| - We finally went to the Greek Stop in Glenshaw for lunch today--on the advice of my wife's fellow library volunteers at the Northern Tier Library. The Greek Stop's a 25 minute drive from Bakerstown down Route 8 and over Harts Run road to the Saxonburg Blvd. corner Town Center, but it was very well worth the drive! The food was excellent! We each got Gyros with fries and a drink, and I got the set with the additional Greek Stop Salad. Wow! The salad was huge, and the dressing was so delicious that we ordered a cup to take home, along with leftovers of the salad which we had both shared. The fries and Gyros were in such large helpings that for lunch we wound up with enough food to take home for supper! And you couldn't have gotten better fries, as they were nicely crisp and delicious (I told the chef they blow some other fries we've had right out of the water). The Gyros were the best we've ever had. I could compare them easily to the ones I used to get for lunch at the little Greek take-out shop in Princeton, and these Gyros were not only as good, but were even bigger yet! The only wee complaint my wife had was that though the tzatziki sauce was fine, she would have liked a more on her Gyro.
I started off with a cup of Avgolemono soup--a delightfully gentle lemon flavored rice and chicken soup which I shared with my wife so she could see what it tasted like. We liked it enough to order up 2 nice bowls worth to take home for supper.
Although the Greek Stop appears to be nothing fancy, it's clean and bright inside, the food is delicious, the waitress and chef were very cheery and helpful, the service was fast--we had our drinks and soup immediately and the rest of our food in minutes and, though small, the place was very comfortable. We'll certainly be back--it's now on our short list of great places to eat! Next time we'll try for supper some evening.
Incidentally, the place also seems to do a lot of take-out as there were people in and out all the time we were there eating lunch along with the other singles, doubles and triples who were there for lunch while we were. A great spot all around, it appears!
