After you traverse the alleyways of historic St Augustine, you are transported to your yiayia's house and greeted warmly by the staff. The Feta Saganaki appetizer is one of the coolest dishes that I have ever had. The Polish kielbasa plate is out of this world- the sausage has that perfect crunch and char, the mountain of sauerkraut is delicious, and the platter comes with your choice of 4 pierogis- our server recommended that we try one of each flavor. Potato was the favorite. The gyro is epic & huge, so we ended up nibbling on one half and taking the other half to-go. The wine selection is eclectic and intriguing. The pastry case will tempt you with the Basque burnt cheesecake, and it will win. You should let it win. We are so glad that we found this hidden gem, and this will be a return spot for our future trips!

Tucked just off the main street, this small, locally owned restaurant offers incredible food and a charming atmosphere. I ordered the Kielbasa with Pierogies and the Bogus Stew, and everything was completely on point. The pierogies were served with traditional bacon, onions, and house-made sauerkraut that was braised with fantastic seasoning. The menu at this restaurant is a combination of Polish staples and your standard Greek foods. It's a very interesting menu. We didn't have room for dessert, but they are all homemade and looked delicious--we will definitely save room for them next tim

Breakfast is available all day, and there are lunch specials that are fairly priced. I frequently order the salmon salad with the orange ginger sauce on the side. It was only $12.99, and it had a generous piece of fish , grilled to perfection. The Greek dishes are perfect too. The Chryssaidis family, owns the Athena Restaurant also, but it's in the city center, and it always tough to find parking. The diner is away from the hubbub. It won't disappoint.

Susan and I visited The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill expecting a traditional sit down restaurant…read moreand instead discovered a counter service spot that completely won us over. From the moment we walked in, the space felt clean, bright, and welcoming, with a simple Mediterranean style that made it comfortable to dine in. There was a steady stream of customers coming and going, both dining in and picking up takeout, which immediately told us this place has built a loyal following. The food is where The Great Greek really shines. We started with the four dip combo, and honestly, that alone is worth the visit. The hummus was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor without being heavy. The tirokafteri had a bold kick that built just enough heat to keep things interesting. Paired with plenty of warm, soft pita, it is an easy dish to share and one we would happily order every time. For our main dishes, I ordered the gyro, which I often use as a benchmark when trying a Greek restaurant. The meat was flavorful, the pita was fresh, and the tzatziki sauce really stood out, tying everything together beautifully. The feta fries were another highlight and were hard to stop eating. Susan ordered the Atlantic salmon, and it ended up being the biggest surprise of the meal. It was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and paired with sides that complemented the fish rather than overpowering it. Portion sizes are generous, pricing feels very fair for the quality and amount of food, and service was friendly and efficient throughout our visit. Even though this is a counter service restaurant, staff brought the food to the table and checked in to make sure everything was just right. We even left with leftovers and dessert to enjoy later, which is always a good sign. What we thought would be a quick meal turned into a really enjoyable dining experience. This is a restaurant we will absolutely be returning to and one we are happy to recommend to anyone looking for great Greek food done well.

The place is nice inside, welcoming and selling some cool things alongside the food items. We both had a platter, one with falafels and the other with the marinaded chicken.

It was jasmine rice and very tasty. We will have more items in future visits. Also, the platters came with a cup of their lentil soup, which for us was slightly different as it must have been made with tomatoes. Stop here and give them a try. You will love it!

The service was wonderful and cannot deny the hospitality of the owners and the servers. With all that being said I rely heavily on the food quality, taste and portions to determine my rating. The bread was delicious with the side of herb butter. The soup was very underwhelming with a light lemon taste but the rice and chicken was something that I expected more. I'm Filipino and reminded me of a Filipino lugaw. (A cheap food). The grape leaves were ok, but not to my taste. Felt like the filling could be more flavorful. The salad was delicious with very fresh flavors. The octopus was cooked to perfection. Nothing to complain about. With my entree, the lamb souvlaki was underwhelming at a price of $28.99. I would expect more than 6 pieces of lamb. The chicken dish reminded me of a Chicken Francese but with rice. Overall, a good experience but not a great one.

The standout dishes for me were the grilled octopus, the fresh Greek salad, the warm bread with herbed butter, and especially the chicken riganati, which was packed with lemony flavor. Unfortunately, the dolmades and avgolemono soup fell a bit flat for my taste. My husband ordered the lamb souvlaki and it appeared the rice was more a filler with not even a handful of meat for the price. My main critique is that the portion sizes felt a little small for the price. Overall, though, the charming ambiance, friendly service, and decent dishes.

Our server was very efficient and proactive, we didn't have to ask for a thing!! We started with the dolmathes (grape leaves), they were incredible and perfectly cooked. Grape leaves are tricky bc if you don't boil them enough they are rigid and break but if you over boil then they crumble and are too soft. These, incredible! The lemon sauce was absolutely divine, a strong lemon taste but so so good!! I chose the chicken souvlaki, which were grilled to perfect without any charr. The rice was tasty and reminded me of my Yiayia's and the Greek green beans were packed with flavor. My friends chose the gyro, gyro salad, pastitso, and mousakka. Everyone loved their dishes!!

It was a little bit of a drive away, near the beach, and there was absolutely no parking on a Friday night. My husband dropped me off and circled while I placed a few to go orders. It was a cute little shop with donuts, shakes, and ice cream. The donuts are not traditional donuts; more like deep fried donut holes that are covered with all kinds of yummy toppings. They're also served nice and hot and in 10 packs. They had lots of cool donut flavors like: Dark Delight, Maple Bacon, , White Tella, and Love U Matcha, The prices range from $8.75 to $9.50 per box. They all sounded yummy; but we decided on Twix Fix, drizzled with caramel, melted chocolate, and cookies, and Lotus Crunch, which was topped with melted Biscoff cookies. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes and the bag of donuts was nice and warm. We ate them when we got back home. They were more chewy and heavier than regular donut holes, but rich and delicious. You could really only eat a few; so a box of 10 is a decent sized dessert for 2 people to share. Lukumades is definitely a very unique donut experience and worth supporting because they're not a huge chain. You'll be glad you tried them....and its worth the drive.
