While I live four minutes from CrossRhodes, I haven't been there in over five years with one exception ca. 6 mos. ago. While the chicken was always acceptable and the fries were decent fresh ( until they got soggy from the lemon juice) I do not reccomend them for Greek food. Their Tzatziki is insipid,and the Feta is easily the worst I have had! i can go to jewel two blocks north and get better. However there is an alternative. Psistaria on Touhy right before the Edens is my fave. Everything is excellent. My  Sister in law lives in Greece and it's her choice when shes in town.

Funny, my experience has been just the opposite. Really hate Psisteria, been there several times. Lousy food and very surly service.

All a matter of taste
