I went by there the other day, let me tell you bring a bag to barf in. I got the gyro sandwich and it was like cardboard, I went to complain to the manager, by the way his name is Julio, I told him my complaint and he said he could not understand me. Excuse me, when I told him in my broken spanish the complaint he looked at me like I was an idiot and shrugged me off. I asked him where were the big greeks, his reply was they are not here anymore. my reply was NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THE FOOD SUCKS Editor's note: "LTM" previously posted this comment under the screen name "Simon". -- JD (May 30, 2009)

Dude…I just went there for lunch and was totally bummed. OSFP is correct, the place is now dubbed “The Greek Place”, but they have the same menu as before. However, the cooks are no longer Greek descent…well maybe…I’m horrible at identifying ethnic backgrounds but I’m guessing Latino? I had a chicken souvlaki and it just wasn’t the same. I’m not sure what was missing maybe less seasoning and difference in the sauce? I also noticed that their humongoid baklava was different (just in appearance…didn’t order it). I guess the big thing I noticed was the pungent smell of cinnamon air spray (or something like that) in the air and the lack of jovial laughter in the background from Nick and his crew.

From a drive-by on Saturday (may 9), the sign now is The Greek Place. Don’t know what’s going, haven’t had a chance to try. :~(

Wow…I really hope that nothing has changed for the worse for this place. They were just getting off to a great start…and a great inexpensive addition to our dining out choices.

Alright, I don’t know what the fuck is going on over there, but obviously warrants another taste-testing trip.

I saw today that it’s no longer “The Big Greek Cafe” but just “Big Greek.”

Spoke with someone at the restaurant Thursday evening. He said the restaurant will reopen next Monday, May 4, after its air-conditioning issues are resolved.
