    " Please Be Patient Our Food Is Cooked To Order"
    Mark G.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Philly Gyro
    Michael P.

    5/5 Stars: Unforgettable Experience & Huge Flavor in Yucaipa! I stumbled upon The Fat Greek while passing through the city of Yucaipa and I'm so glad I did! This place is easily a five-star experience from start to finish. The delicious food is only matched by the fantastic, personal service. The owner actually took my order and recommended some items, which immediately made me feel welcome. I decided on the Philly Gyro and the Fried Zucchini, and both were amazing. The gyro was massive--huge and absolutely packed with delicious, heavily seasoned meat. Seriously satisfying! The zucchini were fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy, and you have to try the homemade ranch with them; it was also very good. To top it all off, the owner personally met me at the window to thank me for coming. You can genuinely tell how passionate he is about his business. I stopped by on a Saturday night and they even had live music playing outside. It seems like a super fun place to hang out and have a drink. If you are anywhere near the area and want high-quality Greek food, I highly recommend stopping by!

However, when she noticed that this Panera was closer, she decided to try out their drive-through. They were always friendly and efficient even though her coffee order is a bit complicated (large iced coffee with extra half and half and "four pink sugars"). She frequents throughout the day with different orders (Bubly, hazelnut coffee, black iced coffee, diet sodas...pretty much everything). Even if there is a small issue with her order, they are quick to correct it. One day while she picked up complicated coffee order, Lance, one of the dedicated workers, decided to talk with her. He remembered her every time she came through the drive though. She never returned to Redlands since. Overtime, she met different staff members including Ander, Leah, David, Gio, Jo, Ben, Meadow, Michael (manager), Penny, Jocie, and Misty who are all very kind. They make her mornings, afternoon, and evenings keeping her caffeinated during her day. There some days when the kids crave a cookie or sweet treat and we dine in. They always have a clean, inviting atmosphere allowing us to enjoy our treats. My wife has been to different Panera Breads within the area as a Panera Sip Club member.
