The Greek Pastry Shop - #1 GYROS

They aren’t lying when they say #1. My favorite place for a bite to eat that is consistently good. Somehow I think they’ve gotten even better over the years. I love the folks that work here as well. A bit quirky inside, great for 3rd dates, a quick lunch, or catching up with friends.

Gyros were great, the Greek fry’s were great and they brought out the food. It was hot and fresh. Limited seating but I would definitely do it again.

A regular stop for our family anytime we are going through or visiting Missoula. Service is fast, friendly and the food is consistently good and plentiful. I especially appreciate the chance to eat a more ethnic type of cuisine when we get the chance! The gyro meat is well seasoned and delicious. All variety of fries are tasty- this time I got the Greek fries w/feta. Pita was fresh as usual. Recommend if you are feeling for something different in Montana.

Great flavors (special fry and gyro are top notch). Was a bit disappointed to have to pay to change my fry from a greek fry to a special fry costed me ~$2-4 even though they cost the same on the menu and virtually have the same ingredients expect for feta... Very confusing.. customer wasn't right that time.. but... The flavors are great 😸

For a small place the food packs a lot of yummy flavor! This was my now wife and my first date meal, I had never had gyros before and didn't know what a treat I was in for. Add some photos of a great place to eat, and friendly staff. Check them out at 520th 5th ST. SW. If you're travel through on I90 take the Orange St. exit maybe a mile off interstate on the right when you see Orange Street Market...enjoy!

I have tried many Gyro shops around the country. This is one worth going to. This is often my reward after a long work day. I'll make a special trip to enjoy their feta fries and Gyro meat. The staff are always nice, and will remember your favorites. They treat everyone like family. Try this one out, it won't disappoint. Edit 7 years later: I returned to this great hole in the wall for more of their Gyro meat and feta fries. Same great service, same great taste, acceptable price. I’ve had a lot more gyro meat from an abundance of restaurants now, and this one is worth the stop every time.

This was the perfect pit stop to grab a wonderful quick bite. My wife and I just wanted a fresh gyro and this was the place to go. The staff is very friendly and on point with delivering your door to your table, also all tables are sanitized before you have a seat in them. We sat outside on the bench in front and it was such a treat to enjoy our fries and gyros. I deff recommend checking this spot out. Looks like a mom and pop shop when you enter. You won’t regret it.

Finally got to hit up the Greek Pastry Shop for lunch and was not disappointed! Gyros are definitely in my top 5 foods and I try to sample each location they are available wherever I happen to be. Ordered a Gyro and fries here. The meat was superb. Really tasted great. The bread was amazing - very fresh and pillowy. Totally sealed the deal. Mighta been a bit heavy on the lettuce but you can always take a little off to fit the sandwich between your chompers. Highly recommend you try the gyro if you haven't. Worth the visit and I'll be back for sure!

Food is amazing here - we love it! My whole family loves it. We were here for my son's college graduation and my mom told us we had to get gyro's for dinner one of the nights - we made it happen. Have eaten here several times and it's always delicious!

Awesome gyros and gyro plates!! I recommend ordering ahead because they're always busy, but the foods tasty,and the staff is friendly!

This mom and pop place has been run by the same Greek family for decades and the food is terrific!! Fair prices and real lamb in the gyros.

YUM. Definitely some great Greek food in Missoula. Plenty of street parking right out front. I can see why my to go order was going to take 45 minutes. This place was very busy with so many orders coming in and people picking up. The food is a good price, you get a big portion, and it is warm and tastes great. The staff was funny and friendly. They were doing their best to get all the orders out before they closed. They worked well as a cohesive unit. I got the Chicken plate about $12 but plenty of food and delicious. We also tried the Greek salad with Chicken about $11. Good salad and large portion as well. We got the fries and they were a great compliment to the chicken plate. We also tried the Spanakopita, and it was very good too. I enjoyed this place and the meal and would definitely go back. I could eat this food every week.

I think it's funny how Missoulians rave about this place. It's like one of three Greek food options within a 100 mile radius, so I feel this establishment does the bare Montana minimum when it could be so much better. Their tzatziki sauce is weak: it's just chopped up cucumbers in yogurt. A good tzatziki actually tastes like cucumber because it's grated in. Tasteless iceberg lettuce on gyros (versus a good romaine) and chunks of strong onions that'll overpower your gyro, versus thinly sliced red onions. But I'll give them some credit for the awesome baklava and good service. And the mall location usually has some cool stuff playing on TV.

Quality food and service! My grandson from Davenport IA absolutely loves the chicken strips & fries! Generally we try to stop before a Paddlehead baseball game and they are very accommodating! Their staff is a well oiled machine that puts out a LOT of food! I highly recommend it

Stopped for takeout. Got a greek salad with chicken, egg roll and pita bread. Delish!!! Courteous staff and reasonably priced.

Can't say enough good things about this place. I lived in the Zoo for 15 years and frequented #1 for all those years. It's the only restaurant I truly miss from the Zoo. Go here, you won't be let down - authentic food, wonderful staff and unforgettable charm. Miss you #1!!!

Can't believe you can find authentic Gyros in Missoula Mt. ! This was a small, well executed place. Can't miss it! Absolutely awesome!!!

YALL! When I say this is the BEST food I've ever had, just know it. We're traveling from Ohio and this is the best food we've had in the 8 states we've tried! The staff is so friendly and you can tell they put so much love into their food. They're so organized, communicate well and work amazing together. Everything is super clean too. There isn't a lot of tables to sit at but the MINUTE someone leaves they're cleaning so it's ready to go. I would literally move to montana just for this restaurant alone! Incredible!

This place hands down deserves 5 stars! We have been coming here for years now and their food is consistently and deliciously on-point. Their portions are very generous and they do not skimp on flavor. Even the portions on the items from the kids menu are huge. The gyros are packed full of delicious and perfectly flavored meat. The meat they use is heavenly and oh-so flavorful. It's what dreams are made of. They also have the best fries in Missoula! Whether you order the regular fries or the Greek fries, you will NOT be disappointed. This is not a fancy, high end restaurant. It's even better! It is family owned and they are always so friendly and put their heart and soul into this restaurant and it shows. When you eat here, you feel like you are eating with family and I have never said that about any other restaurant before. Due to COVID, they serve everything in a to-go bag but you can still eat inside of you choose. They also have some picnic tables outside if you are more comfortable being in an open space. We just ate lunch there today and I noticed that every time a customer would leave, the staff was on top of wiping down the table and chairs. These guys work hard and the place is always busy, yet they have consistently remained top notch. I definitely recommend giving them a try if you haven't already.

Fucking. Delicious. What else do you need to hear? I found this place on Yelp while my New York self was craving falafel. OMG I was not disappointed! Falafel Plate was fresh and amazing and the staff is super nice as well. They immediately picked up that I was vegan and swapped in hummus for the non-vegan ingredients to my delight. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend this place if you're in Missoula, Montana.

These definitely don't beat the gyros I had in Greece, but they're absolutely delicious. I've been to Missoula many times, but this was my first time at #1 gyros. Ww both got the traditional greek gyro with all of the toppings. At only $6.50 you're not going to find a better deal on something so filling. The food came out quickly and was all wrapped up tightly. Everything tastes great. The meat is fresh, the vegetables were good and the tzatiki was very flavorful. My only compliant would be that they put A LOT of sauce on it, so it was falling apart towards the end. I love me some tzatiki, but I wish it had been a little less. I didn't try them, but the special fries look amazing. Definitely on my list for next time. With how close it is to Food Farm and how affordable and fresh it was, I will be making myself a regular here on my yearly trips to Missoula.

The ultimate gyro made by a family with Greek roots! This humble eatery will ruin you for any other gyro; I speak from experience. This is the perfect gyro, and the Greek fries are equally addictive! If you're in a rush, call ahead for pickup. But don't eat the food fast. It deserves to be savored. The staff is wonderful, but the seating is limited. I love this place!

We ordered food to go in the restaurant then they brought the food out to our car. While we started eating in our car, they realized they forgot the baklava we ordered so they ran out and gave us an extra piece and some extra hummus and babaganoush as well. I got the Gyro sample plate which comes with a full side of fries. My friend got a chicken souvlaki. The food was well seasoned and came out hot. Service was great and the staff was friendly. We would definitely return!

Easily one of the best lunch spots in town. Get the lunch special and you'll be well fed for the day.

Update: Ordered online on a Saturday night at 6:30. When I saw the pick-up time, I called to cancel my order (I had hangry kids). I didn't want to pull a Karen, just had to make sure to feed the littles before they lost their marbles. Within five minutes of calling to cancel the order, they called me back and said that they could get it ready if I could hurry up and be there in 15-30 minutes. As always, the food was amazing. Even MORE amazing are the wonderful folks who work here. Seriously, the nicest people ever. Actually, it's a tie because both are the best around.

The food is terrible!!!! The the most disgusting greek food I ever tried in my entire life!!

Gyros with garlic dressing. Always busy with repeat customers. Inside and outside seating.

Great food, friendly service, clean restroom and nice little outdoor eating area. Definitely worth stopping by!

This has been one of my favorite spots since I was a kid. I definitely recommend calling in ahead it's always busy!

I found this place while in the Southgate Mall doing some shopping. It is right at the center so it's easy to find. I had their "special" with gyro, fries and a drink. I opted for the Greek fries which were excellent. They are topped with salt, oregano and lemon juice. . Super delicious. The gyro was good; I liked that the meat was grilled on the spinning, vertical rotisserie. The side of tzatziki sauce was a bit bland, but perked up with just a bit of salt. A great lunch fir $13!

An incredibly efficient, hard working, delicious joint. This is/was a take-out, but under the 'circumstances,' we could not enjoy dining at the few tables they had. But while watching them, every phone call was answered; every order was made; and, everyone was taken care of. Tons of Doordash people here. I couldn't have been more impressed. It's everything that you want in a college town. They serve an amazing gyro, and they have been doing it since the 70s. Our gyros were robust, savory, and are now on the way to our digestive system. And their hummus would make a garlic lover blush. But we love all that, haha. It's not in a hipster area, so keep that in mind. I thought everything they did was fantastic, but I'm hammered so...

This place is the best. Great food and a great Team. You all make the best Gyros. Thanks for all you do.

Delicious!! Great lunch after a run up the M! Fast and friendly service. Generous baklava portions and pleasant outdoor seating area.

AMAZING! Just like we had in Greece(maybe even better) The staff is about as nice as they come

Been a customer since 1980. They've only gotten better. Great gyros and the sauces are amazing. The best and most generous baklava I've ever had. The filling:phyllo ratio is perfect and they soak it in the most flavorful syrup, you can taste the generations perfecting these recipes.

I love this place! I've been eating Gyros here since they opened in 1977 and my Dad took me there at age 11 ! The staff is very efficient and polite, they go out of their way to make every visit great ! The Tzaziki is fresh made and super good !

The food is always amazing, chicken souvlaki is so flavorful and the amount of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and sauce is crazy. Come here hungry. I don't know what they put on the Greek fries but they are too delicious to stop eating until you're too full to move. They are always crazy-busy when we go so there's usually a wait. But the food is worth the wait, the staff is friendly, offer great service, and the gyros and souvlaki are always hot, fresh, and delicious.

'I wish I could stop eating this gyro' I thought to myself as I took two or three huge bites at a time. The enormous classic gyro is more addictive with each bite, the cravings begin when you witness them cutting the meat right in front of you. The baklava here is better than the one I had in Paris, its sweet, sticky, balanced in flavor and texture. The fries are crispy, and the employees are zesty as well. You can't beat $6.50 for the tastiest gyro (with feta added, of course). The other highlight of this restaurant is the ample people watching from your seats. Where else can you go for big meat flavors as well as seeing an actual boob pop out of a sun dress in the parking area? It's pronounced gyro, not gyro.

Pretty much the only place to go for Greek food in Missoula. It offers standard fast food Greek fare at a reasonable price. The people serving the food are nice, their Baklava is good. They don't use lamb/sheep meat so they are missing an opportunity to offer something different there.

Great food. Reasonable price. Fun atmosphere. Only knock on them was the customer service. We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time, there were five employees and we just stood there for almost 10 minutes before somebody finally took our order. I think that was just a fluke. Would absolutely return again.

My sister-in-law and I like to go out to lunch and we always go here. Where else?? The original gyros is an original star!! And the Greek fries!! Wow!! The food is consistently outstanding and fresh. We always go early because it's so popular but it's never a long wait. I'm sure other things are delicious but why order something else when I dream of the gyros!! Highly, highly recommend!!!!

When you are the best you are the best. Was born and raised in this place...literally, the grandmother use to help babysit me. You won't find better meat or pita bread grilled just right.

I'm from Southern California and this is hands down the best gyro I have ever had. Montana wins again. I added olives. Highly recommend. Super sweet staff as well. Easy no pay parking is a bonus.

These guys never disappoint. The food is fresh, well prepared and delicious. The lines are the price of them being good at what they do. And if you call and order they estimate wait time almost perfectly. Favorite fast food place in town

These gyros are 10/10. Definitely one of my favorite places in town. The green fries and baklava are so good. Service is great and staff are super friendly!

What a little hidden gem in Missoula! We needed something quick, near downtown, and delicious and this place delivered on all fronts. Went with my family and we all ordered gyros and a side of their battered fries. One side of fries can easily be shared. Super tasty! They are not shy with the tzatziki sauce, so maybe get in the side if you like it lighter. Service was super Montana friendly. They seem to have a great crew. Even though the inside is small- they have a cute outdoor patio with picnic tables.

I always stop here when I travel to or through Missoula. I need a gyro fix from time to time and theirs are great. Pleasant staff too. Thanks for not making me wear a mask.

Not sure how many times we have been by this place but are now sorry for all the times we could have eaten there! Walked in early to pay and then wait to pickup an order. They were able to get the order out early and the food was awesome. Gyros and a Greek Salad with gyro meat, very good.

This is our go to for an inexpensive, quality and local meal. I've had the regular gyro meat and the pork souvlaki. I like both of them, but think the gyro meat is better because it's "dissolved in your mouth" tender.

Delicious wraps and fries! Chicken souvlaki and Greek fries are my regular order. Love going here, all the employees are so kind and always smiling.

A local staple. Across the street from Orange St. Grocery. Together they epitomize MSO's "gritty" history. Fills my cheap eats cravings and definitely serves the best gyros anywhere outside of NYC or Chicago that I've tried. Go anywhere else for Greek in the Rockies and you'll probably be disappointed.

Excellent giro and the fries are the best! The Greek fries make the place a destination

This gem restored my love for gyros! They did a great job. I prefer a crispier pita and when requested, they cooked it perfectly! Indoor and outdoor seating was great. Very basic dining room.

Frequently visit Missoula from San Diego and this shop is always included in my "wish list" of dining spots. Everyone always makes you feel like family. You'll never leave hungry!

I have been going since I was a kid when they first opened - these are the kindest people and let's face it...the food is second to none! This is one of the best ever places... I'm a fan for life.

Excellent Greek food fast and friendly staff The gyro salad is my favorite as the Greek fries Often pick up the meat uncooked and cook later as we live one hour away Just delicious

High tier desserts. Great gyros, great everything! Good fries, good beef, good food. Only downside is wait. But this place is top notch.
