I tried this restaurant on a beautiful day to sit out on the patio. It's such a little oasis! I got the chicken shawarma salad and it was delicious! read more

Greek Cafe - Lunch special - Greek Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Greek cafe has been around for decades and is a cool springs hidden gem. Amazing food for a great price. Love this place!

Everything tasted good, but the portions were very scarce. Hardly any meat in my mixed salad. A very poor value compared to what I get elsewhere. Disappointed. read more

The people that took our order were great and very friendly. I had the chicken kabob with rice, pita and Greek salad. It was incredible. I will definitely return. read more

Driving north on 65, about 30 miles to go, singing off key to a classic Queen song, watching for the buffalo on the hill, minding my own business, when out of the blue my husband says "we need to eat something. Where do you want to go?" I'm awakened from by roadtrip coma. I shake my head trying to make a coherent statement and sentence when the inevitable "I dunno" slides right out. It's straight to Yelp. Lot's of fast food, nope. Then I spot a 4 1/2 star restaurant but we'd have to get off at the next exit. A half mile and 3 lanes to cross, we get off the exit only to be in the wrong lane. A fellow driver must have taken pity on us with our out of state plate and let us cross in front of him, making him miss the light. We get to Greek Cafe and we were the only ones there. They advertised a lunch special but, thank goodness, we only ordered gyros, they were almost too large for one person to eat. I had the lamb and beef gyro while my husband had the mixed grill shawarma. Gyro oand chicken with grilled onions and peppers. They were off the grill rather quickly and I went through the topping bar with speed. It was pretty out so we opted to eat on the patio. Both gyro were delicious and huge. I was able to get through about 3/4 of it before I reluctantly had to stop. My husband managed to finish his and the rest of mine. Better put - we didn't have an opportunity to eat again until after we checked into our air bnb in San Jose. By then we were getting a little hangry but it was also almost 10 hours since lunch. We'll make sure to build time into our travels to the airport so we can visit Greek Cafe again. read more

Greek Cafe - Mixed grill shawarma - Greek Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Below mediocre in terms of quality and cleanliness. Tried it once because I was heading to Trader Joe's. We were gonna go to our usual spot, but I saw the sign and figured I'd try it out. First and last time I know it's bad when the kids wouldn't finish their plates as did I read more

We love coming to Greek cafe! The food is always amazing. Sam helped us today and he was so extremely kind. I highly recommend it!!

Greek Cafe - Gyro plate - Greek Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Had hair in food stuck in the container took his hand pulled it out handed it back to me as of

If you don't know any better and have never had really good Greek food, you won't mind this place. The food was bland and literally gave cafeteria/hospital vibes. The salad was mostly browning and wilted. Tables had a film on most and the place definitely needs a deep cleaning. Paper towel holders on tables were rusted out and/or dirty. I took a bite and threw it out. Yellow box riced, bagged salad mix and frozen chicken. Horrible. Would never go back. read more

Great gyros and chicken. The fries are the best in Franklin and the Greek salad was delicious. Will be back soon.

Food is actually very good and the employees are generally kind. There is a bit of a language/culture barrier but I've only had good experiences here, especially with the chicken kabobs read more

Greek cafe is hands down one of the best spots in Cool Springs. Food is excellent, portions substantial, and restaurant is clean and well maintained. Eat here at least once a week, Sam runs a great shop! read more

I've been visiting the Greek Cafe Grill since before 2011, and despite living over an hour away, I always make sure to stop by whenever I'm in Franklin, usually every 90 days. I can't leave without enjoying an amazing gyro platter for myself and our family. We've tried gyros from various places, but none compare to the freshness of the ingredients and the perfectly cooked meat here--it's not greasy, just right. Our favorite is the tabbouli. During my visit on 6/24/2025, Mary and Sam were extraordinary, as always with their service. The location is in a perfect spot in Franklin, Tn and very clean. Brentwood is very lucky to have such a wonderful Greek cuisine in their city! read more

Falafel. I love Falafel. They do Falafel properly. They aim to please. They are clean, polite, and provide indoor and outdoor seating. Thank you for being in this community now and for over 23 years!!! read more

See all

This place is a hidden gem! Such wonderfully fresh food and great service! Try the chicken and gyro plate.

Food is amazing! BIG portions, great flavor, food quality is good, and the workers are super friendly! Comfy booths and usually calm. Would recommend! read more

This was our first time here. The chicken and the lamb were very tender and quite tasty! The workers were really friendly and welcoming. The place was very clean. We chose to eat outside, which was a nice option! read more

Excellent locally owned. Crushed a single gripper (you grip and finish it). CEO came up with the boys. Luke sat this one out. Bens mom came. Dickey Lee, Ben and his mom got salads. Bill went to the liquor store. My kind of place. No fluff or frills. Solid Greek (not Macedonian...big difference) food. read more

Greek Cafe - Gyro magic - Greek Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

they were very nice, huge pita portion, and the food was delicious! I got the Philly steak pita!

I have since returned to this restaurant several times. I have not had the same 'rude and unreasonable' service as I did the first time. The food is good and a good value for what you get. The customer service still needs some major changes. However, it is better than it was. The orders have been correct, generous portions, and quick service. The restaurant is not as clean as it should be, including the bathrooms. It really could use a little updating. The last 2 visits were an improvement, so I'm changing my rating to be fair. (I only returned because I was with other people, but glad we gave it another chance). read more

Ordered the lunch special and a side of hummus or hommos as the menu states. The hommus was good. It was fresh and flavorful. The lunch special consists of choice of sandwich with fries, rice, or salad. I selected gyro meat and fries. The fries were cooked fresh to order and very good. The gyro sandwich was packed full of veggies and meat. The meat was good and there was a lot of it. I asked for sauces on the side - cucumber sauce (taziki) for the sandwich and ranch for my fries. The restaurant was clean, comfortable seating, good lunch crowd. The service was meh....the man who took my order was nice but the lady making the plates seems miserable. Not really rude just not friendly. She spoke in a different language when I would ask for something and from the look on her frowning face it was an inconvenience...sorry to inconvenience you lady, if you read this. Hope your day gets better. I wanted to give a local spot my business vs. a chain like Taziki's or Cava but for me, this will be the first and only stop here. And from the reviews i'm not the only one who found the service less than extraordinary. read more

Don't count on these guys to offer you curb service, THEY NEVER ANSWER THEIR PHONE!! And IF they do they'll insist on cash.

Cmon GC we've helped you for many years do us a favor answer your phone, take the debit Visa cards and the like and meet us the curb with our food like every others restaurant in the world. Geeeeeez. read more

Greek Cafe - Chicken Chef Salad half garden greens half tabouli. - Greek Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

This deserved zero stars! YUCK. Not only is the man taking your order rude, but the food wasn't even good. My husband who eats anything, actually commented how the Lamb tasted like the refrigerator. The appetizer humus had no flavor at all, and we got one pita bread for $8. The kicker was the very, rude cashier, who took our order. After paying and waiting, He called for my husbands order. He only handed my husband his order, not mine. He then starts to make my veggie wrap. He asked what I wanted on it. I named one veggie, and cheese (for which he put a teaspoon of cheese sprinkled on it, I asked for more and that ticked him off.) I didn't get to add any more veggies, because that rude man turned his back on me and ended up pushing around 2 other men's jobs. He push aside the cook, and cooked it himself. He went to the counter and moved that guy from his job. Then almost threw the wrap at me. Needless to say, it had NO taste, No flavor- it was Bla! We both threw our meals away after a few bites. I guess we are spoiled because we get Great green food in Bellevue, with fresh products. We happened to be in Franklin and was SO disappointed. We Won't ever be back!! read more

great food! amazing service! dropped our kids food and they replaced it all for free and were so kind to us. Good Customer service is so hard to find these days! read more

We have been jonesing for some Greek food all week and decided to give this place a try. For the record - I spoke a few phrases of Greek to the staff and was met with blank stares. So, either my Greek pronunciation is indecipherable or there is no-one of Greek heritage working there. Not that this is a problem; it is the exception vs the rule to find natives running an ethnic food establishment. The food was good - and filling - but nothing really jumped out at me. Shawarma was on the menu on-line but not on the menu board in the restaurant. However, they attempted to make it for me anyway. Rice in grape-leaves were a nice appetizer. The staff is unenthusiastic (to put it mildly) and the interior reminded me of a by-gone era of cafeteria. Relatively clean but not dripping with atmosphere. Wanting a Greek salad, gyro, or pita bread with hummus? Might be the place for carry out. read more

Food was just ok. Good portions, but kinda blan. Language was a big issue. The dude making the food simply didn't listen at all, even to his own boss who took my order. Multiple times I had to tell them multiple items were missing from my order. It was a fight just to get what I paid for. No itemize receipt. It wasn't just me. It was all the customers behind me. One even began to argue with them as we ate our food. It was that bad. They were short a serving spoon for the humus so the guy started shaking off a dressing spoon and realized that wasn't going to work. He went to the back to grab another one and you heard a few metal things drop. Makes me wonder about the overall cleanliness. read more

Over priced! I was charged 15 dollars for a gyro combo. The food is descent but they are really overcharging for it.

Delicious food! We luv Greek Cafe. A healthy option the entire family! The staff is friendly and engaging.

Food is ok but service people who work at this location are rude. Prices online are less than if you order in the restaurant. When. I complained he lied and said prices had not been updated online. Although I could have ordered online at the lower prices I will not be going back read more

Yah, everything we had was pretty much meh. Greek salads were fine, but the dressing was ferociously vinegar-y. Baba ganoush was kind of bland and there were big pieces of tough eggplant in there. I dunno. I don't think I'd recommend it. There are better places. read more

Their veggie appetizers (Falafel, Homous/Hummus, Toubuleh salad) are good. Chicken Kebab ($9.99) came with rice and salad. Howeven, their Bacalava was too sweet and had little stuffing. Taking away a point for poor Bacalava making. read more

Just plain rude...doesn't even greet me when i come to the counter. Just seemed totally disinterested in serving me. Won't be going back and with their service they won't be around long anyway read more
