GEM in Beaufort! This is the REAL DEAL for authentic Greek cuisine. The most gracious, warm-hearted mother and son team. When you walk through the door of this unpretentious “shack” you feel like family. This is a small, quaint, unassuming spot for solid Greek food. It’s small and quiet inside, great for a business lunch or catching up with an old friend. Everything is cooked to order so be patient. The portions are generous and their prices are so reasonable. It is totally worth the 75 minute drive from Charleston!! I wish I could eat here every day...I can’t wait to go back.
All of the food was delicious but I wish there were more drink options. That didn't ruin the great experience though!
If I could give 6/5 stars, I would! This restaurant is to-die-for fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is also incredibly fun and relaxed. "Mama" is in the kitchen making the best from-scratch Greek food. I love the gyro, the gyro platter, and the eggplant parmesan. Since it's a small family-run restaurant, it is not open all the time, and that's the only negative. But when it is open, it's always a treat!
Great personal service. Excellent cuisine tailored to any dietary style.
What a great spot this is! The son runs the front of the house and mom makes the delicious food in the back. Directly across the street from Beaufort Memorial Hospital er and only open for lunch M-Sat. The gyro pita was huge and under $8! Other customers were ordering a lot of soups and Greek salads as well as the daily specials, can't wait to go back.
A small quaint little place. Was greeted warmly by the son who told me sit anywhere and that his mom will cook me a wonderful lunch. Ordered the gyro platter with the Greek salad and brown rice. Food came quickly and was very good. The “brown rice” wasn’t the typical brown rice with the bran. It seemed like white or parboiled rice cooked in possibly beef broth. It was very tasty but not what I would consider brown rice. After my meal the son surprised me with a complimentary baklava. It was probably the best baklava I’ve had in a long while. Definitely would come back next time I’m in the area.
First time eating there today & it was amazing! The waiter is awesome, friendly, and makes you feel right at home. They were busy, but the wait time on food was not bad and we had awesome service. Gyros were hands down best I have ever had. The tzatziki sauce was so good I could have eaten by itself! Also, the fried fish was amazing!!!
This is delicious and yes you need to go there. Do not be in a hurry, they are a son and mother working very hard. It's always busy and from tables and to go orders. Also be prepared to find parking elsewhere or they to be closed for the day. The food is good and sells out fast. I recommend trying to get in early in the day.
Stopped by for lunch because of good reviews, glad we did. Had 2 great appetizers, 2 delicious meals, and an incredible bread pudding for dessert! Mom cooks everything in the kitchen, son does everything else. Fast, friendly service, great food!
The owners of this restaurant are some of the nicest people in this city. The food is given that home-cooked authentic feel. Roughly 13 years ago I used to come here almost every day and order the same thing as a 16 year old student. They were always so kind to me and I just went back for the first time in almost 10 years and they treated me like I had never left. If you are visiting Beaufort or you just have never eaten here I implore you to go.
