Review: Gogos Greek Grill

Fresh and healthy is not just a slogan here thanks to the vision of three amigos who serve up gyros and falafel in a flash. You can get it to go or enjoy it at two locations (USF and Westshore), even have your next party catered.

This Olympus haven turns fast food into succulent, healthy meals. Enjoy a salad (low carb or regular) or sandwich (pita or wrap), then choosed your stuffing (savory chicken, steak, pork, gyro, Greek or Mediterranean veggies) and top with lettuce, tomato, cukes, onion, black olives or sliced pepperoncini and splash it with Greek vinaigrette, spicy tzatziki or other dresses. Best sides are the potato salad, Greek lemon potatos, hummus and feta.

Doctors and nutritionists recognize the benefits of Greek and Mediterranean diets, and Gogos Greek Grill is dedicated to helping people eat well on a tight budget. Food is prepared fresh, with natural meats, straight from the farm to you without additives, hormones, or preservatives. Salads feature top quality virgin olive oil, and pitas and wrap choices include whole wheat or herb-infused breads. Toppings and sauces are made with fresh vegetables, herbs, olive oil. Healthy, refreshing yogurt is the catch of the day, used in the savory tzatziki sauce fragrant with garlic as well as the frozen dessert, naturally topped with nuts, berries and honey.

Gogos Greek Grill is the vision of three Queens New York childhood friends - Mike, Greg and Dionysios with a deep love and appreciation of Greek, Italian, Middle Eastern, and Armenian food. They learned to cook both at home and on their Uncle Gogos grill, inspiring them to dream of opening their own Greek restaurant someday. After years of individual success at food ventures such as Riss Coffee Shop and Dion's Deli in New York; Zudar's Deli and The Rack in Tampa and the new Grille 54 in Trinity, they decided to launch GoGo’s when fate plopped them all in Tampa.

All we can say after one bite of the gyros? Opa!
