John the Greek

Service was wonderful - caring staff!!!Loved the gyro and the lemon soup (can't recall traditional name).Pleasant vibe and will return!

The combo appetizer is the best dish to order for sharing and getting to try authentic and delicious Greek flavors. We always have a great time here with very upbeat and friendly servers and manager who goes around checking on everyone. The patio is so nice we always choose to sit outside and it's even heated over the winter.

We drive across town just to eat at John the Greek. Delicious greek food and the servers are always so friendly. We have also ordered for pick up on numerous occasions and aren't disappointed with portion and quality.We love the Gyro combos (#12C) for both lunch and dinner, you can order with fries, soup, and/or salad. We also love to add an order of Baklava to share. If you are in the mood for soup, the AVGOLEMONO SOUP is one of the best I have tried. Affordable and fast for lunch or dinner.

We had a meeting here tonight for a church men's group of about 10 people. I have never been here before even though I've lived in the area for many years.I had always heard good things about this place and those reports were true. Very good food and excellent service. The restaurant is very casual and comfortable as is the food which is delicious! My only regret is not trying the Greek coffee and any of their desserts, which looked fabulous! I will make sure that those are on the list for the next time I come.

This past Monday, hubby had dinner with friends so it was Daddy-daughter dinner for us. I took Dad to @johnthegreeksa for dinner. It's been a while since we last visited.Dad and I both had Lemonade. I ordered the Sampler Plate for us, which had the hummus, Tirkokafteri, Skordalia, and Tzatziki with two pitas. Most of this was soft for Dad. He had forgotten he had tried these before. I also ordered the Traditional Gyro with the avgolemono soup, which was chicken, rice, celery, carrots, eggs, and lemon sauce. Dad enjoyed the soup and we shared the gyro.We were already full so no desserts for us. Maybe next time!

The food is so incredibly tasty! We haven't seen anything come to the table that we wouldn't happily order again. I'm still on the lookout for a Greek salad that has a tart vinegar potato salad at the heart, but I sure don't hold it against anyone. This one is fine, and they sell their delicious Greek dressing by the bottle. The decor is reminiscent of those Italian restaurants that have murals of Italian pastoral scenes and columns inside the building. This one is just the Greek version! The ambience is matched to the food and it's quite enjoyable. Windows have darkening film to block out bright sunlight, so it's not as bright inside and you may want supplemental lighting if you have vision challenges. Service has been slow the lunches I've been there; the latest time, we had to chase down the check. Probably not the place for a quick turn work lunch but if you have the time, come enjoy the food at John the Greek!

My friends and I decided to try John the Greek while in San Antonio as it was a place we hadn't been before. The staff was very friendly and did a great job and the restaurant itself was nice and casual as well. While dining at John the Greek, I tried the following: - Lamb Meatballs w/ Tzatiki: Delicious! - Lunch Special (Traditional gyro, greek salad, french fries and drink): The salad was good and fresh, the french fries were OK and the meat was a bit dry but all together it was a good lunch- Cookies/ Desserts: The desserts at the front counter looked good but ended up being pretty dry. I wouldn't order these again.

Excellent lunch here! The service was SPOT ON too! Our questions were answered, and out server was quick to refill drinks and/or clear plates. We started with the flaming cheese app. Perfect size. I forgot the greek name, but we enjoyed it's mild flavor with pita. I ordered the chicken gyro and Greek salad. Both delicious! My husband had the traditional gyro with soup & salad. All excellent, he said. We were full from the generous lunch portions, so did not eat dessert. From what I saw it all looked delicious. Baklava & other items The inside of the restaurant was decorated with pictures of Greece, and artwork. Very casual, but nice! Prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back! Thanks for a great Greek experience!

Step into another country with a wonderfully Greek ambiance with lovely wall paintings, fresh food, and great service. I stopped in on a late afternoon and ordered the wonderful Avgolemono soup and their version of a filet mignon. Let me tell you, the soup and steak were absolutely excellent. The chef, John, did a better job than they do at Saltgrass. Prices were great, and they also had the Greek beer, Fix. Go in and have a homey experience with excellent food. I am so glad I went, and I would return in a heartbeat.

John the Greek is a solid choice for authentic, homemade Greek food. The Avgolemono soup was a comforting delight--the perfect balance of hot, lemony goodness on a cold day. I really enjoyed the chicken gyro pita, especially since the chicken was sliced thin in the traditional "gyro style," which is rare to find at most Greek spots. The village salad was fresh and flavorful, but the highlight for me was dessert. The baklava was hands down the best in San Antonio! If you're looking for delicious, scratch-made Greek food, this is the place to go.
