Leave a ReviewKeese’s is absolutely the best! We have ordered catering from them before, and the food is always hot, fresh and delivered right on time. Everyone loves the food - the falafel, gyro, pita, tsatsiki, hummus, Greek salad, rice and beans - it’s really authentic and totally delicious. Everyone always comments on how good and fresh the food is. They are our go-to for catering every time.
See moreAmazing, authentic Greek cuisine at a reasonable price! The branzino and family meals are spectacular, and never have I ever had octopus so tender.
We had a reservation for 10. Everything was exceptional. We ordered 14 dishes and two cheeseburgers. Kids loved the hearty cheeseburgers. All of us were so impressed by our food. The highlights were the spanakopita, the lamb shank with lemon potatoes, Grandma‘s favorite, the falafel, the octopus and the moussaka. They had a good wine selection and we all enjoyed trying a different type. Servers were kind and thoughtful and the music and atmosphere sitting outside was very enjoyable for our extended family get together. We will be back and we highly recommend. We’re surprised this place was not jammed on a Wednesday night. The lamb dishes and spanakopita were life-changing. Staff was very responsive to our needs regarding food allergies.
