This was my all time favorite gyro place, when it was My Big Fat Greek Gyro. Their gyros were my absolute favorite. Now they have remodeled and revamped the restaurant into a fast casual Greek restaurant(think a Greek version of Chipotle), called The Simple Greek. Most is the same, they have some indoor seats, and a fabulous little courtyard next to a great trail. The food is mostly the same, although the gyro feels MUCH smaller than it used to be. The Greek fries are great with feta and spices on them, but as for the fries themselves, the old fries were better. Their Greek salad is still good. And the bowl option is nice, but the chicken on our bowl was a little cold and dry. The meat isn’t quite as tasty as before, not sure why, but it seems a little less flavorful. We used to eat there all the time, getting gyros, gyro platters, fries and Greek salad. It wasn’t cheap, but the value was there. Their gyro platter was able to feed me and at least one child, with a deconstructed gyro, salad and fries. Now to feed our family, the cost is too high and the value isn’t there. If we are going to grab fast casual, and pay a little more for lunch, we will be grabbing Chipotle. Sadly, The Simple Greek isn’t for us anymore.

Amazing customer service and a great Greek lunch shack! I love their options of tzatziki… the Greek fries, and their classic gyro! I’m impressed with how crowded it gets for a hidden away lunch shack!

Very disappointed with the grape leaves. Stuffed with bland watery rice, no flavor. The greek bowls were very good, food is fresh with a generous portion. Greek fries are good as well.

Greek done fast casual style(think Chipotle) Food: decent, not great. Portion: good. Snotty teenage girl serving? Acted like I was imposing on her to make my salad. Won’t return. If I’m gonna get so-so food with lousy attitude why bother?

This was called«My Big Fat Greek Gyro». It’s still under the same ownership, just a different name. There are a few improvements over the older establishment so we’ll start with what’s good. The remodel is great. The place looks cleaner. It’s really nice. The menu is basically the same. I’ve noticed they added whole wheat pita. Nice. Unfortunately the attention to detail with the food is exactly the same. The owner needs to go to Pita Land, sit down and eat a gyro there then try one of their own. The gyros are ok at The Simple Greek, not great, just ok. I like it when the meat isn’t already roasted. I like it when they have to turn it on and roast it then carve it fresh. The new fresh cut fries are a nice addition too but these were terrible. They looked golden brown sort of but they ended up being undercooked soggy and greasy. They were the biggest disappointment yesterday. I used to order a greek salad with chicken but the chicken was always overcooked and dry as was the gyro. They still have hotel pans of dried out and getting drier meats waiting for you to walk in to order your salad. I don’t know if they’re still misguidedly putting cheese in their dressings but I don’t think I’ll be back to find out. I went back to see if it was a new owner, new place. Oh well.

Very good gyros and fries. The place used to be called My Big Fat Greek Gyro. The food was hot and fresh. With the summer months i hope they purchase local produce. Nothing better than fresh tomatoes.

Formerly it was My Big Fat Greek Gyro, that’s when it was worth going. Now they changed the name and are trying to expand and commercialize. The portions are cut way back. There is less meat on the gyros and the fries are half the size. One plus is that they are fresh cut fries now. The food is still good, but you are getting less. By trying to expand, a good business is being destroyed.
