We hadn't had Zekos in quite some time like ten years ago bc of where it is located we don't really go. We tried it this time for lunch. It was convenient to the Convention Center and the Marriott hotel in Palmetto where we were. They have a lot of options of Mediterranean food.l - shawarma, falafels, gyros, Greek salads, shrimp, fish are some of their offerings here. We chose chicken pitas. Fries are Two dollars extra. I also ordered baba ganoosh(smokey egg plant spread which comes with pita. I'm pretty obsessed with this and have to order it wherever it's available. We ordered it, & brought it for us. They were very friendly and helpful. Our food was very tasty and did not disappoint. This is like a fast casual type place which is what we wanted bc we wanted to eat and go and beat the rain. read more

I enjoyed the jumbo shrimp along with their Greek salad. It was extra but well worth the price. Service were very good. Recommend 10 out of 10. read more

Love their shrimp and wings. Shrimp are always fried perfectly and food is always served fresh. Food is made to order so be prepared to wait but always worth it. read more

Holy cow!!! These are the best falafels I've ever tasted! Super fresh and amazing flavor! Well done!! Will Definitely be back!! read more

Zeko's Mediterranean Grill - Falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

As we were leaving Annamarie Island out of Bradenton, we looked for some delicious food and found Zeko's. They are an amazing Mediterranean restaurant that features a Gyro and Greek salad platter that is out of this world! The salad came with fresh Romain, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, Greek, olives, feta cheese, potato salad, dolma, and amazing homemade dressing. This place is so special, the owner makes and presses his own olive oil and ships from Greece personally. Everything is homemade everything is incredibly fresh. The service is also friendly and fast, and the restaurant itself is spotless clean. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody in the area who loves delicious Greek food, and if you're leaving the beach, this is something of a treat to have after a hot sunny beach day . read more

Zeko's Mediterranean Grill - Gyro & Greek salad $14 - Mediterranean Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Drive thru. Took. At least 99 seconds before someone spoke up on the com. The food was hott but the flavor was lacking, chicken tasted VERY charred, and presentation was a mess. read more

Wanted a fast, casual but healthy meal and Zeko's fit the bill! The restaurant was clean and had tons of indoor seating. Plenty of parking, too. I ordered a Greek salad with grilled shrimp and a baklava. The salad portion was generous for a small. It came with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumber, olives, pickled peppers, feta cheese and a creamy potato salad. I added grilled shrimp for protein. It was fresh, delicious and filling! The baklava was fantastic. One order came with two pieces. My group also enjoyed their entrees. Service was excellent! The staff was friendly, patient and helpful from start to finish. My group of seven all ordered something different and the staff brought our items to our table. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Zeko's Mediterranean Grill - Greek salad + grilled shrimp - Mediterranean Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Finally stopped at Zekos and we're very happy we did! Not only was the service friendly and helpful, but the food was very tasty. Husband has the beef kabobs with rice, beans and chop chop (salad) -meat was tender and full of flavor! Chicken gyro with Greek salad also delicious. We'll be back! read more

This is a fast food version of Greek food. Blaze is kinda outdated and a little depressing. I had a hero and surprise and a drink. They would not swap outout humus for my french fries which I thought was strange for a Greek place. It's just not worth the driving and it's not good enough to go back to. read more

Great, fresh food, friendly and knowledgeable staff and good value make this one of our weekly favorites! We love the chicken Shawarma, the chop chop salad, and the hummus with pita, so good!! read more

Zeko's Mediterranean Grill - Hummus with warm pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

I ordered strawberry cheesecake and it had MOLD on it! When I tried to get a refund they Uber told me it didn't qualify? What the heck?

Fast drive thru service. Good food with fresh ingredients. Good customer service! Will definitely visit again!

Casual, counter service, fast-ish. We ordered the chicken kabobs (tender and delicious) with rice and beans. Greek salad (incredibly fresh, huge portions, all the good stuff including a scoop of potato salad), and gyro (massive, plentiful meat). Tables and seats could use a cleaning, but otherwise this was a recommend for sure. read more

Decent Mediterranean food. I got the Gyro - it was stuffed full of tasty lamb, with pretty good Tzatziki, Andy he accompanying veggies. It was fresh and the pita was soft and fresh. My wife for the Chicken Shawarma - it was stuffed full as well, with slightly dry chicken, but overall pretty good. You place your order and they give you a number so they can bring it to your table when it's ready. Took 7-8 minutes to get our food, but it was fresh and hot when it arrived. read more

The food is decent. However, I feel their menu is deceiving as they won't necessarily give you the 2 sides of your choice, which is absolutely ridiculous. Bad customer service and inflexibility to make a customer paying an unjustified price for their meal what they want. Probably wouldn't return as there are plenty of other choices for Mediterranean food in the area. read more

So I went to Zekos today and ordered a Gyro with extra sauce and extra tomato if they would have followed the instructions I would've given them four stars however they gave me 2 half slices of tomato. I don't know about you but to me that is not extra tomato. Other than that, it was good and definitely a big sandwich. Also, next time I won't get onion because the onions are very thick and cubed instead of sliced. read more

Zekos was overall a good experience-- everything was reasonably priced and the portions were great. There was a ton of meat on my gyro which was great too but I wish there was more lettuce/tomato/onion. The baklava was also tasty. I would come here again just to mix it up. Very clean inside as well. read more

Awesome gyro regular and chicken were both Service was fast and the cashier was very polite read more

Great Mediterranean hummus, pita, falafel was excellent. Oh but terrible traffic getting over the bridge and back. Plan ahead, there's a drive through. read more

I called them just now to see if they were opened they said it's closed. Then I was trying to explain that their Yelp says their open until midnight and he said we're closed and I'm like ok.. but your Yelp says this and you might wanna change that. Then he was like we're closed have a good day ma'am. I honestly was trying to help and don't appreciate the attitude to whoever was working read more

We had the falafel wrap and a small Greek salad with fries The falafel wrap was very good but I would like more tahini sauce next time The Greek salad was delicious again could more dressing because it quite large Vegetables were crisp and fresh feta was mild tasted great The fries were thick cut served fresh and hot ! Yum coming back to try other things on the menu. We ate inside, nice and clean. Oh there was baklava and cheese cake that delicious but didn't have room, will try it next time. read more

Good Food & Nice Portions These guys do a nice job, not only the food is good, but the service and ambiance was as well! read more

I took one star away only because the owner HAS to fix the drive thru speaker. You have to yell to order, and I mean REALLY yell. Was only picking up a milkshake and a water and fries for a person I noticed was in great distress on street. I weakened and bought onion wings. The wait was a speck long and I was in a hurry. I thought they forgot me. Ha. I was wrong. They make every item fresh right there. It was worth the wait. Have bought food before. They are very nice and the food is delicious, and wow, almost forgot to mention how really good the vanilla shake was. . Try the place ... read more

This place is good but not authentic Greek food. For me it was expensive for the amount and quality of the food. The employees looked tired on the specific day we visited. The place was clean and so ere the restrooms. We will try to revisit and update review. My pictures were so similar to other reviews that I decided not to swamp thread with more of the same. I definitely like a more authentic menu and fell. read more

Excellent falafel sandwich. Authentic and delicious. Nothing fancy, but real food. Hummus plates also wonderful.

I've never had anything bad here. It does take a little bit long to get the food but it's really yummy. I recommend the chop chop and Buffalo chicken fingers... Not necessarily together read more

Greek salad, I think not. Gyro, tasteless. If you have never had Greek food, this isn't it. Service was great. Very clean.

Best Greek Mediterranean food in town. I order the gyros every time I go to Zekos, well worth five stars

Excellent gyro and salad! The Tzotzil is fresh - very large portions so take Some home. Got the baklava to go so I hope it's better than mine!! We will be back for sure. read more

This spot has become a (at least) twice a month spot for my fiancee and I. We're always surprised when we walk in how empty it is compared to how full it should be. This is definitely one of the hidden gem's of Bradenton. My fiancee usually gets some type of chicken dish (chicken schwarma or the chicken gyro) and I get the (lamb/beef) gyro. For the price, definitely worth it, and one of the best greek places for at least a good 30+ miles. One thing I would recommend is cut the cost of getting extra Taziki sauce= little things like this do have a psychological impact, especially the type of customers you want in coming more often. read more

The food at Zeko's is no joke when it comes to quality for the price. While the menu just skims the surface of the Mediterranean palette, the hummus is some of the best I have had South of the Skyway. Same for the Shawerma. The kabobs are perfectly grilled and just as flavorful as any high-end restaurant. The jasmine rice is event legit, not overcooked. The super fresh, Chop Chop salad is finely chopped mixed tomatoes and cucumbers, I like to get a side of it for only $1.99. I really like the Baklava because it is loaded with pistachios. I am still trying to figure out the difference between the Express and Restaurant version of Zeko's. So far, I can really not tell the difference. There is a drive-thru window, but we did not see it yet in operation. I cannot wait until the drive-thru is an option, since I work around the corner. Since they just opened a few days ago, I won't hold anything service-wise against them. The food comes out pretty fast for dine-in service, and there is not a tipping space on the credit card receipt. The tables appear to be bussed, since there are no trays or garbage cans around to put your trash. read more

Amazing Greek salad and chicken kabobs! Fresh, quality food. All made to order. Underrated!!

Good Mediterranean food We popped in tonight for takeout. Our order taker was super friendly and complimentary, and once he learned it was our first visit he got samples of a few of their sides for us to try. We had looked over the menu before we arrived and knew what we wanted, at least I knew, my wife still figuring things out. The food is made to order so this is not fast food but we were told up front it was going to take about 12 minutes for our order, and it did. In fact their line on their website is "Fresh Food, not fast food". They also have a dining room that was clean and comfortable. We liked the food. I had the Chicken Kabob with a few sides, and sampled a couple of Falafels from my wife's order. The only item we wondered about was their Baklava, which tasted buttery. Up until now the only Baklava we remember ever having was honey sweet. Not sure if this was a Zeko variation or something unintended. All in all we were very pleased with our choice of restaurants tonight. read more

Great food that is cooked fresh after you order. In other words that just means the drive thru is slower than steak and shake but if you are not in a hurry it is well worth the wait. read more

It's fast food setting, but wings n fries or also can get w beans n rice. The Gyro and also shrimp are good here too! read more

They do not give you the right portion size and then when you add additional sides and you're charged for the extra side they don't give it to you. If you're going to raise prices at least make sure the food is the correct portion size and the customer is actually listened to when the order is being taken read more

For fast food Mediterranean, this is the place to go . I had the chicken kebab with the chop chop and rice it was full of flavors!

Had a sad day and don't feel like doing much? Need to feed yourself but don't feel like sitting down amongst people? This is the place that will give you good food, a hearty amount, and if you pick the right stuff there will be no regrets. Just order though the drive though and wait in your car and drive home happy. My husband and I love this place. read more
