Casa Grecque

Decided to give Casa Grec another try for their Friday lunch special, & honestly, I left disappointed. While most spots offer lunch deals until 3 p.m., which was convenient, that's about the only positive thing I can say.

The vibe? Dead. Aside from a few folks over 65, the place felt lifeless. What used to be a charming touch-the basket of warm bread & butter-has now been swapped for hard, weirdly toasted garlic bread that tasted stale & uninspired.

We started with their complimentary soup, which is supposed to be chicken noodle. What we got was a creamy, dill-heavy concoction that didn't resemble chicken noodle in taste or appearance. Just… no.

I ordered the shrimp special. While the salad dressing is still a hit (it's the one thing they've consistently done right), the rest of the plate fell flat. The shrimps were tiny-like laughably small. Presentation? Nonexistent. Across the street at au Vieux Duluth , they serve shrimp twice the size, & their portions (salad, rice, potatoes) are far more generous!!!!!!

Let's talk about the calamari. We ordered it as an add-on & regretted it instantly. It was rubbery, flavorless, & served with a cheap cocktail sauce you'd expect from a frozen shrimp ring. We decided to pack it up to go, but the smell was so foul in the car-like actual rotten fish-that we had to pull over, find a garbage can, & toss it out. Zero stars. Do not eat that.🤮

My boyfriend's steak? A total joke. We asked for medium, got a dry, rubbery well-done mess that looked like it had been through war. He barely touched it. There sauce/ gravy is good & that the only reason we / me chose this place to eat in the first place.

This used to be a place my mother-in-law would order from for New Year's. I've told her to stop-there's just no quality here anymore. The ambiance isn't inviting, the food isn't worth the price (I paid $19.95 for four mini shrimp), & I wouldn't consider it for celebrations, date nights, or honestly anything.

I've been a Yelp Elite for 12 years & I review restaurants professionally-this one is a hard pass. Maybe it was something 20 years ago, but it's definitely not it today.View more

I had the butterfly shrimp lunch special, & my mum had the hamburger steak. It had been years since I've visited Casa Grecque. Typical Greek favorites & BYOW, Accommodate groups of all sizes, as there's something for everyone. Portion sizes have been greatly reduced, but it was enough for us, & the price is fair. Parking is plentiful. No complaints.View more

I honestly like this family resto but this time it was so disappointing I don't know when we will ever go back. I know they are very busy but we were seated at the very last table next to the kitchen..unbelieveably loud noise from crashing plates, yelling orders, we couldn't hear ourselves talk. The most upsetting is that we could see ALL staff working in kitchen were not wearing any hair nets. I saw at least one waiter putting a big shrimp onto a skewer for a drink, using bare hands. When I pointed this out to our waiter he said it was odd in light of the fact there had been an inspection just a couple days before. The owners/managers were there & should have had more sanitary control. For the price, I think we will find another place with stricter food standards, esp. before covid or other health bugs start resurfacing in the Fall. Sorry Casa Grecque.View more
