The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill - Oakland Park, FL — Restaurant in Oakland Park

This was my 3rd time visiting this place. I was so excited when it first opened because I love Greek Food and this was a half mile from my house. I thought it would be a neighborhood place. It was awful. The humus - always a mark of a good greek place, was nothing more than ground chickpeas. No lemon, no garlic no tahini. The Gyro was flavorless and dried out. How is that even possible in a Greek place? But they had just opened so I thought it I'd cut them some slack while they got on their feet. The second time, a few months later, I ordered delivery. Everything was stone cold. Did I mention I was a half mile from the restaurant and I could track the delivery driver so I knew he went from the restaurant directly to my house? It took him 2 minutes, so it wasn't his fault. But still, you never know, so yesterday I went there myself, ordered and drove it home myself, in about 2 minutes. The humus had gotten better - barely, but the gyro was chock full of the most dried out meat I have ever seen. Now I know exactly what they mean when they describe meat as "shoe leather." So I did some online digging. This is not a place opened and operated by some Greek Family looking to make their American Dream a reality, as I first thought - mislead by a FB Post "Living in Oakland Park". This is a chain owned by three non-greek CEOs who I am sure, have never been to Greece, or even Astoria, Queens NY, where I lived for over 15 years and where there are more Greeks and therefore Greek Restaurants, than there are in Athens. So I know. I not even going to go into the lovely counter girl who was so non-understandable that I was too embarrassed to ask her to repeat herself for the 4th time, that I just shook my head "no" to whatever she had asked me. I think I dodged a bullet there if she was offering me something else from the menu. The place is clean but lacking in any atmosphere at all, save a few small plants on the tables. I'm not sure if they're fake. Even for a fast food place, it's a little antiseptic. I can highly recommend Ethos in Wilton Manors, or Greek Islands in Fort Lauderdale. I haven't tried It's All Greek To Me in Pompano, but I guess I'll have to, soon. I had heard that many restaurants have to close after a year. I hope this is...

Visit this location today for lunch and was not impressed with the male manager/ owner/ cashier. I order the Alvgolemono soup and the Chicken Souvlaki Entree. I had to request my salad, as he forgot it came with my Entree. The soup was a too salty for me. I returned to the counter to inform him it wasn’t to my liking, a little to unhealthy for me, with an elevated voice, he goes on to say he taste the soup every morning and it was fine to him. I stated for health concern I cannot eat this and I would prefer to exchange it for fries since they’re the same price. He in turn say he will “give me some fries”. I didn’t engage. I paid for my order so I wasn’t seeking anything for free. I leave the soup on the counter and he brings me a kid size small fries to my table. Another Latino lady return her food, he was very understanding, replace her order and thanked her for visiting. As I was packing up to leave out he walks to the back to prevent from acknowledging me! Colorism...

The person who took my order would not let me order a grilled cheese pita and was very rude about it. I have never had Mediterranean food, this was my first time ever in the restaurant and I was unaware of the menu. I was uncomfortable at how she approached the situation stating she was confused and that I was not a kid although I told her I was not comfortable trying the food on their menu and that was what I wanted. I should have left but did not due to being with coworkers and having no transportation at the time and ordered a salad. When I asked her did they have ceasar dressing she was again rude saying they were a Mediterranean restaurant and that she would put Vinegarette on the side for my salad for me to try it. After sitting waiting for my food I saw that someone else in my age group 21+ had received a kids cheese pizza. I called to speak with the manager multiple times and was not able to...
