Grecian Cafe

I don’t think I’m alone by saying this but I come to this spot for one reason and one reason alone. Hand’s down they have the most amazing Greek salad and Greek dressing you will ever encounter. I have been to many Greek restaurants and some of my best friends are Greek so I do know a lot about the culture. If your Greek dressing is not bright pink then it’s not official. I drive 25 min just to have a salad at this place and it’s worth every min. I’m sure the dressing is not the healthiest but man oooo man it is absolutely delicious and worth the drive.

Every time I try this place, I have a few decent experiences, then one that makes me not want to come back. I was told this place was under new management and that they had really improved, but apparently they haven’t. Today was the final straw for me. Went here for breakfast. We had some waitress with a crappy Greek accent who was completely clueless about the menu items, screwed up our order, brought us cold food, and then ARGUED with us about something which was stated right on the menu. No coffee refill either!
Told our waitress that they forgot to put the cheese on my breakfast skillet. She got a pissy attitude, took my plate, then brought it back 30 seconds later with a cold slice of Kraft singles on top of my food. She then spent 2 minutes arguing with us about how I should have asked ahead of time if I really wanted it. Tried to tell us it didn’t say anything about cheese in the menu either, even as we pointed it out to her. She then tried to charge us extra for the cheese. No apology at all for the mistake.
Usually if you request something at a restaurant, you get an apology or they try to make it right for you. Not so much here, and this isn’t even the first time I’ve gotten horrible service at the Grecian. I’ve worked in a customer service industry for 10 years, and I can definitely say that rule #1 is that you don’t argue with your customers, you instead go out of your way to make things right for them.
Happy customers=return customers.
I will not be returning to the Grecian Café ever.
I’ll go down to Zack’s, Crawford’s, or Senate Coney Island for Sunday morning breakfast from now on. At least the waitresses won’t yell at me at any of those places.

Our go-​to coney in the area because Tony’s is closed, and also because they nail everything I’ve ever eaten from their menu. Annnnd their menu is LARGE. Both figuratively and literally. If someone attacks you at your booth just whack them with a menu. Seriously though, go here and eat delicious family dining style food. Get the Greek salad (it has real lettuce and not iceberg) and is served with a squeeze bottle of dressing so you can give every bite a little bit of dressin’ lovin’,

This visit was a step up from our last visit. I’m happy that they’ve not changed into another fou fou restaurant.
Our lemon rice soup was so much better than our last visit. Last time I thought it was rice pudding. This time, it was as I expected it to be. It was the perfect blend of rice, lemon and bits of chicken. It was served hot. In fact, this time ALL of our food was hot! Our gyro sandwich was the perfect balance of meat, sauce, onion, tomato and was served in a soft, warmed, chewy pita. We also shared a slice of spinach pie. HUGE appetizer slice. It was very good! 21 shrimp basket was cooked to perfection. You get more breading than shrimp, but my son liked the meal. Our dinner came with rice pudding. YUM!!!
Our waitress was very nice and prompt in service. I look forward to trying more items, in the future.

Solid, solid Coney Island-​type restaurant. It is our go to place when one of us wants lunch and the other wants breakfast. We have never had a bad meal here and the coffee is good. The place is clean, the service is efficient and friendly, and the food is tasty and consistent. There are little touches that make this a 4 star for me and not a 3. When I order a chicken finger pita from this restaurant, the chicken fingers seem like real pieces of fried chicken and the lettuce is not just shredded iceberg, unlike other Coneys we’ve been too. We’ve never had dinner and the menu is huge, so I can’t vouch for everything but the lunch and breakfast items we’ve tried have been very good.

Is it great food no. Is it bad food no. What is cool is i can get a lamb shank at 2AM in the morning. In my home state that is unheard of! I would be stuck with fast food, deep fried bar food, Dennys, or Ihop in my home state.
i am confussed why this place has a 4 ½ star rating as of 10÷13÷12.

Gah! I just can’t with this place. I know the drunks and teenagers love this place, but I just find the food gross. Who makes lemon rice soup with YELLOW RICE?! Fries were cold & limp. Don’t even get me started on their ranch dressing! SO wrong!

Downtown Plymouth’s best late-​nite haven for warm food, Grecian Café pleases every time. I frequent Grecian with my buds, usually in the a.m., and I’m consistently pleased with the service, food, and atmosphere.
The waitresses sometimes forget to refill the coffee, but they’re cute, courteous, and, unlike the crosstown Zack’s of Plymouth, they smile.
Pricing is not bad. The grilled chicken wrap is enormous, and costs 6 bucks.

My favorite place to go for a gyro. If I want Greek, I want a gyro. Because of the quality of their gyros, I’m not ever gonna mess with downtown Detroit for greek.
They’re a bit on the pricey side but wonderful. The meat is actually from a spit which you won’t find at coney islands… its more like steak-​um gyro meat at other places.
Their chicken lemon rice soup is also wonderful.

I really, really like this place. They are open 24 hours, except on Sunday’s which is nice for those late night cravings.
I typically only get their chicken Greek salads, extra beets-​no tomatoes. The dressing that comes with this salad is divine (IMO). It is slightly tangy, with sweet notes and is absolutely perfect to dip your warm pita bread in.
Occasionally I order breakfast (served any time), their BLT on pita or Greek burger. This is a seasoned, fresh patty covered in a carmelized relish of peppers and onions and crumbled feta cheese atop. Delicious!

The quality of the food at this place is really good, but sometimes there is a little weirdness.
Once I came here and got mozerella sticks and asked if I could get some marinara sauce to go with it. She ended up bringing me a bowl of something that looked like tomato soup and I actually thought it was tomato soup and got a little confused, telling her I didn’t order soup. She said that was the marinara and that they had had to make it especially for me when I asked for some. It was really great as soup and would have been really great on pasta, but it definitely did not do the trick as far as something to dip my mozerella sticks in. I feel even kind of bad complaing about it because it wasn’t that it was bad – the quality was excellent, it’s just that it wasn’t what I anticipated and they went to all the trouble of making it fresh.
Another time, I ordered a milkshake and when they brought it to me, it seemed like they had taken a scoop of ice cream, put it in some milk and stirred it a little with a spoon. It was about the thickness of milk with a scoop of ice cream floating around in it. Again, it’s not that it was bad. It was great, but definitely did not taste like a milkshake.
On the other hand, the chicken strips I got there were the kind of thing I thought a person could only dream about – they were so good!
So, I mean, this restaurant is actually great. It’s just that if you go in thinking «this is a diner, I will order diner food» you might not really get what you were expecting. Maybe you’ll get something way better, though.

UPDATE: I went in here yesterday and tried the Grecian Café omelet — probably 4 or 5 eggs wrapped around gyro meat, tomatoes, onions (i ordered mine w/​o and asked for extra tomatoes instead) and feta cheese. It comes with toast and hash browns and easily could’ve fed 2 people, I reheated it for lunch yesterday and it was still wonderful. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Also Sunday they close 10p now I believe they re-​open at 6am on Monday.

COME ON! I have to give this place 5 stars for what it is. Grecian Café, you have been the savior to my hang over on many occasions. There is no place better to go soak up the alcohol after you are let out of the local bars. THE PURPLE SAUCE! Tell me you have all had the purple (greek maybe?) dressing for the salads? It’s addicting… lucky for them they give me the entire bottle at a sitting, or you might find me rummaging through their coolers in the back looking for it! ;) Kudos Grecian, I look forward to visiting with you soon!

Eaten here two times now for lunch. There are great specials that include some of their yummy soups and smaller portions of some dishes! In general, the portions are really big for such a small price, and it always tastes fresh. Service has been quick and attentive, really overall a great place for lunch.
They have a large menu, and breakfast is next on my list as something to try out!

4 stars for the fluffy pancakes and 2 stars for slow service = 3 stars.
Hubby and I have been here several times and each time we’ve liked the food but not the service, which is indifferent in the extreme.
Hubby has had various egg-​based breakfasts, all of which have been generously portioned and tasty. I have had pancakes and French toast, also generously proportioned, and also quite tasty. I’m particularly impressed with the fluffiness of the pancakes.

Grecian Café rocks. Ambiance is definitely nice for a diner, but what really sets this place apart is their superior breakfast choices. Crepes, waffles stuffed w/​berries, etc. Combinations you wouldn’t even think of. Definitely worth a visit.

studying all night? grossed out by other 24hr diners? late night trip for eggs and toast? grecian café is our current go-​to for late-​late-​night foodings after hours of hardcore studying (interspersed with 30% facebooking and 20% Unilocaling, of course).
seat yourself — attentive service. over-​easy eggs are always done perfectly. spinach cheese pie is a la carte but a massive slice. greek salad is humongous if you get anything larger than a small. classic diner otherwise.
solid late night diner — clean, not sketchy, it’s not loud at all if you come here later at night (it’s the only time i’ve visited) — some weeknights you’ll see a few other people doing some late night studying as well, or coming in after work. wifi is great if slamming a few hours here on the laptop.
btw — they close at 10pm on Sundays — as of when this review was written. LP and I sadly found this out the hard way — after a 4am trek from ann arbor to here on a sunday night…

This is a solid place for late night dining in the Plymouth area. Free wifi too which is nice. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. Just come on in and pick your own seat, it is that kind of joint.
Breakfast portions are large and a happy way to go here, eggs cooked to order and happy bacon. The burgers are meh, the sandwiches pretty ok. I get the chicken greek salad pretty frequently and like it a lot. The greek items are generally good too, try the homemade spanikopita.
I usually only come in late night-​ish but it’s a nice choice.

My husband and I went here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. This seems like a typical coney type restaurant but really is one of the best I’ve been to.
You seat yourself here. We were promptly greeted and order the standard coffee and water of a weekend breakfast. The coffee was much better than most of the breakfast places I have been to. It’s like they actually clean their coffee maker! Gasp!
They have a pretty standard breakfast menu — eggs, omlettes, pancakes, etc. We each ordered the country skillet. When they came out we realized we probably could have split one! Their skillets are served in a skillet of coarse hash browns with all the toppings. The country skillet has bacon, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and your choice of cheese. I didn’t get toast but my husband got the rye but, wasn’t sure if it was actually rye or white.
Joe V. is right that the waitresses are gorgeous :) They are also pretty good at what they do. We got refills promptly and never felt like we were being neglected.
I look forward to going to breakfast here again! It was tasty and a nice breakfast experience.

The food is delicious and the portions are generous.
It is open 24 hrs… good for late night eats.
The daytime waitresses are gorgeous… worth the trip alone.
