The lady at the cash register was unfriendly and kept using her phone while customers were dining and waiting for food. I didn't mind it too much until she was handed my food, and she went from touching her phone to putting a container of sauce inside the fries container. I'm sorry but no, if you are going to be handling food too, you shouldn't be touching your phone and then the food without sanitizing your hands. She seemed so annoyed to help and was clearly more interested in her phone. Food was decent but the bad service was a turn off.

I opted for the kale Cesar salad and added chicken on as a protein. The chicken is available in both crispy or roasted option. The salad was made quickly and I'm sure I could have added additional toppings but I will have to do my research next time. For the price of the salad, I expected the bowl to be more packed than it was. The bowl was on the light side and they add the chicken at the bottom so it seems like adding the chicken is not really worth it. I did appreciate the salad dressing being added to your liking but I don't know if I would try the kale Cesar again.

The quality and flavors are consistently excellent--hands down some of the best salads around.

My favorites are definitely the Steak Taco Salad and Spicy Avocado Salad!!

Otherwise I definitely recommend this place for takeout. Also, the price is amazing, very affordable. Tip: I definitely recommend getting an extra serving of the macaroni salad. It's so delicious.

But this guy has ZEROOOOOOOO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS Now the only good thing I can say is that the decor has gotten better and looks a lot better aesthetically. But that all I can say. Food wise it's ok bit problem is that there is 0 customization. Like you are pretty much penalized for doing any customization which is ridiculous and for example if I get a rice bowl it's like 80% of the bowl. So you are paying for an expensive bowl of rice.

Truthfully, we didn't know it was a Greek grill spot until we were craving Gyros. Gyro was awesome (ask for extra tzatziki or add it to the gyro) We didn't get anything else this time. The store is clean and has a couple dine in tables. But the real move is to call your order in for pick it up! Probably our move for future Vienna festivals, parties etc. Staff was great...super friendly. Price was reasonable...cheaper than Chinese and healthier. Happy to find a new local spot.

Plaka Grill specializes in gyros and Greek fast food. We ordered gyro platters that came in a bed…read moreof rice with a side salad included. It was our first time ordering pork-meat gyros and they were really good. We ordered a side of Greek roasted potatoes, as well as French fries. Those potatoes were excellent. They were full of tasty flavor. Lastly, we ordered a chicken gyro platter. It was good too. The pork meat gyro was delicious too. Where Plaka Grill fell down for me was on the side dishes. The salad was wilted and plated in the same container as the meat and rice. The steam from the other hot dishes could have caused the wilting. I was not a fan of the rice either. The other people in our party were fine with the rice, so maybe it was just me. I have heard about Plaka Grill as a family dining destination. I think looking at the reviews and sharing my experience, they need to revamp a few items. We still enjoyed our meal and the portions were generous. I am so sorry that I forgot to take pictures.

I upgraded my side to thin onion strips, which were incredibly thin and light (as they should be!) and served with Ned's sauce - delicious! My partner had the clam strip platter with fries and cole slaw. The clam strips reminded me of trips to the sound/shore for seafood dinners (and still tasted great as leftovers). The fries seem homemade/pressed in-house and the slaw was fabulous. Refreshing, not heavy or mayonaisy. We rounded out our dinners with NE canned beers - Fat Orange Cat and Jack's Abby (a crisp Bavarian lager, tastes like you're at a hoffbrauhaus).

The food started out really good until I got a forkful of hair in my meal…read more I called the restaurant to let them know what happened. It took a while to explain that I wasn't looking for a refund--I simply wanted a replacement meal. I live about 30 minutes away, so picking up the replacement required an hour-long round trip. While I was there, I also asked for a side of rice for my son's meal. I had accidentally ordered the chicken over salad instead of the chicken over rice, so I requested a side of rice to go with his food. Given that I was already making a second trip because of the hair in my meal, I thought the restaurant might extend the courtesy of comping the $5 side of rice. Instead, I was charged for it. The charge itself wasn't the main issue--it was the principle. After having to drive an hour round trip because of a mistake with my original meal, I felt that waiving the cost of a small side of rice would have been a reasonable gesture of goodwill. I'm not sure if it was a misunderstanding, a communication issue, or simply a missed opportunity for good customer service, but the overall experience left me disappointed.
