The line stretches out the door to get to the narrow counter where Kostas Fostieris has been serving customers for going on three decades. The white Greek captain’s hat and the husky commanding voice make it clear who is in charge. The piles of freshly prepared food ready to be dished out make you reconsider just going with a gyro. The servings are so large that it is common knowledge that a lunch platter will also get you through dinner. Repeat customers learn to plan accordingly.
There is limited seating outside, none inside. Most pick up and go back to the offices in the greater Farragut area. Open during weekdays only.
