Recently visited the Mike & Tony's Gyros location in Bridgeville. I have heard about this place and…read moreprobably driven by a million times, being that I live fairly close, but finally got the chance to enjoy a meal here and see what it is all about.
Mike & Tony's is a Greek-style restaurant that is locally owned and operated. It began in the South Side of Pittsburgh over 50 years ago, and has since grown into 6 total locations throughout the region. They are known for their fresh lamb, gyros, and Greek cuisine. In addition to the food, they offer a full-service bar.
This specific Mike & Tony's location is in the Great Southern Shopping Center off of Washington Pike in Bridgeville. From 79, it is right off of the Collier exit. The restaurant sits on the right side of the complex once you enter from Washington Pike, in the same building as the Texas Roadhouse. It is the corner unit on the left, next to what was formerly Joann Fabrics. If you know how to navigate to this large shopping center, it will be relatively simple to locate the restaurant.
Since this is within a large complex, there is ample parking. The corner unit location provides parking spots in front of the entrance, as well as on the left-hand side of the building. I would be shocked if you had an issue finding an adequate parking spot when coming here.
The restaurant is a quaint space with various types of seating available. We personally sat at a booth during this visit, for which there are several in the back. They also have traditional bar seating, bar-height 4-top tables, and patio seating outdoors. You will find a hostess stand at the front, and they will seat you from there.
I ate lunch here with my fiance on this day, and we arrived at the restaurant around 11:45 AM on a Friday in September. It was not too busy at all, and we were immediately seated.
To start, we ordered the Baked Spinach Pie as an appetizer. This is usually something we try at all of the Greek places we eat at, since it is one of my fiance's favorite Greek items. This one was delicious. The phyllo dough was nice and flaky, and complimented the spinach and feta very well. It was a good size for us to share as an appetizer, though if you want your own I would very much understand!
For my entree, I opted for the Gyro Salad Pittsburgh-Style with Ranch. I liked that they had a lot of different options for the salad, and you could get them in either the Greek or the Pittsburgh-Style. I am usually not a huge fan of olives, so I liked having the choice of something without them for the salad.
My salad was awesome! I thought it was a generous potion with a lot of lamb and toppings to fill you up. I appreciated the pita bread on the side as well. It was very good when paired with the lamb. I even had enough to take some home with me to enjoy again for another meal!
My fiance ordered the classing Gyro Sandwich, and subbed the French Fries for Onion Rings as the side. This thing was huge! It was stuffed with lamb, fresh vegetables, and a nice helping of cheese on top. I got to try his, and really did enjoy it. It is a good size for a hearty lunch.
I truthfully loved everything we ordered. Our entrees were very well-prepared with quality and fresh ingredients. The French Fries and the Onion Rings were tasty, and of course the Baked Spinach Pie was flaky and flavorful. Definitely an awesome meal overall.
When our order was brought out, my fiance got French Fries with his Gyro instead of the Onion Rings he ordered. We let our waiter know, and he was very apologetic and corrected it immediately. We had Onion Rings out within minutes, and he even let us keep the French Fries. Really appreciate his efforts, and it made our meal that much better knowing that there was that sense of care from the staff.
The service here was so fast! We had our food within 15 minutes of ordering. Our waiter was very kind, helpful, and quick to solve our minor issue. Very much a stellar experience overall in terms of customer service!
I believe you are getting a good value when dining at Mike & Tony's. Most of the appetizers were between $9 and $13, and I did not see an entree that was over $20, plus most come with a side of French Fries. Most of the desserts were under $5. Including the drinks, our meal was under $50. Which, in today's world, is a good deal for a sit down meal out. I was pleasantly surprised with how good of a value this place is.
I am very glad that my fiance suggested this place to have lunch at. He had been before, and raved about it, so we took this opportunity to go together. The food was very high-quality, fresh, and simply delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and family-friendly. Service and staff were both an A+. I definitely will be returning to this spot in the future, as it is not too far from me. Highly recommend visiting Mike & Tony's Gyros in Bridgeville the next time you are in the area, or simply want some awesome Greek cuisine.
