| - The Mad Greek is everything I want in a Greek restaurant: interesting personnel, questionable decorating choices, no frills and great food.
The first time we ate here, we were the only patrons in the place - I was definitely worried. The same thing happened the next time. And the time after that.... Apparently, I just pick off-times for the place, because based on the gyro, tzaziki and Greek salad, it would surprise me that the place is dead.
My go-to meal here is a large Greek salad, topped with gyro meat and a side of that heavenly tzaziki sauce. It never fails to be an absolutely satisfying meal.
The waitstaff is friendly and attentive - even after walking in after closing (oops!) our waitress INSISTED that we place an order and sit down to eat.
In talking with another waitress, we learned that The Mad Greek sources its herbs and produce either from the veggie garden on the side of the property or from the local farmers market. They also source their meats from a small meat market in Charlotte.
If you're looking for a corporate, sterile dining experience, this is definitely not it. I can't speak for much of the menue, but I will give The Mad Greek my vote for best gyro in town.
