The Fat Greek

Delicious food. I came here a month ago for the first time and they remembered me, very nice people. I would have them cater my next party because the food is so good.

Best gyro I’ve tasted. Friendly, prompt service. Reasonably priced. Clean. I’ll definitely go back!

i was very skeptical because it seems like a hole in the wall however the food is amazing the the people are so nice.

Great homemade greek food, lovely owners. Wonderful conversation along with the great food.

Best gyro around. .truly authentic greek food. say hi to grandpa. hes old but still sits out front with s smile. grand ma still does the weeds around the place. oh they have bottle beer. .small but good selection of beer… greek salad is tops too. havent tried the whole menu but gonna try to

Had a wonderful lunch with my husband and the food was really fresh and the atmosphere is really inviting we had a wonderful time and we finished it off with a baklava it was delicious very good.

Here all the time. Delicious gyros and great owners. Been here 4 times in one week. It’s that good!

Gyros are flavorful and delicious. Portions are generous. Décor was a little offbeat in a weirdly charming way. Service was efficient yet not so friendly though.

This is our first time here and we came because of the Unilocal reviews. We ordered the traditional gyros. They were really good in flavor. The meat was fresh. They have different kinds of Greek food on the menu, will have to try next time. The customer service was also awesome. I recommend you stop by here and try the gyros out.

Outstanding food. Very fresh ingredients. You can taste the freshness and terrific spice combinations. Homemade & homegrown everything. And you can taste the quality. Definitely coming back.
Gyros Taco — AMAZING
Gyros meat. Fantastic
Tziiki Sauce– Delicious

You have to come here. These people are awesome and their food is great! If in Yucaipa, stop and eat you will not be disappointed

This place is a little hidden gem in the heart of Yucaipa. Their gyro is really good. it’s the most tastiest gyro I have tasted so far. The worker Nick is really nice too. He took care of us. He made us samples so we can try it before we ordered it. Me and my fiancé will be back for sure.

Food is awesome and very tasty. They grow and make their own spices and you can really taste them in the food. Serving size for the price is also really good. I got the california gyro sandwich. The owner is very friendly. Place is clean and neat. I will definitely be coming back.

This is me and my son’s favorite Mediterranean style food within reasonable driving distance. We drive 25 miles to get here even though there are several Med types much nearer to us.
If you want really good food that is not «the usual» order from the chalk board specials. I have never been disappointed. If you like lamb, this is the place to go. Soft tender flavorful lamb, everytime I have ordered it.
They also have the usual Gyro platters, Falafels, Hummus etc. all good. I don’t care for stuffed grape leaves but my boy would walk the 25 miles to get them here.
The lady who I think started this restaurant with her husband seems to be less active but still working. I think her son is now the «face» you deal with and he is a very friendly guy. Very Greek like as far as making you feel at home. He has good recommendations and will «custom» combine a platter as you like. Ordering off menu is recommended if you feel adventurous or hungry.
This last week we ordered Lamb Kebabs for me (2 kebabs special order) off the chalk board. My son ordered the Loukanikos sausage which he loves from this place. The loukanikos he said were the same taste but a little different, a finer grind he said. My lamb was delicious, so much so that my son ate the leftovers a day later. He NEVER Eats lamb, but this time he did.
All plates we have ever ordered are more than you can eat, I am 6’4″ and weigh more than my doctor wishes, and I can’t finish a plate.
Only negative is that the pricing, especially «specials» or off menu are a bit expensive but worth it. You can’t get this kind of food at the usual fast food Mediterraean places.

what a great find! Was looking for Greek food when options closer to redlands just weren’t cutting it… And oh boy were we in for a treat! The food was marvelous! be sure to try the fried zucchini (fried with home-​made beer batter). Quaint hole in the wall atmosphere and such a vintage vibe. ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Awesome gyro! Full of flavor and fresh. The owner is great and makes you feel welcome and invited. I would have came back here just because of him, but after having the food I’m definitely coming back.

What a quaint place with wonderful, authentic Greek cuisine! A large portion of my family lives out this way, so it’s great to find a delicious alternative to the normal pizza and fried chicken that we normally find out here.
The interior is spotless and super cute with traditional white and blue styling. Greek music in the background and a few tvs showing soccer and football.
The owner, Nick is very friendly and truly loves bringing Greek cuisine and culture to the area. They have planted olive and lemon trees around the restaurant and grow all their spices no the premises.
They have a wide variety of choices on the menu (burgers and a few Mexican dishes for the less adventurous). Nick says they are planning to expand the menu soon with more vegan choices and items that are typically «specials».
We had the tzatziki with pita (yum!) Avgolemono soup (basically Greek chicken noodle soup), and a traditional gyro. All were delicious!
Planning to stop here every time we come to visit family. You should too.

Worth passing up every other restaurant. I was craving something fresh, homemade like and delicious. They do not disappoint

Pretty freaking good! I was shocked! I’ve pretty much gotten used to the quality of food in the beaumont/​yucaipa area. and it’s usually underwhelming. I had always passed by this restaurant when I briefly lived in yucaipa. I always thought «hmm greek food? Could be interesting.» Made mental note of it and saved it for a day when I wanted to try something different.
After about 2 years, that day finally came.
My husband was on his way from yucaipa and I asked him to pick up some gyros. I got the California gyro and I believe my husband picked the traditional one. When we opened it up, it actually LOOKED amazing. The meat was sliced but looked super juicy and with the tomatoes, avocados and tzaziki sauce on it? Looked and smelled amazing. It actually looked like a high quality picture of a gyro come to life. Haha
Anyways, couldn’t wait to take the first bite and all of a sudden it was gone. digesting away IN MAH BELLAY~ it tasted like they only use fresh ingredients. The pita or Flatbread or whatever it’s called was soft but firm enough to hold it together. The overall texture and taste was incredible. They definitely know what they’re doing at this location. It was sooo good, my husband and I ordered it again the next day.
Day 2, we tried the stuffed grape leaves, the chicken souvlaki, and the pork pita. It was all fantastic! The stuffed grape leaves were refreshingly delicious. We agreed that they tasted healthy which is great considering the options we normally have. Greek rice was awesome, chicken was awesome, the salad that came with the plate was pretty standard but still a great addition to the plate. The olives were delicious. not crazy about the pits though. I had to double check the plate I made for my son to make sure he didnt get any olives. choking hazard. hes only 2. :/​my son actually ate everything off his plate which is unbelievable because he’s a pretty picky eater.
The only con I’d have to say is that afterwards your breath is not. presentable? Lol. Make sure u follow up with gum, mint, mouthwash or a toothbrush when u eat their food. I think there’s a ton of garlic in it. Which I can live with. Garlic is super healthy and makes food super tasty. :)
We wanted to go back for a third day but thought it might be overkill. or at least that was my husband’s argument. I’m still not quite convinced but decided to listen. Lol. I know where to pick up food from now on! Yummmm~

I always go to greek restaurants and order the Gyro plate for my first meal. Yeah, it’s very typical and for enthusiast not very exciting but when a place gets the staples spot on… I’m hooked for life. The Fat Greek has incredible gyro meat! Full of flavor, stomach filling portions and for the price… You get what you pay for. I was beyond satisfied with my first experience here about a month ago. Friendly staff, fresh pita bread and again the portions are enough to keep you beyond satisfied. A couple dollars more than some of the spots in Redlands many are familiar with but I’d come here ANY day over the other guys.
My only complaint is during my visit the main menu had different prices than what was advertised on the take home menu or «sit down menu.» I asked why they were different and was told the take home menu was old. Maybe time to update that… I’m a stickler with being told different prices. Other than that this place is killer. Hoyer to have it so close to home.
