“We have been dining at Patty's for about 6 years.Well love the food. It has a homemade flavor that we appreciate.We have our favorite items such as the Carne Asada burrito served with rice and beans and the 1/2 lb Sirloin burger topped with sauteed onions and mushrooms, served with perfectly streamed veggies and mashed potatoes. It also comes with either salad or soup. Salads are good and I definitely recommend their Lemony chicken and rice soup. Also included is your choice of bread.The wait staff is always friendly and attentive.Patty's has a diner feel.“

“Food still great! Bunch of specials. Food is like home made! Restroom has been out of service for years , just a heads up!

Update: 6/8/22
Still amazing food. My favorite is just the traditional cheeseburger meal! Anything you get from this place is a new unfamiliar taste in your watery mouth. I love this place. I moved to north county. When I'm down in San Diego La Mesa. I have to stop by and support the little family kitchen! Thank you Elsa's Kitchen for always making me fresh food! Oh and the chicken sandwhich is a classic!

If you are a la mesa native. This is a must spot. The food is extremely fresh , from scratch. It's not like other food places , that make you feel crazy full or bloated. The price and specials they have make it worth every penny. There main is "greek" but honestly everything on the menu is great! Especially the burgers and crispy chicken sandwich! Nice little hidden spot. Very homey feeling. If you are hungry at got the time definitively a cool little joint!“

“The restaurant is very pleasant even though full. The food came out fresh and hot. Tristan made the experience with the new menu very easy and was able to answer all of our question. He made good suggestion, the apple walnut salad was delicious, and was very attentive.“

“one of my favorite place. the food is so incredible. it's a must if your in Hillcrest. I've never been disappointed.“

“Food was good. However, the cashiers were busy cleaning up for the night vs taking care of customers. It wasn’t late, either. It was around 7:30 or 7:45 on a Sunday. The cleaners they use are very strong. Very pinesol or something like that. Glad I got food to go because I wouldn’t want to have smelled the cleaners during dinner. Dining room had zero vibe.“

“Hey I just want to say the Luna grill down in Carmel valley was amazing and I want to give a special thank you to Athena for helping me out with my order she was polite and made sure i got everything I needed I recommend anyone that loves Mediterranean food check out this location 2 thumbs up will be back“

“The best damn salad I’ve ever had…. Whatever is on the plain lettuce salad with feta — a lemon dressing? — is not tart but just divine. The falafel bowl was amazing; tender falafel. Looking for dessert? Get the baklava, pass on the loukouwhstevers.“

“I stopped in this joint for dinner on the way to a mates place while travelling in the US. Absolute ripper feed, great staff and a rocking little place. The food was bang on, the staff were friendly and bubbly. Will definitely recommend to me mates. Bloody good stuff.“

“I love this place, for more than the food. The employees at the registers are always great food is solid and a hit every time. But on occation i have been blessed to be eating when the owner is on site. And whitinesed how kind he was to a few un housed individuals and restored my faith a little in humanity. He had no reason to as we all know too well, however he understood that it takes 3 seconds to be kind to someone. And that has made me a lifetime customer and any time our crew is in el cajon this is where we spend our money!“

“Best fast food ever! This place serves great Greek fast food. We got the platter and everything was so yummy. The 1/4 chicken was dry though but everything else better than expected from what the inside of the restaurant looks like (McDonald type).“

“Best chicken Kabobs, the beef Kabobs were good too, the salad is one of favorites!!“

“Delicious food and super friendly service! Love this place“

“The workers are always so kind and ready to greet you with a smile. The restaurant is always clean and has a welcoming feeling as soon as u enter. The dishes are always clean in the mornings, not like other restaurants where you see dirty spots on the cups. It's just amazing service especially on Sundays the busy days. Props to everyone working there. The owner really knows how to manage a restaurant. I will recommend many friends and family to eat here knowing they'll leave satisfied. The young looking guy that's always wearing an apron on Sundays and sweeping, working nonstop is always saying hi to everyone and very kind. He looks like a hardworker.

Vegetarian options: They have plenty of yummy vegetarian options. Just let them know what your craving and they will accommodate.

Parking: They have plenty of parking. And extra parking.

Kid-friendliness: The workers are always very sweet and patient with the kids. My daughter loves going to give them hugs.“

“This place is great! I’ll admit the ordering process seemed to have a bit of a hiccup but the food was exactly as ordered and amazingly delicious. We each had a gyro plate with rice and salad to go and it was delicious! Love that they served all the sauce and dressing on the side. I can’t wait to go back and try the shawarma and lentil soup!“

“everything on the menu and friendly“

“Don't order online for pick up at the University Ave location! It'll send your order to the Chula Vista location! I'm not saying it wasn't worth the drive but...I won't do that again lol. Great food as always ❤️“

“I have been going to Gyros House for years, and have never had a bad experience. It's my go-to for gyros, and (in my opinion) the best option in the Parkway Plaza food court.

The food is reasonably priced and amazing quality. The gyro meat is perfectly seasoned, hot, and tender. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The pita is soft, warm, and flavorful. The sauces are perfect. The portions are big and very much worth the cost. The french fries are crispy and light, always hot and perfectly salted.

The customer service is incredible. The man who always makes my gyros always has a smile on his face and puts a smile on mine. Same with the woman who sometimes works the register. They are kind and helpful.

Very lovely people, very good food, great prices. Much better than the chain gyro places around.“

“Co-worker and I go out for lunch every other week. He remembered this place from when he worked down the street from it. So we went here as he remembered it to be good.

Good amount of parking. We walked in and the place itself is dated. The place could use an update. But most people I saw were there for a quick lunch. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The food was priced well. There has been some price increases since some of the other pictures that others have posted with prices. But over all still a good bang for your buck, compared to what you get at other places near by.

For the food I got the gyro with fries. It was packed with meat and the fries were hot and crispy. I forgot what my friend had, I believe a sandwich but he also had fries. We enjoyed our food very much and will be going back soon.“

“Took my wife to Al Finejan a few times. Always enjoyed the food and Daniel the owner is friendly and knowledgeable. Went there tonight and it was closed. Called their phone and the number was changed to an unknown number. Sad to think that this fine restaurant may have closed down.“

“This small pizzeria is just getting under way. In addition to pizza, they also offer calzones, sandwiches, pastas, wings, salads, and gyros sandwiches and plates. I had the latter in the form of a sandwich on a pita for $9.99 plus tax a la carte.The gyro sandwich was good. I liked the gyro meat. It had good crispy edges, was tender, and tasted good. I would have liked a little more meat. The pita bread was good, too. It was soft and warm. The sandwich came with plenty of lettuce and tomatoes and some red onions which I liked.The gyro sandwich definitely needed more tzatziki sauce. I suggest that they offer a small container of sauce on the side or, at the very least, add a nice drizzle on top.Service was friendly enough. The pizzeria offers some inside seating.“

“Delicious, fresh and very authentic Greek! Highly recommend to go check it out!“

“this is my place... I've never had a bad experience. Clean establishment... fresh...and made to order Mediterranean cuisine. I recommend the chicken schwarma...the fries are a must... and the strawberry apple walnut Salad is my favorite also. way to go Tak Grill.“

“Great food free parking excellent location nice staff“

“This Place is a hidden gem. Walking home and saw the recently opened "THE KABOB GRILL". I went in for an exquisite dinner. I had the chicken kabob- with my discount it was less than $15 for a full plate or rice, salad, yogurt and a pita. The plate comes with a grilled tomato and I requested some of their hot sauce. You should too! There is a big parking lot across the street and I was told they offer free valet.“

“They outdid themselves with my meal. The portion was 10/10, the food was 10/10. It was flavorful, fresh and even colorful. There was so much variety in the ingredients, I’m really sitting here completely satisfied and impressed. It was even still hot when it arrived and that’s so rare for food delivery. I’ll definitely be ordering again. Thank you!“

“Fantastic food and large portion sizes won me over. You leave your seat hurting from being so full trying to finish your plate! Great service and they actually smile at you when you order. We'll be going back for sure.“

“I have become a huge fan of Greek Chicken. A little pricey, but well worth the price. I stop on my way home from work . #7 with the rice and pita bread!! Oh so delicious!! The portions are generous. Plus you earn points accumulate 50 pints you get $5.00 off!! Which doesn't seem like much, but considering the nutritional value of the Greek Chicken compared to fast food places your getting good tasting healthy food. Plus points towards your discount.I HIGH RECOMMEND THE TASTE, QUANTITY and value of the Greek Chicken. Convenient locations. (1) just off the 67 frwyat Bradley. (2).Wintergarden st Lakeside. Clean, easy access . Drive through, or dine in ...Plenty of parking.“

“The BEST vegan Mexican food I’ve had in Diego! There are SO many options for vegans and non- vegans alike. The vegan Birria tacos and carne asada fries were amazing. So happy to have found this gem downtown. I will be going back… often! The service is quick and friendly and it’s a great place to people watch on the patio.“
