line goes from zero to out the door fast. Bring Cash, they don’t take credit cards- or forget cash and your buddy has to pay 😉
I have not tried any of the special dinners but they look worthy.
