Grecian Corner Reviews

After visiting the Space Needle, we decided to grab a bite....since 3/4 of our party were from Greece, we decided to to to the Grecian Corner. Just overall ok.....not great. Would not go again.

This was an unexpected great find. After a meeting across the street at the Seattle Center, I wandered in here for a quick lunch. Had a very good gyro made all the better with excellent conversation with the owner/staff. This was an enjoyable experience and a local joint worth supporting.

On our trip to the Pacific Science Center we took a break ate at Grecian Corner. The food was so fantastic for Greek. I am in love with their salad dressing! We had the Dolmathes, pita a Tzatziki, and falafel gyros with the salad. Everything was fantastic. On the downside: We were here for about an hour (not a quick stop) It's definitely a two man show with one waitress and one cook. Hence: slow service, and a hurried, semi- friendly waitress. The place is very small and lacks any sort of "character" that would excuse before said. However, if it was a nice day you might be able to eat on the patio and not deal with the crowded inside and enjoy a nice view of the Space Needle. Overall we would eat here again because the food was great. But expect the time frame and other stuff.

Shared a calamari appetizer with a friend and then we each had souvlaki - one pork, one chicken. The plates came with Greek salad, warm pita bread and tzatziki. The servings were generous and the food was tasty and inexpensive. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. The dining area is quite small and not fancy but the food is so good you won't care. And the view of the Space Needle is spectacular.

Good food but hours of operation are very limited. We were there for late lunch on a Saturday and they were getting ready to close soon after. Location is excellent, right across from the Space Needle. Seating is very limited.

My wife and I had a quick lunch after we arrived in Seattle at the Grecian Corner. We each had the Gyro & Grecian salad meal. The Gyros were flavorful and huge. I would have liked to have more of the Tzatziki sauce and put on the top of the meat instead of down in the crease of the bread. If the sauce would have been as I just mentioned I would've given a 5 rating.

This was a nice little place right across the street from the Space Needle in the Komo Plaza. After seeing the Space Needle and the Chihuly Gardens, we decided to stop here for a quick light dinner – not realizing that they were closing at 6 p.m. on that day. We are from the East Coast and not used to anything closing that early. We had arrived about five minutes before they closed. We told the owner that we can go somewhere else, but instead of letting us do that, he insisted that we stay and offered to serve us our selections. Only thing was that he would pack it to go, and we would have to sit outdoors. That was not a problem, since we would have done it anyway. The weather was great, and the outside seating had a wonderful view of the Space Needle from there. We did not want to delay them, or impose upon them, so we ordered one Gyro Salad in a Pita, a Pepsi and a Bottle of Water. The food came out very quickly, and as an apology, the owner also brought Baklava for us “on the house”. That was not necessary but sincerely appreciated. We offered to pay for it, but the owner declined saying that he had closed his registers. Greek food is our favorite. This Gyro was delicious, but the kindness of the owners will be long remembered.

In the shadow of the Space Needle, Grecian Corner can take care of your Greek food needs. The gyro is big and tasty - there are even a few fries in the gyro. I have it with the Greek salad which is very good. The folks here are very friendly. It is kind of like eating at home. I love gyros.

Small "mom & pop" shop with friendly front person - this is a order at counter, take your own cutleries, get your own drinks deal - they will bring the food to you. The bread, be it pita, or on the gyro was particularly good - fresh and has the right texture - couldn't stop eating. The gyros was tasty, and the sirloin on greek salad was a large portion for less than $10. Baklava tasted good. Overall, a good place for a quick bite.

We were looking for lunch and $9 for a hot dog at the space needle wasn't it. I checked my phone and found this place. We saw it across the street from the space needle so we walked over. Very reasonable for Seattle and good Greek food. Liked the lamb souvlaki. A good choice if you are at the Seattle Center area within walking distance.

The food here was good. We got an eggplant pita and pork pita, but our order was messed up - we ordered salads as sides and got one salad one order of fries. The people were so overwhelmed with orders and cleaning up from lunch they came off as unfriendly. We also waited a long time for our food. That's why we didn't send our wrong order back. There was no where to sit outside because tables were not cleaned off and inside seating was limited because of tables not being bussed. Maybe a different dining time would provide a different experience. Also, close to the Space Needle.

Next to the Space Needle, this is a very good quick bite to enjoy the area. The Museum of Pop Culture is across the street as well as Chihuly Exhibit and as mentioned Space Needle. A few different items, but you may wish to take the items to go and have a picnic in park across the street. Very close quarters and a little slow on cleaning up, but really good gyros.

I will NOT eat here for free the waitress had a bad attitude from the start she kept saying she will "get us" but still serving other customers by the time we sat down mind you we had to get our own menus she stopped to say she will "get us" again while asking around what they would like- by the time she got to our table we ordered and she took close to 10 minutes to tell me why I orderd isn't available!!!! Seriously??? We had children so I sat hungry so everyone can eat and she never came once to say if we needed anything especially after we waited for her to ask people around if they needed nothing else.... The food mediocre and service is the worst I have had....I will NEVER EVER eat here or any affiliates if this is how they treat people.....I with touch their food even if I'm dying of hunger

If you are staying close to the Space Needle (Grecian Corner is steps away), this place should not be missed. Whatever you order - the avgolemono ($4), spanikopita ($5.25), baklava ($3.25), pitas (from $7.75 to $8.50), pork chops with salad or fries ($10.95) or anything else on the menu - you cannot go wrong. The owners, Louie and Tina, bring the tastes of the home country to your table, using recipes handed down by their parents. Reasonable prices. Excellent food. Wonderful, friendly service.

I had a great burger and cross cut fries here. The food was fresh and tasty and the fries were awesome, chunky with a little potato skin on. The service was friendly but a little slow considering its a smallish place. That is just a small gripe, id eat here again. Its just over the road from the Space Needle so the location is good. If you need to use the restroom ask staff for the code. It is shared with other places within the same block. All in all a really good place with good, fresh food. Theres a small outdoor area too.

I love greek food, so that is usually my go-to to look for a bite when traveling. The gyro was good and the portions were descent. The service was a little slow, but I believe one of the cooks just happened to be on break. Food was not expensive considering the location. Its conveniently located across the street from the space needle and science center. If you are visiting the seattle center, this is a good place to go for lunch. They do take our, or you can grab a gyro to walk and eat if you are in a rush.

If you need to take a break from the museums this is a short walk. All of the food was very good and the staff was super friendly.

Nice place right by the Space Needle. Very friendly staff. When we asked for something extra after our food was delivered, they said "just pay us as you leave" (we'd already paid at the counter). When some people came by and were having trouble with their camera, the folks at the restaurant helped them out even though they weren't customers. Just friendly folks.

Found this little place by our hotel as it was one of the few nonpizza places in the immediate area! Had great soup and delicious Pitas!

We had an awesome lunch here. All of our orders were scrumptious and well prepared. The food looked and tasted authentic, with generous portions. I will definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Get there early if you want to get the lamb.

Great greek food in Seattle. I get a salad at lunch and then come be bad and have a gyro for dinner. delicious!

Staff is not customer friendly, having an attitude, we were asked to leave, even though we still were finishing our drinks, they told us to go because they needed table for new customers.... my visit here was very disappointing! My family and I won’t be coming back to Grece Corner!!!

Needed some lunch after the Ghihuly Glass Museum. Grecian Corner is nearby. Small mom and pop place, very friendly. Small cozy tables inside. We order a gyro with extra meat to split. The pita was fresh and fluffy, the meat hot and mildly spicy with lots of taste. Fries were a big soggy as though the oil should have been hotter. Overall a good meal really cheap.

We were absolutely thrilled to walk upon this Greek delight of a restaurant so close to the Space Needle. My daughter Ren is a vegetarian and I am an omnivore so even better. I absolutely loved my gyro and Ren loved her falafel gyro. The tangerine flavored Pellegrino awesome. Our waitress turned out to be the owner and she is wonderful. She laughed at me when I asked her about why the radio station kept saying Oh La? Apparently that means all in Greek and the radio station played all the world's best music.

We were in Seattle Center and stopped by the food court which was rather uninspired and VERY noisy. Just across Broad street at the Komo center is a small Greek place with outstanding gyros. They were almost all meat, and with the Greek salad on the side made for a very good and yet inexpensive lunch. Small and quiet with a a family atmosphere. I will be back!

For the first time since i was about 8 i am visiting seattle. I come from a small town with no greek food available, but since i plan on becoming a chef i need to broaden my horizons. We stopped by here, we being my VERY picky 11 year old niece, me-17, and my sister-in-law-29, and were AMAZED The inside is very small so we opted to sit outside since the weather was nice. The waitress was pleasant and attentive. We ordered 2 chicken pitas with tzikiki sauce, and chicken kabobs (sorry can't remember the name right now or how to spell it) for my niece with a side of pita. I can honestly say this is possibly the best thing that i have ever eaten. It was FANTASTIC, the tzikiki sauce wasn't slimy as it sometimes seems and the Marinade/rub was to die for. Even my niece at her entire plate. My Sister In Law ordered Baklava for dessert and said that it was ok, nothing amazing (i couldn't try do to allergies to nuts) All in all, this was very good, and for ones that aren't willing to try greek, they also served burgers and such. Pretty reasonably priced (approx 7-10 dollars depending on what you order) and had a Perfect view of the space needle as well, very conveniently located within walking distance. Will be back

Located right near the Space Needle (across the street diagonally). My mom and I stopped here because it was nearby. Small restaurant, family run. But the food was great! One of the best gyros I have had. Highly recommend.

This restaurant was a true find after a wet day visiting the Space Needle and Chihuly Gardens. We made the short walk to the restaurant which has a great view of the Needle. The food and service were very good. We ordered gyros and calamari and found the portions to be very generous. This is a casual place where you order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

After spending time at the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden, we found the Grecian Corner. It's a very small restaurant, but judging by the full house, we knew it would be good. All food coming out of the kitchen looked great. We had the lamb souvlaki pita and fries and we were not disappointed. Prices were very reasonable.

Wandered into the Grecian Corner for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised with the high quality, authentic Greek food offered at this restaurant. Hot the gyro and it was amazing.

We stopped here for a quick lunch after visiting the space needle and glass exhibition and really enjoyed our meals. Service was really friendly and the food was good. My wife had a traditional greek style wrap and I had a burger with greek style filling and both were really delicious.

After leaving the EMP Museum and the Seattle Center, it was lunchtime. I looked up the TripAdvisor reviews for the Grecian Corner and we decided to give it a try. Our food was prepared quickly and was very good. I had the steak and greek salad which came out as something other than I expected. I assumed that it would be a greek salad with sliced steak. But, it was a small strip steak awith a side greek salad. It was very good, but a large protion for lunch. No problem as mu husband nibbled on my salad after eating his lamb pita. He loved it. We were on the tail end of the lunch hour and you could tell they had been busy. If in the area again, I would not hesitate to stop in.

4 of ate there before crossing the street to the space needle. The pork chops and steak and lamb were all very good and fairly priced. The red wine was not very good - 1 choice Merlot.

In the shadows of the Space Needle, this family owned restaurant is a gem! Great food, reasonable prices and down home hospitality make this one of my favorite places. Excellent burgers, pita bread sandwiches, gyros and the best waffle fries this side of heaven.

A wonderful restaurant to go to if you are anywhere around the area of the Space Needle/ Seattle Center. Perfect stop for lunch, dinner or in between any happenings in that area. The gyros are outstanding and the Greek salad a favorite of ours. The view of the Space Needle is spectacular and on a beautiful sunny Seattle day, perfect place to dine outside in their patio area.

This greek restaurant is a true gem, offering an incredible view of the space needle. the food is delicious, with authentic greek flavors. the cozy ambiance adds to the overall charm. reasonable prices, friendly staff, yummy food, and a jaw-dropping view. a must-visit spot!!

This tiny place is just across the street from the entrance to the Needle and the Chihuly Glass Gallery. First rate gyros done in an authentic presentation. Great Red Hook beer too. A Family operation that treats you just like you were family too!

I've been going here for years. Their Greek food is AMAZING!! And the owners Louie and Tina are two of the nicest people. Always great to go there you are greated with a smile everytime. The kefetdes pita and platter is awesome and one of my favorites is the loukaniko pita which is made with sausage that Louie hand makes. If you are near this place GO!!!!!!!!

Great little café. Really good Gryo and greek salad. Right next to the Space Needle. Pita bread was super tasty. Also got the mozzarella sticks. Very good as well.

We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food for a small place near the Space Needle. No need to pay “tourist” prices and ripped off for less than average food. Portions are large and delicious. We couldn’t even finish what we ordered. Everything is good!

Food was pretty good, but the service was terribly slow. Very small place with only 7-8 tables, and the one girl behind the counter seemed confused and overwhelmed. You order your food from her at the counter, and then she serves it to your table when ready. She served others who had been seated after us, and we had the same simple gyro items from the menu... Don't go here if you want a "quick" bite!

I've been craving real gyros (carved off the spit, not thawed and reheated) for a long time, and when we crossed the street from the Space Needle and saw Grecian Corner, we decided to give it a try. I had a Greek salad with gyros on it, and my g/f enjoyed the eggplant pita. Both were good. Service and cleanliness were acceptable but not outstanding. I'd go back if in the area again.

The gyro was delicious. Great bread and tasty meat and sauces. And, a salad was included. Quite a bargain for the area (right near the Space Needle). If you're in the area, give it a try!

Great baklava, excellent gyros. Friendly staff. I really am glad I found this place and will be back if in the area!

I took a group of teens to dinner here and found something for everyone on the menu (including chicken strips for my non-adventurous eater!). We were disappointed to learn that the homemade hummus wasn't available, but the delicious tzatziki sauce was a good alternative. Pita sandwiches were generously proportioned served with a choice of a large salad or big serving of fries. My vegetarian diner enjoyed a fresh, perfectly prepared eggplant dish. My friend had wine, I chose an Italian soda, one of the kids got a Mexican Coca-Cola, and the others had fountain drinks. Affordable prices nearly directly underneath the Space Needle, which is a treat. Definitely appropriate for families, teens, couples, work-day lunches. Would recommend for a return visit!

There service was nice but rushed. Because the attendant was rushed she didn't explain anything about getting our own drinks and silverware or where to sit. The building space is very small and crowded. Our food arrived in good time. The gyros we ordered we just as we asked. The fries on the side were terrible. They were old tasting and store bought. (The pita bread is also store bought.) I suggest getting the side salad with your main dish.

We ate here when visiting the space needle. It is right across the street and reasonable prices for a tourist area. Husband loved the grecian burger and the spanakopita and hummus we great.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Ordered at the counter and sat back to relax. Food came quickly and was very tasty. I had the gyro with fries. A little retsina wine and some people watching. Would give it 5 stars if it was about 10% less expensive.

Excellent food

First time here and this place is awesome. Gyros are fantastic. Clean place, family oriented fair price.

Came across this cute and cozy spot right across from the space needle! The views are unbeatable and the food is so flavorful and authentic. I highly recommend that everyone tries this spot.

I was overcharged and the manager said she could not fix it because the owner was in India. So my meal that cost double what it should have, I asked also gross. The Spanakopita tasted as if were made days ago and was reheated for the tenth hour time. The vegetables on the Greek salad were soggy and gross.

Spent two days in Seattle at the end of February and love Greek food. Had lunch at the Grecian Corner after seeing the local sights. No hummus available (ran out) so had to settle for the falafel which was so salty it was uneatable. Only one brand of bottled beer offered. Service was in keeping with the food quality. Lunch was expensive given the quality and service. Would not recommend

Nice Greek style food in a convenient location. Good service, indoor/outdoor seating. I enjoyed my meal with Greek sausage, others with me were 50/50.

Having lived in Greece twice, I can tell you this is fabulous Greek lunch food. I particularly recommend the Horiatiki salad - a REAL Greek salad - no iceberg lettuce thank you. Food great, good service, and excellent view of Space Needle.

My sister and I ate lunch here one day. It's small and the food does take some time. They do give you a lot of food, my gyro came with a whole plate of fries. If you're in a rush, this might not be the best place. But if you aren't in a hurry, I'd recommend eating here. The food is good and it's not too expensive for a touristy area! I think it was about 18 dollars for our 2 meals. It's just across the street from the Space Needle and the monorail station.

Had lunch at the Grecian corner the food was Very good and the service was amazing. This is a family restaurant and the family makes you feel at home highly recommended .

Just been to Crete three weeks ago before we ran into this place so I was very excited. Unfortunately their chicken suflaki is seasoned with artificial stuff, they serve it with something which looks as waffle fries...? So no rice, no olives, no feta. Waste of money :(

Right near the Space Needle, this is a convenient spot for a quick lunch. The menu is somewhat limited--mostly Pita sandwiches and burgers, but there are enough items to choose from, including at least one vegetarian dish (Falafel Pita). You order and pay at the counter and they bring your food to your table (there are only a few inside and a few right out in front of the restaurant. My wife had the Falafel Pita and I had the Keftedes Pita. Portions were huge and the food was very tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were reasonable.

We like Greek food and were excited to try the Grecian Corner. We have not been back. The gyros were just not very good. If you want really good Greek food, go to Petra on Fourth Ave.

We were greeted by a very friendly helpful waitress who took great care with my wife's allergies. For appetizers we had Saganaki (without all the batter and flambé), calamares, and a hummus plate. The main course was Souvlakia for my wife and I and a burger for my son. We had more food than we could eat and it was all delicious.

Stopped in for a meal and needed rest after walking through the museum and the space needle. This place is across the street from the area with the space needle. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. The food was good, and we didnt have to wait long for it despite a healthy flow of people into the place. Pretty much everything is ~$10 unless you get a specialty, so good price as well.

We were looking for a spot for lunch after visiting the Space Needle. Since the whole family likes Greek, we decided on Grecian Corner. Great place. Feels family run and they are friendly. Also very good food. Got some Gyros and falafel. Both were excellent. Totally hit the spot and it was super convenient.

We visited the Chihuly Garden and walked across the street to the Komo Plaza since we wanted a nice lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire dining experience at the Grecian Corner where we ate fresh and delicious grilled chicken salads. Highly recommend!

Conveniently situated a few steps away from the Space Needle and Seattle Center, this little restaurant offers the most famous Greek specialties. The food is delicious and they do serve Frapé, a popular Greek summer drink made with instant coffee, ice and cream. The first time I went there I was just passing by and I entered, the next day I went there especially for the Horiatiki salad and Frapé.

It's the Wandering Yank here. My family spent a few days in Seattle recently, and of course we spent time in the Space Needle area. We found this across the street in the KOMO TV building, a small cafe where one orders at the register and has both indoor and outdoor tables. The 3 of us had lamb pita sandwiches and Greek salads. All were fresh and tasty, and prices were reasonable. This was an excellent choice for a quick and nutritious lunch. 2 thumbs up!

went with 2 kids, nice location, nice little place, good food. had to ask for some tzatziki sause, but otherwise - perfect. would completely recommend and would go again when I am in Seattle. We all loved it.

Ran across the street today from the Space Needle to escape the summer rain and was pleasantly surprised by the food and service. We enjoyed a gyros sandwich, falafel sandwich, basic Greek salad and waffle fries. All fresh, inexpensive given that you across the street from a deluged tourist park, and served with warmth by what appears to be a family run establishment. It's a smal place, but warm, fast, friendly, and tasty.

Had lunch at the Grecian corner the food was Very good and the service was amazing. This is a family restaurant and the family makes you feel at home highly recommended .

While visiting the Space Needle and Chiluly Garden, my family had a fabulous meal at the Grecian Corner. The food was fresh and plentiful and seasoned perfectly. The employees were cheerful and welcoming and the place was clean. Frankly I did not expect such good food in such a prime location. I see complaints from other reviewers that the service was slow, but we did not have a problem, and I think the time it took made it clear that they were cooking to order, and not just re-heating something. I would rather spend 10 minutes waiting for a great meal than 3 minutes waiting for so-so food. My teen-age son claimed it was the best meal he had during our trip (Seattle and Hawaii) and he is usually a picky eater, so there...

Just tried to go for dinner. My open. Sign outside reads ‘For Lease.’ Son confirmed that the sign was for that business location. Greek food would’ve hit the spot.

We really struggled to find good food in Seattle - until we found this place. We visited twice and both times had great, well priced meals. The staff were great. On a chilly day, soup was in order but they'd sold out. I was offered several alternatives and finally settled on the dips & pita. Something so simple, but the dips were excellent. Hubby's pita was fresh, clean, healthy and made on the spot. We were there at the end of a long day yet the staff did not rush us, despite having the Closed sign on the door. Best experience of our week in Seattle. Worth looking for - across the road from space needle. Aussies, particularly melbournians - this is your go to place if you've had enough of USA food!

The food was delicious. And the couple very nice. Best food I’ve tasted in a long time. And it’s just across the road from the space needle.

We visited after visiting museums in the area. We were trying to get away from the mega-tourist spots and relax a bit. A husband/wife team run the place. They were very nice and entertaining. Prices were good - $24 for two full lunches with drinks. The food was good. It wasn't served very hot. I was a little put off to see into the kitchen. Not because it was dirty - it looked very clean. I could see the cook pull the meat out of the freezer and take the pitas out of the store bought bags. I know that happens so many places these days but that doesn't mean I want to see it! The tzatziki sauce was great! I'd recommend Grecian Corner to someone who was in the area looking for a quiet spot to grab some lunch.

The Grecian Corner is in fact a corner restaurant within view of the Space Needle. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, but today I was escaping the rain and ate inside. I was impressed that freshly made Avgolemono Soup was available to warm me up. I was happy to find unsweetened iced tea. The calamari came as strips, not rings, a nice change up. The pork Souvlakia was well seasoned. The side salad had a delicious herb filled dressing. A special meal indeed

I recently returned from Greece, and Greecian Corner has amazing authentic food. The location is great and right next to the Space Needle if you're looking for a quick meal. We will be coming back for more falafel and gyros!
