A first-time visit to this bustling restaurant on a Friday night revealed a pleasant ambiance. Opting for the bar, we experienced friendly and prompt service, complemented by a delightful selection of specialty drinks. While the food was generally good, my only gripe was that my gyro notably lacked tzatziki sauce.

I was working in Weirton, West Virginia on a beautiful 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and I asked our wonderful customer where is a good local and non-chain place to eat. He immediately recommended Theo Yianni's Greek Restaurant which was about 4.0 miles away. Theo Yianni's Greek Restaurant is a simple, casual, and cozy eatery with great food and beverages. They have a simple menu that is not too busy and has something for everyone. You can have a delicious and fresh meal coupled with warm, friendly, and attentive customer service. The establishment is a really popular place with the locals and it is definitely a "Refreshing Change from the Chains! It can get very busy in there and so arrive early and you won't be disappointed! Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the host. She was very friendly, pleasant, professional, and had a genuine smile. It was a Monday around 03:00 PM and I was immediately seated, provided with menus and my beverage order taken. Janet was my server and she smiled, welcomed me, and immediately introduced herself. I was fine with water, no ice, and four lemons. For my entree, I ordered the Bourbon Glazed Salmon with rice, and asparagus. Janet immediately brought out my Small Greek Salad with homemade Greek Salad Dressing. Just as I was cleaning up my salad... Janet was bringing out my entree with perfect timing. Everything was delicious and my meal was prepared, portioned, cooked to perfection, and served hot! Janet was very attentive, friendly, efficient, and happy to help! In short, the great food and awesome customer service made for an awesome dinning experience! I will definitely be returning here when we are in the Weirton, West Virginia area to try some of their other entrees, appetizers, specials, and dessert.

You simply cannot go wrong with Theos. We’ve eaten here many times and always try something new and have yet to be disappointed. Everything is so fresh even for take out & the customer service is phenomenal (thank you Margie for being so sweet!) You only live once, get the baklava cheesecake

This is one of my favorite places to eat when we visit. The Greek fries?!? Oh. My. Goodness. The bang sauce? Tasty. Shrimp in the bang sauce? Tasty elevated! The bruschetta burger and fish sandwich were also devoured by our party. Our waitress was super attentive and we did not wait for drink refills. Lovely outside sitting area, and 2 different eating areas inside.

AMAZING GREEK FOOD IN WEST VIRGINIA.......WORTH THE DRIVE FROM ANYWHERE. The Gyro meat was the best I have ever had and they accommodated all of my dietary restrictions with ease and a smile. Our server Allura B was spectacular and the owner for over 30 years came out to speak with our table about the food and meal. Love this Restaurant and can't wait to go back. Wow!!!!

The food is really good, nice menu variety, great service, and comfortable atmosphere. It is a bit pricey though for the portion size, but the quality makes up for it. My only complaint is that their specialty gyro pizza is great, but it's kind of small and only comes in an 8-cut. I would definitely like a larger pizza than that, especially when we have 4 people. Otherwise, great experience our first time there, will be back, and would recommend!
