Grecian Inn

My wife and I have been going to this diner for years and you cannot beat the breakfast for the price. The workers are so nice and over the years we’ve got to know them personally. Great food and even better people!

We had Sunday breakfast here. We walked in had a very brief wait for a booth, We sat a a booth that was specifically set up for a table of 3 with ice water. We had a longer wait for service however the waitress did make sure to stop by the table to let us know that she is just finishing up with another table. Since it was my first time I didn’t mind though it would have been nice to have coffee cups since flavored crème, butter and half and half was in small bowls. Give me time to read the menu and a few of the other Unilocal reviews while waiting.
My sister ordered poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and pancakes. she enjoyed the eggs, and Canadian bacon. But the pancake was so so.
The hash browns were cooked very lightly. Sausage gravy was made with sliced pieces of breakfast sausage links nothing spectacular I would have to say that I have had better from a can.
The service is fairly good they could improve by checking on coffee levels more frequently. The water pitcher came around regularly. The busers were clearing tables throughout our meal but it was done loudly.

I went here for breakfast one time and it was your typical Greek Restaurant complete with glossy wooden booths and nursing home decorative wallpaper.
One thing Greek Restuarants do is they market their products well. A picture of a Greek salad in their menu looked outstanding so I figured I better order it.
Looks are deceiving, it looked good but tasted like plastic. It was really lousy. The salad dressing looked like a specimen from a fertility lab. I had a cup of chili which was not too bad.
Lesson one: Greek joints can make a good breakfast and they probably will not louse up a burger. But when they try to make something, like food that Greek or complicated — forget it. For what you get, it is also kind of expensive. You can eat better at McDonalds for much less.
Not too cool.

Another in a long line of great authentic ethnic food restaurants in/​around Milwaukee. We went there with a friend who had a Greek grandmother, and he said the place would be able to stand up to her food.
I had a roasted lamb dish with Greek-​style potatoes; it came with both a starter (soup/​salad) and a dessert. The soup I got was similar to what my husband’s Italian family calls Tiny Pasta: Tomato soup with little pasta pieces in it – and fresh, hot, and tastey. The lamb was flavorful and the potatos done just right. Though, a word to the wise: The way the menu lists what comes with your dinner is not intended to indicate a choice… I thought I had to pick between the potato and the rice, so they left the rice off my plate. The selection of desserts that come with the meal was somewhat anemic: rice pudding (seemed like something they’d gotten in a mass-​produced package), jello (cafeteria-​style jello squares in a small dish), and other such commonalities. Based on how great the starters and entrees were, the desserts were something of a let-​down.
For the price, though, the quality of food is outstanding, and the ambiance just above casual, with a lot of Greek Gods and Goddesses stashed in various nooks and crannies. I’ll definitely be going back.
