Loudoun’s second Big Greek Cafe is open for business

The Big Greek Cafe fast casual restaurant brand has opened the doors on its second Loudoun County location. The latest outlet is in Sterling.

Maryland-based Big Greek Cafe made a quick move into the Northern Virginia market by buying up all four stores of the local Souvlaki Bar chain.

Over the past two months, they have been transitioning them into Big Greek Cafes.

The first Loudoun location opened in Leesburg a couple of weeks back, and now the Sterling location officially opened Wednesday.

The Burn stopped by Thursday and they were still putting some finishing touches on the space located in the Shoppes at Potomac Corner retail center. That’s just off Route 7 at Potomac View Road.

We tried a traditional beef and lamb gyro — which came topped with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce — and was accompanied by a wedge of feta cheese and a peperoncino.

Besides Leesburg, the brand — which has nine locations in Maryland — has already opened a NoVa location in Alexandria.

The remaining SouvlakiBar-to-Big Greek Cafe location is in Oakton and should open in the next few weeks.
