Thoughts: Zorba's Pizza & Grill is a small "Greek" restaurant located on the southside of Aiken. We went in hoping for great food but were left wanting. The service was a bit slow. We had to wait to be asked for our drink order and then waited a little longer for our food orders to be taken. We ordered an appetizer, a few small pizzas and two hot sandwiches (between the four of us) so as to get a wide variety of flavors and foods. The pizzas were pretty good, however the sandwiches were sub-par. The seasonings were not quite right and the meat used did not seem to be fresh but frozen. We ended up throwing most of the sandwiches away, unfortunately. If we were to go back we would stick with pizza and stay away from the sandwiches. If you do not care about flavor and only the amount of food you get, then you may enjoy Zorba's--there was planty of food. To touch on the atmosphere of the place, it felt like there was too much going on. It was a mix of your avarage sportsbar/pizza place and an old-time Greek restaurant. Overall, the experience was just OK. I would not recommend them to you if you are in a hurry or would like to enjoy a quiet Greek meal...Zorba's will offer neither. And if you go, stick with the pizza.

Ratings:
Flavor: Just OK
Service: Slow
Presentation: Just OK
Price: $$*
Ambiance: Dark and too much going on; not one main theme
Pros/Cons:
Pros: Good portions; patio dining; free refills
Cons: Slow service; sticky tables; where's the Greek food?

Final Thoughts: We would not recommend Zorba's as a first choice to someone asking where they should eat in Aiken. It can be skipped with nothing lost in your Aiken experience.
