| - I went with the bf and his friend on Sat night.
What seemed like cons weren't:
Don't park at the fest, park for free at Chuck Schwab on Lincoln, and take free shuttle.
Long line for food? Moved quickly.
Very crowded, looking for seating? Just keep walking, tables were meant to be shared with your extended Greek family.
We pretty much had a smorgasbord of as many tasty options as we could and shared or at least tried each others food.
My personal favorites: The chicken, Greek fries, Loukoumades (honey balls!!!!), and dolmades with beef and the lemon dill sauce mmmmm!!
The Mythos beer was tasty and stronger than Bud Light.
The chicken souvlaki was a little disappointing, and I am spoiled and much prefer my bf's pastichio (Greek lasagna). The tubey noodles were interesting, but the sauce just didn't have that extra special something. Maybe not enough cinnamon?
Prices were okay, nothing unreasonable for a fest. Some portions were more generous than others, but just get what you like.
All the good Greek pastries were available please excuse my spelling, but at least I can pronounce them- melamakarna, koudambethes, baklava, the Easter bread, and more.
There was beautiful artwork and jewelry to look at (or to buy if you have more money than me), Greek merchandise with funny sayings on the tshirts and aprons, and of course, charity tables, because it was at the Greek Orthodox church, and it's good to help others. The best part was, you think you've seen all they have to offer, and you realize there's another room of stuff to look at, eat, etc.
We go almost every year, I like this location better than when it was in Scottsdale, and we'll be back next year.
