I was super excited when I drove up to the shack and realized it was indeed a shack! I knew this was going to be either really good or really bad. I am happy to report that the shack is very good with a simple menu and well priced. I would definitely get the combo plate as the portions were more than I expected and the sandwich was large! Don't miss this great stop! read more

This was just ok. I probably won't get anything from here again. It wasn't awful, but not great either. I had the falafel sandwich. I've had better falafels and thought it was weird that it didn't have tzatziki sauce. The gyro was ok, but the sauce was all on one side of it. We also ordered the greek salad, which wasn't good either. I don't want to sound so negative, but just really didn't enjoy the food. read more

My wife and I stopped by today and it was not what we expected. Its just a small spot with outdoor seating only. We ordered the chicken gyros meal with salad and hummus. It was incredible! I've been to Greece and all the surrounding countries. The hummus was very Greek (thicker than other regions). The pita bread was fresh and tasty. All the veggies were fresh. We were very impressed and highly recommend it. The dude working there was also very knowledgeable and very kind. We will go back next time we're in Redding. read more

Very good lamb gyros! The hummus and peta chips were a hit, and there was plenty to go around. Plenty of meat on the lamb gyros, delicious! Reasonably priced for the large portions you receive. My new, go-to gyro spot! read more

I am not a greek food specialist so excuse my review. The food was tasty. I can't say amazing because I don't have many greek encounters to compare to but I'd eat at this shack again. Yes, it is a shack and not meant for fancy dining but the outside seating (only) is shaded and nice. Downside was sitting next to the highway and smelling a garbage can. The High way is fixable but a funky smelling trash can should be next to the dining area. Really, if you are going to have the trash a foot away from a table you might want to wash it out often, like daily. Other than that I say yes, eat here. Same people own the drive thru xanders but I haven't tried that yet, I hear they have better gyros but no falafel. Here we had the falafel wrap, lamb gyro, and hummus...all very yummy in the tummy. This costed $18 which I feel was realistic. Bottom line: I liked the food and plan on going back. Only out side seating which is well shaded. Loud highway and smelly cat (trash). Yes, it really is a shack. read more

Some of the best quick food I have had. Gyros were super flavorful and moist. The guy hat was working was super nice and quick! Would definitely recommend to anyone!!! read more

Gyro was above average but falafel balls were the worst; threw them away. Over priced. Definitely a shack.

So what if is a little shack, don't t let that fool you! The Gyro is great, the guy is kinda of quiet and you have to set outside, so beware of the weather effecting your comfort. Though they have it covered to protect customers from the sun and wind. All thing considered it is a little shack that serves Great Greek Food!

I love lamb, tzatziki, and good service! Got all three at this tiny shack in Redding. They grill the meat on that vertical spit, they give you a hearty portion, the are engaging with conversation, and they smile the whole time. Best of all, the Gyro tasted great! Ate every crumb. read more

We've been looking for a Mediterranean place for quite sometime now and there we found Greek Shack. The owner was very nice and the food was pretty great. I ordered the lamb gyro and my husband ordered the chicken gyro combo. We thought both dishes were great and delicious. Obviously we can't compare them to the gyros you'd get in the Bay Area (we moved up from San Francisco), but we thought for a little Greek shack in Redding, it was pretty awesome! I have to say their falafels are OUTSTANDING and I could definitely compare their falafels to some of the really good falafels you'd get in Bay Area. They were super delicious and I think they should have a falafel side order on their menu where I can buy a dozen of them at a time if I'm craving them. All in all, we're super ecstatic that we finally found a Greek/Mediterranean place in Redding! We'd definitely come back to satisfy our Greek food cravings!! read more

Great place to eat in Redding. Ordered the chicken gyro combo ($12.90) and it was very fresh and large portions. The pita was huge and had plenty of meat. I would recommend this to all my fellow Yelpers. Combo came with salad, hummus and warm pita bread. read more

Greek Shack - Chicken pita combo $12.90 - Greek Near Me - Redding, California

Absolutely amazing. Loved the food, ordered a lamb and chicken gyro with a baklava for dessert. Such a healthy place to eat. Not much options for food, but what they do have is amazing. And the baklava was awesome. For a dessert, it wasn't too sweet but at the same time it left a lingering taste of semi sweetness. Really awesome place I would highly recommend trying here at least once. read more

Greek Shack - The lamb gyro. Amazing - Greek Near Me - Redding, California

Great Lamb Gyros Combo with Greek salad, dolmas, hummus and pita. We had quick service and bought a beer next door during the wait. Our falafel wrap was real salty but the tzatziki sauce make it palatable. Generous portions and a great value. We would return. read more

I started eating here a few years ago when the owner was the only one working. Since then, I continue to go back whenever I have a craving for quality food, fresh ingredients, all at a reasonable cost. The quality of the gyros has stayed up the whole time. The only thing I miss is they had a "secret menu" with shawarma and a couple of other things on it. But when I asked last time, there was no knowledge of this. I can't really complain though, the gyro was amazing! I would have to say one of the greatest things about this place are the people who work there. They offer more than just service, they offer connection and are part of this community. Support this amazing business! Redding needs more businesses like this, and the food is delicious. read more

Once again my tastebuds are tickled by the Greek Shack's delectable food. Everything was freshly made with love and care. The gyro meat was tender; the pita too. The Greek salad was fresh and crisp. It's dressing had us asking where we could buy more! Would recommend without hesitation! read more

The lamb gyro: perfect and giant, smothered in taziki, slapped with hummas and stacked high with lamb, it's perfectly wrapped in a slightly grilled pita. The falafel: fell apart after breaking through the baked outer shell and tasted delicious when paired with the taziki I stole from my companions' plates. The baklava: we got a few pieces for free since we were the last customers of the night...it was amazing. Flaky, crispy, layered with nuts and sweet filling, it was amazing. I would hit up this little shack anytime. read more

Had a chicken gyro and it was pretty darn good. I easily could have eaten 2 more. It's almost as good as the gyros I used to get at The Lucky Greek in Riverside. read more

Small place seriously a shack but excellent Greek gyros. Small menu not many options but really good food and service!! I have lived in Incirlik Turkey for over a year and a half and this was pretty dang close to the real deal. Will definitely be coming back, only wish they had a bigger menu! read more

Greek Shack - So delicious! - Greek Near Me - Redding, California

I would do 3.5 stars and I will go back and adjust my rating accordingly at a later time. The reason for the three stars was that they were not helpful at all. I wanted a tabouli salad with hummus that I saw in one of the pictures. I did not remember it is called Tabuli. I tried to ask and got a weird look...sorry to pester you with questions lady.. I'll go ahead and have a Greek salad. The Greek salad was delicious because the dressing was just right- a little tangy and oreganoy. I remember thinking that it was a bit pricey for it just mostly being shredded lettuce but it was good. I'll come back with phone in hand and a picture of what I want. read more

I love this little shack! I've tried all the different gyros, lamb is my favorite, but they are all really good.

"The Greek Shack is one in a series of businesses making a go of it in this location. However, I think they may one of the success stories. More time is needed to work out startup pains, but with tasty food as the anchor they'll get there. I recommend calling your order in at lunchtime as waiting for your order may make you late if you have to be back to work. read more

Best gyro ever!!! That's what my husband said after eating his. And that's saying a lot because we're from Detroit, where Greek restaurants are as common as McDonalds. I had the falafel wrap and it was also delicious. Customer service was excellent. They take your order at the window, and instead of calling your name when it's ready, being it to your table and even offer to get napkins or anything extra you might need, even though it's all there on the counter for you to grab. The little covered patio is nice and the bathroom was surprisingly clean. We've decided this will be the ONLY place we stop when passing through Redding. read more

Splendid Greek food stand with outdoor seating. Huge portions and fair prices. Great service overall, from what looks to be a family operation. Every time I pass through Redding I can't help but stop by. Kudos! read more

Stopped over in Redding as we made our way to Portland. My wife found this place on Yelp when we were searching for dinner options. Got there about 6pm-ish, and were the only ones there besides a guy waiting for his to-go order; always a concerning site when you're trying a new place. Overall, a great little joint for some Greek food. Here's the rundown: Wife-Gyro plate (ordered Lamb but she got chicken...) with humus and Greek salad (got toubouli instead). Well seasoned gyro (my first time with chicken). Loved how it was shaved chicken not just pieces of chicken shoved into a pita. Humus was okay. Myself--Falafel sandwich. Delicious sandwich. My favorite vegetarian sandwich. And a Greek Salad side. The salad was refreshing and made to order. They were out of Turkish coffee but was offered iced tea?? Jr--Chicken Gyro. He enjoyed it. Will stop off again our next time in Redding. read more

I come here once a week when I am in town. I love their lamb gyro and tabouli. Full of flavor and very tasty! Very friendly staff also. read more

Should of got the lamb or chicken. I love falafel so naturally I gravitate towards that option when I can. The falafel was cold, dry and old. My Co-worker had the meat option which looked and tasted great. They had miner complaints but overall not nearly as bad as mine. 16$ spent for the food to go straight into the garage. Sad day. read more

Had the chicken gyro combo. The salad was really good. Didn't expect the chicken to be the way it was. It was marinaded to a really good taste. A bit like the chicken was made into a loaf and sliced thinly, so don't expect the usual ground chicken or chicken breast. That gyro was loaded and huge too. Definitely have to eat it with two hands. And the hummus, it is by far the best I have ever had. Tho I'm use to eating store bought which isn't comparable but this fresh made hummus I'm assuming, was so delicious! 14 bucks for the combo, comes with more strips of pita to dip in other kind of sauce. I would go back again. read more

Had a lamb gyro from here and it was one of the most unique and tastey thi GSM I've had in a long g time. The cucumber yogurt sauce that I can't spell tazici? Was a nice refreshing taste to the sandwich. 100% authentic read more

Yummm. Not much of a looker, but so so tasty. And friendly service too! Reasonably priced and super fast. Close enough to the freeway and much less crowded than the fast food joints. Try the lamb gyro, you won't regret it. The spanikopita (spinach pie) was also delicious. We'll definitely be back next time we're heading up 5. read more

Called my order in and the gal seemed rushed, didn't take my name or number. I got there 15 minutes later. No one was there. She took my money so I thought the food was ready. Not the case, I stood there another 10 minutes and she started cooking the chicken. If I had not already paid I would have walked away. The food was good, but time is important with a short lunch break. Service failure - I won't be back for lunch again. read more

I'm gonna start out by saying I'm a third generation Greek. My grandmother came over from Greece when she was 10, and made the best traditional greek food, from Spanicopita to Baklava to Avgolemono, and nothing I've ever tried comes close. I've been reading the reviews on here for a while now, and about two weeks ago I made it a priority to stop by on one of my lunch breaks. I was able to call in for pick up, which made the overall experience even better. I ordered the Chicken Gyro, the Spinach Pie (Spanicopita), and a piece of Baklava. I was not dissapointed. It was fresh and delicious. The Gyro was huge, more than enough to fill me up, and the Spinach Pie was cooked to perfection. The Baklava was crunchy, light, and the perfect consistancy. I was impressed. Though not as good as my faimilies recipies, the Greek Shack is a very close second. I will be there often. read more

Five stars, based on it being excellent for what it is -- quick, fresh, tasty, nutritious-- a wonderful alternative to fast food. Note that it is not much more than a kiosk with outdoor seating, but recommended especially if you are on the road and want a fast food alternative read more

I have been here 3 times and it keeps improving. My last experience here was great. Humus was delicious and creamy smooth, Gyro's were huge - we took some home. I wish they were closer in... the college kids would discover it and like Wilda's it is a great meal at under $6. The food was excellent, but the guy who cooks and serves is awesome. He is the real deal. Sauve, talkative, flirted with the girl I brought with me. A real greek, he even wore his black wrap around sunglasses while he cooked. Good food and a great experience. read more

I wanted something different to eat, so I checked on Yelp and saw all of the good reviews this place has so I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered the Lamb Gyro which was utterly fantastic. There was a lot of meat and it was so good. I'm planning to come back very soon. So, I have to agree with the other reviewers that this place is outstanding. I almost ordered another one but I was too full and I didn't want to make a pig out of myself. This makes a good take out if you want something quick but want something out of the ordinary. read more

I have been steadily patronizing the Greek Shack since I wrote my first review, and a few months ago they revamped the menu and the outside (painting it a delightful teal color and adding a bamboo privacy fence). I received an email from the owner, Amin, asking me to give the place another try. Little did he know, I already noticed how much better the falafel had gotten! The falafel itself is spicier, heavier on sesame seeds, and a much better fried crispy texture. The contents of the wrap itself also got an upgrade - new additions include pickled turnip (that hot pink mystery vegetable inside) and pickles. My sister and I visit the shack often, and Amin is always so friendly and accommodating. You can tell he has a real passion for his food, and his customers. The Tabouleh salad is great, but not for you if you don't like parsley. The Mediterranean combo (Falafel wrap, tabouleh salad, hummus and pita for $10) is fantastic, and the hummus is great (although I love a chunky hummus, which seems hard to locate!). Today when I visited I saw the food of my dreams, which I will order next time, the $1.99 Spinach Pie; basically a huge Spanokopita (phyllo dough stuffed with spinach and feta). Do not leave without some of the amazing chili sauce, unless you are sensitive to spice. It's a hot one. Great prices, delicious food, and friendly personalized service make this little shack a must-try! read more

Went there for lunch today, passing through Redding on our way home from Ashland. We each got the lamb gyro combo and it was delicious! The gyro was large, stuffed full of meat, with fresh romaine and tomatoes, and lots of tzatziki sauce. The hummus was lemony and creamy. The salad was fresh and the dressing was delicious as well. The combo really was a lot of food, so neither of us could finish the hummus. We asked for hot sauce and the nice girl behind the counter gave us a chili paste that was wonderful. It really spiced up both the gyro and the hummus, just the way we like it. We pass through Redding twice a year, sometimes more, and this is our new go-to lunch stop. Sorry Red Robin, you just can't compete with that amazing gyro! read more

Good stuff here. I have been waiting for a Greek/ falafel joint in Redding for awhile, finally tried it out and was impressed. The guy working the counter was uber friendly and the food was quality. The falafel was top notch and the chicken gyro was good as well. The place is a shack as the moniker implies, nothing fancy, but satisfying nonetheless. read more

My boyfriend and I LOVE this place. You can't go wrong with the lamb gyros, if you get the plate it's only 10 bucks and it's tons of food. They have a nice little outside patio with misters in the summer. Give it a try you'll be hooked read more

Excellent Greek food! I compliment them on the salad dressing it is phenomenal. Only 4 stars as I think the portion size does not match the pricing. Slightly larger portions or lower pricing and this would be a 5 star place. read more

Delicious! We had the falafel sandwich, lamb gyro and hummus with pita and every bite was amazing!! This is our new stop when we pass through Redding. read more
