JUST WOW! I am seriously impressed! I honestly did not expect to find Greek / Mediterranean type food this good in Yucaipa. The Fat Greek definitely exceeded my expectations. FIVE THUMBS UP! We started with the falafel balls, dolmades, and hummus with pita bread. All three appetizers were delicious! What a great way to start our meal. They definitely set the bar high. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken gyro and the beef kabob plate. The chicken gyro was pretty good! Great flavors, although the chicken was a little on the dry side. I would personally give the chicken gyro 4 stars. Now, the beef kabob was a different story. Flavorful, tender, and absolutely delicious! My only complaint? THE PRICE! At $25.99, I expected a little more than just ONE beef kabob with a generous amount of rice, salad, and pita bread on top. My wife and I LOVE Mediterranean food, and we've been to plenty of places that offer two meat selections with rice, salad, AND hummus for around $25. So compared to what we're used to, this plate definitely felt overpriced. But here's the thing. GOOD FOOD IS GOOD FOOD! Despite my complaints about the portion sizes and pricing, I couldn't bring myself to give this place anything less than 5 stars. The quality of the food, the delicious flavors, and those amazing appetizers really won us over. Would I love to see more meat for that price? ABSOLUTELY! But would I come back? WITHOUT A DOUBT! The Fat Greek, you impressed us! Keep up the delicious food, but maybe show a little more love with those meat portions! read more

Excellent food, but at $24 to $26 for most popular items, this place is GROSSLY Overpriced.......close to double what you would normally pay at other Greek fast food locations. WHY? Pre-Covid this place was affordable.....but NO longer for we seniors on a limited budget. read more

DELICIOUS! 10/10 experience. Their entire building, from the moment you arrive to the moment you enter, is curated to teleport you into a little piece of Greece. I tried the Bbq Pita. So much meat, very tender, and full of flavor. When I saw it was approx $18, initially i thought it was kinda pricy. But after receiving and finishing my order, i realized it's worth every penny. The delicious lamb was OVERFLOWING out the pita. Friendly staff as well. My Only small complaint is that it was a bit stuffy in there , like if the a/c wasn't fully on or something. Either way, i'd come back anyway! read more

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

Fresh ingredients, down-to-earth owners, and big portions! The food was delicious. Mostly everything was made from scratch, even the mozzarella sticks. I also fell in love with their tzatziki sauce, so good! We ended up talking to one of the brothers who owns the restaurant and he was very kind and told us a little bit about his business and how everything started. The inside of the restaurant has a very homey feel and though the food takes a while to come out, its taste is very fresh. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into the quality of their dishes. Don't let the prices steer you away because the portion lasted me two meals! I would recommend this to anyone and will go back for sure read more

My parents have been here a few times but this past Thursday was my first time going and it was awesome! The staff here is so nice and willing to explain what everything is and the food is super super delicious. It held up really nicely when I went to reheat it for my lunch at work later on that night. The falafel and spanakopita were still crispy. My favorite thing was probably their baklava cheesecake. It tasted like baklava, a cinnamon roll, and a cheesecake all mixed together. 100/10 experience from here. read more

The Fat Greek - Falafel Plate - Greek Near Me - Yucaipa, California

My first time trying out this place. I choose to do the drive through. Oh my the menu is extensive, so many choices. I had a taste for the Gyro and noticed there was a Philly cheese steak Gyro on the menu. Well you guessed it my friend that was my choice. Cooked to order so you will have a bit of a wait...however the wait time was well worth it ! That was one of the best Gyros I'v had in a long time. Also it was huge and took me 3 days to finish. Absolutely delicious, everything about it ! Customer service was kind & friendly. I was given a $5 dollar coupon to use when I come back. So if you are ever in the area and you have a taste for a Gyro....This is the place ! Thank you for fulfilling my need and just know that ....I'll Be Back !!! Chef Ann read more

The Fat Greek - Philly Cheese Steak Gyro from "The Fat Greek" .in Yucapia - Greek Near Me - Yucaipa, California

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

Best Greek food outside of Greece that I have ever had. The gyro was giant and delicious. Had it for 2 meals. Also had the salad and it was also delicious. My daughter had a sampler plate that she loved The service is excellent and the owner is so kind and helpful. Thank you for the wonderful experience read more

I ordered the hummus with pita and it was delicious. Will come back again. Friendly staff and very clean.

We stopped here to eat lunch coming back from apple picking and were AMAZED! The gyros were incredible!

We *love* the Fat Greek! Hands down the most flavorful and tender meat we've had, especially the gyro. Huge portions, might be pricey but definitely worth it. Have gotten dine in and takeout, and service for both were excellent. Love the baklava shake and the gyro burrito! 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

The Fat Greek - Spicy feta hummus - Greek Near Me - Yucaipa, California

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

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

Wonderful family owned and run restaurant. Authentic greek food so delicious you'll forget you are in Yucaipa! Try everything its all great!

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

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

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

The Fat Greek is my new favorite!! I have been telling myself to go there for ages!! Finally made it!!! This place has amazing food, not just Greek, they have a variety, smash burgers, salads, chicken etc. DID YOU ALL KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A FULL BAR, WITH HAPPY HOUR??? I request the picture on their fb page. I said "I want to order this picture, lol" He brought the exact plate as pictured. It was absolutely delicious!!! DEFINITELY A HIDDEN GEM!! 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 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

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

Great spot to eat at whe returning from Vegas! Authentic Greek food the whole family can enjoy! Indoor and outdoor seating!

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

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

I love to support local business but The Fat Greek has really gone downhill. I understand everything is expensive but no way can I afford $60 for 3 people. First the cashier got the order wrong and charged almost $7 for a side of fries. Also if you take children in there be careful with the electrical wires. Split wire and a hanging plug is not safe. Also there are cats around the property that a friend said go inside the restaurant. 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
