Problem: I LOVE Greek food. Love. I could eat greek/mediterranean food every day and be perfectly happy. I do NOT love MBFGR. I went to MBFGR for lunch with some of my co-workers. 3 of the 5 of us are vegetarians, and MBFGR has several veggie options. I chose to have the "regular" sized greek salad. It was the size of a dinner salad with iceberg lettuce, tomatos, feta, cucumbers, and greek dressing on the side. It normally comes with onions and red peppers as well, but I didn't want them today. It was a basic, run o' the mill greek salad, nothing special. The dressing was good, but not spectacular. It was definitely not made in-house (it had that egginess that store bought dressings sometimes have). $12 for a side/dinner salad and a drink is too spendy. It was good, but come on! I would have rather spent my money on the dry grilled cheese from Tom's Tavern! My lunch-mates had falafel, the veggie wrap, and a chicken wrap. All thought the food was good. Maybe I will order something else next time (but I hope there is no next time.) Don't go here. Go to Athenian Express instead. If you are a vegetarian, get a Veggie Pita with a side of fries or a salad, and be happy.

Problem: I LOVE to cook! I was raised by a Black Southern grandma, so I can cook soul food. But, sometimes, it is nice to get a break and let someone else do the work. I'd recently read a nice review done by Heidi Knapp-Rinella for the RJ and was excited. I took my family here tonight and it was just an okay experience. The hotwater cornbread was the best i've had in a long time. The hushpuppies, greens, waffles, and fries were great, too. The chicken was nice and crispy, but like in so many places, the meat wasn't seasoned. (I usually marinate my chicken overnight in a buttermilk brine prior to frying). Our server, Patrice, was awesome, very friendly and attentive. What ruined the experience for me? I was checking out and when I'd informed the person that I didn't want to use my PIN but wanted to process the order as a credit, I was informed that I would have to pay a 3.5% surcharge. EXCUSE ME?!! pay for using my own card? And she had the audacity to reply, "well, it's not that much, only a few dollars." SERIOUSLY? then why are you trying to pass on this cost to your customers? For this reason alone, I will NEVER come back here. What a crappy attitude!

Problem: Great beer and wine selection for drinks. For food, excellent cheese and meat platters. A relax atmosphere where our party was about to enjoy a board game and good company.

Problem: Totally underwhelmed by our first visit here. Slightly embarrassed as we took friends visiting from out of state here. Food was fair. I was afraid it would be cold for as long as it took to get it. They were not that busy for the wait we had with server to get us the bill. We were actually ready to get up an go find him. I guess we were anticipating more since they have been open for awhile to get kinks out. Looks like construction is still going on. I will be hesitant to return.
