A highly regarded, generous Greek restaurant near Hershey with standout gyros, souvlaki, traditional dishes, desserts, and strong value, though service and takeout accuracy can occasionally falter.
Simply Greek earns its standing through exceptional food quality, with gyros, souvlaki, and fresh seasoning drawing praise from many diners. Occasional inattentiveness during busy periods and recent takeout complaints keep it just short of the very top tier. The modern, well-kept dining room suits its Hershey location, though it draws more on convenience than on destination appeal.
Simply Greek is a bright, casual Hummelstown dining stop that works especially well after a day at Hershey. Reviews repeatedly describe a welcoming room, quick food, and generous hospitality; one family summed up the experience as a place with “a positive atmosphere” and plenty of choice. It is accessible rather than precious, with counter ordering and takeout alongside current dine-in service. The cooking is traditional Greek comfort food with an unusually broad menu: tender gyros and souvlaki, village salad, dips, spanakopita, moussaka, lamb youvetsi, burgers, bowls, and substantial platters. The strongest consensus is around seasoned meats, fresh pita, generous portions, and desserts, particularly baklava cheesecake and frozen Greek yogurt. A minority of diners report dry meat, soggy fries, inconsistent salads, or disappointing takeout, so dine-in is the safer bet when you want the best version of the food. Families are well served by the current menu: fries, burgers, gyros, pita, chicken, rice-based bowls, plain frozen yogurt, and approachable desserts give picky eaters several realistic choices. Reviews include successful meals with children and praise the menu breadth, although one guest did not see a dedicated kids’ menu. Vegetarian and vegan diners have especially strong coverage through falafel, hummus, dips, salads, roasted vegetables, and plant-based pitas.
