    Certain things here are tasty, but not everything, and lunchtime is bogged down by inconsistent service that lacks a sense of urgency. I was excited to try Denville's first Greek option when it opened ~3 months ago. Having now sampled their hummus, chicken gyro, and beef gyro, I unfortunately only want to recommend the beef gyro. Here is a well seasoned protein that tastes like it could be from the Mediterranean. By comparison, the chicken is a letdown - fat not trimmed or rendered, and sadly flavorless - and the bland hummus had a coarse texture. I can live with a place where only certain menu items hit the spot, but I can't abide how long it can take at lunchtime to receive my food. On my last visit, my guest and I waited 20 minutes to get a beef gyro and a chicken gyro. Only one other customer came in while we waited. I needed to get back to work! On different visits I've waited between 7 and 12 minutes. It's unfortunate that my experiences have been all over the map here because I definitely want to encourage Denville's eateries to be more diversified.

    They can't be serious for $17 (I got my sauce on the side)

    A very hard NO here. I'm no cheap skate but $17 for a gyro with about three pieces of fatty meat. Greasy fries with no flavor, lamb was fatty, chicken was gross, they don't include any feta with the gyros, tzatziki is extra, and the sauce is comes (not tzatziki) is like thousand island - we didn't like the food here at all and don't recommend.

    I had high hopes and was excited to try because I love Greek food, but this was a major letdown. The staff was nice, the food was awful. My first bite of chicken was all it took. The chicken was super chewy and dark and tasted like chicken (in a bad way, kind of like when fish tastes fishy). I definitely won't be going back.

    Kids chicken with added fries! Look at those fresh cut fries...oooooh ; )

    fantastic! I am thrilled that this business has opened. The food is so fresh. The pita is fluffy and delicious, the chicken is fresh, The staff is incredibly friendly, the seared beef is mouthwatering... how can you go wrong? By the way, my three year old daughter also found the kids menu to be appealing... and you know toddlers... Also, the decor is appealing. I've never seen such an interesting cube shaped lights. I can't wait to go back.

    @BigDudesBigFoods visited @GreeceLightningFood / @DooWopEatsDenville It's an amazing combo. Pete, Elene and their fantastic crew made us feel like we knew them our entire lives. Two spots/ one stop . #GreeceLightningFood serves authentic Greek food and #DooWopEatsDenville serves classic boardwalk food. We started with a Doo Wop Eats special (not yet on the menu) #QuadStacked #SmashBurger made from #ShortRib Chuck & #Brisket , engulfed in gooey American Cheese , lettuce , tomato , onion and speared by a pickle laden skewer presented perfectly on the classic checkerboard paper. It was a mass of meaty goodness! Joe and I cleaned our plates so well that they were able to reuse them. Next, we got a Jumbo Gyro from the Greece Lightning side. Seared beef gyro slices on Greek Pita bread with tzatziki, tomato , onion& Greek potatoes Topped with lightning sauce. Another amazingly tasty concoction devoured by #BDBF Since we cleaned our plates again, Peter decided that we needed dessert from the Doo Wop Ice Cream Bar, so he made us a #HotFudgeSundae with #WhippedCream and a #CherryOnTop The Greece Lightning/ Doo Wop Eats combo is a magical place filled with amazing upbeat people serving delicious food in a clean, spacious, inviting location in a happening foodie town.

    Very small gyro compared to several months ago. It looked like a snack wrap from Wendy's.

    Is this place still open? Drove by twice last weekend and it looked like it was out of business- dark during operating hours, no window signage at all.

Since I'm…read morenotoriously picky when it comes to restaurants and food spots, I arrived with high expectations--and I'm happy to report that this place exceeded them. First, the wait was completely worth it. If you get there early, you can probably avoid the line, but even if you can't, don't let that discourage you. Good food is worth a few extra minutes of patience. As someone who pays attention to the details, I always take a quick look inside food trucks and kitchens when I can. I was genuinely impressed by how clean, organized, and professional everything looked. It's clear they take pride in what they do. Now, let's talk about the food. The fries were fresh and clearly made in-house--not the typical pre-packaged fries you find everywhere else. The steak portions were generous (they definitely don't believe in counting pieces), and the combination of flavors and sauces came together perfectly. Every bite was better than the last. By the time I finished, I was already planning my next visit. There are still several items on the menu I want to try, and if they're anything like what I had, my diet may be in serious trouble. Highly recommended!

Even though I am a Louis Prima fan (sorry for the obscure reference) the bone to meat ratio just doesn't make up for the higher fat content. At least for me. This guys ribs changed that. You don't eat these ribs so much as you hold them up and allow the meat to dive into your mouth like an Olympian off the 10 meter platform. They are that good. And I have eaten enough brisket in my life that writing a review including a reference to pork is probably something I shouldn't do publicly, but his is top notch. Lastly, I come on this site and often see reviews regarding the personal nature of the proprietor of the business, which are sometimes so vicious and misplaced, it is not a mystery why the writers of South Park want to feed some of the members of this site what they want to feed them. To that end, if you have a problem with either Dan or his staff, I would have to say that the problem is most likely with you. They couldn't be nicer, more courteous and helpful. I know that sounds like a lot for serving somebody BBQ but those fairgrounds on a weekend can be a certified nuthouse. At no time did I see anyone lose their patience or desire to help the customers. Five stars all the way.
