My Big Fat Greek Restaurant Review - Delicious and Family Friendly

My Big Fat Greek Restaurant is a small restaurant chain located in the Phoenix, Arizona area. This review is of the location at 10040 W. McDowell Road in Avondale, Arizona. As the name implies, you will find a wonderful variety of Greek food in a fun but classy environment. The seating is scattered between booths and tables, including large round tables which accommodate a larger family. Staff was friendly and attentive. Our waitress was sure to check with us often but not enough to be annoying. She seemed to pick the perfect time to refill our cups and knew when it was time to bring us "to go" boxes for our left-overs. The manager even stopped at the table to be sure we were happy with our experience.

If you have never tried Greek food, this is a wonderful place to start! They have a great variety of Greek classics. If Greek food isn't for you then try one of their traditional classics, like fish and chips, burgers or a chicken sandwich. Every item we tried was delicious. The spanakopita (a spinach pie with feta cheese) was light and full of flavor. The mousaka (layered potato, ground beef, eggplant and zucchini in a creamy sauce) was a definite favorite. Don't forget to try some baklava (pastry with honey, pistachios and walnuts). Though with the generously-sized portions, you might have to take your dessert home along with the leftovers from dinner!

Considering the size of the entrees and the variety of fresh ingredients used, we were pleased to see the moderate pricing. Most entrees range from $8 - $15 so you can find a variety of meals to fit into your budget. Are you taking children with you? If so, you will love the Avondale My Big Fat Greek Restaurant kids eat free special. This special allows one free kid's meal for each adult entrée purchase. The special runs daily, though it is subject to end at any time.

Overall, My Big Fat Greek Restaurant offers a fun family dining experience with delicious food, friendly staff and the chance to sample another culture!
