FAVORITE FOOD: Traditional Greek Gyro

UNIQUE FEATURES: Authentic Greek dining.

COMMENTS: It appears that many customers drive through the line to get their food. The dining room is quiet.Check out this fascinating website.

One of our favorites, Heath Blizzard, has 600 calories in the small size. A large one has 1150 calories. Whew! Check the DQ Nutrition Pages
