I have never been here before and just wanted a good salad. I order the Gyro Salad and was very pleasantly surprised. It was seasoned to perfection and the salad was very fresh tasting. The owner was there, I think, and he was very funny. I would definitely recommend the place. read more

Truly I think it's more of a 4.5 stars for me. Had the chicken plate with salad, rice and pita. Very filling and reasonably priced for San Diego. Everything came out piping hot and tasty. read more

Kojack's - Chicken plate - Greek Near Me - San Diego, California

Compared to its neighboring establishments, Kojacks offers well seasoned, well portioned meals for far cheaper than all the other tourist traps around Mission Beach & Belmont Park. It's a very hole in the wall type of place and once you come inside, you realize it's truly a no frills establishment where you order, you wait for your food and you eat. Don't expect too much of the extra fluff, you go there to eat and that's what you'll get. There's definitely a bit of a language barrier beyond anything other than ordering from the menu. By no means are they rude, they just aren't there to chit chat. The burger and chicken tenders are a solid two- person combo, comparable to the food you'd get at a Padres game with a little more love. It's cooked right in front of you. No sketchy business in the back. 3/5 cause it's not the type of place you crave or look forward to. It's just one of the more affordable options in walking distance from the shore while all of its other fast food neighbors are abhorrently inflating their prices. read more

Delicious food. It was really reasonable priced, especially for being right off the beach. Try the Gyro!

I've been going to Kojack's since I was a kid, so admittedly I'm a bit biased here, but in all honesty, Kojack's is just the perfect little no-thrills beachside spot, one that essentially hasn't changed theough the years, aside from the prices and the aging of the photos on the walls. Even the staff seems the same, delivering the same smiles and friendly hellos that they did a few wrinkles and grey hairs ago. The staticness is ironically refreshing. I always order the gyros platter, which is reliably satisying, as they do a great job with the sliced gyro meat as well as tzatziki -- far better than some much pricer places, I might add. People seem be happy with the American choices as well, but it's been a while since I've strayed from my gyros personally. Lastly, the old style fast food booths really take me back to when I was a kid. In short, quality with nostalgia is a lovely combo, and Kojack's delivers both in spades. read more

Love love love!! Love me a good chicken souvlaki and this place was it. The workers were the kindest, location right next to the beach, and prices are so fair. There's indoor and outdoor seating as well. My friends got fish and chips & chicken tenders and they enjoyed the meal as well. read more

Never go to this restaurant. We were there today and they kicked a poor pregnant lady out of their seat bc she sat there feeling like she was going to pass out. The yelled at her and said if she's not eating there, to get out, even after she explained she didn't feel well. read more

Worst place ever. Wish I could give zero stars. Be human and treat people right. Hire actual nice humans. Do not support this place! They treated a pregnant Lady soooo rude. She was about to pass out and sat in the seat in front of the store and came out and yelled at her. After sayings she's pregnant and about to pass out the jerk said if you're not eating here get out of our seat. Wow his unreal. Be better!!! Just to clarify I saw this and don't know the poor girl but just wow!! I still am pissed. He's lucky she was not my family read more

Falafel was delicious and filling. The service was very friendly. Prices were reasonable. I would return.

Simple, delicious, and back to basics! No fancy schmancy add ons or "fusions". Very mom & pop vibes and food is made with love

There's a small, quietly unassuming establishment nestled just across the broad and breezy street from the kaleidoscopic sprawl of Belmont Park in Mission Beach. It's called Kojak's Greek Euro. a name that feels less like branding and more like the affectionate nickname of a forgotten uncle. And indeed, stepping into Kojak's feels like entering the kind of memory you didn't know you had. The walls are neither aggressively modern nor nostalgically kitsch. Instead, they strike a balance with sun washed posters of Santorini, a faded map of the Mediterranean, a photo of Kojak himself, perhaps that makes you feel as if you've been here before, maybe in a dream, or a childhood road trip you only remember through the scent of grilled meat and the sound of distant carousel music. Now about the food: the gyro is perfect. Impossibly warm and tender shavings of meat wrapped in a pita that's soft but still with a backbone. The tzatziki is a cool and garlicky whisper, the lettuce crisp like a page in an old travel diary. You don't eat it so much as you return to it. The nostalgia isn't just aesthetic, it's alchemical. Every bite feels imbued with summers past, sunburned shoulders, sand in your shoes, laughter echoing across the boardwalk. The taste, while objectively excellent, is elevated by memory. your own, or the one Kojak's gently lends you. Five stars, not because it's the most gourmet place in San Diego, but because it doesn't need to be. It's honest. It's earnest. It's the kind of place where time stops just long enough for you to remember what happiness tasted like at seventeen. read more

i am greek so always looking for authentic spots and this one is one of my favorites of sd!!! sooo good and always so fresh. highly recommend read more

The best gyro I've tasted, ever. Meat is super tasty, with crispy bits that make it super delicious, the salad is fresh and well seasoned, perfectly paired with the toasted pita and the delicious tzatziki. Not to add that the baklava is also made in-house and is one of the best I've had as well, with caramelized sides and toasted to perfection. Thank you so much for your delicious food. P.S. - my picky 4 y.o son almost finished all his gyro meat, and stated "this is the best food in san diego!" read more

We shared a gyro meat and Greek salad. Nice combo of tender and crispy gyro meat. Fresh salad with tasty cucumber, tomatoe, olives, and feta. The tzatziki sauce was good. The pita was warm and soft. We went in after sunset and we were able to sit in a booth. The guy who took our order was friendly and easy going. Perfect after a long walk on the beach. read more

The cheese steak was delicious, the gyro was amazing. Friendly staff. What more can I say.

My friend is a regular at this place and finally I decided to try it for myself. We went here around 9:00 p.m. Sunday night, they close at 10:00. We ordered two breakfast Gyros with a side of fries. Apparently, this is on their secret menu, and I highly recommend it! If you love any type of breakfast foods it's similar to breakfast burrito but with gyro. Jam packed with flavor. Made fresh to order. Also, the fries are perfectly salted, crunchy, and soft. It was a great meal. I live right around the corner, so I definitely will be returning customer. read more

Great food & service. Love the vibe here, small town vibe in a busy beach town. 10/10 recommend!!!

We've been coming here for 10+ years for great gyros. We ask Mike to put the meat on the grill to get crispy. add their delicious tzatziki sauce and OMG! Perfection! The gyros are our favorite but the chicken tenders, burgers and fries are a solid 10. The owner, Mike has been a Mission Beach staple for over 30 years working tirelessly to make the best food in MB. You can eat it at Kojak's or get it to go and picnic on the beach just watch out for the seagulls they love their fries. read more

Incredible food, incredible service and a staff that takes pride in their food. We had a falafel pita and they thought of everything - including extra pickles and banana peppers. For someone who is so-so with falafel - it was DELICIOUS! The best falafel I've ever had. My daughter loved the hot dog and fries as well. It's a great spot! read more

Something casual by the beach. We had 2 falafel sandwiches, shared large drink and small fries for 25 bucks what a deal! The sandwiches were freshly made. The fries had a nice greek seasoning on it. They were a bit to golden for me, but still good. Thus place is greek owned the baklava looked wonderful, but it was lunch so did not want to gild the lily. It's right next to the beach, Belmont Park and touristy souvenir stores. Would love to try their gyro sometime if in the area. read more

The food was fresh and delicious! One of the best falafel I've ever had. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

My family and I ate here around 5:30pm on 3/23, the cook seemed irritable and on edge. He asked me from the start if he should pack my food to go, it felt like he was trying to kick us out. The pizza was awful and undercooked, I wasn't even cut it all the way. When we received the pizza, the cook threw paper plates at us rudely.. The fries came out deep brown and soggy, hinting that the oil in the fryer has not been changed for a while. I noticed the family next us ordered water with their food and the same cook filled up cups from the handwashing station faucet. I do not recommend eating here. read more

I brought my 3 year old niece here for a fast bite to eat and then came back with my mom and husband. It was awesome service, the gyros were incredible of course, and my guy's bacon cheeseburger received a rave review. The owner is awesome and there is so much history in this place. We will come back every time we're in town!! read more

Went here because the rest of my group wanted something Mediterranean. We ordered some falafels and gyros and it was ok. The falafels were on the dry side and they didn't offer and tzatziki sauce. We took our food to go because sitting there wasn't super pleasant. Very bright! I ordered a couple of beers and he gave it to me in a huge soda cup. That was weird again... definitely something different than just Mexican food and tacos! read more

Terrible service! Taking advantage of tourists! I paid for the stuff I didn't order . When I asked about it, they said it's not a big deal. I was told they will void the first order and fix it.Not only they didn't fix it they charge me for the first and second order so I paid $25 for just one sandwich with no fries or drink. NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN. read more

I've been eating here for over 20 years and not much has changed... which is why I really like eating at Kojack's. The same family has been running this place for decades. I only know them as a customer, but they've always been very nice to who ever comes through the door. Kojack's is a small Mediterranean restaurant across the parking lot from Belmont Park, located in a stretch of bars and restaurants that line a sidewalk/street that brings you up to Mission Beach. The food hits the spot, they've got the classic entrees: Gyro Sandwiches, Falafel, and Dolmas. They almost always have a dish of Baklava out for sale. Now that I'm in my 40's and have little ones, I appreciate the kid's menu with pizza and corn dogs. We also love their fries with the cold ketchup. This place is super small and cramp. There is seating at the bar (Budweiser on tap), some bench seating along the far wall, and a small patio seating on a (usually) crowded/high traffic sidewalk. They have a men's and women's bathroom in the very back. Pro-tip: If it's not a windy day, grab your oder to-go, and sit up on the sea wall. Take in a street performance or the beautiful ocean views. read more

I wanted to get a quick bite, but bar food didnt sounds good... the bartender recommended Kojacks, and his rec was 100% accurate. The owner was very kind, and recommended the gyro meal. It was delicious. He added tziki with tomatoes and onions, and grilled the meat so it was a little crisp. DELICIOUS! Fries were good too. I would absolutely go back if I were in the area. read more

I was craving fish n' chips and came across this place after a quick Yelp search. My order didn't take long to prepare. The fish was tasty and the batter was super crispy. It paired well with the creamy tartar sauce it came with. The french fries are pretty salty. For $15, I hoped I would get more than two pieces of fish and a couple of fries! read more

Love this place and the food! Service is fast and friendly and always come here when we're in San Diego!

Kojacks is a hole in the wall Greek place that also has a random selection of pizzas and salads. Don't expect anything fancy just expect to get you cravings satisfied. My wife and I stopped in on the way back to our hotel for a late night snack. We both got the gyros, the meat was well seasoned and overall was a good quality gyro. We also got fries that were hot and fresh. I would stop by again for a late night snacks. read more
