Great food, fresh, friendly, save room for bakalava. Nice serving size and good use of seasoning s!

Popped in one night and immediately felt unwelcome. We were met with blank stares, no greeting, not even a smile. First time in and had no idea you even had to order at the counter because nobody spoke to us! The calamari was good, but the service was awful. Won't be back. read more

Wonderfully authentic, George's offers a laidback dining experience run by a very sweet and friendly family. I had gotten the pita lunch special, which gave me an option of chicken or gyro. Of course I had to get the gyro. This dish also comes with a choice of sides: fries, pasta, salad, chicken, rice, lemon soup, organic greens, or mixed greens. I went for the pasta salad. A friend and I also ordered hummus and pita for the table. Mediterranean food is already fresh but at this restaurant, each bite tasted fresher than the average Greek restaurant. The pita was warm and crunchy. The gyro tasted cleaner than any other gyro I've had. The pasta salad was okay, a little bland. The portion size was also incredible for lunch special! If I wanted to, I could have split it into two meals. To top it off, the owners gave me and my friend some baklava after we finished our meals, and that warmed my heart. Overall a great restaurant find. Water is self-service and free. Spent: $25-30 read more

Recently came across this place and I'm surprised I never noticed it before. The food is great!! This will now be my go to spot for meals with my mom. We've been in search of a good Mediterranean restaurant for months. Loved supporting locally owned places. The chicken pita is my fav! My mom enjoyed the lamb. My only critic with the lamb, maybe could include an additional chop, since they aren't very big but the flavor is fantastic! read more

Family owned restaurant, authentic, Mediterranean food. The place was very clean and the service was fast and friendly. You aorder at the counter and they give you a number. Then someone deliver your meal to your seat. I tried the Greek salad with chicken. It hit the spot There is accessible parking and entrance. read more

Friends!!! Really great food here, had the Gyros and the Chicken Kabob. The food was really great, the restaurant was super cool and vibey, the service was nice. It did take a great deal of time for our food to be prepared, and then there was a slight mixup with sauces, had to be remade, which took additional time. Once corrected, the food was awesome. I would have given 5 stars if food service a bit faster and correct on the first attempt. But, please note....the food tasted amazing. The service was great. The ambiance was trendy and vibey. I would give George's a solid A+ for good taste and quality, and service. Will definitely return. read more

This place has been bookmarked for a while. I am always on a hunt for a Greek restaurant, something akin to my favorite places back in Chicago. The hard part of moving to PHX is leaving all the great food behind in Chicago. Back there I dont have to drive more than 5 minutes without hitting a Gyros place with beautiful spit on full display. In AZ I cant even find a chicken gyro place for the Mrs. Food: The winners here are the spanakopita, lemon orzo soup and the gyro. The losers are the chewy flavorless chicken cubes on skewer and the overall portion served. Service: Order at the counter and they bring it over. Nothing special, but everything done with a smile. Overall: Huge windows provide plenty of light during the day, but in the evening it's dark inside. On recent evening there were a total of 6 diners inside and some carryouts from time to time. I would come back if in the area, but not making the drive from Scottsdale again. read more

This was our first time and we will be back a lot!!! Great food and service was amazing.

I've been wanting to have a gyro at George's Kitchen for some time and finally was able to experience it. I was a little surprised to learn that you order at the counter, take your number, go sit down where you want to, and the food will eventually be brought to you. I guess I didn't do my research beforehand to know that this was the case, but no worries, the food is good! I ordered a gyro and side salad. The meat was a little crispy, but I like it that way, so I enjoyed the gyro and ate my entire side salad. Of course, I was pretty full by the time that I'd eaten everything! They do have specials daily that do look very interesting that I would like to try when I'm not in the mood for a gyro. There is also a lunch menu. It's a great casual restaurant to grab a bite to eat with a diverse menu (not just Greek food). read more

George's Kitchen - Gyro and side salad - Salad Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

A casual Greek (plus some Italian dishes and pizza) restaurant where you order at the counter and the food is brought to you. We were greeted as we entered and we were able to order as we were first in line. I ordered a pan-style pizza with pepperoni and mozzarella and an Alfa beer. The restaurant was fairly full for 6:30 pm on a Thursday. There at least three orders in front of ours yet we got our dishes within 20 minutes. My pizza was good although the pepperoni seemed to be a little salty. The crust was excellent. Parking should be easy as the parking lot is quite large. Both servers we dealt with were very nice. Many of the tables are moveable so large groups could be accommodated as well as individuals who can sit looking out the window. Prices are rising as inflation takes its toll. Probably you will spend $50 for a couple to eat with drinks, unless only one pizza is ordered and shared. read more

George's Kitchen is a fast casual Greek spot with a menu written on the chalkboard and you order at the register. The staff are super friendly. We ordered the Jalapeño Salad, the Greek Salad, and the Veggie Pita. The salads were similar, but the addition of Jalapeños was interesting. I suspect the peppers are soaked to mute the spice. Everything is super fresh and straightforward. Solid. read more

George's is an unassuming little spot off 16th and Bethany home. The staff is all super friendly and accommodating. The food is all very fresh and there's a wide variety of options. It's vegetarian friendly too. They have saganaki which was the best thing we had. Just gobbled it up before getting a picture! They even had some Greek wine. read more

Can't understand how this restaurant claims that it's a Greek restaurant: no Dolmades, no Moussaka, Pastitsio, as would EVERY other Greek restaurant would serve. It feels like a takeout joint instead of a sit down restaurant. Ordered the lemon soup; not very hot, not very lemony. Gyro pita was ok, but they skimp on the meat big time. It was not freshly carved, so it was like small scraps and dry. Chicken skewers were bland. On the contrary, the Hummus was very tasty, and their pita bread had the right consistency. Small baklava at the end was a nice touch. Overall, sorry to say, not great. read more

I saw the ratings on yelp and Google , both over 4 stars, so I expected something exceptionally good. It's pretty average Greek food. Me and 9 friends went here tonight. I called them on Friday to let them know a large party would be coming because they don't have too many big tables that can be pulled together for a large party. I had to give them a credit card as they would charge me $25 if we didn't show. We showed as planned and said we had a reservation and all we got were blank stares, they had no idea. We had to pull our tables and chairs together. It's a nice dining room, just small and most the tables are booths. You order at the front desk and they deliver the food. Didn't provide much table service after that, most of us moved our empty plates to another table. I went to the front to ask for boxes for our leftovers. They did give us little half pieces of their delicious baklava. The food was just so-so, most of my friends said the same. I had the Greek platter with beef kabobs, the beef was over cooked and dry. The rice was delicious and the gyro meat was pretty good. I ordered the Greek salad expecting the normal red wine vinegar dressing, but it was a creamy white dressing. It was good. All in all, I much prefer Saba's Mediterranean Kitchen or Zeta's Grill in Goodyear. Those are 4 star places for me. read more

Ventured here with some friends this evening. The service was relatively friendly (aside from one waitress with disgruntled look the entire time we were there). The pita bread was great and their Greek salad had the right ratio of all the components. I like that we were able to add on protein (I got salmon). I felt like the portions were pretty generous. I think the pricing might need some adjustment. Overall pretty good food! read more

Great soup, worth the drive from Queen Creek, especially if you are on the way back from Sky Harbor. And great service; we will be back!

I had a Greek chicken salad. All ingredients were fresh. The pita bread was meh. The ice tea was good.

Love! I got a salmon & shrimp platter. Food was very fresh & authentic. The tzatziki sauce was great.

Came here for dinner, food was delicious! Small restaurant, you order and seat where you find seating. We went on a Thursday evening close to closing time. We didn't feel rushed and we appreciated the service provided. We works definitely come back when in town. read more

My go to place for Greek food. Gyros always great. Saganaki was yummy! The lemon/rice/chicken soup is always fab. All the Greek favorites are here and excellent. Can't go wrong here. read more

The tastiest and healthiest salads in Phoenix. Everything else is delicious too. Their grilled chicken taste yummy and their salad dressing makes you want to eat more. On another visit I wanted to take my grandkids out for ice cream and most of the ice cream places are so expensive now. I decided to bring them to George's kitchen and have tasty gelato for a fair price. It was very yummy and we all loved it. read more

A cute little spot to stop in for a good meal and calm vibes. I tried this place for the first time and really enjoyed it. I couldn't choose what to try first so I got the Greek Platter to try a bit of everything! I subbed the rice for fries and do not regret it one bit. The starter salad (Greek) was one that i can eat over and over again! Fresh, flavorful, and had a bunch of goodies in it. The gyro meat itself was very tasty and had this crispy edge on it that provided a pleasant crunch while keeping integrity of the meat. The chicken kebab was also tasty and wasn't dry - tender and meaty. The spanakopita was so crispy and flavorful! We ended the meal with baklava and I'll be dreaming about that - the perfect layers and it's not too sweet. The service was good and everyone was friendly! They checked in every so often and cleared our table. The ambiance was homey and casual. read more

Saw this on "Check Please" and was excited to try it. Probably won't be going back. Ordered calamari, a pizza, fried cheese salad and a chicken pita. The food was ok, but nothing special. Only 2 pieces of fried cheese in the salad, pizza dough was slightly undercooked and the chicken was dry. Calamari was good. Spent $70, which is why I'll not go back. Just think I can do better for the price. read more

I've ordered take out multiple times and have been here for a few work lunches as my office is right down the street. I love how flavorful and fresh their salmon is here! Last time I ordered I had the saganaki salad with salmon and it hit the spot. I've also had the chicken pita which is great too. The only thing I had that I wasn't a huge fan of was a shrimp pasta dish that was pretty bland. Atmosphere is cute and perfect for a work lunch or quick dinner. Service is always efficient and kind. Will definitely be back.. again! read more

Delicious and fresh food. I especially love their soup, hummus and pita bread. B. Baugh read more

Solid consistent performance with quality ingredients and preparations. Friendly staff, small shady patio. Friend and I both ordered the lunch Greek salad with gyro. I asked to hold the garbanzo beans and he did not. I gave him all my pitas, since I am GF and he happily ate them plus all of his. Fresh, hot, slightly crispy from the grill, applies to both the gyro meat and the excellent pitas. Salad was fresh, cold and generous. I have dined inside and outside, ordered the same thing both times. My only complaint? The owner sits outside the front door for a smoke break which drifts to the patio. I love the food and will continue to frequent this small business when I lunch midtown! read more

George's Kitchen - Lunch Greek salad with gyros, hold the garbanzo beans - Salad Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Very interesting, it's a cross between dining and fast food. It really is kind of a mystery on what to do how to do it unless you've been there before. You order it a counter, you sit down and they bring you your food, they do have wine, but you're not sure if you're supposed to bust your own table or tip the waiter?? The food was okay, I wouldn't say that it was terrific we did go there specifically for saganaki, but they do not light it on fire, or did not that day. I will say that the place is clean and well staffed. read more

We have been going there on a weekly basis for many years and supported them even through Covid. Today ordered a gyro to go and it appeared to have 1/4 of chicken in it. Called restaurant and sent picture of the meat as requested. Received text from George saying it wasn't from their restaurant and to not come back to their restaurant! Customer service at its worst. We will take our weekly business elsewhere and suggest you do to! read more

A real mom and pop style Greek food experience. Everything tastes homemade and delicious. Much to choose from and don't forget the baklava ! You won't regret it. read more

My experience at George's Kitchen was a good one. It's Super Bowl Sunday so perfect timing without a noisy crowd. It's very clean, and plenty of seating. My husband and I looked over the menu at the counter where you place your order. I started with the scallops as an appetizer, OMG cooked to perfection and served with warm pita triangles and melted butter with garlic. YUM!! Once order was prepared Michele brought it over to the table. She was so pleasant and eager to please. She even gave us a sample of the Baklava, which was kind of her to do. That was so so, it didn't have the golden baked touch to it. I had the prime rib salad, which was enough to share with four others. It had different tastes with every bite. Also served with warm pita triangles. My husband had the Angela pizza, it was topped with arugula, tomatoes, feta cheese, olive oil, mozzarella cheese and Kalamata olives. He thought it to be satisfying. This was our first visit and we will be returning. read more

George's Kitchen was decent. The food was reasonably good--the lemon soup and gyro were solid, though nothing particularly memorable. What left me disappointed was the value. Portion sizes were small compared to what you'd typically get at a Mediterranean restaurant with similar quality, yet the prices were noticeably higher. It's still counter service with a fairly plain interior, so it's hard to see what justifies the premium. read more

Very mixed feelings about this place. The service at the front counter was odd. I walked in and the young man there just stared at me. No greeting, no smile, no nothing. It went on and on and on. It was really uncomfortable. Finally I asked him for a menu but then noticed two printed copies on the counter next to the register. And said "oh this must be the menu". Met with more staring. While I was ordering he held up his index finger to stop me, while he answered the phone and put them on hold. And before being charged he resumed conversation on phone order and pointed at me to sign screen for the bill. I watched him interact with a couple other customers, not much better. I guess he was having a bad day or some sort of other issue. I had the Gyro with fries. It was very good. Pita was excellent as was the shaved meat and tzatziki sauce. Not sure though about going back, the staring thing was really kinda unsettling. There was a sweet girl wiping down and bussing tables. She might be a better fit at the cash register. read more
