The falafel pita was tasty with lots of fresh veggies and the falafel itself had a nice amount of parsley and were well-cooked. My kid also liked his pork gyro. We will return.

We ordered food to be delivered. The food arrived cold and the gyro was greasy. The dinner plate I ordered, the meat was dry and the food was cold. Considering what was charged for the food, it was overpriced and not good enough. This will be the last time we order from the fat Greek.

People are very nice and the vegetables are always fresh but the meat is extremely hit or miss. Usually the chicken is pretty dry but this last go it was full of skin and fat and chewy pieces and I had to toss it. I wish they had a better way to figure out how to serve meat because all my friends have stopped going here as a result. I hope they figure it out and the restaurant makes it! Great folks and awesome menu.

Fat Greek Arlington was so good at the beginning that I was raving about it to all my friends, but it's already declined, which makes me sad. I loved their chunky, juicy chicken souvlaki, but it's been re-conceived as scrawny, overcooked, dried out chicken bits on a stick, on half the rice there used to be. Huge mistake cheapening that recipe, what were they thinking? Another thing is they get minor aspects of take-out orders wrong about 75% of the time. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating. It's so predictable my wife and I crack up every time we get the bag home: especially missing tzatziki or salad dressing, but also extra breads, yellow fat sauce we never order, the wrong salad, missing side veggies, and on and on. We almost always order the same thing, and what we get is different each time. It's a running joke for us, but it also sucks when you're in the middle of your meal and there's no tzatziki because somebody misread your order. We now open the stapled bag at the restaurant to try to figure out the oversights before we leave, but that too is annoying. Hopefully things get tightened up, and we'll give Fat Greek a few more chances, but otherwise, we're shifting to the competition (Greek, Turkish, Lebanese) nearby. If things improve before then, we'll happily report it back here. We really miss the original Fat Greek.

I went here with a friend shortly after they opened (a year ago?) and we thought it was adequate and had hopes for them once they got settled in and worked out the infancy kinks.
Went back for lunch today and regretted it. The falafel was mushy, the Greek fries were limp, here in the middle of tomato season the salad had tasteless and pithy tomatoes in it, the lamb kebab was tough and mostly gristle, spanikopeta was inedible, ...
Worst $65 lunch for two ever. Won't be returning here.
The high point was the toilet, which was clean so two stars for atmosphere.

Ordered a lamb gyro — bread was dry, burnt, and stale (not even proper pita, more like bad homemade flatbread). The lamb was extremely dry, the fries inside were stale and greasy, and the side fries were overly salty and greasy. Most of it went straight into the trash. Very disappointing.

The food is always delicious, but they always forget something in my takeout orders. I get their Greek salad and they forget the dressing. It is so frustrating. Overall, pretty solid food, but the attention to detail for takeout is really bad.

Get takeout from here regularly. Gryo's, plates and fries are all great, especially when covered with their fat sauce. The baklava is pretty good too.
Delicious food! Such a cute place, lighting and decorations are perfect. Lots of menu options: vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, etc (and clearly labeled!). Loved it and the employees were very accommodating and helpful!

Found this place accidentally just driving down the road and I am glad that I stopped in. This was one of the best tasting gyros I have had in a while and I love a good gyro! I got the fat gyro and it was great to have a bit of heat (spice) to a gyro for once. I also love the inclusion of fried in a gyro give it a little something extra. Next time I am in the area I would like to give some of their other menu items a try like the salads, platters, or even some of the desserts. Give it a try for a quick grab to go.

I don’t know who could possibly call the little bitty tiny pieces and char-broiled lamb jerky a Gyro, but this place does. The extra Taziki couldn’t even soften this charcoal style meat. What happened to slices from the drum? You won’t get them here. This was an test order since Greek Corner was closed. This mistake will never be replicated. I’ll order McDonalds or Pizza Hut instead for $40, instead of this charred dehydrated dead meat on a pita for $80. Their Taziki was nice, everything else, terrible. Only non Greeks would repeat a buy here because they just don’t know any better.

Closest I've come to tasting authentic Greek food compared to actually being in Greece is here. The food is phenomenal. I'm all about eating quality foods and let me tell you, this is nothing short of top-tier quality. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to keep coming back!
