Chicken Pita with Rice Pilaf

When I came here for lunch I was skeptical but very surprised when my food was done. It was hot, fresh, and super fast! The pita bread was soft and warm, the chicken was seasoned perfectly and the tzatziki wasn't super runny like other places. The service was nice with a smile and the taste and portion size was perfect. The restaurant ambiance is like a boardwalk spot on the beach to me....clean and inviting. Very good experience...Will definitely return.

Gyro and Greek fries
Rhett B.

My in-laws are Greek and they love The Hungry Greek. Monday - Frida from 2-5pm, they have a $6.99 Special. You have a choice of a gyro and drink or salad and soup. I went with the gyro and drink and I added Greek fries. First of all, the gyro was humongous! The meat was really tender and the employees added and gave me extra sauce like I requested! My wife got the salad which came with potato salad. I had to try the potato salad and it was creamy and cold...just the way I like it! There were two things that held me back from giving The Hungry Greek a 5 rating. First of all, my sweet tea had waaaay too much lemon in it. At least it was freshly brewed and cold. Second, the Greek Fries weren't that great. It was like they gave me ten fries and threw a few sprinkles of feta cheese on it that doesn't stick for an upcharge of a dollar. Overall, I enjoyed The Hungry Greek and would love to go back and try more Gyros.

Chicken souvlaki w/Greek salad
Annie N.

Place looks relatively clean with fresh ingredients. I had chicken souvlaki with greek salad and side cup of lemon chicken soup. Service is unremarkable, ladies are friendly and welcoming. Guys seemed to not care to be there, at least the guy that brought out my food didn't seem friendly. Chicken souvlaki - 3/5 bit dry but not terrible, too charred for my liking that it has burnt taste and kinda salty. Rice seems a bit undercooked but had great garlic flavor. Tzatziki sauce 3/5 - thought it might have been straight yogurt. I like my cucumber garlic and dill but their recipe seems to be lacking Potato salad 5/5 (hiding under Greek salad but actually part of that salad) quite good, best i've had - didn't taste mayo-ee which is what I don't like. It was like an eggy garlic flavor yum Greek salad 5/5 - love it all, LOOVE the dressing, SO GOOD. I generally don't care for olives but theirs is somewhat tolerable. Avgolemono "lemon chkn & rice" Soup - 2/5 texture of dumpling (white) soup w/sharp lemon flavor. Lemon flavor needs to be cut back some or balanced out a bit

This Hungry Greek location is a welcome addition to the Zephyrhills area. The store itself is bright and airy, and the food is quick, fresh, and healthy. I've done takeout a number of times from this location, and my order has always been ready when I arrived. They've never gotten a takeout order for me wrong yet. I've also walked in to order, and the service has been outstanding. On one visit, I walked in not realizing that they were about 5 minutes away from closing. I asked if they could still do food (knowing that it's the worst thing in the world when you're closing to have to open things up again). They were great about getting me the food I wanted with a smile. The salads are great here, and the gyro meat is what you expect from their other locations. The food is fresh and well-prepared. A couple of quibbles. This location doesn't have as full a menu as other Hungry Greek locations, so it means that you have to hike to the Wesley Chapel location if you're looking for something like dolmades. Also, I'm really not a fan of their falafel. It seems like it comes from a freezer bag instead of being made in-house, and it's always super dry and not very crispy. I keep hoping it will get better, cause I'm a sucker for falafel.

Gyros with a side salad are very big. More then enough for 1 person. Side salad comes with a scoop of potato salad with Greek dressing.

5-star update for one of my favorite Tampa restaurants! Psomi is a must-go for breakfast/brunch…read moreevery time I'm in town. I most recently took my sister here for the first time while we were visiting for a concert and she loved it, too! We started with iced baklava lattes and the greek donuts (loukoumades) drizzled with honey and this was actually my first time have these here. They're served hot and fresh -- absolutely delicious! When I want something light for breakfast, my go-to is the Everything but the Bagel yogurt bowl (house cured wild caught salmon, cucumber, pickled red onion, tomato, crispy capers, & everything seasoning). It's such a fresh gorgeous bowl, packed with protein. I also love their extra thick cut bacon on the side. My sis got the strapatsada which is a breakfast classic on their menu (greek scramble with caramelized onion, roasted cherry tomato, creamy feta, & grilled baguette). It's a very generous portion and she had a good amount leftover to take home. Of course, you can't leave without a few pastries for the road! They are a bakery-first concept and all of their breads and baked goods are made in-house. We got the baklava coffee cake and brioche bread pudding muffin to-go. Psomi never disappoints!

I've heard great things about this place from the locals and after trying it, I absolutely see why!…read moreThe ambiance is lovely, with plenty of seating inside and outside. The service was also great. What I especially love about this place is how they go the extra mile to produce quality food. They bake all their things in house, don't use seed oils, everything is grass-fed, amongst other things. We ordered the bacon eggs Benedict, the Favosalata, and French toast. All were very good. I plan to come back here again!!

Kendra at Acropolis Greek Taverna is a true standout. I stopped by while delivering via Uber and…read moretold the bartender, Kendra, that I'm a big fan of the best Long Island iced tea in Tampa. After I finished my deliveries, I swung back, and she delivered !! she promised the best Long Island iced tea, and she didn't just meet expectations, she knocked it out of the park. Beyond the drink, Kendra was an outstanding host friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. For food, I ordered a burger, fries, and a cheeseburger, and they were off the chain. Everything tasted fresh and cooked to perfection, making the whole experience that much better. Kendra and this location deserve kudos. If you're in the area, swing by Acropolis Greek Taverna and ask for Kendra--she'll take good care of you.

The restaurant was clean and there's an outdoor area to smoke hookah as well. Our server was so sweet and we absolutely adored her! The food did take a while on the wait but the portions were pretty huge for the prices. We had the following: Appetizer sampler (hummus, tirosalata, tzatziki, and baba ghanouj. served with fresh pita) - 8/10 - this was so fresh and delicious! All the dips were made fresh and covered in olive oil. The pita was baked fresh and went so well with the dips! The sizes of the dips were massive and we had plenty to take back to our hotel. It took me back to Greece and it made me super happy. I love eggplant and the baba ghanouj was smokey, creamy, and so much eggplant flavor. There was a dip that I haven't tried yet called tirosalata and it's made with feta cheese and garlic and topped with oregano and olive oil. That was probably my second favorite dip next to to the baba ghanouj. It was tangy and enjoyable on the palate. The hummus and tzatziki dips were also hits and we enjoyed every single bite. We had some leftover and the sweet waitress gave us some extra fresh pita bread to take home. Castoria chicken salad - 8/10 - my friend had this and really enjoyed it. It had lettuce, jalapeno, grilled chicken, cucumber, tomato, onion, and avocado in a garlic aioli dressing topped with cheese and pita chips. She said it was one of the better salads she's had and was super fresh. the portion size was huge and she had plenty to take back to enjoy later. I tried some of her salad and I agree, it was delicious. Greek Souvalki wrap - 7/10 - my husband had this with the Greek fries and he seemed to like it. It was good, but he said he's had better ones. The pork tenderloin was tender and flavorful and he enjoyed the fries (had feta cheese on them). The fries were fried perfectly, golden brown with a satisfying crunch to them. The feta cheese crumbles on top were an excellent addition to the hot fries as it melted onto them. Overall, we would come back again if we're in the area. The prices were pretty decent for the portion sizes. The only slight complaint was that the food took a while and we were getting tired as it was getting pretty late. Nonetheless, even though it's a chain, the food was decent and good.

I liked the ambiance and had high hopes that the food would be something I would want to come back to again and again. I had the Greek gyro platter, because I love gyro meat and it's a good test dish. The tzatziki was good, they gyro pretty average and could have been a lot hotter. I was excited to see Greek peas on the menu, but they were quite bland with no discernible seasoning and could have been hotter too. My husband had a falafel sandwich. He thought the falafel itself was pretty good but felt the same way about the peas. Not sure that we feel comfortable coming back and trying the octopus and lamb chops. The high point of the meal was being offered a to go cup of Diet Coke.

First when walking in I always remember when this was a Holliday House. They have changed much regarding the atmosphere but kept the layout. The previous buffet layout is used for their Su day brunch buffet. We were sat a a table by a very pleasant young man and then meet our server Nico who was wonderful. He will explain any and all Greek food if you are confused at all. He did this several times with many new patrons arrived at other tables. Started with the Greek coffee - very good. My wife had a burger with Greek green beans but I had the Gyro platter with the lemon potatoes and Greek peas . Plenty of food and delicious . A pleasure to visit. Delicious food Fun ambiance
