Greek Eats, Shrewsbury [NJ]

For those HOs who missed that one, here’s an outtake from the pics. In it I believe @NotJrvedivici is thinking he’s going to need to rent a second stomach for the night. Also featured prominently in the pic is @CurlzNJ left elbow.

yet again I want to point out the amazingness of JR doing this challenge in a suit and tie instead of sweats like a mere mortal…

I’m pretty sure by the end of it the jacket and tie were off, you know once the meat sweats started.

It wasn’t just ANY suit and tie, either… PINSTRIPES and some pretty stylin’ shoes, as I recall! But yes, the jacket and tie did eventually come off.

Well I didn’t want to start a new thread but has anyone tried gyro chef in Eatontown? I had lunch today and the chicken platter wasn’t too impressive. Greek eats destroys this place. I must say I did like their super salty feta though. For ten bucks I can get twice as much food at Greek eats.

Will most likely be heading here tmw. Very excited as it’s been a while. I look forward to another chance to review. Platter or gyro is my big choice of the day

Let’s here the review if you went. I am really hoping this place lasts. The few recent trips I had were great and there was good traffic. Things look promising

FYI don’t know if you noticed but they are delivering now!

That is awesome. I hope this place makes it. I’m too far for delivery but it is nice to hear they are “expanding”…if you will. The only thing is, I like to mingle with the food servers so I doubt I would ever get a heaping pile of food if delivery was an option. I use my devilishly handsome good looks to get a plate of food fit for a king (for those that don’t know me that is a huge joke lol :sweat_smile:)

like much in my life lately- work got in the way and I didn’t;t reach the area until well after closing…would have posted a Jersey Mike’s review, but didn’t;t feel like eating a sandwich prepared by a guy taking out trash and mopping up…

will have to wait- but very much enjoy this place…hoping they make it, but my sense is skewed b/c I’m always there like 20 min before closing…

I can post a review of Shake Shack in VA finally- GREAT…ruined me for other burgers for a while.great fries, shakes…and the burgers had a great mineral meaty taste…have to try Pour House soon again compare my local fav to them in my mind (PH passed Barnacle Bills as tops in my book in the Monmouth County area…)

Greek eats tonight was good as usual. They def don’t mind hooking you up on portions which I obliged. Beefteki loaded with red onions feta olives tomatoes cucumbers and tzatziki was well enjoyed as I sit here with a full stomach. Got there a bit earlier than normal and def noticed some more action than when I usually show up. Can’t be beat for 8 bucks

@corvette_johnny weren’t you looking for good fresh cut fries??

Not me but I hear those are pretty decent. I think they are seasoned with thyme and rosemary possibly.

You’re welcome!!
(Noticed this while at lunch today)

BOO. YAH! :joy:

Nice! I actually had the mixed grill for two last night at bayroot. The appella one is a much larger and better but I believe that place is gone. Oh well. I think I might have to try the stamna mixed grill next.

What time were you at Bayroot last night? I was Europa our reservations were at 8pm as we were walking in it sounded like Bayroot was rocking, like a big party was going on. Sadly Europa sucked last night, like honestly I think the chef/head cook must have quit or been sick.

Yeah I was there at 8 and it was railed. Service was super slow. I was debating whether to try bayroot or europa. For 45 bucks I could have had 4 Greek eat platters and a lot more food, but you live and learn. It was decent but I wasn’t too impressed. It said the dish came with a salad. That never showed up and I never said anything. The shish kebab was the best of all 5 meats and had some bold flavor to it. The kafta was pretty weak. They got the grilled vegetables right with some good char but they needed a little s and p which I had to ask for. The side is a dish of rice and we had to ask for a spoon to serve it. Overall I won’t be rushing back but I would like to explore a few apps that looked tasty.

I am still a fan of nikkos. Their bread and olives just go well with a glass of wine. I guess comparing Greek vs leb isnt apples to apples, but to me they are pretty close.

Has anyone been hammering down these 5 dollar gyros?
