I have eaten here twice and both times my foot was great. The grilled chicken gyro was delicious. The fries with Feta cheese are also yummy.

Did not have a good feeling from the moment I walked in. From the outside it looks ok but once you walk in you notice that there is no air conditioning and the place looks kind of dingy. Looks like it is more of a to go or pick up place. We sat for lunch and the menu's they gave us were dirty. It doesn't take much to clean the menu's.
For food we ordered the greek salad that is not your greek salad. It is the americanized version in that it is served with lettuce. Normally, greek salads are only tomato, onions, cucumber, feta, oil, and vinegar. Not a big deal but label it properly. The spanikopita tasted a day or two old and you know this because the phylo was not crunchy. The lamb gyro was ok and probably the best thing we had there. The fries came out of a bag. We also tried the baklava that was on the shelf and it also tasted a day or 2 old. We could barely cut through it because it was like a rock. Across the board, this place needs some serious work.
Anyone that gives this over 2 stars cannot be trusted on yelp! Sorry Greek Spot. -

Great spot! Owner is nice, the space is clean, the food is delicious! Love it here! I ordered the falafel platter (soo good) it came with salad, hummus, rice, and pita.

My rating for The Greek Spot has gone up one star since we took a hiatus from their food for some time. The meat is not as salty as it once was and the food has gotten better. They've updated their menu, prices rose about $1 and some items have been taken off the menu. Hubbs and I have ordered from them for impromptu take out on a few occasions. We ordered delivery one time and I would not suggest that. You're probably better off just ordering over the phone and picking it up yourself. The food is wasted that way and you're ensure to get exactly what you wanted.
I tried the Bifteki one occasion, a few weeks ago, but it was a little weird. I thought it was going to be a beef patty stuffed with feta, almost like a Greek juicy Lucy but it's more of a beef hotdogs with feta inside. It looked a bit odd and the texture threw me off. I don't think I'll order that again. The next time we ordered, hubby picked up the food and I stuck with a safe Beef/Lamb Gyro Platter which comes with a choice of rice or fries and I ended up getting the rice since hubbs ordered a Chicken Gyro w/Greek Fries and I could just snag a few from him.
My platter also came with a small Greek salad and warm Pita bread. I also ordered a side of Hummus which, for the price, isn't really worth it. You could probably do well with just having some Sabra in your fridge and whipping it out whenever you odder Greek for din. To make matters worse, it's placed in one of those aluminum containers with the plastic cover and the side that you press to 'seal' but doesn't really seal anything; everything packed in the bag that was underneath the hummus ended up covered in oil from the side dish. They would probably do better by using those plastic pint containers that actually keep the food in. My only other complaint was the amount of Pita that they give with the Platter and hummus. The rounds are quite small so a whole pita isn't asuch as it sounds. It would have been nice if they gave two rounds (eight triangles) of pita instead of just the four. It's just not enough and I should be have to pay extra for more pita to complete a meal. The food has better flavour. We'll definitely eat here again but not as often as when they first opened. -

Better the second time around. I ordered late one night the food came really dry- two gyro
So went in the other day and decided to give this place another shot. The beef gyro special for 9 dollars. It came with a soda and a fries. The fries are ok, would have preferred a side salad instead but it's ok. Nonetheless I walked in during lunch time, the service was good and fast and the seating area was clean.
The food was way better and fresher. The meat wasn't tough and the lettuce didn't get soggy either so I was happy with that.
I think with this place being new they kitchen is starting to pick up so I'm looking forward to going back for a quick bite.
