Reviews for John The Greek Restaurant in San Antonio, TX
What a gem!! I love Greek food and have been meaning to try this place for a couple of months now. Today was the day. I was... only disappointed that I hadn't stopped in sooner. The food was fresh and really seemed to be made from scratch. The atmosphereis nice and the service was fast and friendly. Read more
Finally a place where when I buy a salad, they understand I want it to taste amazing, and want to be full by the end of it! The... gyro salad was great! Olives were so tasty, and gyro was even crispy on the edges. I?m trying to be healthy with a salad, but Icouldn?t pass up the baklava. It was fantastic. Staff was very nice and friendly, too. So happy to find an amazing local Greekrestaurant! Read more
Love their Greek dressing, take some home! Great Olives. The food is good, trying to find my favorite plate out of the menu.... I've been several times in the past 3 weeks. Read more
I've found my new favorite Greek spot in town. I know it's 100 degrees but I couldn't resist a taste of the avgolemono soup and... I'm so glad I didn't skip it. Comfort food at its best. The soup is very rich and smooth. Can I buy it by the liter in thewinter? I ordered the saganaki as my mother had never tried it before. I didn't expect our waiter to actually light it at ourtable! That was a pleasant surprise, a little table side entertainment. It too was perfect. The pita served alongside was hotand beautifully seasoned. The tzatziki is not my personal favorite ever but I've found it so very specific to each restaurantthat half the fun is in trying them all. It complimented the well seasoned gyro and pita, though, so this is not a knock againstthe tzatziki. I don't think there was a dessert here we didn't try and they were all yummy but the show stopper is theloukoumades, they look like large doughnut holes soaked in a sweet syrup and dusted with cinnamon and sugar. They were to diefor. If you don't have room after stuffing yourself with all the Greek food you have to get some to go, you won't regretit. This restaurant is easy to access with ample parking spot directly in front. We especially appreciated the beautiful andgenerously sized outdoor patio. Read more
Large Greek salad with Gyro meat, and added a side of Tzatziki and hummus. One of the best things I've eaten! I'm not usually a... fan of desert but the ingredients are simple and fresh. Delightful experience all around. 5 stars! Read more
I decided to try this place out because it was near my work and I enjoy Mediterranean food. Usually I go to Pasha for a gyro so... I was excited about this place because Pasha to me is express Mediterranean food and google had this place rated 4.7 stars. Theinside of the restaurant was cute. It was a cafe vibe and the decorations on the inside were cute. They decorated it like youwere at a Mediterranean cafe overseas. The staff members seemed very nice. The lunch specials are very well priced. I decided onthe lunch special that came with the drink, soup, salad, gyro, and fries so I could try everything. The salad had good flavor,but I didn?t like that it was just iceberg lettuce. To me there is no flavor with just iceberg lettuce. The soup wasn?t bad. Ittasted like chicken noodle soup without the noodles and a bunch of lemon squeezed in it. I probably won?t order that againbecause I usually only eat chicken noodle soup when it?s cold or I?m under the weather. The fries were freshly cut and made.They didn?t have any seasoning on them so y server gave me seasoning salt which made them tasty. It was definitely having nicefreshly cut/in house fries. The gyro wasn?t bad either. I feel like it was missing a bunch of flavor though. Pasha has moreflavor in their meat and in their tzatziki dressing, and the gyros are usually bigger. I also like that you can add moretoppings at Pasha. This place just came with the meat, tzatziki, tomatoes, and onions. If I had to choose I would keep going toPasha over this place. I?m not saying I won?t be back, but the only reason I would be back is if people I?m with wanted to gohere. Read more
We decided to check this place out on a Tuesday. It was quiet, just a few tables were taken. This place has indoor and also an... outdoor dining area. The decor was quite nice as well. The food was good and the staff was friendly. There was quite a varietyof dishes that included chicken, beef,lamb, seafood and veggies. Try the cold sampler platter, the feta cheese mix is delicious.They also have a kids menu. I am sure that you will find something that you like, no matter how picky you are. The meals comewith a delicious side salad that you need to try. Read more
Definitely worth the stop! The menu selection looks fantastic and the staff is great. I'll make another appearance in a few... weeks. Read more
