Greek House

Hmmm…. It’s lunchtime and your stomach is growling, all you can think about is grabbing a quick bite to eat on your incredibly short lunch break. Hamburgers and chicken strips just won’t cut it today… You need something different, out of the ordinary and yes, conveniently close by. What should you eat?

If you are in the mood for something unique and don’t mind eating on Styrofoam plates and filling up your own drink maybe you should head over to the Greek House. It is located at:

2426 Forest Park Blvd.
Fort Worth, Texas 76110
817-921-1473

(Call to check the hours because they are a small family-run business and hold their own hours. If you go for dinner just realize they close at 9:00 pm on the dot. In fact, the door is often locked 10 minutes prior.)

Parking is a bit of a challenge during the lunch hour especially. When you walk in probably one of the first things you will notice is the décor and the various awards and newspaper articles hung on the dark forest green walls. The restaurant isn’t fancy and probably hasn’t been redecorated since the late 80’s but the food is delicious.

When you walk in make your way to the left where a large menu, complete with a few photographs, is posted on the wall. The food is moderately priced and you will definitely pay more than you would for a fast food lunch but the food is so much better. As usual, you get what you pay for, so if you are on a budget and trying to pick up a lunch for under $10 you might want to order a water and put most of your money towards the entrée.

The Greek salads are delicious, complete with feta cheese and a tasty and a bit tangy house dressing. The food is fresh and made to order so you can always expect extremely fresh ingredients. The restaurant is family owned by an older couple so the wait staff is limited. After placing your order at the counter, find a table or booth to sit at while you wait for your food to be prepared. A massive chunk of gyro meet hangs on a twisting rotisserie, cooked to perfection, just waiting to be sliced for gyros or skewered for kabobs. The homemade pitas are tasty and compliment the meat nicely. Curly fries are a nice side order and come piping hot and ready to dip in ketchup.

It’s a little bit annoying to eat from a Styrofoam plate but with the small staff I can understand why it’s simply the easiest choice and helps to free up the staff to work in the kitchen.


Be sure to save room for baklava! It’s a delicious treat and made fresh daily.

So next time you want a little something different head over to the Greek House and try out a local favorite, hole in the wall restaurant. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
