Baked Bibbee, Fattoush, Red Pepper Hummus with fresh pita
Julie R.

We stopped at this small and quaint place for lunch. We shared a few Lebanese specialties - red pepper hummus, fattoush salad, and baked bibbee. Our waitress was attentive and helpful and brought our food out relatively quickly. We enjoyed all three immensely. The fresh fattoush salad had a delightful sumac dressing and crunchy pita pieces. The hummus was well balanced and flavored. The bibbee was hearty with a unique sweet and savory taste.

Shouf's has always been a go-to option for my family. This was my first dine-in experience and I felt right at home. Parking was easy and didn't have to wait at all for a 5pm table on a Saturday, but it certainly got busy shortly thereafter, and I can understand why - I don't remember our waitress's name, but she made it seem like we were family! I ordered the moussaka - I've never had it before anywhere else, so I don't have much to compare it to, but it was very rich, filling, and flavorful. We waited a while for our food but didn't have a problem making the delicious plate of baba gannoush and pita disappear in front of us.

Lamb shank, me to thank.

The menu lists many meat, seafood, and vegetarian options, and the chefs can accommodate customers on gluten-free and vegan diets. Examples of menu items are lentil soup, babaghanoush, falafel, shepherd salad, lamb chops, many kebabs, sea bass, sautés, house-made desserts such as baklava, and non-alcoholic beverages. My husband and I ate one lunch here. Indoor and covered outdoor seating was available. The employees promptly greeted and seated us, and I appreciated that they recommended specific menu items to help me choose. After a reasonable wait, the foods were brought to our table. Here are my ratings for what we ordered: Grilled Shrimp - 5 stars - Several large, juicy shrimp were on skewers and had been perfectly cooked. Sides were mixed vegetables and a mix of rice and bulgur. Chicken Shish Kebab - 4 stars - The chunks of chicken were large and juicy and had a mild seasoning. On the side was rice pilav. Turkish Tea - 4.5 stars - This black tea was a good size and was served hot. Packets of sweeteners were available. The total price was $55 plus tax and tip.

I started with a half order of their Greek salad. The salad came out looking pretty good and even though it was very lightly dressed, it tasted vibrant and bright from the cheese and olives on it. I wanted to get some more dressing, but the server didn't come back to ask how things were and she just kept walking by, not even looking for me to wave down. Overall, the salad was decent, but it did need a little more dressing. The kabob came up next and it looked ok. The kabob itself was more on the bland side... I didn't taste herbs and spices at all, more like just grilled meat. The bulgar was excellent and offered lots of flavor, so I tried to eat some with each fork of kabob I bit into. This dish came with a pretty large salad too, which was slightly depressing looking, with some wilted lettuce in it. I also tried their Turkish Tea to start and really liked that. Overall, the service was friendly, just not attentive at all. The venue looks welcoming and warm. Menu has many great options, I feel like I just tried the wrong thing.

We then walked upstairs and found that the entrance was actually on the other side of the building but accessible from the front. It's an interesting place when you walk in. We were quickly greeted and seated. It seemed as though the owner and family were working. The menu was interesting, not real large but sufficient. We had, who I believe is the owner, come to our table and ask what we typically like to eat and then she was making suggestions. We thought she was just being helpful. My wife finally looked at her and said, I'm sorry are you also taking flour order now? She replied well that's what I was trying to do. To me that was a little off putting. We all took her suggestions and ordered. The food came out fresh and warm. It was good. We all tried each others meals. We felt that what my wife ordered was the best. The place isn't huge inside but it was fairly busy. It was a little pricey but not bad.

Recently visited the Mike & Tony's Gyros location in Bridgeville. I have heard about this place and…read moreprobably driven by a million times, being that I live fairly close, but finally got the chance to enjoy a meal here and see what it is all about. Mike & Tony's is a Greek-style restaurant that is locally owned and operated. It began in the South Side of Pittsburgh over 50 years ago, and has since grown into 6 total locations throughout the region. They are known for their fresh lamb, gyros, and Greek cuisine. In addition to the food, they offer a full-service bar. This specific Mike & Tony's location is in the Great Southern Shopping Center off of Washington Pike in Bridgeville. From 79, it is right off of the Collier exit. The restaurant sits on the right side of the complex once you enter from Washington Pike, in the same building as the Texas Roadhouse. It is the corner unit on the left, next to what was formerly Joann Fabrics. If you know how to navigate to this large shopping center, it will be relatively simple to locate the restaurant. Since this is within a large complex, there is ample parking. The corner unit location provides parking spots in front of the entrance, as well as on the left-hand side of the building. I would be shocked if you had an issue finding an adequate parking spot when coming here. The restaurant is a quaint space with various types of seating available. We personally sat at a booth during this visit, for which there are several in the back. They also have traditional bar seating, bar-height 4-top tables, and patio seating outdoors. You will find a hostess stand at the front, and they will seat you from there. I ate lunch here with my fiance on this day, and we arrived at the restaurant around 11:45 AM on a Friday in September. It was not too busy at all, and we were immediately seated. To start, we ordered the Baked Spinach Pie as an appetizer. This is usually something we try at all of the Greek places we eat at, since it is one of my fiance's favorite Greek items. This one was delicious. The phyllo dough was nice and flaky, and complimented the spinach and feta very well. It was a good size for us to share as an appetizer, though if you want your own I would very much understand! For my entree, I opted for the Gyro Salad Pittsburgh-Style with Ranch. I liked that they had a lot of different options for the salad, and you could get them in either the Greek or the Pittsburgh-Style. I am usually not a huge fan of olives, so I liked having the choice of something without them for the salad. My salad was awesome! I thought it was a generous potion with a lot of lamb and toppings to fill you up. I appreciated the pita bread on the side as well. It was very good when paired with the lamb. I even had enough to take some home with me to enjoy again for another meal! My fiance ordered the classing Gyro Sandwich, and subbed the French Fries for Onion Rings as the side. This thing was huge! It was stuffed with lamb, fresh vegetables, and a nice helping of cheese on top. I got to try his, and really did enjoy it. It is a good size for a hearty lunch. I truthfully loved everything we ordered. Our entrees were very well-prepared with quality and fresh ingredients. The French Fries and the Onion Rings were tasty, and of course the Baked Spinach Pie was flaky and flavorful. Definitely an awesome meal overall. When our order was brought out, my fiance got French Fries with his Gyro instead of the Onion Rings he ordered. We let our waiter know, and he was very apologetic and corrected it immediately. We had Onion Rings out within minutes, and he even let us keep the French Fries. Really appreciate his efforts, and it made our meal that much better knowing that there was that sense of care from the staff. The service here was so fast! We had our food within 15 minutes of ordering. Our waiter was very kind, helpful, and quick to solve our minor issue. Very much a stellar experience overall in terms of customer service! I believe you are getting a good value when dining at Mike & Tony's. Most of the appetizers were between $9 and $13, and I did not see an entree that was over $20, plus most come with a side of French Fries. Most of the desserts were under $5. Including the drinks, our meal was under $50. Which, in today's world, is a good deal for a sit down meal out. I was pleasantly surprised with how good of a value this place is. I am very glad that my fiance suggested this place to have lunch at. He had been before, and raved about it, so we took this opportunity to go together. The food was very high-quality, fresh, and simply delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and family-friendly. Service and staff were both an A+. I definitely will be returning to this spot in the future, as it is not too far from me. Highly recommend visiting Mike & Tony's Gyros in Bridgeville the next time you are in the area, or simply want some awesome Greek cuisine.

Am looking forward to being back! My server was Tolia (sorry if I'm misspelling/misremembering) and she did an AMAZING job. She was super friendly, made awesome menu recommendations and was a delight to chat to. She recommended I start with the char grilled octopus and this was delicious. It came with capers and a grilled lemon and olive oil and was beautifully presented. The potion was easily finished by just me, so if you have more than 2 people I'd recommend getting more than 1 order of these. It's so delicious. I was then picking between the pastitsio and the moussaka. I was told they both have a strong nutmeg flavor which was not a problem for me. I decided on the moussaka and it was so delicious. It did have a strong nutmeg flavor but not in an overwhelming way. It came with a bechamel sauce on top and layers of eggplant with ground beef tomato and potato. It sort of reminded me of a shepherds pie if you're not as familiar with Greek food. The portion was HUGE - could easily split between 2. I ate almost half of it but couldn't eat the rest although I wish I could've. It was so good. The cocktail I ordered was a nectar spritz (something with "nectar" in the title at least) and genuinely was one of the best cocktails I've had. Definitely beat every other one I had in Pittsburgh this week by FAR. So yummy. I was so impressed with every aspect of my dining experience and would definitely be back!

I am from Detroit where Mediterranean food means accessible, quick shwarma and hummus- easy peasy. I walked in and asked for 2 chicken shwarmas to go. The hostess looked at me like I had two heads. I asked for a menu, looked at it and then asked "This is a Mediterranean place, right?" After explaining what I wanted she recommended the meatball sandwich. Meatball sandwich? As my husband approached I explained the options and he asked "This is a Mediterranean place, right?" After debating to leave or not, we agree to wait 15-20 minutes for a chicken pita handheld, described in the pic. We receive our order and it's two flatbreads (see pic). We inquire and the hostess emphatically says we ordered the flatbread. (My husband detests olives so I can assure you he didn't order the olive laden flatbread prepared for us. ). She full on argued with us. We don't eat white bread and cheese for any meal so we 100% did not order this. I can't say the flatbread with no chicken at all but loaded with olives tasted bad (well, my husband would) but the sheer lack of accountability for full on screwing up our order is unacceptable. One more question, in Pennsylvania is "Gyro"pronounced (GI-Roh)? So, maybe in Pennsylvania meatballs sandwiches, crab cakes and sausage sandwiches are Mediterranean, if perhaps that is not what you are looking for, keep looking.
