Tried this for the first time today. Had a lamb bowl. So fresh, plenty of food, great price. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is for beverages. No fountain drinks. Settled for bottled water. read more

The Gyro and fries combo was pretty good but I think it could use a bit more fries. I was surprised at how little they put with the meal but I guess that's what you get for $5.95? They were well seasoned and cooked to order so that made me want more. I also wish they had more of a selection like dolmades, falafel, and baba ghannouj. Skip the baklava. It was a Fail ...overly sweet and mushy which was a big surprise when I bit into it. It was not the crisp or flaky baklava I'm used to. I couldn't even finish it and it was a small piece too. I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Do not be turned away by the location and size of this restaurant as it is more of a take out restaurant than dine in!! Their food was VERY fresh, especially their hummus. It's more like chipotle-style serving. You pick what you want to put on your wrap or pita. They have fries here too, that are pretty well seasoned just not salty really, if that makes sense. Their portions are on point with price. Their staff is amazing; super patient and very welcoming! Definitely coming back here many more times!! read more

Food is really really good and authentic, service leaves something to be desired. Worth going to if you are at the mall or in the area, not worth going to if you have to drive a decent distance. read more

Small place with good, fresh food. Service was fast and meal was tasty. My spouse and I each had vegetarian options, but was offered a sample of the lamb. It was delicious also. Will be back. read more

Service was quick and pleasant so no complaints there. And the portion was huge so definitely cannot complain there. I got the gyro (please tell me you pronounced gyro correctly in your head... if you are unsure that means you probably didn't. No prob! Most don't say it right) combo. Next time I'll pass on the drink it was kind of flavorless... maybe towards the end of the syrup?? Don't know. Fries were soggy and a little cold. I had just seen them drop more so I think I got the last of what was already prepared. Also think I got the end of the lamb. It was all chunks and not slices... still tasted good but a lot harder to eat that way. I'll be trying it again maybe I'll go in a little earlier or a little later to avoid getting the end of everything. Excited to try it when it's all fresh! read more

Choban Grill - Greek Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

SO GOOD. The owners are super sweet here. My friends and I showed up 10 minutes before closing by accident and the owner was so sweet and was still happy to serve us, even offering us refills and giving us the best service. The food was fresh and flavorful. Fairly priced and definitely worth every penny. My friends got traditionally gyros and I got a platter, all were huge portions! Definitely recommend! read more

Choban Grill - Lamb Gyro Combo - Greek Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

In a small strip of restaurants where there is Mexican, Italian, Sushi, Subway,on Phillips hwy and Shad rd. there is this Greek restaurant! It is small but you can get take out. The food is fresh and plentiful! Getting a good lamb gyro is harder to find in our location. This is a good one! The tabouli had too much parsley for my taste but the cucumber salad was spot on! read more

Omgosh I just had the best meal. Lamb huge gyro combo. I'm stuffed with leftovers! 2nd visit. Will be back

This is one of my favorite Mediterranean places to eat! Every time I've been in or ordered out, the guy working at the counter is super nice! The food is always great and made to order. This place is my go to when I'm craving a big lamb gyro! I called tonight about 15-20 min before closing time and the guy said no problem and come on in. Love this place! read more

No wonder the lunch line here is so long! Quality ingredients, generous portions, and did I say delicious? This is a new family favorite!

HANDS DOWN THE BEST GYRO IN TOWN!! I absolutely looooove this restaurant. Super friendly employees. The taziki sauce is fabulous! Can't drive past this place without stopping in for my gyro fix. Stuffed grape leaves are so yummy, too! Portions are huuuuuge. Looooove it here. read more

I had a gyro combo with fries. Everything was good and I liked the seasoning they put on the fries. The gyro was not the best I ever had but it was a solid option. They offered a refill on our drinks but I had already thrown away my cup. They were nice enough to give me a new one. read more

Love this place! Have been coming here for years. The food is normally very fresh and consistent. Occasionally, at night the meat gets dry. But the last two times i have been there have been great. Hummus is excellent! read more

Longtime reliable spot that delivers every time. I came in about half an hour before closing, but every item was prepared totally fresh. Beautifully tender lamb, marvelously moist chicken, top-tier falafel, satisfying seasoned fries, and kind service all the way. read more

It's 6:24pm on a Saturday. I'm sort of stuck on this side of town for the next 3 hours, and I'm hungry. I just spent five minutes waiting at the counter. There's no one in the front at all. Not sure how long I'm supposed to wait, but five minutes is actually past the awkward point. I'm heading somewhere else for dinner. read more

The lamb gyro platter was huge! And very good! Great food! Enjoyed their hummus and bread!

So while I truly love the taste of the food here I just can't accept their poor hygienic practices. To see the girl behind the counter using the same gloves to handle money from multiple people and then handling the food is disgusting. And then on top of that, when I kindly pointed out to her that people can get sick that way she proceeded to get angry with me and tell me "you didn't see what I did". Even though plane as day I could see her right thru the glass on the counter. Hopefully the owners of this establishment will teach their employees how to hand food the right way in order to prevent illness. read more

My tabouleh and gyro were soooooooooo good! The best I've had before. The service was good. The restaurant is showing some wear-tear to it. The tray that my food was served on, appeared to have dried food spilled on it. It wasnt a big deal to me though, because my food was served in a basket with paper, and foil. Also the tabouleh was in styrofoam, so nothing touched the tray. Some older yelp photos show a buffet, but I assume they don't do it anymore. At least there wasnt one on the weekday lunchtime that I went. read more

Food was ok. Istanbul grill is so much better even though I dont like either. Woman ruining the register was a horrible person. Pick somewhere else read more

We have been to Choban Grill twice now, after having just recently discovered this place. The first time, we cannot resist trying out their gyro, which was superb. We both vowed to come back and try the delicious looking buffet. That's why we came back so quickly after trying Choban the first time. The buffet was pretty good. It's not a 'server yourself' buffet though. They basically take a plate and go through each of the items asking what you would like to try and fill the plate for you. The food tasted good, especially since it is still a buffet. But I wonder how they will be able to keep it up if more people were to show up. Having a 'server' spooning out dishes on a plate for each customer can get a bit more time consuming, especially if people were to go in for seconds. In addition, the portion was really big. It wasn't an issue for me and my wife to finish since she actually proactively ask for less portion and less dishes. She knew she can always try the various dishes on my plate for just a taste. Even then, she still had trouble finishing her plate and had me help her. We both would feel bad if we had to leave food on the plate. But overall, we had great experience both times. The staff is very friendly. Everyone we've come across have been really nice. We also got the Turkish tea, was was a nice way to wrap up our meals. The gyro portion is big and their fries are indeed, delicious. We would go back again when craving a good gyro. read more

Unassuming eastern mediterranean featuring lamb, chicken and falafel gyro and salad. Pride of ownership is shown in the quality of the ingredients. My gyro was great as was my side of dolmades grape leaves. Good for lunch and quick dinner. read more

Great greek spot! I'm so happy I got a chance to grab me a gyro. Me and my love both got a gyro with fries, drink, 2 slices of baklava and complimentary tea and only spent around $20 which I think is a great deal for two. Man that gyro....my mouth is watering thinking about it. Since I loved the gyro so much, that's rpob what I'll stick to, but I'll keep an eye out on other reviews to see what to try. Pop in for lunch or a quick dinner. This place won't disappoint! Oh! I meant to add the staff is extremely friendly and nice. I felt like I was eating at a close friends house. read more

I had high hopes after reading all the reviews. I went with a co-worker yesterday around 2pm for a late lunch. I got the lamb gyro and tabouli. Very reasonably priced and the food was quite good although they were almost out of meat. My problem was the service. I waited for almost 10 minutes at the counter with no acknowledgement or greeting... and being the only customers in there, seems a bit unecessary. Then it took another 10 minutes to get my food froma choosing of essentially all pre-made food. We were not given an option for a buffet that I read about in all the reviews and the two girls behind the counter seemed very disinterested in giving us any feedback on what to get. Maybe I will give it another try during more regular lunch or dinner hours but if I am miffed with poor customer service, I generally don't return. read more

We had a really really good experience! Everything was very fresh and distinctly flavorful. I chose the lamb gyro platter to sample as many things as possIble. The owner was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back... I hope you'll give this I place a try! We tried to go back on a Sunday but they were closed. I understand everyone needs time off, but perhaps Sunday isn't the best day to close since many people eat out on weekends. read more

Very nice little Greek place with an owner from India! had a really great gyro with generous amounts of feta, tomatoes, cucumber salad (Choban) & Greek olives, plus a tasty tzatziki sauce. Choice of salad or fries, I had the fries with some seasonings. Generous portion of meat. They also have chicken gyro, vegetarian gyro and felafel. Also selling tabbouleh, hummus, grape leaves (dolmades) and baklava. Fresh brewed iced or hot tea. All fillings available as a wrap or rice & beans bowl instead of the gyro if desired. Combos & platters round out the menu, and they will sell the gyro lamb for $11.99 per pound. Not a bad place for Phillips Highway which has very few restaurants in that stretch. read more

The food has always been good however, last few times the lamb is dry. The customer service is horrible. From everyone in there including the owner. read more

I went there for lunch on a Friday and it was pretty busy. The place is small but very nicely set up with tables and plenty of room to sit and eat. It's nicely decorated. Definitely not a hole in the wall. This is not a full menu Greek restaurant. It's more along the lines of a place like Chipotle. You choose whether you want a pita, a wrap, salad or a bowl. You then choose the type of meat...chicken, Gyro, steak, or veggie. Then you add things like rice, beans, salad, cucumber sauce, chickpea sauce...veggies. I had a gyro and fries for $6.99 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The people were very nice and even gave me some extra french fries. I will definitely be back. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because their gyro meat wasn't what I am used to. I've had Gyro's from about 10 Greek places in my life and the meat has always been a little bit spicier...a little bit fattier. The meat that they use seemed not as seasoned or fatty, and honestly tasted more like steak. It was still really good, but some folks that have had gyro's before will know exactly what I mean when they taste the food. Still, awesome place and I know I'll be going there before the movies! read more

Choban has great food and the owner Jeff is great! I originally was going to get the Chicken Gyro Platter but then Jeff let me try the Lamb and it was a winner read more

Omg, Omg! Cheap, fast, healthy, huge portions and quite authentic. My wife and I have friends that live in Greece. This food is about as authentic as it gets. Massive portions and 3 cute girls behind the counter that are very friendly. I would say we got about 3 pounds of food for $13. read more

My mom and I stopped in to Choban Grill for lunch since she works nearby and her co-worker really liked it. We both went with the special, which was a chicken gyro with fries. The woman working put a couple of pitas in the little heater/press thing and while we waited, a man came in. Apparently he is a regular so she started getting his food together. Then she grabbed the pitas and wrapped them up for him and put two more in the press. He paid and was gone before our pitas even came out of the press. It was sort of odd that she basically skipped us to get his food together but whatever. My mom didn't want fries but we were told the price was the same whether we got fries or not because the special is cheaper than the item normally is on the menu. We were handed a small basket of fries and a man (I assume the owner) told the woman who put them together (a different woman from the first one) that she should have given us half of what she did. We actually paid for 2 orders so I don't really understand but whatever. The owner also heard my mom say she should have gotten something more healthy and gave us a little cup of chopped tomatoes and cucumbers with a stuffed grape leaf to try. The gyros were insane. Stuffed beyond belief with tzatziki sauce (LOTS of tzatziki sauce), lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and chicken (cut straight from a rotating spit thing). Really tasty but very difficult to eat (we both ate the last part with a fork because it was too much). The fries were good, they had some flavoring and were crinkle, which I prefer. As we were eating a woman (another one, I think they had like 5 people working in that small space) brought us out tiny cups of Turkish tea, which was really nice. It basically tasted like regular tea with honey and was a nice way to wrap up the meal. The space itself is on the small side and the tables are a bit crowded together. It also felt a little warm in there to me (and very warm near where the meat was cooking). They have a couple of tables outside but it's August and I'm not sitting outside at lunch time if I can help it. The food was great and the service was friendly but a little odd to me. The portions are very generous for the price. The parking lot is a bit crazy at lunch time but it's a great choice if you're nearby. read more

The food is good but the black lady that works there should at least ACT like she's happy to see customers versus an attitude. Two different times she's been highly inconvenienced that a customer walked in, and vocal about the fact. Today her complaint was that she was trying to eat her lunch. Does her employer not provide breaks for this?? Dear Management, Please hire staff that understand customer service is the primary focus in a food service job. Your customers are more likely to return that way. :-) read more

Place is clean. The one guy working was great! Very quick and polite. I had chicken bowl which was very good. Could have had more rice but yummy. The salad is AMAZING for sure and the falafels are on point! We will def be back for more! read more

Just had the buffet and was one of the tastiest meals in a while for lunch. The staff are so pleasant and they all are going out of their way to make coming here a must. The mini dessert and the hot tea that they served topped off the meal nicely. read more

I have been here 10+ times and am never disappointed. Usually get the Lamb Gyro and don't look back. It is incredible. The lamb is so savory, delicious and addicting!! The dinner buffet option is also great and you get a GREAT portion for 7.95 The staff is super friendly and work as fast as they can to get you fed. I rarely have to wait long, but would gladly wait an hour for my Choban gyro if I had to. Jacksonvillians and out-of-towners this place is a must-try! read more

This is now my new favorite Greek place! I will update my reviews the more I visit and try new dishes. great pricing with a buffet at lunch and dinner I think (fact check that for me) fresh ingredients and the Lamb was delicious! read more
