Chris Taverna is a family-owned Greek & Mediterranean restaurant in South Florida that has been in…read moreoperation since 2004. It was founded by owner Christos "Chris" Charoudis, the restaurant's menu is largely inspired by traditional family recipes. Chris's mother, Eleni, personally quality-controlled the dishes to ensure authenticity. This is the original restaurant, at the corner of Lantana Rd. & Jog, a second is on Congress, They have expanded & during covid outdoor dining in the parking lot was created. There is a free parking in front along with a steady stream of pick up traffic. The menu offers extensive Greek dishes with servers being very quick & efficient. Portions at Chris' Taverna are enormous. One plate is enough for more than enough for 2 of us to share. The restaurant is casual, reservations are not accepted, it's first come & first serve. Tonight six of us met here for dinner. We arrived before 6:00 and waited only a few minutes for a table. When we left there was a line outside. When we were seated we were given water & a garlic spread with warm fresh pita. We all shared babaganosh & generous delicious dips. My husband & I shared a gyro salad with lots of grilled lamb, more than enough for us both. Others enjoyed greek chicken salad, shrimp with pasta, and spanakopita. Everyone brought leftovers home, enough for a few meals. Happily we weren't rushed.

They have some small two top tables inside and a couple high tops outside. They had a board with lunch specials on it. But we wound up ordering from their regular menu. I got the moussaka and he got pasticchio. Both dishes came with a very generously sized Greek salad and warm pita wedges to start. The salads had tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, onions, pepperoncinis, and romaine lettuce topped with feta cheese and dressing. There was also a small rice stuffed grape leaf -- cut in half. The salad could have been a meal in itself. The moussaka was layered egg plant and potatoes with a ground beef filling topped with cinnamon béchamel sauce. The pasticchio is the Greek version of lasagna but with elbow macaroni. Both portions were quite filling. I ate my dish and he brought half of his home. He was saving room for dessert. For dessert, he had galaktoboureko which is a custard filled pastry topped with simple syrup. He said it was good, but it would have been better if warmed. Or at least if the syrup was warm. We had very good service. If you like Greek food and are in the area, this is a good place to try. Large portions at reasonable prices.

Our order was brought to our table in a short time and there were two large skewers of Lamb with our potatoes and salad. The food was good and portions generous. A good place to stop for lunch!

To start, we stood in line and were greeted by the nice guy behind the counter. He was a little difficult to understand but we knew the concept in ordering so we just called out what we wanted. When choosing between the small and large portion, the large is a better deal because you get more choices to add on their yummy ingredients. I did salad and mt husband did rice. We were both very pleased with the portion size and the price. They didn't try to upsell our meal but they kindly made suggestions. They even gave us a few samples of the dressings to choose from since this was our 1st visit. We also loved their beverage choices as they had Stubborn Soda and some fresh made juices. I even saw a frozen beverage machine. It was very clean inside and everyone busses their own garbage. Parking is a little tight during meal hours so on our next visit, we will come at an off hour.

The restaurant decor and atmosphere is quite nice with a few tables outside. Seems this place was severely understaffed and it seemed like it was 2 people that were trying to take care of a bunch of patrons.

Now, I had no idea when I walked in here that this was a chain. With over 25 franchisees across the country this business which started as a small shop in Nevada has become a leader in Mediterranean food. And don't dare call it fast food. It is good food. It is healthy food. It is delicious food. And if this franchise is indicative of what it is like in all of their locations, I will probably be visiting them when I am in their cities. I ordered the Greek salad with a chicken skewer and falafel because I wanted to taste a few things. I got a large salad because I was hungry. I could not finish it. It was too much for one and probably enough for two if they are not big eaters the chicken skewer was delicious with perfectly seasoned chicken which was cooked perfectly as well. It is so unusual to get skewers to taste this good and even more so in a restaurant that is not so fancy. By the way, when I say not so fancy because I ate and I was served on regular plates, not paper. The falafel was not the best I had but far from the worst. I prefer a bit more of the Middle Eastern flavors, but I found it very satisfying and happily ate it all. The greens, the olives, the hot peppers, everything in the salad was delicious. They did not overdress the salad, so it was not soggy like many ordered and The people that took the order were really nice and friendly, and they brought my food to me at the table. They have beverages which I enjoyed. It was surprisingly uncrowded, but there seem to be an excellent takeout business as they were constantly sending bags out I have bookmarked this is a place to stop when I am driving by. It is not inexpensive, but it is well priced for the quality that they give you. Highly recommend recommended. restaurants.
