We were pleasantly surprised to find this good little restaurant tucked away in Kingston PA. Good food & great service! read more

Theos Metro - This former popcorn factory has good ambiance, good food and great service. - Italian Near Me - Kingston, Pennsylvania

Atmosphere was stunning. Food was good, but service was not great at all. I had to track down my waitress multiple times, I think the other waitress helped me more than my own waitress did. I ordered a "to-go" for my husband - Gyro with sides and dessert. When I got home and gave him the gyro, there was no cucumber sauce. I live an hour away, so I couldn't just pop back to grab what they missed. He was very disappointed since that is the best part of the gyro. read more

Great Gyros, Mosussaka, Grape Leaves and Soups!!! Will definitely return!! Nice meeting Jay (bartender) today while waiting for my to go meal read more

We had our daughter's christening luncheon at Theo's and were so impressed with the service, the prices, and the quality of the food! We needed to make last minute arrangements for a party of about 25 people on a Sunday afternoon. Flo was extremely helpful by arranging a private room for us with a limited menu (10 item of our choosing), rather than having a buffet. They allowed us to bring a sheet cake and even provided the plates, silverware, and the cleanup. The servers were quick, courteous and executed the luncheon without a hitch. The food came out piping hot and SO delicious (I had the Theo's Trio- omg so good!!). Everyone in our party was extremely impressed. We can't wait to go back again!! :) read more

Theo's Metro is an interesting restaurant. As another user reported, it is in a building that used to be a popcorn factor which adds to the cool factor. I have been here twice for dinner and have enjoyed the food both times. Authentic Greek is difficult to find in the Northeast PA area, so that being said, it is the best Greek around. The food is always fresh and portions are large. This review is based on my latest visit for dinner. To start, I ordered the hummus with pita chips. The hummus was fresh and homemade as were the pita chips. Flavor was good in the hummus but the fresh pita really helped to bring it up a notch. They also have an appetizer that consists of three dips including the hummus, so if you're new to Greek cuisine, its worth trying the sampler to see what you like and what you don't like. For my entree, I ordered the gyro platter with lamb souvlaki. I was disappointed to see that it was simply standard gyro veggies (lettuce, tomato and onion) on a fresh pita with lamb cubes instead of gyro meat. I had expected some different grilled veggies. The lamb was fantastic and cooked to order (I ordered medium). The side I chose was lemon potatoes. These were good, but let me down a little with their dry, crumbly texture. It seemed like they were prepared at least a day in advance and simply reheated. Flavor was just 'ok' and I would not choose them again. Portion was good and I left the restaurant feeling full. I will likely return to Theo's when I am craving Greek again, but I would not recommend it to someone simply visiting the area. read more

Wow. I've been to so many Greek places in south FL and NYC area and nothing's compared to this place. I will have to say I wasn't in love with the Tadzhiki but I had the gyro platter and my date and the lamb chops and both were amazing. I also had the lemon chicken and orzo soup it was the best. The place itself is pretty cool with the decor. I think I may make the drive just to come back here (just kidding because it's like more than 2 hours from NYC and there's nothing to do here). Went back and it wasn't so great. read more

We love Theo's. It is our favorite restaurant. Our first visit was wonderful. Service was wonderful. The atmosphere is perfect. The drinks are on point. They always have excellent specials. We had the lamb shank with pasta it was so tender it melted in my mouth. My Husband had the Surf & Turf it was cooked to perfection. We have taken my In-laws they enjoyed as well. Everything from appetizers to desserts is wonderful. I look forward to our next visit. read more

Theo's is a jumble of a place. The building used to be a popcorn factory -- seriously -- and they left some old machinery there to prove it. They clearly used each part of the factory in a unique way. One small, narrow room now has a waterfall and a mini-golf course set up. Random little Greek figurines pepper the place, with the overall effect of assuming the owner loves yard sales. But on to the food. I went there for lunch, and had an appetizer of tzatziki dip with pita, and an entree of a chicken pita sandwich. The pita bread was just beyond delicious -- warm, soft, perfect -- and the french fries that came with my sandwich were great, too. Highly recommended for lunch or a casual dinner. When I went there for lunch, there were so many tables and so few people sitting there. The person who took me there told me she wondered how Theo's stayed in business, because every time she went there it was practically empty. If that's the case, what a shame -- I'd hate to lose such a quirky, yummy place. read more

My sister and I came here on a Saturday afternoon. We had the beef gyros. Sister loved the lemon potatoes. I enjoyed the lemon egg chicken orzo soup. We started our meal with calamari, and the portion was huge, enough to take plenty home. We ate so much that there was no room for baklava, so I purchased some to go. Atmosphere is great, family friendly, and is in an old popcorn factory so there is old equipment for nostalgia's sake. Christina catered to our every need, being professional and personable. Check this Greek restaurant out if you haven't done so yet! You won't be disappointed! read more

Okay. I am Greek, my family comes from near the village the owners say they are from, and this was the worst excuse for Greek food. EVER. I always order the same food when I go to unknown Greek places so that I can make honest reviews. One: Saganaki is not flamed using Bacardi. Our waiter and the 2 waitresses I witnessed doing the Saganaki flaming did not even BOTHER to say Opa. Then when ordering the Avgolemeno soup, the waiter was so confused, the soup was possibly the only edible part of this meal. I then ordered Pastitcho which is made with a VERY specific macaroni, like the box for every brand that makes it now says it on the box. Here? Penne pasta, and not even COOKED properly penne pasta. & then my sister ordered baklava to go, and the waiter made a huge deal that it was MADE that day! Like seriously read more

Theo's is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always great, and I've never had a problem there. I don't eat Greek food very much, but there's still plenty for me to choose from. Since I'm not into the Greek food, I can't really comment on how authentic it is. I've had their Filet Mignon, Honey-Glazed Salmon, and Grilled Chicken, all of which were delicious. They serve warm rolls which are among the best rolls I've ever had. They always like to taunt our party of two by giving us three rolls so we have to fight over the last one! Although they will offer more when they're all gone. Last time I went I got the fried brownie bites with ice cream for dessert... they are to die for! Save room for dessert! read more

Not surprised by the mixed reviews, this place is hit or miss. I've had great dining experiences here and very mediocre ones. I keep going back because I'm sentimental, enjoy the atmosphere, and would be sad if Theo's went out of business, yet I sometimes wonder how they survive as a restaurant. Last night was an experience that made me question my desire to go back, yet it was the previous experience that brought me there again in the first place. How can a restaurant be so inconsistent? Do give this place a try, but know that it's a roll of dice whether you will leave here feeling satisfied and wondering why you don't eat here more often, or if you will leave feeling disappointed and ripped off. read more

Hey I don't know if this is 'authentic' Greek or not. Theo's is one of my favorite places. Nothing is overly salted or greasy. Service is great. The place is comfortable. The beer is ice cold. What more could you want! Between these four local restaurants- Theos, Dugans, Bankos Seafood and Villa Foglia, all within a few miles of me, I don't need to go anywhere else. read more

It's two days later and the flavors are still dancing in my mouth. My wife and I tend to go here every few months. Every time we begin to eat, we ask ourself "Why don't we eat here once a week?" Theo's can be a little hard to find if you've never been here before, but it's well worth the journey. Nestled in a neighborhood, your GPS will tell you that you have arrived at your location. You will think, "Dang this is a SMALL parking lot." Don't fret that is only a small lot for the bar area. Please take a turn down the small alley next to the building for a much larger parking lot behind the building. Now walk in, go ahead walk through that old freight elevator. You hear running water? Yup, that's a bit of a waterfall in there. Pull up a table and notice some of them seem to be repurposed doors. I highly enjoy repurposed objects. My wife and I always seem to get the same table which is fine with us. It's a good table. Go ahead and order yourself a drink, they have a full bar. If you fallow my reviews, you will know I often judge a place on their beer selection. Well for Theo's being a great greek restaurant and not a beer bar, they have a pretty good selection to choose from. We will now move on. Trailing behind your drinks you will get some olive oil some bread. YES! I needed a small snack. After some good conversation (and me stealing my wife's phone so she would look at me and not Instagram everything) the glorious soup came out. Here is where I would normally insert some flowery description of how good it was. Mentioning the vibrant yellow color and the way it melted in my mouth..... Wait....ummm.. Enter the main dish. Mind blown! I can honestly say that everything was amazing here. And neither my wife or I have ever had anything bad on any visit. Now for the close, the dreaded bill! For all our food and spirits, the bill was very reasonable. For service. Our waitresses have always been great! Super attentive to their tables, able to answer any questions about the food or drink. If you are looking for something different from the norm, defiantly put on your stretchy paints and head to Theo's Metro. The food is great, the atmosphere is great, the service is great and you will leave with lunch for the next day. read more

The BEST place in NEPA! Seriously it's underrated and needs to be discovered even by the locals (I'm from Philly). The feta cheese is the best I've ever tasted. So good I take it go in a separate container... their dip combo (hummus, tazaki, eggplant dip) is a must try for an appetizer! I'm a fan of their Greek salad and the vegetable mousakka. Also the lemon potatoes are a must have! Alcoholic beverages are unique and very good. It's also vegetarian friendly. Caution: You may walk through the bar and it's fan and smoky. Not the the dining area. If you get lost just ask the bartender! If there isn't street parking go down academy (a small street) for rear parking - also an entrance there. read more

This place is huge. It's an old popcorn factory turned Greek restaurant. Had the hummus and lamb Slovaki. I'm giving a 4 because the hummus for me was disappointing but the entree was delicious! Great service read more

We love it here! Their food is awesome and freshly made. My favorite is the chicken souvlaki sandwich with extra tzatziki sauce. The homemade baklava is delicious. read more

The design of the building is beautiful. It's really cute inside.The food look good but the taste was meh. It's okay. The rice I had was hard. Pastitsio was bland and dessert was mediocre at best. read more

Usually great! I've been here multiple times and enjoyed the soups, the Greek food and the atmosphere but last time I tried the eggplant and I beg, for the love of all things holy, please clean the fryer. The dirty oil is accompanied by a most undesirable aftertaste. read more

Delicious authentic Greek food. Eclectic building that was originally a pop corn factory. Hand painted tables and beautiful Greek decor. We chose three appetizers dolmades, spinach pie and the fried cheese. All were amazing. First time having this cheese appetizer that had lemon squeezed on it. Delicious! We then had chicken kebobs and lamb chops. Both were delicious. Of course Baklava for desert. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back! read more

3.5 stars. Reasonably allergy friendly with a large menu, generous portions, and reasonable prices. Food was generally good, except the kebobs which are stir fried rather than grilled. So instead of a charred skewer you get this somewhat soggy bowl of pepper/onions/lamb which is more steamed and a bit bland. Waitress was very friendly. read more

Could have done better at a Greek diner! Today's beans shouldn't be mixed with yesterday's beans. Not very good quality.wont go back read more

Used to love going to Theos Metro for dinner as a kid to play mini golf! I've since moved to Boston, but am quarantining in NEPA and immediately thought of this local restaurant when we wanted to switch things up for dinner tonight. So excited to hear they are still doing take out! read more

The service was good, very unique atmosphere. The lemon potatoes and stuffed grape leaves were excellent. The food flavors were very good however my moussaka was served cold, and the spinach pie was extremely greasy, the gyro was average. read more

This is one of the few restaurants open on a Sunday night. I really do like the unique qualities in the decor of the restaurant. I've been here on 3 different occasions over the past 2 years. The first 2 times, the service was terrible (my family said "Never again!") but the food was decent. The last time, the server was friendly and the service was good (it was late at night and we were the only customers) but the food was not good. I ordered a fish and it was tasteless. (I added salt and wished I'd brought some of my spices from home with me.) It tasted as if it was microwaved. This surprised me because that's usually the most flavorful fish dish in a restaurant. read more

The bar is much different than the restaurant. The dull glow on the red Formica is comforting. This could be one of the last true lounges. Enjoy a glass of Cabernet or sip Bourbon in true style. Play some Dean Martin or some Ella Fitzgerald. While others ponder problems at the office. You are are time traveler. Relish the moment, or hours. Sip, listen and be glad. read more

I give it two stars only because of the ambience. The restaurant is nice, unique, interesting, the food is.... Well... Freezer-meals. I ordered a gyro. Instead of shaved meat, I got pre-pressed gyro meat slices you can get from Walmart or sysco. I was disappointed beyond. My friend had Moussakka and returned it. Don't call yourself a greek restaurant if you can't cook a greek dish. Not coming back. Not recommending at all. read more

Always fantastic food. We grab take-out often, and we always go lemon! (Soup, potatoes) Greek specialties are always great, and the ambience is unique. Make reservations for large parties and/or on weekends. read more

Theo's has the most interesting atmosphere in the area. It's an old popcorn ball factory turned into a restaurant. It has a inside water fall and even a mini-golf course. We have used them in the past a lot for events. They have large spaces perfect for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, etc. The only problem is it might be too large for the kitchen. Sometimes they only have one cook and it takes a while for food to be served. read more

Theo's Metro is a contemporary rustic backdrop in an old popcorn factory for Greek specialties & Mediterranean/American cooking. Family-owned and there's an in-house putting green...Bottom line, this is an establishment made for a good date or a family reunion. read more

This review refers to a meal in June 2014; I completed and posted the review August 2014. Very disappointed! Because of the good food, casual atmosphere, and the fact that it's a locally-owned establishment, this had quickly become our favorite restaurant in NEPA for lunch or dinner, just the two of us, with the kids, and when we had out-of-town visitors. The service was always a little problematic (I see one reviewer describes it as "meh" -- that's a good description of a typical day) -- they always seemed understaffed and to have been caught by surprise when there were customers. Sadly, tonight was the straw that broke the camel's back for us. The small restaurant was about half full in the late afternoon, and we probably should have left when it took the one waitress working twenty minutes to get to our table, at which time we had to insist that she take our order for entrees along with the appetizer order (the hostess had brought our drinks). Fifteen minutes after taking our order, the waitress came back to the table to tell us that there was no hummus (at the beginning of the night in a Greek restaurant? oops!) and ask whether we'd like something else as an appetizer. "No, just cancel that," we said, at that point, believing that our food would be coming out shortly. Instead, twenty minutes later, she came back to the table and said "the Greek guy came in and made the hummus" (!), and plunked the appetizer in front of us (not asking if we still wanted it or offering to comp it, despite the wait and the fact that we'd cancelled the order). As we waited, people at the tables around us couldn't get their checks, or were just leaving money on the table and walking out because they couldn't get anyone to take their money. It took one young couple next to us maybe 20 minutes to get their check paid. They eventually got the hostess to take the folder with payment, but when she brought it back, they realized that they'd just broken the bill(s) in the folder, but not taken actual payment. After some time, they were able to get the hostess back to the table and explain the situation to her. From time to time, the hostess, visibly upset at how badly things were going throughout the restaurant, would come over to our table to see if she could refresh our drinks or bread. Again *some time later* ... a man came out of the kitchen and delivered our food (I was thinking maybe a manager or family member who'd come in to help pull things together), I asked sympathetically (but also trying to make the point that it was clear to the customers that things were going very wrong), whether they were as short staffed in the kitchen as they were out front. He said that they were, but made no apology and didn't seem to register that I was making a complaint. It had to have been close to two hours from the time we sat down until the time our food arrived. At that point, we were all at the end of our patience and had lost our appetite; before the food even came, we knew that we'd have to ask to have it wrapped. When we did so, there was no acknowledgment that there was any kind of problem; the waitress just said, "Sure," and sent some boxes to the table. If this evening had been an isolated event, and the waitress and manager recognized that the situation was unacceptable and were apologetic, we may have chalked it up to the restaurant's having had "one bad night," but the fact of the matter is, this short-staffing seems a matter of policy. This restaurant has character and good food -- a nice option in NEPA -- but we won't be back until we hear (through word of mouth and reviews) that the situation has changed and the problems with staffing are resolved. The older reviews seem stronger than the more recent reviews, so I hope they can turn things around! read more

Just ordered takeout and it was superb! Waitress was very nice and the dinner was ready at the arranged time. Thanks!

I haven't had a bad meal at Theo's. It's one of the few places my husband and I both like. We do not go to chain restaurants so when we do go out, we'll always choose a locally owned place. We've always had good service, the portions are big and we always have left overs. We will definitely be going back! read more

I found this restaurant by accident, we were in the mood for a gyro and our GPS took us here, we were pleasantly surprised the gyros we got were very good, the portions were just right. The prices were good as well. We do not live near here, but the next time we are nearby (or I find an excuse to go this way) I will definitely stop in again, next meal planned is for moussaka. read more

Not a place for after 7pm large dinner parties. We had a group of 20 with reservations. Being a fan of Greek food I was thrilled to be surrounded by family and good food. The family part was right, the food part was wrong. We had 2 servers that covered our group. They wore shirts that said 'It's All Greek To Me' when I ordered spanakopata, my server asked me what it was. I had to show her spinach pie on the menu. To which she pointed out the back of her shirt to me. They had 2 choices of soup, I love the lemon chicken soup, they were out of it, so I opted for the second, and was told they were out of that.We that ordered soup were offered a salad, I ordered the house dressing and got a container of balsamic vinegar(not the good kind) At our end of the table, being family , we picked at each others plates, The gyro meat taste like 'Spam' not to tasty, more like something I would feed my dog. Poor dog! They came around and asked if we would like more drinks, and then told the patriarch of the family he would have to switch to another wine, as they were out of his, the asked if we would like more water, to which I replied, I would like a glass that held water. The lemon slices were soft and old. We were then instructed to go out into the main room of the restaurant to look in the dessert case to select our deserts. When i asked if they had 'galaktoboureko'. I was given the long sad story about how much time the woman in the kitchen cooks. Not my problem, hire help. All in all, when hungry for Greek food go to 309 highway in front of K-Mart an get a gyro from the vendor kart and save yourself a 'TON' of money. read more

Maybe we went on an off night, but, I was so disappointed. So many people mentioned this restaurant to me, saying it was one of their favorites so I went in with high hopes. We ordered one of their specialties along with chicken kabobs. Neither were that good. Bland, no flavor..... I'll give them another chance as maybe it just wasn't a good night to go.. read more

This was one of the worst dining experiences of my joyous life. Our waitress was ill-equipped for any type of socialization. I know I make women nervous but this was ridiculous. My friends didn't even want to have anymore drinks because it took her 25 minutes to come back and ask us. Let's forget about the popcorn factory novelty factor here. The waitress brought out the wrong steak not once, but twice. We were there for almost 2 hours before I had a chance to eat and speak with the Owner. She made every excuse in the book, when a reputable business owner would have just Apologized from the beginning. Even Orville Redenbacher would have complained about this Third Rate operation. Ohh and they were out of the Lamb as well. To piggyback on Donita's review....this place is Huge, a Huge Disappointment! read more

Great saganaki cheese a must. Entrees were very good, it is a different atmosphere and the smoking at the bar is a draw back but it is seperated pretty well from the dining area. read more

While not a regular, anytime I wanted good, traditional Greek food, Theo's was the place to go. On a cold winter night what could be better than grilled lamb and lemon potatoes? Here is where the problems began. Being a duo, we ordered the Greek platter,- sample of everything including grilled lamb and lemon potatoes. Upon ordering we were informed there were no more lemon potatoes, huh??? They're a Greek food staple!!! Strike 1. Our platter arrived. It had what looked like some scraps of gyro meat, instant mashed potatoes and cold yellow and green beans. Strike 2. The very helpful, cordial and extremely stressed out waiter did take the platter back and brought us grilled lamb chops to replace the mystery meat. Should have been cooked to medium, they weren't even rare. They were raw. Helpful waitstaff returned them to the kitchen and brought them back, now cooked to beyond well done, basically inedible. Strike 3. While staff were helpful and accommodating and we were offered dessert and compensated for the (lack of) lamb, this was one of my worst dining experiences ever. Not sure what happened, this place used to be great. I'm sad to see this decline. If it weren't for the helpfulness of the waiter and the tasty baklava, I wouldn't have been able to give even a 1 star rating. Sorry Theo's... read more
