Costas Restaurant

Great lunch option in U District. Prices were good for the area. Got the Bacon Burger and Cheeseburger, both with fries. Went midday on a Wednesday, was slow but food came out quick and was delicious. Windows were open, so a beautiful breeze came in. The music was relaxing, and the server was very kind. A pleasant restaurant, will happily go again.

I really like Costas. As a student back in the early 00’s I would come here. I think there was a little market or deli next store. What’s interesting about Costas is that it looks like it never got a refresh. It’s like being back in time and I love this. The brunch is my go to and it gives me Greek American vibes. I really enjoy the souvlaki. It’s cooked well and I feel like I’m at someone home who’s cooking me brunch. The price point is adjusted for inflation and service has always been great. It’s a spot in which you hear professors and students talking about physics, or college kids figuring out how to split a check. The bathroom is old and it reminds me of 80’s/90’s bathrooms. I really like this because it’s not fancy. Ifs slight grimy but it has character and it’s clean. I like

Good food, but I'm not convinced about the value. I was anticipating the prices that are currently displayed on singleplatform, but I should have checked their website itself. Singleplatform has appetizers in the $6-$9 range and it's really $10-12, so it must be really outdated or a different portion size. The $11.95 chicken souvlaki was one skewer with 4 bite-sized pieces of chicken + veg with some tomato salad and maybe 3-4oz tzatziki. My special ($16.95) was tasty, but again, I'm not sure the portion size was worth this. My friend's sandwich, the San Francisco Melt ($17.95) at least had a portion size that was filling. $32 for the special and the souvlaki and I was only kind of full 🤷‍♀️ Very nice and attentive server (who was also serving a table of 10 college guys) Nice ambience, espe

Dropped in here unplanned. So happy we did! The restaurant was empty at around 4P on a weekday. All the food was fresh and tasted amazing. The seasoning was superb like on the Greek potatoes, and I had lots of meat on the gyro plate. The burger in the pic was ordered no cheese or mayo and it was cooked perfectly and surprisingly lean yet juicy. I must make sure to mention that the tsaziki sauce was well seasoned and the cheese on the gyro plate was plentiful as you can see. I got the beef soup instead of the salad and was very pleased as it was hearty and homemade. I drank the broth when it was done, of course I had to salt it but I like oversalting food. The baklava was too cinnamon for us and I didn't picture it even though it was perfectly flaky. That was probably just a palate preferen

Just had lunch at Cosmo’s in the U District. It was pretty busy, but we got seated fairly quickly. The Bacon Burger was really good – definitely a solid choice. I thought the prices were a little high for what you get, though. The portion sizes felt a little small for the price. The place was really bright and airy with all the plants, which was a nice change. Maybe a little more variety in the side dishes would be good!
