Two Greeks Grill officially opened its doors at 1903 N. Loop 1604 East on September 13, 2026. Founders Jerry Kouroumousis and Nick Zaimis established the new eatery within a space previously occupied by Genghis Grill.

The new restaurant operates with daily prep starting at 7 a.m. and public service beginning at 11 a.m. Closing times are set for 8 p.m. on Sunday, 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Market Landscape
The entry of Two Greeks Grill follows the closure of Grandma's Greek Taste, which ceased operations after defaulting on rent payments. This transition marks a shift in the North San Antonio dining sector as new operators take over spaces vacated by national chains and distressed local entities.
Operators in the restaurant sector should monitor the competitive dynamics in North San Antonio as new concepts attempt to fill vacancies left by recent departures. Focus on tracking renovation costs and timing, as the months-long gut-and-remodel process utilized here reflects the capital investment required to reposition secondary real estate.
The takeaway
The successful debut of this grill highlights the importance of thorough space repurposing when launching in a competitive local market. Operators should watch the operating hours and demand levels of this location to gauge the current appetite for Mediterranean cuisine in the area.
