The food is pretty good but behind the bar floods and the poor bartenders have to walk through it. Looks pretty ghetto and unprofessional. Also has an odor. Although has good food, not very appetizing place. Gotta get it together

Ordered carry out. Service team sounded stressed on the phone ( understandably!) Everyone did a great job, food was hot and care was taken in the packaging. Mars Bar has set a standard in house and now they have Set the bar in carry out. Can’t wait to return. Thanks!!

Awful. Called ahead and planned the evening based on the fact they stated they allowed dogs on the patio. Showed up and some snotty lady barley murmured she would be with us. We stood there alone, not another customer on the patio or in line a full ten minutes in the Beating sun before she acknowledged us. Again, not one person on the patio. No line. I understand the stress of being a server, but I couldn’t figure out what she was doing. Sat down and another ten minutes later she cameOver with complete attitude and annoyance. I just got up and left with the others and went across the street to the beer engine where we had great service and a nice time.

I hadnt been here since the restaurant addition. The menu is great bar/Greek fusion. We have a big family so we were all able to sample a good cross section of the food. Presentation was great. Gyros were on point, and the tzatzkiki sauce and lemon yogurt were fresh and homemade. Even the kids meals, which are usually an afterthought at most restaurants, was really good. The pita pizza was great and the chicken tenders were fresh and cooked well. Service was good too, everyone was friendly and upbeat. The decor is clean and modern and the owner even stopped by to chat.

Review №21

When we got there the waitress for the patio area was very rude, she took forever to give us a menu and when we asked for some she gave us an attitude. We didn’t feel Comfortable staying at this spot because of her rudeness so we left. Plenty of other spots to go to in Lakewood

Tony is an awesome bartender. The owner George is active in his buisness ensuring that all customers are satisfied with the service. With authentic and the most amazing greek food

Review №24

Much better food than I expected.We came here for a family birthday party and the staff and food was wonderful. Food came out very quickly. The chicken for my sandwich was cooked perfectly. It takes a good cook to make a shaped chicken breast juicy and flavorful.The place is small but has heart.

I should be apologizing for not having written a review sooner with how often i have ordered the gyro platter recently. Family friendly. My girls love it. Forget the Engine and Barrio (no offense to them either, but hey) if you want great food and atmosphere at a reasonable price in Lakewood, Go to the new and improved Mars Bar! So glad this place is in the neighborhood.

Review №37

Always a good place to stop in. Very cozy little spot.Recently updated, it made all the difference.I cant front, the vegan gyro is usually my main reason for dropping in.Friendly staff, great service.

This place has a really wonderful menu. Its surprising for a neighborhood bar. The selection of Greek food is incredible and, wow, their portions are generous to say the least. Do yourself a favor and have the meatballs.

Bi
Review №40

The addition of the cafe to the original bar was a fantastic idea. Lamb meatball appetizer is wonderful. Salads were very good but would have benefited from some darker greens and in my partners case fresher (some browning observed). Carrot cake respectable but almost equal volumes of frosting and cake might better lean toward more cake.

Review №41

One of the best bars in Lakewood, fantastic food and drink menu. Kind of a staple location for residents of Lakewood but for friends and family visiting Id highly recommend stopping in. The owner, George, keeps the environment fresh and clean, mingles with guests and is an overall great person. Menu is mostly Greek cusine, there are a few Greek beers and spirits available to consume. Stop in and blast off to Mars! Opa!!

Review №42

It was great had the French Burger and spicy ravioli wich is pan fried they underwent a recent expansion and its very nice and comfortable even though I sat outside on the patio because the weather will be turning soon and I wanted to enjoy the night. They have some interesting items on the menu that I want to bring back some friends next time so we could try and share a few things. I live in the neighborhood and we have a growing number of great places I hope for a long term success with the Mars Bars expansion

Review №47

Called in and ordered take from here. Order a chicken gyro and they gave me shredded chicken and cut up pita. That’s what I get for not looking at my food before I leave this place. This is not a chicken gyro, and not what I ordered at all. Cost me more money too. Not the first time I’ve had issue with ordering take out from here. At least they gave me my fries this time. Food is good though. Besides this order

George has done great things with this establishment. Delicious food, great drink selection, and a beautiful new addition for more dining space. The staff is amazing as well.

Review №50

Nice atmosphere and a great new addition has been added! The food was good, and we enjoyed it. Everyone raves about the gyro but I think with all that buzz I was expecting more, but the spit gyro was good. The hummus is a bit pricier than we expected for such a small 4oz portion but then again when you make it at home and know the actual cost that sometimes happens. I would definitely return for the nice new addition and to hang out with my friends! Made me feel like I was on PIB with the great outdoors feeling!

Some of the best bar food I ever ate. Portions are good size well cooked and flavored. Bartenders are clean neat friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere is laid back and very clean. Music isnt so loud you cant talk and the owner is very friendly not only did he come out and greet me but also bought me a drink the second time i came in very classy.

This is probably one of my favorite go-to spots when tying to accommodate the whole crowd. Theres a little bit of everything for everyone. From the tastiest gyros in town, to healthy salad options, to tequila shots...Mars Bar is the true MVP!

Review №69

The owner did a nice job in expanding a little neighborhood dive into a gastro pub. Tried the classic Gyro with fries and a salad. The gyro was a well prepared standard sandwich, no surprises, the fries were perfect and the salad was fresh and creative. A nice little place in the very competitive Lakewood food scene. Would go back.

Phenomenal treatment!!!My friend and I came in, we were given gyro samples and shots because we had, had a bad experience at Barrio. The first thing I noticed was when we walked in and they said Please feel free to sit anywhere youd like! That was very pleasant!!The fact that the staff did everything they could to ensure we had a positive experience shined through!!!Highly recommended!

First visit. Cool place, mostly a young crowd (we were the old ones). Had the filet kabob, nightmare sandwich & garlic fries. Kabob & sandwich were really tasty...fries were luke warm & soggy, not worth the extra cost for garlic. Service & pricing were decent.

Decent drinks and bar food, gyro I havent had personally. The layout in the bar is different, we sat on a lower level indoors but had to turn on our own lights that werent plugged in to see each other in the space. Stayed for a while and enjoyed the area, Had a great time here last St Patricks day!
