Their "Greek salad" is nothing even close to being good. It's shredded iceburg lettuce with domestic mild feta cheese crumbs (not crumbled, but crumbs), little strips of ham, a couple of kalamata olives with the pits still in them, a diced pepperoncini, a couple of tomatoes, and a vinaigrette dressing. You can ask for anchovies but it doesn't come with them automatically. You shred lettuce to make subs, not salads. And the feta cheese should be pungent, salty, in small diced chunks or thick crumbles, not tiny tidbits like panko bread crumbs. The dressing shouldn't have vinegar in it at all, greek dressing is olive oil and lemon juice. You don't put ham in a greek salad. That's just - not a greek salad at all. It's a bread-less hoagie.

Their red sauce is a meat sauce, and it's a good sauce, but they serve dishes with italian names and greek lasagna should be called pastitsio, not lasagna. Theirs is absolutely a greek dish, and is absolutely not an Italian lasagna. For italian lasagna, it's horrible. For greek pastitsio, it's very tasty and well-made.

They need to not try to be something else, and focus on being greek. And for god's sake don't sell meatball subs. They're bread subs with meat in them. Really bad.
