Johnnie's Greek Cafe
2 reviews for Johnnie's Greek Cafe
Large portions of great Greek food and some of the best pizza I have had in years. What's not to like? For one, the service, which is generally slow -- they are often understaffed on the weekend and customers have to wait for tables to be cleared and wiped down before being able to sit, which is a huge pain if you're eight months pregnant. And for another, the fact that you have to pay at the counter, which raises the issue of tipping -- and often the eyebrows of the cashier if you don't tip on the credit-card slip. I don't know about others, but I prefer to leave the tip AFTER I eat and can judge the service accordingly. And the bathrooms are outside. Yes, it used to be a Taco Bell, but it's kind of counterproductive if you want to wash your hands and then have to open the door to the restaurant again.
Regardless, the food is great. The gyros are stuffed full of meat and slathered with taziki sauce, and the mousaka is outstanding. The Greek combo, which has a little bit of everything, is delicious and easily sharable. The feta-stuffed chicken saganaki is great, but a bit spendy at $16.95.
The pizza, while more expensive than other area places, has an authentic flavor not found at a chain. The Roma, piled high with pepperoni, mushrooms and spicy sausage on top of bubbly cheese, is amazing.
Good food, good prices. In a old Taco Bell which is kind of funny especially if you ate there when it was Taco Bell.
Love the portions. If you crave some serious Greek music videos than this is your place. Not the most authentic but still very good.
Would give it a 4 star but the staff needs a little work, nothing bad they just aren't on the ball. Get yourself in there for some Dolmades and Moussaka.
