This place was cute and clean inside and looked like a Taverna you'd find in Greece. However they seem more focused on their bar guests then food. Service was polite but not very friendly or welcoming. They have soup on the menu but when I asked about what their soup of the day was they said there was no soup. We ordered dinners that came with potatoes, rice and salad. Portions were good but everything was a bit bland and boring. The pork souvlaki was just chunks of pork with barely any seasoning and very tough. There is no love in the food and it shows. Makes me sad for people to experience this Greek food as someone who is Greek. This place could have potential but there is just no soul and they set the bar at the bare minimum.
Saw a friend come back with food from here, looked and smelt great. Went with my friend and grabbed some to go boxes (chicken souvlaki & gyro). Hot fresh and super yummy and affordable! Old man is quiet and cute. Definitely give this place a chance!!!
Awful service!!
Would NEVER go back here!
The server had no interest in serving us, and she was constantly just rolling her eyes. Any time we asked her for anything.
I literally saw her give out a deep sigh when i asked to pay cash instead of debit
Everything is over priced for what they are serving
Ordered via Skip the Dishes. This was the Calamari I recieved for $18.95. Half of them were too tough to chew through. Was hands down the worst Calamari I've ever had.
Lamb pita sandwich was okay. "Greek Fries" were bland. Neither came with any tzatziki sauce or feta cheese. There's much better Greek restaurants in town, I won't order here again.

This was absolutely gross and distasteful.... like I mean anything but a good experience.... and all I am left feeling is hungry, extremely pissed off and cheated out of the money I spent.
11.95 tax not included for feta fries...
Fries were stale, unseasoned and tasted like they had been re-fried from earlier on in the evening, and an offensive light sprinkle of feta cheese.
Most of the wrap was unedible. My pita was sauggy, there was barely any tzazitki sauce, the lettuce was wilted and mushy, the over loaded chicken tasted stale, tough, and old... the onions tasted off and the tomatoes were cut rather large and the texture was soft.
Absolutely gross.
Top that off I had ordered an order of chicken tenders and fries with a side of ranch, the owner confirmed I could get a side of ranch for the tenders and when I had gotten home i opened the bag to see I didnt recieve them.
Annoyed... I called immediately and couldnt make out too much of what I was being told but it was something along the lines of I wasnt charged for the tenders but I also wasnt told they wouldnt be included with my order since I thought everything was good when confirmed my order when I had put the order in originally.
I know I wasnt charged for the tenders but its the lack of communication and very poor service and food quality.
Wouldn't reccommend.

Was just in town and was excited to take my Greek girl to a Greek place and try out the gyros but we were both very disappointed. The place could’ve been a lot better but the crowd there ruins the vibe. They all just sit at the bar getting drunk and being loud and just staring at you while you’re eating. It’s a weird crowd. It also shouldn’t have taken so long to make our food just for it to be undercooked.

I have yet to try the food, but I have no doubt that it will be just as good as the service and atmosphere. :)

Chicken was stale and overcooked.
Both the Spanakopita and chicken were missing the "Zest" that is generally in Greek foods. Would not recommend.

Amazing food. You can actually taste the fact that it's homemade. The service could had been better and the decor is extremely outdated but if you're anything like us and put the food over the place this this is certainly one place to visit for sure. This prices are definitely a bit steep but but quality again is what's more important so I don't mind spending for good food.

Paid $21.47 for this. I'm so annoyed, I ordered the chicken souvlaki with no rice and extra salad and this is what I got. The potatoes were beyond over cooked that I threw them out. Never been here before and I'll never return. I had a craving for Greek and this was the closest to me but I'm very disappointed. And to top it off, my chicken wasn't cooked all the way through!!!!!
Chicken souvlaki was fantastic very juicy chicken . Lentil soup with lemon so good so was the Greek salad and baklava . Don’t let people at the bar deter your dinner. Very clean restaurant otherwise
Vegetarian options: Don’t eat the meat .. kindly ask server and you will have a veggie carb fest for yourself
Parking: It is in the back of restaurant.. you will see the sign

The Greek Garden Restaurant was exactly what our taste buds were craving!I wanted coffee and saw Greek Coffee. Never had it before, so I asked the server if it was strong. He said yes. I wanted something mild, and he said he would make it that way.The Greek Coffee came in a very small cup. My first inclination told me it was going to be something I've never tasted before with possible coffee jitters afterwards. It was so delicious and so full of incredible flavors that I knew this was not a gulping drink. I sipped it through my meal.The food soon came and was delicious. Not only did it satisfy my cravings, but I never got the coffee jitters either.I recommend The Greek Garden Restaurant for great service, good food, and excellent Greek Coffee.
