Founaris Brothers - Penacola, FL

On the way home, we encountered some thunderstorms on the freeway, which make driving very unnerving, especially when we have such a long way to go. So the trusty Yelp came in handy again. Amazingly, there's a great option on Yelp. We picked Greek!

The place is kinda hidden on the side of the road. The building looks like a smaller version of Denny's. But you'll find the place is very much a mom and pop shop. Part of a small town where their push for people to relate to Greek is 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'.
They are big on spaghetti and pizza. But I got their gyro bowl. It's essentially rice at the bottom, gyro meat and pita corner. The rice was good and lightly soaked in olive oil with little tomato. The meat was a tad dry, but it mixed well with rice.

For in the middle of nowhere, I think this is decent. The service is great, and that is definitely part of the small town thing. Unfortunately, because it's a small town, I think they felt like they have to make a lot of things to pleased the people of the town, which translate to suffer in quality
