Homer's Restaurant, is an oasis of calm in the bustling University of Winnipeg. The place to celebrate special occasions or an authentic Greek meal. You will enjoy lovingly created dishes served by engaged and knowledgeable staff. Homer's Calamari was perfect! The breading was light and perfectly crunchy, the rings were toothsome but not rubbery. The Dipping Platter had shiny, briny Kalamata olives, silky hummus, warm flatbread wedges. The lamb and pork souvlaki were served with lightly seasoned fresh vegetables and Greek potatoes that were buttery soft, with a seared outside that moved them into the sublime. The moussaka was filled with flavour and a meat sauce that brought the dish to the next level. The baklava, dense and with ground nuts that took softened the honeyed sweetness, has a beautiful crisp phyllo crust that crackled when my fork pressed in for the first bite. A delightful meal. read more

My party of three adults dined at Homers earlier today to celebrate my brother's 75th birthday. Our server, Lilly, was so friendly and accommodating. I began my meal with a large bowl of avgolemono soup, served with a dinner roll, while my brother had a Greek salad of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and peppers topped with feta cheese and olives dressed with an olive oil and red wine vinaigrette. Both my brother and I ordered Moussaka which included layers of sauteed eggplant, zucchini, and potatoes with both meat sauce and bechamel sauce. Interestingly, my brother and I each asked for rice with our Moussaka. Vegetables included cauliflower, broccoli, beets, and carrots. The third member of our group ordered Gyros, a blend of lamb and beef spiced with herbs, and he ordered rice as well. The restaurant brought my brother a small piece of Baklava on the house since it was his 75th birthday. I ordered cheesecake which was light and fluffy along with a pot of Earl Grey tea. Our entire meal was absolutely delicious with all dishes being served piping hot. I would highly recommend visiting Homers for superb food and decent sized portions. Respectfully submitted, Donn K.

We have always loved going to Homer's for Greek food. With the COVID pandemic, we have been trying to do take out at least once a week for many restaurants in the city and Homer's has been one of our favorites by far! The food is always amazing with very generous portions and it is packaged beautifully with take out containers in a nice cardboard box. They always have the food ready on time for pick up, and they do a great job of keeping the lobby organized for safe and distanced pick ups. We live in the South end of the city, and the food is always hot and fresh when we get it home thanks to the great packaging. We usually get chicken souvlaki, with the lemon potatoes and Greek salad. Sometimes we also add soup and/or moussaka or hummus as an appetizer. Everything we have tried is excellent! They even include fresh baked buns with the take out orders! read more

My fiancé and I decided we'd were all dressed up from being at a wedding and wanted to go for a meal. Apparently we were over dressed but Homers didn't disappoint! The service was very courteous, from the appetizers to the main course it was all hot, seasoned well and very tasty. Pricing was good, just over $90 and we bothered had 2 drinks each. Would definitely recommend and will be back!! read more

A true gem in Winnipeg....I guess a diamond in the rough. Excellent potatoes and very tasty Greek style dishes. I was turned on to this place by a friend that lives in the Peg. Wow, what a great recommendation. I mean, if you could take an old Greek woman's kitchen or old Greek mans kitchen, and take their secret family recipes and serve them to the public....that is probably how this place got started. I wonder if any of the cast of My Big Fat Greek Wedding ever ate here, because I am sure the also would have loved it. read more

I was so impressed. I had dinner for 12 catered at my home for Easter. The lemon potatoes are to die for. The food was delicious. It arrived hot, right on time. I will definitely do this again! Even the price was right! Thank you so much! read more

First time customer and it definitely won't be my last visit! The food was absolutely heavenly. The service was wonderful. I wish I lived there so I could go more often. Thank you for a memorable visit! read more

I returned 3 years later and not much as changed. The food is alright and good option for a group party - which I was at because the food is in the right price range (entrees $13-$22), good portions and works for most palates. I tried the Greek Trio ($21.95) - start with a soup or salad and you get choice of two souvlaki skewers (pork or chicken) and a choice of pastio (Greek version of a lasagna) or spanokopita (phyllo spinach pie) with lemon potatoes or rice and vegetables. The Greek salad was good but not traditional as there was lettuce. The complimentary bread was warmed up but had a very hard exterior. The chicken skewers were generous and moist. The pastio had a nice nutmeg flavour and didn't taste too heavy. The green beans were overcooked and soggy. The rice was also a tad soggy too. Overall, the food was alright but nothing I'd run back for. Fair price as I still had almost half to take home. Lots of parking in the private lot in front of the restaurant. Service was friendly and kept up with the water service. read more

Homer's Restaurant & Catering - Greek trio - two chicken souvlaki with pastio and rice. Includes Greek salad. - Greek Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

I got a hair in my salad and an excuse that this hair was coming from my friend and not from their kitchen. I find the water's response was very rude. If I get a hair in my salad what kind of kitchen do you run??? No, need to search for excuses and tell me that it's my friend's hair was INSIDE the salad.. This was ugly. read more

I've had great Greek food in Athens and in Greektown Toronto, and while this wasn't quite that good, it still was very tasty, especially the pita and dips. I'll definitely be back here again in the future. read more

The service sucked. They forgot the bread and we didn't even get a menu until 20 minutes after we sat down and there was only 2 tables full of people. Unacceptable. The table that came in AFTER us was even complaining about their food. OUR food was good though. read more

We have tried going the past 3 years in the summer and found it closed each time. The website shows open till 11:pm but that is for catering only. We will not try again. read more

Food is always adequate but service was horrible. So bad that I will not return. We waited a long time for our food. Which was lukewarm. Then waited even longer to pay our bill. The restaurant was not busy. Waitresses just ran around looking like they were busy. Owner sat at the table next to us an very loudly had a conversation on the phone. Not professional at all. read more

A few of us went here with friends of the family for a birthday dinner. We were a larger group (about 10 or so) and to our surprise we did get in right away. That was what bumped this review to one star (I know there is no 'zero star' rating). To begin with, a few pieces of cutlery and a glass were dirty and the waitress didn't seem to care much when we asked to get a clean one. We looked at the menu, but we had to wait around ten minutes for our order to be taken. I went with the steak, med (lightly pink) and my brother had the same with his being med well (no pink). One in our group is severely allergic to pepper and notified them about this issue. when we got our food, both my brothers and my steak were bloody (very rare) and the allergic member found a lot of cracked pepper in her food. When she notified the waitress, she was told that there was no pepper in her dish, and insisted this even though she was shown the pepper. The rest of the group said the food was okay, nothing fancy, and we all found the service was slow. The waitress just did not care about anyone, and it wasn't even busy in the restaurant! It seemed like we were inconveniencing her. The restaurant is nice, pretty to look at, but the service... that's what killed it. There could have been something going on with the server (bad days and such), but when they represent the image of the restaurant, they should at least make an effort to portray a good image, or take a break and collect yourself. read more

I had heard a lot of hype about their food, but we were severely disappointed. The Calamari, while being a large portion was incredibly bland, the serving of lemon potatoes was 4 pitifully small slices. The chicken Slovakia was bland, and whatever sauce they put on the rice was terrible. The Greek salad was not a traditional Greek salad either, was rather small and mostly made of shredded lettuce with one olive. The potato lemon soup was pretty good, and the Gyro was okay- pretty much just tasted like tzatziki which is pretty hard to screw up. Don't think I'll be eating there again- Santa Lucia had far bigger, more flavourful portions for about the same price. read more
