Don't go to this restaurant if you don't want to eat plastic, I found a piece of plastic in my food and the manager refused to acknowledge my complaint. The chicken and lamb was burnt, more rice than meat. You stole $71 dollars from me with your poor quality and contaminated with plastic food...

December 15, 2024

This restaurant is poor quality and service. I ordered from here through skip the dishes and found plastic wrap in my salad. I called the restaurant and was told it's possible since they use cucumbers from Mexico but they couldn't do anything in regards to a refund for the meal. The food is mediocre at best and the service is even worse. If you eat here and have an issue with your food they will not take it seriously and expect you to be ok with that. Avoid this restaurant at all costs. Don't waste your time or money here.

This place is beautiful inside! A hidden gem, it wasn’t busy at all on a Friday evening which I was surprised. The food was delicious (Greek salad the best I’ve had) the Greek style ribs were tender (lacking salt, but once I added salt it was really yummy) over all I would recommend!

We enjoyed the attention and the food. The waiter was very polite and try to make us feel at home. Food was serve shortly after ordering with a good portion presentation and warm. Taste: I can just say, my son and wife love it! That should say enough. When finish we were offer desert but food took its toll with us. Finally, I highly recommended for your lunch or dinner meals.

Great service and a super friendly atmosphere. I had the Lamb shoulder and the taste took me back to my grandmother's house when I was young. Great meal and great restaurant. Highly recommend for Greek food.

My wife and I had an incredible experience at Socrates. The atmosphere was perfect—warm, inviting, and just the right mix of elegant and comfortable. The food was fantastic, with fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and beautifully plated dishes. Every bite was memorable, and both of our meals were absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations, adding a personal touch to the night. Socrates is a true gem where everything comes together—amazing food, great service, and a cozy ambiance. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

We had a family dinner at this restaurant. We ordered several different dishes. Overall, the food was delicious. The atmosphere is nice and not loud. Service is good. Unpleasant surprise at the end of the evening - they automatically add a 20% tip for a group of 6 or more. I have no problem with tipping, but in this case I feel like someone is just reaching into my wallet without asking. At the entrance to the restaurant we noticed a lot of people taking take out. We won't go there again.

It used to be the best! Awesome! But it s really gone downhill. My husband has ALWAYS, without fail had the roast lamb and it used to be perfect. And he always got a large piece. Now the lamb is tiny and there s zero fat on it (my husband loves the fat) and it s not spiced very nicely anymore. I ve always ordered either spanakopita or dolmades. The dolmades now taste like dog food and the spanakopita is half raw. I don t know why the food would be so sub par now. It was great for years. Quite disappointing now. Sad.

We get take-out regularly and its always consistently good. The chicken souvlaki is tender, the spanokapita is good, the half potato is amazing (used to be a two halves but for a long time now it is only half but with an almost ridiculous quantity of rice ( excellent but Id prefer more potato and less rice). They substitute Greek with caesar salad and will put dressing on the side if you ask. There isnt much parmesan on it but all in all, the food is very good so I dont mention that.

This restaurant offered a delightful atmosphere with a warm ambiance. The food was satisfying, served in generous portions. Our server was generally friendly, although their sense of humor lacked tact when they jokingly referred to my dad as a baby , needy and mommas boy simply for requesting a spoon. While it may have been intended as a playful jest, it came across as slightly inappropriate and disrespectful. Despite this minor hiccup, the overall experience was enjoyable.

The food wasn t horrible but it s definitely just an bad attempt at real Greek cuisine Start off with the fact that the Greek salad was hardly edible due to the HUGE cuts of the tomato s and cucumbers, then is topped with some in house dressing that goes horribly with it and isn t even a attempt at Greek salad dressing which I find amusing Secondly I m not sure why they put raw onions with the calamari?? Never seen that before Additionally the lamb rice and potatoes weren t bad, potatoes reminded me of home and the lamb was well cooked and so was the rice Lastly the service was not bad but I was the only person in the whole restaurant so can t definitively say service was amazing and quite disappointed when I said happy Easter weekend to her and got a weird look and no response (Easter is tomorrow) Wouldn t recommend to someone looking for authentic Greek food

We love Greek cuisine and decided to try Socrates in Maple Ridge for the first time. I have driven by this restaurant many times and wanted to try it....what a mistake. We ordered 2 Roast Lamb dishes. When the dishes arrived the lamb was seasoned very well but is was super dry, and overcooked by a LOT and in order to swallow it you had to drink water with it. The Greek potatoes were russet potatoes with the skin on....that was a first. Absolutely no lemon flavor at all. The rice was actually cooked perfectly with just the perfect bite but way under seasoned....that is why this review gets a 1 and not a zero. Now for the Greek Salad....not sure how to even say this....has anyone ever had a Greek Salad with a cream dressing? It was a mixture between a Ranch and Caesar dressing...and absolutely ZERO Feta....WOW! One thing you would assume a Greek restaurant would get right. Now the simplest thing...no Pita was served....really? My suggestion is if you want authentic Greek food, find another place.

We visited Socrates for the first time on Easter weekend and we were so pleasantly surprised at how great and awesome the food tasted - everything from the appetizer to the main courses and dessert was just so tasty and flavourful, and the portion sizes were generous. Our server was a young lady who was wonderful :) Socrates is definitely on our list now of go-to restaurants, not just in Maple Ridge but also in the tri-city region, including Langley. We will definitely be going back for more of the delicious Greek food!

I was exceptionally impressed with the portion sizes, as well with how pleasant and informative our waitress Talia was. I really have nothing negative to say, but I will say the bars closed on the windows were a bit out of place compared to the rest of the atmosphere. I suggest they be opened if possible during business hours. Also a little bit of background music would be a nice touch. I definitely will be back!

I love the decor and cleanliness of this spot but tonight the service was really slow. I had to call over the server to take my order. She was caught up taking orders on the phone. I gave up trying to have a 2nd glass of wine because no one checked on us while we ate. The owner and the wait staff are lovely, but dine ins want service. Otherwise, eating at home with our own wine is cheaper. We enjoyed our meals: spanokopita dinner, beef souvlaki and calamari starter...yum!

Would have given this 5 stars except for the horrible way we were treated. We were a table of 4 in a booth having a lovely quiet dinner when at 8:30 (restaurant is open till 9pm) the lights were turned off. Would have been nice if the owner/manager had kindly just asked us to leave as he wanted to close early instead of this rude way. We were super happy with the food and the waitress is great but we wont be back as this was beyond a rude and awful way to treat 2 elderly couples who were just enjoying a night out.

Weve been doing takeout since Covid, food has been good, but over past year things have really deteriorated. Over the last 6 orders 3 times we arrive home to find part of our order missing. Its a 20 minute drive to pick up so we will call in and are told by the owner they will attach a note to our number and adjust next order. Next time we order and pick up nothing is attached to our number and were out 9f luck, this happened twice (a common practice as shown by other reviews) . Third time was the last time we ordered from them. We order for 5-6 people so checking bags before we leave is almost impossible(4 bags) , we do ask to make sure order is complete and our reassured it is. Another thing all dinners should know is that owners keep the tips if you pay by credit card or debit card. We were told this by multiple servers. They explained that the only tips they get is if you pay with cash. From that point we started to pay for our takeout on credit card but adding no tip and tipping the server in cash which once got us look from owner. No wonder theres such a turnover of servers. For the record this is also illegal in BC.

December 22, 2023

I am sorry to write this complaint , but now its the second bad meal we have had in 6 weeks at Socrates, both orders were not good. The first the chicken Fettuccine was brown in the center, as if the noodles were sitting too long without a cover. The salad had brown cucumbers , and covered with fresh parmesan ,disgusting. the order tonight was almost the same, the noodles had soaked up almost all the sauce, very dry, but that was not all, the Fettuccine had so much garlic I couldnt eat it. We also ordered two salads and got three, and also paid for three, I should say I am Italian and I cook with garlic all the time but I will never eat there again. I should also mention both times my wife ordered baked Lasagna and it was good.

Have been here a few times now. Decent food, but they raised the price of their tiny souvlaki meals to almost 30 bucks. You literally get 5 tiny pieces of meat, a tiny salad, some rice and half a potato. If you want pita bread, they charge more. You cant charge 30+ bucks for a 17 dollar meal.

December 22, 2023

I was disappointed the souvlaki meals did not come with pita bread. The chicken was a rubbery, the potato was overall soggy and disappointing, and the Greek salad had a non-authentic creamy sauce I did not love. The rice was pretty standard. We usually get our greek food from the restaurant in East Maple ridge, but tried this one as it was closer. I wouldn t recommend it.

Short: way overpriced and lackluster food. Was hoping the reviews were just harsh, and I was craving Greek so we tried takeout. Wont be back. Way overpriced for the quality and quantity. Moussaka had a dry rind around it and was salty. Usually at Greek places I find theyre priced a little higher but I get at least 2 meals out of it - not this place. If you want Greek food go elsewhere. The inside seems like a nice place to sit down and eat and the staff were kind.

We were craving saganaki on our way home from Vancouver. We weren t sure we d get there before closing time. The cook said to call when we were 5 minutes away and he d start it so it would be ready for pick up a bit after just a bit after closing. He said he d still be there cleaning and it was no trouble. Crisis averted! The portions were large and it was cooked perfectly.

December 22, 2023

Ordered Chicken Soulvaki with large Tzatziki . The tzatziki was literally like milk. I never seen this before. My entire order was a mess. The take out paper bag was soaked. The chicken was super fatty and rice dry. *This is Not authentic Greek at all* Moe told me to get refund for the tzatziki on Uber Eats but I got a full refund for the entire order thanks to Uber Eats. I will Not be back. Food quality is very poor. And Wow Overpriced!!

Had the roast lamb dinner, it fell off the bone. Home made tsatsiki was wonderful. Also had the spanakopita dinner, very flaky and had great spices. One of the best values for dinner in Maple Ridge, prices are reasonable and food very fresh and good quality ingredients.

I usually order the Moussaka and Calamari Dinner. Generous portions, all the sides compliments each other. Love eating their rice with their home-made tzatziki. Their greek salad is also super refreshing as well 11/10! Kid-friendliness: Restaurant has highchairs and boosters. Can also accommodate large group of parties!!

We were seated well and served quickly. We ordered three vegetarian apps. The hummus was the most bland tasting chickpea pate we have ever had. It was so watered down that we couldn t even taste chickpeas. Was there even any spices in it? The spanakopita was chewy and hardly flaky. Last the dolmates tasted like meat! Other restaurants tend to stuff these with rice, dill & parsley. However, the lemon sauce was superb!

★★★★★

Our son took us out for supper tonight and we had a lovely time. The waiter/owner was great fun and we really enjoyed the food. Will definitely be back. I had the Moussaka. Dont know what they put in the potatoes but they were yummy. Could have done with more egg plant but otherwise great experience.

The greatest liberty and service a restaurant can give is the time and hospitality to the guests. Many modern restaurants are either over crowded, booked, or promotionally advertized to actract guests. What draws me to Socrates is the atmosphere. The interior is great, a nice blend of neutral colours and simple and complex design choices. What further helps the atmosphere is its availability, the quiet and calmness helps to engage in meaningful conversations. The food speaks for itself when you have it. the Selection is great, ranging from greak, pastas to steaks. Everything has been so far fantastic and is obvious the quality control of food has been taken into account. The notables for me was the potato and the greek salad dressing that comes with most entrees. The potato was tender but not drowned in moisture, and the salad was not saturated with the dressing; complimented each ingredient very well. After the meal or during it you have the options for beverages and desserts. I have had so far most of the dessert menu comprising of cake, and the only request I have is to have a selection catered to fruit lovers as well. However, if you are a fan of chocolate, it is worth it to try the place as a cafe as well. Recently I have moved to maple ridge and was in distress about the choice of dining out being limited compared to coquitlam or burnaby. I am glad to have found a new greek place that is near and can call my favorite. I have already refered the place to friends and have taken my family as well, I would definetly recommend Socrates Grill.

Somebody at this restaurant has pink hair. Did a pick up and called restaurant as soon as I saw it. Offered to bring back the meal that was untouched along with the hair. He said he would put us down for a replacement at a later date. We wanted a refund. After going back-and-forth for about two minutes he decided to hang up. So I decided to write a review on Google.

December 22, 2022

Ordered take out Mousakka. Absolutely that most disgusting take out food Ive ever ordered. The Mousakka is very obviously reheated frozen/ mass produced garbage. The rice is the equivalent to rice a roni. There is nothing Greek about any of this mess they serve. Beyond disappointing and i highly encourage people to read the reviews before considering this restaurant .

Nice looking furniture but very bad costumer service, waitress has no idea what serving costumers means, we actually had to ask for water after fifteen minutes of seating there and we felt absolutely ignored...food was half decent with dry meat...

My family have been loyal customers here for many years. Lately, portions are becoming smaller and smaller. At first, pita bread was no longer included and now, portions of meat and potatoes are becoming less and less while price increased by a lot! No wonder its not as busy as it used to be!

had a awful experience ordering door dash, waited over and hour and didn t get delivered so I went to pick up. Manager (or owner, I didn t ask) had kitchen reheat all my food, and when manager had issue s with door dash and payment, and wasn t impressed we waited over an hour for our food, ended up giving me my entire order (150.00$) for free because of entire issue which wasn t their issue, but door dash. Our food tasted wonderful even though we waited over an hour to get our food due to door dash, and we were super impressed with the way the manager handled issue. We ll be back for sure, except we will eat in restaurant so we can enjoy it hot and fresh next time. Thank you again for your patience and kindness in serving us tonight, and I appreciate you being unhappy that we were going to be eating old food. I appreciate you caring about the customer s opinion, food was great despite the wait between eating it, will be back for sure.

Im not very happy with the take out service today i ordered thru uber eats.... Asked for no onions on 2 salads due to allergies, got loads of onions on both called socrates and spoke to the cook.... He told me they dont have a driver to bring me a new order and to talk to uber eats even thou it WASNT their fault at all... well i dont have access to a car since i uber eats.... Told me unfortunately pick threw the onions and if i can get a way over to them they would re due the salads.... Well i cant and now ive paid $50 for an order with no credit or anything to throw the salads out since its an allergy! He also admitted to just briefly looking over the order when it comes in on their end but clearly not reading it properly....now its my problem and my money for supporting a buisness i love to be treated like that! My mom and i have been coming here for as long as i can remember! Extremely disappointed! Never again!
