    This is my very favorite restaurant. I love the rack of lamb; it tastes amazing and is always seasoned perfectly! We love the owner, George. He makes everyone feel like family. Live Greek music by a very talented musician on the weekends, and Iโ€™ve had the pleasure of hearing George sing. Such a wonderful, fun and authentic restaurant in Battle Ground!

    Fabulous experience! Our first time there. Had the Lamb Gyros - amazing! Coming back for one of the steaks. Wonderfully casual atmosphere and friendly service. The kind of place where all the customers are giving food suggestions! Love the community feel!

    Probably the best kept secret in Clark County. Finding real quality food in the Battle Ground area is next to impossible. Molon Lave's Greek restaurant is as close to the perfect dining experience I have been able to locate. The food quality is excellent, the flavors are delightful and the presence of George, the owner, creates the ideal environment. Make sure you try one of his bottles of red Greek wine to go with your meal. Reservations are recommended. Ask about his special days when he fires up the outdoor spit with locally grown lamb. George is my hero, I love the guy.

    Hidden Gem in Battle Ground! Absolutely wonderful experience, traditional in every aspect, customers are welcomed as family, food is fabulous the atmosphere can be relaxing or festive depending on celebrations, we have experienced live Greek music and traditional plate breaking for birthdays not to mention, no meal is complete till you receive a shot of Ouzo and a OPA!! Keep in mind not to be in a hurry, itโ€™s the European way to enjoy the dining experience! Enjoy!!

    Amazing food! They have recently reopened after the passing of George the owner, but the staff assured us that the son is keeping everything just as his father had done. The rack of lamb was amazing as was the Avgolemono. (Greek lemon soup) Live music started about 6pm Saturday night! Simply a great find in Battle ground!

    It was 1hr to close when we arrived and the staff was so sweet. For the appetizer we got the dip platter. Very good bread & dips. My 4yo daughter wasnโ€™t wanting food when we ordered so the waitress suggested gyro meat & orzo pasta for her and she ended up loving it! 6yo got the Pastistio and she loved that as well. I got the lamb leg, my husband got the pork chop. Both meats were so tasty & tender. We especially liked the lamb. We would recommend ordering the potatoes over the fries, if you donโ€™t like strong flavors you may not like the potatoes! But we loved them. Next time I want to try the Moussaka & the flame cheese appetizer!

    This is a great little authentic Greek restaurant! We had the privilege of having George, the owner, as our chef and waiter. The lemon garlic potatoes were delicious and the greek salad is perfect. The lamb chops were incredible. I myself had a lamb gyro plate and it was loaded with lamb. This is definitely a favorite!!

    We have been to the George's restaurant several times. Decided to have our party catered this weekend...great choice and a definitely a winner with our friends! Gyros (lamb and chicken) and salad were served for 28 guests. Great food and service. Glad we have it in Battle Ground.

    I'll bet this place is awesome in summer but it's cold in winter!! Rather dull atmosphere...greek wine is terrific...food was OK. Wanted rack of lamb got chops...but they were tasty... tib eye steak was not a good cut of meat..disappointing...will try again next summer

    One of my go-to places. Go when you want to slow down and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. They are serving real Greek food, cooked to perfection. I almost always order 1/2 rack of lamb. I grew up eating lamb and too often restaurants do it poorly. Here they do it right, it is the best Iโ€™ve ever had. The owner is the second generation to own/operate Molon Lave and he is doing a good job carrying on the traditions.

    Great quality and price, the sides could be a little more generous. Nice atmosphere with the Friday live music. The lamb was wonderful. The service started a little rough (inexperienced), but improved through the evening. A very nice evening out restaurant. I'll be back.

    Delicious food, & lovely atmosphere. It was a little pricey for the portion size. I had a nice Mother's Day dinner with my boys.

    We had such a fun and delicious dinner at George's Molon Lave! The flaming cheese appetizer was amazing. The moussaka was great! There was live music, and George is so friendly. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try!

    Cozy place with delicious food! After we ate the owner/chef came and talked to us, he was very friendly. I am from out of town but will definitely be back when I come through again!

    Absolutely delicious food. Try the lamb! Live music on a Friday was fun. Owner is so friendly and takes time to visit with everyone. Will definitely be back!

    I totally enjoy George's Molon Lave. The hospitality and the care by the owner is really the aspect that separates George's from the rest of the crowd . George has been there to greet and mingle with customers both times I was there. The passion for great customer care and the food he serves comes through whenever I've spoken with him. There is Greek basouki music on the TV which just adds to the ambiance. Oh...and the food is excellent. My favorite is the lamb shank ( unfortunately not quite ready last time I came) which is slow cooked in a tomato ๐Ÿ… based sauce. The lamb just falls of the bone and melts in your mouth. George has the benefit of his capable son , helping in the kitchen preparing his wonderful dishes. The restaurant is small and typically fills up at around 6 on the weekends. Handicap โ™ฟ๏ธ doable but spaces are a bit tight in this smaller space. Parking is plentiful in this complex where the restis located although you may have to walk a bit from your parking spot. Calling the restaurant was the only frustration I had...I tried to call several times with either a disconnect or busy signal....grrr. Prices are upper middle range...I spent about $50.00 for 2 with no alcohol. I think I got good value for money spent. Final take....GO Greek , GO George's. OPA

    I sent some time in Greece a few years ago. This restaurant brought me back to Greece. I smiled the entire time we were there. Live music, the owner sang, and customers danced. Just thinking about last night still makes me smile. The food is awesome. Best Musaka I've had. My kids loved the food as well. We are definitely coming back. It is a good idea to make a reservation. The places is small and very busy.

    Honestly, probably one of the worst meals I have ever had. The pita bread tastes like it was bought at the store as there is no way it is baked there. It not even warm. The hummus had the consistency of pudding and was very bland. The Briami tasted like a jar of spaghetti sauce that had a bunch of vegetables thrown in it and my wife's gyro was terrible as well To make the dining experience even worse, the music was so loud you could not hear anyone talk. The place is short staffed and it took 45 min to get our bill. I mean seriously, I cannot figure out why this place is so highly rated as it was literally some of the worst food I've ever had.

    This restaurant is a whole experience to enjoy, the atmosphere is so lively and you immediately feel at home. The owner is such a joyful person and always makes you feel special. The food is so fresh and crafted to amaze your taste buds.

    You know, I love this place! The owner is very charismatic and friendly and visits with everyone; the outdoor seating is great; the food is amazing. Okay so why not five stars? Infrequently, the oven doesnโ€™t work, the ordering process takes longer than it should, and what you ordered isnโ€™t what you get. But Iโ€™ll tell you: if you go and are patient, what youโ€™ll get is some really great food, good company, and a splendid evening noshing on hummus, pita bread, and yummy saganaki.
