Four stars: five stars for the pizza, minus a star for the lack of service and atmosphere. At first I was put off by the front window menu advertising. It appears that they offer a full pizza menu, a full fast food Greek menu, burgers, and more. BUT THE SICILIAN PIZZA WAS YUMMY!!!! This is not a dine in place. They have a few uncomfortable booths. Not child friendly. Ask for extra sauce and get it to go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food: Best Gyros and Pizza Puff I've had in Minneapolis! I used to live in Chicago and worked near Greek Town. No shit, this stuff's legit! Service with a Smile! Ambiance: I'd do takeaway! LOL It's clean just bare minimum. read more

You can definitely find your guilty pleasure at this place! There traditional Greek gyro & Philly cheesesteak are pretty damn good, but the River grilled gyro plate I had was a bit dicey. The rice was undercooked and the dish seemed more saltier than the sandwiches. I also would say that it feels a bit sketchy when you walk in as it is located in a gas station. Furthermore, if you venture here, I would recommend one of the two sandwiches above. read more

Very rude to black customers, no customer service, they expect you to know what to order and they don't like explaining, they only have one cook so don't come Here if you have a large order read more

River Grill Pizza & Deli - a man standing at the counter - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Always get sick after i eat here, used to be a good spot, i think the cook is lazy and doesn't really pay attention to detail. Probably won't eat their food ever again. read more

I used to love a couple blocks from here roughly 10 ago when they first opened this joint and the food was great. Happened to be in the area and thought I'd pop back in and see if they'd fallen off the cliff. Exactly as I remember. Same giant portions, same quality. It's a little hidden gem off East River Rd. Had the Gyro combo. Meat was perfect, tomatoes and onions fresh, and sauce still bomb. Fries were better I remembered. Great joint. Got to know the owner a bit back when I lived over here. He's still here. Great family that runs this place. read more

River Grill Pizza & Deli - Gyro Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

So so kabobs and take-n-bake pizza. There are probably better Mediterranean options nearby so try those. The pizza crust looked like it came out of a factory, certainly not made in house. Not worth it but not the worst. read more

Stopped in for supper to go Monday evening, large menu with lots of options. I had the gyro plate with rice, SO had Philly cheesesteak Stromboli and shared a Greek salad. Portions are really large, next time we would probably opt to split one item. Service was fast and greeted immediately. Not really a space to eat in, tables looked like they should be cleaned. Would recommend they do some local delivery also read more

Overcharged us for a delivery to a nearby Brewery. When we called to place an order, we originally planned to order 2 items, but the price was higher than we expected at $36. Dropped the 2nd item and only ordered a single $16.99 pizza - with their quoted $5 delivery fee, our total should have been about $22. When they arrived, the driver didn't come inside (as all the other delivery folks did.) Our friend, who hadn't placed the call, ran out to pick it up, and was told the total was $36, and tipped the extra 4 bucks. The 2nd item we originally asked about was not included, but we were charged for it despite confirming correct total during the call. Pizza was edible but mediocre. read more

I ordered a pizza with hot peppers on it. I was very surprised when it arrived with olives, as I cannot eat olives due to an allergy. When I called and talked to them about it, they said "pick the olives off". It wasn't until I told them I was deathly allergic to olives that they brought me a replacement pizza without their hot pepper mix read more

I am not usually one to post bad reviews, but this time it is necessary. I take into consideration that mistakes happen, and I don't want a refund or free food, just to inform the restaurant that they made a mistake. twice now, I have let them know my order was not correct and I get met with, it was made right and that is it. when I order a hawaiian pizza and it comes with sausage on it instead of Canadian bacon, don't tell me that is the recipe, it was a mistake and it happens. when I order the four cheese and it has some runny weird white topping instead of ricotta, don't tell me it was made right; I order the same one every time. Again, I am not looking for my money back, just trying to make you aware of the mistake so whomever made it can make it right next time. maybe you ran out, that's fine, but don't tell me I'm lying when I'm not. my other food was great, but I will not be ordering from you again because I refuse to be called a liar when I am only trying to inform you so it doesn't happen to another customer. read more

Love their gyro burger, it's so delicious! Tons of meat for this burger. Low prices and order ready in minutes.

I had discovered this place the first night when I was staying in MN for business. I order two simple staples - Cheeseburger/Fries and Cheese Pizza. The cheeseburger/fries were delish - hot and seasoned perfect. The burger tasted like it was from a charcoal grill. As for the pizza however. It was good, however, limpy. Next time I'll try it again, but perhaps have it cooked longer. Delivery was fast as well. Overall, if you want something for delivery and not a national chain restaurant, give it a try! read more

I am not sure if this business has changed management or owners but it's completely going down hill. I've ordered gyros from here for years and they are getting skimpier with the portions. I even ordered $3 extra meat on my sandwich and they still put the regular small amount of meat. I guess I will have to research a new gyro place because they just lost a long time customer. read more

The chicken pizza we ordered was good; no burned places on the crust or undercooked areas. We got it at the right temperature and it tasted good. Cheesecake was good as well, even though the selection was limited. Bottom line: I would get this pizza from them again. read more

First time ordering from here tonight through the SLICE app. The pizza was Delicious!!! We will definitely order from here again!!

I ordered at 9:30pm and got the pizza in my hotel room at 9:50pm!!! The crust is very close to Papa Johns. I had pepperoni, onion, green pepper, olives and cheese. The taste was excellent (whatever Italian spice they use is very tasty) and arrived piping hot...still steaming. read more

Ordered the chicken shish kabob plate and chicken gyro sandwich. The sandwich was ok, could have used less sauce and the chicken was kind of chewy. The chicken shish kabob plate was amazing. The char flavor really takes this to the next level read more

Delicious! Their River Grill pizza was the bomb!! Also feta spinach calzone was so tasty. Everything was hot & ready when I picked it up. Friendly staff. A good find! read more

The worst place , dirty place and dirty food don't eat at this place u will get sick , bad people work there , really bad customer service I will send hygienic service for this place read more

OMG!!! Do you like Gyros? Because this is the best place to get a gyro. There is so much meat you will need a fork to get through half of it before you can pick it up! Not that I'm complaining as it tastes so good you won't want to miss any of it. For under $10 you get this massive gyro, fries and a soda. I've yet to take someone there without hearing on the ride home how good it was. No really go here, you won't regret it! (I couldn't stop myself and had to eat a little before photographing... it's too good!) read more

River Grill Pizza & Deli - a half eaten sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I ordered a 12 piece of falafel, the gyro sandwich and a portion of baklava for delivery today via Grub Hub at 1:30 PM. I was told that my food wasn't expected to arrive until 2:40 to 2:50 which is longer than I expected, but given that there is a bit of distance between me and the restaurant and it was snowing, I shrugged it off. That's totally fair. The roads aren't great and figured they were adjusting the time for that. My food didn't arrive until 3:30. It was still very mildly warm, which was nice I guess. Better than the I had hoped for at that point. And again, it was snowing and the roads probably weren't great. I was ready to forgive and forget, eat my lunch and move on. Then I opened the container to the falafel. They were burnt to hell and back. If you don't believe me, please marvel at the accompanying picture. There was a 15 dollar minimum delivery fee, so I had added on the gyro and the baklava to hike up the price of my order. I didn't even particularly want them and was going to offer them to my roommate. Because I was hungry and a falafel craving was the only reason I had ordered in the first place, I took a bite. I wish I hadn't. If being cooked until they were nearly black wasn't enough, it was one of the driest things I've ever put in my mouth. Gritty, dry and the only flavor to be found was burnt. They promptly went into the trash. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 is because the gyro was fine. Nothing to write home about but at least it was edible. After all the rave reviews, I'm hoping this was just a fluke or at the very least everything else they serve is a lot better. read more

River Grill Pizza & Deli - Still waiting... - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

They were rude and hung up on me, delivery took for ever and oddly,ordering falafels I for the first time at any deli, didn't get tzatziki sauce... But the baklava is huge cheap and very good And the falafels are tasty almost don't need any sauce May try them again another time perhaps in person read more

The food here is pretty spot on. This place is a sweet family run joint. They are all pretty friendly. Only once they forgot the cheese on my fries.... but hey maybe the guy was doing me a favor. The wings are quite big but what you really want to get is the gyro. Man up, and get the lamb... you wont be disappointed. read more

I recently discovered this place while looking for delivery options to the office. So far in 2 orders the coworkers and I have tried the gyros, the Philly cheesesteak, the Greek salad, the cheese curds, and the baklava. All of it has been delicious with the gyros and the Philly cheesesteak receiving rave reviews and being the obvious standouts to date. Also of note, the fries that come with the combo baskets are amazing! Even "to go" in a styrofoam container they are crispy and have a yummy light seasoning on them. Delivery time is a little longer than your usual 30 minutes for pizza or subs, but soooo worth the wait. Coworkers who didn't order with us have asked to be notified the next time we order because of the delicious smells and the moans of pleasure as we were chowing on this yummy food. We will definitely be ordering again and plan on giving their catering services a try for our next luncheon. read more

Generous three stars probably More like 2.5. We ordered the plate for two. There was a ton of food but all of the meat was dry and over cooked. Lots of rice. Cucumber sauce was ok. Probably won't go back. read more

It is really cool that this place has the option of gyros or even burgers depending on your mood. Plus the food is cooked to order which means it is fresh. Remember the meal plate is extra hearty so bring your appetite. Also it seems even though this place is in a hidden spot within a strip mall the food is worthwhile. read more

River Grill Pizza & Deli - a view of a river - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Just had a gyro and it was amazing! I will definitely go back! Friendly people, good service, good portions, and fair price.

A great hole in the wall place! Owner is friendly. The inside is fairly nice with 3 booths and 2 round tables. My buddy brought me here a while back and I've been coming back often ever since. The food is phenomenal! Falafels, shish kabobs, and especially the gyros! I usually get the 17 combo plate. I recommend it for any who are coming here for their 1st time. Fine place to eat in or to get take out! I don't live in the area but I know they also cater and deliver! read more

River Grill Pizza & Deli - I met this homeless guy digging in dumpsters out back. Always here. Has a pet rat. The food here is the best. Dank af - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Horrible customer service Long wait. I ordered at 5:30 7 they never showed. Called the same rude guy answered said they didn't charge me and hung up in my face. I will never go to this place again. Sad because they have ok food and they are only 5 blocks from me. But never again after how I was treated. read more

I go in and order the usual number 23 - the same combo. There are two new faces working behind the counter. I insists to put in the order. But I did anyway and the result is total regretting . The food taste different and very different. Did they change the owner or something happen. I would recommend this place anymore. read more

Talk about a greasy spoon... the Philly cheesesteak is one of the best things I've EVER had. The bread is soft, meat is greasy and tasty. Covered in cheese and mushrooms. Staff was very helpful. They deliver too! Which was great on a hangover. Yep. That's right. Might be the best hangover food in the history of the world. In my book, this is one of the best hole in the wall spots around. read more

Ordered at 2:30, they said "be there within an hour". Call at 4 pm with no delivery yet "roads are bad and we're busy", so I ask "but they're on the way?", "no, they'll be out of the oven in 20-25 minutes". Horrible. I'll never order again. read more

Best gyros in town!! #1 combo. They do come with a lot of onions, if you don't like onions ask for it on the side or without. I can never finish the entire gyro, there is so much meat I always save the extras for the next day. That being said, I usually order another side of cucumber sauce to eat with my left overs. Very small dining area, I would suggest take out or delivery. read more

It's best to opt for pick up or eat in because Delivery is below mediocre. Soggy fries and undercooked cold food. A friendly reminder to always quality check your food before you leave the restaurant if you choose to do pick up... make sure the order is correct and cooked. read more
