I ordered a pick up. The service was excellent and I was very excited to be picking up our order. Fried calamari, large chicken and lamb kebob dinners. Very sorry to say that we were both very disappointed with our meals. Boiled, rice and potatoes. Both with not much flavour added. Both meats overcooked, under flavored. Calamari mediocre. Unfortunately, not a venue i could recommend. Must have been a bad night. There were a lot of delivery orders? read more

George the Greek - excellent (chicken) - Greek Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

So I did come back for their souvlaki and it was bittersweet. Because I ordered two large souvlakis and got two small souvlakis. But the souvlaki was fine. Rice and potatoes were plentiful but I needed the two skewers man to go with the smoke sides. Which were classic. Soft potatoes and nice rice. No pita nut bread was fine. The salad has ample feta. So you get quantity but the quality doesn't blow your mind but it is adequate enough for me to come back with my mom for dine in for two entrees for thirty. Nice cool little spot. Nothing fancy like me. read more

George the Greek - Greek salad - 1 skewer chicken souvlaki - Greek Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Best Greek food hands down in Toronto. My mother use to have me drive her to this restaurant as she loved the Gyro. It's been years since we've eaten here and the food was just as amazing as a decade ago! Great fast service, large portions and affordable. We had it for dinner and even went back to order food to take home. This is a must go to place when in town for us now! We ordered chicken souvlaki, large Greek salad with chicken and cheesecake. I was glad to see a local still open and serving the same high quality food after covid ! Wish we lived closer read more

This was, without a doubt, the WORST Greek food I have EVER had the displeasure of eating and paying for. The Greek salad was just ok, the dressing needed more red vinegar and less oregano. The small lamb souvlaki, which I ordered MEDIUM, came EXTRA WELL DONE. I feel sure that it had been cooked several times before I got it. The lamb had no flavour and was tough and dry. The potatoes and rice were ok, again way too much oregano dumped on top of everything. The tsziki was very poor quality, didn't taste like any I'd had before. Maybe this place was good at one time, but I've had better fast food Greek than what this full service restaurant served. Bottom line : STAY AWAY. Goddess of Grammar signing off... read more

When my family first discovered this place we were sold! The employees are very nice and friendly. Their food is very tasteful. I love the chicken souvlaki it's really moist and delicious. I love their potatoes and tzatziki sauce is really good! I highly recommend this place for Greek food! read more

Do yourself a favor and make sure George's is on your list for Toronto. This was the BEST food I have had in such a long time. We got a breakfast sandwich, a BLT, and a chicken pita and it was flavorful, filling, well cooked, and just overall a 10/10. Cannot stress how good this place is and how you need to make sure you visit. The servers were super nice and helpful with our selection too! read more

George is great! I live not too far from the restaurant, which has been a local staple for over five decades. Their food is genuine, and tastes like home made Greek food - because it is literally that. No frills, just good simple food, whenever you need it. George is the type of person who enjoys cooking and feeding people, to the point that he will stay open after hours if you call and ask them to prepare something last minute. I found out about this by accident, but he was kind enough to not dismiss my call and take my order even though he had *just* closed. I also remember the story his family - who also works in the restaurant - told me about when he spent hours perfecting the delicious sauce that accompanies some of his dishes. While the restaurant is quite small, it just went through a large renovation, which gave it a fresher look, without taking away the original feel. I hope George and his team stay in my neighbourhood for many more decades to come. read more

Me and my family love their food. Always have for many years, even until the current increase in people using Uber eats. We consider your restaurant part of the family, but this clearly isn't reciprocated. We always enjoy the healthy salads, garlic toast and other accompaniments that come with orders and used to love the large size of the Gyro and other meals. No longer. The sizes are now far too small. We ordered the Buy One Get One Free offer for the Gyro Dinner (Large) which set us back $50, after discount, only to find that the portion sizes are now *miniscule* compared to what they used to be. Please don't reject local customers like this and give us small serving sizes. It's unfair and we won't be ordering from you again until we get an explanation! Even though it's a family restaurant, George The Greek no longer serves people like family. I also raised my concern with the owner who told me the sizes haven't changed. Don't lie to your customers, George. Awful customer service and basically being told I'm a liar. No, I'm not a liar: Stop scamming customers. read more

Beware of your bill. I ordered two pork pita and one veg pita wrap. Bill came to $35.00 exact which was odd as the items I ordered are from the Lunch menu which should be cheaper. Cashier did not punch items in the system, but only passed me the terminal to pay $35.00. I went back immediately and asked how did this come to $35.00, and he right away said 'Oh I charged you chicken instead of pork' which chicken is $1 more. He quickly grabbed change for me and said he only owe me a dollar something change which was wrong. I had to show him twice what the total should be before he agreed he overcharged by $6.75. The mistake almost seemed like it was on purpose in hopes I wouldn't notice. Other than that, food taste delicious. read more

WOOOW! Such a friendly family owned business! The owners were very nice to us and so were all the customers. You can tell the business runs on customer loyalty as everyone comes back for the food. We ordered the small chicken souvlaki dinner and it filled us up with leftovers as well. It came with a slice of buttered toast along with a very generous greek salad. We are definitely coming back again (: Thank you for the great experience and food! read more

George the Greek - chicken souvlaki - Greek Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I used to enjoy buying my dinner here until 2020 got hit by COVID-19 once pandemic hit I noticed that this restaurant began to slowly give less portions of food yet I still supported it. what upset me in the end was that prices went up which I understand since many businesses lost lots of money due to Covid-19 but what upset me the most was that when I mentioned the price George the owner gave me a dirty look and walked away. In the end it's not about small portions of food nor is it about the extra money it's about your bad attitude towards a regular customer. read more

Village salad with chicken skewer. The bomb! Tzatziki was delicious too. Bread was meh, soggy. Definitely recommend this place for take out

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? Eatcrest Out read more

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 :) Please check our their new website http://www.eatatgeorgethegreek.com This restaurant is fully licensed! read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had! Got it for lunch yesterday and almost wanted to go back later in the evening for another. At the end of the night I asked my boyfriend what his favourite part of the day was and he said "definitely that burger". Staff is also super friendly. Definitely our new go to spot. read more

Food was good and service was friendly! Restaurant is divey original '70s. Apparently, they are going to be doing renos soon. Cooking is more home-style. We ordered the hummus which was just made in-house and it tasted like it! Quite garlicky. Rice is as per pic, more wet, drenched with the sauce from the potatoes. I had them as leftovers today and it was a bit salty. All meats were cooked well, tender, not overcooked or hard at all. Servings are quite generous. Woman who served us was really friendly and I think that stands out above the food. read more

My parents live nearby and hold me that I needed to check this out if I was in the area. They talked it up to a degree that made me skeptical but when I had it I was blown away. This is my absolute favourite place for Greek in Toronto. I am so disappointed I don't live closer. Their gyro meat is so tender and beautiful and everything they do is delicious read more

A very, very solid 4 out of 5. This place needs to be judged for what it is - a family run joint with homemade recipes. There are a few tables scattered inside, and it's a bit crowded. It's very simple & dated decor, but that doesn't change the taste of the food (which is what you should aim for at a restaurant). We started with the Spanakopita appetizer, which was a delicious portion featuring cheese & fresh spinach. We also ordered a large beef souvlaki plate, which came with 2 skewers of beef cooked to temperature, a hefty portion of rice, and a baked potato in quarters, drenched in butter of course. I chose the gyro with fries dinner ($8.75) which had a pita underneath. It was simply delicious. The meat was seasoned well and super tender. I ended up getting a side of Tzatziki for my fries. Dinner came to $35 with taxes. The portions were large and the service was friendly, albeit a little slow. We didn't mind waiting. read more

George the Greek - Gyro sandwich & fries meal... $8.75 - Greek Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

I just don't get the fascination with the place. I've had food from and been to the restaurant a total of 3 times and I don't see myself ever going back. I had take out that was picked up for my first meal, Caesar salad with steak on top. The salad was mush with way too much dressing that wants even tasty. The steak was over cooked, well done when I had asked for medium. Not a spot of pink anywhere. Meat was chewy...my dog liked it. Next I thought it was a one off since there are so many people saying the food is good. Went in with my kids and their friends. The place is dirty, like greasy film on everything, shoes slid on the greasy floor. Sigh... we sat down anyway and were given menus which were also old and nasty. The whole place smelled like a dirty mop head and grease. Ugh, there was NO way I could eat there, kids weren't happy either. We got up and left and walked down the street for a burger at Woody's. Lastly, my neighbours were getting take out and said they really enjoyed it there. I was hesitant but lazy and didn't feel like cooking or going anywhere else. I decided to try one more time, maybe the first salad was a one off....nope, still gross, too much dressing, over cooked chewy steak. And that's enough for me! I've had better Greek food from those places in the mall. read more

Tasty souvlaki, but I've had better. Ordered take out over the phone, arrived when they said and they were quite busy so I knew I'd wait for a minute, but I wasn't even acknowledged! I waited at the cash while a group that came in behind me sat down and was served first! Then another table was leaving and was again served before me. No one asked if they could help me and finally I interrupted one of the women to ask if a small chicken souvlaki dinner was ready, she says "I think so" and proceeds to grab the take out container I've been staring at for 10mins with the cold garlic toast on top. Very unhappy, won't go back. read more

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. read more

I stumbled across this gem when I was grabbing a beverage from Starbucks as I was hungry and in need of lunch. The decor is close to a low joint diner and at times, can barely make out what the person/people behind the counter are saying. Twice I've ordered their chicken souvlaki dinner and in a pita and each and every time, it was delicious, soft and fresh. I've read a few of the reviews now and yes - they do take a long time to prepare the food, so if you are in a rush, I'd suggest calling ahead of time and ordering as it does take them 15-20 minutes to prepare the meal (dine in and take out). It's as good as most of the good restaurants on the Danforth, but situated in the Longbranch area. Service is diner-style, so if you are waiting for great service - this is not the joint for you. read more

Unassuming place on the corner of a street. Food took long for a walk in order but there were a lot of people coming through for takeout (good sign). Ordered the large gyro plate to go, lots of food, tasty and friendly staff - feels like an institution for regulars. Would definitely go back for more. read more

I stumble upon the spot and enjoyed a chicken souvlaki on a pita and a Greek salad. It was perfect. Chicken was juicy and well seasoned and my salad was fresh and filling. My only disappointment was the fact there was only three olives :( I love olives! The restaurant was a bit small so I wouldn't recommend a group outing. The restaurant could also work a bit on its cleanliness. I will definitely return and recommend trying the pita. read more

George the Greek - Greek Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Portions were big and satisfying. The salad actually used romaine lettuce which is becoming an extinct practice when it comes to Greek salad in restaurants. Very much appreciated! Chicken was delicious (I ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner) and cooked well. The only thing I didn't like as much was the rice and potatoes. A little bland but still ok. I have had better at other Greek places for sure, that's all. The garlic bread was a nice touch as well. I would come back and order here given that it is close and the food was good. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Awesome! The chef said, "You never had Wow fries?!" and gave me the you will see smirked. He was right! Delicious. Gyro = bomb too.

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 . read more

This was my first time, but if I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely pop in for another meal! It's a little run down inside, and the service was a bit aloof - you kinda gotta get their attention to get your order in and maybe remind them about your drink. I was getting a little antsy about how long it took to get my combo souvlaki dinner plate, but when they plopped it down in front of me it blew my expectations out of the water. A really refined and beautiful presentation, they put a lot of care into the dish and it also showed in the flavor. A great value at $17.99 for half skewers of pork/chicken/lamb/beef! read more

Great quick eat, everything is freshly made right when you order. Not much seating at lunch, its like a small diner, but you get that close family feel. Great greek food!, the owners are making it and you get that personal relationship with them. This is close by my work so I have eaten here 100's of times. I recommend the breakfast, very affordable cook to order, and i love the turkey club sandwich, comes with greek salad and mountain of french fries. great eat! not open too late, but a great lunch spot anytime of day. Parking is sometimes hard on lakeshore, buy a quick parking ticket though, those parking cops are always around! read more
