Zorba Greek Restaurant

Horrible atmosphere, ok food

Just moved here and thought we'd check this place out since we love gyros. Waitress took forever to take our order, high chair for our daughter was filthy. The atmosphere is awful as well. Will keep searching for a decent Greek restaurant. This is not worth it, as it is also not cheap at all.

• Pros: Good portion, ok food
• Cons: Not so clean, poor service

The WORST SERVICE, The FILTHIEST FLOOR

Where is the health inspector and management?

Just stopped in on Sunday, 7/19. My wife had picked up hummus and pita before for a snack for us and we enjoyed it, so today, as I was out alone shopping I thought I'd stop in for a quick bite.

I walked in to see that it was table service, but there was a cafeteria style line at the back with a cash register. So I proceeded to walk back to the cash register to order a gyro to go. A young woman stopped me about halfway back and asked if I wanted to eat in or get it to go. I told her I would like to just order something to go so she tells me to sit down.

I thought that was odd, why can't I just go to the back and order something at the cash register? So I comply, and she brings me a menu. After I see that there is a gyro on the menu, and that's all i would like, I look over and she is just hanging out at the cash register. A few other employees are just lounging around in the kitchen. Wanting to follow "Official Zorba Protocol", I just sit and wait for her to take my order. She never comes over so I walk up to the cash register and I ask her if I can place my order at the cash register and pay there. She looks at me like I just interrupted her wedding and says "WHAT do you want?" I've never been treated like that in a restaurant before, so I just silently turned around and walked out.

FYI, I'm not a hard to please person, I've never EVER walked out of a restaurant before. I just moved to Round Rock and will probably live here a long time, Zorba's could have had my business for years as well as my out of town guests. I will NEVER set foot in Zorba's again.

BTW, the place was absolutely FILTHY.

If I want Greek on a weekend, I will make the 20 mile trek to downtown to eat at Athenian Grill, they had wonderful service and the owner is usually working the line and is always helpful.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Service, Dirt and grime

Hands down the best Greek Food in Austin!

I have been to Zorba so many times, both for lunch and dinner and the food is always great!...delicious, hot simply too good.....HOWEVER there is only one thing abt this place...for dinner the entree prices here at almost 15$....n the ambience is seriously not for a 15$ dish...If they are charging 15$ entree I would have expected decor etc....so for a dinner for 2...be prepared to shell 35$.

• Pros: Great Food
• Cons: Poor Ambience, too pricey for dinner considering the way the place looks
