Let's play spot the feta cheese and spinach in my spanakopita Falafel appetizer looks store bought like a hockey puck not home made and it didn't come with any sauce. Ever try to eat a dry falafel? At no time did the server asked do you want sauce? First time here. Will keep looking for some place to eat. read more

Our experience here was terrible. We ordered a Medusa and a Kraken for carryout. Our food took a long time and then both were so salty or over seasoned or something so we could barely eat them. Also, the staff was so rude to us. We ordered at 6:30pm on Saturday night so they were super busy. At 7pm I went to to ask for a refund and they finally gave us our food. When I complained about the wait I felt almost ganged up on by the staff in their response. The waitress who took our order did not tell us it would be 30 minutes and we saw two takeout orders go out before us. One of those other takeout orders even mentioned they were surprised we hadn't received our food yet. This was a surprising and very disappointing experience for super not good food. Maybe this was an anomaly but this was our experience. read more

Loved coming here when I visit Springfield! Service is always great, restaurant is clean, service is fast. Ambiance varies depending on how busy it is! It can get busy in the evening! Food is authentic and fresh. read more

Delicious food. Family friendly. Stopped here on our road trip and was very happy. My spouse spent a summer in Greece many years ago and was excited to see how authentic the gyros were from his memory. read more

Excellent service and food! We were in town for a conference, and saw excellent reviews of Greek Belly. We had the Falafel Meze and the Souvlaki Trio. Delicious! Our waiter was attentive and so friendly. We highly recommend! read more

I do not see what all the hype is about Greek Belly... it's horrible!! The restaurant is small, overcrowded, and it was very hot inside for it only being in the high 70° outside. And the parking is horrible! We ordered the to-go pork Gryo platter for my hubby for $14.00. The portion of overcooked burnt to crispy hard shredded pork was SO small it reminded us of a child's plate. We both decided on the greek fries which were good and the slaw which is bitter tasting. I got the souvlaki platter with 2 skewers of pork for $16.00 and paid $2.00 extra for 1 skewer of lamb. The pork was cubed the size of a dime and the lamb was even a little smaller than a dime. All the meat had a lot of fat on them so they were greasy but had a nice flavor with a little kick of spice. Again a child's size portion. Nothing could get us to ever go back...from fighting to get a parking spot to the overpriced child sized portions the Greek Belly is not worth revisiting!! read more

I would rate this place 5 stars for the atmosphere and decor alone. Sitting there actually made me feel as if I could actually be in some part of Greece. The issue was that I sat there in Greece way too long before my food order came out and received a soft drink refill. The City Salad was very under dressed and the Slovaki Chicken Kabobs were a bit thin and under seasoned. If I were to return, I would definitely try a Gyro. read more

The servers were helpful and not overbearing, the actual restaurant is quite small, but one might say it added a somewhat noisier and celebratory air! The flaming cheese was a treat! However, our 6 meals can only be described as good, but not great or anything to be sure to stop for, unfortunately. read more

This place is probably our favorite restaurant in Springfield. It's always busy in the evenings but the service is really efficient and everyone is really friendly. We always opt for the gyro platter: chicken or pork, french fries, vinegar slaw, tomatoes/cucumber/onion. They give you healthy portions but we always get the falafel mezze (4 freshly fried falafel balls). And if you've got a sweet tooth, they have excellent baklava! read more

Greek Belly - Chicken gyro platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Family dinner on Saturday and we were thrilled to find this jewel on Yelp. Lived up to its 4.4 star rating. Seated right away, we were delighted by the cozy atmosphere with creative umbrella ceiling decor. Wait staff were attentive and gracious in sharing recommendations on the menu... which did not disappoint. Two in our family shared the Prometheus shareable platter and a Kraken gyro. The other two had a create your own bowl and Atlantis pita. After enjoying their homemade baklava, we left full and happy. Such a great experience. We would highly recommend. read more

Stopped in whilst touring the murals of Springfield. Very quaint restaurant with hip dacor, great service and amazing food! We had the "Kraken" gyro with a small salad and spanakopita. Everything was a hit, fresh and excellent. The sandwich was nicely stuffed, the spanakopita light and flaky, and the salad has a nice helping of real feta. Great little neighborhood gem. The employees really up the overall experience. read more

Hey John....Here is the scathing review I promised. A couple of weeks ago I ordered the souvlaki trio for pick up with tzatziki sauce. Upon arriving home discovered they had given me the wrong sauce. I only like the tzatziki. I called back and asked for a do over since my food would have been cold by time I could make another round trip. They agreed....so I load up and head back (without my wallet). I get the order and the server replied "my bad" when she gave it to me. I asked for an extra sauce thinking that would be the least they could do after I had to make another round trip. Oh no, there was a charge. I explained I didn't have my wallet but to no avail. Upon arriving home, I discovered they had not included slaw in my do over. When I called, the server said, "well, I gave you slaw the first time"....which was now hot. I decided to phone John (owner) to explain about my unhappy experience. His first response was "what can I do in order to make me happy so I would not post this review". I said, "you tell me". He said, "no, you tell me". I thought ok, perhaps another do over. I was in the process of saying that when out of nowhere, he interrupted me to say, "I don't respond to threats" and then hung up on me!!!!!!!!!!! What ever happened to customer service? He said he had been in the restaurant business for 75 years....evidently, he hasn't learned much in that time about customer service (which is out of the window these days). SO, I want to discourage everyone from going there and try CRAVE restaurant instead (Greek). It is 100 times better. They are on Republic Road across the street from Mama Jean's. Try their lemonade! Also, John, the tzatziki sauce you get at Aldi's is much better than yours. Judy N. read more

Nice staff Cute interior Really good gyros Spouse had Greek salad and a pork pita. I had the Atlantis Pita. All I can say is YUM! read more

I placed a Togo order and was not disappointed. My order was ready when I arrived. The creamy garlic dip was a little spicy, but the hummus and tzatziki were phenomenal. Definitely recommend this place! read more

We stopped in for dinner July 22, 2024. The food was great. Both the wife's dinner as well as mine were delicious. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very professional and great personality. We were visiting from New Mexico and so was heading further east. read more

Such a great experience! The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Our server was very helpful as we asked multiple questions. Everything came out hot & fresh--a great value for the quality and portions. We will certainly be returning soon! read more

First time. Visiting the area w/ family. Ambiance was nice with colored lighting. Felt like being in Greece. Ordered Bouyourdi: the sauce was warm and delicious. Prometheus feast: the meat was seasoned and cooked well. Two ppl couldn't finish it. City Greek salad w/ falafel & rosiki sauce: the sauce is different made w/ Mayo, potatoes, peas & carrots. It paired well w/ the salad and pita. Service was polite and informative :) read more

The servers are rude. I've worked in the culinary industry for 30 years. In family restaurants and ultra fine dining. But it doesn't matter what type of establishment, how good the food is or how awesome the atmosphere...rude service equals bad restaurant. I'll never go back. read more

My sister and I decided to try this place after reading the reviews. Number one, it's in downtown Springfield and parking is scarce, so there's that to know. The restaurant is cute . It's small, but decorated well. All is good cleanliness wise, until you hit the ladies room. The ladies room could use a deep clean. That's putting it mildly. We both ordered the gyro platters, mine with pork and hers with chicken. They came with fries and pita bread. The appearance was good but the flavor was not. We ordered dolmas and they were barely ok. Plus, the trip to the ladies room definitely tempered my feelings about the restaurant. Would I recommend this place? No. Cleanliness is huge when you're prepping food. read more

I throughly enjoyed this little unique and delectable place. The are staff are super helpful and friendly. If you are unfamiliar with Greek food, no need to worry. The staff are more than willing to give you a rundown of the menu. The menu covers all the typical greek eats. They even have baklava and other Greek sweets for dessert! Just don't forget the TZATZIKI SAUCE!!! read more

So. Good. Got the Greek salad with both pork and chicken and it was amaaaazing. I would mainline their garlic dip sauce if I could.

Whilst traveling thru Sfield to STL we did an overnight in downtown and needed a late dinner, nothing too heavy, fresh, light tasty. We hit up Greek Belly. It was a rainy Tuesday so we were the only one's dining in, a steady stream of Grub Hubbers/Uber Eats folk were picking up dinners for delivery, a good sign. We went with Greek Salads and Chicken Slovaki. My wife said the Feta on the greek salad was the best she's ever had (noting that the menu said it was imported), the pita bread and Tzatziki sauce were all great. Flavorful, light, fresh and great, mission accomplished. Our server was very attentive, helpful and made some good small talk. I worked in Dtown Sfield way back in they day and can say man, the place has some good vibes and good joints worth checking out. Add Greek Belly to your list. Parking can be a bit of a bear, we had to park a couple of blocks down and walked up-no big deal. Check it out, you'll like it. read more

The food was pretty good, the servers were very nice, but the one thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the seating. It's a little bit smaller of a place, so people were packed in like sardines. We went right at the lunch rush so that part is us, but next time I'll wait til just after the rush and then go. Because once it cleared out a bit it was just fine. We will go back read more

This place is so cute and the food is amazing! We had incredible service. The gyros are so authentic and the kids meals incorporate Greek elements while keeping American staples that kids love (i.e. burger on pita). We will come back when we're back in Springfield! read more

Such an exciting, and surprising, find when we were traveling through Missouri! I ordered Yigandes without the cheese, and it was excellent! My only suggestion to the restaurant would be to include a larger serving of hummus with this dish. The restaurant reminds me of Greece. Amazing decor and casual vibe. read more

If you are looking for a Beef or Lamb Gyro, do not come here. All they have are Pork and Chicken. As someone who doesn't eat pork, I was disappointed. I settled for the chicken gyro and feta fries. They were delicious. Everything is made in house and you can tell. I decided since the entree was good, dessert probably would be also... So of course I had to get a Baclava... And yes, it was fantastic. I love tzatziki. The tzatziki here is delicious. My wife thought it was heavy on the dill but I think she's crazy! Overall, once I got over them not having beef Gyros, I had a 5 star experience. Also, I think it was the owner at the register. He was really nice. He explained to me that everything is fresh!. I will go back next time I'm in town. read more

Delicious! Ordered a build your own with lamb, cucumber and feta banana pepper sauce and a grill plate with skewer Lamb and tzatziki sauce. I love a good gyro and this place was the way to go. Baklava for dessert was delicious. Place is small but lively. Staff were great, we had Julia as our server and she was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend for lunch or meet up for drinks and Apps. -no shaved lamb -service was a tad slow, but we came right at the end of the lunch rush. -street parking. read more

We come to Springfield once a year for 5 days for a work trip and like to try different restaurants each time. We loved it here! The menu was different than any other Greek restaurant we've been to. We'll definitely be back. read more

As much as I would love to rate this place a 5-star, I just can't. :( The Cons: The meats were extremely salty. I'm on a carnivore diet so eating pita to tone down the saltiness just isn't an option. The floors going to the bathroom and the bathroom floor itself was so slippery. I looked down and I think it's grease. I see stuff all over the floor to the back part of the restaurant. When I walked back to our table, I saw just how awful looking the kitchen was. The floors were also a hot mess. The bathroom is just right next to the kitchen area too so I don't really know to make of it. The Pros: Our server was super sweet though. And she's very attentive to our needs. She comes over as soon as she sees our glasses running low on water. There's several other people seated inside and she managed to take care of everyone. The ambiance is amazing. I really did feel like I was brought to a different country. You get this very quaint and homey feeling. I really do hope they will address the cleanliness of the floors, especially the kitchen area. All restaurants should really prioritize it! I also hope they tone down on the salt. It's hard to enjoy the ambiance if the food you're eating doesn't complement the surrounding. read more

Really good Greek spot downtown with a vibe that felt like a small eatery right on the Aegean. My wife and I split the Prometheus Feast and holy cow was it good! Just a nice sampling of all the different meat choices, served with pita, onions, tomatoes, tzatziki, and something called "drunken pepper sauce" which was out of this world! Greek Belly is for sure going into our regular restaurant rotation. read more

I went with two buddies around 8PM on a Wednesday. We were already in the area and this place is very conveniently located. It was pretty close to close but they were more than willing to accommodate. I ordered spanakopita for the table and got a Dogfish 60min. My buddy also ordered a Dogfish 60min. The spanakopita came out pretty quick. I ordered the lamb gyro. One buddy got a chicken gyro. My pita was really good. I had fries on it instead on the side which was a little different. My buddy couldn't finish his pita. I don't make it to Springfield very often but this place will be on the short list of places to look up when I'm back. read more

I travel a lot for work. I also have recently become gluten intolerant. A couple months ago I was staying at a hotel nearby. To my surprise! They have a lot of gluten free items on the menu including PITA! So, when I found out that I needed to come back to Springfield I was so excited that o would be able to grab lunch here! Katie was so helpful in explaining menu options. Thank you!!! I will always look forward to coming back to Springfield just to eat here! read more

These guys ovah here. They have a great salad that's just riddled with fresh veggies, meats, cheeses, and bread. It's like a party of natures best ingredients throwing down that wild ass deliciousness. They cut it up fresh to order and BOOM at your table looking like a million dollas! Food is top notch, the owner is sweaty, and the crew is quick and prepped. Best Greek downtown. read more

Delicious gyros and spanakopita! And such a reasonable price. Service was quick and servers were friendly.

Residents from Pea Ridge,Arkansas. I have only Two places that I would drive a hour or two to my favorite restaurants and this one is one of them. Every time we go it's Always Amazinggg we get surprised by the vibe the atmosphere of it. Today we got a special request of it was closed when we arrived and we had to call to either reserved for 8oclock or take out and I am SO glad we waited and made reservations! We got a whole party gathering vibe it was phenomenal! The food we've been on the usual Gyros but from viewing our neighbors plates we have to try other plates they looked delish. The pastries my all time and won't substitute is the baklava and they gave it to us warm that was my first time it was better the syrup melted with the pistachio umm yea imagine that. I believe the best day and time to go is Saturday's by 8 pm read more
