Feedback
Freskos presents a varied culinary experience, with reviews spanning from disappointing to rave. Many patrons found the gyros lacking flavor and dry, overshadowed by unexciting pita bread, while others praised the juiciness and seasoning of the meat. Service reports indicate a sparse smile quotient, with some staff interactions described as awkward. Portions have been criticized for being small and overpriced. However, for those lucky enough to visit on nights featuring special deals, the satisfaction level rises, with standout items like baklava and fresh souvlaki winning accolades. Overall, Freskos draws a split crowd, highlighting inconsistencies in food and service quality.
I ordered some bread with chicken that had just a hint of lemon flavor. The last time I checked, souvlaki is meant to be grilled on a skewer, but I received chicken that tasted more like it had been lightly boiled and then pan-fried. For almost $15, I got four pieces of lettuce, a few slivers of onion, and some tomato—very disappointing. I learned my lesson; I won’t be coming back. The food was extremely basic. To top it all off, I was asked to leave a tip while ordering online! What service am I tipping for? It’s laughable!
Greek is fun, eat with your hands food and these guys do it well. It may not be as delicious as the fare you'll find in the big city or Greece for that matter but it's perfectly edible and if you score a bench outside makes for a satisfying evening.
The food is incredibly fresh and prepared promptly. They truly serve the best Gyro and Souvlaki in the area. The service is outstanding; the young lady who works there on Fridays when I visit is exceptional. She has fantastic customer service skills and creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere. She even brings my order to my car, which shows just how thoughtful and kind she is.
Just had a gyro with fries. Gyro meat was pretty much flavorless and tasted mainly the pita. It was also very dry and didn?t have much sauce on it at all. Not sure if it was a bad day for the chef but better off going to Cheshire pizza and paying 13dollars for a better gyro and fries included than 16 dollars here and the quality as bad.
