Cheese burgers, fried mushrooms and chili cheese fries
Alex L.

The Lucky Greek IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES IN RIVERSIDE! Their food is always fresh! im obsessed with their burgers and fried mushrooms. They have soo many options to choose from too which I love. 20/10! This is the subbed out fried mushrooms the portions are such a good size too! Love the staff too always friendly!

Delicious food sometimes it's hit or miss on certain food items but the potatoes or hash browns never miss.

Bacon cheeseburger and onion rings
Terry F.

The freshest ingredients and ridiculous portions. We pick up food because they don't deliver. It's a bit tricky to get to but worth the effort.

Number 3 in breakfast menu

I actually enjoyed My biscuits and gravy 2 sausages and scrambled eggs 11 bucks plus tax

The iceberg lettuce used was browning, it was old. I spent 21$ on this greek salad! Chicken was not bad! But the lettuce is old which disgusted me. They added 3 olive and called it a Greek salad . Overloaded with w feta cheese

Fried Zucchini

I absolutely love this place! So glad for this little gem that's by my job. We decided to come for lunch and I love their gyro. Everything I've had from here is made fresh and so good. They do charge extra for ranch but it's thick and good so it's worth it. They have inside and outside seating. Lots of parking and they have a drive thru. They have free refills on drinks. The service is great and friendly. The portions are huge and shareable. You won't regret coming here.

I recently moved to the area, and while trying to find a great Mediterranean spot, this place popped up. Is there anything on the menu relatively close to actual Greek food?

Where is your menu?

Hello Teena. Great question. We currently have been working on adding things to the menu. Once our menu is completed we will post it. Thank you for reaching out!

Can you order walk up or order ahead takeout? Or are you strictly drive through at the moment?

Yes, we do offer the option to call ahead and make a phone order.

Came to Greek Street Grill randomly and this turned out to be a solid find…read more The service was on point, portions were generous, and everything was reasonably priced. Even though it was busy it was easy to find a spot to sit. The place was very clean. I got the gyro sandwich and the meat was tender, flavorful, and they definitely don't skimp on it. We also tried the spicy feta fries and those were really good. The fries were nice and crispy and the feta dip had a nice flavor to it with some olive notes mixed in. Definitely a good combo. Overall, good food, good portions, good service, and you're not spending a fortune. Sometimes the random spots end up being the best finds. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area.

It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking and there is plenty of seating indoors as well. The ambiance is clean and casual, felt almost like a fast food place. You order at the counter and the workers will bring the food to your table. For food, I tried the chicken souvlaki plate with their fries and salad. I also got the calamari appetizer. The calamari was delicious. Crispy, tasty, juicy. The chicken souvlaki plate unfortunately fell short of my expectations. While the fries were crispy and the salad was good, the chicken was really dry and lacked flavor. My brother got the chicken and steak pita and thought the same thing for both proteins.

It's a reliable, comforting meal. ​The Room for Improvement: ​Harsh Chemicals & Vacuuming: While keeping things sanitary is important, using a very strong, harsh disinfecting spray on nearby tables and vacuuming the carpets while customers are still actively eating is a major turn-off. The chemical smell is overpowering and makes it hard to enjoy the food. ​Overall, it's a great spot for a casual, affordable bite--they just need to switch to milder cleaners and save the vacuuming for after guests have finished their meals!

Tried Georgie's Mediterranean in Riverside and it definitely delivered…read more I got a chicken shawarma bowl with fries as the base, and also a plate with both chicken and beef shawarma. The bowl was really good using fries instead of rice honestly made it hit way harder. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and everything on top tied together really well without feeling too heavy. The combo plate was just as solid. The chicken was tender, the beef had a nice char and flavor, and both tasted fresh. Portions were generous too--definitely didn't feel like they were skimping. Everything tasted authentic and well-made, not dry or bland like some Mediterranean spots can be. Sauces brought it all together without overpowering the meat. Service was quick and the spot has a casual, no-frills vibe--just good food that comes out fast. Overall, really solid Mediterranean spot in Riverside. Good portions, good flavor, and worth coming back to.

We were feeling Mediterranean and decided to try out a new place…read more First off the service and delivery were great. The food arrived on time, the order was correct, and it came all the way from Riverside. I'm not sure on the ambiance because I had the food delivered. As for the food, i opted for the combo plate. It came with 3 pieces of steak, chicken, and 1 Kefta kabob, rice, 2 sides, and pita bread. They have a lot of sides to choose from but I don't like that there's an up charge to substitute salad for rice so I got the rice. I love that they allow you to select how you want your beef cooked. I ordered Medium and it was cooked perfectly. The kefta kabob was well seasoned and packed full of Mediterranean spices (delicious). The chicken was full of flavor, cooked all the way through and tender. The rice was full of flavor. I've never had Mediterranean food with rice like this. You may or may not like it. I enjoyed the extra flavor than just having white rice. The tabbouleh was fresh and gave my meal some brightness. The pita bread was a disappointment for me. You could tell it's store bought or not freshly made. You can taste the flour or starch on it. It was dry and not good. It reminded me of the Pita bread in the bakery section of food4less. The other disappointing element to my meal was the cucumber yogurt (tzatziki) I don't like that the cucumber was cubed and it was watery. It lacked that cucumber flavor and it appeared to be prepared watered down intentionally. It was even lacking that tart yogurt taste because it was so thinned out. Overall, it was still a fairly good meal. I would suggest making or buying better pita bread. I would be willing to try it again because the meat was delicious and I'd get hummus instead of the cucumber yogurt.

The Mediterranean salad is always fresh, the service is friendly, and the food never disappoints.

I've continued giving this place chances because I used to enjoy the food, but my most recent experience was genuinely the breaking point. I paid almost $80 for a family of four combo, and the quality was unacceptable for what I spent. The rice was severely undercooked, and the "grilled vegetables" were practically raw. The only things that tasted remotely normal were the chicken, tzatziki and pita bread. For nearly $80, I shouldn't have to settle for food that feels rushed and poorly prepared. To make matters worse, I asked for sumac and was given ONE packet. For a family of four combo? Are we being serious right now? It's the little things like this, combined with the consistently declining food preparation quality, that make the entire experience frustrating. It's genuinely disappointing to watch a place you've been going to for years go downhill like this. I understand that prices increase, but when customers are paying this much, the quality and portions of everything should reflect that. At this point, I can't justify spending my money here anymore. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because this is not the experience longtime customers should be having.

I've had halal kabobs from restaurants all over SoCal and the country and this place is still my favorite. It's a great option for catering (I always get the family platter pictured) and this was my go to place when we lived nearby - the flavors are tasty but not too overpowering so it works for all guests no matter their spice preference. We still drive up to 30 mins to cater from here because the food is always so good and a reliable hit with any guests that we have over. FOOD: The meat is not just flavorful but most importantly, it's somehow always just so moist, so juicy, and so tender all the way through. And it's not just the meats - every item they serve is just really unexpectedly delicious. At most kabob places, the rice/pita/salad/hummus are just weak add ons to fill up the plate, but these items are always so delicious at Kabob House and you can always taste the flavor bursting in every item (my fav is the salad which has a lemon/vinegary kick to it that just elevates the meal). All the items on the menu are great, but my personal favorite is the salmon kabob (if you've never had a salmon kabob, do yourself a favor and try it out and at least add one skewer of it if you get a combo) - the owner recommended this to me years ago, and I've always added at least a couple skewers every time since - all my guests rave about it. SERVICE/AMBIANCE It's a small casual family owned restaurant and the service is always super friendly. You can see the food being made fresh behind the counter which shows their confidence - it's clear they take immense pride in the quality of all their items and are eager to share their food and Palestinian heritage. The price is also exceptional value for the quantity of food you get, especially compared to other similar restaurants. OVERALL: I will continue to eat from here and would highly recommend trying it out.
