George the Greek

I’m never one to say that the sides eclipse the main but at George the Greek in Longbranch this is the case. That’s not to say that the main course is bad at all, it’s actually amazing but between the potatoes, rice and greek salad (lettuce style not traditional) I was totally floored!
I’d eaten here once or twice already as they do a great cheap Gyro sandwich which is packed with meat and toppings for $ 6 each. The meat is freshly shaved to order, not pre shaved like many places and kept in a warming tray. Fresh shaved and the cooked on the flattop!
Last night we stopped in for dinner and they were BUSY, not just the seating but the take-​away orders were flying off the counter fast and furious. People were coming in for everything from Souvlaki dinners to sandwiches to burgers to salads and more and more.
We took up a table and ordered a (large — two skewer) lamb souvlaki dinner and a vegetable souvlaki dinner. The dinners come with the aforementioned salad, potatoes and rice. The salad comes dressed perfectly and topped with a mountain of moist feta, while the potatoes and rice are tender and covered in a deliciously light sauce. Usually this ruins a Greek meal for me because the potatoes and rice are dry, not at George!
The Lamb souvlaki was pretty good, cooked to liking (medium rare), the taste was good and the meat was well cooked and well seasoned. It was a little chewy and tough in some spots so not the best I’ve ever had but still pretty good. Arguably better than some of the touristy crap I ate while in Greece last year.
Dinner was also incredibly cheap, including two drinks it came out to less and $ 45 tax and tips in — at that price, why am I cooking at home?

The service is great and awesome! and i guess the owner is also sometimes the chef. They made you feel like home and though its a small resto, the food is exquisitely good and huge serving!;)) amzing greek food!

The customer service was alright, nothing really to complain about. but they aren’t really attentive. small and outdated restaurant but the food was fresh and tasted good. The potatoes and rice ans salad was really good and the chicken was very good too. some would say it is bland, but I found the chicken souvlaki fairly seasoned well and not over the top. I sprinkles only just a bit of salt over it, although there was no need, really. I’d come here again and I recommend. The cook asked me if the food tasted good, I said yes, lolll

This place is great. It’s not fast, but the portions are enormous and the food is delicious. I had the baked lasagna, which was closer to the way lasagnas are made in Quebec than Ontario (more cheese, green peppers, mushrooms). It was amazing. I’ll be there often.

Finally tried George The Greek for the first time! Rushed by a thousand times dragging my tired kids home from school, but today was finally the day to stop and get some delicious Greek food!
My husband ordered their Chicken Souvlaki Dinner, which he shared with our 10 year-​old and I ordered the Veggie Souvlaki Dinner, both came with a gigantic Greek salad.
The portions are absolutely enormous, you will not leave this restaurant feeling hungry, prepare to bring home leftovers.
Chicken was tender and flavourful, rice and potatoes just melt in your mouth, according to my husband and kid, both loved every bite and were happy with the generous portions.
My veggie souvlaki was really surprising, I never expected the veggies to be presented so beautifully and be this flavourful, I also didn’t expect this restaurant to have any veggie options at all, but they have a few good ones!
We also ordered Greek coffee, which was fragrant and pretty potent, I highly recommend it.
Tina, our waitress is a very sweet person and so is George, we’ll definitely be back to get to know the rest of the staff, this restaurant has a home-​like atmosphere with lots of regulars and a lot of interesting neighbourly conversations.
My 10 year-​old left the restaurant with a pocket-​full of candy, thanks to Tina :)

After spending a couple of hours at the Starbucks right by this place to work on my paper, I decided to indulge myself with some delicious Greek food, little knowing that I would never receive my order today. I walked in, there were two people eating, and two people working behind the counter in the kitchen. After waiting for a couple of minutes to order my food they eventually noticed me as the guy and the lady were arguing over something in greek.
I ordered greek salad, with one skewer of chicken souvlaki, how long does it take to bbq a skewer of chicken? After waiting for another half an hour, he said your order will be ready in a couple of minutes. After waiting a couple of more minutes, I figured there is nobody behind the counter to give me my order. The husband and wife were just gone to the back… I’m just speechless.
Would never walk in here again.

We ordered take out from George there Greek.
All in all the food was bland. It was cooked well, but under seasoned.
We had:
Hummus — we liked this!
Tsatsiki — a bit on the runny side
Salad — dressing was too oily
Chicken Souvlaki dinner — bland chicken and potatoes

So we went to this place because a friend recommended it to
is a hole in the wall dive that just happens to be delicious. They have been in business over 50 years, and you can tell why as soon as you see the food much less taste it. Super friendly customer service experience too… they do not hesitate to show you how you can save money when ordering your food. We ordered to large chicken souvlaki dinners which each comes with a large Greek salad, potatoes, tatziki, rice, and chicken, along with a side of garlic break and pitas… way more food than 2 people can eat. We got the food to go and once we got it home opened it up… beautiful. You can tell they love food by the presentation and taste. I definitely will be back soon.

Amazing gyros — jam packed with meat. I loved it. Ordered the gyro with greek salad. The salad was good too except I should personally say «light on the onions» next time. If you’re a fan of onions, you’ll be fine. I also ordered a large caesar salad for my daughter who doesn’t like much. She commented on how good the caesar dressing was. Good price — my family of 4 ate for $ 32. As a take out meal it held up well for the drive home and waiting for hubby to arrive from work. Delicious.

Great typical little greek diner …
Reminds me of my highschool days they probably have one of the best Gyros in the west end of the city that’s forsure… Great burgers and fries .oh those old school fries and gravy… what memories .if you want some old school nostalgic memories try the fries and gravy .I’m sure it’ll bring back some great times in your life. sometimes foods like that are fun.

Delivery took an hour. Everything was moist and appeared perfectly cooked but from Greek salad dressing to gyro everything was bland. Dressing for salad was basically just oil. The gyro was tender but lacked flavour. Although it was all very reasonably priced especially considering how much food they give you I likely won’t order from here again.

I don’t go to George’s for the Greek food. I usually order from the hot oven sandwich selection… it is SO good. The sandwich comes with fries. I can never finish my whole meal. My partner usually orders the chicken parmesan… AMAZING. The bubbly cheese on top is so good. George’s is more like a family diner. We go there often– definitely a favourite.

So we have made this a regular place to eat when I don’t feel like cooking. It is an excellent value for money. Our daughter and George are best of friends. Tina his wife is lovely. We’ve even managed to get George’s brother to smile here and there.
The food: the lamb, beef, and pork souvlaki is excellent. The salads are fantastic. I have had the gyros with salad and it was awesome. The portions are still huge. Their menu selection is extensive. We still have many things to try and I would encourage anyone to come and enjoy a meal here.

I’ve reviewed this place for their amazing breakfast and brunch options before but tonight we popped in for a late dinner. As usual the service was gruff but in an endearing kind of way. I has the gyros dinner and my bf had the souvlaki. Considering we came in 40 minutes before closing time everything was really fresh. I loved the greek salad with real, not salty and processed, feta. Both our meals were quite generous and the gyros although a little salty, was moist, well seasoned and delicious. I’m so glad this little gem is in my neighbourhood.

We live really close to George’s and come here quite often for the gryros and fries with a pop for $ 7.50 Such a good value for the money. Also the greek salad is amazing. Honestly one of the best in the city. The cooks are always super friendly and so nice to my kids. Service can get slow when they have walkins and he phone orders coming in. But it is definitely worth it.

My fiancé and I ate there when we moved to the area, the food was great the first time. we ordered pork and chicken soulvaki and onion rings, but the second time it was terrible. old oil on onion rings smelled bad, the salad was cheaply made with a sprinkle of greek club house herbs, the grease basin on the side of his business turns away the appetite as it stinks on hot days! over priced and food handling needs to prep up, we will not eat there again, There is better Greek food elsewhere! Sorry George!

Was in the mood for greek food and there really isn’t to much choice in, or even near the area. Etobicoke, east and west has virtually nothing.
Found these guys online, friendly service, I was greeted almost as if I was a regular patron. Waited about 15−20minutes for our food but worth it.
I would go as far as saying it’s the best Greek place in town, but it’s definitely on the radar.
More than adequate portions, tasty souvlaki, Greek salad with feta and dinners come with rice and. or potatoes.
I’d recommend this place if you’re in the area and will probably be back. Friendly, greasy, corner restaurant. Those always have the best food.

Best pork souvlaki I have ever had. Had a few other meals here and quality was good as well as price.

Excellent quality, portions, prices, diner ambiance & cooking skill. I originally only dined outside due to the loud traditional (irritating to me) Greek music, but I haven’t heard it for a few months so I can now dine inside comfortably. Fresh cut non-​frozen fries and freshly grilled chicken souvlaki (not frozen/​pre-​cooked) exemplify the superb attention to detail. Unfortunately, the owners’ teen daughter seems to think picking and pinching the pimples from her shoulders (as well as loudly & badly singing along to the radio) while sitting in the dining area is acceptable. Likewise, the mother/​aunt server is difficult to gain attention from sometimes.

I had a friend of mine tell us what a great place this was that served mediterranean food as well as great tasting burger so my wife and I went there and ordered the chicken souvlaki and their home burger for take out. We were satisfied and full as the portions were large for the two of us as well as the food tasted awsome for a very affordable price.
