    Gyro
    Kyle C.

    I know this place is fast casual but the entire staff ignored me, there were four of them behind the counter. I had to flap my arms and basically yell to get them to acknowledge me. I placed an order online and paid ahead of time or I would have walked out. The food was not ready when I arrived. They didn't start making my order until I asked about it. People who walked in had their orders before me! Jokes on me for ordering ahead and tipping. The food sucks, the meat in the gyro tasted like deli ham. The portions are tiny. The service is absolutely bottom tier. Take it from me and the legion of yelpers who have had 1 star experiences these past few months and avoid at all costs.

    Traditional Gyro Bowl- meat really is that good at all

    Food- got the gyro bowl. Don't recommend. Meat is questionable & not really good. Also got the falafel- it was decent. Better than gyro meat for sure Staff- there was a lady & man working there. The women absolutely hated her job. She was rude & on the phone the whole time. I hate leaving reviews on workers but it was just a horrible experience. I literally will never go back. The man working there was pleasant. Overall I would pass. Try La Tartine on Gay st It's a little further but it's amazing & the owner works the kitchen is so unbelievably nice. Definitely worth the drive.

    (4.7out of 5.0) THE SIMPLE GREEK* It's just that simple Greek food the way we like it! Served in a fast-casual style, Simple Greek offers speciality Gyros and Bowls and/or a create your own option. One thing that I particularly appreciated was how they did not compromise their authentic Mediterranean flavors even though they are fast service facility. This is one of my pet peeves with fast casual service but this was not the case with Simple Greek. Another good sign that I wasn't the only one who felt this way was the large number of to-go orders stacked on the shelves. Clearly this is the sport to order from on a Saturday night in! I definitely will be a new regular here!

    Just tried here tonight and our dinner was amazing Even my children who are picky eaters loved it! Everything is so fresh and tastes amazing. Authentic gyro meat in both lamb and chicken. I loved the Avgolemono soup!!!

    Very clean and fast! Wonderful Greek food - build your own bowl or pita. The young lady that helped me went through everything very thoroughly and guided me through popular items and her faves. The set up reminded me of a Chipotle where you can build your meal to your liking. The lemon chicken and potatoes were wonderful! I will be back!

    Update (August 2022): Ok, so the trick is to not order online; order in person to make sure you get the right order.

The kind person working there let me have it for free as I had no other way to pay. It was really hot, I had over-exerted, and I clearly needed it. Kind people, solid food. I'll be back!

    if i am being honest 3.5 stars would be better…read more now let's start with the good part. the gyro is delicious! I went out of my way to come here for lunch after i saw a facebook post from the cheese steak adventures's guy pop up! it was from a while ago but i figured if he liked it... why not? the pita is really good. chewy. warm and moist. i got the classic (more to come) which is basically a gyro with the fixin's. lamb and fries tzsatiki. perfect. now let's move on to the staff and the restaurant overall. there are so many things wrong. the website will not let you honor several of the lunch specials. if you click on certain links they're no good. dont try to use them, since you will get to the restaurant and they will charge you for whatever the order would have been. i mean i want to save two bucks like everyone else. next, i'm going to agree with the many other reviews... why in the world can you NOT get sauce on the side if you pay for it? do they not have any lil cups?! i looked around this place is pretty cut and dry. i know it sounds like BS but i think they dont have those lil tiny cups. ...then there is the staff. i want so badly for them to hire the 'local lady who answers the phone'. they need it in the worst way. the guy who picks up is as fun as paint drying. it's a huge turn off for folks who know the food is good but the staff is not. will i be back... ?you damn right. but i am going to avoid a bunch of things from the jump: i'm only ordering online, if there is an upsell for sides and they do not have them i will just ask for my money back. they use toast for their ordering system and they will honor refunds if need be, and park around back. they have 2 spaces, the staff is using them too! i really hope things turn around in this location. they are not in philly anymore. it's the 'burbs baby!

    Service - Quick and timely. They were so nice and seated us right away on a busy Saturday morning…read more Food: Caramel Iced Coffee - Lacking flavor. Since it is hot coffee poured over ice, you get a very watered down drink. I would stick with a flavored hot coffee. Boston Cream French Toast - Creamy. From the Bavarian cream to the whipped cream topping, it was very wet for the meal. I would ask for the whipped cream on the side so it doesn't melt into the hot french toast. Side of Sausage - Great cook. These were links, not patties. The casing on the link gave the sausage a nice snap. It was served piping hot and very well charred on the outside. On to my next food adventure....

    It's been over a year since I was last in the area. I was hungry for a solid diner breakfast and…read moreheaded straight here. Walked in and it felt like I was just here yesterday. The massive dessert case greeted me, brimming with colorful delicious-looking pastries, cakes, and pies. I was seated promptly and handed menus which included their specials of the day; everything from lasagna to moussaka to stuffed peppers to barbecue ribs. My waitress, Dee, came over to ask for my drink and went away with my order. She appeared again quickly with my coffee, which was hot, and honestly - better than the standard cup of coffee in most places. Mmmm As I waited for my order I couldn't help but notice how happy their patrons are. It's 1:30pm on a weekday so I see a lot of people who look like retirees, along with a smattering younger diners and some folks in work uniforms. A couple was leaving and stopped to have a friendly conversation with one of the people who worked there. It's obvious they've known each other for a while, regulars. A table over starting singing "Happy Birthday" to their friend. The 70's and 80's songs were enjoyable without curbing conversation. My food came out faster than expected and was piping hot. Toast options are white, wheat, or rye. I requested it dry as I don't want it slathered with margarine or something unidentifiable. It came dry but they included two mini containers of real butter with it. Heaven! Dee came over and checked on me in a bit, offered me more coffee. More yum. Mmmm. Total cost for a Florentine omelette (spinach and feta cheese), a whole lot of home fried potatoes, two slices of toasted bread with real butter and jelly, coffee, and a comfortable friendly atmosphere: $14.45. I couldn't finish it and took about 1/3 of the plate home for later. I have no idea why they're not between 4-5 stars for a diner. Food is solid, coffee is fresh and hot, service is quick and friendly. I think they're worth every penny.
