    Fish and Chips (special, not listed on menu). Best coleslaw I've had in my life.
    Alex W.

    Outstanding restaurant/bar in the heart of Bridgeport on 35th street. The food here is amazing and the employees are very attentive and so friendly. I've had many of Chicago's best chicken wings, but these rank right up there with the best of the best (Bird's Nest, Jake Melnick's, etc.). The Greek sauce wings are juicy and flavorful. Perfect ratio of chicken to batter. Great beer selection to go with your wings as well. Twice I was lucky enough to have the Fish and Chips which is not on the menu (yet) because it is occasionally served as a special. Again, perfect ratio of fish to batter and flavorful as well. Served with a heaping pile of delicious French fries and the best coleslaw I have ever had in my life. On the way out, they have desserts that are all homemade (turtle cake, cannoli) and their ice cream is locally sourced so that you can really plump yourself up with a nice dessert. Fantastic restaurant with equally fantastic waitstaff.

    Saganaki sticks - rich and tasty!
    Cynthia N.

    We keep coming back! We recently discovered the grilled vegetables skewers and they're surprisingly awesome... and make you feel less guilty about the rest of the meal. We usually get take out. One time we dined in (an early weeknight with our toddler) and for some reason the food wasn't as good, maybe it was what we ordered. The burger wasn't anything special and didn't really satisfy my burger craving. When we dined in, we got the flaming saganaki cheese and it was a lot of fun. I wish I had my toddlers reaction on camera- she got really scared. The saganaki was delicious but I def felt guilty eating all that greasy cheese. We'll keep ordering gyro, saganaki sticks, chocolate cake, and vegetable skewers for takeout and will give dine-in another shot. They're very kid-friendly!

    A friend recommended Greek Prime Kitchen & Bar and called it a hidden gem in Bridgeport--they weren't lying! When you walk in, you first pass through the carry-out section, then enter the bar and dining room. At first glance, it feels like a typical bar and grill near the Sox stadium, but the food and service set it apart. Our bartender doubled as our server, and she was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations. We started with the Greek Chicken Quesadilla served on pita bread, a creamy Greek chicken soup, and a Greek salad. Everything was fresh and flavorful. For mains, we tried a few skewer platters: filet mignon, chicken, and shrimp. The chicken was slightly overcooked but still packed with flavor. Bonus: we were there during happy hour, so wine was only $6 a glass! Overall, this spot exceeded expectations. I'll definitely be back and adding it to my regular rotation.

    Gyro Sandwich with Greek rice, Greek chicken wings

    I finally had a chance to make it back. And they definitely have won me over. There was a group of 10 of us. They were busy and Is a great neighborhood go to. Didn't have a chance to take pictures but everyone enjoyed the food. We started with the saganaki cheese and the saganaki sticks. Both very good. The saganaki must be eaten on the bread, it's salty alone. The sticks were very good and can be eaten without bread. There was a variety of dishes people ordered. There were chicken bowls, filet mignon bowls and filet mignon platters. Will be back again.

    Gyros plate and chicken platter with rice yummy!

    Went here for the first time tonight. It was WAY BEYOND what we expected. Sorry Greektown we won't be going there anymore Greek Prime was so much better. We ordered so much food. The standouts for us were the spinach pie, gyros plate with rice and Greek potato (don't judge my double carb) and chicken platter with rice and fries. Nick was our server super helpful and attentive. We took home a ton of leftovers. And already making plans to go back this weekend. Definitely worth visiting or getting delivery.

    Bbq gyro and a side of rice
    Yianni M.

    I'm a northsider White Sox fan, and I had a meeting for a dj gig near Sox Park, so I decided to stop by and check out Greek Prime. I got a BBQ Gyro and a side of rice, but I got it to go so I wouldn't be stuck in traffic. I don't know how the gyro made it intact all the way home . I just ate the gyro and ohhhh man it was great. It had cheese, yellow and orange peppers and bbq sauce. It reminded me of the creative recipes the gyro spots in Greece have. You can still get a traditional gyro here though. And the rice is so tasty and has the perfect amount of garlic flavor.

    Chilaquiles Special

    After being away from home for almost 6 months, the very first place I had to eat when I landed was Greek Prime in Bridgeport -- and as always, they did not disappoint! Carmen, who co-owns the restaurant with her husband Mike, always welcomes us like family. Even though I didn't snap a pic, she sent out dessert for my kids just because -- something she's done more than once. That's the kind of love this place runs on. ‍ Mike is a 3rd or 4th generation chef, and you can taste the tradition in every bite. His Avgolemono soup is the closest thing I've had to my Aunt Leanora's, and if you know, you know -- that's saying a LOT. The Greek Prime Beef Sandwich is packed with perfectly marinated and seasoned meat, and every special is so well-portioned you'll leave with leftovers (which I was happily enjoying as I wrote this ). I'm also so hyped they brought breakfast back! Their chilaquiles special was hands down the best I've had -- whether from a Mexican or Greek spot. The flavors, textures, and presentation were on point. And just in time for summer -- they remodeled their outdoor patio, and it looks awesome! Perfect spot to kick back, grab a meal, and soak in that Bridgeport charm. Before I moved to Lamar, Colorado, I had the privilege of working for Greek Prime. I can say from experience: this is a real family-run gem in the best food city in the world. If you know, you know. Don't sleep on Greek Prime. From the kitchen to the kindness -- this place delivers every time.

The moment I stepped inside, I felt like I had been transported to a small Greek taverna. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming. One of the highlights for me was being able to order and converse in Greek, it made the experience feel that much more authentic and special. Of course, I couldn't decide on just one dish, so I had to order a little bit of everything. Why not? The saganaki was absolutely delicious and is definitely a must-try. The avgolemono was decent and comforting, though it wasn't quite as memorable for me. The pastitsio was a bit of a mix. The flavor was delicious and packed with that classic Greek comfort-food goodness, but unfortunately, the béchamel was overcooked and had become too firm. Overall, between the friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and flavorful food, I had a very good experience at Greek Islands. There are still plenty of classic dishes I'd like to try, so I wouldn't hesitate to come back the next time I'm in Chicago.

That was a show & highlight every time. I believe now they torch in kitchen and bring to your table. I miss that experience, perhaps a thing of the past. I can only speculate a plate of flaming saganaki met a litigious human at some point along the line in the Greek food world, ending an era. Alas, I Look forward to returning.

The 1st that plans ahead and gets to places early. And the 2nd that is there for a good time but always gets everywhere late. Those of us that wanted to come early and not worry decided that we wanted to go to a restaurant close by to wait for our tour time and that's how we found Ema. As soon as we walk inside we see how beautiful and modern the interior looks. They had a lot of seating available and we got a nice table by the window with a view We wanted to eat light before the tour so we shared a bunch of small plates. We ordered the mushroom escargot, lemon Caesar, crispy potatoes, a couple orders of hummus and some chicken kebabs. That mushroom escargot was one of my favorite things I ate during the entire Chicago trip. The mushrooms were creamy and rich. It tasted umami, bright from the lemon, slightly spicy from the Calabrian breadcrumbs, and paired perfectly with some warm pita bread on the side. The hummus was smooth and well seasoned. The lemon caesar was fresh and fairly standard. The crispy potatoes were perfectly textured and were soft and pillowy on the inside. As long as they sat on the table they never lost their crisp. The chicken kebabs were tenderly, juicy and garlicky. We were all putting together our perfect bite combinations with the pita bread. Everything we ordered I would actually order again. Though may want to try a different salad next time since the Caesar was pretty simple. Regardless, still no real complaints with the food Our server was charismatic and funny. He had a great attitude and entertained us throughout the meal. Everything came out promptly as well so we made it out and could take our time walking to the riverboats. Lucky for our friends the tour said they'd be docked for a few minutes after our scheduled start time to set everything up. As 3 minutes after our start time we see group 2 sprinting up from a couple blocks away Overall Ema was consistent, flavorful and reliable. Not a bad price point either for what you get. I'd definitely recommend and come back

While it was shown on the lunch menu on their website, the Prawns Saganaki was actually not on the lunch menu. Luckily, the kitchen has prepared it (for dinner) so I was able to try it. In total 4 pc of big shrimp, served with tomato sauce, crumbled feta and cherry tomatoes. The feta was so finely crumbled that it could easily "melt" in the sauce. The cherry tomatoes added more juiciness to it. Overall great, and definitely paired well with the pita. What made me disappointed, if not annoyed, was the check-in. I waited for nearly 6 min until someone finally noticed me. The staff said she would come "just a minute". At that time a woman (white) went into the restaurant and sat at the bar. Then she started to greet her, and discussed the menu with her, and even took the order! Looked like she completely forgot my presence. Possibly some discrimination/racism idk. i would have left if the restaurant did not charge a no-show fee for reservation. Luckily they took off the pita from my bill after I complained about the waiting time (I did not say about discrimination because I am not sure about it).

I opted for the chicken kalamata dinner for the main event, which came with more french bread and a salad. The salad came out first, and it was pretty simple with minimal dressing. I wished there had been more variety in produce and something besides iceberg lettuce for greens. I'd recommend getting some feta on the side to add some flavor. The chicken, however, was absolutely outstanding. It was super tender, seasoned beautifully with za'atar, and brined in vinegar (I think). The za'atar seasoned french fries underneath were extra crispy and perfectly soaked up the extra sauce from the chicken. For the price, this place is a steal- you really can't beat the quantity and quality of food that you get. Overall, a great experience- I definitely recommend making a stop if you're in the area!
