Eating here was the worst dinning experience that I have ever had in any restaurant ever. I went with my grandparents and one of their elderly friends who had suggested the place and wanted to treat us. We started out by ordering a few appetizers and I bit into something rancid. We instructed the waitress to take away the remainder of that appetizer tray and to bring me a clean plate so I could finish sharing the other appetizers. She asked us if we wanted to order another appetizer and we said no, that would be fine, just bring a clean plate please. She did, and we went on. Then a guy, who I assume was the manager, actually brought the remainder of the appetizer plate back to our table and demanded to know who said that the food tasted rancid. I said I did. He said he didn’t understand and that he didn’t think that I even knew what the word rancid meant. That it meant rotten. I was blown away. I was trying to be discreet because the friend had highly recommended this restaurant and was picking up the tab, and now the manager is hovering over our table with the tray in hand, telling me that that it must be the balsamic vinegar that I’m tasting, and that I don’t know rotten, slimy spinach when I just spit it out of my mouth! To make things even worse, he goes on and on to tell me I should order something else, that If I think that tastes bad, than I’m not going to like the Greek salad that I ordered as a side dish to my entrée because that’s “just the way it tastes”. And you know what, I didn’t. It was completely bland and dry. But that’s besides the fact that no body enjoyed their meals after that absurd encounter. Being there with octogenarians, I didn’t react the way I wanted to. We tried to mumble through with some awkward jokes about him coming back out to ask me if I knew the definitions of more words, but it was still embarrassing. Can you imagine what it would have been like if it was a dinner with clients or people from work? I will definitely never go there again with anyone, for any reason, and I suggest no one else does either.

BETTER GREEK FOOD AT THE MALL FOOD COURT - I have been to the former location on Broadway and the location on Swan and Ft. Lowell. The service at both was good, but the food was nothing to write home about. Although the portions were large, you can get the same food at the mall food court for far less. I was disappointed and don't understand all the hype about his place.

I'll admit I've only been to My Big Fat Greek Restaurant twice but the food was delicious both times and I'm finding it hard to not overindulge and go back (did I mention those two times were in one week?). I've had a sandwich that was literally two meals (lunch the next day), a salad that was one of the best I've ever had, and a pasta dish that was so pleasantly delicious that I want to learn to make it at home.

The ingredients are quality (just taste the olives that come with the salads! YUM), and in all honesty with a different name and in a different city they could get away with charging 3 times what they do and call it "Fine Greek Dining" because that's what it feels like when your there.

I can't recommend it enough I just moved to town and this will probably be my favorite restaurant, the one I'll always take family to when they come to visit.
