“ Stopped in for lunch and it was amazing. Had the lamb gyro with a perfect amount of seasoning. The hummus was very delicious. The restruant was extremely clean. ”
“ Great food. Fast service. Nice little restaurant. A quick favorite that has you going back. A bit pricey but worth it. ”
“ Delicious food. Gentleman working the register was unbelievably nice. Such a great experience. ”
“ My husband and I love stopping in to Skorpios once or twice a month. They have the best gyro's around! The pitas are warm, soft, and fluffy. The lamb is seasoned perfectly as well. I add banana peppers to mine and it gives it a tangy bite! The service is always friendly, the dining area is always clean, and the food for the price can't be beat! This time we got gyro combo meals with fries and onion rings, fried banana peppers as an appetizer, and 8 piece garlic parm wings. I'd never had their wings before, so I wanted to try them. While they're on the small side, they sure packed a lot of flavor! These wings are breaded with a nicely seasoned breading. The garlic parm sauce was delicious. My favorite food in the area! ”
“ Food was good Service - Cashier was very friendly and cared about our needs! Restaurant stayed busy ”
“ The food here is delicious and the staff friendly. I loved the flavors. The salad was fantastic, and my gyro was so tasty! It was a nice place to relax with friends on a Friday evening. ”
“ I visited Skorpios a few days ago and quite enjoyed my visit. I came in for take-out but appreciated the clean, simple, low key set up of their seating area. I'll definitely consider eating in in the future. I ordered a small gyro combo (which included fries and a drink). The small gyro is on a 6" pita and comes with choice of meat (lamb, beef, or chicken) and lettuce, tomato, and onion. I believe cheese is extra; this isn't my favorite because feta seems like a staple on a gyro to me. I asked what kind of sauce is used on gyros, and they said gyros get gyro sauce, which the cashier described as similar to Ranch dressing. They also have Skorpio sauce, which is a creamy hot sauce. I asked to sub tzaziki and they were amenable to that switch. Overall, the taste was good! The pita was soft. The meat was well-seasoned and savory, although most of the lamb I got was crumbles, not like strips shaved off a spit. The veggies were crisp and fresh. The tzaziki was good, too. (I saw another review described their tzaziki like mayo. I'm guessing this was the Ranch-like gyro sauce, because the tzaziki I had tasted like traditional yogurt-based cucumber sauce.) The fries had a nice seasoning. I would have liked them a bit crispier, but I think this is a failing of doing take-out. I imagine they'd be great if eaten immediately. (But for future reference, I'll remember to ask for take-out fries to be extra crispy.) Although they had quite a few dessert selections, I didn't get any on this visit. I hope to try some of the homemade baklava they advertise the next time I'm back. ”
“ We were looking for something different for lunch... And we found it. This restaurant is really not much to look at but the food is really good. I would strongly recommend it. I had the extra large gyro with onion rings which I really enjoyed. The extra large gyro is really big - I can't imagine how big the 2xl gyro is or even the dumpster gyro but there was plenty of food. The onion rings were great. Wifie had the gyro salad with chicken which she thought was awesome. They have some lemon and mint water that they make the wifie really liked also. ”
