The food was great and a good value. The service was excellent. Cozy and quaint atmosphere.

I recently tried the Greek Beef Stick Wrap and paired it with the Spicy Feta Dip and homemade pita and both delivered big on flavor. From the time I walked in and until I walked out I was treated like family! The Greek Beef Stick Wrap was outstanding. The beef was seasoned perfectly with that classic Mediterranean blend of savory, slightly herby, and deeply flavorful without being overpowering. Every bite was balanced and satisfying, making it both hearty and fresh at the same time. The Spicy Feta Dip was the perfect complement. It had a bold, tanginess keeping things interesting without overwhelming the palate. The homemade pita sealed the deal it was warm, soft, and sturdy enough to scoop generously without falling apart. Overall, this was a flavorful, well-executed meal that felt both comforting and elevated. Definitely something I'd order again. read more

Oh my goodness, what a hidden gem. The food is fresh, homemade, and more than yummy. The owners are a delight. The husband is very personable and jovial. He makes sure he talks to everyone and has lots of funny anecdotes to tell. He said his wife does all the cooking, and you can tell she does it with love. Absolutely amazing restaurant. I had the eggplant rollatini and my husband had lasagna, and both dishes were delicious. The only bad thing is we were just visiting for the weekend, but if we are ever back in that area, we will definitely eat there again. You are greeted when you walk in the door, and it just gets better from the moment you walk in. read more

Read the reviews... I found every positive comment to be true. The food is delicious and fresh. Handcut fries made in house, the owner told us, and served piping hot. The service is prompt and friendly, with personal attention from the owners (even though they appeared short staffed, and were running their feet off.) They seem to genuinely appreciate the customers. It's clean. Reasonably priced. We had the Spanikopita, Cheese pie, Dolmades, Cabbage rolls, and gyros.. we ate every bite. Took a slice of chocolate cake and yummy baklava home. THAT CHOCOLATE CAKE-!!! As another reviewer stated, "I'm still thinking about it!" Before now, the best chocolate cake I ever had was years ago, from McKenzie's bakery in New Orleans. This was reminiscent of that. Huge slice, enough for two. Just fabulous. I would return for the cake alone, but I will try other menu items to be sure! read more

I absolutely love Yiayia's! I went in for dinner alone while I was in town for work. I had some really good cabbage rolls and a well prepared Greek Salad. The service was great, and the ambiance is very comfortable. I felt like I was being welcomed into someone's home for dinner. The best part was talking with Santino, the restaurant owner. He came to my table to see how I liked everything, and we ended up talking for about 20 minutes. I heard about his childhood in the Greek Islands, his history in the restaurant business for the last 37 years, and lots of stuff in between. I enjoyed it so much, I brought a work friend back for lunch two days later. This will be a regular stop for me when I am in Madison. Country YiaYia's. They will make you feel at home. read more

The new location in Flowood is great! I used to work in Ridgeland and had eaten at that location as long as it had been open. When I retired, it was out of my way so the new location fits me perfectly! Still same great food & people! read more

The food was excellent and authentic and the service was helpful but not pushy. The environment was lovely as well.

Found this new place on yelp. When I tell you I wasn't disappointed at all. The food and service were outstanding. I have no complaints at all about what we ordered. The red fish is very good. It did not disappoint not one bit. The kids ordered a cheeseburger and hamburger. They gave me thumbs up. The ambiance is the old Monte's Seafood. Will definitely be returning again... read more

I live about two hours away, and YiaYia's Greek Kitchen was recommended to us by my sister who lives in Jackson. The consensus: It's an absolutely delicious place to eat! We got the chickpea fritters with tzatziki sauce, spicy feta dip (Angry Feta) with pitas, stuffed cabbage rolls, the lamb and the chicken gyros and fries - the flavors of everything we ordered were beyond what we could imagine. Everything was also so fresh! Nothing felt heavy or uncomfortably filling - so we were able to eat a lot! It was a wonderful food experience! Can't wait to go back to the area so we can try even more stuff from the menu! Also, [importantly] the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and we were lucky enough to meet Papou (Greek for grandfather), the husband of Yiayia (grandmother in Greek). He takes such pride in the food they make, and we loved learning about the history of the restaurant and their food philosophy as he checked on us to see how our experience was. GREAT food and GREAT people; we'll definitely be back!! read more

Good food and excellent service. Their prices a little higher than Aladdin's. I had gyro, was good. Keifers much better. Mom had lamb chops. She said they were good. Alladins much better. Chocolate cake was good. They have a daily lunch special menu. That brings many in. Good prices. The restaurant is clean and nice. read more

YiaYia's is the best in Greek food. I usually get the Gyro and fries but have also tried the Moussaka.

Great atmosphere and EXCELLENT Greek food! The owner came out and checked on us and on the food. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. I am currently not eating carbs, so they were quite accommodating to add more eggplant. Will definitely come back! read more

This is my kinda place. A "mom & pop" serving culturally authentic food with sweet owners who are incredibly nice. Both they and the wait staff really make you feel like they are glad you were there.

Our new favorite! We love Greek food and we were delighted at Yia-Yias! The ingredients were very fresh and high quality. The redfish was cooked perfectly and very fresh. Orzo tasted like it was prepared with garlic infused olive oil. Stefano promised it was their home cooking and it really was! Love love love it! read more

Food is awesome!! Service is great too! I tried the redfish, chicken kebab, baklava, and Greek coffee. Everything was perfect.

Most authentic Mediterranean in our hemisphere. Not your typical gyro and cheese press at. Try Yiayia's for a taste of the Greek and ancients cuisine which the apostles could only know so well. Relax in the calm and charming atmosphere and enjoy food from around the globe. read more

This this is by far the best meal I've ever had in Jackson. The gyro platter was to die for!! But the best part... the salad. They are growing herbs and tomatoes outside and you could taste the freshness. The family atmosphere was so inviting and the service was just as good. The owner is extremely friendly and told us this is all authentic and it's exactly how they cooked at his home. There was no music on in the restaurant which was a little odd but the food was so amazing you barely noticed. We will probably be coming once a week. read more

This fine establishment is a gem ! From Popo, Chef Stephen, and son Niko, you're not going to can any better quality family experience from the time you walk through the door to existing ! There is absolutely no seasoning of your food when it arrives ! Every menu item we experienced was excellent. Proof is simple the salad was ice-cold crispy and fresh ,fresh, fresh ! The entire time, we felt we were dining in their home ! When traveling, we tend never to dine twice , this was the exception ! Thank you for the great hospitality ! Chef Lee read more

Had a wonderful lunch here today. The server was very helpful and friendly as I tried to figure out what I could order that was vegetarian. I love when a place acts like they want your business. The restaurant was small, but clean and inviting. I ordered the hummus and the meatless moussaka. The hummus was fantastic, I couldn't get enough of it. The moussaka was also great. I can't wait to go back. read more

The staff was so friendly and kind, the food was better than we even expected! We were on the road and craving something fresh and comforting. This food was exactly that! We had the hummus+ tzatziki and pita, I got the half chicken and potatoes (chicken was so juicy and fell off the bone), everyone enjoyed what they got. We finished it off with dessert! Chocolate cake, lemon cello cake and baklava. I will be thinking about that cake forever!!! All made by the family run business. Such a wholesome experience at this restaurant. Would highly recommend! read more

For a birthday dinner, we wanted Greek and decided to try a new place. Yiayias was a great choice with a very large and diverse menu (visit website for the full menu). We had gyro platters. This came with a nice little salad of lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, a Kalamata olive, and a house made Greek dressing. It was very good. The pita bread was warm and soft, and the whole meal was cooked fresh and piping hot. The gyro was good, but the fries were fantastic. Perfect hand cut with both crispy and soft textures and perfectly seasoned. The service was fast and friendly, and the place was a sweet family style spot. For $13 it was a great meal! We will try the mezza plate and other dishes next time! And I'll save room for one of their baklava or nut roll sundaes! read more

Tucked away in a strip-mall lays a Greek place where the family recipes pour out from the open kitchen. The dinning room will not wow you, but the food and friendliness will. Some of the best Greek Food I have ever tasted. Had the Greek Meatball appetizer followed by a nice simple fresh Greek salad. The fries are plentiful and the lamb chops are made with love. Must try in the Ridgeland area. read more
