The transition of moving to the West Valley from Tempe has been challenging when it comes to outstanding restaurants. The West is more of a Chili's, Olive Garden kind of area so looking at a "local" chain wasn't my first choice but Big Fat Greek Glendale is exceptional. We have eaten here several times over the past two or three years and have taken friends and family whenever we have visitors. Saturday nights a belly dancer thoroughly engaged and entertained our entire party, especially the kids.
The food is outstanding and the portions are substantial. Unfortunately, I am stuck ordering the Gyro Platter every time because it's so good and so big I just can't bring myself to try anything else. Though when dining with other I often sneak tastes and have never been disappointed. At least twice a month I start to crave the traditional hummus and lemon potatoes.
I have noticed, on occasion, somewhat unhappy tables around us because of service but they seem to be normal experiences when dealing with human beings. We, however, have always had great service and never experienced anything deserving of some of the of the drama-laden reviews people post. I imaging there is always drama where they go.
This is on of our favorite West Valley restaurants. Large beers and great food are a difficult mix to complain about.
