Mykenos Mediterranean Grill

Mykenos Mediterranean Grill, nestled at 227105 Rib Mountain Dr in Wausau, WI, is a delightful culinary gem where authentic Mediterranean and American flavors come together in a warm family-friendly setting. Specializing in a broad spectrum of Mediterranean favorites—from succulent gyros and kabobs to flavorful falafel and shawarma—this restaurant offers an inviting journey into Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine that is both comforting and exciting.

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere that instantly feels like sitting at a longtime friend’s table. The welcoming smiles of the owners, especially Ahaa, create a genuine warmth that complements the rich aromas wafting from the kitchen. It’s this personal touch, paired with thoughtfully prepared dishes, that keeps patrons coming back time and again.

The menu is a delicious tapestry of bold, fresh flavors. The Gyro Melt Plate stands out with tender strips of gyro meat, sautéed green peppers and onions, all smothered in a melted three-cheese blend that oozes comfort in every bite. Served alongside homemade Tzatziki—a creamy blend of Greek yogurt, cucumber, and herbs—the dish is a perfect balance of savory and refreshing. For those who crave the classics, the Gyros Plate with Fries offers juicy, well-seasoned meat piled high inside warm pita bread, paired with crisp golden fries. The falafel lovers will find delight in the Falafel Sandwich Plate—crispy, flavorful patties with the earthy bite of chickpeas harmonized with the cool richness of hummus.

Kabob enthusiasts are equally well served here. The Lamb Kabob Plate features three skewers of tender lamb cooked to perfection, complemented by grilled vegetables, warm pita bread, and a choice of Greek salad, French fries, or rice. The lamb’s juicy texture and charred edges melt effortlessly in your mouth, while the salad adds a refreshing crunch and zesty notes. Equally enticing are the Beef Kabob and Chicken Kabob Plates, each showcasing rich Mediterranean spices and fresh ingredients.

No Mediterranean meal is complete without the beloved desserts, and Mykenos delivers wonderfully with its flaky, nutty Baklava. According to customers, the baklava’s delicate phyllo dough layers and perfectly balanced sweetness create an irresistible finale to any meal.

What truly sets Mykenos apart is the heartfelt experience behind the food. A recent visitor, Brook J, admits they “slept on this restaurant for too long” but were blown away by the generous portions and authentic flavors.
