Randomly craved Mediterranean food and ended up at Argo! At the front counter, there's a really helpful binder with pictures of all the different side options and what they consist of. I opted for a chicken kabob plate with a side of salad, hummus, and labni. I could tell this place makes everything to order because it did take a bit to finally get our food, but when we did it was hot and looked very fresh. I can honestly say this is one of the best Mediterranean meals I've had. Not to mention, the portions are huge! Two people could easily share a combo plate. Surprisingly, before we ordered, two people picking up their food mentioned that this place is delicious, and now after trying it, I have to agree. Once again, I love how fresh everything tasted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus, the space is clean and there are plenty of tables to dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My coworker actually turned me onto this place. He said it was the best Mediterranean food that he's ever had.... He says ever since coming here that he compares every other mediterranean food place to this restaurant . So I said cool let's go check it out... And I have to agree with him. It is delicious. I had the kebab sandwich which comes with these fried what I believe is pita bread and they kind of remind you of Mexican style chips, and they were delicious the pita with the chicken and all the other ingredients that have inside of it is just awesome. He is completely right this place is amazing... The gentleman that works there is really cool and down to earth and friendly and just makes everything that much better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself is really nice , clean and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have some really cool music playing in the background very relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a really simple mom and pop place and I think that's why it's so good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And like I always say, try it out for yourself and I know you won't be disappointed. It's just delicious. read more

The food is delicious but why in the hell does their garlic sauce suck? It's ALWAYS spoiled or taste like garbage. What a shame. Whoever is preparing the garlic needs to be fired. I've never tasted the worst tasting garlic until Argo. It's only been in the last year where I take a small bite of it and have to spit it out. Fix your garlic and make it fresh. You smell how bad it is right away. I would want to rate them back to 5 stars again but I can't now because every single time I have ordered from them I had to throw out their sauce. Disappointing. read more

Lived in Laverne for 30 years and never been at this location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small location in the heart of downtown Laverne.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife and I tried the Lamb and chicken bowls. Portion size was good. Everything tasted fresh and well done. Pricing was reasonably. There was a wait once we got there as local school had some graduate parties close by. Guy at register said he would bring out our food which made me nervous as there were a few orders moving. After about 12 minutes he brought our order to the table and it was 100% right. I would come back for sure. read more

This was a favorite of my sister and decided to try it out! There is a parking lot a few blocks away that is for the rest of the stores if you are having trouble finding street parking. Service was not slow as we were the only ones during that time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of parking and not too noisy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the chicken kabob plate and beef kabob plate with a choice of two sides. The chicken came with hummus and salad for the sides. The beef kabob had hummus and tzatziki. I really enjoyed the sides a lot with the pita bread! Chicken wasn't too dry, and the steak was not chewy. Sides were overall fresh and delish! Would come here again. read more

Located in downtown La Verne close to the new La Verne Metro Station, Argo Mediterranean Grille is one of many varietal restaurants in the area. I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday, and found the food and service to be solid. Argo has been at this location for 10 years, and opened a second location in Studio City in 2023. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a bit empty when I stopped in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a fast food set-up, where you look at above screen menus, order and pay. The freshly made food is then brought out to you for dine-in[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. There is a self-serve soda machine and a tap with 5 beer choices. The food came out about 10 minutes after ordering, and went really well with the pint of Blue Moon ($8). The beef combo ($20.99) plate came with 3 piece chicken kabob, 3 piece beef kabob, and choice of sides (got the hummus and tzatsiki), a few pickled vegetables, and a pita. Both the beef and chicken were good, with the beef being especially of good quality. The hummus was solid, and the tzatsiki wasn't just a runny sauce from the grocery store, but a solid starter. It also came with one garlic sauce and a good rice pilaf with vermicelli (Lebanese style). It was a filling meal, taking a bit of time to finish. Sometimes not planning for a restaurant during a trip works out, and it certainly did this time. read more

Argo (The Ship) I have had many Mediterranean spots through the years, and I must say, ARGO ranks with the best of them. Situated on D Street in La Verne, Argo is a staple of the La Verne community. Their food is ALWAYS fresh and consistent. The prices are a little high, but the plates are hearty and well overfilling. From the kabobs to the Falafel, every bite is pure deliciousness! They have the best garlic sauce that they give you on the side with every order. The garlic sauce/paste is pure perfection! I put that on everything, and you will too, if you are a garlic enthusiast. If you love Mediterranean, then you'll love ARGO. They have 2 locations, one in La Verne and one in Studio City, and well worth the drive if you are hungry. read more

The place is a hidden treasure. Food was both delicious and well made. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of seating inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We found public parking behind this restaurant. Up to 90 minutes during the week. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is very bright inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience matches the greeting we received.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The worker was very kind and went out of his way to treat us well. He even offered refills before he closed up. The lamb kabobs plate was flavorful and filled me up. The lamb was very juicy and tender. You get 2 sides with pita bread, rice, and your meat. read more

Service: 1* [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience: 4*[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Taste: 4* Stopped by here for lunch at 11:30am. No one to take an order all in the kitchen making food. After waiting about 10 minutes someone came out and acted surprised to see a line of customers. She said, oh we aren't ready yet, we aren't open. Someone behind me said your hours say 11:3am and the door is unlocked. She looked up and said 'oh yeah'. Strange. She disappeared into the kitchen without a word and someone else came up to help. He took the orders and after another 15 minutes, the food was delivered. I ordered the beef lule plate with hummus and tabbouleh. The meat was good, flavorful, and tender. The hummus was creamy and hit the spot. The tabbouleh was okay, it needed more lemon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice little spot in Old Town La Verne, just arrive after 11:30am.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We needed a family celebration catered. we're from out of town and used Yelp to help us find a reputable business. We chose Argo Mediterranean Grille. We were not disappointed. We had a group of around 25-people. We spoke with Adam about what we wanted to order and vegan options. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The lamb chops were delicious as were the chicken kabobs, Falafel and pepper and tomatos. The hummus and taboule were delicious. Everyone was well fed and there were plenty of leftovers for the next day! Delivery was on time! Great experience and would highly recommend. read more

The place gives great portions very good prices...I had the lamb chops...they weren't seasoned that much or very well...I've had better at other Mediterranean places. The rice, humas and other side are very good. I'd eat there again. Diplomat's in Monrovia and Glendora have very good seasoned Lamb chops...that's the standard I was hoping to get here. read more

Go for the pita chips! Dip them in the garlic spread. It's a must. I go for the lamb.

Chicken kebob plate is always on point! Fluffy hummus, warm pita bread. Perfectly cooked and flavorful chicken. Highly recommend

Nice, clean, casual restaurant located near University of La Verne. We were greeted by a friendly cashier and ordered combo llates. Food was fresh, flavorful & delicious. Ordered salmon, shrimp, chicken, hummus, pita chips and baklava for dessert. Noticed that there is a lot of Grubhub/ Uber eats orders. Will definitely be coming back to this place! read more

Aside from the bad service we got the food was okay. Waited over 40 minutes for our food for it to come out cold. We were the only customer in line and didn't have a complicated order. They did remake our food with out hassle so I'm happy about that. But I do recommend getting an appetizer and a drink with your order as you'll be waiting a bit. The falafel was good and the meats tasted good. The eggplant and tomato tasted like salsa. This place has potential but needs a good lead chef. Pricing is the same as other similar places. read more

Read the raving reviews and ordered a catering tray for a family lunch (11 adults). Ordered chicken/beef tray, Greek chicken salad, and extra garlic sauce. - Friendly, wonderful service. - Easy way to pay. - DELICIOUS food - both chicken and beef were juicy and flavorful. The rice was SO good as everyone said. We did not need to order the extra garlic sauce; there was a generous amount of food. Family said this was one of the best Mediterranean food they've had. - Careful packaging - aluminum trays & cardboard boxes to keep everything neat and hot/cold. Thank you! We can't wait to come back and try other items! read more

The pita chips are the best I have ever had. They are thin, crispy and well seasoned. I got the beef kabob plate and they do not mess around with portions. The beef kabob pieces were a bit large to be eating in a hotel room with no knife, but the beef was cooked perfectly. The rice, hummus and tzatziki were spot on and packed with flavor. Ohhh the grilled tomato and pepper was bursting with flavor. Ending the night feeling very stuffed and very happy! read more

Got food poisoning here a few years ago. Stopped going. Used to love the food here but after Covid, their food safety went way down hill.

Argo is one of those places that I discovered a few years back, and I can't stop going. The food is beautifully seasoned and insanely tasteful. I've introduced my family, friends, and coworkers to this place, and they all love it. We all collectively agree that their pita chips are one of the best things in existence. My go-to order is the spicy chicken plate with hummus, tzatziki, and a half bag of pita chips! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Oh and the restaurant is beautiful styled with Greek style atmosphere and decor[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and their servers/cashiers are amazing. Adam, Michelle, etc. and all of their amazing chefs working hard in the back! read more

It had been a while since I last visited Argo. I remember when it first opened. I stopped by recently to get dinner. The inside looks the same. Bright wall paintings and lizard decorations. The menu still looked the same from what I recalled. You still order at the counter towards the front, and then the cashier brings your order to you. They have drinks and utensils to the right of the order area. I ordered a chicken kebab sandwich. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The veggies looked and tasted fresh. The garlic spread isn't too strong, which I preferred. The pita chips are so tasty. They're thin, crispy, and seasoned well. The customer service is relaxed. If you need something, you go to the front to speak with the cashier. Overall, it was nice to visit a restaurant I used to frequent. I will be visiting again soon. read more

OMG.. ordered their catering lamb kabobs feeds 10 to 13.. The portions were generous. We are big eaters!! Had left overs. ( 13 were in our group) Lamb was tender, salad and rice delicious. We also order their grape leaves.. have have been eating grape leaves for over 50 yrs. These did not taste like my grandmothers. But they were hand rolled , the spices were different.. my family really liked them. From ordering to changing the order to delivering service was outstanding and patient. Thanks for a great meal.

Solid choice for the fresh Mediterranean flavors. Exceptional friendly service provided by Michelle.

I'm a regular here and always enjoy the food -- it's consistently great, and that's never an issue. However, I've noticed that during the lunch rush, they seem a bit understaffed. The same person handling the register is also bringing food out to tables, which can slow things down. Since many people are on a limited lunch break, a quicker ordering process would really help. It would be great if they could bring in a bit more help during peak hours to reduce wait times and keep things moving smoothly. read more

I was invited to lunch by a friend who shared that Argo had recently remodeled and was now a little more relaxed and the food service had improved.

My daughter wanted mediterranean food after our pedicure appt. I used yelp to look for a place near her area & Argo was the closest to her home. My daughter ordered the shrimp Platter & I ordered the falafel Platter. Both had huge portions. What I really liked was that they didn't skimp on the bread or the sauces. The food is flavourful & I really liked the rice. The pickled turnips tasted a little dirty but my daughter loved them. The restaurant is located next to the uniuniversity of La Verne in a quaint little village with brick & mortar stores. Plenty of parking lots & street parking. The restaurant is very clean but there aren't a whole lot of tables and chairs. The only con I have, but is not a restaurant con, is that I've been looking for a mediterranean restaurant that carries a green sauce I love. Everyplace I tried only has hummus or garlic sauce. The service is really good too. Someone ordered food to go and I guess they didn't come in so the girl asked my daughter is she wanted fries for my granddaughter for free. Of course, we said yes. We went during lunch so it was definitely quiet for Monday. I would definitely come back. read more

I was craving Mediterranean food, and based on the reviews I decided to try Argo. I ordered a chicken kebab plate to go. I was able to find parking across the street right away. When I walked in, the place was bright and spacious. The gentleman that gave me my order told me he gave me some extra garlic spread and pita bread, which was a nice addition. There was plenty of food, enough for lunch for the next day as well. The chicken was cooked really well, they give you a ton of rice and a choice of 2 sides. I decided to try the hummus and tabouli for my sides. I thought it was delicious and very reasonably priced. I would definitely come back and try the LuLe if I was in the area for work again. read more

The Mediterranean food here is very fresh! Highly recommend and would come again. The inside is your casual dining spot. Service is great and helpful if you need any recommendations. We tried the 2 meat plate. Lamb lule and the beef kabob. Lamb lule 9/10 - definitely would get again. It is well seasoned. My fiancé really liked this meat. He said it was very juicy. Beef kabob 8/10 - solid kabob. Meat was tender and had a good char. You get 2 sides and a pita bread. The pita bread was stale. But the sides are great. We tried tzatziki and mutabbal (eggplant dip). Highly recommend both of these sides!! So creamy and flavorful. Overall we would come back if we were in the area. read more
