Where Valparaiso Eats
King Gyros has been feeding Valparaiso for nearly forty years — and the line out the door still says everything you need to know.
King Gyros | Our Story
The Place on Lincolnway
King Gyros opened on Lincolnway in 1985, and the arched roofline and seascape mural tell you this place was built to last. What started as a neighborhood spot became a generational institution.
The Gyro That Made the Name
The Gyro Platter arrives piled high — Olympia cones, expertly seasoned meat, real feta, tzatziki, and enough for four sandwiches. First-timers say it feels like a full sit-down Greek restaurant.
Greek, Mediterranean, Indiana
Italian beef on a crusty roll, a breaded pork tenderloin locals swear is the best in town, pizza puffs, and Chicago-style hot dogs — Greek tradition and Midwestern comfort on one menu.
A Town's Loyalty, Earned
Regulars move out of state and make King Gyros their first stop back in Valpo. Valparaiso University students discover it freshman year and never shake the habit.
Recognized, Then and Now
Inducted into the Vienna Beef Hot Dog Hall of Fame in 2006 and a Northwest Times Best of Region winner. The Columbus Dispatch called it "king-size portions and big flavors" — nearly forty years in, nothing has changed.
