Quick bite, unexpected bright spot. Stopped by for a quick sandwich. We got a patty melt and a cheesesteak with onion rings. Both sandwiches were generous, satisfying, and enough for leftovers. The real standout, though, was the staff. The new hire at the register was friendly and efficient. But the woman who caught me mid-selfie at the frosted Christmas tree? "Let's do this right," she said, and we were co-conspirators in capturing a little sparkle. We ended up chatting for a bit. It's not every day you cross paths with someone who sees the same small things you do and doesn't treat them like background noise. Wishing everyone a merry Christmas, but especially her. read more

The food is absolutely, out of this world. Creative menu by Chef Micah. My absolute favorite is the Brussel sprout and bacon pizza. The onion rings and ranch is crazy good as well. Service was sweet. Great friendly neighborhood vibes that creates a nice environment to enjoy food with family and friends. read more

Had a great meal last night at Jimmy Da Greeks. The place was clean and inviting, multiple TVs playing different channels for entertainment. The food order was done quickly and served with a smile. THEY HAVE THE BEST ICED TEA on the peninsula as far as I am concerned. The owner came out and greeted us and asked how we liked our meal when we were done. Just a really great experience all around. read more

Was rushing home from a trip to see a relative at the hospital and desperate for lunch. We were warmly welcomed upon entering and told to take our time selecting our takeout order. A longtime customer decided to stop and recommend the Greek salad and any gyro-type sandwich, so my husband and I got both - choosing a chicken gyro for our sandwich. The salad was excellent - fresh, crispy lettuce, plenty of cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and the tastiest blocks of feta (not remotely salty). The bread used for the gyro was so fresh and flavorful. The lettuce and thinly-slivered onions overwhelmed the meat a bit, but the sandwich was quite good. There are clearly a lot of regulars, especially people getting pizza. We'll definitely be back when we return to town. read more

We ate with this choice. The prices here are insanely good for the amount of food they give us. Like I mean the pizza is so stuffed with topping. This is definitely worth it. It is hands down the best hummus I've had. The service was good. They were all so kind and welcoming. I loved it. I'm coming back. They slayed. read more

Visited a couple days ago and was pleasantly surprised! The food portions were huge! I had the Italian sub, which was perfectly toasted and the bread walked that fine line between chewy and crisp. The service was exceptional, and the owner took his time visiting the customers in the restaurant to have conversations. An excellent experience all around and I will definitely be back soon. read more

Oh, I so very much struggle on this type of pizza joint. Its price is decent, the people are good, and the place is like most any other pizza sports bar. Plenty of TVs, acceptable volume, and clean. The service was great, attentive, and the place filled a bit when we were there, showing the locals like it. Where's my struggle. Price vs cheese. My apologies, but I feel that utilitarian food needs to be improved for us to all have better lives. To explain, I'll tell of this basic sausage pizza, in three major acts: Crust: nice rise, and had a great cook to it... it wasn't particularly flavorful, but it wasn't bland. Very middle of the road. Sauce and toppings: middle of the road... unimpressive. Cheese: The one cheese wonder, with no depth, character, or life. Yes, it was stringy, and gooey as it should have been. But that's where it ends. There's no toss of cheddar or other cheeses on top. No color from the oven turning the mozzarella into a brown and white reckled landscape of goodness. Nothing. It was a bland topper to the rest of the middling tastes. So, you get what you pay for... and when we get this low in price, I usually expect it. It's pizza for selling beer, for filling the gullet, but not for tantalizing the senses. I don't feel that mindless food is what Yelp should be about... read more

The service was great, simple Greek joint. The tzatziki sauce was a different texture, more like a sour cream than a yogurt I've had at other Greek places, I feel like it needed a little more flavor. The homemade chips were super good! read more

If you're looking for a nice hearty fresh quick meal this is your place. Very clean, friendly service and our food came out quickly. I had the special tuna steak sandwich with fries. The sandwich was cooked well, the sauce was yummy and the seasoned fries were great! This is the sort of place where you order at the counter and then you pick your food up when it's ready. Great family setting read more

Walk in on looking for lunch on break during a moving job. I needed a perfect spot to eat but nothing to fill me up so I can keep doing the moving job. I walked in and was greeted by Donald and Nava immediately! They asked if it was our first time and then explain the menu and answered 101 questions we had about the items with a smile and good details on the item. They sold us on the cheesesteaks! we waited outside and Nava came to bring the delicious meal.....Cheesesteak perfectly cooked and seasoned....fries fresh and crispy with seasoning and Parmesan sprinkles....Boi o Boii!!!!!........needless to say.....I'm not going back to work....Im going to sleep! my stomach is very happy! read more

If you leave hungry it's your own fault. Food portions are very generous. The subs and sandwiches are packed. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Don't forget to get the punch card. After 6 visits you get a free 12 inch sub. read more

I've gotten delivery from this eatery for a couple of years, and recently started dining in. It is very local to me and "Jimmy" the owner is frequently on site. The offerings are generally deli sandwiches and pizza. Ever since I started ordering from them I have been overwhelmed by the huge portions. Today I got a Reuben with fries and it covered an entire large plate. My husband got the New Yorker, which was always a favorite of my son's when he lived here. Even my husband could not finish his sandwich in one go. Most of my family got the chips, which are really tasty and seem homemade. They are a sort of thin waffle chip. My other son today got the Greek Burger and my daughter in law got the Chicken Gyro. Again, huge portions. On a previous visit they had a Greek special with chicken and rice. My son has been craving that since then although it hasn't reappeared on the menu when we've been in. The spanakopita, a Greek spinach and cheese filled pastry, is made from Jimmy's mother's recipe. She just passed away recently but Jimmy assures us she taught some of the kitchen staff to make it just as she did. I have had the spanakopita on several visits and it is stuffed full of spinach. That can be good or bad, depending on your affection for cooked spinach. The dining area is quite large as it used to be a nicely appointed Chinese restaurant for many years called Spring Garden and later Le Bamboo Bistro. There is no remnant of either of those previous eateries. This is a vinyl booths, claw and arcade machines, order at the counter family establishment. All of the staff that I have ever encountered are friendly, customer oriented and eager to please. I haven't ever been in for dinner but during the day there is a steady flow of customers and many families. The prices are moderate but to feed a family of 4 today the cost was about $65 for 4 sandwiches and drinks. So about $15 per person. That must be why the portions are so huge. I really wish many places would offer smaller options and charge less. But any place in Virginia that sells alcohol (they sell beer here) has to charge more for food to make up for that provision that food sales significantly exceed alcohol sales. If you are hungry for made to order, huge portions and a casual environment from a locally owned small business, bring your family, friends and your appetite to this Yorktown eatery. read more

This place was really clean and welcoming! The customer service was very cheerful and inviting. You order at the register and seat yourself. I ordered the Greek nachos which were tasty, it had gyro beef/lamb meet with pita triangles, lettuce, tomato, onions and tzatziki sauce. My husband ordered a grilled chicken gyro, that's what I would order when we return because the chicken was seasoned well, and it was really fresh, and juicy! Inside it was kind of like a restaurant/sports bar because it had multiple tv's and tables and booths. Would definitely recommend! read more

It's a nice Greek style deli. The service was quick and we got our food shortly after ordering. They had tons of options, and also offered meat alternatives if you don't like beef or lamb for your gyro. I tried it with the grilled chicken and it was so good juicy and tender ! The spot is decently sized with some booth and table seating inside. If you like classic Greek gyros and sandwiches give this place a try you won't leave hungry! read more

Jimmy, forgive me for not coming in more often and for never reviewing... fresh and flavorful like the first time I stopped by, it's good to see things haven't changed. The chicken gyro was everything I needed. As we walked in, we were very pleasantly welcomed by someone who gave us a quick run down and some recommendations - turned out he was actually off the clock and was heading home for the day, but was kind enough to spare a few minutes for us to make sure we were looked after. Thank you! I loved the homemade waffle potato chips; a crunchy exterior similar to potato chips, few were soft in the middle - except for the larger chips, but they were delicious. I finished them all. The portion was huge. I'm not ashamed. The restaurant area was quiet for a 4pm on a Tuesday, but there were many take out orders being picked up, which very quickly has me adding JDG to my list of take out options, opa! read more

This is a hometown family run favorite for sure. We visited mid afternoon when things weren't too busy. We decided to eat in because we saw a funky table that doubled as a video game on the bottom and I'm a sucker for those types of things. The cashier was helpful in guiding us through the menu and figuring out what we should get. I ended up getting a chicken gyro with onion rings and my husband got tuna salad with fries. The menu is a nice mix of Greek food and New York deli fare. You've got the choice of a bottled drink or the fountain, so there are some options. The portion was huge, food was delivered to the table hot and the price was fair. The onion rings were my personal favorite and worth another visit alone. There are some video games along the wall to keep the kids entertained and the restaurant is large. The location is in a strip mall with plenty of parking so it's easy to get to. Certainly this place should be on your list of local establishments to try. read more

Staff, awesome and friendly. Food, delicious and huge portions. Split your meal! When I go I split the greek salad and a sandwich with my mom. We love the New Yorker. It is pastrami and corned beef, spicy mustard, cheese... delicious They have their home made chips which are little waffle fry chips. No need to upgrade to actual french fries. read more

This place is an oddity to me. Looking at the offerings on the menu, it checks all the boxes on potential for having a great meal. However, this place falls flat for some reason. Today, I ordered a club sandwich, a chicken parm sub and a philly steak and cheese sub. The club was decent, it lacked the amount of meat a good club sandwich should have. I really liked it came with chips and not fries, clubs should not be paired with fries imo. The chicken parm was also mediocre. Not really a whole lot of chicken on the sub, the roll wasnt toasted, the sub as a whole was very forgettable. The philly steak and cheese sub was the worst philly I ever ate. I have had better offerings from gas stations. The meat was bland, as were the grilled onions and mushrooms. The cheese wiz just added to the mess. The really need to re-think this one. I cannot say I would reccomend this place to anyone. 3 stars is a stretch, but since my club was ok and i did enjoy the chips, I will give it a 3. read more

Swung by to pick up some food while in the area based on the reviews. Called in our order and pick up was easy; the servers were both very polite and friendly. Food was still hot when I got back to the hotel; the waffle chips were delish and didn't disappoint. The gyro burger was actually gyro on top of a burger and not ground into the burger (as I've had in the past) not sure how it's listed on their menu but that was a new one for me. Everything we had was good! If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite make sure this is on your list! read more

I've lived in Newport News for 3 years now, and it took me all that time to discover this deli. I was in the mood for some pastrami, so I went with the pastrami and corned beef combo with mustard and Swiss on rye. The sandwich took about ten minutes to come, which I don't mind, because I knew it was being made to order. It wasn't the meatiest sandwich I've ever tried, but there was still just enough so that the bread wasn't the main taste. Good quality meat, and the Swiss was nicely melted. The bread had been griddled so it was crunchy all the way through. To me the best rye bread has a little crunch on the outside but still has a soft chewy inside. A lot of people love the waffle potato chips, and while I thought they were ok, I did find them a little too salty. They have Pepsi, not my preference, so I went with tea. And currently the staff is getting all beverage refills, for covid purposes. But any deli that has Jewish meats but doesn't sell Dr browns soda... it's just not the complete package. Staff was certainly friendly and accommodating. Not the best deli I've ever been to, but it is worth giving it a chance read more

My wife and I had heard so much about this place , from the moment we walked through the door I've never felt so welcomed, the food was ABSOLUTELY SECOND TO NONE. If you have a chance to stop by My wife and I HIGHLY recommend it. Super friendly staff ,great food and very relaxed environment. Heck I was so comfortable I felt like it was my restaurant. Can't say enough GREATthings about this place. County's BEST restaurant! read more

Good option to break from the big brand comercial sandwhich shops. I ordered both the Orignal Gyro and New Yorker, both LOADED with meats and quite delicious with each including homemade chips. If you want a good sandwich, that's easy on the bank and filling on the stomach, this is the place to go. For just under $15, you get a  massive hot sandwich that includes chips and a pickle. If you're in the area and like hot deli sandwiches give them a try. read more

Great place for all the kind of food I shouldn't be eating. Love the sandwiches and the cheese fries.

It has taken me some time to get to Jimmy Da Greeks's, but I'm glad I have finally arrived. In the same shopping center as The Country Grill, but at the opposite side is a place worth your time. You walk in and order at the counter, then you are called up to another counter to get your food. Drinks are also sell-service so in essence no table service, just letting you know. Now the food quality was very good and portions were generous. I tested both their "monikers" of being a deli and having Greek dishes. The Rueben sandwich was just right and my Greek egg rolls (no kidding, that is what they are called which look like egg rolls with gyro meat and cheese) were very tasty. Next time I'll try more traditional Greek dishes, but the Greek Egg Rolls certainly captured my attention! Now this place will not offer great ambiance or even easy parking (in my opinion due to being at the very end of the shopping center very close to an entrance from GW Highway), but if you like very good quality deli and Greek offerings, this is a great place to visit. read more

This is my go to deli. The food is excellent and you are provided with plenty of it. I have had sandwiches, subs and pizza. All were delicious. The subs and sandwiches come with chips that are superb. They are made in house. You can substitute french fries for a little more money. The food is prepared quickly. The waitresses are friendly and seem genuinely interested in serving the customers. read more

My husband and I had a quick lunch here, and I'll start by saying the staff is some of the friendly people around. Definitely made us feel welcomed, and answered all our questions about the menu. The portion sizes are HUGE, you could probably get away with splitting a meal, unless you love some leftovers! The salads are large, and the feta cheese on the Greek salad was very good. My husband enjoyed his sandwich but didn't eat any of the fries. They also have a Pac Man machine, which was a FAVORITE of mine when I was younger. So it was fun playing while we waited for our food. I'll be back, and might enjoy dining outdoor next visit! read more

Everything I've gotten from here has been delicious! Good spot to satisfy a quick "Greek food" craving

Excellent pizza. Home made ranch is spot on. At the end of the shopping plaza area. Jimmy and his staff are super friendly.

Great service, food and value. I can tell they care about giving the customers a good experience.

Me and the wife have had it twice so far. We have ordered it to go and sat in to eat. Both times the food was delish which is a huge plus when ordering to go because other places can be so inconsistent with quality or to go food. We get their bacon cheese fries(BOMB) they are generous with the cheese and the bacon which is nice for the price! We also get their philly cheese steak which I've found here you need to make sure you specifically tell them the philly Cheese steak, AND NOT the steak and cheese. Confusing right? But the philly comes with cheese wiz and the steak and cheese just comes with provolone. Both are good but the cheese wiz cheese steak was upper echelon lolol! So make sure you distinguish which you want. Very open, seat yourself, laid back environment. You walk up and order and walk up to get your meal when called. Staff is very friendly, clean environment, definitely recommend. We will be coming back! read more

Usually Jimmy's used to be solid so I gave them a 3 star but I haven't been in a year so I don't know if they are going down hill or just had an off experience. I got the Greek salad and asked for a side of gyro meat which cost me $18 and change plus tip - a bit pricey. I was mostly disappointed when I got to work opened my salad and discovered there were absolutely no tomatoes on my salad tomatoes are a staple they're advertised on the menu! They really balance out the flavor. The gyro meat was overly salty, the feta, olives and dressing all made for an over load of salt (and I love salt!) it actually made it difficult to eat. Very disappointing. read more

I was hunting for new spots to eat in the area and was glad to find this place! Immediately as we walked in, we were welcomed by friendly staff. When my boyfriend and I informed him that it was our first time eating there, the cashier was incredibly kind and patient as we took our time figuring out what we wanted to eat! I appreciated the visual displays of the specials that they features and while they all looked appetizing, we opted for the gyros! Wait time was minimal. Portions were huge--I left feeling very full with even leftovers to spare! Also bonus--they have all these mini arcade games, in the restaurant including 2 claw machines. While we were eating, a repairman was working on fixing one of the claw machines (luckily the other one was still working.) After we were finished eating, we wanted to try our luck to win a prize and the repairman very kindly offered to open the box and "fluff" the toys to ensure that I could win a toy. I'm not sure if he's affiliated with the restaurant at all, but it definitely established that this restaurant has good and friendly vibes all over! read more
