    From the street really don't get a good view of the place, stopped in and gave it a try, was surprised at the menu, steaks, pizza, gyros, pasta, had the steak fajitas for two, food was fantastic, portions were big, service was great, prices were very reasonable, $6.95 for fajitas, took some home, kitchen was busy and all the food going by looked and smelled great, will try the shrimp italiano next time, drinks were very reasonable also, great little hidden gem in the neighborhood

    I've gone here twice now ... out of my way ... JUST to have the pizza!!!! I order the diced ham with extra pineapple, thin crust. Freaking amazing. Very few places have the diced ham (I can't stand Canadian bacon) ... the sauce is just the right amount of tomato-ey and sweet, and the pizza is cooked perfectly. Will definitely frequent here often!

    When they offer the 7.35 daily specials it really isn't. What they do is charge you a dollar or extra more for the food. Probably won't be back. Isn't the same and is good as it once was before. Just you're typical greasy bar food.

    Fun roadside local bar with more offerings for food than I thought it would be. Super cheap too! Win win in my book.

  • 5/5 Momir M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a neighborhood bar and restaurant where the owner and his family actually visit with their patrons. The food is always consistently good and the service friendly. Prices are very fair. I enjoy their gyros, but all of the burgers and appetizers are nicely prepared as well.

    We like a lot eating out. Yesterday we arrived in this fine place which we didn’t know before. We spent a delightful evening there with exceptional cooking and a courteous crew and a distinguished cook. We added this restaurant in our phone list and we will no doubt visit again soon. We highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Ernesto D. 3 years ago on Google
    two days ago was our first time we came to that fine restaurant. But It is obviously not the last time. We enjoyed the evening very much with the efficient service, with the superb meal and wine and with the honest pay. We will surely go back there in a short time.

  • 5/5 William H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere. George has done a great job with updating recently. Google said it wasn't open for dine-in but they are and there pizza is the best. Love the sauce. Have in house gaming as well if that is your thing.

  • 4/5 Gilbert S. 3 years ago on Google
    The Saganaki was fire.......literally. It was delicious and the pieces of hot pita made it that much better. The wings were cooked to perfection. I will be visiting again.

  • 3/5 Brenda B. 4 years ago on Google
    We called to place a order and he had to repeat himself 3times. And after we hung up it was the lady calling back she still didn't get the order so he had to tell her again.and he was clear on the phone I don't think she wrote it down so that's why I give rookies a 3 they didn't act professional or like they liked their job

  • 2/5 Tyler E. 4 years ago on Google
    Our orders took forever to come out, they were not served at the same time, and one of them was wrong. The appetizer came out after one of the main courses and was crummy to boot. My wings came out last but, of course, the order was wrong. At least the rest of the food was edible.
