Scottsdale Restaurant Guide

My name is George and I currently own and operate George's Famous Gyros in Scottsdale, AZ. I was born and raised in Chicago until the age of ten when my family and I moved to Greece. That was definitely nice for a while but after about a year and a half we decided to move back to the States. We've been here in Arizona for about thirteen years now and consider it to be our second home. Although George's Famous Gyros is the first restaurant I've opened on my own, I have had plenty of experience running restaurants because my family has been in this business for as long as I can remember.

The word "Gyro" means "round" in Greek. At George's Famous Gyros, which recently opened at 7620 E. McKellips Road in Scottsdale, it appears to also be a reference to our extremely well-rounded menu. Make no mistake about it, the Gyros are delicious, but you'll also find great Pita Pizzas, Greek salad, Hummus, Baklava and other Greek favorites, plus Italian cuisine including Spaghetti, Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Parmigiana and Italian Sausage Sandwiches. If you'd like something a little more domestic, Burgers, Hot Dogs and Chicken Wings are also available. Despite the eclectic nature of this restaurant's offerings, the secret to great cooking is to keep it simple. Anything we make is with garlic, basil, olive oil, mint, parsley, oregano and pepper. Everything is made from scratch.

Although the food is made-to-order for maximum freshness, it's served quickly. .So, come and bring your family and friends for a great meal and a fun time! Oh, and please visit my father, Ted, at our other George's Famous Gyros location on 2814 W. Bell Rd in Phoenix.
