Keifer's Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Wraps, cotta potatoes, feta cheese sauce, and pita-Motz.... hard to beat. Their salads are good size and quality ingredients

Great food. You'll be hard pressed to find a better gyro! The atmosphere of the restaurant is open, friendly and makes you feel at home. I'm always impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant and friendly staff. I recommend trying the pita mozz - Enjoy! read more

This I may favorite Greek restaurant. I seek out Greek food first anywhere I go in the eastern US since it is my favorite and in all those stops I have only found one place that is almost as good as this restaurant. It's a cool atmosphere and they are almost always busy. Even if you are just passing through go out of your way to find this place. read more

Keifers is located right by the hospitals in an old house. We stopped by for a Friday lunch and it was incredibly difficult to get a parking spot or a table. That being said, our food came out quickly and everything was delicious. Popular at the table were the gyro, chicken gyro, pita mozz, and cottage fries. Do listen to the menu and don't unwrap your pita! If not you'll have a saucy mess on your hands. read more

Keifer's is SUCH a Jackson staple. Definitely worth a visit. They have tasty gyros on the warmest fluffiest pita bread. Their hummus is great and beer is cheap. Cottage fries are crucial - they slice the potato only in one dimension so you have fries that are just a big slab. They go really well with the sauces that they make in house or just ketchup of course. The gyros are all very well made, very filling. Service is quick. read more

they don't want you to walk in past 8. They stop selling alcohol at 8. Staff is very pouty and upset when you walk in at 8. Phones get disconnected at 8 so you can't place a togo order. Hours should say 11-8. read more

Gyros down to a science. Any place that serves a whole potato drizzled in peanut oil and battered in a home brew is worthy of praise. Moreover, any place that provides its own house sauce to accompany them deserves even more praise. Well, friends and neighbors, Kiefers deserves all the praise you can muster. Regrettably, I am not a Greek foodie nor fan. Social norms demanded that I accept a lunch invitation here. My only connection to Greece was the endearing uncle Jesse Katsopolis. The naked fear of a perceived missed lunch opportunity washed over me and saturated me with passive aggression. Recalcitrant as ever, I sat down and peered at the menu (1 sheet--2 sided). Touche young man. Do I like simple menus?--Damn straight. I fear lamb meat--the traditional ingredient of gyros. Feasting over lambs seems so ancient and somewhat occultish, if not Biblical. "What will we be having today?" The prompt waiter took me by surprise. My eyes rapidly scanned and I saw the words, "Beef and Cheese." "Let us upset the Hindus and not the new age pagans" I thought as I snickered inwardly. Safety first. Minutes later, I saw a funny thing laid before me. A warm bread blanket encapsulated a furious mix of white-hot (literally white- I think its mozzarella) cheese, shredded steak (sear marks apparent), and a glorious amount of onions and peppers. The blanket was barely appropriate. Cautiously yet coyly, I probed it with my fork as it bellowed up hot steam. It smelled like onions and sex. The first bite burned me and I cast it back down to its greasy parchment paper blanket. Damned hot-pocket rookie mistake 101. The second bite was the reward. I suspended a 3 foot cheese bridge between my own mouth and the funky little burrito looking thing before it ripped. This is that string-cheese ritual that we all crave from pizza as preached by their commercials and as practiced by that one scene on your old 101 Dalmatians VHS tape (in that plastic box). Essentially, this weird little burrito unfolded and I was mesmerized. I consumed the rest of it in a primal rage. I became a friend and lover of Keifer's ever since. Meanwhile, I noticed that the large home-fried and reddish/orange potato slices cooling. They looked back at me jealously. A damn good cut of fries seemed so distant in light of my steamy encounter with that funky new burrito looking gyro. I dunked the first one in catsup (not ketchup) instinctively. I was home. I dunked the second in this white little sauce in a small tin. The house "Fetta sauce." I became an addict of Fetta sauce that day. All for under $15.00. Categorizing it as a cheap thrill would be cheap. I was introduced to a life-altering experience and reacquainted with an old friend for under $15.00. I'd pay $25.00. Does Keifer's deliver? In the words of Michelle Tanner, "You got it dude." read more

Amazing place!! Great service. Good fantastic a must stop if in the Jackson area!!! Really electric environment.

Overrated. I was hoping for some good, quick Greek food like Zoeys Kitchen or Taziki's. My gyro was just ok. The whipped feta was salty! I felt like I needed to eat a salad when I left-- to rich. read more

Cheese pizza is excellent. Falafel good too. I like the outdoor patio. Wish you paid at table, not in front. Staff kind.

The first place I that comes to mind when I think of Greek food in the city. Keifer's has been my immediate go to on so many occasions when I could not decide what I wanted to eat, I always order the same chicken gyro and if I'm feeling indulgent I'll add the potato 'fries'. The pita bread is amazing and I often order it just to nibble on later in the day. If you have been in the city for more than a month and have not visited this established Jackson spot I am judging you harshly. Well, not too much. But you are really missing out on a great experience that is truly part of Jackson. read more

Keifer's Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

The food is just average. I placed a to go order for a gyro with fries and the wait time was only 10 minutes. The service must be pretty quick because there were so many people in the kitchen cooking as it was busy for lunch. When I finally got to taste the food, the fries weren't crispy, and I tried them in the car. And the gyro was just all right but the pita bread was good. read more

What a great place. It's quick and fresh and oh so good. Get the cottage fries and pita moz first then order your gyro! Def worth it! If you "don't like Greek" but still are interested get the turkey club wrap or the BLT wrap. Both are excellent! read more

My review is kinda petty. I went in because I've heard amazing things about Keifer's. I got the gyro and cottage fries to go. My order was ready really fast! The portions are really generous. The gyro was overstuffed. I liked the fries. My issue was with the construction of my gyro. The tzatziki sauce was on the bottom. They are wrapped in paper, so you'd kinda ruin it to unwrap and redistribute everything. So even though the ingredients were good, the first half was dry. I could have still unwrapped it and fixed it, but I wanted perfection. :-( read more

Awesome place where you can sit on the deck outside and drink a beer with your lunch!! I ordered the pita club gyro and wasn't disappointed. The sliced potato was good too glad I came here a waited read more

Another typical, small-time, Mississippi restaurant. Salad was about half a head of lettuce and a 1/4 Tbsp of dressing. I'd call this place "Keepers" rather "Keifers", i.e. you can keep it. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Greek salad was awful . I left with a Togo box full of lettuce . Didn't leave it because a couple had taken us out for dinner. Waiter was not good , brought our food out and put the ticket on the table and never came back. We flagged him down. Because he forgot French fries / potatoes which were good and get a draft beer, which he just wrote on the ticket he left at the table. We did eat outside and that was really nice. Disappointed . read more

Keifer's Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Food? Good. Experience? Subpar. A a friend of mine spilled her drink and the guy made us all move so he could mop the floor. It was just water. My cottage fries were soggy, but my chicken euro was delicious. Expensive, and skimpy on portions of the appetizers. Meh. read more

Probably my favorite gyros of all time. I think I've been going here since like 2006, before they moved locations. Great service and consistently great food every time. The pita moth and ham and cheese are my regular choices and I go every time I'm in town. read more

The very best! My first experience at Keifer's was in the early 80's. I remember the wonderful people and awesome food. Actually it was the first "Gyro" I had experienced. When I recently visited Keifer's and took my first bite I was thrilled to enjoy the flavor I remembered from decades back. read more

A staple of the Jackson food scene, Keifer's is as reliable as they come. I grew up eating at this restaurant and have probably been about 75 times - this is my comfort food. Through all those visits, I have never had bad/cold food and I have never had an inattentive server. Choosing Keifer's for lunch or dinner guarantees that you will have a good experience. I recommend the Gyro with sautéed onions/mushrooms/peppers and a side of cottage fries (dipped in their homemade feta dressing). read more

Interesting and popular. I was passing through Jackson for work and decided to use the On The Road app from food network. This place was visited by Cat Cora, so I decided to give it a try. Cat knows great Greek food. Located next to a hospital, it gets crazy at lunch time. Ask for a menu up front, then seat yourself. The salad with Feta dressing was stupendous. It's seriously good dressing. The open face Gyro was very tasty. Was it earth shatteringly good? No. I prefer the feta dressing to their tsiki sauce and wish I had asked for more. The meat was savory and hand carved as real gyro should. It was a very good meal, and I recommend. They only lost a star for serving generic condiments like monarch ketchup. A few cut corners, but overall a very nice place. read more

It's been about 3.5 years since I've eaten at Keifer's, and they haven't missed a beat! The food is still just as good. Our waiter was nice and knowledgeable. He made a few suggestions and they were all good ones. I'll try not to wait 3 years before going back. read more

I don't even like lamb, but their lamb gyros is so delicious. Their bread is nice and chewy, just the right texture. It's just a tad pricey, they sometimes put way too much yogurt and the service can be slow at times. Other than that, they're almost perfect =) read more

Great Greek food, but get here early - it will fill up at lunch! We love going to Keifers! The food is good, and they have traditional Greek food (gyro) or Greek/American food (chicken or hamburger in a gyro). Seat yourself and they will come and take your order. Try the pita bread or the big cut fries as an app as you struggle to order (lots of good choices!). Prices are very reasonable, this is a fun, no-nonsense restaurant. The staff are SUPER friendly and aim to please, and lines can get long, so be patient. The food is worth it, so give it a shot! Note, this is a seat yourself restaurant, and it fills to capacity at lunch. If you can't find a place to park, park in the Hospital ramp next door! read more

Love the food and atmosphere... Our server Haley was especially helpful with making decisions read more

I had forgotten how much I enjoy Keifer's. The food is consistently perfect. I love their Gyro and Baklava. In Jackson, most restaurants offer similar dishes by delivering a chicken selection, a red meat selection, a seafood selection, etc. The food here is a good detour from the norm. I wish they offered a full bar, but you can't have everything. read more

Fall in love with Jackson, Mississippi as you're sitting on the covered patio area soaking up the sunshine, listening to the birds chirp, and staring at the lovely beard of your server (if you're lucky!). Start with a Pita Mozz and Cottage Fried Potatoes for the table & work your way to a delicious Chicken Gyro all to yourself. Some seriously yummy Mediterranean food with a modern twist. Pick up is available. Pay at the counter when you're finished. Huge TV available in the back room. Friendly servers. Open kitchen. Large parking lot. Located near the hospitals & the famous Belhaven neighborhood. And don't forget your feta sauce! read more

Been eating here on and off for 25 years. Good food, but the attitude and care of the waiter left much to be desired. Not a busy night. Was told to sit anywhere and they would bring us a menu. The waiter walked by three times, even making eye contact, but to no acknowledgement of my existence. He was too busy counting his tip from the other table. After fifteen minutes and three passes by the waiter we walked out. Not sure if I will be back, Unless I want to sit on the patio and die of starvation. He almost looked annoyed we chose to sit on the patio. Am I invisible. Just go to Kristo's in Madison. They acknowledge you. read more

Hands down the best Greek Food around. Only complaint is I wish they actually had more Greek options. The pita bread is the best I've probably had. The atmosphere is great as well as the service! Will be back again and again! read more

Update on the situation my daughter's experienced, after the owner saw a complaint I posted on BBB he immediately called and reimburse my daughters money:) and apologized which we appreciate very much. I will remove my BBB complaint & hope that the owner retrained the manager & waiter. read more

I always get the gyro open-faced with mushrooms and onions and the cottage fries. I brought half of it home -- there is way too much to eat all at once. It is always so good!! I really like the atmosphere at Keifer's, and the servicer was friendly and attentive. read more

Keifer's Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Been going here with family since I was a child when their old location was across the street. Pita motz, cottage fries, club and grilled chicken gyros are a few of my go-to's when I'm in town. I also love that you can get the feta dressing in bottles now. They've used the same formula since the 90s and there's no reason they should change it now! read more

Don't know if they have new management but we had a very disappointing dining experience at one of our once favorite restaurants. Bad enough that we had to wait over an HOUR after we were seated but then they served us COLD food? What??? Come on. Too many other restaurants with great food and customer service that we will gladly take our business to. read more

The Beat Greek food on Jackson! I live in Chicago. I've been to a ton of Greek and Mediterranean restaurants. This is still one of my favorites. Try the pita with mozz and the chicken gyro. Love their seasoned home fries. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

April 30, 1:15 PM approximately, I ordered without a menu, 1 Gyro with mushrooms (extra), 1 Cottage Fried Potato, 1 glass of tea. My bill was $17.77, I paid with a $20.00 bill and give the change as tip. I was in a hurry because my wife was having surgery across the street in Baptist Hospital. No receipt was given. I was overcharged. $20.00 for lunch is too expensive for my taste. read more

Great find for food in Mississippi...especially in a Sunday! It's hard to find many places open on a Sunday. The Gyro was amazing! The Patilla appetizer was the best! Great place. Great atmosphere. read more

If you love Greek cuisine and great atmosphere you HAVE to check this place out. The whole fried spud, the classic gyro, it's all DELICIOUS! Add on the great service and you have an A+ restaurant on your hands. Could not recommend more. read more
