I often times catch myself at Zet’s when I am in a rush and need something that can power me through the day, enough cannot be said about how quick, persistent and enjoyable this place is.
Zet’s Restaurant is a culinary beacon amid the clamor of its airport-adjacent locale, a place where the relentless pace of a bustling dining room is met with an almost preternatural calm and competence. From the moment you enter, the staff’s command of the environment is striking. The atmosphere hums with the energy of a diverse clientele—travelers, locals, and workers alike—yet the service flows with a precision that belies the chaos. Orders are taken with swift efficiency, dishes dispatched from the kitchen at a tempo that keeps wait times admirably brief, even when every table is claimed and the line stretches toward the door. It’s a testament to a well-oiled operation, one that thrives under pressure without ever letting the guest feel its weight. The chicken dinner, a signature offering, is a triumph of simplicity elevated by execution. The chicken souvlaki arrives glistening, its exterior kissed by the grill to a golden char that promises succulence within—and delivers it in spades. Each skewer yields tender, juicy morsels, seasoned with a deft hand that balances herbaceous brightness with a subtle smokiness. Accompanying it are roasted potatoes, crisp-edged yet fluffy, and a Greek salad vibrant with feta and a dressing that sings of lemon and olive oil. The portion is generous—enough to sate even the heartiest appetite—yet it never feels excessive, a mark of thoughtful composition. Paired with a warm pita and a dollop of tzatziki so creamy it could stand alone, this dish is a masterclass in comfort food that respects its roots while satisfying modern cravings. What sets Zet’s apart, however, is not just the food but the experience woven around it. The staff exude a professionalism that feels genuine rather than performative, greeting regulars by name and newcomers with equal warmth. On my latest visit, a server deftly navigated a packed house to ensure my water glass never emptied, all while managing a dozen other tasks with a smile. This level of customer service—attentive yet unobtrusive—is the kind that lingers in memory, compelling me to return time and again. The environment, too, plays its part: unpretentious yet welcoming, with a diner-like charm that invites you to settle in, even as the bustle of the outside world presses close. I find myself praising Zet’s to anyone who’ll listen—friends, colleagues, even strangers in passing conversation—and the response is invariably the same: glowing affirmations of their own experiences. It’s rare to encounter a place so universally lauded, where the consensus is one of unalloyed positivity. For me, it’s the synergy of great food, stellar service, and an atmosphere that turns a busy dining room into a haven that keeps me coming back. Zet’s doesn’t just feed you; it reminds you why dining out can be a joy, and that alone is worth...
Read moreUPDATE: So I want to update the review having now come here at least 6 times. I'm reducing my rating to 3 stars but really it should be 3.5 if Google allowed it. I have a few complaints. Firstly the Salad Dressing here is so peppery it is almost inedible. I don't know why it tastes so different from the Airport Location which has excellent dressing. The Coleslaw here at this location is actually disgusting. The Airport Location coleslaw is so much better even though that location also struggles with coleslaw consistency. For the most part meat is fairly consistent with the Airport Location. But things here are just a little off of what it is like at the Airport Location. But alas, the same lower quality ingredients issue that the Airport Location has since the beginning of the pandemic is also here too.
Given the choice, I would go to the Airport Location over this location. ORIGINAL: It's Zet's but in Woodbridge now!
Effectively the same menu except for some small changes. There is no breakfast at this location. This location does have Lamb though, which the Airport location doesn't.
Food quality wise everything is the same as the Airport location, which is great! If you have been to the Airport location you know what you are getting here.
Otherwise it's great Greek food. Chicken and Pork Souvlaki are excellent. The Zet's burger is humongous and is great. You can't go wrong with anything that you would order from here.
Overall Zet's is highly...
Read moreThis review is not so much about the food but the behavior of the owner and the staff serving the food behind the counter but especially the owner. after dealing with her today i see where they get their attitude from. The problem started because i forgot to tell them to leave the damn feta cheese off my salad. Dear God i committed a crime. I just asked them to remove the feta and give me salad without it. i have never encountered staff and owner so rude. telling me its my problem i didn't say anything. i can remove my own salad and they're not gonna give me more salad its my problem i didn't tell them when i paid. i kept saying i forgot but the owner was practically yelling and telling me she is not gonna lose money to replace salad. I have been here few times but today is the last time. She has lost five customers not to mention i will tell my friends and family so they don't go there again. All over a damn salad??? one of the staff brought me a plate of salad after all this arguing but unfortunately it didn't matter the damage is done. I have worked in service and retail industry and no matter what the customer is always right (even if they are wrong) you try to make them happy at the end of the day. not destroyed it over a plate of damn salad. congratulations Ms. owner your are officially the worst owner I have ever met in my life time. There was zero verbal abuse on my part I actually asked very nicely. Yes my husband got upset but he never used bad words either. So ur a bad...
