We had just completed a meeting and were looking for a place for lunch. Not far from our hotel (Crowne Plaza, SPringfield) was Yanni's. Just down Stevenson in a non-descript strip mall - not the kind of place to beckon or even catch your eye. But I had researched TA for good food at a good price, so we searched... More

Based on recommendations from Trip Advisor and a craving for a gyro i decided to give Yannis Gyros a try. It doesn't look like much from the outside and it doesn't get much better inside but it's clean and the smell surrounding the place is the best kind of advertising you can get. The family is friendly and helpful and... More

This place is sooo yummy. I have only had the gyro here because I can't try anything else because the gyro is that good. The price is also not bad either. Around 5-7 dollars for lunch

In addition to gyros, Yanni's serves spinach pies, dolmades, and other delicious Greek dishes. It is wonderful to have this ethnic cuisine in Springfield.

You can tell they have great food by how busy the lunch crowd is. The portions are large and full of flavor! I have tried several things on the menu and all were great and a good value.

This is a little hole in the wall place in a out of the way strip mall, and the menu is limited, but the gyros are terrific. Once in a while they will have specials, and they are also good, but the gyros are what we go for.

These guys know how to make a fine gyro....and that sauce, yum! Chocolate baklava is worth a try too! Go hungry, the gyro basket will definitely fill you up!

A modest counter service with adequate inside seating. Gyros was very generous and delicious. We ate here twice during a one week stay. A little hard to find since it is in an L shaped strip mall and it does not face Stevenson Drive. Don't give up looking though, it is worth the effort.
