The gyros were exceptional, packed with an abundance of meat—truly generous portions. The sauce was delicious, and I opted to skip the onions. The staff was friendly, even during the busy rush. It was definitely a stop worth making.

Poor Boy has been a favorite for years! My mom used to come here all the time because she loved the food, and I love it too. The service is great, and the food is fresh and delicious!

I ordered the buffalo chicken tenders and Greek fries. Unfortunately, the tenders tasted like they were just microwaved for a few minutes, resembling something from Tyson. They weren't fried at all, lacking any crispiness and freshness. The Greek fries were acceptable, but definitely not fresh. I was quite disappointed. It was disheartening, especially since I spent $35 and we didn't even finish our meal. It was very busy, and maybe they were rushing, but I wouldn't have minded waiting half an hour for fresh, hot food. We even ended up going to McDonald's afterward to make up for it.
