Greek Chicken

Greek Chicken in El Cajon has been around forever, and I’ve always heard great things about it, so I was definitely looking forward to trying it. Overall, it was just… okay. I ordered the chicken combo plate with gyro, chicken, and onion rings. The flavors were decent and everything tasted fine, but nothing really stood out. The biggest letdown was the portion size on the chicken. It felt pretty small. The onion rings were fine, and the gyro was good, just not memorable. Not bad by any means, but not quite the amazing experience I was expecting based on the hype. I’d maybe give it another shot, but this visit was pretty average.

This used to be my go to spot for a great chicken salad. I’m sad to say times have changed. My salad contained several pieces of onion with the onion peel still on them. My few pieces of chicken were greasy and very dry. You can see from my photos that my lettuce has grease on it. I called and spoke with the manager 9/19 and she said she would let the kitchen manager know. She didn’t offer to remake my salad and she didn’t offer to refund me. Considering that I drove 27 minutes one way, for this salad, I am extremely disappointed. I’ve been eating here since the early 2000’s.

The location on Graves Ave had been closed for remodeling. I am happy to see that it really was remodeled/redecorated. From floor to ceiling. The food is still amazing and the Feta Fries were so good. Drizzled with Tsatsiki then Feta crumbles. Same great food. New Fresh Decor.

If you want to enjoy a good Gyro Plate, this is the place. Excellent flavor and generous portions...the salad is spectacular 👌, good service, and very clean...

I’ve been coming to Greek Chicken for years, I don’t know if it was the update or what, but the food was so bland, from their signature chicken to the onion rings— they burnt my onion rings, and the amount of chicken on the chicken pita has drastically reduced. I will not be returning to this location. Wasted my money here! The Main Street location is so much better!
