What People Are Saying About South Street Souvlaki

In Short – For a traditional taverna experience, enter through the takeout side, past window-front spits with impaled mounds of roast lamb and beef, and ogle the steaming stainless steel trays of stuffed vegetales, potatoes and moussaka before you are seated. Souvlaki's been here for two decades and it popularity--despite fairly inhospitable service--has only grown with time. The titular souvlaki sliced into sandwiches or on a platter is a favorite choice.

To cheap for it's own good.

by restaurantguy

I felt that the food was sitting on a steam table for days and absolutely not fresh. The spinich pie was so dried out I could'nt cut it. The fish that they served , which they said was fresh, was clearly frozen.

In the end, I was sick for 2 days after eating there. I do not believe the cheap prices are worth it .

  • Pros: Cheaper than the rest
  • Cons: food stale and not good.

My big, fat, Greek favorite!

by Seashell1806

This is a place for those who enjoy good food. If you didn't like the food, servers or atmosphere then go somewhere that's trendy and dark! This is all about good food, enjoying a cocktail and people watching if you like sitting at the bar, it's a great spot. Tom, the owner and his staff are friendly folks who enjoy what they do and they do it well. And when the soft shells crabs are in season it's a treat to go to SSS!

  • Pros: Good food, friendly atmosphere.
  • Cons: South St. parking!
