Yes, there are both Greek and non Greek restaurants all over the US that sell Gyros.

We have plenty of Greek places in the city. I haven't seen many in small rural towns, except at the county fair.

Perhaps the most mispronounced food item in the U.S. There's a ton of gyro shops near me and I'm convinced now there is no right or wrong way to say it. When I was in Greece they called them "year-ohs"....then again, the gyro was invented in the US so who's to say that's right? |

If the meat isn't supplied by Kronos or homemade it generally tastes like shit. No idea about rural gyro joints, though. I had one in Iowa City and it was disgusting.

Growing up in a county that had 2000 people we had a little place that served gyros but the meat was frozen and heated up on a griddle
I have only seen the spit in more urban areas |

They are a lot less common in the sticks around here. You can find the occasional family run German restaurant in the middle of nowhere that is awesome.

I just watched a video on YouTube that was a tour of Kronos I think it was on zagat's channel. Pretty neat but kind of wish I hadn't watched it. Edit I believe the Kronos guy said they supply over 90% of the gyro meat in the country |

We have a few local places that are amazing. Even a food truck that pops up, they usually run out of food a little after noon.

Pretty much everywhere in the Chicago area has Kronos supply gyro meat and Vienna Beef supply hot dogs and Polishes (one of the bright spots of this shithole is the food). I can really taste the difference when a place offers other brands and so can most people I know. Those joints never really last. |

Plenty of good Greek restaurants with authentic Gyros here on Long Island. Ironically though, the best Philly Cheese Steak I've ever had was in a small Greek restaurant near the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. |

The Mad Greek in Baker, CA has the best Gyro. Drove by it many times and thought the "world's best gyro" sign was a BS gimmick to get you to stop. Guy at work told me they actually were good so I stopped once and they were damn good. Also great Strawberry shakes.

For any of you in NC, if you happen to find yourself near Jacksonville (J-Action-Ville), Jesse's on Western Blvd makes the best gyro I've ever had. Knew a Greek gal there that said they were as authentic as any she's ever had in the U.S.

Their Gyros are awesome, and they also make great Mousaka and Spanakopita. |

We have a great Greek joint in town that makes an excellent gyro. Just had to get my fix last weekend.
You want gyro overload? Hit up Tarpon Springs, FL. Every other store is selling good Greek food. (The others are selling sponges and olive oil soap!) |

In England the Gyro kiosks would slice off the top of the bread and place the meat and such inside of it, have never seen that done here in the U.S.

You give me five dollars and I give you good sandwich. 
But, not. Not too many good greek places out in the country. Or any ethnic food, really. Around here, if you're not in the Dayton/Cinci trough, you're in the sticks, more or less. And you get home cooked country food at mom and pops or fast food...some small towns have decent pizza joints and Americanized Chinese take out.

We have a place in Greenville, SC that sells Gyro off of a rotisserie. They also sell shawarma.

If you've got a Pita Pit nearby, they sell (kinda) a Gyro - preformed meat slices heated up on the flat-top.
I vastly prefer hand sliced meat from the Kronos vertical logs, and there are plenty of places in my AO that offer just that. |
