The Big Greek Cafe Catering handled our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration last week-end and it was perfect! Highly recommend the food, service, ease of making the arrangements.

Went two weeks in a row.....same day, about same time, same meal (chicken bowl)0 First visit was great, a bit of a wait but it was because the chicken being freshly cooked/grilled.

Second visit was a disapppointment. First off they seem to not have any air conditioning in the place. It was super warm, and almost objectively hot.....no way anyone can enjoy a meal in that space. The wait was significantly shorter and I figured out why......the previously cooked chicken was microwaved to warm up and discretely put in my bowl (I saw the guy bring it to the lady and then saw her cover the bowl to hand over......and the grill was clean and not being used). One bite and sure enough chicken was reheated.

I understand the place closes at 9pm and staff want to go home as quickly as possible. I placed my order at 8:10pm so not a last minute order. If they want to be closed and out the door at 9pm then they should stop taking orders at 8pm or 8:30pm so they can start cleaning up......and customers don't receive microwaved/reheated food. I wonder what the status is of the fryer at 8pm......would fries be reheated too?

Also.....use less red cabbage in your bowls....yes it is a cheap filler but more lettuce would be nicer.

Fix the air conditioning and please throw out the microwave. Don't sell reheated chicken.

I love their spanakopita - always tasty and prepared quickly. The staff has been consistently friendly. Vibe is very straightforward deli but the food makes it worth it.

I love eating here — the portions are generous, the food is tasty, and the prices are great. The dining area — while bright and clean — isn’t super welcoming though. The air conditioning isn’t really keeping up, and the last few times I’ve been there, more than half the fountain soft drinks are out. I’ve switched to being more of a takeout diner, and it’s still a great value.

First time trying this chain.
Wasn’t disappointed.
Got a massive portion gyro bowl w/ a drink.
It wasn’t cheap but comparatively not bad because of the portion size.

The guy that took the order was patient while I briefly browsed the menu too.

Will def try another menu option in future.

I was served raw fish. They corrected the order but made sure that the next piece was fried to a crisp. Yeah, no thanks! Service and atmosphere was great.

Good food and great portions! Their gyro bowl was amazing and was probably enough for 1.5 meals. The pita wraps were also very filling and perfect for lunch.

It’s not fancy but if want good food, reasonable prices, and quick service then this is the place. There’s free parking right behind the restaurant, the atmosphere is casual but comfortable, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. While there’s not a wide selection, there are enough choices you shouldn’t have a problem figuring out what to eat. And for the price, there’s a ton of food. I find it hard to finish everything. I’ve grown to really liking the Niko fries, which have great flavor and I love how crispy the fries are. My wife enjoys the grilled chicken Greek salad, although she can’t finish it.

Good food in healthy portions. It’s in a good place where there’s traffic flow and offer (limited) free parking. It’s very clean inside, casual layout, and welcoming and friendly staff. It’s relatively new so I tried a different item than its predecessor offered and found it really good. I had the Niko’s fries, which had crispy fries layered with meat, feta, herbs, and a house sauce. Very good, and filling. My wife had the fish sandwich with fries, which she absolutely loved.
