One of my favorite spots in Yucaipa really good food haven't had one bad order and great owners and staff

It was a good time revisiting an old regular for me! As expected, prices are higher but I feel like it is correspondent to the amount of food that I got! It was flavorful and delicous! Did drive thru and there was a little bit of a wait, probably around 10 mins until I got my food. Service is still very nice and friendly! read more

Can't miss the Fat Greek's bright blue lights at night on Yucaipa Blvd. Blue in Greece's flag represent vast sky and sea.. Was visiting family in this area during Christmas week and checked out this Greek eatery that also has American and Mexican food items on the menu. This place is a taste of Greece in the small suburb of Yucaipa. Decades ago, the building actually used to an A&W It is fast casual so you order at the counter. The order taker and her coworker on a Friday evening were kind and friendly. I actually don't remember if my hubby had to grab the tray at the counter or if they brought it to us. Food is fresh and tasty. Hubby got the gyro plate which were generous portions along with fries and a fountain drink. I just wanted a Greek salad easy on the onions and they did just that. Although all was well with food and service, price points are high for fast casual food. This is more like a 3.6 stars rounded up to 4. read more

Food is excellent and came as it should. Wish prices these days didn't go so high. However, not sure why they have a drive thru that I attempted. I was only one there and it took 30 mins to make two dishes. I have worked in quick food restaurants and could of made it faster. Also if going to be that long then they should say so and had me park somewhere or come back when ready. I had errands I could of done. So note to others, order ahead. I thought of going there last min, or I would of done that. read more

I'm fairly new to the area and figuring out where all the good spots are. I happened to hear someone mention this place, I decided to check it out. I'm a sucker for a good gyro and this place definitely didn't disappoint. I've gotten the same order here now three separate times and the taste and consistency of the food has been spot on. The food arrived hot and of course tasted amazing. The staff was super friendly the times I have been here and I also observed them showing the same kindness to others throughout the restaurant. It definitely makes the place feel nuch more personable in contrast to the average food chains where you feel like you're just another person ordering food. This has become one of my favorites in the area so far. If you love Greek food in a casual setting, I would highly recommend it. read more

The food tastes really good with large portions but be ready to pay A LOT of money for your meal. $5 for lemonade. $11 for a shake. $25 for a Gyro plate or 1/2 lemon chicken meal. $4 for a side of Pita because it doesn't come with the $14 lemon chicken lunch special. And watch out for the automatic tip added unless you decline it. We ordered an $11 shake and she added a $3 tip to it. Yikes! read more

Wow!! I have not been here in many years. That is no joke. So I saw a picture of the falafel burger. I was instantly hooked on trying it. I have never had falafel before. I am broadening my food horizons. they say people eat with their eyes and with this I actually ate it with my mouth. Man it was good! So it all started when I walked through the door. People were friendly and helpful when ordering. So I ordered the falafel burger to eat there. Then I also ordered hummus with pita bread to go. The falafel burger came out nice and hot. Had cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, with feta, and tzatziki sauce. Altogether, I was really impressed. Especially for something I have never had before. To be honest I would order it again. I'm not a vegetarian as I do love eating meat. Let me tell you though this falafel burger was great. The place definitely looks bigger from the outside, but don't let that fool you as it's nice on the inside. Once I got home I did try the hummus with the pita bread. I got it to go for my lunch tomorrow at work. I did try a little bit and it was really good. I would also order hummus from here again. Thank you very much for a great visit. I definitely will be back. read more

I was in Yucaipa with my husband and some friends from church for an event and decided to stop by The Fat Greek for lunch. First, the staff is super friendly and welcoming which is always a plus. You order your food at the cash register, find a booth to sit at, and the staff will bring out the food to your table. I decided on get a ribeye steak pita sandwich. It comes with steak strips, lettuce, onion, tomato, and tzatziki sauce. I added feta for an extra charge. The ribeye was grilled to perfection! I also got a side fries to share with my husband. He decided to get a ribeye steak sandwich and said it's one of the best he's ever had. My friends got a burger with tater tots, tater tots topped with feta and garlic for their son, and a mixed veggie plate. The mixed veggie plate came with falafel, gigandes, dolmades, tabouli, hummus, rice, and pita bread. They enjoyed their food as well. I love that they carry Stubborn sodas as well. They have a small bar area with a couple of TV's showing videos of Greece and some funny/action videos. I'm so happy we stopped by this restaurant. Next time I'm in Yucaipa, I'll be back to try out more of their menu and some of their Greek desserts! read more

Finally got to come here! And it did not disappoint! Went on a Monday evening. Great menu and they have a lot to choose from. They also have a full bar. They've got TVs and have a couple with beautiful scenes of Greece. Service was impeccable! I believe it was the owner that helped us and he was great. He had recommendations on what to order. He was also very attentive once he brought us our order to the table. Food was great!! I ordered the traditional gyro and it was delicious. Packed with meat! Great flavor. Comes with a side and went with their Greek salad. The Greek vinaigrette was amazing. I also ordered the Spanikopita. Freshly baked from the oven. Nice crunch and it was just really good. Highly recommend coming here! Will definitely be going back! read more

The Fat Greek - Traditional Gyro with the Greek Salad - Greek Near Me - Yucaipa, California

The Fat Greek If Zeus himself had a lunch spot, this would be it. From the moment I walked in, the family-oriented service hit me like a warm Mediterranean breeze. They greeted me with smiles so big I almost forgot about my RBF. I kicked off my feast with the Gyro and a Greek Salad, and let me just say, that salad wasn't just a side dish--it was a main character. The saltiness of the perfectly seasoned meat was tamed by the fresh, crisp, straight-from-Mount-Olympus veggies. Balanced perfection. Now, the Greek fries? Imagine regular fries but with a PhD in deliciousness. And the dolmades--those little wrapped leaves of mystery? I wasn't sure what sorcery was packed inside, but I'm convinced it's some combination of rice, herbs, and pure magic. The cherry on top? They grow all their own produce. Like, who even does that anymore? This place is a one-stop ticket to Greece without the awkward airport security check. Will I go back? Absolutely. I might even bring a toga next time. read more

My friend & I ate an early dinner here. I ordered the gyro burrito and my friend ordered the traditional gyro sandwich. I had realized I ordered and paid for the wrong item, they were able to make the change with the kitchen and gave me cash for the difference! They really went above and beyond for my mix up. Portions were huge and the gyro was flavorful. I couldn't eat all of it, so I took half of it to go. The restaurant was cute with blue booths and the bar had blue back lighting, it really felt like I was on vacation. Haha The staff attentively cleaned tables and checked on tables. Overall a great place to eat! read more

Love Mediterranean food! However, this is not a gourmet restaurant...but they charge gourmet prices. For that reason...we pass. $25 for a salad is not okay. I will trot right to Redlands to a "real" restaurant for those prices. It's good... but I'm not okay with price gouging. I also don't like the way they "advertise" in their yard in Oak Glen...looks tacky...and desperate. read more

Very good greek food. This place ranks my top 5 all time best greek restaurants. I had the lamb kabob plate. The lamb had a great flavor. No lamb taste. Very fresh food. My husband had the gyro and French fries. The fries were really good. And the house made ranch was really good and I'm not a ranch person. Elba the waitress was super friendly and gave us great service. I definitely recommend and I'll be going back next time I'm passing through. read more

The Fat Greek - Greek Near Me - Yucaipa, California

We drove from 20 miles away to pick up food. We have always had great experiences in the past here but unfortunately we don't live very close. Everything was delicious. We split a California gyro, they are huge and very tasty. We also ordered the garlic fries, regular fries and a small side salad. Everything remained delicious even though we had to drive home 20-25 minutes to eat. Fries had an excellent crisp to them and as garlic lovers the smell was amazing too. The salad had a couple wilted leaves but not uncommon with spring mix lettuce. Dressing was great and everything seemed freshly cut. The service was also great, thorough and with a friendly smile. It is not the kind of place you can rush through--which we appreciate as we know everything was made fresh. We wish this business continued success and only wish we lived closer to enjoy their amazing Greek cuisine more often. So many delicious options, highly recommend--may be even better if you're able to dine in. read more

The Fat Greek is a delightful find. The regular stream of customers - even between lunch and dinner - is a testimony to how good the food is. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Lamb Chop dinner. I had the chicken gyro, but it was a bit salty for my taste. Get a menu and order at the bar. There aren't too many wait staff, so we went up to the bar for different requests and questions. There are big TVs on the walls, running videos of scenery from Greece. Totally adds to the feels. It was beautiful during sunset as the sun shone through the window. read more

5/5 Stars: Unforgettable Experience & Huge Flavor in Yucaipa! I stumbled upon The Fat Greek while passing through the city of Yucaipa and I'm so glad I did! This place is easily a five-star experience from start to finish. The delicious food is only matched by the fantastic, personal service. The owner actually took my order and recommended some items, which immediately made me feel welcome. I decided on the Philly Gyro and the Fried Zucchini, and both were amazing. The gyro was massive--huge and absolutely packed with delicious, heavily seasoned meat. Seriously satisfying! The zucchini were fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy, and you have to try the homemade ranch with them; it was also very good. To top it all off, the owner personally met me at the window to thank me for coming. You can genuinely tell how passionate he is about his business. I stopped by on a Saturday night and they even had live music playing outside. It seems like a super fun place to hang out and have a drink. If you are anywhere near the area and want high-quality Greek food, I highly recommend stopping by! read more

We have been coming to the Fat Greek for quite a long time. This last time will be our last. The gyro sandwich was good,but overpriced at $16.65. The salad was mediocre and way overpriced at $16.99 plus $6.99 for chicken. They charge $4.99 for a fountain drink!! Our meal totaled $66.36, that included a tip for ordering at the counter and serving our own fountain drink. We are disappointed in this latest experience. read more

Had a gyro and tzatziki and pita. The gyro was filled with meat and the tzatziki was delicious, fresh, and perfectly spiced. The only complaint I have is not enough onions to balance the silky meat with a fresh crunch of the onion. Additionally, they have a bar which is cool and the bathroom was spotless and clean. Service was great, everyone who helped me was professional and nice. read more

Absolutely amazing food and an unforgettable experience! The owners are personable and it is clear that they care deeply about their customers and the experience they provide for them. The Fat Greek is a family-owned business with genuine owners that treat their customers like they are their own family. The lemon chicken was flavorful, fresh, and fall-off-the bone tender. The spicy feta dip had the perfect amount of spice. But what made the food even better was knowing that it was prepared with love and intent to serve by wholesome people. My family and I left with full bellies, smiles on our faces, and warm hearts. We will be back soon! read more

Was in town recently overnight and wanted some great greek food, so I had lunch here and it was so enjoyable, so good and such great hosts I came back for dinner that evening. Nick and Chris, are great hosts and brothers. This family owned and operated restaurant has been a neighborhood fixture for almost two decades here. Traditional Greece inspired interior, blue and white. Overhead menu boards with daily specials. Walk up counter service. Consistent quality and generous portions and a fair value. I sampled a little bit of everything my two meals there that day. The hummus with pita, excellent. The Dolmades, grape leaves, again excellent, rich and flavorful so good. The lamb, tender and delicious. The greek salad, also freshly prepared, nice greens, rich feta, just a great salad. A great family friendly restaurant that has great service and food, definitely worth a visit and stop 4.5 Stars rounded up for the great hosts 00967 read more

My husband & I read the reviews and pretty much people are on point as far as quality. I ordered their California Gyro and I absolutely love it. The meat was perfectly seasoned, the avocado was so creamy and added great flavor. I also loved the fries. It compliments the Gyro very well. Now my husband couldn't decide between the traditional Gyro and the Pastrami sandwich so he ordered both. He's also glad that he got both, why? Because they were delicious but also because the Gyros are a bit small. So depending on your appetite just know that one Gyro more than likely not fill you up. It definitely filled me up. So we definitely recommend this place. But if we both had to complain about one thing- it would have to be PRICE. Yeah I know- everything now a days is expensive AF. Yes we give this place 2 thumbs up, but it's not a place (because of the price) we would regularly come to. I mean 2 Gyros & 1 Pastrami sandwich came to like almost $60. No drinks, no appetizers, nothing else. read more

When we phoned at 9 on a Sunday , They were supposed to be closing --- but they said to "come on In " quite enthusiastically, as they were "already busy "on Sunday Evening. So friendly . You could tell the owners were running the joint . And it's easy to see why this place gets such GREAT YELP REVIEWS The OWNERS / (also Greeter/counter order taker/ bartender& servers) had an "Upper East Coast"vibe and made us feel welcomed and appreciated . The Drinks (FULL BAR ) , entrees and desert were all SUPERIOR! Such mild lamb was the star of the show ... but the BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE was a dessert to remember. We will most certainly return to this most Excellent, Restaurant! read more
