The food is delicious. The gryo plate is something you want to try because it's a lot of flavor and the salad is fresh and very refreshing. The rice pilaf is soft and also delicious. It blends well with the gyro. Love the plate combo. My favorite is this combo. It's affordable and a good treat for your dinner.

I was being given the dry kebab crust. I asked for a replacement. They said it’s my fault. I asked again saying that would be very nice of them.They said I had to pay. They def need to get better at customer service!

The ground lamb slices and falafel were a little drier compared to the more juicy kabob chicken or beef, so that moves it down a star for me. Yet the portions were good amount for the price, with real dishes and ware (even though they obvs have a takeout business too) and the flavor largely of an appealing homemade quality. Service was also friendly and cheerful. Several good choices in sides: I love dipping fries in the hummus and then coating in parsley-minty tabbouleh. And for the gyro plate to also include grilled marinated kabob veggies was a real treat. This is some of our most favorite food when we travel. Plus there are a few unexpected dishes on the menu like the sauce-drenched cracker bread beyti kebabs--though we were hoping they'd also be serving fried kibbeh 'Lebanese empanadas'. Thanks to Kabob Republic for hitting the sweet spot for a day at the beach!

Amazing cauliflower wrap and the chicken wrap was equally as delicious. I will most definitely be going back very very soon. Super YUMMY !

I ordered on the website for pickup last night because I was craving chicken kabobs. Kabob Republic did not disappoint! The food was ready right as I walked in and I took it home to eat it and I am still so happy about it. The chicken was juicy! I ordered the hummus and rice and I also really liked it. It came with pita bread and I liked that as well. I know where to go to get great Chicken Kabobs!

This place hit the spot at night. I discoverd it by accident when I was doing food delivery on the weekends. I noticed their blue neon sign and stopped by because I was hungry. They open until 2:00 AM! I orderd the beef gyro and it was very good, it just needed hot sauce. It's definetly a place for late night eats. I was impressed and im very picky when it comes to mediteranean and middle eastern food. Definetly on my list of spots to stop by when in town. Try it. The people on the counter are very friendly.

Definitely recommend the filet mignon wrap, rice and hummus. Food was fresh and very tasty.

Amazing Lebanese food! So fresh and tasty! I grew up on Middle Eastern food and this is the quality of food my sithy (grandma) would make for me. I will be back to try everything else! Get a combo! Great deal because you get a protein, two sides, veggies and yummy bread!! P.s. Quick service too!!

Delicious !!! Love that they are open late. The Greek salad with lamb gyro is incredible , also nice to eat healthy later at night ! The garlic fries are also a must.

Sad. My favorite restaurant has gone down the tubes. It's 50% more expensive and portions are cut by 1/3 to 1/2. I use to love this place and turned so many people on to it. Chicken kabob today was so dry ( and small). Sides were still good. And now for dine in they don't even serve you anymore; you have to come back to the counter and pick up your meal

I can’t begin to state how much this place surprised me. I was definitely pleased with the knowledge of the staff and how friendly everyone was. The cook even came over to talk about a dish. Then the plates arrived, first things first, a bowl? Really? More like a boat!!! Flavors were right on point, beautiful combination of taste and colors on each plate. The only thing I felt needed some love was the hummus, although flavorful and a huge serving, something just wasn’t there for me. Absolutely love this place, BEST rice I have ever tasted.

Fantastic dining experience! Excellent customer service, delicious food beautifully presented. There was a group of about eight of us that went for lunch, and everyone raved about the food, the Ambiance, the service, and all happy. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Ordered the number 27. Filet Mignon and the number 23. Lamb gyros. The filet mignon just MELTED in my mouth! The mushroom sidekick was phenomenal with the warm pita bread! The lamb gyros was so delicious and the rice pilaf was perfect. Also the veggies they serve with the plate are so yummy! I wish I had more! This is a place I would definitely recommend and would not mind driving to (I live 40 mins away) and the staff was so friendly!
