Effie's - Darby Township

We sat outside in enclosed patio; very nice. Food and service were excellent

Great Greek institution, rustic surroundings, choice of 3 very different dining rooms, beautiful part of the city, same owners all this time. Effie will say hello to you if you don’t say something first. I remember when Effie’s parents started her namesake restaurant. The whole family was wonderful and Effie carries on the tradition.

Great neighborhood spot. The food is consistently great, the staff warm and wonderful, and the dinner always great.

Everything about Effie's was great! Effie is an amazing Chef and person. She takes the time out to stop by tables and talk to her guests to see how we are doing and if we are enjoying her dishes. The homemade Baklava was supppperrrr yummy , as was the Spanikopita. Loved the mussels with Feta too and the fried cheese and zucchini slices. The food was delish all around . Took a friend there for her first time. It's a BYOB. We loved the atmosphere in the garden in the back yard. The server was very attentive too. I definitely will be back there again with family and friends. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Our meal was pretty disastrous. They were either terribly understaffed or incompetent. It took more than 30 minutes to get menus, even longer for water and wine glasses (we’d brought our own wine , and finally our food orders. After the endless wait, the food was really ordinary. You can get better kebabs and humus at dozens of places in Philly. Our server was very friendly but didn’t acknowledge the extreme delay or offer to reduce any of our tab, as a more professional restaurant would have. We were upstairs, where it was nice and quiet had our food come promptly and been higher quality, it would have been a fun experience. (Note that the walls need to be painted up there, though, and that the stairs are steep and narrow and this unsuitable for some customers.
