    Greek salad
    Elizabeth G.

    I didn't expect the food here to be so good (judging solely on appearance), but oh my gosh was I wrong. The flavors were divine, everything was so fresh and the portions are incredible!! The service was wonderful and everyone was very patient. I wish the atmosphere and the area were a little more vibey, but honestly it doesn't even matter when the food is this good

    Grilled chicken & fries

    Family owned Greek restaurant that lives up to the good reviews. Everything we ordered was well flavored, fresh and nicely portioned. I'm not a feta cheese lover and I'm usually taking some off my salad but here, it wasn't sharp tasting at all. Very smooth, I ate it all. Chicken was freshly grilled and juicy, I think the potatoes were better than the fries. Service was great, we weren't left waiting for anything. Atmosphere is super chill too and usually a wait during prime-time dinner, so plan accordingly. This is one restaurant I'd come back to if I'm in the area!

    I'm not a huge fan of Greek food but for Father's Day, wanted to make my grand-baby's Greek Dad feel special. He's been here many times & loves it! The pita & taziki came out & I enjoyed it very much! They only had Greek beer and I tried the light. Pleasantly surprised!! I ordered the chicken wrap with fries & the chicken was flavored just right. Service was impeccable. It's a bustling place and a bit on the loud side, but we never felt rushed. Overall I truly enjoyed it & see why it has so many stars! Opa!

    Tzatziki and pita
    Erica W.

    We love Chris' Taverna! Always great service and delicious food. This location has much more seating than their other location. It is also a little nicer but it's still casual enough! I always get the gyro wrap! My husband gets either the souvlaki or lamb shank! Both are amazing, and where else can you get a lamb shank? It literally falls off the bone. The waitress reminded us to try the bone marrow inside the bones as well!

    The food is amazing. Best in town. Come here often and they are always consistent. Service is always great. They even include free warm pita with tzatziki sauce! Place is not fancy but they have indoor and outdoor seating with a covered patio. Plenty of parking, a home goods and boba tea place near by. My wife can live in this shopping plaza. Place gets packed so be prepared to wait during peak dinner time but it is well worth it and the prices are very reasonable. The Grecian platter is our favorite and can feed 4 people!

    Amazing food!! Went on a Saturday night and it was busy! Lots of seating though and nice patio. We started with the trio dips. The spicy feta was really good and tzatziki was delicious. I had the gyro wrap which was huge, so much food. The lamb was delicious. The Greek fries were good but so much feta!

    Chicken Salad

    A great local spot for excellent Greek fare. Great to see it busy on a Tuesday. Not slammed but flowing. Fun dinner with family mixed with good service and food. Happy atmosphere. Definitely a great time. Food as always perfect. Got to love those potatoes.

    Gyro Salad
    Scott C.

    Always my go to for amazing Greek cuisine. Fresh and tasty. Today's choice was the gyro salad and I could only eat half and took the other half home. Indoor and outdoor seating available and usually always busy. Portions are huge and I am always pleased with my meal. Try it out, you'll love it too.

    Chris' is the best Greek food in south Florida! My family and I ordered takeout. We had a large order with a lot of modifications, all of which they got right. I ordered a Greek salad, which was very fresh. It had bright-red tomatoes, large cucumbers and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The salad was expensive, about $20, but it was large and I got two meals out of it. The pita and taziki is always delicious, with hints of garlic and salt. I've never dined in, but the staff is always welcoming at the register when we pick our food up. My only note is the dining room doesn't feel inviting. It has perfectly aligned rows of tables, making it feel like a cold atmosphere.

    Looking forward to a delicious lunch
    Andrea R.

    Amazing always it is our go to place, fantastic service and food! We sit outside and it is so enjoyable!

    This is a friendly authentic Greek restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The food is always fresh and delicious, they give you very generous portion (except the octopus entree). if i m around the area, which is not too often, i like to stop by but i have not been here for a long time. Ican see things have changed a bit but it is still always a great place to eat. I like their humus and also tried the tzatziki, both are very good with pita. The lemon chicken soup is another favorite of mine here. The best entree is the grilled octopus with the greek salad, so yummy. Wish the octopus were a bit bigger. I love the restaurant but this time compare to what i was used to here, i have some complaints .. the octopus itself is much smaller than used to be, no more complimentary dish to start with.. and their prices have gone up since last time as well. The restaurant is kid friendly but they do not have kid's menu, which is bad, as for my little kids i had to order an adult dish to share (30$) which they could not even finish. If you want some intimate atmosphere it is not the place to be, as it tend to be noisy, specially when full house.. Regardless, If you like Mediterranean food and want authetic greek dish, it is a great place to eat!

    Grecian platter with pork chunks gyro and lamb chops
    Tina B.

    I love all greek food but Chris taverna on Lantana and jog is truly one of my favorites. I've done large group orders and have come here for lunch multiple times with my manager and my husband. The gyro is delicious and my hubby and I usually split the grecian platter which has pork chunks gyro meat and 3 lamb chops. Sometimes we get the spanokopita as well. Everything is consistently delicious. The servers are always friendly and attentive. I've been coming here for years and recommend this to anyone in search of delicious Greek food with generous portions.

The space was clean with plenty of seating, and the staff was warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They gave me time to browse the menu without any rush, and were ready to take my order the moment I decided. I went with the Falafel and Eggplant Pita Wrap, ordered exactly as it comes -- five crispy handmade falafels, roasted eggplant, hummus, tomato and cucumber salad, purple cabbage slaw, white onions, tomatoes, pickles, and lemon tahini sauce. What I loved about the presentation was how they sliced the pita and stuffed the toppings inside the pocket, then placed the eggplant and falafel on the outside before wrapping everything up tightly. It made for a much easier, cleaner eat -- no toppings tumbling out with every bite! My first bite was amazing. The fresh flavors really shined, the falafels were perfectly crispy, and the eggplant had that deep, savory roasted flavor. Every topping complemented the others beautifully, and I walked away completely satisfied. I am so happy I found this fast and healthy option close by! I also grabbed a baklava and a mango sparkling probiotic drink -- both delicious. Beyond the food, they have soft drinks, tea, and lemonade, plus a sauce bar with vinegar and oil if you want to customize your meal even further. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. I can't wait to come back and try their other menu options!

It was founded by owner Christos "Chris" Charoudis, the restaurant's menu is largely inspired by traditional family recipes. Chris's mother, Eleni, personally quality-controlled the dishes to ensure authenticity. This is the original restaurant, at the corner of Lantana Rd. & Jog, a second is on Congress, They have expanded & during covid outdoor dining in the parking lot was created. There is a free parking in front along with a steady stream of pick up traffic. The menu offers extensive Greek dishes with servers being very quick & efficient. Portions at Chris' Taverna are enormous. One plate is enough for more than enough for 2 of us to share. The restaurant is casual, reservations are not accepted, it's first come & first serve. Tonight six of us met here for dinner. We arrived before 6:00 and waited only a few minutes for a table. When we left there was a line outside. When we were seated we were given water & a garlic spread with warm fresh pita. We all shared babaganosh & generous delicious dips. My husband & I shared a gyro salad with lots of grilled lamb, more than enough for us both. Others enjoyed greek chicken salad, shrimp with pasta, and spanakopita. Everyone brought leftovers home, enough for a few meals. Happily we weren't rushed.

As a Greek (and former chef), I was genuinely excited after about ten people insisted this was "the spot" when I moved to Delray Beach. So naturally, I came in expecting something remotely...Greek. Quick reality check for fellow reviewers: 1.Have you ever actually been to Greece? Not the airport. Not a cruise stop. I mean eaten real Greek food. 2.Do we all agree on what goes into a Greek salad and a proper gyro, or are we just improvising at this point? Because what I saw felt more like a creative writing exercise than a recipe. 3.If your rating is based on portion size, then yes, congratulations, you got a lot of food. But let's not confuse quantity with authenticity (or quality). That's how we end up with 4.6 stars. I won't even get into presentation, because that would require there being something recognizable to present. This place would have been closed in a week in NYC! If this is your introduction to Greek food, I apologize on behalf of an entire country.
