I’m from Campbell, Ohio where we have a LARGE Greek population for the town. Authentic Greek Food both homemade and through various cafes and restaurants and several Greek Festivals is common. So when I seen The Big Greek Cafe, of course I had to try it. Outstanding for their selection and great authentic tastes I miss so much. I’ve been here several times, and had a variety of dishes. I will come back…until I move back home!

Posted on another post, but we come from a town in Ohio that has a large Greek population, so we are very accustomed to authentic Greek food from different restaurants, festivals and uea, neighbors and friends. This was a great gem to find! Foor is really good, good portions, good selection. Highly recommend trying it.

The gyro is absolutely delicious, it is juicy and flavorful. The pita is soft and tasty! The taziki sauce is also really good.

I went for the Gyro and it satisfied my hunger! It was stacked with meat. I purchased the platter and received 2 sides – Greek fries and Greek salad. The salad was about a cup. Just FYI the olives in it still have the seeds! Careful taking that bite

Very casual dining facility but service was great and the FOOD was delicious. I ordered grilled pork chops with potatoes and a Greek salad. It was amazing. Would definitely come here again when I’m in the area.

12Aug.2022 Karmish has great customer service skills and the best personality. I had the best experience as this is my time ordering over the phone and from here. All the food turned out great and taste superb.

Overall great taste of a Greek cousine! Very fresh and delicious looking. In the pictures attached, you can see my takeout order of “Our famous Gyro Pita”. I actually shared it with someone thus cut in half, but entire pita would be a perfect amount of food for a great tasty lunch. Highly recommend The Big Greek Cafe and will definitely be back. The service was highly welcoming and very friendly. Great job guys!

When was the last time everything you ordered taste amaze-balls?! I’m a foodie who loves to eat! This place popped up on Door Dash and I wanted to give it a try. I was so happy that I did! The Big Greek bowl was so fresh and flavorful that I had to force myself to stop eatting it all. The fries were still warm and were tasty. I wish that had more feta but I could never have too much feta. The soup felt like if I was sick I would want this everyday until I felt better. It made me feel like my Grandma cooked it just for me! Last but not least the baklava HONEY! I love me some baklava and it was fresh, flaky, and just enough sweetness. I enjoyed everything so much that I called, spoke to the manager and told him that I enjoyed it all. So, if you want some delicious Greek food order from them!

I wanna preface this saying I’ve never eaten Greek food before. BUT!! THIS PLACE MIGHT BE MY NEW FAVORITE FOOS PLACE! I got the shrimp Souvlaki, which I have no idea how to pronounce I’ll say (The cashier was very lenient with my inability to say it lol), was so amazing I could die happy after eating it!! 12/10, highly recommend taking time out of a day of your choosing, sitting down, and enjoying the food. Also, Baklava is always a win, and you get to choose which one you would like when you purchase the dessert. Can’t wait to dig into it, and I hope you all enjoy as well! 😀

Dined in experience was kinda meh but the food was really good. Food came on paper plates and plastic utensils, which maybe is the norm nowadays? Lots of people ordering take out. I had the falafel, which was only 3 of them but was really good. The dolmades was just alright, I’ve had better. The big Greek bowl was good, kinda like a Chipotle medley. I highly recommend.
