Get the lamb chops! You won't regret it.
In all honesty, everything was delicious.
Very casual ambiance, two floors and patio.
Our server was so sweet, she brought us wine samples when we asked for recommendations and she suggested all the best dinner options.
I wish we lived closer, we would be here often!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Harlene G.Long Beach, CA3714Apr 16, 2024

Haven't been here in years. So amazing to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was incredible, we ordered family style and had plenty of leftovers, the ambiance is beautiful. The neighboring tables kid came over and sing, happy birthday to our friend which was amazing. . And we had an unexpected city council member drop in for a few seconds.

An absolute hidden gem in the Shore! I I love the personable and sophisticated vibe. They recently renovated and the bar area on a Friday night should be the place to be if you live here and/or want a nice glass of wine and a delicious Mediterranean bite any time of the week.

George is always has fun people and great food. There's no reason why anybody's crazy mind that if you like Greek food you wouldn't go to George's.

The food was so so delicious. Every single bite was to be savored. We got the lamb chops (ridiculous), hummus and Kalamata spread with pita bread, and a small Greek salad. Ohhhhhh.....and the baklava! To die for!
It was delicious, I wish I lived upstairs. You are making a mistake if you don't dine here.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 17, 2023Seated via Yelp Reservations
This was my second time trying Greek food, and I now love this cuisine because of George's Greek Cafe. I tried their beef gyro plate (it was huge!) and enjoyed how tender the meat was; it melts in your mouth! Next time, I will change it up and get rice. This is a great starter dish trying Greek food. It comes with salad, fries, and pita bread. I don't eat hummus regularly, so it was cool getting out of my comfort zone dipping the pita bread in it!
My friends both ordered the Lamb chops and loved it; the waitress really sold them on it because it was a dinner special or something. We also ordered a bottle of wine to compliment our meal.
Just a tip, parking sucks on 2nd street on Friday and Saturday; I recommend going through the nearby neighborhoods to find parking and walk. If you want a convenient experience, make a reservation via the Yelp app.Helpful 20Thanks 0Love this 12Oh no 0 - 255401883Nov 5, 2023Updated review
Growing up in Chicago, I have frequented Greek town since I was a small child and it is one of my favorite spots around. Living in LA, it is really hard to find Greek food and I'm so thankful for George's! They have the dishes I love the most, skordalia and saganaki! The lamb chops are delicious too! A must visit if you love Greek, the service is wonderful too!

We went for dinner recently while my parents were in town from Chicago. Greek Town in Chicago is our absolute favorite genre of food, so we were delighted to find Greek food in LA! I called ahead and they even reserved a table for us, so awesome!
We were served by Fabio and he was fantastic. He let us try different wines until each of us found one we liked, which was so appreciated. We had our two favorite appetizers, Scordalia and Saganaki. Both were delicious!
Two things we absolutely loved. 1. They have a soup/salad option which is perfect. We love the avgolemono and a fresh Greek salad, and due to our love of the appetizers we are never hungry for a large entree, so this option is great! Also, you can add soup to your entree, which is great since we always want some avgolemono!
Fabio ended our evening with complimentary dessert for us, we were so happy and all three options were delicious.
Thank you Fabio and team for a great last night with my parents in town! We had a great time! Highly suggest this location for great service and good food! - Jul 25, 2023Seated via Yelp Reservations
The most outstanding thing about George's is the service. Yasmin was our server and she was awesome. Present without being intrusive and really, really helpful.
For me, the food was a bit of a mixed bag. I thought the chicken kababs (we ordered them a la carte were outstanding. Seasoned to perfection and super juicy. The greek salad was very good. The hummus was good. And the soup (i always forget the name, but it's got lemon and rice) was bit disappointing.
I really love that it's an open air restaurant, and it's on a part of 2nd St. that doesn't feel quite as busy, so it was really peaceful and relaxing sitting street-side.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
