Our first time here and wow, what a restaurant! Everything was so flavorful! I loved the hummus and Greek salad, and my wife loved the chicken and beef kabobs plate with rice. The hibiscus drink and lemonade are homemade too...and very tasty. It’s a family owned and operated restaurant and they take their time preparing each order, so be prepared to wait a bit during peak hours. But it’s all worth it!

First time eating here. We ordered a Greek Mix plate and Gyro plate. Both were very good. Our kids really like it. Service was fast. The restaurant is clean. Parking was easy on Friday early evening. Definitely recommend it.

There is a parking lot outside of the restaurant and we spend around 15 per person! It was our first visit and we were really impressed by their polite service and the amazing food! The hibiscus drink is a must have! It’s minty and refreshing, and helps wash down the amazing meat and pita bread once you’ve finished. The food is all super healthy and flavorful, it is very light and fresh. There is an opening into the kitchen where you can see everything they cook, it’s amazing! It’s very clean and well organized! They also offer a rewards program that you get a free meal after 6 plates or sandwiches!! This restaurant is really cute and well decorated! I thought I was in Greece when I sat in the restaurant!

Best Greek food in town. The salads are my favorite. They are ample and made fresh every day and include yummy fresh Romaine . There is no table service. You order at the counter. They have tables, but this is not a fancy place or recommended for a romantic night out. However it is child friendly.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Petrino’s Greek! I ordered the Chicken and Beef Kabob Plate, and every bite was incredibly fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the care and quality in every ingredient. I also tried the lemonade infused with rose petals — it was so refreshing and unique, unlike anything I’ve had before. To top it all off, I finished with the baklava, and it was absolutely phenomenal — perfectly sweet, flaky, and satisfying. A huge thank you to the owner and the entire team for creating such a welcoming atmosphere and delivering such outstanding food. You can feel the passion behind everything you serve. I can't wait to come back!

I have been going to this restaurant since 2015. My son and I love their house made Hot sauce. Be sure to buy a bottle to take home with you. Great food

We had gyros here 2 years ago and are heading back next month when we visit San Diego for a month. Top 1 or 2 best gyros we have ever had. Back in Springfield, IL we have a Yannis Gyros that is the standard for us and we would have to eat theirs side by side to determine which one is better, if that would be possible. Petrinos is how a gyro should be made and taste. So looking forward to them again next month.
