This is a beautiful restaurant located in a really nice section of Hollywood. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and vey calming. Maya, our server was very friendly and very attentive. There was on minor issue with the service, but I really don't blame our server. We ordered soup and asked if it could come out first, before our main courses. It did, but literally only a couple of minutes before our main courses came out, not giving us enough time to eat it. I think this was more an issue with the food runner than our server. The food was a mixed bag. The soup had a nice broth, although it was a little thin compared to the avgolemono soup we are used to. The chicken in the soup was not good,it was dry and tasteless and seemed to be old. I ordered the beef/lamb pita wrap. It was served with a small side salad and fries and everything was excellent. My wife ordered the Greek salad with lamb (added). The salad was beautiful, but the tomatoes were tasteless and somewhat mealy. The dressing was a little too vinegary, but that is a personal taste thing, not necessarily the fault of the restaurant. The lamb was excellent. Overall the food was good, but not great because of these issues.

The restaurant is located almost in the heart of Hollywood, Florida. From the outside, the place looks cozy and inviting, but inside there is a noticeable smell of dampness, which immediately ruins the impression. If you’re coming here for the food, the choice is questionable. The chicken kebab was completely bland: the meat was barely marinated, no sauce was served, and as a result the dish was very dry and unsuccessful. The octopus was overcooked — rubbery and took forever to chew. The Greek salad tasted fine, but the tomato cuts were overly large and inconvenient to eat. On the positive side, the White Sangria cocktail was excellent and very well prepared. The service started off okay, but after declining a dish for the second time, the waitress clearly showed her dissatisfaction, which felt unprofessional. Good location and appearance, but the food quality and service do not meet expectations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience at The Greek Joint Kitchen & Bar in Hollywood! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. I tried the Chicken Souvlaki Stick Platter and it was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and worth every dollar. What I really liked is that they bring fresh bread to every guest before the main dishes — it was warm, tasty, and a great start to the meal. Definitely a spot I would recommend if you’re looking for authentic and tasty Greek food in the area. I’ll be coming back!

We had a lovely dinner here last week. Everytime we come to Florida we like to visit this restaurant. By day 7 into our vacation we were craving a home cooked meal. The meal did not disappoint, it was just what were craving and tasted like ‘yia yia’s’ cooking. The staff were all very friendly and Maya, our server, deserves a 10/10 rating. She was so attentive and friendly. Thank you again for a wonderful evening and delicious meal!!

Local Greek place right on the middle of downtown with outdoor seating. Nice service, but food was slow coming out and to get check. Orzo salad was huge and tasty. Fries are enough for the whole table. Fresh bread and olive with herbs given to the table was great, bread was really good.

I ordered the house Greek salad which was fresh and healthy. Then I had their Mousaka which was very good. The service, on the other hand, is not up to the standard of the food. The servers neeed to be retrained to know when a customer asks for something, the server has to prioritize better how to handle each request in a timely manner.

Ive come to dine at the Greek Joint twice with my husband. After the first time I couldnt wait to return. Yesterday we went back for his birthday. We were served by Maya again. Both times she was friendly, made great suggestions and made me feel like I was visiting a friend. The fried cheese with lemon cannot be missed, followed by the Filet Mignon kabobs. I cant say enough about how delicious the food is, how generous the portions are and how great the service is. Food has been boring today compared to our meal last night :)

ur experience at The Great Joint was incredibly disappointing. We had made a reservation for a large group after a funeral, a time when we were already emotional and simply hoping for a peaceful meal together. Unfortunately, from the very beginning, the situation was mishandled. We had not confirmed any specific menu or package — only discussed the possibility of dessert platters with a staff member named Marta. Yet when we arrived, we were met with confusion and an unapologetic attitude from Alex, the owner. Instead of compassion or understanding, we were treated with indifference. Alex was completely unapologetic and dismissive, which made an already difficult day even harder. It’s heartbreaking that a place that should represent hospitality could show so little care for grieving guests. I truly hope The Great Joint reflects on this experience and learns to treat its customers — especially those walking through painful moments — with more empathy and respect.

Came here on a whim with my cousin for a bite to eat and I was so glad we did. The service was good the ambiance has a luxury greek feel to it you have the option to eat outside or inside and has enoigh space for a big party.The food was great the chicken with the lemon potatoes are delicious the French fries are just sinfully good the burger was good too. The only thing I didn't like was we came for happy hour and the server didn't give us the option to choose. Besides that the establishment was food

This place is a hidden gem in Hollywood! I have been here twice for lunch. Despite the location being on a busy street, the outdoor seating is comfortable and service is always attentive. I've tried the dips and the Greek salad with chicken. The dips are fresh and flavorful and the Greek salad is so refreshing!! The chicken is savory, seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The Greek joint is authentic and is definitely worth a try!

The Greek Joint is always good. But since their recent remodeling, they have elevated their service and quality and creativeness even more. We arrived at 6:30 on a Friday night and it wasn't crowded. We sat outside with our dog, Augusto and it was so relaxing. They had nice special dinners available for $45; appetizer, entree and dessert. I didn't get that this time though. I ordered salmon encrusted with feta over tasty orzo. Also had octopus as an appetizer. A refreshing Moscow Mule was served in a traditional copper cup, but with a whimsical seahorse handle. Service was excellent!!! Very friendly and attentive.

Made it back! Boy has Hollywood gotten popular! We got lucky enough to be able yp Park just adjacent and in we walked. They have expanded and renovated since we last went. It's a pretty versatile interior that lends to anything from a first date to a small adult birthday party. It's pretty cozy as it was before but a little more so. They have interior and exterior seating so if you're one to enjoy some hot weather and hot food,... lol. We sat indoors with baby. Our waitress, Nina was very sweet and attentive. We ordered spanakopita to start and it was delish, filo was extra crispy but it was very tasty. The kids menu was meh! I don't ever order the chicken fingers on kids menus so ordered the mousakka. Got myself lamb chops and hubby ordered the feta crusted salmon. Mousakka was delish and baby ate almost half the adult portion. Salmon was perfect and very tasty. Lamb chops were great, nicely seasoned and the asparagus! Yum! One chop was a little overdone but could face been it's position in the cooking process.. Cocktails... meh! I think sone great signature cocktails would hit a great note with customers. I'd highly suggest heading over and grabbing some food and just enjoying a good night with some other special people. Never forget you are special too! Live & Love!

I had ordered from here multiple times for lunch delivery a few years ago when I worked in Hollywood but this is the first time I've dined in :) Our pickleball group of ladies got together for a ladies night dinner here and it was really nice - I was thoroughly impressed with the decor and the ambiance, but my only pet peeve was drinks were served in plastic glasses. For such a nice place, I was surprised that they went with plastic which I really really dislike - Sorry I am a glassware snob lol Food wise - everything that I tried was delicious! Fried Feta Cheese - delicious - it's cheese and it's fried (mic drop) Four Dip Platter with Pita - I split this with someone and all the dips were very good - the pita was soft and warm Vegetarian Eggplant Meatball - you would never think this was a vegetarian meatball...so good and the texture was spot on! I was definitely interested in ordering dessert but our server seemed annoyed to have a large party of loud ladies so she didn't even offer dessert or coffee...Just brought out the bills like get the heck out of here already LOL Maybe next time I can enjoy a full meal including dessert - definitely want to check this spot out for a date night with my hubs!

When I tell you this place is AMAZING... you have to come here if you are in the area. We came during dinner and loved our visit. The food is absolutely delicious. I ordered the lamb and beef gyro and it was perfection. The fries and salad that came with it were SO. GOOD. everyone in my party enjoyed what they ordered. Prices are not too crazy either! The restaurant itself is beautiful- perfect for date night (or not! We had one child and three teens with us) Highly recommend.

We came to celebrate our friends birthday with friends and family. It had a big area that fit us all even the kiddos. The restaurant was very big and open and had sitting in the front patio. I loved how we had a view of the street and ambiance of a busy Sunday afternoon. The service was great we were served water and bread without having to ask. The servers were very pleasant and kind. They even helped us cut a cake for our friends. The kids enjoyed the delicious pitas and hummus along with their tenders and fries. Its was a great experience. I recommend to come on by and try this joint out !

I live in Dallas and this is a requirement to come to every time I'm in town! The servers are always so kind and the owner is a Cowboys fan and very friendly. We sat on the patio that has a nice setting and is covered. We got: - cucumber martini - pineapple mojito - very refreshing and tropical (not pictured) - mussels - first time getting them and can't believe I waited so long - VERY good! - octopus - staple every time we go - fried feta - 3 for the table - also always a staple - chicken bruschetta - LARGE portion but very good! - spicy feta crusted salmon - good but very charred - ribs - amazing, fall off the bone (not pictured) - lamb chops - very good, Well seasoned (not pictured)

Cute little restaurant in Hollywood! It almost gives off hole-in-the-wall vibes since it wasn't too packed for a Friday night, but that worked in our favor--service was great, and the food came out quickly. I had the chicken pita with fries (which also came with a salad), and the fries were so well-seasoned. My aunt had the baked chicken with lemon potatoes, and my sister got the salmon with orzo. Everything was delicious, and they even brought us champagne for my aunt's birthday--such a nice touch!

The food was delicious, we ordered the four dip platter which had 4 different dips and selections , they give you pita bread and cucumbers, we also ordered the filet mignon kebab which I loved , the steak was soft and made to perfection , comes with salad and rice , both were so delicious , I would advice to get the dessert because it was sooo so good ! The ambiance is nice , you can either sit inside or outside , either way it's a very nice restaurant, the only thing I would say is that the service was ok , our server was kind of passive aggressive but other than that it was a lovely restaurant

Went out for dinner on a Thursday around 8 pm and it wasn't that packed. We've seen it way busier before, assuming it was probably on a week day or during happy hour. Luckily we were sat immediately at a booth. For starters we got the green mussels & fried feta cheese. Honestly, our starters were way better than our entrees. Not to say that our meals weren't good but i HIGHLY suggest you try those two because they were one of the best foods I've tried in a while. I raved about them the next day to friends so I'll definitely be returning. I got the Double Chicken Souvlaki Stick Platter and my partner got the Grilled Lamp Chops. It was pretty good but i would've rather plain rice instead of with peas. The asparagus that came with the lamb chops could've used more flavor. For my drink i got the Aperol Spritz which was good but next time I'll get the margarita with the black salt rim that was on their cocktail menu. The vibe of the restaurant is very neutral colors, they played traditional Greek music which made you feel as though you were actually there. Our server was ok, took some time for him to get our orders even though it wasn't busy but overall i would return back and FOR SURE order those mussels along with the fried cheese. Obsessed is an understatement!

Amazing private party! Last night we celebrated with 50+ people my daughter becoming a Doctor & moving back to Florida. Chris & Jimmy made the party planning easy & worry free! The food & flow was exactly what I wanted! Maya & Valerie our servers were attentive & on point. Brandon the Bartender made sure to keep up with my overflow of guest at the bar. The entire staff needs to be Thanked! I highly recommend The Greet Joint for anyone looking for a beautiful venue, great food & service & private party area. THANK YOU!

Delicious food. Good service. No complaints but at this particular moment they were out of some seriously key Greek staples. But what they did have available was delicious. Just call to make sure they have a particular dish if that is what you want. I wanted moussaka for example but they were out.

We had a lovely family lunch at the Greek Joint Kitchen in Downtown Hollywood. We chose indoor seating and were accommodated in a nice booth area for six of us including our two grandchildren. The indoor decor felt like very grecian with flowing ceiling drapes, and blue neon lighting. There was covered outdoor seating as well as sidewalk seating under umbrellas. We were lucky to find street parking as there is a lot of construction taking place. Our server was pleasant and very helpful. We ordered a variety of dishes from the menu. The children had chicken slouvaki skewers and fries. Our salads were fresh and we learned an authentic Greek salad does not come with lettuce but the tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and large piece of feta were great. Ive been having a taste for lamb chops and what better place to order them. My dish came with four chops, lemon roasted potatoes and asparagus. I thought it was delicious! We finished our meals with baklava and coffee. All in all a terrific experience.

On vacation to Miami. Stopped by with the family at the Greek Joint! The food was amazing! The wife had the Greek salad and I had the Lemon Chicken plate! Talk about flavor! From the very first bite to the last! The chicken was moist and tender. The salad was fresh and had an excellent taste! If you are in the area of Hollywood, this is a must! You will love: the service was also Top Notch!

Loved the house salad. So good it needed no dressing. Lots of fresh feta red onion tomatoes cups and Greek olives. The bread and herby dip was finger licking good. Best was the spanakopita enough for 2x the Greek chicken and potatoes were even tasty the next day. Highly recommend

First time heading over to The Greek Joint and the food was fantastic!! Enjoyed everything we ate from the hummus, to the ribs and then on to dinner where I had the Moussaka and my wife had the lamb chops. Another friend of mine had the Lamb Pita sandwich. Drinks were good and service was as well. A little too noisy for my liking but definitely check it out!

This restaurant is super cute aesthetics and the food was great! Service was a bit stand offish and they wouldn't give my friend some tzatziki sauce without charging extra. Other than that we really enjoyed our meal and the location. The lunch special was great!!

They bring you fresh baked bread and delicious olive oil to snack on. We ordered the four dip platter as an appetizer. My boyfriend had a mythos Greek beer and I enjoyed two glasses of a very flavorful dry white wine with our meal that our server Herman recommended. We both had the lamb and beef pita wrap. They came with a Greek salad and fries which I didn't want so I opted for more salad instead. I also ordered briam because I had never tried it. I took home leftovers and made another meal for myself with my leftovers. Our server Herman was very attentive and friendly. He answered all of my questions. Everything was delicious.

Absolutely love this place! My family & I have been visiting from Miami for years. They recently renovated the interior & it's beautiful! The service & food have always been on point, but in our most recent visit the food was out of this world. The fried calamari was the best we've ever had! They were soft & pillowy, not chewy/rubbery at all like in other places. The lamb shank, moussaka, & chicken kebabs were absolutely perfect. I always get the Moussaka, it's honestly my favorite dish ever. Of course don't forget a side of lemon potatoes too. Definitely will continue going back!

What can be said that has not been said already except if you have not been here you have to make time and make your way down here. Wow what amazing time with excellent service and food. The service was top notch with recommending dishes and drinks along with being very attentive to myself and my guest. Ambiance is an amazing low lighting with amazing decor all around made me feel like I was in Greek without leaving the country. Drinks were all amazing and well made with a fully stocked bar there was nothing I requested that they did not have. And food omg so fresh and delicious there seafood was amazing along with all the traditional Greek food there gyros where fire along with the fresh salad. Like I said nothing was great and prices were great especially being in the location. Only advice I have to offer is parking is a little bit of a hassle but the do have valet parking. Will be back for sure.

Where do you go when you don't know where to go? What do you eat when you don't know what to eat? I don't get into Hollywood that often as I stated in prior reviews. I was out on a date with an old girlfriend of mine, catching up on old times. She had no clue what she wanted to eat, so I recommended Greek. She agreed, and we went over to the Greek joint. I've been going to this place since they first opened one block away from where they are now. The food never fails. We both had gyros with French fries, and not only was it delicious, but it was filling. I said hello to the owner. After a brief conversation, he remembered who I was. He asked me to try a new rib dish he was getting ready to introduce to his menu. The ribs were very good, not traditional like what you find at a barbecue place, but his version. Both myself and my date thoroughly enjoyed the ribs. I recommend you give them a try when you go there. One of the things I like about this place is that I always leave full. What's the cost of eating out these days? I don't like to go to a restaurant and leave hungry. Not this man's price is reasonable. You need a wheelbarrow to roll out of the restaurant because you're so stuffed. Great food, great prices, great value. What more could you ask for? I'm also excited because they opened up another restaurant on the corner of Sterling and University Drive. My daughter loves Greek food, and I told her we're gonna have a daddy-daughter date there soon.

This was my first visit to The Greek Joint. I turned to Yelp, of course, when the restaurant one street over was completely booked. I love Greek food, so It was worth a try! The staff was friendly and very attentive, from the first moment until the end. The food was very good, and the prices on par with other restaurants in the area, but maybe slightly higher than expected compared to other Greek restaurants. The dip Platter was a great starter, I loved the spicy fetta spread the best. The stuffed grape leaves were really good, but not what we were expecting. They were warm with a combination of rice and meat, topped with a creamy lemon sauce. My husband had the gyro, sorry he didn't let me get a pic before he tore into it. It was filled with meat, tomatoes, onion, and a healthy serving of tzatziki. His fries were thick and crispy; it also came with a small side salad. I chose 2 separate items rather than an entree. The Spanokopita was tasty with the flaky filo and plenty of spinach filling. My salad was huge, but not what I expected, as there was not your typical lettuce base, which is what I was looking for. It was good, but again, not as expected. I think more details on the menu would be helpful, especially for items that may be different from the norm. We skipped dessert as the items listed weren't typical Greek desserts, which was a bit disappointing, but we were full anyway. I would definitely return though, especially for a casual lunch.

The Greek Joint is definitely one of the better restaurants in the Hollywood Blvd/Young Circle area. It's usually where I end up when visiting. The food is pretty good and there are a lot of really authentic Greek dishes available, which is nice. This last time my mom and I shared a few things: zucchini fries, a daily special which was an eggplant "meatball" with a truffle ricotta, and the fig and arugula salad. Everything was excellent. The batter on the zucchini fries was really yummy and so was the avocado tzatziki it came with. The meatball was super tasty and the sauce was very garlicky which I liked. My only gripe is that the truffle ricotta didn't taste like truffle at all. Not sure what happened there. The salad was really nice too, but the dressing wasn't too memorable. They also give you bread and olive oil at the beginning of your meal. I'll have to taste some of their dips next time. Their outdoor seating is really pleasant when its not too hot out and they have ceiling fans. The inside is really nice too, though. You often just seat yourself when it's not too busy. They also have a bar inside. And the sangria looked realllly good. I think you can order a pitcher of it. Definitely hit the spot!

From bad, to worse, to disgusting... We always counted on this restaurant as a good (enough) standby but we have stricken it off our list. We recently dined there with friends and ordered the special which featured Chilean Sea Bass. It arrived and was not good...undercooked, slimy, and lacking flavor. Our friends' chicken arrived cold. We asked the waitress to take it back and substitute something else. When it was time to pay, we were brought the machine to pay but not the detailed bill (fishy). We paid it but asked for the bill only to find out they charged us an additional $40. It showed up below the total line with no description. The waitress struggled to get this removed and said the manager would come by...which never happened. A half hour later, our bill was finally fixed and she actually said 'I just want you guys to leave'. I thought she was about to say happy...but nope. What a terrible experience...both food and service. My wife called to report this and didn't even receive an apology. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE...so many better options nearby. #thegreekjoint is terrible.

Never again! We thought we'd go to the Greek Joint for corned beef and cabbage at noon on St Patrick's Day and then watch the parade at 1. WRONG! We were seated right away but then waited and waited and finally roped and tied a waiter to place our drink and food order. Then we waited and waited, meanwhile watching the bar staff prep the bar, which should have been done an hour before opening. I think someone forgot to "spring ahead". There were maybe 5 people behind the bar running around, dumping ice in the cooler and cutting up limes but we couldn't get our beers. For awhile we could see the beers all lonely on the bar but nobody was delivering. So we flagged down another waiter. He brought the beers but my husband's was wrong. So we get the right beers. Then we waited and waited. We're there so long the parade had started. The waiter comes out and says the cb&c wasn't ready like that's an excuse. What, nobody told you it was lunchtime on St Patrick's Day? So finally the cb&c comes. We asked for mustard that never came. The meat was so fatty it was about half the size after we surgically picked out the good meat. We were there 2 hours. By the time we paid the parade was half over. No more kid's dance groups, no more pipers, no more floats. Never ever again.

We ended up here due to not having a place to eat and it ended up being a happy accident. This place was really good and in a very cute area! My group shared a bunch of apps and most were delish. The arugula and fig salad was huge and really good, although I wish it had been fresh figs. The meatballs were all beef and yummy. The eggplant dip is usually my favorite, but this I did not like at all. I've never had it where they put bell peppers and the menu did not indicate it and if I had known I 100% would not have ordered it. The bell peppers were very overwhelming and it made the dish taste like bell pepper dip, not good. The shrimp saganaki was tasty but we were sad it wasn't lit on fire like normal saganaki. The feta pie thing was AMAZING. For dessert they had one of my favs, baklava cheesecake and you could tell it was homemade and SO good. Definitely a must try.

Lunch food is good servers and management XXX. Only issue is parking. Only a handful of metered parking and 1 handicap parking also metered!

Yikes :( just moved here from NYC and as a Astoria, Queens native I was so excited to visit the Greek Spot. I was raised on delicious Greek food and I was recently feeling a little homesick so my husband suggested we visit this restaurant to get all the comfort I needed. We were greeted by kind and attentive staff. The staff in this restaurant get five stars for sure! Exactly the customer service you want when you go to a restaurant. I came with my little guy (two years old) and they were super attentive to made sure he was doing great. Now for the food :( what a disappointment. I was sad to see that some Greek staples weren't in the menu (like taramosalata) maybe Floridians don't like fish roe? We got a basket of warm break with a bowl of olive oil balsamic and seasoning. We ordered the calamari (comes with tzatziki), the lamb and beef gyro (comes with Greek salad and "truffle fries- couldn't taste the truffle), spanakopita, Greek salad with lamb, and my little guy got a chicken souvlaki with rice from the kids corner. The calamari was terrible. The actual calamari was cooked well but the outer coat came off completely and had a soggy texture - was not crispy at all. We left a bowl filled with the outer coat of the calamari. Most of our food lacked the delicious flavorful Greek taste and seasoning that we're used to. I've never tasted a tzatziki like the only I had here. Thicker, less yogurt like with a ton of garlic and little salt. Again, just VERY off. Spanakopita lacked feta - again no flavor :( My son liked his rice and chicken kabob but even he knew the tzatziki was off when he had a taste. I had a Greek salad with lamb. The lamb gyro came in a separate bowl, the cucumbers were cut into huge sizes, and I had a hard time getting just vinegar. The balsamic vinaigrette I got was filled with oil and seasoning and lacked balsamic. My favorite part of the meal was the tomatoes of the Greek salad :( Very disappointed and won't be back :( I hope I can find a good Greek restaurant soon. $85 of disappointment
