Grecian Gardens

"Husband and I have been coming here for close to 35 years. We started in high school when we first started dating and continue to this day. And while the decor has definitely changed a bit, the food, as always is so good. We love the fresh baked bread and Greek salad; always fresh and good. The pizza is a must try! All the food is good though. Love the fact we can now take some of the salad dressing home."

"I'm amazed at how quickly they seated and served in a completely packed Sunday crowd. So many people, yet the order came out in a timely fashion and was correct! (Some places don't hear the allergy requests). The bread beforehand is always tasty. The salad was fresh and the lettuce was a bit crunchy (perfect!). The simple spaghetti was cooked to perfection with fresh sauce and tender but not soggy pasta. Friendly wait staff and management. There is a reason it was so packed! From what I see, the crowd isn't as bad most other days of the week. There is plenty of parking (but fills up fast after church!). We had a larger group that they graciously accommodated. Highly recommended!"

"It was later in the evening, I was one of the last patrons. I ordered the special Flounder & Shrimp. When I ordered, I was asked, "fried, grilled or blackened?" Blackened was my choice. Greek salad and vegetables were sides. While waiting, the wait staff was piled into a booth two tables away doing side work and talking. It was not appropriate in front of customers. Food was good, but there was a mixup with sides. There were no potatoes, so she brought rice instead. I had asked for a salad. It had one kalamta olive. Meal finished, but no asking about dessert. The check came with a dollar more than shown on the Specials board. When I asked, I was told, "blackened is a dollar extra." Why wasn't I told? "That's the way it is." Having never eaten here before, I don't think I'll ever go back."

"Our second visit to a classic in West Columbia. Actually drove an hour-and-a half to meet friends driving three hours. Warm and friendly staff…accentuated by one of the owners, Alex, serving as greeter, host and “traffic cop”…a requirement with continuous flow of customers coming into the restaurant. The appetizers of fried yellow and zucchini squash, calamari, and tzatziki and perfectly grilled pita bread hit the mark with the authentic taste of Greece. The gyro platter, Greek Chicken and Greek Salad with the marinated chicken tenders were perfectly seasoned like Yiayia. Definite highlights are the homemade bread and scrumptious desserts."

"First time here and I’ll be back for sure! Generous portions, hot food, deliciously prepared. Chicken was seasoned perfectly as were the potatoes! The tzatziki sauce was off just a little (reason for only four stars). It was mostly sour cream, it was missing the other flavors. My friend had the lasagna and that was perfect! There’s so many things I want to come back and try! Baklava was heavenly! Great friendly service and reasonably priced entrees! Was very pleased with this restaurant."
