Flame Skewer - Ames

I absolutely adore this cozy family-owned restaurant. Despite being located in a mall, it still retains its small-town charm and welcoming atmosphere. The gyro meal is absolutely scrumptious. While I've been tempted to sample other Greek dishes on the menu, the gyro always draws me back in.

In general, I had a positive experience at this restaurant. The service was fast and friendly, and our drinks were refilled often. They do not offer wifi or delivery, but they do cater events. Additionally, there is a bike rack available for customers.

The food was excellent and the service was incredibly fast! I received all of my food in less than 15 minutes.

It’s hard to find decent gyros in Iowa, this the exception. The meat was not greasy, light and perfectly seasoned. There was a lot of it! The pita bread was grilled and not burnt. Now let’s discuss the little things. Real sweet butter in a larger single serving packet. Creamy and smooth and not frozen. The salt and pepper shakers were clean inside and outside. The glimpse into the kitchen showed a clean well organized space. Twinkly lights around the ceiling perimeter to set a wonderful ambience. Go eat here, you won’t be disappointed

My family and I have been coming to Flame and Skewer for 20+ years. Great food. We always get the Gyro dinner share a large Greek salad. Really haven’t tried anything else because we love Gyro so much. Found out a while ago you can order the Gyro meat by the pound to go... so have been doing that recently. Love it! Thank You Keep up the great work! We will be coming back!!!
