Patinella’s Chicken Grill

Food is great. Especially if your trying to keep it healthy. Portions are good but can vary depending on who’s making your food.
I frequent this restaurant and recommend it.

Food was delish, tender chicken and lamb and gryo was spot on and all affordable. Staff was unorganized and slightly rude.

Very fresh and delish food! The rice bowls are great and nice variety– you could have one every day and never tire of them. Also lite options available. The cucumber sauce of the month is yummy and Wasabi spicy. Great place we will DEFINITELY be back!

Healthy yummy and real food. Great for someone looking to eat real food (not processed) that’s prepared in a healthy manner. We will definitely be back.

I’m a pretty big fan of the food in this place. It’s always hot, made to order and tastes good. The reason I only give it three stars is because of the length of time it takes to order.
Every time we go in it seems it takes longer to place my order, get it and pay then it does to eat it. For some odd reason if I have someone in front of me with a larger order the staff insists on letting my food sit until finishing the other order. I could have been at the register, paid and gone by the time they get me finally rung up. It always puzzles me when they do this.
Also, they seem to have a lot of kids that work there. I do NOT have a problem with this concept, but damn some of them move at turtle speed. Even the managers seem to have no sense of urgency.
With all of this being said, the food is really good! Lamb, chicken and beef are the proteins of choice and they have awesome gyros and salads. They have an array of sauces to finish with and I highly recommend the taziki sauce. (The spelling of that may be a mess!).
They have a light version of all their bowls which makes me happy because I can’t eat a large portion of food.
I say give it a try!

Called in a takeout order and got held up in traffic. Arrived 3 minutes after their 9:00 closing and they refused to allow me to pick up the order. Was told it’s «just their policy.» Ridiculous.

It’s like a cousin of Chipote. You customize your wrap or bowl from options on the line (three choices actually, beef, chicken or gyro) and you are in and out in no time. It’s not the highest quality ingredients on Earth, but everything seems fresh and clean. The staff has always been really efficient and friendly.
For fast food speed and prices, there’s nothing I prefer.

Good fast healthy chicken. The service is a little questionable. Do not dare to ask for an extra sauce as apparently they are gold.
Kids meals do not come with any sauce.

Had a gyro, and it was way better than I was expecting from something on an assembly line (like Subway does). The meat is a lamb and beef blend, fresh and much better than any fake mystery meat you get at the other fast food places. I added lettuce and tomato, neither of which were soggy or seemed like it’s been sitting out for hours. Nice soft pita. For just 8 bucks it completely filled me up, definitely a better and healthier choice than McDonalds or something.

This place is a fresh alternative to choose vs. McDonalds, Wendy’s or Taco Bell etc and you still spend about the same. I will add it into my regular rotation of places to go but it’s towards the bottom of the list.
They have several options and you can mix or match your toppings and/​or they have «pre-​made-​up» combos (Greek Gryo, Southern, Brazil etc). They offer fresh grilled chicken or a beef/​lamb gyro meat as the main protein. Everything is on a base of a garlic jasmine rice then you add your protein and toppings.
They have 3 sizes bowls/​plates to pick from as well so if you just want something small or very large it’s easy to pick.
I got the large Gyro bowl and it was yummy. A little on the plain side compared to other gyro’s I’ve had in town but not bad. The Tzatziki was also plain but not bad. The portion size was HUGE though.
I got the tomato and onion vinegar salad as my side. And the sweet tea to drink. The tea was good but not «sweet» enough.
My wife had the Southern Chicken… brown rice, grilled chicken, corn and brown gravy. She got mac and cheese as her side and added that into her bowl… it was very plain tasting until she added the mac n cheese then it was pretty good but not great.
All in all this place was good but not anyplace to take a date. It was super clean and the staff was nice but it’s like a cafeteria and very plain. The value is good, food was fresh and service was fast.

Quick fresh healthy.
The sweet iced tea is freshly brewed. The ice added just the right mix of cold and allowed just the right mix to keep the tea tasty. Some of the items were prepped earlier and the chicken was freshly chopped as needed. Some of the sides (plantains, sweet potatoes) were not available due to delivery problems. But they had a wide selection to still pick from. To make up for what was temporarily off the menu.
Staff seemed friendly and kept busy by cleaning tables and kitchen area. I’m sometimes concerned about food prep staff as they clean and then return to line. I’m glad to report. No food borne illness or GI problems were noted here.

Delicious, affordable, quick and healthy. I wish there were more of these around town!
I opted for the Gyro meat, olives, cheese, tzatziki, beans, omg I can’t remember what else because I ate it so fast. I even treated myself to a piece of baklava which was better than expected.
My buddy got his usual chicken bowl, large, with everything piled high and maybe a few sprinkles more. A few fountain drinks, a cookie for the road and now I’m no longer ‘hangry’ and ready for the rest of my day.

We love the staff here, very friendly. Food is always great and I never feel guilty eating here. I recommend trying the various sauces. I love the original with mustard curry or the southern with corn & gravy.

This is a fast food place with good and healthy options!
I LOVE the chicken gyro.
The staff is friendly and fast! This is my go-​to for a quick bite!

Great place to a quick chicken rice bowl fix. Lots of toppings to choose from to make your own bowl. Service is fast and efficient.

Spent an extended week in the area and was steered here by one of the locals. Read the first review for a good idea of the menu — it’s like a bowl version of Baja Fresh if you’ve ever been to that. Green lettuce, red tomatoes — they chop up the chicken when you order it. Good stuff and a healthier choice amongst the quick food options around. Watch out on the Mexican bowl, those pepper seeds pack a hot wallop you don’t anticipate!
Hopefully this place sticks around until I’m back next winter!

I went here on a whim (because that’s what my hubby does when I’m a passenger in the hubby-​mobile), and I had a pleasant experience.
The food is fresh and quick, and almost had a young college vibe like Pita Pit or Jimmy John’s. Their restaurant has a simple concept with a myriad of choices. What can we put in a bowl/​plate that serves grilled chicken? Not a bad idea. You have your options from choosing mexican, brazilian, carribean, southern, greek, etc. and you have a choice between three sizes — and that actually means more meat and not more filler. (They also serve beef/​lamp for a gyro or a greek bowl.)
They list all the ingredients for each style, so you don’t have to guess what works out best for your choice. You do have the choice of omitting items. You start off with rice, chicken, and the rest is yours. A side sauce comes with the combo which includes their homemade pico de gallo, and pita bread.
I had a regular size greek combo. It was served with a healthy portion of beef/​lamb, and I was stuffed.
This is definitely a healthy alternative to fast food, and I’ll be on my quest to trying out new items.
