Great food, didn’t taste too different from the pitas I had in Greece. Char on the meat was nice. The cheapest souvlaki is now $12. Order at the counter and they’ll bring the food to you shortly. Staff are very nice, the decor is cute (fresh flowers on each table and the outdoor seating, plus photos of Athens and Santorini on the walls).

The meat was super tender but could use more seasoning. Didn't like the dressing on the salad but I didnt see where it listed what it was so it was a surprise it was there. Food was delicious would definitely return

A Hidden Gem Worth Visiting!
We were in town for a Water Polo Tournament and decided to take our team here for lunch — and we’re so glad we did! Despite having a large group, the staff accommodated us with no issues and made us feel incredibly welcome.
The food was absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. My husband and I ordered the gyro combo, and it was fantastic — perfectly seasoned, generous portions, and served hot.
If you're looking for a great, authentic spot with friendly service and amazing food, don’t miss out on this little gem. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! We descended on them with a sports team of 15 boys and their parents for lunch between games. They were friendly and efficient as they accommodated our group. And the food! Fresh, authentic and delicious. A nice change from the sandwich chains where we usually end up. Support this local business - you won’t be sorry!

Great Greek pitas! The lemon soup was a little salty but very tasty and the pita bread is tender and delicious!

I never give bad reviews but disappointing experience with overpriced food, small portions, and lacking flavor. It's not worth the cost.

Online ordering system is very broken - we ordered takeout food online from Souvlaki on Easter when we had family and friends visiting. The restaurant confirmed our order, put a hold on our credit card, and sent us a pickup time. We showed up at the time to pick up our food for dinner and found out the restaurant was closed - the lights were off and the door was locked. We had to scramble at the last minute to figure out a different place to get dinner, and now we have to go through the hassle of getting a refund or reporting a chargeback to our bank.
Basically you need to be aware that if you order food online here, there is no guarantee that the food is going to get made (or that the restaurant is even open).
Great food great service

First time there for lunch.
Friendly cashier. small restaurant, local, wekcoming. Pork, chicken skewed were tender.French fries were ok. Ground beef kabab was good as well. I liked that food was not too salty and spicy, so I could get the real taste of ingredients. I'll go back to try again. For my dish 27.oo without tab or drink. On pricy side.

I had a Falafel Souvlaki to go. It still tasted good after half hour in the car. I will come back to try different dishes.

The food never disappoints when we stop by. It's seriously the best!
I've even tried recreating their salad, and it's not the same.
