Reviews for Souvlaki Bar describe generous portions, fresh and flavorful Greek inspired dishes, and friendly, attentive service that many find welcoming and efficient. Diners frequently highlight the meat shovels, souvlaki plates, gyro options, calamari, and large salads as standout options, with prices considered a solid value given portion sizes. The atmosphere is described as cozy and family friendly, though it can be busy on weekends and peak hours, leading to longer waits for certain courses or drinks. Takeout is praised as well, matching dine in quality for many, while a few comments note inconsistencies in flavor or texture, including a dry shaved meat, underseasoned dressing, and in one case overcooked chicken. A few diners also mentioned slow drink service but quick plate delivery once orders were placed, and a small cleanliness concern with high chairs. Overall Souvlaki Bar emerges as a reliable, satisfying option for hearty Greek meals with generous portions, strong service, and a lively vibe, with most experiences leaving diners planning a return visit.
The food was not good at all. The chicken was not fresh, & the sour cream in the tzakski tasted funny in the chicken pita. The potatos were dark, like old & not edible at all. The rice was clumpy, like fresh & old rice combined. I was very disappointed compared to the previous time in the summer, it was very good! The waitress was very pleasant & helpful. Exchanged the pita souvlaki with tzakski to one without. It was a Tuesday dinner. Will not be returning there again.
Food was good & large portions are always a plus...would receive souvlaki bar... I had the calamari then a 2 souvlaki pita plate that was overflowing with food & my girlfriend had the 1 stick souvlaki plate...we both enjoyed our dinner....

Honestly the best meal I've had at a restaurant in a while. I took the porc pita plate & was very satisfied with a large portion of delicious food. My greek grandmother loves it, so you know it has to be good!
Assez déçu de ma première visite dans cette chaine de restaurants grec.. Tsé, quand faut que tu demandes des ustensiles & des napkins parce que personne n'a pensé à nous en donner avec notre repas... ouf! Nous avons commandé des calmars frits. Ils semblaient fort prometteurs. Toutefois, assez difficile à manger (caoutchouteux). La panure & les sauces était correctes. Plat principal, assiette de pita gyro au poulet avec patates grecques & salade. Je m'attendais à de bonnes patates rôti avec assaisonnement. Non, reçu des quartiers de patates toutes pâteuses avec une sauce style poutine. Le gyro était bon par contre.
First time there & quite disappointed. I don't think I will eat there again. The souvlaki pita was dry & the pita had pronounced uncook floor taste. Chicken was super dry. The octopus was a total miss & simply not good. This is not how to cook octopus!
A nice, service is agreeable & fast. Ordered the sesame grilled feta cheese. Very nice. Then the gyro chicken pork & louktnos for two. With extra pita... The plate is way too much for two, i think they would be better served by adding some condiments like lettuce, tomato & cucumber to make the experience better. The food is way way too seasoned almost too salty... So a bit of veggies would tone down the saltiness of the whole meal.. But will go back..

Had the souvlaki pita plate. Everything was good. Their french fries are exceptionally good. Had this same meal at their location in Blainville get, & the fries there were also exceptionally good. Prices are very reasonable considering how much food you get, especially in comparison to other restaurants. My friend had the lentil soup & the chicken gyro bowl, both of which she said were excellent. Have eaten at various Souvlaki Bar locations. They were all good. Will definitely continue to eat there.
We first tried this resto in st jean sur richelieu & loved it. realizing there was one closer to us in Dix30 we were so happy & had to make our second visit. Souvlaki Bar didn't disappoint. The service & food was on par & great. We ordered the 2 stick chicken souvlaki, Greek salad & the club souvlaki pita. so good. ! def recommended.
Les patates servies avec l'assiette de pita souvlaki ne sont pas bonnes, trop huileuses. La salade était ordinaire. C'est assez cher, le rapport qualité-prix n'y est pas. Le service est bon & l'ambiance correcte.

The plates are huge & the prices are reasonable. Hopefully my comments could help the chef in some way. We were 3 & all found that the rice was bland. The salad is very good, the pita bread was amazing & the fries are incredible (but the greek potatoes not so much). My dad had calamari, they were rubbery & both the sauces don't really fit flavor-wise. We waited 45 minutes for a pretty ordinary experience. Overall I would recommend but I would not go back as there was nothing memorable.
I try to pass by when I'm in the mood for simple Greek fare. Friendly service, consistently good food & huge portions. Staff are always accommodating & aim to please. No, it's not fancy, & it's part of a chain, but this location has always hit the mark. I love the calamari pita plate. It's actually better than some of the meals I had in Greece.
