    Sangrias and a casamigo shot
    Rachel H.

    Was here for a bday get together on a Saturday. Pretty large restaurant/bar with a nice menu of food and cocktails. If you're looking to have a nice size gathering where there are drinks, food and TVs, this is your place. Ordered the Knockoit shrimp and they were good. Also ordered a Sangria and it was good as well. Prices were fair and comparable to other restaurant/bars. It started to pick up because of the NCAA games that were on so service was a bit slow hence the reason for the star reduction.

    This is a really cozy well managed tavern. Our server Heather was excellent. She made good suggestions and didn't rush us. Everything came out in a timely manner and was flavorful. I appreciated the gluten friendly menu which is one of the reasons we chose this restaurant. The only small pet-peeve is that there are no prices on the drinks or specials menu. We were kind of surprised at the $24 price of the "special" burger so it is a good thing it was so good.

    My family comes here once a year right before we do the Illumination lights, and we come in hot with a group of around 20 because we keep growing every year! Ambiance and Service is fantastic. Wide open open space with many seating options. It's more of a dining room sitting area when you first walk in. Have couches/ tables behind the fireplace, which are a nice relaxing spit to have a beer, some appetizers, and watch the games on all the flat screens on the wall. They also have a bar area to sit in, and a back room used more for big parties. Honestly, the place is a great spot for all. The only thing holding them back is the food. If they can bring the flavors up a bit , it would be a 5 star all around. The top 3 things that my family always get are the Chicken Pot pie, the huge pretzel, and the philly.

    Great place with great food. The service was great and the restaurant had a lot of booths which were very big. The portions are huge as you can see so you get a lot of food for the money. The limited time Turkey Reuben was Awesome and I loved the fact it didn't have sauerkraut as that is what I don't like. They had a sweet coleslaw instead which made the sandwich phenomenal. Strongly recommend!

    Went with my bestie and the food was delicious! Staff was friendly. I ordered the shrimp po-boy and sweet potato hush puppies & strawberry lemonade. Bathroom very clean.

    Cuban sandwich and fries
    Eric L.

    Ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries. The picture in the menu looked a lot better than what served. What a sad presentation when my food arrived, and to top it off, the food was cold. Not my best experience but the my bartender/ server was extremely friendly and was working her tail off to make everyone enjoy their evening.

    This huge tavern had a roaring warm fireplace and brick appointments and lots of tvs. The restaurant was clean with friendly staff. I was with a group of 16 and we didn't have to wait long. The staff pushed some tables together and we were seated. I noticed my group enjoyed the beer. One person ordered a huge pretzel which was good for photos. I ordered a savory chicken pot pie which was delicious with rosemary in an iron clad pan. I couldn't finish it because there was so much food. I got a styrofoam container. The staff didn't wear masks. I hope that the restaurant considers more environmental containers and serving filtered water.

    First time here, interesting layout. Food was great, service was very sub-par. Our water filled once, our server never came around to grab our dirty plates after our apps. Just sat at edge of table entire time. Honestly, place wasn't that busy. Our server was very dull, never introduced herself. Just not friendly. I also left my hat in our booth. Called immediatley when I arrived home. Manager explained nobody turned anything in. I called the following day and same Manager said nothing was turned in. (I get it, I lost it) however, I asked if they could see the camera..I had the receipt for our table location and time we left so it would be easily accesible to view. The Manager related that their systems were down and didn't have access to cameras. Find it hard to believe/very concerning their cameras don't work. Either way, lost a nice hat here and definitley not getting it back.

    Yummers!

    Service and food were ok. But I thought the food was overpriced. Plenty of open tables on a July 4th evening.

    Do you allow dogs inside?

    No they can sit on the patio and depending on the server they are dog friendly.

    Bottom Line: Family run, good food, pleasant experience, overall decent value…read more First time here. This Greek family-run diner/restaurant is not much to look at from the outside. You could drive right by thinking it was a vacant building except for all the cars in the lot. The notion of vacant building is dispelled immediately upon entry. The place is busy, loud, vibrant with customers clearly enjoying the food and experience. The interior is decorated simply, with muted colors, is well lit, and clean. There are a lot of hard surfaces which makes the ambient noise level fairly high; however, it did not detract from the experience (but just be advised in case you feel this is bothersome). We were greeted warmly and though the place was packed, we were seated quickly. Despite the diner-like vibe, there is no counter, just tables and booths. Our server was prompt, very pleasant, and efficient. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The food: Large portions, well prepared, warm, savory, satisfying. The loaded Cheers omelette, with hash browns and pancakes, was more food than I could enjoy in one sitting so I have leftovers for tomorrow. Prices are in line with more reasonably priced independent eateries. A two-egg, hash browns, pancake combo is $14. This place will be an option in the future.
