One of the best Gyros I have had, they have the process down to a science. Other food items are good, but it is the Gyros that I crave.

Get a taste of Ames local Flame and Skewer. Located in the mall, north of town across from Cookies, etc. Pop in for a small, family owned restaurant experience. The food was great! Both of us had the euro meal, which is their specialty. We were given fresh fries, a hot peta, and plenty of euro meet. This is not your average sports bar in town. It is quiet and relaxed, good for families.
