Food was dry and obviously microwaved. I need 46 for characters to post this so here they are

I was looking for something a bit healthier on Rivers Ave and came across Peno after a Google search. It was completely dead when we went on a Wednesday late afternoon. I went with the Casado bowl as my meal and a side of falafel. Unfortunately the drink machine was not working so they only had cans for drinks. The bowl honestly looked better than it tasted. The gyro meat was good, but the rice and beans had no flavor which was disappointing. I did however like the falafel. If I went here again, I would probably get a gyro over the bowl.

Tried the Greek Gyro Bowl with Lamb, Chickpea Salad, and stuffed Grape Leaves. Everything was delicious!

No real appeal inside, but the food was so fresh and delicious.

We love the food but the previous 3 times we went they never have any light green sauce. Then today we get two meals and are only allowed one sauce? I get no more than one per meal but one per order??? Crazy. Why have the sauce as a part of your menu if it isn't ever there or each meal can't have one?

10 out 10 don’t recommend. The onions on my gyro were mostly brown & it had an odd bitter taste. The full size Greek salad is a joke it’s $8 for what is considered a side salad at best & no dressing. No lids for containers, no napkins overall terrible experience. Personally I’ll never be back.

Really good food. Service was a little slow but worth it. I wanted something healthy and that's what I got.

Really tasty food. I came with a coworker for lunch yesterday. The food was fresh and the staff was helpful answering our questions. I had classic sandwich with the ginger hummus on the side. Definitely recommend this spot!

I try to hit up this place for lunch every time I'm working up in North Chuck! Peno is my favorite "fast casual," order at a counter, chain in the game. All entrees are cooked to order and the side dishes are super fresh. They have a variety of different spins on salad as well as a good selection of different hummus. My typical go-to meal: Greek Gyro Platter consisting of large chunks of lamb, served with a warm pita, house hummus, and tomato avocado salad. This trip i switched it up and was still extremely happy! Clean interior and friendly staff. It is a little pricey, but if I could afford it, I would eat here every day. With that being said, I will still be a returning customer for life.

The atmosphere was cool, very nice vibe. The food was good and the service was friendly. Only issue was that their system doesn't show customer info on the tickets for online orders. That meant they couldn't call to tell me they were out of a menu item (lamb), so we got a substitute we wouldn't have chosen. The staff handled it well and was very apologetic, but they need to address that issue with their ordering system. I will absolutely go again, but will call to verify my order.
1/13/22 - Found Peno on Google (good reviews) while in North Charleston area and like Mediterranean food so decided to try it. Here are the good things: (1) pita bread was nice and light and (2) service was excellent. Please understand - it is not great Mediterranean food unless you have the meats (chicken, beef, and lamb) roasting on spits. Here are some suggestions: (1) you need a chicken shawarma platter, (2) I could not tell the difference between the beef and lamb, and (3) the Greek salad needed fresher ingredients, especially the olives. It was okay - but not a place I'd go back.

I really enjoy the food here but they are open inconsistent hours. On a weekday at 3pm they were not open. Just stopped in at 630pm and there employees inside, but the door is locked.Do better at communicating store hours. At least put a sign on the door.

Penos is a gem. Flavorful, healthy options, clean, friendly and do I say real food that is reasonable priced? So good i will be back again and again! I had the gyro bowl with real meat. The bowl was filled with a variety of lettuce , yogurt and crumbled feta. So good!

2nd time trying unfortunately I believe the price is a bit high for what I consider less than mediocre quality food. That is just my personal opinion. I gave it a try but don't see myself going back. I have been to much better Mediterranean spots.
