107 W Portage Ave, Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783, United States
Casual, diner-style restaurant serving Greek-American meals, including pizza, gyros & souvlaki.
We live in the Soo and have been to this restaurant several times and usually the food is good but today the food was cold, greasy, wilted lettuce cold gyro meat and pita bread was burnt. Obviously whoever was in the kitchen absolutely did not want to be there today. Spent $70 and should have ordered pizza. Very friendly waitress and lovely atmosphere but I hope you get lucky and choose a night when there's a cook on duty that has pride in their craft. Very disappointing.
Small Greek restaurant connected to the Alpha bar next door, and serving classic Greek dishes and pizza. My Gyro with fries was very tasty. The pita bread was folded around a good portion of shaved & grilled gyro meat, tomato, onion, and crunchy romaine lettuce. I had a side of fries that were crispy and hot - perfectly cooked. Friendly service. Good place to eat Greek food with friends.
A really good Greek restaurant! Everything everyone had was really good. The gyros and moussaka were great. Pizza for the kids was exclaimed by them as being awesome. They fresh make the pitas in-house, and they are quite a treat. The fries were amazingly as well. Highly recommended.
I moved to the Soo from Chicago 6 years ago, so I have high standards for the food here, and Zorba's meets it EVERY time. Something I pay attention to when eating out is the cuts of vegetables and fruits in different dishes. in the pic you can see how finely chopped the cucumber and onion are. These guys have awesome knife skills! The lettuce was some of the freshest I've had recently. The fries are always SO crispy, but I often get the salad with the dishes because it tastes just as good. You can grab some grub like the gyro sandwich, or treat yourself to a healthy yummy Greek salad - everything is equally good! I also love coming here on dates or taking my family out because of the cozy atmosphere :)
We were really impressed with how good the food was here since we have had quite a lot of Mediterranean food in various restaurants and were worried about being let down. I loved the texture of my Mousaka and it tasted scrumptious too, I don’t think I’d had something like that before and I highly recommend it. Unrelated but they have the comfiest booth ever, the seat was perfect, cushion wasn’t too hard or too soft, just the right amount!
Absolutely delicious food! We shared a Greek Salad, personal Zorbas pizza, order of spanakopita, with drinks $34. The pizza crust was really good- soft and chewy- salad was so fresh with lots of feta and served with garlic bread. Clean, great service and amazingly good food. Our best restaurant experience in Sault Ste. Marie. We will definitely be back.
First time here... We started out with an order of pita chips. These were cooked to perfection and were served with a side of amazing cucumber dip of some sort. They were absolutely delicious! For our meal we ordered the Greek salad and the house specialty pizza. The salad I would definitely order again. But personally I would not order the pizza again just for the fact it's a thicker crusted pizza which I don't prefer (it's my personal preference that's all). Otherwise the pizza had good flavor. It appeared our waiter was the only one waiting tables, answering the phone as well as running out the food orders.
Probably the best food in Sault Sainte-Marie, especially if you're sick of burgers fried fish and fries. Fresh vegetables and delicious tzatsiki on the gyro, Tyropita (Phyllo dough wrapped around feta) to die for, and really flavorful and filling Moussaka. Cute ambiance and menu, lovely waitress and nice beer as well!
Overpriced and generic bland food
Great food! Great customer service!
Great Greek food. Outstanding pizza.
Best food in the Soo.
Yumz
Best gyro Ive ever had, only problem is that its almost too big! Highly recommend.
Really good food and service
Stopped in for lunch after taking a day trip. Food was fresh and hot. Host was very polite. Great food. Very clean.
My friend said the gyro was better than the one she had in Greece. Good food. Friendly server. Prompt service. Food
The staff was very friendly, we had a very good time. The food was great! When we are back in the area, we will definitely be back again.
I have been driving through the UP for work with my coworkers and we try to eat local when we can. We ve eaten at some pretty subpar places on our trip but Zorbas is AMAZING! The BEST Greek food I have ever had. The filo pastry is crispy, the tzatziki is chunky and flavorful, and the restaurant is very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend!
Great food great service great everything, recommended the gyros and the pizzas!!
I loved the feta fries and burgers.
Really good food and service. Large quantities for a reasonable price as well. Recommended by a local guy.
Best pizza Ive had in a very long time. Chicken Gyro also excellent. And on top of that we have half the pizza left for tomorrow.
The service is next level. The food was outstanding. Prices are reasonable. Its a must stop.
This was my first visit to Zorbas and it wont be my last! Delicious!!!
Delicious chicken gyro and cocktail.
I think American Greek is accurate. It leans more on the American side with flavor. I was a bit disappointed with the salad. Lettuce was used in place of bell peppers. The dressing was a strong balsamic vinegarette. The tzatziki sauce on the Gyro was missing that fresh zing youd typically get with fresh homemade sauce. Overall the meal was good and I would eat there again.
One of the better restaurants in the area. Serious Greek salad and a gyro that you can really sink your teeth into. Try this place at least once during your stay in SSM.
Unless you re a local don t waste your time going to the Alpha Bar / Zorbas! Food was good but the service was the worst! Bobby K could not be bothered to do her job, she was too busy socializing with the other locals!
Awesome food! The only issue was the kitchen had radio on with punk rock so loud could not enjoy my food.
Food was good, but not having any dolmades or baklava available at lunch? How is that even possible? Food : 4/5
The food is amazing and such friendly service! A favorite in the Soo!
Great experience
Zorbas has been in the Sault for many years. In the years weve been eating here, we have never been disappointed.
Love this place, gyro is top notch and huge! Greek salad is excellent, everything else looks really good (especially the burger) but I cant stop ordering the gyro and salad. Someday I might get to the other things.
Great food! Try the moussaka. Friendly staff.
Amazing spot to grab lunch or dinner! Affordable but high quality food is hard to find!
The chicken gyro is amazing, and the service is excellent
Awesome authentic Greek Cuisine in the heart of downtown SSM!
Best pizza in town! We love it here.
The food is always amazing with the service and reasonable prices in todays economy. A must have is the Gyro, humus and chips. Food
Visiting from Wyoming for the I-500! Hands down, my favorite restaurant in the Soo!
Best best best
We lived this place, sat at the bar and was immediately attended to. Great conversation from all the staff Onto the food.. Bruschetta wasn t what I was used to but still good, Hummus can be hit or miss.. pretty good just make sure you tell the bartender about your puppy tummy .
Great food!!!
Best fries in the Sault. Pizza is outstanding, especially the 4 meat one.
Wonderful food and service!
Nice find in the Soo. Fries outstanding. Gyro one of the best I have had. Big full flavorful. The side salad was sooo good. Olives feta onion and some slices of beet! Beet! When is the last time you saw a salad with beet?! It was delicious and fresh. Definitely stopping here again.
Good food. Nice people. Fair service.
Service was fast and attentive. Food was good.
Great food at decent prices! Great service!
Great food, good prices but the pine sol table top cleaner was mega strong aromatically, interfering with the enjoyment of the meal throughout the dining experience. The server never returned to the table to check on our meal. My water glass was empty sitting on the edge of the table for three quarters of the meal. We frequent this establishment several times per month. Other times we havent encountered these problems. This restaurant and adjoining tavern are a mainstay in the area and were busy tonight.
Good Mediterranean chicken pita
I love eating at Zorbas. Whether you sit in the restaurant or The Alpha bar next door, the service is always top notch and the food is excellent.
Great food, drinks and service was awesome. Thanks so much for loving pour fur babies.
We were in the mood for gyros so we went to Zorbas. We had a cold pitcher of a delightful light summer beer. I had the traditional gyro with a greek salad. The gyro was hot and had fresh tomatoes, lettuce and taziki I chose the side greek sald with had crispy lettuce, feta, kalamata olives, tomatoes, banana peppers and a great dressing. My husband had the chicken gyro. The meat was well seasoned and juicy. His fries were hot,salty and delicious. You cant go wrong with Zorbas.
Ordered greek salad. It was the worst tasting greek dressing I have ever had. Baklava wasnt very good. Waitress said they made it there. I dont think so.
Excellent waitstaff and the food is amazing
Very good place to dine. Food is always good!
The food here is amazing. Its our favorite restaurant in the Soo.
Amazing service! Our waitress Halle was amazing and mentioned it was only her 3rd day of work! I had Combo #3 which included the most amazing gyro and greek salad I have ever eaten. My husband and I live 3hrs away but would consider driving to Sault St. Marie just for this food.
Excellent dinner, servings were generous, waiter was amazing! Small homey restaurant. If I didn t live 8 hours away I would come back often!
Got the alpha #1 Pretty delicious, came out hot and fresh! Felt pretty full after my meal! I enjoyed what I got can t wait to try some more! I d definitely come back here again (: Food
I thought it was too cramped & dirty, in my opinion. Service was very good . I found out I do not like lamb. I hope to never return. I just dont like Greek food, Im sorry for that .
Overpriced for a small amount of mediocre food. They charged $15.00 for a Greek salad with four little chunks of grilled chicken on it. The salad was the size of a side salad at other restaurants. I asked the waitress if it came with with pita bread. She said yes if you request it. Then when I got the bill I noticed she charged $6 extra for the pita bread. The waitress never checked on us, never refilled our waters, and I had to flag her down when we needed extra napkins. Definitely a waste of money as my kids are already asking for more food since they are still hungry after eating. Overall unpleasant experience I will not be coming back.
Food was really good!!!
Best Gyro I have had in the state , I have had them in Greek town , and many cities from Monroe right to Sault Ste Marie, one of my favorite things to eat , Its so good and the Greek salad is perfect, the dressing is it , its so damn good , I could eat that salad everyday
Great food. We ate in the bar next door (same food). William was our waiter. Very personable, efficient, friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We came for the Soo Locks but stayed for the gyros! Best bread Ive ever had in a gyro, because its freshly baked every day, not store-bought and rubbery. The chicken and tzatziki were perfect, too. The only thing crummy was the womens bathroom needed some serious attention (I cant speak for the mens).
Good pizza, good service. Nice Greek options
5 star customer service Keep smiling
Havent been here My review is based on a video on YouTube of the owner and staff. Very polite and friendly, showed his Restaurant in a good light.
Good food. They didnt give me any utensils so I had/got to eat cheesecake with my hands.
Excellent food, delicious gyros and our server was friendly and efficient.
Excellent food. Friendly staff. Ill be back! OK. I came back-4 years later! Food was still delicious, staff super friendly and helpful. If I didnt live about 800 miles away Id be there often! Food
Not my first time coming here, but I brought a friend who has never been and the food was excellent! We both had the gyro and salad combo with chicken skewer. A lot of good food for a decent price. All fresh. Good service. Clean restaurant. Would recommend.
Nice little local joint in downtown Sault Ste Marie Michigan. We love Greek food, so this was a great find for us. The reviews were decent, so we walked in & were seated pretty quickly even though the place was packed at about 2 in the afternoon on a weekday. The inside of this place smells like an old-timey diner. So nostalgic! My husband got one of their bugers with fries, and I got the chicken souvlaki with a Greek salad. My husband said his burger was excellent, and the fries were dynamite! I couldnt stop sharing them with him. :D My souvlaki was very well seasoned & nicely cooked. The chicken chunks were juicy and tender. The greek salad was on point, fresh & all the requisite components! The tzatziki sauce was the best Ive had anywhere. I do wish the meal had come with more feta, and at least one pita. But overall it was a terrific meal, and the server was very pleasant and efficient. We were jonesing for some baklava, but the person who makes it for them was off due to a family emergency, so no baklava. I bet its incredible, though.
I love this place! Its small, quaint, & makes you feel like you found this little place in Greece somewhere! I always order their gyro. Mmmm... AND their fries are SO delicious too! Clean, friendly, food AND prices are great! I DO recommend!
Good food.
I love this place! Its very comfy, with great food. Even got some to go food to eat in the hotel and it was great the next day!
The food here is amazing! Our waiter was upbeat, friendly, and fun. He provided great suggestions to the food. I loved the feta fries, and my family enjoyed their house made grilled chicke pitas and gyro. My Caesar salad was delicious to the last piece of lettuce.
Had a pizza tonight .. best pizza on either side of the border
Best around here
Ive never had a bad dinner or experience here. Always fast and friendly service and the food is always delicious.
Great food, awesome staff.
So good
Excellent food. Very ethical
Good Greek food, excellent service and clean. Highly recommended.
Good people , good food , decent price !
Food was amazing and so was the price. I ordered the classic gyro and my wife ordered the Mediterranean chicken pita after eating the feta fries as an appetizer, all were amazing.
It was very good, the service was great and the company was the best!!
Awesome food, good drinks, great fireplace, jukebox.
Awesome food even better people.
I sometimes have to remind myself to breathe when eating the Greek salad. It s SOOOO tasty!
Honestly service was good but chicken was rubbery and not very good. I read great things and was really really dissapointed!!!
Great food at reasonable price.
Best gyro I ve ever had!!! The pita was so yummy and the lamb was delectable! The spanikopita was so delicious :)
This place was really good! Ive been coming to the Soo for years, and finally gave it a chance. The pita was huge, and we got an order of Feta fries. I was really happy!
We eat here every time were in the Soo and always find good people and super yummy food. Cant go wrong! The feta fries are delicious
Excellent food great cook there. i am not into Greek food but this place is must come too restaurant.
Great food service very helpful thank to all staff
Great Greek food up in the Soo. Who knew?!
Awesome Greek food!
Great Spanikopita. Average pizza and not so fond of the wings.
Great service, great atmosphere, reasonable prices and awesome food!! Wish we lived here! Wheelchair accessibility: I use a chair and its very comfortable here. Easy access, wide doors and great table placement.
They didnt have moussaka available.
Great food! Friendly staff. Had pizza. Yummy!
Great food & even better service!
Great Greek American restaurant! The food was 10/10, the service was 10/10 & the atmosphere was 10/10. I felt like I was going into a relative s place with the old family photos & orthodox icon. They also own the Alpha bar next door. We will be back!
A wonderful change of pace. The food was outstanding. The service was great and the price is fair.
When we entered the restaurant, we where greeted right away and sat down and oder are drinks, After placing are order and slowly sipping are wine after 30 mins we finched are drinks and where asked of we would like a refills and declined and got some waters thinking are food would arrive quickly, We wanted an hour and 15 mins before getting the attention of another waitress as ares had totally forgotten us, and found out they lost are food. So we where offered free drinks on the house from the owner who was there and did not even come out to apologize for are long wait, in the end we waited an hour and half for food which was good but not worth the price tag, but the waitress which was over worked appolgized and made things right.
This was a great place to eat! My girlfriend had the grape leaves and they were excellent and really flavorful. The waitress who helped us was friendly, gave great suggestions and really kind. If you re looking for something beyond the typical burger and bar food this is a great place to stop.
No scordalia:( it was fine besides that
Absolutely delicious. Staff was great. Sat outside and enjoyed my meal.
We went to Zorbas for the first time ever on a Saturday night around 7pm. The restaurant was pretty full and we were drinking water so I asked for a pitcher of water which I was happy about because our waitress was very busy. Our order came after about 45 minutes and the Chicken Caesar salad I ordered was missing an ingredient that was listed on the menu. By the time our food came we were hungry so we ate and our waitress never came back to the table to check on us or see how we were doing. We had to approach the check out stand and ask for our bill and explained that the salad had come out wrong. The waitresses response was oh, $35.99. She did not apologize nor did she offer to make it right. This was a very disappointing experience.
Food is absolutely delicious. The Gyro was stuffed full of meat. An absolute bargain
Good Greek food at a good price. It is located in a space shared by the Apha Bar and both the bar and restaurant salute their Greek Heritage. The service was good, the portions large, and the food was pretty good too. We started with the calamari, then we all ended up ordering the Alpha Gyro plate, I wish I had ordered something else for no other reason than getting to try more of their food items. You can order food on the bar side, and drinks on the restaurant side. All and all the kids enjoyed their kid meals, the adults enjoyed their and we will be back.
This place is a gem. If youre at Soo locks and want to get a late lunch this place is an almost must. The portions are great. We had the Alpha meal which is a Gyro, fries and a drink. The fries themselves were incredible. Our server, Will was awesome, upbeat and made sure we had what we needed without hovering. We for sure will be back here when we come back to the Locks.
We were looking for great pizza in the Soo and didnt want to settle for a chain restaurant. We found it! Our server was great and extremely friendly. The pizza was fantastic! We sat outside and every person who walked by was envious of our pizza. Definitely stop in and have some Zorbas pizza!
Good food , great pizza , real nice bar attached
Great food, reasonable prices. Decent atmosphere. Parking can sometimes be difficult.
Excellent gyro and fries! My friends had a Greek salad, spanikopita and Mediterranean chicken sandwich. All were great!
Our waitress Bobbi was Fantastic and so much Fun! Food is always great.
Great food. A must stop.
AWESOME FOOD!!
The food was fantastic. Best Greek food I ever had. Staff was awesome. Definitely going there again. Parking: 2 hour parking.
Love it there!
Love this place get as much Greek as you can
Ive gone here for 20+ yrs. Quality food isnt the same. $50 for lunch 2 people no drinks. Tip ontop.
Allie was our waitress ! She suggested the dolmade entree. We had never tried it before and it was excellent!! She was the sweetest and most down to earth waiter ever. She was very attentive and genuinely enjoyed serving authentic Greek food. Amazing waitress don t let that one go !! Ty miss Allie
Good location, food, and service. Tzatziki was a unusual but tasty.
Delicious! The house specialities were so so good, no doubt homemade. The bar turns 100 this year and it was very cool inside. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the waitress was very nice and the food delicious. Definitely recommend eating there.
Great food and carryout beer
Excellent!!! Will be back!
Food was good. Service was slow and terrible. Resturant was cold, and there was no dining music. Kitchen staff was rude. Wont be going back.
Amazing food! Will definitely go back soon
Everything we had was delicious and worth the money! Excellent service too
Omg, the food is delicious!!!
Loved
Had stuffed grape leaves. Real good. Yummy
Excellent greek food, good beer and good service
Great food and great service highly recommend
Greek themed restaurant with really good gyros.
Mice folks. Nice too. Even Nicene, if ye e credulous. The veggie Pita was simple and simply outstanding. Kid loved the chicken Gyro and the wings. Good coffee.
Waitress was not attentive, she did not visit to make sure everything was good with the food. Before it got busy she looked our way and did not ask if we were alright on drinks. I had to leave my table or once about the food and flag her down another time as she looked at me then looked away for drinks.
We had the 2 Gyros and a Caesar Salad. Service was good and the food was excellent. We will be going back for more.
Gyros were amazing. Pretty sure the pita was freshly made
Took my husband and he loved it
Gyros were excellent.
Its a nice place. Food is good.
Great food (see pics). Fast friendly Service. Plenty of seating. Clean place. My friend and I will definitely be eating there again
Authentically Awesome! Oh my friend, you must make it a to priority to eat here. Such flavors to make you happy! Loved it. Great and friendly service.
Food and drinks were delicious.
Delicious food and great service I believe our server name was William and he was amazing. Will definitly be coming back when in town.
Very clean place and friendly staff. Very attentive!!! I don t remember our servers name but he was extremely nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The gyros are excellent! So yummy! The fries are also the best I ve ever had and the pita bread is definitely fresh. Most stuff here is homemade. Will definitely come back here when I visit.
We will continue to come back just for Zorbas. Great food and service. You cant go wrong with a meal at Zorbas.
Great restaurant and perfect service. Thank you Will.
The Best! My picky kid asks on a regular basis for me to drive the 9 hour trip just to go there, never mind the Locks or Natural Wonders surrounding us. Clean, well prepared Greek food served by an amazing staff. Our server was amazing and so kind. They were out of baklava when we were there. Looking forward to returning.
Always enjoy good meal here.
Awesome food..... The drinks though...... Coming from Wisconsin that mixer was a shot glass
Excellent food, service and prices. I will definitely eat here again, when in the area.
Always great food and service!
Food was plentiful and delicious. Service was a little slow.
Dinner was fantastic. Their fried pita chips are outstanding! My wife got the chicken gyro and I got the #3 (gamma) combo meal. Restaurant was very clean, staff was friendly and the overall experience had us wanting to come back!
I have never been disappointed with a meal. The atmosphere is just right. Cant wait to go back for Spanakopita
Great pizza. Nice staff
Always great food but the burgers seemed a little extra great this time!
Best gyro Ive had in years
Best Greek food Ive had in years and did not expect it to be in the Soon (no offense to the area, but exciting food is not abundant). We got 3 entrees as takeout: the moussaka, the dolmadas, and gyro, with Greek side salads and fries. Everything was delicious, flavorful, fresh, and we immediately wanted more! The salads were especially surprising, packed full of fresh toppings and crisp lettuce, just what we wanted after a day of hiking and swimming at the beach! My only complaint is that when we called the order in they overestimated the wait time, so when we picked up our food it had gone cold. Not great and we were upset, but at least the food was still delicious. Cant believe how good it would have tasted had it been hot!
Zorbas was great! Service was perfect and food was as well. Would love for them to expand to Marquette, MI.
Awesome food!
Food came quickly and service was good.
Stuffed grape leaves are terrific come with fresh greek salad. Too much for me but so good. And get a baklava to take home for later, you wont regret it.
The food was excellent and the service was great
Great food. The pita chips appetizer is good. The tzaziki sauce is really good and the homemade pita chips are tasty. My gyro was good. Packed full of meat. Not spit roasted on-site, but still tasty. And the pita it came on was fresh and soft. A bit pricier than the Greek diners I am used to in the metro Detroit area, but I think its great we have Greek food up here. The eastern UP isnt exactly known for its variety of ethnic food! Overall, a great place to eat!
Although the menu is limited, the food was great. Well cooked and the wait wasnt long at all. Wait staff are great!
Service was just ok. Waitress never came back to check on us. Didnt get the side of ranch I ordered. Would have liked a refill on my soft drink. Please clean the womens bathroom.
Always have such a great meal
Great gyro, it really hit the spot. So did the Greek salad. Im used to small inadequate salads but this was full of fetta and olives
Nice place to eat in Sault ste Marie
Always on point!
