Think Grill

Purchased a groupon for a 5 punch card worth $7 each punch. On my first visit, the guys were so polite to explain everything to me with the meats they had, their popular items, specials, etc. I proceeded to order the special which consists of gyro, side, and 20oz soda. I chose the beef/lamb meat that was made in house, the sliced spicy chicken side. The side came in a large pint container, pretty large for a side which was awesome! The gyro comes with lettuce, tomato, white sauce, and a few French fries. I thought the French fries was a bit weird, but the gyro is the best I've ever had! The pita was warm, toasted, and soft. The beef/lamb was flavorful, and just the right amount of white sauce. I could probably do without the French fries, but it was a unique twist. The spicy sliced chicken side was a bit spicy, but it was great too! I look forward to coming back and trying the other items, especially the ribs and desserts!

When I hear the words "Greek food",  my taste buds do a dance.  Sadly, they were not dancing last night at Think Grill.  We eat regularly at Pithari and Taverna Ouzo and are serious lovers of real Greek food. I was hoping for the best but they did not meet our standards. My husband wanted to order one of their delectable sounding sandwiches until he learned that fries are on the sandwich. He didn't  want  fries and asked to have the sandwich without them.  The answer was no.  NO?  I was afraid to ask why. Were the sandwiches made hours ago? At any rate, he ordered  white meat chicken on a skewer accompanied by the special string beans.   The chicken was fine but the string beans were not seasoned quite right and we were expecting Athenian String Beans,as they serve them at Ya Ya's Kitchen. I had pastitsio with lemon potatoes on the side. The pastitsio needed much more cinnamon, and the lemon potatoes were lacking in lemon! Perhaps this restaurant is an attempt to cater to folks who want something interesting to eat but are not familiar with Greek food.  It's somewhat of  an introduction to the cuisine, but it doesn't make it. I wonder if we will  return....

It was just fine.  I would go again if I needed to get take out.  I'm actually curious to see if the gyros are good since I just got the Greek burger which was fine, but nothing to really write home about.  The one thing is it was cooked on the grill to order which was nice.  I felt like the meat might have been a bit too lean or something for my tastes, as well.

Fries were decent, tzaziki sauce was pretty good.  I would definitely like to get a chance to try the gyros next time though.
