I’ve been here a few times over the years. Recently returned back a few days ago for some lunch.

WOW!! First off, I’m a food brat and complain about food at almost every restaurant, but I had the filet mignon souvlaki plate and it was to die for!! I’m not hyping this up, literally the best meal I’ve had anywhere. The filet mignon is so tender, juicy and big portions of meat on a skewer. The vegetables were so fresh and tender. I don’t typically like potatoes in any form and I could endlessly eat theirs! The rice was delicious too. The best of all is the MARINADE !! I’m on a quest to recreate it because it’s THAT GOOD! If you go here, I highly recommend the filet mignon (skewers) souvlaki plate or any souvlaki plate. Portions are huge too and can’t beat the price! Even thinking about this is making my mouth water. Disregard the bad views and try my recommendation, you won’t be disappointed! So happy to find this place even if I have to drive 35 mins to eat here. I’ll be back again…and again!

One of our favorite casual spots to either go to or take out from when we’re in the area. Their salads are fantastic and hearty (my wife always has leftovers), and my personal favorite is the Cajun salmon gyro. The salmon belly is out of this world, and along with the soft pita, tomatoes onions avocado and Cajun sauce, it’s just heaven. I’ll add that it’s all incredibly reasonable prices too.

Found this place as we were at hospital near by – good location and clean place with friendly staff. Felt the food was a bit pricey for what we got but it is freshly made. We did have a minor issue that manager acknowledged for correction in future. We will try again if in the area.

Fast casual where you’re going to get your money’s worth! I typically go for one of the Greek dishes while my kids lean Italian and my wife goes for an American dish. All are done well and delicious and we end up with to go boxes!

We are new to the area and we placed a to-go order online. I have a child who wanted plain pasta. I didn’t select a sauce and I even put in the note section, “can you just lightly salt? no sauce please.” Well, since we are living in a hotel until our housing becomes available, it took a while before we got the food back to the room and started to eat. We open the food and the pasta is covered in cheese. I call the restaurant, explain what happened, and asked if they could just refund the meal because our child won’t eat it. Autism doesn’t care if it was an honest mistake. He said no. He offered to remake it, and I explained that I have to figure something else out that would be quicker that a 40 min round trip. He then says that he can offer me a credit, and goes on to say “even though I don’t think I should.” He made it clear that he felt like it was somehow my fault that his kitchen staff didn’t get the note about no sauce.

Ordered two hot dogs and a drink. Went to the soda fountain and it was out of ice. Wish they told me before I ordered my drink.

I wish I could put this place in my pocket. The staff is always nice. The food is excellent. It is so clean you could eat off the floor. I don’t know how they can get so many beautiful women to work in one place. I love to eat here all the time.

I have been loyal and satisfied customer of BYG since before the pandemic and am more than grateful that they survived the lock down. But Jake at the front has been A++ as far as customer service, so much to the fact that now more often than not, I’ll have him choose lunch for me. Because EVERYTHING & ANYTHING I HAVE EVER TRIED has been NOTHING LESS THAN EXCEPTIONAL. GREAT food & incredible staff ALL THE WAY AROUND. Can’t recommend enough 5 stars, keep up the great work guys.

We had the falafel sandwich and the pulled bbq pork sandwich, both with fries. The pork was tough, unflavored, but salty. The falafel were ok, but not traditional. Quite overpriced, very little flair or flavor. It was ok, but I have had so much better for that price point.
