Reviews for The Great Greek in Friendswood, TX

This was our first time and it did NOT dissapoint!!! It was delicous! The hummus is fresh and drizzled with the best olive oil.... Their pita was warm and paired well with the hummus. I had the Classic Greek salad large with salmon. It was amazing. Thedressing was perfect for the romaine. The portion was huge that I have leftovers. My husband had three lamb skewer. He reallyliked the rice pilaf. Their taziki is BOMB!!! I can't wait to enjoy my leftovers. Read more

Very good food. Fresh pitas and good flavors. Their 4 dip appetizer was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. You can... watch them shave your dinner off the meat on the rotisserie. A little pricey. Definitely worth a try! Read more

I was not very impressed.. The food was pretty good but nothing special.. I ordered the Greek salad wrap with a side soup and... got a salad instead. When I requested the soup I had ordered, it came out right before we had to leave and the soup didn't havemuch flavor. The olives in the wrap were pitted! I don't know who puts pitted olives into a sandwich/wrap?! My coworker askedfor No garbanzo beans and no olives in her wrap but she received both. Two other coworkers ordered the Gyro wraps and both saidall the cheese and toppings were only on one end of both of the Gyros that were ordered (the part that isn't wrapped in paper). Overall the taste of the food was good, the place was clean, and the employees were very nice as well but I personally won'treturn when there are so many other Greek options around. Read more

This was truly an experience to remember and I say this with all sincerity. My wife and I decided to eat Greek on a Sunday and... visited The Great Greek Grill. Adriana whom attended us was ao wonderful and just overall warm and approachable that our firstvisit wouldn't have been the same without her. The food. THE FOOD! Was amazing. We had the salmon salad. The falafel Gyro. TheHummus. The Steak and Rice Skewers. It was all cooked to perfection nothing overcooked meat was tender and flavourful. Woulddefinitely recommend and return! Read more

Great Gyro, fries and baklava. Very comfortable atmosphere. Food was freshly prepared and served with very little wait time.... Friendly staff. I want to go again and try some of their meals. Read more

Pro: good portions, very fresh salad, great service, somewhat healthy. Cons: gyro meat was super super salty, bread was cold and... stale, no dressing with salad, ice tea bitter. $10+ for a entree. They just opened so hopefully things will get better. I lovegood Greek food but this is just OK Greek. Read more

I just tried the Great Greek for the first time this evening, I took home a spread of different options I consider my ?must... tries? for Greek restaurants and across the board I thought the quality was fantastic and I enjoyed all of them in their ownway. The things that really blew me away were the Hummus (though I added extra EVOO at home because I?m obsessed with it) andthe Feta. Oh that feta, so crumbly and creamy, I love it when it isn?t a hard block but fresh like this instead. Anyhoo on thebig photo I shared everything we ordered, the Greek salads were an awesome appetizer, all the veggies were really fresh, thecheese (as described above) was amazing, I don?t love eating lots of onion raw so I may have picked around it a little but theolives and tomatoes had a nice texture and weren?t soggy. The falafel I bought ?a la carte? because I had enough food but hadto try some, so I ate it dipped in Hummus. At first glance I don?t love the patty shape as opposed to the ball form I?m used tobe in reality the texture was great, they were moist inside, the flavor complemented the hummus impeccably, and in reality thisIS an easier shape to eat. I was proven wrong, happy to admit it. The hummus was super creamy (only time I?ve had it thiscreamy was borrowing a family member?s vitamix blender), it was hearty, tasted real, and I love the splash of spices andchickpeas on top. As I mentioned I?m an olive oil addict so I added a dash on top, but I?d eat this with a spoon.. and I justmight! The gyro we got was the beef+Lamb, I don?t think it had an exceptionally different flavor per se but it was a solidoffering. Slightly crisp outside, definitely moist and not dried out, and wasn?t gamey. We got the gyro without tomatoes, addedolives, and opened it to spread out the feta and tzaziki since we like having a bit in every bite. It was a solid wrap, Iactually think the rest of the meal stood out more than the gyro but only because they exceeded my expectations so muc Read more

It's counter service, so after I figured out what to get, I made my order and chose a table. The restaurant is very clean, and I... love the decor (it's a classic blue and white Greek vibe). They were surprisingly busy for a new restaurant! Good for them! Nowwhat you came for, how was the food? Greek Salad - fresh ingredients, perfect amount of dressing (not too much, not toolittle), great classic flavor Chicken Gyro - This thing is huge! I was not expecting the gyro to be this big, and wow is itgood! It's packed with tender chicken and veggies and it couldn't roll up and close on itself if it tried to. It may have had alittle bit too much tsaziki sauce, but that's personal preference. Baklava - I'm a big fan of dessert - like, every meal musthave a sweet finisher to it - and this baklava was perfect! Crispy layers are all stacked up and it's not too saturated on thebottom (I hate soggy baklava). The front of house guy, Daniel, is a rockstar. He came and checked on me a few times and wasextremely genuine. He was very welcoming and wanted to make sure I loved everything I received. I can't wait to come back. Read more
