Glory Bound Gyro Co.
Ocean Springs, MS
Glory Bound Gyro Co. serves Southern-style gyros, rotating hummus, and hand-cut fries, with craft beer and live music on a downtown patio.
Atmosphere
Glory Bound takes up a street-level spot on Government Street in downtown Ocean Springs, and the patio is the draw. It has its own outdoor bar, and live music plays there on Friday and Saturday nights. Inside you get regular tables, high-tops, and a bar counter, all pitched at casual and relaxed. The room has the easy energy of a place that is as much a hangout as a restaurant: people arrive for a gyro and end up staying for another round. Weekend brunch starts at 10 a.m. with mimosa and Bloody Mary specials, and a weekday happy hour has been listed from 3 to 6.
What to Order
Go for the Pepperjack Gyro, which comes with bacon and comeback sauce and runs about $14 on the current menu. It is the dish the Ocean Springs kitchen is best known for, and the sauce is the reason. The other headline item is the hummus. Flavors rotate, and a sampler lets you try three at once, so you can graze while the gyros are made. Fries are hand-cut, and the kitchen fries in beef tallow, which gives them a deeper flavor than the usual freezer-bag stuff. The Ocean Springs menu also carries Gulf seafood dishes, like a seafood dip and a seared ahi tuna plate, that the other locations do not have.
Good to Know
This downtown kitchen opened in June 2018 and serves lunch and dinner daily, with later hours on the weekend. Listings disagree on closing times, and the official menu page shows 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, so check current hours before a late Friday or Saturday plan. Street parking downtown fills up during festivals and weekend evenings, so give yourself a few extra minutes to circle. Live music on the patio is a Friday and Saturday feature. Ordering ahead through DoorDash works if you want the food but not the crowd.
Our Take
Glory Bound is the pick for a relaxed downtown night with friends, especially on a warm Friday when the patio band is playing. Skip the hunt for a fancy dinner here. Order the Pepperjack Gyro and a hummus sampler, split both, and grab a table outside before the music starts. Confirm the current hours, and plan to park a block or two away.
