The Simple Greek does an excellent job at catering! You should definitely check them out for future parties/events. They just catered a huge event I went to and the food was phenomenal. They had fresh tabbouleh, cucumber and tomato salad. Chicken and chopped up portobello mushrooms-my fave. Hummus and the most delicious pita and chips. The rice was well seasoned, I need the recipe. The staff were super friendly and professional. They made everything organized and gave plenty . I appreciate their hard work. Look into them for catering! They don't disappoint! read more

This is the perfect Mediterranean spot! Proper Gyro (yeerow) meat! Good tzatziki! Good accompaniments! Definitely better than Cava any day!

The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing and did not meet my expectations. There's a lot of room for improvement in the quality of the food. I hope they make some changes because I'd like to come back and have a much better experience in the future. read more

We normally frequent this establishment at least once per week. But lately the food has been subpar at best. The gentleman that normally makes our food is great. Tonight a young lady made our 3 Gyros and they were so poorly made. Upon opening our gyros at home I noticed that the meat was dry and the portion was half of what we normally get. The veggies were sparingly tossed in there along with the sauce only being on one end of the sandwich. This was not worth the time, traffic nor money tonight. Please do better. Be consistent with the amount and portion sizes. Very disappointed customer read more

No hello when I made eye contact with the employee there. He was helping someone else at the time. Then he left from behind the counter and sat down with the other guest together. It looked like they were doing a catering conversation. But no one else was there to help me, so I left. read more

Fresh delicious food. Wish it was closer to me but I try to go when I'm in Chesapeake. Wish they made Greek potato salad

Stopped here for the first time. I recall first seeing this one the TV show The Profit with Marcus Lemonis. Love the concept and the food is great! Definitely coming back when I'm in the area. read more

The Simple Greek - Greek bowl build your own - Greek Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This was really delicious and affordable! We aren't often in the Chesapeake area but were looking for an easy carryout dinner after viewing a house nearby. The Simple Greek had a really easy order online option, and the food was ready in less than 10 minutes. My husband did a gyro rice bowl, while I opted for the gyro bowl on spring greens. We both LOVED our dishes! The gyro meat was thick cut and plentiful, toppings fresh and delicious, and it was nice that the bowls also came with pita and 2 sauce options. I did the tzatziki and hummus. Their hummus is so light and fluffy! With 2 bowl entrées and tax, our total was just over $20. Really a great deal considering how fresh and delicious everything was, with good sized portions! read more

Great place for quick health food with lots of flavor! Basically a cava but cheaper and more authentic Greek food. The sun dried tomatoes hummus was out of this world! Service was quick and very nice. read more

I was craving Greek food. Nothing better than some falafels and hummus. I wouldn't say these were the best falafels I have ever had but they were definitely high up on the yummy scale. The lemon chicken bowl is my new favorite bowl. I had the lemon chicken with the white lemon rice and omg so yummy!!! I could literally live on this bowl! My husband had the steak and chicken bowl and he really enjoyed it as well. If you are in the mood for some quick yummy greek food, I highly recommend The Simple Greek!! read more

This is a horrible representation of Greek food. The rice tastes like minute rice, lemon chicken taste like processed bland chicken. Very unclean, I came in to only 3 people at a table, so it wasn't busy, the floors have food all over, tables are filthy, the food area looked a mess. Disgusting!! Real Greeks don't cook like this! Shameful. read more

I love Simple Greek but this location has gone down since the past few times I've been there. Staff must have been going through it today because they were clearly over it the second we walked into the store. We came specifically for their schwarma fries and the girl making our food was cleaning the counters with a glove and white rag, then preceded to prepare our food with the same glove, type on the computer with that glove, etc. During a pandemic? You'd think they'd have better standards. read more

Trash trash trash. When this place first opened, I loved it. Flash forward to today, it's awful. The employees don't know what customer service is, and the menu has dwindled every time I come in. Got rid of white and brown rice. Got rid of potatoes. Got rid of garlic cream sauce. Bowls are smaller than they used to be. It's just not a good experience. I'm going to start going to Cava or Meza now, because I'm just over the employees' attitude and the quality and selection of food. read more

This place is tastier than Cava and Mezeh!! Fresher and better tasting. The staff is friendly here! The signature white sauce reminds me of Halal in NYC so good! read more

The Simple Greek - Gyro and Spicy Falafel Bowl - Greek Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I've eaten at The Simple Greek quite a bit in the past couple of weeks. Their gyro bowls provide a filling lunch option without being too heavy on your stomach. All the ingredients are fresh and delicious as well; furthermore, I can attest that their lamb gyro, chicken gyro, and Mediterranean shrimp bowls are all bomb. The food is good, but what keeps me coming back to The Simple Greek is their impeccable customer service. On my first visit I came in about 30 minutes before they were closing (which was my bad), and I got a Brown rice bowl, everything was delicious but the brown rice tasted dried out and ruined the taste of entire bowl for me, when I went to the counter to explain my discontent, Maiya, was very friendly and had no problems remaking the bowl with a fresh batch of rice (even though they were about to close). Every time I have visited thereafter Maiya has been there with a smile and has really looked out to make sure all my needs are met. In fact, every worker I have encountered has been very friendly and helpful. Overall, The Simple Greek provides good food and even better customer service. read more

The food here is good, don't get me wrong. But we had a pretty rough experience with takeout- we were missing lots of items in our family pack. The great thing was, I called and the manager made it right by offering a free bowl to make up for it. They were really understanding which was so nice! The food we did get was good, really no complaints. Just had to rate the service based on this experience. I hope more good experiences are to come here! read more

Service is good. I was given a refund for my order. Very nice people. I hope to actually go get something in the future as I have been to Simple Greek and adore the food normally. read more

The service wasn't too bad. Reminds me of a chipotle/subway where you select an option and and they run you through the assembly line. The food was good especially the sauces including the garlic cream. Everything was fresh. Loved the garlic green beans. Maybe if the pita was tastier, but overall pretty good, but not a huge fan of the rice. Didn't taste lemon as advertised. Overall, not too bad. read more

This was a no for me dawg (In my Randy Jackson voice). Like all other reviews, it's Chipotle style and had great choices to make your perfect meal. I opted for the traditional gyro. It was dry and bland. The tzatziki sauce was too thick. You can add unlimited toppings on your sandwich or salad so that's a plus. But I didn't enjoy my gyro enough to want to come back. read more

Great quick spot to grab Greek food. Love the hummus and the falafel was delish too! I will be back to try more. Can eat in or takeout.

Gyro. I don't even know what to say besides cold meat and no sauce. Spanakopita was tasty.. I contacted them directly before posting this. Thank you for the restaurant reply. However, that does not convince us to ever return. read more

The Simple Greek - Gyro - Greek Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This is a Greek version of a burrito bar. Its concept is much like Chipotle, Moe's and Qdoba, but instead of the employees making a burrito for you they're making a gyro. Borrowing that concept is kind of genius, actually, because you can typically get in and out within a few minutes. So when it's your turn, you begin by ordering a protein (traditional, chicken, grilled steak or grilled chicken), then you choose your toppings (village salad, feta, red onions, shredded lettuce, pickled onions, red roasted peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, Kalamata olives, garbanzo beans and pepperoncinis). After that, you can choose a sauce (tzatziki, hummus, garlic cream, Greek dressing, spicy red pepper sauce), and then you can top it off with either salt, oregano, olive oil, or vinegar (or all, I assume). The create-your-own-gyro is fun, and I honestly get a kick out of varying things up. This is down the street from my office, so The Simple Greek is convenient. I like the interior because it feels so fresh and new, and the people working there are friendly. The first time I tried them it was packed. I think it was their first week because they had multiple employees working on their assembly line. The lines moved rather swiftly, but you can tell they were still trying to figure everything out. I tried their traditional gyro and I enjoyed it. And because I love cucumbers I was happy to ask for extra cucumbers. On my second visit it wasn't busy at all, and there was only one person on the line and one person at the register (but I was still able to make and complete my order in no time). I tried a gyro with their grilled chicken but it was a little dry. Good flavor, though, but I found myself having to wash it down with each bite. I tried their regular fries, which I enjoyed. Mind you, I love fries of all varieties, so maybe I'm not a good person to ask. Also, they offer desserts like baklava, so if you have a sweet tooth this may do the trick. Overall, I like this place and would recommend for the service and convenience. JV read more

The Simple Greek - Tried out their gyro with tzatziki sauce, cucumbers, red onions and feta. Not bad. - Greek Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I tried to contact them directly before going this route. The contact form at their website is broken, and their Twitter account is non-responsive, so I'm forced to try to communicate my displeasure this way. I've patronized the Chesapeake location about 3 times. All three times I've ordered a gyro bowl. First time I was very pleased. Second time, less so. My experience last week was downright bad. I ordered a gyro bowl for pickup. When I began to eat it, I noticed that most of the gyro meat was badly burned on one side. I had ordered extra gyro meat, which compounded the problem. I didn't have the time to return the bowl because I had to get back to the office, so I just made the best of it. But it was gross. I wondered what went through the mind of the person preparing the order; how can it ever be okay to pile an order high and deep with burned gyro meat? It was OBVIOUSLY burned, too, because one side of most of the gyro meat slices was a very dark brown to almost black on the outside. Either they were not paying attention at all, or they used it anyway because they didn't want to throw away the meat. Neither scenario is okay -- nobody wants to be served burnt food, but at $20 for lunch? You should do your level best to ensure that the order gets a little QA love before you shove it out the door. Sorry guys -- but that was a bridge too far. Unless they reach out to make this right, I won't be going back. P.S. Based on the nutrition information I've seen online (https://thesimplegreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SIMPLEGREEK-NUTRITIONAL-INFORMATION-11.29.20.pdf), their gyro meat is most definitely NOT low-carb or keto friendly. 9g of carb per 4 oz. serving! I should have checked first, so that's on me -- but I was shocked to discover that I'd blown my whole day's allowance of carbs on a gyro bowl. Some sort of notice would have been nice. read more

I got the pita with gyro meat, Kalamata olives, tomato and cucumber, garbanzo beans, feta, and pickled onions with tzatziki sauce. The pita was amazing it tasted so good, and the grape leaves were fantastic. The baklava hit the spot. it wasn't too sweet and it was crispy. The service was quick and the gentleman that served was very kind. The music wasn't too loud either. read more

This is my second review here. My first was about 4 years ago and unfortunately this place is not what it use to be. Today I visited on my way to work to get a quick falafel bowl for dinner. The place was empty except the 2 female workers. Neither greeted me upon entering (that matters). The young lady fixing my bowl appeared angry and I felt I was bothering her at work. She tossed tongs and gloves around like she was mad with being there. She was not rude just not friendly and it was off putting. I almost walked out because I was uncomfortable. I couldn't view her making my food because now there is a metal lids that block the view. I asked for cucumbers but she didn't add that to my bowl! If I could have viewed my food I would have correct that and asked for cucumbers because maybe she didn't hear me. She spent more time talking to the other young lady there than asking if I wanted anything else. I decided to pay for this bowl and get out. My bowl was flavorless and blah for the price. Nothing worth talking about and Not worth the money for me. I use to enjoy coming here for quench my Greek cravings but this will likely be my last visit unless something changes and the customer service (and food) improves. read more

I had tried Simple Greek years ago and it was good. This time the quality of food was not good. I had a gryo bowl with the seasoned rice and the rice was not cooked it was hard. Though the spanikopita was pretty good. I am not sure if Dolmas are offered anymore. I had them here years ago but didn't see them on the menu. Also, I think it is disingenuous for business to ask for a tip option on takeout. Especially when the customer has not had a chance to evaluate the product. I did tip and I felt like I shouldn't have. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This order is solely from grub hub I did not go in this establishment and dine nor do I want to. I ordered 50 dollars worth of stuff via grub hub to be delivered from The Simple Greek. I never recieved my food, nor did I receive a phone call that anything was array from this restaurant. The restaurant manually thru grub Hub claimed they received my order, had prepared my order and handed it to the Grub Hub delivery driver to be delivered. But after 2 hours and finally tracking my order which claimed it was delivered, I called The Simple Greek and got a rude young girl who claimed they never even recieved an order from grub hub, yet.... A grub hub driver came in to pick up some food and she turned them away and the grub hub driver left. Now half of this blunder is on Grub hub because the driver never contacted me either or initiated a refund of my money or tip! Nor did The Simple Greek! But Grub Hub explained to me that any restaurant that has orders thru grub Hub manually puts in when orders have been received, are in the making, and had been given to the driver so you can track it. I believe this is true because, I have ordered via GRUB HUB in the past and had stuff go wrong or orders that need to be clarified and the restaurant will call you and clarify to get the order started or canceled before it wastes not only your time but the Grub Hub drivers time. This restaurant likes to collect money but not make orders . And apparently the grub hub driver likes to take tips but not deliver food. A match made in heaven for the both of them. read more

Giving it the benefit of the doubt, I'll gave it 2 stars. We came towards the end of the day before close. The service was good, no complaints. However, the food, not so much. If this was a meal for 2 at $20, okay, but at $40 for 2 Gyros and fries, with a bottle of water, you can find better elsewhere. I'd recommend looking at different spots with similar food. There are better out there. read more

Very good food, but very bad staff. After walking in the woman behind the counter was making mobile orders and didn't acknowledge me for about 5 minutes. Another woman came up with an airpod in and proceeded to chat with the other, while also having a convo on her airpod. She finally greeted us with "Whatchu want?" We had to repeat ourself multiple times as she couldn't hear due to her phone call and got upset when we couldn't hear her one time. Multiple thank yous and not a single you're welcome. Hopefully the staff can't start to match the food quality read more

The Simple Greek - Gyro Greek fries n chocolate chip cookie - Greek Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I'm a simple greek regular (this is an updated review). I deliver for Uber and lately there has been a surge in this place so I've been craving it. I normally get a pita but today I got the fries because the photos on yelp looked amazing. But this is what I got. Barely any seasoning and very bland. I know this isnt the norm but it's still discouraging. Helps me still love this place, please! read more

The Simple Greek - Greek Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This is my second time here and it was just as good. I love the environment - it's clean, bright, and the workers are friendly. It is set up "Chipotle-style" so you walk in, choose if you want a pita gyro or a bowl with pita on the side. You choose your meat (or veggie), your sauce, and all the toppings. I got a pita with grilled chicken. My friend got a pita with steak. They were both AWESOME. The food is fresh and healthy. It's also a lot of food. We also got Greek fries and baklava. Both were delicious. I highly recommend this place. You can eat there or carry it home. I will say, the music was super loud, but I asked the guy working if he could turn it down so my friend and I could talk and he was super nice and turned it down for us :) read more

I stopped in The Simple Greek for the first time recently while having lunch with some friends who were visiting from out of town. They wanted to try something new and I'm not sure how they found the place, but told me roughly where it was located and so I met them there. You'll find the setup at TSG is familiar. You walk in, get in line and walk down the assembly line as they put your entree together. No different than Moe's, Your Pie and other similar places. Your first selection is Gyro or a wrap. Gyro of course! From there I added lamb from the rotisserie, Tzatziki sauce, tomato, cucumber and some vinaigrette. On the side I tried out an order of Greek Fries which were basically French Fries topped with Feta and red wine vinegar. Service was fast and in no time at all the order was made and we were at a table. The gyro was deceptively large and I shared the fries with everyone at the table. I really enjoyed the gyro however the fries not so much. Next time around I'll try a different side. During our meal the manager stopped by the table and checked on us and we shot the breeze for a few minutes. The staff overall was very friendly and courteous. All in all I really enjoyed my meal and am looking forward to a future visit. read more

Good experience for my first time there. Customer service was great, Greek food is my #2 fav, so I have eaten most of what is on their menu. My hubby is more of a meat and potato guy, wings also, so I had to persuade him. This also was fundraiser night for Oscar Smith high school, so I had to get there. Selections were great, protein and all the fixing. Just my fries were cold. I'll try them again of course. Pitas and hummus is always for the win. read more

A surly young woman scowls over her shoulder as I enter, and continues what she's doing. Her coworker checks out the previous customer. Finally he's done and takes my order. It was decent. I had to add a lot of flavor and triple the meat. Better seevice would have added a star. read more

Love this place! It was our first time eating here after countless times passing it up. Very open and inviting when you come it. There's a buffet style assembly line similar to Chipotle. You pick if you want a pita or bowl, pick your meat and then choose your veggie extras. Very efficient. We had the pita with the traditional gyro protein. Tzatziki sauce is a must and you choose your veggies. We also had the Greek fries. Outstanding! It's hard to find places like this in Chesapeake and I am glad this place is now on the map here. This place is a must. The only things that I thought could have been a little different but still not a huge problem were that 1) the tzakziki sauce was a little thicker than I've been used to and 2) the Greek fries could have used a little more flavor. Overall, I was very satisfied with my dining experience. read more

I was a little hesitant due to the mixed reviews. I purchased a "rock solid deal" for here and decided to give it a try. Holy Cow!!! I had the bowl, Lemon chicken w/Lemon rice, feta, hummus, olives and their house sauce. Fantastic!!. My son and grand son had bowls and they were just as happy as I was. Tried the sharable fries and those were some of the best fries I've had in a long time. Put this place on my go to list. read more

New Greek Restaurant in Chesapeake!! First try was during soft opening, owner Jason gave out free meals to let his staff train and also to allow people to try out their food. Super kind guy! This Greek spot reminds me of Chipotle, basically choose your base, protein then toppings. I got to try out their salad, with beef steak tips and their toppings. The sauces I recommend their tzatziki and garlic cream! 2nd time around, I only had a 30 minute break so came here to grab something quick to eat. Was a bit disappointed bc I wasn't served til 20 minutes later... but I let it slide only bc I know they are still training and getting a hang of things can take a while. (Got same bowl with beef steak but tried other toppings they had this time around) Pita $7.29 Rice/Salad Bowls $8.95 Will try again soon! read more
