I met Wayne for lunch at Mykonos Greek Grill recently. This is located at 850 Market St. in Miller Plaza. They have been around for quite a number of years, but this was the first time we have eaten there.
This is strictly an order at the counter – then you take your food to one of the tables in the plaza area. The door to the grill was propped open and it was so very hot in there, I don’t see how they work in that temperature. I would guess it’s probably because it is so small, then all the grills and heating units are going, plus the temperature outside is high.
I ordered one of the chicken specials of the day (chicken with vegetables), which was served with a Greek salad. Wayne ordered a gyro with tzatsiki sauce. The gyro was more than Wayne could hold – it is very large and stuffed full, served with chips. He definitely enjoyed the gyro. Said the meat was tender and not the least bit dry.
I also would order the chicken with vegetables again. For $5.95 I got a tremendous amount of food. For me, it was enough for two more meals.
We both thought the food was fresh and delicious. However, if you are looking for a sit-down restaurant, you might not like it. The plaza area is nice, and I noted it has heaters for the winter – so it is a good place to simply get away from your office and grab a quick Greek lunch.
Several gyros are offered including a few barbeque ones ($5.50). Mykonos also has burgers and hot dogs if you prefer. Platters are $7.25 and include Chicken Divine, Humus, and Falafel, along with several salads priced at $5.50. If you’re REALLY hungry, there is the Mykonos Platter for $11. This features almost everything – gyro, chicken, falafel, humus, dulma and Greek salad.
Check out another local restaurant. Hours for Mykonos Greek Grill are Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. I understand that in a few weeks, they hope to start opening on Saturday – but don’t hold me to that.
