Delicious, affordable takeout food. Our favorites are the gyro, the spanakopita, the Greek fries, and the avgolemono soup. And the moussaka! And the falafel. And the pita bread. You simply can’t go wrong. Always fresh produce.

They are at it again. Ordered a gyro on Wed when it is on sale, and it looks like it was half the size of a normal gyro. I guess I need a new Wed meal elsewhere.

Ok let me preface this by saying I moved to this area right before covid, and came from a heavy Greek neighborhood in nyc. This is my third time trying this restaurant. Twice during covid times which I wasn't upset with but it wasn't what i was expecting but it wasn't bad.My third time, I ordered delivery, first everything was included especially the extra sauce you pay for that everyone everywhere always forgets but we were off to a good start.-Tried the rice pudding, ok ok ok I like it.-Next the soup, which oh my gosh the second you pop that lid smells like a grandma has been cooking it up all day. So I was doing a little dance like even if this is bad it can't be that bad it smells so good. It looks too simple to taste this good. It's amazing, don't pass on the soup just order it like it's an extra sauce.-Moving on we got the standard pork souvlaki sandwich. I opened the lid for a very nice presentation. Tried the pork itself, not bad would have preferred it a little bit more crunchy but that's me. Was happy it was slathered in sauce so I didn't have to do anything. Took a bite of everything and was ok it was satisfying. Mine was kinda cool temp from delivery, so I heated it up and we went from ok to Okayyyyy. Way better when it's nice and warm.In conclusion I would order again def hits the spot.

We did a take out from this place. Our order included a crispy flounder with loaded fries and jasmine rice, a shrimp platter with a side of Greek roasted potatoes and salad. The plates were extremely tasty and the portion sizes were huge, be mindful when you order. Highly recommend if you are looking for Greek cuisine.

Love Big Greek but I have to say I’ve been disappointed lately with two main things: the grilled chicken is consistently being overcooked with burn marks; It’s going beyond some minor char marks that one would expect. Also, the side salads are never filled… look at this pic, it’s barely half the container…. Please improve BG, I’ve been going for the last 5 years and don’t want to stop getting meals from here

Typically, it's a very good restaurant. The interior of the restaurant smelled like a toilet, and the bathroom smelled very clean. I don't know what to make of that. Makes me a big worried.

The gyro is absolutely delicious, it is juicy and flavorful. The pita is soft and tasty! The taziki sauce is also really good.I do notice inconsistencies though for the gyro as last time they put little to no tzatziki sauce on my order and a friend ordered at the same time and theirs had the correct amount and the regular cube of feta, both of my orders only got half a cube. Due to this inconsistency I would say check your food before you leave.The fries are white tasty, the have a really nice crunch, with a textured outside. The Big Greek french fries had a bit of a weird after taste that I could not place.Parking: Always has available parking spots.

Very casual dining facility but service was great and the FOOD was delicious. I ordered grilled pork chops with potatoes and a Greek salad. It was amazing. Would definitely come here again when I’m in the area.
