The Greek Fries here are amazing! The feta cheese pairs perfectly with them, creating such a rich flavor. I will definitely get it regularly.
Don't sleep on this place. The lamb chop with potatoes is delicious, and we also enjoy the skewers in all their versions. I have yet to order a meal and have an issue.
My wife loves this place. I mean sneaks and eats there all the time. She doesn't have to sneak anymore. This food is delicious. It's fast too. Food came out faster than a drive thru. My only complaint is I can't stop eating it! I was uncomfortably full. I will be scheduling a walk after the next time I go. It's a strong possibility it will be tomorrow. Not cheap though but they can have all my money. I had the chicken and the steak. Of course I had to add my extra protein. I liked the chicken more than I liked the steak but it was still pretty good. The pilaf was so perfect. The flavors were chefs kiss. The pita was soft. The salad was fresh. I can't say enough good things. I'm officially a fan.
Quickly gets busy but fast and friendly service. The interior was nice and cool, and there is also outdoor seating available. Cute fast dining restaurant. The food itself was pretty good. Not the best Greek food, but still decent and especially for the price. The platter is skewered meat, pita bread, a hefty portion of tzatziki, and 2 sides. There was so much food to each platter that my friend and I each had two plates of food (pictures only show main plate with 1 side).
I have been coming here for years... when they first opened this location I was hoping for a traditional sit-down clone of the original Samos... but in the end this was obviously both the correct business decision and also the best for all of us customers! If you want more formal (but still relaxed) sit-down traditional Greek food, with the wide array of slow cooked and complicated dishes, you should go to the original Samos in Greektown. If you want the faster fare version, either for a casual sit-down or take-away meal, this is the best place for Greek food anywhere in Baltimore. Everything, and I mean everything, on the menu is amazing. In the Greek spreads I recommend the tzatziki or the tapenade, but they're all good. The salads are robust, and if you add protein they can serve very easily as a full meal. The pita wraps are all very well portioned and reasonably priced. The small plates work well for sharing as an appetizer or a side dish, and I in particular love the spanakopita and fried calamari. The platters are my go to for an after workout lunch or a dinner. The vegetarian moussaka is delicious and absolutely worth trying. All of the side dishes are delicious, and it's really a matter of your preference. Adding a grilled souvlaki skewer is really only beneficial if you feel like you need extra protein. The normal portions on the platters and salads and wraps is more than adequate. The one thing I would not strongly recommend are t desserts... It's just not as good as at the traditional restaurant.
Came here w/ some coworkers after work with their recommendation. I came on a weekday during lunch hour and while it was initially empty, it became very full and there quickly was no tables left by the left we were down eating, definitely a popular place! Fried calamari 4.5/5, would have preferred to be more well done and crunchy but overall very well made and a lovely appetizer Roasted potatoes 3/5 very soft potatoes, again I would have preferred these to be more well done and crunchy but these were soft enough to virtually melt in your mouth which was not at all what I expected Grilled lamb sliced pita - 4.5/5, this was my main order, I was full for HOURS. the lamb is thinly sliced and well seasoned, and the tomatoes and onions were fresh and mixed well with the tahini sauce. Parking is definitely an issue right next to the shop but given its location in a giant outdoor shopping center, what better way to work off some of the huge meal you're about to chow down on then parking a bit further away and walking it off?
Samos is still very much a fan favorite for me. It's on the more expensive side when you think of take out, but it is a solid meal when you need something in a pinch. The hummus and pita is really good, and the chicken skewer platters are lovely. I prefer the rice to the potatoes as a side order, but the Greek salad is really a show stopper for me. The service is smooth and efficient when I'm picking up food. My friends were even able to get a to go order for me on my most recent visit. I might dine in eventually, especially with the tables outside when the weather is nice.
I was glad to find Samos Greek Island Grill. We had tried to go to the full service restaurant in Greektown, but I was getting frustrated with parking, so we came here instead, as Canton Crossing has plenty of parking. Staff was very friendly. I ordered the pork souvlaki platter with Greek fries and salad; my friend got the lamb souvlaki platter with Greek fries and grilled vegetables. Everything was delicious. The feta in the salad was so good. The pork and lamb were both well-seasoned. Portions were good though it is only one skewer of meat. We were both happy with our meals. I'd return to this fast casual location anytime, though I hope to try the full service location soon.
This isn't my usual Samos, the one at McHenry Row is more convenient to where I live. However, yesterday I was in Canton for an appointment and decided to grab dinner at this particular Samos. I went with my usual, the gyro pita and mixed veggies (I would have gotten a drink but they didn't have any birch beer on tap, poo!). I'd just sat down when the food was brought out to me, which was great b/c I was STARVING! So, idk what the Canton location is doing differently from McHenry Row, but the gyro AND the veggies were seasoned better in Canton. Not sure if it was the tzatziki sauce or if the tomatoes had a little something extra on them, or if a different seasoning is used on the grilled veggies. Either way, the food was on point and I wish I lived closer to Canton.
