The Mad Greek - Baker

Good food at decent prices. They have some unique milkshakes and a variety of foods. But you really need another bathroom, because that is a small bathroom they have, is much smaller than the restaurant needs, especially because it always seems to break.

"Luxurious and delightful Greek restaurant! Their milkshakes are fantastic, and the gyros and desserts are equally impressive. While it has the feel of a full-service restaurant, it also offers fast food options. The atmosphere captures the essence of Greek culture and honors traditional cuisine. These folks truly know their Greek food!"

As I mentioned in a previous review, there’s nothing inherently wrong with fast food chains, but stumbling upon a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere is like winning the lottery! Continuing on, I was struck by a sight reminiscent of the Parthenon in ancient Greece—a stunning display of white statues near the restaurant. Once we entered, it was a straightforward process: order at the counter, and they call your number when your food is ready. The gyro meat was juicy and tasted just like the delicious gyros I’ve had in Greek neighborhoods back in Chicago. The tzatziki sauce, red onions, tomatoes, and salad complemented the delicate gyro meat perfectly. The pita was incredibly soft and fresh. I regretted not trying the hummus, but honestly, my gyro was probably enough calories for two days, so I opted out. On top of that, my homemade strawberry shake was a solid 10 out of 10—there wasn’t anything I could imagine that would make it better. This place truly felt like an oasis in the desert.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! I hadn't visited in about eight years, but I made a special trip just to enjoy the Baklava. Even though I had to wait two hours until they opened at 8:00, it was definitely worth it. I ordered the Baklava along with a few egg and sausage sandwiches on pita bread, and everything was delicious. This cozy little spot is perfect for truckers, as there’s ample parking available. They offer both dine-in and take-out options. Plus, truck drivers with a CDL, as well as military veterans and active service members, get a 20% discount. Highly recommended!

The Mad Greek Cafe is a clean and friendly, old fashion, must stop near the Worlds largest thermometer and Alien Jerry close to the freeway and gas stations. Parking is decent and food is prepared in a timely fashion. Their Lamb Gyros are flavorful and the salad was a proper Greek complete with olives and feta as all Greek salads should have! The statues are abundant and if you're lucky you might see the local stray cats stopping by the patio for a sip of water.
