Christos Mediterranean Grille

Stopped here during a visit to Pittsburgh thinking it would be a great little place for authentic Greek food. However it was not. The person who was waiting tables was, I believe, the owner. He tried to upsell everything, and told every customer the same stories. That was all fine and honestly pretty entertaining. Where I was most disappointed was the food. The hummus was acceptable but very thin and watered down. It was served with cheap, store bought pita. The lemon potatoes were old and rubbery. I got a chicken kebab, which was one kebab. It tasted like the meat went bad and was cooked anyway. I took one bite and was afraid to eat any more. The rest of the food was really just mediocre, rubbery, and tasted like it was microwaved. I have had a fair amount of Greek food to compare. I was also overcharged by a large amount when I went to pay the bill (which I guess was the wine which I assumed was complimentary since it’s not on the menu) I wish I had asked for a breakdown of the charges before I paid, I calculated I owed maybe $40-45. I was charged $56. I thought I miscalculated but honestly just think I was ripped off. The person manning the register was also the cook and would come out to ring up customers when the waiter called for him. Not sure how he could be doing anything but reheating food in a microwave to be able to step out of the kitchen on a whim like that. In addition, I saw that food and plates that were cleared from people’s tables were not thrown away but placed haphazardly on the counter near new food coming out. I was concerned about how hygienic it was. I would be forgiving with that if it wasn’t for the extremely poor quality of the food. Usually don’t write bad reviews but this was really bad. I noticed the only customers were tourists, which is also a telling sign that this is a place to stay away from. Hopefully this review can prevent someone from making the same mistake I did by eating here!

Good was delicious I think the Jackie O cake was the best dessert I’ve ever had!

Such a delicious meal! Wonderful to have such a fresh and healthy meal after a long day of travel.

Loved our experience here! Christo was an absolute gem to talk to, the food was good, the atmosphere fantastic (old world style). Extremely reasonably priced!! Our bill came to $65 and we had two appetizers, two entrees, extra sides, soup and a dessert.

The owners are super sweet, incredible service and incredible food. Definitely the most authentic greek i’ve had!
