The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, an award-winning and rapidly expanding Mediterranean fast-casual concept, today opened its first Charleston-area location at Riverland Market on James Island. You can find the restaurant at 1417 Folly Road, Suite 410.
To commemorate the opening, the restaurant will host an “Opa-Palooza” Grand Opening Celebration from February 14th to 20th. Festivities will include:
- February 14th: Receive a free dessert with the purchase of an entrée.
- February 17th: Charity fundraising event benefiting Charleston Animal Society, where 50 percent of net sales for the day will be donated to the nonprofit to aid in the prevention of animal cruelty.
- February 18th: The first 100 guests to dine at the restaurant will receive a free Gyro and a limited-edition Gyro Hero Comeback T-shirt, which grants the guest a free medium fountain drink every time they wear their exclusive Comeback T-shirt to the restaurant.
- February 19th – 20th: Guests who visit the restaurant can enter to win free Gyros for a year.
The menu features items like the traditional Gyro, as well as Lamb, Steak, and Chicken Souvlaki platters. In addition, guests can enjoy four signature house-made dips featuring Hummus, Tzatziki, Melitzanosalata (eggplant dip), and Tirokafteri (spicy roasted red pepper) as well as made-to-order Feta Fries. Guests can also indulge in desserts like Baklava Ice Cream and Rice Pudding. The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill offers a variety of customizable options, including a Classic Greek Salad with choice of Gyro Meat, Chicken Souvlaki, Salmon, or several other protein choices.
Scott Willis, franchise owner for the Charleston location, plans to open four new locations with his family in the Charleston-area.
“We are excited to offer a contemporary take on authentic, Mediterranean favorites,” said Willis. “Everything is prepared fresh daily in our kitchen using family recipes, and we're proud to bring healthy and satisfying alternatives to the community we call home.”
The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill serves lunch and dinner from 11 am to 8 pm daily. The restaurant offers pick-up, delivery, and dine-in options, including indoor seating for 32 guests and patio seating for 16 guests.
