For dinner I had the Gumbo and my girlfriend had the salad with shrimp, crab, and crawfish. The gumbo was seasoned excellently and tasted just how I make it at home in like 7 hours. My girlfriend's salad was amazing with the homemade ranch. We came in late and the service was still top notch. Finished off with banana pudding and my girlfriend said it was the best she's ever had. We were just in town for the weekend but to anyone looking for a place, do it!

It's 32 oz and seems high for little more than a cup of sugar water also if you get bread with your meal don't get the corn bread. As a true southern boy I know good cornbread and they don't have any. For my plate which consisted of beef tips mash potatoes and peas, large drink it was right at $18. The portions are large so maybe it's not such a bad price, and if you drink water it's not bad at all.

The staff were friendly when taking my order and the food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the Mediterranean salad with grilled vegetables and added a side of hummus and pita. The vegetables were well seasoned and fresh, and the hummus was really smooth and flavorful. The pita bread was warm, which made it great for dipping. Overall the meal felt lighter compared to some other restaurant meals but was still filling. From a public health perspective, I think options like this are important because they give people alternatives that are more plant based. Mediterranean cuisine tends to focus on vegetables, olive oil, and legumes, which are often considered part of a healthier dietary pattern. I appreciated that Taziki's offers vegetarian options that still feel like a full meal instead of just a small side dish. Overall, it was a good experience and I would order this again if I wanted something lighter and fresh.

Food- I ordered the pulled pork sandwich sauce on side, and onion rings. The pork was rather dry and plain in flavor. The barbecue sauce lacked viscosity and tasted like warm ketchup and vinegar. The onion rings were bland , and saturated with grease; but did come with a sauce that complimented them. Price- considering that onions are a cheap vegetable and pork is less than $2.00 per pound wholesale. I cannot justify almost $16.00 for this lunch. Breakdown a pound of onion rings cost $1.00 6-8 ounces of pork maybe $1.00 Bread .50. No mystery here why folks are tired of overpriced food in 2026. It is not inflation. It is the overhead that a business owner must absorb.
