    Turkey melt

    Where's the meat? 35 year customer and sadly reporting that everything has declined. Food quality and service has consistently dropped. Jackson has lost so many legendary restaurants and this will soon join the ranks of history.

    not sure why Keifer's isn't scored higher on the rating scale?? to me the food is consistently great, service is friendly and attentive and the prices can't be beat. you have the option of indoor or outdoor seating. i would like to see a few more choices for sides. the cottage fries they offer are my least favorite item. the pita mozzarella is one of my favorites and after 3 on tuesdays and thursdays is half price.

    Our work group had Friday lunch at Keifer's in Madison. The food and service was great!

    Pits are the pits, are they in cahoots with the local dentists or something?

    I was excited to try this place! My excitement was short lived... SEASONING PEOPLE!! can we have some salt and pepper on the food? Gyro sandwich tasted like beef jerky, chicken tasted plain and boring. And these potato things.... WTH? Take a giant potato, slice it and deep fry it. No seasoning and didn't even bother to make sure the pieces weren't stuck together. Pretty gross and not even crispy :( I'll stick with FILOs! Keiffers has some things to work on before I come back here. Server was nice... patio with A/C was nice, food bombed. Oh, and the olives have pits so watch your teeth!

    Hummus. Refrigerator cold. Not fresh. Made the day before.

    If you have even the slightest experience with Mediterranean food then the offerings here are not what you're expecting. The hummus, falafel, and gyro are just...Mississippized. We probably won't return intentionally. We have friends that don't know any better who like this food so we'll probably join them to socialize if they prefer it. The young girl serving us was obviously new at this. Very pushy and rushing us. You'd think if they could afford such a nice building that they could afford experienced servers.

A review for another time but once I left the glass place I needed comfort food. I love kebab. A friend was married to an Iranian guy and I got hooked on kebab, basmati and warm flatbread. I go in prepared to break my no flour program but I saw the salads and realized that I wasn't going to let the poor customer service experience at the glass place let me make bad choices. I was greeted by the sweetest young lady who offered to make recs for me before she left for my tea. I ordered the Lulu Greek salad add chicken shwarma. I asked her to keep the pita bread. Insert me sobbing here. It was hard but I did it. Man was that salad phenomenal. Chicken breast that had a nice crust on it but was not dry. Crisp vegetables. A delicious oil and vinegar based dressing. So much food. Excellent service. Very clean. Mediterranean music playing very low in the background. I cannot wait to return and try kebab with warm pita, rice and hummus but today my blood sugar thanked me for the good choices

    Good little Mediterranean spot in Jackson. We happened upon this place by chance as my lunch…read morecompanion said that it had just reopened recently after being closed for a while. We were headed to the place behind it, but I think they were closed on Mondays. Server was good. No issue there. She was attentive, helpful, and very efficient. It's kind of a hole in the wall kind of place. No real attention to the look inside really, but I don't care anything about that. We started with a colorful hummus dish and falafel for appetizers. The falafel was fantastic! It might have been the best I have ever had. Loved it!! Hummus was great too! I had the Combo plate for lunch. It had gyro meat and the driest chicken I've ever tried to eat. Gyro was pretty crunchy too. It came with more hummus, a salad with a great dressing, and some rice. It was just ok. It dampened the whole experience. I'm sure if it were fresh and tender, it would have been great. Forgot to snap a pic. I'd eat there again if I ever stumbled across it again. Probably would not seek it out though. '25 - 21/111

The line was taking forever, so I ended up using the kiosk to place my order. After ordering, I sat down thinking the food would be brought out, but later found out it had actually been sitting in the pickup area in a bag the whole time. That just added to the confusion. Once I finally got the food, it was disappointing. The gyro meat was subpar at best. It tasted stale, almost old, and instead of being warm, soft, and flavorful, it was kind of crispy and dry. The yellow rice also wasn't very good. It had a chewy texture and just didn't feel fresh. Trying to look past the service and food, I will say the atmosphere is nice and it's in a really cool area. But overall, the experience just didn't live up.

The ambiance and service weren't exactly as expected. Orders must be placed before sitting down and you take your own order number to the table. Beverages are self service. We ordered four whole pan trouts with fries and a side of okra. The fish initially looked amazing. The top two pieces of fish were as expected. However, underneath were disappointing thick big honks of fish. Actually, two huge fish were cut into half and counted as four whole fish. I was immediately turned off seeing those big hunks of fish buried under the desirable and scrumptious looking whole fish. When asked if everything was okay, an honest response was given. The excuse was that due to the size of the fish, it would cost more to get all four whole. What a poor excuse! If it cost more, charge more and give what's advertised on the menu or at least an option; not a surprise. The menu should have stated: two whole fish and pieces equivalent to four. The whole fish was very good, seasoned and fried to perfection. However, we could not eat the hunks. We didn't expect to see anything but whole fish, as described on the menu. If I return, I would only order one whole fish with hopes of receiving just that. I would never waste my money on the four whole fish listed on the menu, since it is not as described and expected.
