Magic Flavor — Restaurant in Green Cove Springs

I finally got a chance to try out Magic Flavor and was more than happy with my choice.

Upon entering, I was promptly greeted by a young lady at the front counter. I mentioned it was my first time here since they had opened, and she was happy to provide a little sampler place consisting of rice, tzatziki sauce, chicken, pork, meatballs, beef, and barbacoa. Though everything was amazing, my heart was set on trying their gyros especially since she stated the meat was cooked on a spit in the back, so I placed an order for the combo with fries and a drink. It came out to be a fair $20 including tax and tip. Most of their offerings consist of building a bowl similar to popular fast casual Mexican-American business, but the quality here is more than a step up for similar pricing and better service.

The gyro was stuffed with meat, fresh veggies, and above all: more tzatziki. I'd go as far as to say it's the best I've ever had with its consistency and flavor. The pieces of cucumber in the gyro itself helped to had texture and enhanced the flavor as well. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and paired nicely with the Heinz on the table.

Impressed with the meal itself, I opted to purchase a piece of fresh baklava afterward. It blended crispy with savory and sweet for a perfect match.

The place itself is a little quaint spot located on the edge of town, but don't let that fool you. There was plenty of space here, so seating shouldn't be a problem unless you catch a rush. For those interested, the employee said they can also handle large orders too! Green Cove should be happy to have another amazing spot that provides a different option from the norm.

Freshly prepared Mediterranean style food. Last week my wife and I stopped in for a on the go meal while traveling. I had the stuffed grape leaves,some of there Lebanese style humus, (which was amazing), I'd never tried that version of humus. Didn't think it could be made any better than traditional style. It can be. Fresh pita bread, some olives. Great meal for on the go. My wife,who's not as adventurous as I when it comes to food, ordered a hamburger and fries. She said that it was the best burger she had in quite some time. Juicy,fresh not frozen meat, freshly prepared, fresh toppings. The price was very reasonable considering the quality of the food. I can't wait to try their bowls,everything looked and smelled so tasty. The restaurant is very clean and the staff really cares about providing an amazing product. Last night,my son stopped in an purchased their rice pudding. Oh my goodness! Delicious. So delicious I sent him back this evening for two more. The business is new and I'm sure there are some issues that need to be cured as the staff "learns the ropes". I will definitely return and the will be my go to place for Mediterranean dining. I wonder if they cater? I'll have to ask net...

About a week ago, we decided to finally try this place. We went inside and were greeted with a friendly smile and a bubbly personality. We absolutely loved it. I don't remember the woman's name, but she is super sweet and offered for us to try some of their items before purchasing. After sampling, we decided to order the Mediterranean food bowls. We were able to chose our own toppings along with whatever sauces you would like. They were absolutely delicious.

Since we had such a great experience, we decided to try them again tonight for dinner. It did not disappoint. We ordered 2 Mediterranean bowls, a Gyro, a Philly Cheesesteak and a Shish Taouk (Chicken schwarma). All of it was so delicious! The Shish Taouk was soooo good! I've had my share of Mediterranean food, but this one blew all the others out of the water. My son ate the Gyro and said it was fantastic. My husband had the Philly and loved it. Sorry we don't have any pictures. We were hungry and couldn't wait to dig in lol. I highly recommend you give Magic Flavor a try. You...
