| - Tucked in between the Five Guys and that God-forsaken Encore Bistro at the shopping center at Blakeney is this quaint and quite delicious Greek restaurant that adheres to simple options and a ginormous bowl of tasty.
I always lean towards the salad to start with, especially the Peasant Greek salata, chock full of giant tomatoes and a super generous serving of red onions, cucumber, and oil and vinegar. Sop all this up with generous serving of pita wedges. Feel free to ask for me, if you run out of pita wedges. And while you're at it, sample their hummus; choose from the traditional, or be bold and try whatever wacky-yet-gastronomically-awesome combination the Mad Hummus Scientist in the back's whipped up for you.
Main course, I can't stay away from the grilled chicken breast gyro. Generous, and I mean GENEROUS servings of diced chicken breasts, smothered (but not drowned) in tzatziki. DELISH!
You gotta have their hand-cut fries. Sure, you can play it safe and order the plain hand-cut fries, but be bold, the same way our Greek forefathers were bold, and plop your pretty little face into a basket of the lemon oregano fries. I could make a meal out of these delish little delights on a daily basis. Who cares if my arteries clog up with thick coats of peanut oil and lemon oregano? You only live once.
Everything here is clearly fresh and homemade, and if you the Greeks, you know they take their food seriously. They respect the dish, and you better damned well respect the dish too! Their homemade hummus and tzatziki is available for take out as well, so pick some up for home. Perfect for entertaining guests. Or yourself. Whatever works.
I also love the contemporary Greek pop music that's piped in on some Sirius XM radio feed. I'm noshing on my grilled chicken breast gyro and bopping my head to some Greek version of "Call Me Maybe," and it occurs to me that my bopping may be misconstrued as mockery. Oh, come on! I love "Call Me Maybe," especially when sung in another language!
Also, as a side note, I've seen Steve Smith of the Panthers eat here a couple of times. If this place is good enough for the best player ever to wear a Panthers jersey (and why am I gushing, considering I'm a lifelong Giants fan?), then Greco Fresh Grille is good enough for me.
Another also: Steve Smith is really short for a wide receiver. I mean REALLY SHORT.
