The food at The Gyro Joint is not bad, but unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing.
For what you get, I found the prices to be quite high, especially considering that this is a very casual counter-service restaurant. You order and pay at the counter, and the same person who takes your order brings the food to your table. There is no actual table service, so the prices feel a little difficult to justify.
The biggest issue, however, was the temperature inside. I’m not sure if the A/C wasn’t working properly or if this is normal, but the restaurant was extremely hot and uncomfortable. It’s hard to enjoy a meal when you’re sitting inside and feeling that hot.
Again, the food itself was okay, and this isn’t a complaint about the quality of the meal. But when you combine the prices, very basic service setup, and uncomfortable atmosphere, I just don’t think the overall experience matches what you’re paying.

Absolutely love The Gyro Joint in Pompano Beach! Everything is homemade and cooked to order, and you can really taste the difference. The gyro is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the tzatziki is the best I’ve had — thick, creamy, and full of flavor. The pita is always fresh and soft.
The owners treat you like family and the service is warm and genuine. It feels like a little piece of Greece right here in South Florida. Portions are generous and the food is consistently excellent.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Greek food. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Had a gyro platter delivered and it was EXCELLENT! French fries were the best I have ever had and the gyro, pita and tzatziki was delicious. Highly recommend.

The moussaka was absolutely delicious! What made the experience even more special was being welcomed by the owner, whose warmth and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. And by the way… it was the best tzatziki I’ve ever had! I can’t wait to come back.

OK, little backstory I’m a truck driver so I don’t normally get to sit down and enjoy a good meal so today I saw this Jairo place on the map and I said you know what I don’t want. Let me try something new I would be lying if I said that I was not pleasantly surprised the ambience was nice and the service was amazing. The gentleman that took care of me first and very comedy and the food delicious freshly made when I ordered it if I were to live in this area and people would ask you what would be a good place to eat I would hands-down recommend this location for all of you that live in the area and get to see my posting. I would highly suggest that you give them a try nice intimate I would say good for anything from private to a romantic one with your partner to a family gathering. It seems very flexible, but I will tell you that you will like is the service and the accommodation. If this posting compels you to give them a try when they ask, how did you hear about them? Just show them the post so that they see that they were not going on five star from the food to the ambience to the Service
