Greek Belly

This is one of my most favorite restaurants, the atmosphere is cozy. It’s smells so good in the restaurant while you read the menu. Our waitress, Bea, was amazing. She helped us navigate the menu and added to our whole experience. The food was so full of flavor, fresh vegetables, just so good. Try this place I travel an hour and a half just for this wonderful food.

It was a nice little place downtown. The parking is okay, but the little shop is nice. Music was a little loud, thankfully I was by myself and did t have to worry about talking to people. The food was really good. The pork for the gyro was a little dried out but otherwise it was great. I love the French fries in it. The side salad had with it was great. Every bit/vegetable was seasoned well and there was a giant pile of feta cheese on top of it. I would definitely go back.

AMAZING food, wonderful service, and great prices! This is a must try in Springfield, especially if you like Greek food. The pumpkin pie baklava was delicious. Our server Tyler was attentive and friendly, the other staff were also helpful and welcoming. Tiny shop that packs a phenomenal experience!

First time at this restaurant even though it’s a Springfield classic. The sandwich and tea were delicious. The only downfall was the lack of parking but that is normal downtown.

First time visiting Greek Belly, highly recommend! Our server was wonderful, restaurant is cute, and the food was fantastic! Tried the Atlantis Gyro and the flavor combo was perfection. Spicy, sweet, savory…all the things you want in a well rounded entree. Fries were crispy, well seasoned and delicious.

This quickly became one of my favorite places to eat in Springfield after eating there for the first time last night. My wife who has been to Greece says the atmosphere absolutely reminded her of being in Greece. The building that it is in is small and it reminded her of a small cafe just off the coast. She said the only thing missing was the smell of the sea. The food itself was absolutely amazing She had the Minotaur gyro and I had some meat skewers and a sausage with a Greek salad. I am on a high protein diet and it was easy to accommodate that diet there. The food was phenomenal. I've eaten out a lot of Greek places in my travels across the United States and I didn't know the best one was so close to home.

Greek food is one of my most favorite meals out there. The Belly has some of the BEST! Wanting to try as many dishes as possible, we ordered the Prometheus Feast with (a must have) spanikopita. It was all fabulous. When I find a place I adore, I always ask if I can buy a shirt. Beg, if they only offer them to employees... sometimes I get lucky and score one!

I could not have been more thrilled having Greek Belly cater my wedding back in October!! The communication and service was incredible and truly thoughtful. We added hors d’oeuvres to be passed during our cocktail hour and they were absolutely delicious. Couldn’t have been more happy. My husband and I live in NY and would come back to Springfield and put our trust in this establishment again and again. 10/10

Greek Belly is outstanding! Checks the box for food, service, and ambiance. Gorgeous decorated spot with an intimate feeling. Smaller restaurant so I am sure it gets busy on the weekend! B was an amazing server, very attentive, gave recommendations, and very kind. Souvlaki trio was to die for, 5/5. Pork, lamb, and chicken were all so tender, cooked perfectly. Best fries. Loved the sides of hummus and Taziki. Have to end with a sweet treat here! Throughly enjoyed the baklava with yogurt.

Great spot. Memorable decor and great service. We both had the souvlaki with we deemed just a bit over-cooked. Lamb is tricky and either this one spent too much time under a heat lamp or was just a bit overcooked. Everything else was perfect, so a return trip we will try the chicken or some other selection Good enough for another shot for sure.

Went back to Greek Belly for lunch with my wife, and it was just as incredible the second time around. This place continues to deliver on flavor, freshness, and friendliness. We kicked things off with the Feta Fries, and wow -- they're a must-try! Perfectly crisp fries topped with a generous mound of fresh feta that melts just enough to blend with the seasoning. It's the perfect starter that bridges American comfort and Greek tradition in the best way possible. For the main course, I went with The Kraken, and it didn't disappoint. Stuffed and loaded, it's the perfect size for a satisfying lunch gyro. Think all the signature Greek flavors -- juicy chicken and beef, fresh veggies, and their creamy house-made tzatziki -- but with a fun California burrito twist thanks to the fries tucked inside. Every bite was packed with flavor and texture. We had a different server this time, but she was just as friendly and attentive as our first. The staff here keep the vibe laid-back, warm, and welcoming -- exactly what you want when you're grabbing a casual lunch out. If you haven't been to Greek Belly yet, do yourself a favor and go. Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, it's the kind of spot that keeps you coming back.

The food this tiny kitchen creates is really good. The portions are reasonable - not too small and not too big. I ordered the Midas wrap with lamb and beef and it was very savory. My parents shared a plate and were very happy with their meal. The inside is funky, bright, and colorful with a small amount of tables lining the walls with high tops in the back. Service was friendly but a bit overwhelmed. We beat the dinner rush as the tables quickly filled after our arrival. Great location on Walnut with private parking.

Got the moussaka and it was fantastic. Would totally come back! Was filling, fresh, and delicious

The food here is excellent. I travel to NYC often, and would compare Greek Belly to the best of the Greek food I've had there. And the ambiance inside, too, stands above the typical Springfield restaurant. I wouldn't say this restaurant transports me to Greece--it's more American Greek food than that. But I would say that it transports me to Astoria, Queens, NYC, to the many excellent Greek restaurants there--that's the vibe I get inside Greek Belly. The service has been good here, and the food is always excellent. I do wish y'all had some gyro lamb/beef--lacking that is the only imperfection I see. But the chicken is world class, and I always leave happy and full.

Wow! This food is very fresh and super flavorful! Service is efficient and the kitchen worked very effectively to provide a great lunch. We will be back.

We eat here about once a week. We placed an order for takeout today and they really dropped the ball. I've never been disappointed before. My salad was half the size it usually is and missing the usual ingredients of black olives and banana peppers. My other two orders of Smyrna Rice only received half of the pita bread we receive at the restaurant. For $61.00 I hope this isn't the new norm.

Amazing service, absolutely incredible food. The sauces are to die for. I got the falafel platter, and it was delicious. I've had a pita/gyro here before and it was also very good. I've only had good experiences. I definitely recommend this place. And it's cute to boot!

I Love this establishment. Great food and cool atmosphere. The menu is very authentic, As well as the decor. The owner is usually present and the food is always amazing. Cool place! Will be back soon!

This little place is AMAZING. Wonderful food. Fantastic ambience. Mouth watering gyros, dolmades, and baklava! The closest I've gotten in the states since my time in Greece!! I am definitely coming back, again and again.

We love Greek Belly so much!!!!! My boyfriend is a huge fan of their food, and loves the Greek flavors and ingredients. I myself am still warming up to it,, only because I grew up a picky eater!! But everything in the menu has such a great amount of flavor and it's cooked to perfection. I think my favorite part of Greek Belly is the restaurant itself. The decoration is so fun, the umbrellas are perfect for the Greek decor. I am obsessed with it.. Service is always great too! Everyone seems like they're happy to work there. We love Greek Belly!!!!

Staying downtown and wanted to grab some food close to the hotel. Luckily enough for us. Greek Belly was almost across the street. We walked in around 5:40 and got seated immediately. Discovered we had caught the tail end of happy hour! So we quickly ordered several skewers and a dip and pita to try! The apps: chicken skewer had good seasoning and was tender. Would get again. Pork skewer was my favorite. It had a little more chew because of the fattiness in the meat. Fat is flavor so I wasnt upset at all. Seasoning was great. Falafel was good I wish we got a few more! Pro tip from waiter was to dip falafel in our dip and yes it made it so much better! Dip and pita we chose the spicy feta blend and my daughter and I thought it had some great flavor. Pretty sure we licked the bowl clean. I ordered the Hercules gyro - huge! 2x everything except the sauce. I think it needed more sauce. Meat flavor was on point and the pita was soft and held up to all the juices. She got the Minotaur and she said it was really good. She almost was able to eat the whole gyro! The fries were the star! Those dang fries were fried to perfection and had some amazing seasoning! Next time I want a side of fries with my gyro! Until next time Springfield!

I don't remember the last time my family was this happy about a meal! The kids started off grouchy and complaining that they "don't even like Greek food!!!!" because we were all so hungry when we arrived. It was prime lunch hour, so the small restaurant was packed and the kitchen was busy. We had an understandably long wait, but let me tell you- when the food arrived everyone's attitude changed. The warm pita is amazing, we ordered a side of garlic sauce (incredible, even the kids loved it), and each of our meals was worthy of a letter home. We ordered 3 of the vegan options and they were filling, fresh, and joy-inducing. Now the kids want to come back weekly to get their favorite Greek food - how's that for a transformation? The restaurant is SO fun inside. You are transported straight to a Greek isle, or a Mamma Mia! movie. We highly recommend this place for families AND vegans!

Authentic, delicious Greek cuisine! Not to mention the great service. We got the Dip appetizer with the whipped feta peperoncini dip and the gyros platter with the garlic dip and both were phenomenal. Will definitely be back!

First time visiting here. Have been to several of the neighboring businesses in the past. And kept wanting to try this. The Greek Belly did not disappoint. From the saganaki opa lit on fire table side by our server, to the huge chicken rice bowl, and finalized with the peach marmalade Greek yogurt, all the food was great. We were amazed at the size of the rice bowl and the dessert. And the flaming cheese is a fun experience that got neighboring tables talking when it was lit on fire. We will definitely be making a return trip here.

Their food is always top notch authentic Greek food. I ordered delivery today and an item was left out - they went above and beyond to bring me the missing item. I've always loved this restaurant, but now I'm a lifetime customer. Highly recommend for authentic local Greek food!

Traveling and wanted a good meal, this place was amazing! Loren was great with recommendations and service! Felt homey and comfortable.

We're baaaaaaacck! Greek Belly was our first stop in Springfield last night. It did not disappoint. My original review stands as 100% accurate. Food, service, cleanliness and atmosphere - all 5 stars. Do recommend!

I was visiting in town and we stopped here on a recommendation. I was looking for something healthy, but still really tasty. I told my son I wanted chic food. While this doesn't constitute chic Food, possibly, it definitely hits the healthy and scrumptious category. I have to say I'm a little bit upset that we don't have this restaurant in my hometown. Their food was over the top amazing. It was so so good. I ended up eating here two days in a row. On the second day I got the order to go when my family wanted to eat another restaurant. Is it bad that I took my order into another restaurant? ? lol. The food was amazing and I felt like I got a good healthy whole meal without all the processed junk. I definitely love this place and would suggest this place to anyone. The portions are really big so you don't have to worry about walking away, hungry. You can walk away feeling really full and knowing that you had a healthy male that doesn't make you feel like you're going to have stomach rot after. Something about Greek food ... get the fries, get the feta, dive in and enjoy. It's a real treat.

Loved coming here when I visit Springfield! Service is always great, restaurant is clean, service is fast. Ambiance varies depending on how busy it is! It can get busy in the evening! Food is authentic and fresh.

Consistently good food! I've never been to Greece but have heard others say this stuff is authentic! I judge all other Greek food against Greek belly.

The portions were generous, but I've had better Greek salad. I really appreciated the heap of feta, but wanted more than eight olives. I found it interesting that there were no beef gyro options, only chicken or pork. And I wasn't a fan of the pork. Maybe it's because I didn't get the right food, but I don't think I will go back. The Loux cherry soda was good, just be aware it's small ($2.50 for 10 fl oz.)

Amazing food and service! The Hercules gyro was perfect and the Greek Mule is the best!

This is an amazing place to eat. Real Greek food. John and his staff is amazing very friendly and makes you feel welcome. And food is very savory

These fries are AMAZING! The pita I got is fantastic and my son loves his grilled cheese! I'm so glad I got Greek Belly for dinner tonight! Can't believe I've lived 500ft away for more than a year and never ate here. I've got to make up for lost time. Quaint little spot downtown that fits the vibe beautifully. They've always got customers, so that should tell you everything you need to know.

Real Greek food. Very friendly and attentive service. Even decorations are authentic.

Wife has been wanting to try this place for awhile; especially since we are tons of Greek food in Oregon. It's actually a pretty small place so I wouldn't recommend coming in with a party bigger than 4, even then you may have trouble finding seats. You place your order at the counter and they bring it to you; which took awhile to get our order. I was also extremely disappointed they didn't offer Lamb for my gyro. It was okay but definitely nothing amazing, and didn't compare to the more traditional food we have had. My wife actually said the Greek place in the Mall was way better.. So while I appreciate the diversity; these "ethic food" places need to step up their game. We are ready for real diversity people; give it to us!!!

First time I've been in Springfield. My wife and I stopped here for lunch. Our waiter was great. Decor is cute. Great beer selection. We split a bowl of chicken avgelemono soup and the souvlakis plate with chicken, pork, and vegetable. The food was wonderful. Definitely worth stopping in.

Let's play spot the feta cheese and spinach in my spanakopita Falafel appetizer looks store bought like a hockey puck not home made and it didn't come with any sauce. Ever try to eat a dry falafel? At no time did the server asked do you want sauce? First time here. Will keep looking for some place to eat.

Nice little restaurant in downtown. Place look chill. Love the vibe and the deco inside. If u look up the at the ceiling, there are a lot of different colors umbrella hanging. We order the Prometheus Platter a mix grill meats of beefteki, loukaniko, souvlaki stick, garlic french fries, some red onions and tomatoes salad with two dips ( tzatziki, drunken red pepper) and warm crunchy pitas. The meat was so juicy and amazing. I love dipping the pita bread in the tzatziki sauce with the tomato and onion. It have the nice warm and crispy taste together and then I eat the loukaniko so gooood!! The beefteki was like a meatball, I try it with the red pepper dip and it tastes very delicious. The chicken stick was okie, not my favorite but it was not bad. I also got a side of village salad which taste fresh and refreshing. And of course couldn't forget to order a baklava for dessert. It was so good. One of the best I ever have. A must try greek place in Springfield downtown.

Our experience here was terrible. We ordered a Medusa and a Kraken for carryout. Our food took a long time and then both were so salty or over seasoned or something so we could barely eat them. Also, the staff was so rude to us. We ordered at 6:30pm on Saturday night so they were super busy. At 7pm I went to to ask for a refund and they finally gave us our food. When I complained about the wait I felt almost ganged up on by the staff in their response. The waitress who took our order did not tell us it would be 30 minutes and we saw two takeout orders go out before us. One of those other takeout orders even mentioned they were surprised we hadn't received our food yet. This was a surprising and very disappointing experience for super not good food. Maybe this was an anomaly but this was our experience.

Excellent service and food! We were in town for a conference, and saw excellent reviews of Greek Belly. We had the Falafel Meze and the Souvlaki Trio. Delicious! Our waiter was attentive and so friendly. We highly recommend!

Delicious food. Family friendly. Stopped here on our road trip and was very happy. My spouse spent a summer in Greece many years ago and was excited to see how authentic the gyros were from his memory.

I do not see what all the hype is about Greek Belly... it's horrible!! The restaurant is small, overcrowded, and it was very hot inside for it only being in the high 70° outside. And the parking is horrible! We ordered the to-go pork Gryo platter for my hubby for $14.00. The portion of overcooked burnt to crispy hard shredded pork was SO small it reminded us of a child's plate. We both decided on the greek fries which were good and the slaw which is bitter tasting. I got the souvlaki platter with 2 skewers of pork for $16.00 and paid $2.00 extra for 1 skewer of lamb. The pork was cubed the size of a dime and the lamb was even a little smaller than a dime. All the meat had a lot of fat on them so they were greasy but had a nice flavor with a little kick of spice. Again a child's size portion. Nothing could get us to ever go back...from fighting to get a parking spot to the overpriced child sized portions the Greek Belly is not worth revisiting!!

The servers were helpful and not overbearing, the actual restaurant is quite small, but one might say it added a somewhat noisier and celebratory air! The flaming cheese was a treat! However, our 6 meals can only be described as good, but not great or anything to be sure to stop for, unfortunately.

Hey John....Here is the scathing review I promised. A couple of weeks ago I ordered the souvlaki trio for pick up with tzatziki sauce. Upon arriving home discovered they had given me the wrong sauce. I only like the tzatziki. I called back and asked for a do over since my food would have been cold by time I could make another round trip. They agreed....so I load up and head back (without my wallet). I get the order and the server replied "my bad" when she gave it to me. I asked for an extra sauce thinking that would be the least they could do after I had to make another round trip. Oh no, there was a charge. I explained I didn't have my wallet but to no avail. Upon arriving home, I discovered they had not included slaw in my do over. When I called, the server said, "well, I gave you slaw the first time"....which was now hot. I decided to phone John (owner) to explain about my unhappy experience. His first response was "what can I do in order to make me happy so I would not post this review". I said, "you tell me". He said, "no, you tell me". I thought ok, perhaps another do over. I was in the process of saying that when out of nowhere, he interrupted me to say, "I don't respond to threats" and then hung up on me!!!!!!!!!!! What ever happened to customer service? He said he had been in the restaurant business for 75 years....evidently, he hasn't learned much in that time about customer service (which is out of the window these days). SO, I want to discourage everyone from going there and try CRAVE restaurant instead (Greek). It is 100 times better. They are on Republic Road across the street from Mama Jean's. Try their lemonade! Also, John, the tzatziki sauce you get at Aldi's is much better than yours. Judy N.

I would rate this place 5 stars for the atmosphere and decor alone. Sitting there actually made me feel as if I could actually be in some part of Greece. The issue was that I sat there in Greece way too long before my food order came out and received a soft drink refill. The City Salad was very under dressed and the Slovaki Chicken Kabobs were a bit thin and under seasoned. If I were to return, I would definitely try a Gyro.

This place was a great find...coming from Seattle passing thru I was hungry. This place was awesome, look at the picture I was full after eating this, very delicious. Great job guys

I placed a Togo order and was not disappointed. My order was ready when I arrived. The creamy garlic dip was a little spicy, but the hummus and tzatziki were phenomenal. Definitely recommend this place!

We stopped in for dinner July 22, 2024. The food was great. Both the wife's dinner as well as mine were delicious. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very professional and great personality. We were visiting from New Mexico and so was heading further east.

The servers are rude. I've worked in the culinary industry for 30 years. In family restaurants and ultra fine dining. But it doesn't matter what type of establishment, how good the food is or how awesome the atmosphere...rude service equals bad restaurant. I'll never go back.

Family dinner on Saturday and we were thrilled to find this jewel on Yelp. Lived up to its 4.4 star rating. Seated right away, we were delighted by the cozy atmosphere with creative umbrella ceiling decor. Wait staff were attentive and gracious in sharing recommendations on the menu... which did not disappoint. Two in our family shared the Prometheus shareable platter and a Kraken gyro. The other two had a create your own bowl and Atlantis pita. After enjoying their homemade baklava, we left full and happy. Such a great experience. We would highly recommend.

This place is probably our favorite restaurant in Springfield. It's always busy in the evenings but the service is really efficient and everyone is really friendly. We always opt for the gyro platter: chicken or pork, french fries, vinegar slaw, tomatoes/cucumber/onion. They give you healthy portions but we always get the falafel mezze (4 freshly fried falafel balls). And if you've got a sweet tooth, they have excellent baklava!

So. Good. Got the Greek salad with both pork and chicken and it was amaaaazing. I would mainline their garlic dip sauce if I could.

This place is so cute and the food is amazing! We had incredible service. The gyros are so authentic and the kids meals incorporate Greek elements while keeping American staples that kids love (i.e. burger on pita). We will come back when we're back in Springfield!

The food was pretty good, the servers were very nice, but the one thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the seating. It's a little bit smaller of a place, so people were packed in like sardines. We went right at the lunch rush so that part is us, but next time I'll wait til just after the rush and then go. Because once it cleared out a bit it was just fine. We will go back

Stopped in whilst touring the murals of Springfield. Very quaint restaurant with hip dacor, great service and amazing food! We had the "Kraken" gyro with a small salad and spanakopita. Everything was a hit, fresh and excellent. The sandwich was nicely stuffed, the spanakopita light and flaky, and the salad has a nice helping of real feta. Great little neighborhood gem. The employees really up the overall experience.

Nice staff Cute interior Really good gyros Spouse had Greek salad and a pork pita. I had the Atlantis Pita. All I can say is YUM!
