⭐️ 1 STAR — EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING AND UNACCEPTABLE EXPERIENCE
My husband and I went to the farmers market in Tradition on Sunday and decided to stop at Spiros Greek Restaurant for lunch. I love Greek food, so we were excited to try it and thought it would be a good choice.
Unfortunately, what happened was absolutely shocking and completely unacceptable.
Our female server was very sweet and polite, but the male server working with her appeared to have very little knowledge of which food belonged to which table.
I ordered a chicken wrap with fries. Instead of bringing it to me, he brought what looked like my order to the table directly next to us. Even though they came in after us and ordered their meal later. They received their order before us.
I watched the woman at that table start eating the fries and picking at the chicken wrap. At first, I thought maybe I had somehow misunderstood and it was actually her order, so I waited.
About 5 minutes later, the male server came back to her table, and she told him that the food wasn’t hers.
He then took the plate — which had already been eaten from — and brought it back toward the kitchen. I could see that a significant portion of the fries had already been eaten and the chicken wrap had been picked at.
What happened next is what completely shocked me.
Instead of throwing the food away, the chef apparently handed the same plate back to the server. The server then brought it toward MY table.
Yes — they were about to serve me food that another customer had already eaten.
When I pointed this out to my server, she took the plate back and told me they would make me a fresh one.
I was honestly stunned. How is it even remotely acceptable to take food that has already been served to and eaten by another customer and attempt to serve it to someone else?
A few minutes later, my server came back and said they had made a fresh one for me.
At that point, I was so uncomfortable and upset that I didn’t want to eat anything from that kitchen anymore. I was extremely hungry, but I ended up eating some of my husband’s fries because I didn’t feel comfortable touching my own meal.
The worst part was the complete lack of professionalism afterward.
The manager never came to our table once. No apology. No explanation. No acknowledgment of what had happened.
Meanwhile, I could hear the kitchen staff laughing loudly, which honestly made the situation even worse. After what had just happened, I couldn’t help but wonder whether the “fresh” meal was actually fresh or whether the original food had simply been reheated or remade.
I didn’t touch it.
At the end, I told my server that I no longer wanted the food. She took the plate to the manager. I watched as she spoke to the manager, and they were both laughing. My server was also rolling her eyes and laughing.
There was nothing funny about this situation.
Mistakes happen in restaurants. I understand that. But serving food that has already been eaten by another customer to a completely different customer is not a simple mistake that should be laughed off. It is a serious food-safety and sanitation concern.
I came in hungry and excited to eat Greek food. I left disgusted, upset, and completely disappointed.
I will NEVER come back to Spiros Greek Restaurant, and I will absolutely tell my friends and family about this experience.
If you decide to eat here, do so at your own risk. I personally would not trust this restaurant with my food after what I witnessed.
