    Falafel Plate
    Amy H.

    My parents have been here a few times but this past Thursday was my first time going and it was awesome! The staff here is so nice and willing to explain what everything is and the food is super super delicious. It held up really nicely when I went to reheat it for my lunch at work later on that night. The falafel and spanakopita were still crispy. My favorite thing was probably their baklava cheesecake. It tasted like baklava, a cinnamon roll, and a cheesecake all mixed together. 100/10 experience from here.

    Can't miss the Fat Greek's bright blue lights at night on Yucaipa Blvd. Blue in Greece's flag represent vast sky and sea.. Was visiting family in this area during Christmas week and checked out this Greek eatery that also has American and Mexican food items on the menu. This place is a taste of Greece in the small suburb of Yucaipa. Decades ago, the building actually used to an A&W It is fast casual so you order at the counter. The order taker and her coworker on a Friday evening were kind and friendly. I actually don't remember if my hubby had to grab the tray at the counter or if they brought it to us. Food is fresh and tasty. Hubby got the gyro plate which were generous portions along with fries and a fountain drink. I just wanted a Greek salad easy on the onions and they did just that. Although all was well with food and service, price points are high for fast casual food. This is more like a 3.6 stars rounded up to 4.

    Wow!! I have not been here in many years. That is no joke. So I saw a picture of the falafel burger. I was instantly hooked on trying it. I have never had falafel before. I am broadening my food horizons. they say people eat with their eyes and with this I actually ate it with my mouth. Man it was good! So it all started when I walked through the door. People were friendly and helpful when ordering. So I ordered the falafel burger to eat there. Then I also ordered hummus with pita bread to go. The falafel burger came out nice and hot. Had cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, with feta, and tzatziki sauce. Altogether, I was really impressed. Especially for something I have never had before. To be honest I would order it again. I'm not a vegetarian as I do love eating meat. Let me tell you though this falafel burger was great. The place definitely looks bigger from the outside, but don't let that fool you as it's nice on the inside. Once I got home I did try the hummus with the pita bread. I got it to go for my lunch tomorrow at work. I did try a little bit and it was really good. I would also order hummus from here again. Thank you very much for a great visit. I definitely will be back.

    Traditional Gyro with the Greek Salad
    Lina R.

    Finally got to come here! And it did not disappoint! Went on a Monday evening. Great menu and they have a lot to choose from. They also have a full bar. They've got TVs and have a couple with beautiful scenes of Greece. Service was impeccable! I believe it was the owner that helped us and he was great. He had recommendations on what to order. He was also very attentive once he brought us our order to the table. Food was great!! I ordered the traditional gyro and it was delicious. Packed with meat! Great flavor. Comes with a side and went with their Greek salad. The Greek vinaigrette was amazing. I also ordered the Spanikopita. Freshly baked from the oven. Nice crunch and it was just really good. Highly recommend coming here! Will definitely be going back!

    Ribeye steak sandwich. My husband loved it
    Varinia R.

    I was in Yucaipa with my husband and some friends from church for an event and decided to stop by The Fat Greek for lunch. First, the staff is super friendly and welcoming which is always a plus. You order your food at the cash register, find a booth to sit at, and the staff will bring out the food to your table. I decided on get a ribeye steak pita sandwich. It comes with steak strips, lettuce, onion, tomato, and tzatziki sauce. I added feta for an extra charge. The ribeye was grilled to perfection! I also got a side fries to share with my husband. He decided to get a ribeye steak sandwich and said it's one of the best he's ever had. My friends got a burger with tater tots, tater tots topped with feta and garlic for their son, and a mixed veggie plate. The mixed veggie plate came with falafel, gigandes, dolmades, tabouli, hummus, rice, and pita bread. They enjoyed their food as well. I love that they carry Stubborn sodas as well. They have a small bar area with a couple of TV's showing videos of Greece and some funny/action videos. I'm so happy we stopped by this restaurant. Next time I'm in Yucaipa, I'll be back to try out more of their menu and some of their Greek desserts!

    Greek Fries
    Diego T.

    The Fat Greek If Zeus himself had a lunch spot, this would be it. From the moment I walked in, the family-oriented service hit me like a warm Mediterranean breeze. They greeted me with smiles so big I almost forgot about my RBF. I kicked off my feast with the Gyro and a Greek Salad, and let me just say, that salad wasn't just a side dish--it was a main character. The saltiness of the perfectly seasoned meat was tamed by the fresh, crisp, straight-from-Mount-Olympus veggies. Balanced perfection. Now, the Greek fries? Imagine regular fries but with a PhD in deliciousness. And the dolmades--those little wrapped leaves of mystery? I wasn't sure what sorcery was packed inside, but I'm convinced it's some combination of rice, herbs, and pure magic. The cherry on top? They grow all their own produce. Like, who even does that anymore? This place is a one-stop ticket to Greece without the awkward airport security check. Will I go back? Absolutely. I might even bring a toga next time.

    The Fat Greek is my new favorite!! I have been telling myself to go there for ages!! Finally made it!!! This place has amazing food, not just Greek, they have a variety, smash burgers, salads, chicken etc. DID YOU ALL KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A FULL BAR, WITH HAPPY HOUR??? I request the picture on their fb page. I said "I want to order this picture, lol" He brought the exact plate as pictured. It was absolutely delicious!!! DEFINITELY A HIDDEN GEM!!

    Kabob plate with lamb.
    Tami E.

    Very good greek food. This place ranks my top 5 all time best greek restaurants. I had the lamb kabob plate. The lamb had a great flavor. No lamb taste. Very fresh food. My husband had the gyro and French fries. The fries were really good. And the house made ranch was really good and I'm not a ranch person. Elba the waitress was super friendly and gave us great service. I definitely recommend and I'll be going back next time I'm passing through.

    Let me start with OMG this just took my #1 for my favorite Gyro spot. I ordered the traditional Gyro with French fries. Our lovely server; Elba recommended tring their home made ranch for our French fries and I could not be happier with this recommendation. Im not a big ranch guy but this was some really good ranch. If your in the area don't miss your chance to enjoy this place.

    Lamb Chop Plate
    Joyce J.

    The Fat Greek is a delightful find. The regular stream of customers - even between lunch and dinner - is a testimony to how good the food is. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Lamb Chop dinner. I had the chicken gyro, but it was a bit salty for my taste. Get a menu and order at the bar. There aren't too many wait staff, so we went up to the bar for different requests and questions. There are big TVs on the walls, running videos of scenery from Greece. Totally adds to the feels. It was beautiful during sunset as the sun shone through the window.

You're always welcomed so warmly and treated like a valued guest. One thing I especially love is that they serve baklava as dessert -- such a thoughtful touch that makes the whole experience feel even more special My absolute favorite dish here is the lamb with rice. The meat is unbelievably tender, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and literally melts in your mouth. Every time I tell myself I'll try something new... and every time I end up ordering it again Thank you for the amazing food, warm hospitality, and experience that keeps us coming back

My group of four were the only ones in the restaurant during a Wednesday night dinner hour, and our server was very accommodating to our needs the entire time. We sat in the booth seats which were very comfy! My order was a chicken shawarma wrap which came with hummus and house salad (you could substitute it with Greek salad as well). Personally, I felt like the shawarma bread was quite dry, but the garlic sauce and hummus helped it out. The shawarma chicken was flavorful and filling! It was still very yummy the next day. I also loved how they served us warmed up pita bread after noticing ours was cooled down. I'll keep coming to support this local spot!
