Worst customer service ever! Marie-- the fat girl behind the counter... watch OUT! Shes soooo Rude! Why even work when you act and look miserable? Ordered food here and asked for more (Since I was ordering EXTRA MEAT) she rolled her eyes, looked over at her other employee and told me " Well what? You want more? It cost more. OK " She was completely RUDE. I PAID FOR MORE you dumb a$$! She rang me out and just huffed and puffed. Charged me $5.00 more. Whatever! I called to speak to the manager and THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. WORST PLACE EVER! Their lamb meat is just greasy! Please. Go elsewhere... Their chicken meat is DRY. Can you mess up an order, and your food ? then be rude to make the whole experience the worst ever? Marie -- please remove yourself. You suck and the owners obviously DO NOT CARE. They FAIL to call you back. BEWARE!

Tinos on Brodie unfortunately screams "mediocre" from the moment you walk in the door. With its hastily tacked-up posters of Greek scenery and spartan (heh...) decor, its not a place that encourages dining in. On the positive side, you get a lot of food for what you pay, and its served cafeteria style so you can choose what youd like. The gyros were the best part of my meal. But how could a rotating, roasting column of meat not be tasty? The hummus had a nice texture but could have used more garlic, and the soup that comes with a combo meal just seems like an unnecessary afterthought. Dont get me wrong--Tinos will do in a pinch, but consider the other options in the Brodie area before landing on this one.

We have often eaten at Tinos Greek Cafe over the past 4 years and always enjoyed it. Tonight we ordered 2 greek salads and they were awful. We order it with chicken and the chicken was mushy. It wasnt sliced off the vertical spit - it was hacked. There wasnt much chicken but what was there was tasteless or charred. When they started making our salads they realized they were low on lettuce. Instead of getting a fresh bin of lettuce, they cheaped out and made one salad with the worst lettuce available and the other with lettuce from a new bin. Think I want to go back there - I think not!

A Vegan- First moved to Austin and ate here twice- Was told the falafel pita was Vegan. Drove 15 miles today to come eat again. The same dude couldnt form a complete sentence to tell me it was NOT VEGAN. He pointed to the newly HAND written words by falafel which said "contains eggs and milk." The guy said "it doesnt have that much." It was very frustrating to explain to him what a Vegan was. Falafel is SUPPOSED TO BE VEGAN. Greek restaurants ALL KNOW what a Vegan is- at least all the other ones Ive been to. Ate non-vegan falafels twice already. Sucks being lied to. Wont go back.

I love this place! I cant vouch for everything on the menu, Ive never tried the lasagna looking dish, but everything else Ive had here is great! I especially love the babaganouche (even though Im sure Im misspelling it). Its darker and creamier than any Ive had anywhere else, so Im not sure what extra they put in it, but its amazing!! And a dinner combo is enough food to pick up and last you three meals. For $12, that aint half bad. The interior is never anything special, but its always clean, and the people behind the counter have always been nice and helpful when Ive gone in.

This has to be the worst greek food i have ever had. The pita was stale, the tabouleh salad tasted old and bland, and the falafel was soggy and also bland. The tzatziki tasted like ranch dressing. What the hell! Maybe i have high standards because i used to work in a mediterranean restaurant, but this place was awful. I had such high hopes because it smelled great, the gyro meat was on a vertical spit like i would have expected, but nothing about this place was fresh. Try Toms Tabooley instead.

My favorite is the spanikopita - usually get the chicken platter which is chicken and three sides plus salad and soup. Its a lot of food. Havent tried everything yet. The lunch price is less than the dinner price. I went with a friend who needed gluten-free and they had a menu that noted everything that was without gluten. The three times Ive been there the guys behind the counter sort of mumble so dont be afraid to ask them to speak a little louder. They are really nice.

From the time they first opened until about a year ago, I would have given Tinos five stars. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants. But every time Ive gone in the past six months, theyve been out of something I wanted, their lamb has been overcooked, or theyve forgotten my pita bread. So disappointing. At least their lemon chicken soup and hummus are still delicious.

Tinos isnt a bad place for a quick Greek fix. The cafeteria-style restaurants have plenty of options - dolmas, hummus, moussaka, falafel, spanikopita, lemon chicken soup, etc. Portions are fairly large, and quality is okay. The restaurants are nothing fancy, but its a good place for lunch. I just happen to like Arpeggio Grill better.

Worst food ever ate, left over food from previous business day , not even warm food , no taste at all , not clean. Horrible experience , got food poison all the family including my 9 year old . Will call health inspection to check food temp, and to check freshness and food quality. This is bad food to serve to public..

Ive only been here once, but I was surprised by how good the food was. I need to find an excuse to go again. The portions are nice and large, but you wont feel too full when you leave. I like how you can see the gyro meat being cut right in front of you. Looks so juicy and tasty.

Basically cafeteria-style Greek fast food - so selections are limited. Standard gyro and gyro platter selections. The food always tastes fresh and is good, and if you need something to grab and go this is always a great option. I love their lemon chicken soup.

I love Tinos and have eaten at other locations for years. IMO this location was sub par to the others however this is based one only 1 visit. FYI: Falafels are made to order (3 min wait) and theyre delicious. So that should be fresh and hot.

Ive only been to the new store located at the Mueller development. The food was okay, but is pretty expensive for what you get. On the plus side, you get a lot of it (food), so one plate is typically more than enough for 2.

The plates are huge, especially if you like a variety of food. Its also very fast. The only not so good sides are the mousakka and that the food may taste like its been sitting out a while.

I eat meat, veggies, ..pretty much everything, but here I get their veggie plate, i choose: hummus, tabouleh, feta salad, steamed veggies and cup of lentil soup. Its real good.

I can only recommend the gyros from my experience. The meat is always tender and the fixings on point. My only disappointment is lack of seating, otherwise solid lunch spot.

Delicious greek food. Their chicken is incredibly flavorful and the tzatziki sauce is my favorite in town. If you’re ordering a plate, be prepared for a lot of food!
