We've passed this place so many times coming in to SD from PHX. We always say we should try it sometime. We finally did so. I'm glad we did. We got the medium gyro salad and it was plenty for two people especially because we had to save a little room for the baklava! The salad was really good. The gyro meat was sliced thin, spiced well and tender. The dressing was light and though I'm not a fan of feta, this feta was good. Not strong nor overly salty. Very nice combination. Tomatoes, onion, cucumbers and olives were part of the salad as well. If you're near a location and hungry, try it. You'll be pleasantly satisfied. Service was very friendly with an up sale of the baklava. It was a good idea. read more

I've been going to this place for longer than most of the people work there have been alive. The window new guy is absolutely horrible. Doesn't give you what you paid for and then argues with you about it. I loved this place I won't be back. read more

So bummed, had to pull over and wait over 30 minutes, than i get home and no pita bread for my chicken dinners. I even ordered extra yogurt sauce for the pita bread we didnt get :( for the price I was reallly bummed and use the bread to eat the rice and chicken. Chicken spice or cooking has changed but still good/ok. Salad dressing used to be really good too but they changed that and think it may be nasty bottled stuff and lastly shakes and malts used to be sooooo gooooood. Not anymore and dont have malt at all. read more

I have passed this place hundreds of times and never stopped. Today that changed. Glad I stopped. Service was good and food was good. I will return. read more

On the last two visits the Greek roasted chicken was quite dried out and unappealing. It can't hide under that awful gravy they pour over it. Still, I really enjoy the salad. When will they figure out that their "namesake" dish has gone down the tubes? read more

Newly renovated we were enticed to visit be a $5 off coupon. We peeked inside and enjoyed the view. Seems the renovations went really well but it was close to 8pm so we did drive through. Eric took our order and really impressed us. He helped us realize what we wanted didn't make sense for the 3 of us. We would up with a whole chicken dinner and for the sides we got large fries. Chicken was really tasty, full of flavor. Fries were the thick kind, almost steak fries. Nice crispy outside. All three of us enjoyed the meal which doesn't happen often! Congrats on the renovation! read more

They changed the oil and vinegar salad dressing to something that tastes like Italian dressing. Was told you dont have to mix it now. It was not as good and looked cloudy and pinkish. Been coming to this restaurant for over 2 decades. What a disappointment tastes like bottled italian dressing. read more

Lately this location has been very slow! Let's put it this way, there was 4 cars including ours. We ordered our food at 1:48 pm. It took till 2:15 by the time we got up to the window. Then they took our payment and about 4 minutes later, we were asked to pull up the the parking lot to wait even longer . We ordered gyro plate only . Then on top of that, the portion was very small . We got a handful of fries witch only barely filled the little section of the container witch was a joke, and a few strips of gyro meat for a kids meal. Come on , this is BS for a $20 plate! I feel we have been ripped off! And the wait was way too long . 1/2 hr to get food. read more

Food is always yummy! This is one of my husband favorites. The service is quick and easy. Ambience is great!

Bring back the yummy Greek Italian dressing! Get rid of the generic one that you replaced it with! So disappointed. I went last week and actually threw my meal away because I thought the dressing was bad. I went back today and was informed that this was on purpose, they changed it. Bad decision. read more

Ordered takeout via Grubhub, I ordered the Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2lb Angus Burger. The Chicken sandwich was delicious especially since it was grilled chicken instead of fried, it was well seasoned, the burger was more on the bland side, but it definitely a big portion. would've appreciated a packet or two of mustard or ketchup on the side. I know the prices are slightly inflated via GrubHub but I'd definitely reorder the chicken sandwich again! read more

Their Greek chicken salad is our favorite order, but we love their chicken dinners as well. The greens are fresh and crisp, the chicken delicious and always have leftovers no matter what size we order, very generous servings. Their greek salad dressing is delicious. read more

With a giant sign off the 67 freeway, you can't miss this place. a convenient drive thru restaurant that serves a variety of amazing chicken and Mediterranean dishes. I've only ordered 2 things here: gyro sandwich and the chicken sandwich with cheese. Gyro is one of my favorite meats and they have a pretty solid pita sandwich. Salty, savory, and topped with fresh veggies. The grilled chicken sandwich is also a great option, it's a tender smashed chicken breast that makes you feel better about your choices than getting that deep fried option. The best part is that it doesn't feel like you're skimping on flavor by choosing the healthy option! It's a really good sandwich, definitely worth stopping by to try! read more

Stopped in to grab dinner for the family tonight and left seriously impressed. The customer service was top-notch -- our server (red hair, didn't catch her name) was friendly, professional, and went out of her way to make sure everything in our order was perfect. The recent remodel looks fantastic and really gives the place a fresh vibe. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Good gyro sandwich, great onion rings! We did take out this time. Service was good when we ate in the restaurant also.

Here to report that after years and years of attending, Greek Chicken is even better than ever! Love their zesty chicken, gyro meat is soft and juicy, salad is fresh and tangy- and the best little dessert is the banana shake! Zucchini fries with ranch- also 5 stars. Portions are large and employees are all very nice. Found the app hasn't been working properly when trying to substitute sides, but it's pretty new/may need to be updated. Few times some sauces were missing and sometimes we end up with more than we ordered! Enjoy ordering ahead of time and picking up. read more

Normally the food is really good here but I must've caught them on a bad day because today was terrible. I stopped here on my way home yesterday (8-4-2025) and ordered a gyro plate and chicken snack dinner. When I got home the food was cold the fries were burnt with nothing inside just crunchy and air. I called the restaurant to let them know and see how they could rectify this error. The only option they gave me was to bring the food back and they will make a fresh one for me. 1. It's an inconvenience for me to have to drive all the way back to the restaurant. 2. Why wasn't my order made fresh the first time? 3. I came through the drive thru, they had me park to wait for my food because they were waiting for the rest of my order to compete. Now I'm confused what I waited for ? Cold food? They wouldn't issue a refund for food that we couldn't even eat. And no we could not reheat it because everything was already overcooked. It seemed like they had old food ready and just re-heated it. 1 star because I've had good food and experience in the past. Today was clearly a bad day. read more

I LOVE this place!! I've been going there for OVER 40 years, at their very FIRST LOCATION on El Cajon Boulevard and 49th, and since the one on Main St. opened. HOWEVER, don't fix what's not broken! Since their recent renovation, their tzatziki sauce (which Was the best), now has more dill in it. It's ok but, NOT as good. Why change it? Tzatziki sauce was better without all that dill. The Greek salad, now has other lettuce along with Romain and iceberg. Has your salad dressing been adjusted too? It looks different, or maybe just didn't add enough vinegar, mostly all oil. PLEASE DON'T FIX WHAT WAS NOT BROKEN! :( read more

This one of my favorite places. It's clean, lots of parking, wheelchair friendly. The food is worth every penny. Lots of menu choices. Friendly staff. Good size portions. We come here alot. Keep up the good work!! read more

No one can convince me that what is today referred to as the "fast casual" restaurant industry wasn't created in the 1970s, in the Washington, DC area, by Arab, Italian and Greek immigrants. There, in that time and place, America experienced the Golden Age of pizzerias, burger joints, sub shops and more. I know, because I was there, and what's more, I was the luckiest kid my friends knew, because my father (who arrived from Palestine in 1954) owned several such places. I'm happy to say that Greek Chicken reminds me of the old days. Its menu offers well-prepared versions of foods that I grew up eating in the restaurants of my youth, items that are easy to prep and produce with a minimum of expense. Marinaded and grilled chicken? Gyro, pita, feta? Baklava for dessert? Check, check and check. I can imagine how such foods might have made it onto the restaurant's menu, which was created by Greek Chicken's founders, Fotios and Maria Economou. They're likely versions of things remembered from the "Old Country", and wisely continued by their son (and current owner), Gregory. An interesting quirk that's shared by many such places, my Dad's included, is that they often sell a few items that seem out of place, that is, if you don't know that your cheesesteak or pizza is being made by a guy who grew up eating Middle Eastern food. Greek Chicken's menu is no exception, except that the anomaly is reversed: along with the Greek food you came in for, you can also order beer-battered fish, hamburgers and ice cream sundaes. Finally: My father always had partners, and though the title sounds fancy, I can promise you that none of those men was soft. Everyone who got paid by the business eventually did every task required to keep things running. Over time, I saw Dad and the others mop floors and wash dishes, receive deliveries, take orders at the counter, prep and cook food, and count and deposit money, and the work didn't get easier over time. My father sold his last restaurant when he was 46, and on his final day, he put in 15 hours. I deeply respect restaurant workers, but I've never for a minute wanted to work in that business, and I freely admit that Gregory Economou is a better man than me. read more

most delicious chicken I have ever had, perfect chicken salad to bring to get togethers. can't wait to try more of the menu.

I'm sad to have to write this, but I've been coming to Greek Chicken for years, I don't know if it was the update or what, but the food was so bland, from their signature chicken to the onion rings-- they burnt my onion rings, and the amount of chicken on the chicken pita has drastically reduced. I will not be returning to this location. Wasted my money here! read more

Picked up lunch for a family member in the drive thru yesterday Saturday 10/4, owner was there today so I thought it's gonna be okay they won't forget anything, I believe his name is Fatme? Anyways they ended up forgetting pita bread, 1 sauce and the fried zucchini was dripping oil from the bottom of the bag. They continue to decline. It's too bad, this place was great 10-15 yrs ago. Remodel all you want but your losing customers due to incompetent employees. read more

Love the chicken and have been eating here for years. Wish they would go back to the sauce the way it used to be. Tastes like way too much dill now and it's not as good anymore. read more

This is my families go to for catering, and dinners. The amount we order from here is insane. About a month ago we ordered and immediately noticed the different tzatziki. Absolutely terrible. It tastes like sour cream with dried dill. There was no yogurt, garlic, or cucumber chunks. So we havent been back since and dont think we will. I even called twice to ask if they changed it and first time girl said no and second time someone said they only added vinegar. Idk, but if you change it back, we will all be back! read more

Yum! We have been here a couple times and it doesn't disappoint. Chicken is yummy whether it's the kabob plate or pita sandwich. Onion rings and half lb burger were a hit for my 12 year old. I love that they use fresh lettuce, tomato, and onions. I like the fried zucchini, they are like fries. Bonus they don't serve shrimp here so I can order anything on the menu. Food is messy in a good way, so plan to dine in. It's clean, well lit, and the music adds ambience. read more

Dear Greek Chicken... so sad after many years of enjoyment, you have stopped serving quality and delicious food. The Greek chicken salad is half the size it was and the salad is wilted. the chicken snack was not good. The chicken, rice and tzatziki was bland. Will not be going back. So sad. The food has changed. So disappointed. 12/12/25. read more

Greek Chicken - Greek Near Me - El Cajon, California

Tonight we went through the drive thru and ordered a chicken kebab dinner, a gyro, and an order of fried zucchini. The good news is that the chicken dinner and the gyro were actually great. I thought the flavor of the food was awesome and I will be back for the food. Unfortunately, when we got home, the zucchini was missing. For the food I may have been leaning to 5 stars but for service, not having an item, and getting home after paying for it, is a bummer. It was one of those situations also where it wasn't worth the time to drive back so we just had to accept we paid for something we didn't get. I understand this happens and it was busy, but it was just a bummer and we were looking forward to trying the zucchini. Next time we will just have to open the bag and check the order if we do a drive thru. read more

Worst dinner ever from this location! We had high hopes since they just remodeled. My husband ordered the fish & chips. The fish was overcooked and they forgot to include the fries. I ordered the kabob dinner. My salad was sitting in a container of water with lots of brown pieces of lettuce. They didn't include my salad dressing or the ranch dressing that was supposed to come with the side of onion rings we ordered that weren't even hot. So disappointing! We won't be going back to this location which is unfortunate since it is so close to our house. read more
