The food is really good and prices are competitive. Not a typical 50s diner but more of your typical Chicago style Vienna Beef/Greek fast food spot with a 50s theme (that could use a little updating).

Cute place with delicious food! I love the Greek chicken pita. So yummy. They also have wonderful ice cream and a 60’s vibe which is so fun!

Horrible Customer Service! They had a sign in the window for a 1/4 Cheeseburger meal for 6.45. However, when I ordered it they tried to charge me over a $1 more stating the price has gone up and pointed to the sign inside the store. I stated that’s not what your sign says outside. That’s when the manager got involved and stated they cant figure out how to remove the sign and would not honor the price.

Stopped in for a beef and tamale. The tamale was microwaved and the beef was mediocre. I asked for it dipped and, like many places, it wasn’t. They gave me a skimpy side of jous instead. Jous was tasty though. Cool retro vibe inside and friendly staff. Fair prices. Would try other things but do not recommend going for a beef.

The restaurant is clean, organized and well designed. I ordered a gyro combo. It was delicious and quality however the price was a little higher than normal. The staff could be more friendly. The dining area is large. Overall, I recommend it.

I saw the reviews and I was craving gyros so I came here on my lunch break. When I walked in, two people behind the counter saw me. I know they saw me because they proceeded to look for for about 30 seconds before walking away. The person behind the register also saw me and looked annoyed there I was there. There was only one table of customers when I got there. He also did not say a word. Not being acknowledged when you’re standing right in front of someone is uncomfortable and I ended up leaving instead of ordering. What a shame.

Over $30 for an Italian Beef, Cheese Fry, Drink Cup, Chicago Dog, and an order of Spanikopita (Spinich Pie). There is also an Ice Cream counter but we didn’t order any.

There were thirty two different types of ice cream in the freezer case. Most of the ice cream bins were almost empty from all of the customers who came in over the weekend. I gave this place four stars for the Homer’s peach ice cream. The sugar cone was also really good.

The food is consistently excellent and the staff is eager to please. The menu covers a wide range of items from soup and salads to hot dogs and burgers not to mention the best ice cream in town. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are large. I encourage everyone to come in and support and small, locally owned restaurant.
