George's Greek Grill

Pretty good food here. I haven't eaten a lot of Greek or Mediterranean cuisines to comment about the authenticity but their seasoning and food quality is not disappointed. The greek salad is fresh and the dressing is quite thick but they go along well. I like the chicken skewer and side potatoes. However, the rice is a little bit dry and I'm not a fan of tzatziki sauce (should have chosen 3g sauce instead).

I've had George's Greek Grill at least 6-7 times. It's the closest Greek food to my house, and it's right next to my doctor's office, so it's convenient. The food is usually fairly good, but not consistently. So, let's talk details, shall we? The first time I had food here, I was impressed, with both the food and customer service. They offered me a sample of butternut squash and it was delicious! I appreciated the gesture, first and foremost, but it was also a good sign of things to come. The pork souvlaki was great. I quickly recommended the place to my parents, friends, brother, and fiance. My brother tried the burger and reported back that it was a little dry. The same could be said about the gyros my fiance had, very tough. My parents found the potatoes to be incredibly salty. I was unscathed, chalked their experiences up to off days, afterall no restaurant is without some mistakes on occasion. However, in my visits back over time, I can attest to the fact that the food is inconsistent. Heres a little more information on that: The souvlaki sticks are consistently great. I especially like that they include some bell peppers and onions on their skewers, I don't know any other place that does this. The 3G sauce is phenomenal. It would be good on literally anything. The potatoes are sometimes good, but more often that not they're too salty. When they're salty, it's far and away the saltiest potatoes I've ever had, anywhere. The biggest issue? The rice. Probably half the times I've had George's, there are very hard/borderline inedible rice grains mixed in with perfectly fine ones. My hypothesis is that it's an old batch of rice mixed with a fresh batch. I'll include a picture of this, as well as what the rice looks like when it's good, so you can compare for yourself. Notice the darker/golden grains, those are rock solid. So, why the 1 star? I'd give the food alone 2-3 / 5. However, after reading George's responses to valid criticism here on his reviews, it's an easy 1 star. I won't be returning. The condescending tone he takes with his customers is unacceptable; being that defensive and rude is absolutely uncalled for, especially belittling people's palates, and telling them to dine elsewhere/not come back. You got it, George. I'll be taking my business to Colossus, I'd highly recommend anyone reading this do the same.

BEST GREEK FOOD IN MISSISSAUGA!!! Visited for first time tonight and I ordered the gyro dinner. While I was waiting for my take out the lady working there offered me a nice little sample of their daily soup. How nice!!! Gyro, tzatziki and sides were best I’ve had in years. They are also very friendly! I will be supporting this small business from here forward. 10/10.
