Had a chicken skewer and a gyro platter. Both very good. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Good spot for a quick lunch or take away.
The chicken and pork kabobs were well seasoned and tender. My family and I placed a together order. It was ready within the time suggested. The drive through experience was convenient and the drive through attendant friendly and helpful. I would definitely visit again.
Food was good, surprised there isn't an olive or hummus to be seen in a Greek Restaurant. I had the gyro platter with cumber sauce and half a pita. I opted for a double side salad instead of fries or rice. No wait to order, reasonable prices, quick service, and a generally clean restaurant. Very casual. Looks like dining room can easily accommodate large groups. Wide variety of menu items from pizza, subs, Italian, and Greek. I'd return for a quick lunch.
THIS FOOD IS SO BUSSIN, I have never tasted something so good! I love the super subs! AMAZING I come here everyday and I'm happy to know I will never be disappointed when I leave! I love there food so much!
we ate supper here a few days ago. We had the homemade Lasagna and Greek Salad. That is our "usual faire" here & it's ALWAYS top notch. Bottom-less drinks and fresh made bread too. Service was great and the owner stopped over to check in on our drinks and talked with us. Not unusual for him to do so... We have eaten here many times over the past year or so and everything that we had ordered is well prepared, fresh and I am a Greek salad affectianato- TRUST ME ITS GREAT! Large , open air dining room with lots of windows and it's CLEAN! Reasonably priced and open relatively late. Highly recommend in every regard.
