The staff was nice and accommodating upon arrival. Our order came out in a timely manner. My wifes sourdough toast was burnt to oblivion. The kitchen put the two burnt together so it wasnt noticed instantly. They replaced it at no extra charge but why even send it out ?

You ever eat someplace and nothing was bad but nothing was good either? Staff was nice, restaurant was clean, service was fast enough. We both ordered skillets which were not served in skillets, just on plates. They tasted ok if not under seasoned, side biscuit was dry. Bloody Mary was pretty tasty though! Had a nice salt and pepper rim which I rarely see. The food was $8 per meal so the prices were good. We’ve had a few things here for both lunch and dinner and there are simply better options for both elsewhere.

This is the best meal out my family and I have had in quite a while. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and was SO delicious. We will be coming back here and encouraging friends to go as well.

Just there today for lunch. 7 of us. Place wasn’t real busy. First off, it took forever to get drinks. I can live with that. It happens. Then our food came out but not all of it. Probably 15 more minutes before the food came to the rest of our group. Not cool. We went to lunch together so we can eat together. All but the very last food brought out was ice cold. I mean not even warm. Cold pulled pork, cold fries, cold mashed potatoes, etc. While the flavors were ok, cold food just doesn’t work. Then we get ready to leave and we are on three different checks. They brought two and lost one. We were told it couldn’t be reprinted because the drawer would come up short and our server just told them how much it was. WHAT?!? You can’t reprint a bill? Things get misplaced. I get it but can’t reprint it? We asked if a manager could help with the reprint and we were told there was no manager there. None of us are going back there but glad to see that others have had good experiences there. Off day maybe? Who knows?

The service was great and food delicious! We had the $20 special, an appetizer with two entrees and dessert. Toasted ravioli was yummy with an awesome homemade tomato sauce that I wanted to lick the bowl, reminded me of viviano sauce. Entrees were both the fried pork chops which were HUGE and delicious. Cooked perfectly with great crispy crust. Baked potatoes were great. Desserts were German chocolate and carrot cake which we brought home since we were stuffed. They made a great late night snack.

Waiter was great but the food is flavorless. I mean that literally. Ordered appetizer sampler, nothing. Wings were nothing. We didn’t finish anything we ordered. Cheesecake I brought home. No flavor at all. Red velvet cake, nothing. It’s supposed to be a Greek restaurant or so I thought. Nothing greek on the menu. Go to Denny’s or IHOP or Sonic if you want food with flavor..any flavor at all. No salt on fries. Worse than hospital food for sure and I have never written a negative review.

The service was great!!! Bernadette (sp) is awesome!!! We did have an issue with the food, though. We sat there for almost 20 mins after we ordered before we even got our salads. Then not even 3 mins after the arival of our salads, we got our steaks. So by the time we actually finished eating our salads, our steaks we cold. We have been there seveal times and never had an issue with our food. We asked to speak to a manager, but was informed that there was no manager there. So then we asked who was in charge then, and was told that the ower was there, but that he was cooking. We asked to speak to him and was told that he doesnt come out and talk to customers when there is a problem. That already is bad business.

Love their breakfasts. But went for Valentines dinner and was disappointed. They were out of baked potatoes at 6:30pm. The salad and steak were great, however.

No flavor in the food and the fries way over cooked and The biscuits and gravy was not good. Biscuits were cold and hard and hardly any meat in the gravy. Won’t be back.

Good breakfast! Same menu as Olympika, but with a new name to better reflect the comfort food breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods offered. There is still gyro meat available for breakfast and lunch. The same American fried potatoes with onions, fried eggs, toast, biscuits, gravey, and pancakes.
