Grecian Pizzeria is my family's go to restaurant for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Everything we order is always fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly, helpful and always greet us with a smile. Frank is an amazing owner and does so much to help out his community. We were just there for breakfast today and they have the best cinnamon rolls in town!!!
I had the mushroom ravioli and my partner had the Greek lasagna. My partner said the beef tasted a day old and was extremely greasy. My mushroom ravioli was also extremely greasy and flavorless. When I see a menu of that size I immediately think "quantity, not quality" and was proven right. This place feels like a boring family restaurant out of the 80's. Really dated, both in food and styling. This place definitely reminds me of places my parents took me to 30 years ago. I half expected to see a smoking section.
Efficient service, excellent food, and even a talented musician to serenade us. Couldn't ask for better!! We were there for brunch, and the Greek French toast was phenomenal, as were the raspberry mimosas. We have never been disappointed by Grecian!!!
Have eaten here before but not since pandemic. Not sure that has anything to do with the disappointing food now. We ordered take out. Sandwiches were so-so. Onion rings disgusting. And what a sad little tiramisu! Unrecognizable. Won’t be back.
Stopped by this spot after a long hike with a friend. We were a little later than the normal lunch crowd, so I think the staff were busy cleaning up. We stood at the door for a few minutes before we were noticed and seated.After that, though, everything went smoothly. They do have a novel of a menu, but once I saw spanikopita and moussaka, I was done looking. I very rarely get these, so I was hoping they were as delicious other places I've had them.Our spanikopita (and the fried cheese my friend ordered) arrived quickly and piping hot. The spanikopita was so amazingly delicious. Flaky on the outside and gooey on the inside. Just the right amount of feta and spices.The fried cheese was excellent and not the frozen sticks you dread getting when you're looking for top notch fried goodness haha. They were delicious triangles with a parmesan bread crumb crust.Both dishes came with a bowl of tomato sauce (marinara) that was quite tasty. It actually also came with my moussaka.When my moussaka came, that spiced smell hit me and brought me back to memories of the Greek festivals I've been to over the years. While it was a little fattier than I remember, that fat added a great silkiness to the dish I hadn't had before. The flavor was spot on for me. I loved it, and I'll love it again soon!We're both reusable takeaway container people, and we both took home 2+ meals. Portions were huge.With my meal and appetizer and tip, I spent about $35, but it's going to be 3 meals for me (I took home the equivalent of 2 bowls of marinara, which I'll use to make a pasta dish this week for me and my partner). That's absolutely reasonably priced to me. My moussaka also supposedly came with a trip to the salad bar, but it was already so much food that I didn't even go over there.Oh, and they have a bakery, but we were so full that we didn't peruse it. Next time!
We had a team of 2 serving us and they were great. No issues with service or food. Server and trainee were both great with menu knowledge and questions. We'll have to try trivia night sometime. My wife said the hummingbird cake was awesome ? ?
We really enjoyed our experience at this restaurant, especially considering we arrived within 45 minutes of their closing time. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the food was made fresh to order and looked and tasted fantastic. I've read some of the reviews about the pizza, and it's important to remember this is Greek pizza not Italian pizza meaning that it is equally good just a little bit different. The prices are great for the portions, and we definitely need to come back earlier in the day, not so close to closing time, especially to try their breakfast!
We went today for lunch. I had a gyro and salad bar. My wife had a gyro and salad bar too. My kids had a kids meal one of which was a pizza. We got our salad bowls quickly but the only downfall was they were out of a lot of toppings. The eggs and cheese were completely empty. Eventually they did bring out more however the sun flower seeds and croutons stayed empty the whole time. However this was a make or break for us it would of just been cool to have it to put on my salad. There was no honey mustard today so I'm not sure if they're just out or what. Ranch was fine but honey mustard is definitely my favorite. The entrées came out in good time gyros were filling and tasty. Our server had a lot of tables it seemed like but she did a wonderful job! We like grecian and we'll be back.
Finally, a restaurant with amazing service and top quality food that doesn’t break the bank. I admit I’ve been very frustrated lately eating out. Between the labor shortage and inflation, dining in restaurants isn’t what it used to be. Grecian Family Restaurant has restored my faith! The menu is huge for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the food is obviously homemade, well-made, and so fresh. They claim to place an emphasis on Italian and Greek but have a well-rounded American menu as well. Breakfast is also a specialty. And the bakery -yes-a separate bakery attached to the restaurant has mouthwatering looking desserts worthy of bringing home for special occasions and guests. I’m thinking this would also be a great place for dessert and coffee. My waitress, Arissa was attempting to do the job of three people in the back and front of the house and was doing it well. Please be patient as I was and found it was well worth it. No wonder she was wearing a running suit and shoes! I had the best dinner salad that I’ve eaten in a restaurant in at least two years: fresh, green, crisp, and generous-no iceberg. It was delicious. I also ordered Chicken Parmesan, which I lately have had poor luck with at other restaurants labelling themselves “Italian.“ It was piping hot, and I mean steaming – has anyone else been having trouble getting hot food at restaurants lately? The chicken cutlet was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The meat sauce was clearly homemade, generously portioned, and truly meaty. The cheese was not the cheap plastic- like stuff you get at some restaurants. It was stringy and gooey, as it should be. Did I mention the prices? I was there for lunch and it was such a bargain compared to the dozens of other places I’ve been in the area in the past couple months. And the portions were so generous I had enough to take home for another meal. I also met the owner, whom I could tell had such a passion and pride in what he serves. The greater Nashville area needs more restaurants like this. I am tired of spending large amounts of money on average food served by indifferent wait staff and absent owners. In one visit, these folks have made a regular of me. Do yourself a favor and take a look at their online menus. Go there. You’ll be impressed.
I’ve tried this place a few times and I just don’t get it. Maybe there is something wrong with my taste buds? The breakfast is not bad. I wasn’t impressed with anything else that I’ve tried. Sorry.
