Love el grecos! Always a family favorite anytime visiting from out of town! It's one of those places that you can't find anywhere else!
Tender meat. Soft pita. Home made onion rings.
Great food I'm glad they reopen they been there a long time
They are quick to sit you down when it isn't too busy and they did a really great job on each pedicure I've had.
Went here for the first time & had their mushrooms & garlic Parmesan fries. The food had no flavor & was hella greasy! Like the fries were literally swimming in oil. The mushrooms had a very hard crust & likewise had no flavor. What a waste of money! Hopefully the rest of the menu doesn't taste as horrible. There was also some foreign matter swimming in the bottom of the drink. I went to use the toilet & it would not flush. There was a woman waiting outside the door who works there to apparently flush it for me. But in no time she was back out & inside the food preparation area. I wonder if she washed her hands?? Would not go back here.
Great Gyros, and wonderful staff and atmosphere
Love this place. The sauce is great and the portions are very filling. We either get the super gyro or greasy cheesy. Our local favorite I have to admit.
Food is always great. We were in a bit of a rush to get to a swim meet for the kids and of course this is the time they forget to cook our fried mushrooms. Its a mistake and could happen to anyone but inconvenient for us that day.
The employees are awesome. They treat everyone who walks in like family. Great service
Love their gyros! Great food.. Clean restaurant! Always visit while in town!

Food is much better than the restaurant looks. Worth the stop.
I'm so sad that I have to say this. I have been here all my life and my parents are I are die hard El Greco lovers. However, after old man died nothing has ever been the same. Not bad, but not the same. The mushrooms started changing, the taste of the Gyro meat wasn't of quality and the baklava now taste like cardboard. After this 2nd “new ownership†recently, it has went from okay at best to absolutely terrible. I spent last night throwing up because the mushrooms are so bad. They tasted like they had been set out for 3 days and then retried and given to us. I am disgusted. This is now the 5th time in a row with terrible mushrooms and tasteless gyros and we will not be going back ever again. This breaks my heart to say and I know ol man would be turning in his grave if he knew how his loved El Greco has went to crap.
very good food, but they don't serve beer
Great gyros, and their fried mushrooms are to die for! The spanipikata is great, too.
Please stop cutting the meat from the big chunk of meat on the spit and storing it in a plastic tray. The fresh cut meat is what MAKES the gyro. My sandwich tonight tasted like I ordered it last night, stored it the fridge and then warmed it up for dinner tonight. Poor decisions being made by your employees. And tried calling to give you the advice and nobody picked up after about 15 rings, at 7:45. Really want you guys to make it, I am glad to pay the extra tax in Carbondale if the product is of high quality. Best of luck, stop pre-cutting the MEAT! Shrooms are still great!
