Mykono’s
Gyros and Cafe (pronounced MEE ko nos) –
Don’t let the word café fool you. This
is fast food, Greek style, a step or two up from
“cheeseburger, cheeseburger,
cheeseburger!” Not a place to sit and dine
leisurely while reading… This is a nice open
space with quite a few tables situated pretty
closely together. It was a little loud at times,
especially when order numbers are called out.
There’s a pretty Greek coastal landscape
painted along the entire north wall. (They also
have an outside wall painted for al fresco seating
in the summertime.) You order at the counter, and
wait for your number to be called. Dine-in is
served on the typical plastic tray/plastic basket.
I got carry out. Veggie Pita, no onions, no olives
(I know – what is the POINT!?!?! It’s
Greek food! Sorry.). Nothing too difficult, and
it was pretty yummy, huge, and messy. Wonderfully
large and fresh pita with big hunks of slightly
salty feta, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, some green
pepper, and great gyro sauce (is there a name for
that?) to pour (lightly) on. Definitely not the
type of food you order in the early stages of a
relationship!! :o) It was all over the place. Fries
were the "regular" kind (not steak fries or wedges)
that have a little bit of skin still on ‘em,
and they were abundant. (I didn’t need fries,
but I had a cold I believe in feeding a cold!!)
Total was about $6.75 (sans drink) which
wasn’t that bad. But for quick, cheap, Greek,
and unique, Apollo Cafe wins.
