There, they opened a Greek restaurant. Thinking they were in Goshen, they went inland to look for the pyramids and ended up in Brandon. They liked it there so they opened a restaurant selling gyros and poboys to the natives. And it's that way still today. Regardless of the history, Kismet's is a good place to eat and be satisfied. It's sandwiches of various notable cultures. The gyro, poboy and cheeseburger are well represented. It seems like there were several other things on the menu. I had the gyro and it was good with an abundance of meat. The onion rings are also very good. This is not a chain. It's patrolled by people who are friendly and look after you very carefully. It was also well staffed (friendly people abounded). So go. It's a place of generous abundance. The only scarcity is scarcity itself.

Either way your food will be made fresh (very quickly too) and served by some of the friendliest people you've ever met. Also the food is very inexpensive which is a definite plus. If you're from outside the Jackson area you should totally check this place out when your in town. Skip the chains and make the drive to Brandon.

The food was decent. The gyro meat was sliced a bit too thick, but it still tasted good. read more The food was decent. The gyro meat was sliced a bit too thick, but it still tasted good.

Food was good, very small portions for the price. Also, they don't give a military discount. read more Food was good, very small portions for the price. Also, they don't give a military discount.
