    Cute setup!
    Josh G.

    The food trucks are really starting to become a scene over in the Ronkonkoma area. Ya got hot dogs and tacos and comfort foods and now you can even meet the Greeks. Well, it's actually "Meat the Greeks" as this relatively new mobile spot is emphasizing the protein in their name and giving off some pretty legit cred to wanting to meat (or really meet) them. Flashback a bit as my wife and I had noticed this food truck set up on Ronkonkoma Ave before it actually started doling out the edible goods. Honestly we weren't sure if it was really going to set up there, but one day not too many months ago, the place was lit up with a few signs and activity to show that the Greeks were here! Since then, we've taken out from them two times (one being just yesterday) and I have to say their grub is great. Now it's a food truck so the menu is not extremely extensive, but they have a nice array of classic and unique items. The classics include gyros, souvlaki, falafel, spanakopita (and tiropita), hummus and a few others, plus the unique selections in a Greek burger, Greek fries, and a couple of "Mega" versions of things which just involves a plethora of meat (check the menu). Ordering is easy as MTG has a fantastic website and uses the Toast app to place the order. And what did we order? Well perhaps my wife and I will mix it up in the future, but we basically got the same food both times we went. Our items started with the spanakopita (spinach pie) which was flaky as it should be and filled with a nice creamy, cheesy, spinach(y) interior. From there, we split a gyro (with the classic gyro meat) and one of the Greek burgers. Both times the gyro was packed with slices of that delicious beef/lamb protein along with thinly sliced tomato, onion, and tzatziki. The burger takes a regular beef patty (that is quite tasty on its own) and adds in feta, red onion, and tzatziki. It sounds simple enough, but oh does it hit the spot. The kicker of all kicks are probably the Greek fries. These bad boys honestly looked a little "meh" the first time my wife and I pulled them out of the bag, but oh man were we wrong. Topped with herbs, olive oil, a little lemon, and feta cheese these spuds are crispy, flavorful, and hard to stop eating. Definitely go for the potato. I almost forgot that we also ordered some hummus the first time around which came with warm pita and was as respectable in taste as hummus can be. Before rounding things out, I do want to bring up that "meet" part of Meat the Greeks. Both times I picked up food, the people working in that tiny food truck were extremely friendly and personable. They used my name, asked if I needed any utensils, smiled, and thanked me for coming. Even while I waited yesterday in the slightly chilly air, one of the MTG folks clicked on the two heat lamps they have posted on both sides of the truck (along with some fake plants with lights and a little Greek music from a speaker). You could tell this food truck really wants to make you feel welcomed and that is definitely helpful in wanting to come back. Overall, Meat the Greeks is a fantastic little food truck. They have a menu that keeps it simple while still having a few eclectic options that helps to make sure you're getting good quality. Plus you can't sleep on the friendliness of the workers who are probably one big family (hence the picture on the side of the food truck). You'll want to meat...or um meet these Greeks and their food truck as soon as you can.

    Service with a smile and friendly disposition every time, no matter who takes your order! Love that they play Greek music. Food is well flavored and tasty. So happy this place is so close to my house! Angel

    Needed to grab lunch to go while in the area for an appointment. The woman at the counter was so…read morenice, friendly and very accommodating as I placed the order prior to my appointment and they had it ready for about when it would be over. Now the food. The salad with falafel is huge! It could easily be 3 meals. Fresh and full of ingredients, it was super filling and really enjoyable. The falafel was perfectly made- crispy on the outside and soft inside. A bit spicy, and so fresh. The stuffed grape leaves also were amazing (I got the appetizer), again so well made and fresh. It's easy to miss this spot as it's in a strip of other businesses, but it's definitely a must-try!

    So, the food was really good... but the rest of the experience, not so much. Honestly, I was kind…read moreof turned off enough by the waitstaff that I may not return. We walked in about dinner time. All the chairs were placed upside down on every single table in the place. For somewhere that opens at 11am that day... by 5pm, it looked like it was either just opening or just closing. So, EVERY SINGLE chair flipped upside down on top of all the tables. Not a single place to sit or table to use. A guy came out and started mopping the dining room. These are all signs that a place is closing. Not a single customer in sight. As you can imagine, it was confusing. I did a double take and saw another guy at the counter. "Are you still open?" I inquired. He gave me a scowl and a brief response as if I was crazy to ask this question. I can't say if he's just one of the those people that doesn't know his facial expressions are naturally unwelcoming, or if he honestly was annoyed by our presence as customers. It was really off-putting. At no point did he smile or seem welcoming, which made it feel like they were ready to close at 5pm and we walked in. I'm sure it's not the case, but this all seemed so weird. So yeah, service sucked. Honestly, I don't know if that guy is an employee or family of owner, but my god, put him somewhere not customer facing. Other than that, the food was great. I enjoyed it all. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll be back. The food was worth coming back for, but the service was just the most unwelcoming thing I've ever seen. Also, who mops the floor in the middle of dinner hour and places all the chairs up? If there was a reason, you should probably tell the customers coming in... "OH hey, welcome! Yeah, just cleaning up the floors. It'll be a minute, but come check out the menu"... It's that easy. Get this guy some training behind the counter.

    came to pita craft because the sushi place was closed today and pita craft was next door. This was…read morea great call!! The restaurant is very clean. You order at the counter and there are a few tables to sit at. Being this is my first time, I will mention while writing this in a little annoyed because I didn't look at the menu close enough but the owner at the counter shoulder and could've took me this when ordering. I ordered the lamb gyro which was overstuffed and delicious. He asked if I wanted lettuce tomatoes and onion and I said yes (this is usually on a gyro). Quickly scanning the menu advice, I didn't see any option to make the gyro a combination with fries, so I ordered the side of fries $6.50. While sitting to eat, I was looking over the menu more and noticed that there was an option to make any sandwich an original which means..... add fries instead of lettuce tomatoes for $1. I would've gone this route if I saw that. I guess live and learn, my mistake but he should've told me of that option. Next time and I will let him know this, but I will not let it negatively affect my review. (Update) another person just came in and ordered the same so I opened my mouth to let him know about the $1 option. The owner then said that it was fried in the sandwich). I never heard of that option but at least I know, you can only order the side of fried, they should have a combo price. The Gyro is amazing!

    It's refreshing to have a good local greek place by us besides Zorba. We ordered ours online and I…read morewished they would explain what makes a sandwich supreme on their menu. It was only a $1 so I tried it and it wound up being French fries, lol. Not a huge fan in the sandwich as I like fries crispy but hey, to each its own. Their Avgolemono soup was fine but I really liked their chicken souvlaki. Very fresh. Reason for the docked star was because my wife's dish wound up being gyro meat instead of the ordered souvlaki.

    I stopped in for lunch and loved how clean and quaint the store front is…read more I ordered the chicken gyro bowl with quinoa, feta, olives and chick peas. The wait was short and the food was incredibly fresh and very well made. It was one of the better chicken gyros that I've had, it was clearly roasted and seasoned perfectly. Their tzatziki sauce is creamy and very delicious, a perfect compliment to the savory bowl that I got with my choices that were saltier (olives and feta). I love that the portion size was large enough that I had it leftover for lunch again the next day. If you're in the St. James area, I would highly suggest checking this spot out asap.

Also there are few small tables outdoor as we saw someone ate outside with a dog. The menu was quite straightforward to follow. I got a lamb and beef gyro which was about 6 inches long for $13. My wife had the chicken souvlaki platter for about $22 which she paid $3 upcharge for a gluten free pita bread. The worker inside told her that the gf pita is good and doesn't have that weird texture bite and she was correct. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the meat was definitely moist along with the pita. Nothing tasted like that sat for awhile. Customer service was fantastic and we will be back.
