Really great experience with a cuisine I don't normally deter to. Excellent service, the ambiance was okay, more cafeteria than cafe. But not in a disappointing way.

Decided to try this restaurant as we were in the mood for some good Greek food and it had good reviews. Personally, we ended up thinking it was ok. Not good, not bad. I had the gyro. The description said it was shaved off of the spit. It may have been originally, but it was definitely cooked on a griddle as the meat was dark brown on each side and pretty dry. It wasn’t freshly shaven as I was hoping. My wife got the chicken souvlaki. She said the chicken was good, but when the wrap was opened it was very soggy. We ordered some Greek fries which were soggy as well and the feta wasn’t great quality. More of a rubbery texture than nice and crumbly. Then lastly was the spicy feta dip. This was decent, but was watery on the top when we first opened it so I’m guessing it had been sitting in that container for a bit and separated.
Now we ordered this to go so I can give a little leeway with some of the sogginess, but we only live about 10 minutes from the restaurant.
So overall, this is just an ok experience for me. If things were more fresh I’m sure it would be much better. Until then I’ll be on the search for a better option.

The food here is simply AMAZING! Fresh and always delicious! I am half Greek and when Im not making food at home I always come to Freskos for authenticity and high quality! We LOVE Freskos!
Went here last week for the first time despite working in the area for years. When I say it was disappointing I mean truly disappointing. First the prices were extremely high for what you get. the gyro was so dry it tasted like it was left over & had been reheated. That’s the only way I can explain it-microwaved meat- rubbery and chewy. And the presentation and assembly was so sloppy it was embarrassing to eat, it was a total mess. I believe I got a combo so it came with fries. Now I wasn’t expecting a huge portion but I got 9 French fries in total. Nine.xNo exaggeration. The girl I worked with and I counted because it was so ridiculous- we actually shared a good laugh over this because we would venture to say Seagulls in their off season get more French fries for lunch. And finally, and my favorite part of the experience, the server at the counter seemed inconvenienced that I was there. When I asked about another item on the menu and potentially ordering larger quantities for working lunches she said “I don’t know”. I had asked because I originally thought of using them for some professional working lunches I have coming up just for the mere convenience of where they’re located in comparison to my office but I would be embarrassed serving this to clients and clearly they don’t want the business if they can’t be bothered to answer pretty basic questions

Overall great place but disappointed that my rewards points randomly reset to 0 when I spent a lot of time building them up to use.

It's a small eatery that was very clean, and offers outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the gyro.
