Greco Boys Grill

If you had a sneaking suspicion that most Americans have bastardized the Greek gyro – you’d be right. But Greco Boys Grill is all about being authentic. Score a chicken or pork gyro slathered in tzatziki sauce ($6.95), a souvlaki platter ($9.95) or spanakopita ($6.75). No lamb or beef in their lineup, but who needs […]
