“Fast service, huge portions, nice and honest staff, and good food. I liked the fact that the chef left the seasoning to me. Very pleasant experience overall.”
“Just stopped in for breakfast and was met by a lovely woman (wish I got her name). She treated us like family. The restaurant was really nice like a good old fashioned diner with a Greek feel. The portions are enormous so come hungry. Everyone eating there looked very happy and enjoying the good food and friendly staff. Definitely coming back again!!”
“The staff is so friendly and helpful! They were very sweet to my daughter, and gave her extra attention, which was so nice despite how busy they were. The menu is expansive and the food is absolutely delicious! This is definitely our family’s new go-to weekend spot!”
“Literally the best traditional diner in the area. At least once a month. Today they made me a breakfast sandwich. It’s amazing. Love the staff.”
“This became our favorite breakfast place in our very first visit. Very friendly staff, neighborhood diner feeling and really good food. Loved the omelette, gyro and coffee. Service was quick. Also met with the wonderful owner & the nephew who have been running the place for 20 years. Definitely recommended.”
“We went here on a whim after visiting the dentist and were pleasantly surprised by both the atmosphere and the service. The food was great also. It’s basically a diner, but the staff made us feel at home and I really liked the decor. This will now be our go-to place for after-dentist visits.”
“Hubs and I have been here twice. Hidden gem right on the corner of Legacy and Coit. Family-friendly environment and lots of great options to suit a hungry person.”
“Love this place. My fiancé and I were visiting a wedding venue nearby and stopped for lunch. The food was AMAZING. Definitely coming back.”
“So pleased I found this spot, thanks to other Google Reviewers, as it was a perfect spot to grab breakfast on an out-of-town workday. All the breakfast was delicious; however, the potatoes were incredible!!! Order extra, simply to save you time, because you'll want more.”
“Went during lunch time, a few people inside was greeted, seated, and helped quickly. Service was quick and was attentive. Food was good and service was great.”
“This place is awesome. The waitress is very attentive. Food is delicious and plenty. What else can you ask? 🙂”
“The Mexican and the Spanish omelettes with tortillas were delicious. Staff is attentive and juggling 100 things at once. Food came out quick.”
