    Pastrami sandwich with fries
    Angela B.

    This place gets a lot of bad reviews and I honestly do not know why. The food comes out hot and fresh and the staff are friendly. The establishment is not dirty and I've never had a bad meal. This is a burger joint that also serves gyros and really good salads. I personally love the fact that it comes with hot pita bread. Today came here with my co-workers and we were in and out in under an hour, that's with ordering, eating, talking, getting refills and just enjoying our time! I will be back because this place is a local spot and serves great food!

    It seems like many of the reviewers have been critical because of the service. I haven't had any issues ordering. I haven't tried calling in an order since this isn't too far from me and it seems just easier to stop in and order in person. The restaurant itself seems ok, the times I've been in the evening, it's pretty clean. The food is typical to what you can get at one of these burger places, but really I'm here for their specials. The pricing they have for the family meals/packs can't be beat! I'm sure Boy's and Mr. Pete's are slightly higher quality, and you get more in volume, but for a quick cheap meal it's not bad. I guess you do get what you pay for, but I'll be back for a quick cheap meal.

    We ate inside and it was super hot. There isn't that much room, it's a small area. The cashier was nice. The food was delicious. I've only ever door dashed or did drive thru since I was new to the area but decided to dine in. Probably won't do that again when it's hot. We absolutely loved the food and will definitely be coming by again.

    Mystery lid found in my salad.. not the same size as the ranch dressing

    Don't order the gyro plate $15.99. I had the saddest surprise when I opened the box.. 3 1/2 thin slices of gyro meat, soggy fries, hard pita bread.. like so hard it's impossible to eat. I thought maybe the salad would be ok.. no. I found a plastic lid in my salad and it had some kind of gooey substance in it. I thought at first I dropped the ranch lid in there. It's not even the same size lid as the ranch sauce!! I'm gonna throw it all away I used to love this place but I'm so disappointed and it wasn't even busy when I came today after 2pm. I wish I could recommend but I cannot. Maybe it's my fault for ordering Greek food but it is on the menu.. Quality has gone down and prices have gone up.

I had no expectations for this place, just walked in because Starbucks was closed and it was like a 50's themed diner/antique shop inside. The place was clean and fully staffed and there was a drive-thru. I ordered their sausage and egg breakfast sandwich on sour dough and needed the code to the restroom or the key and was on my way. Later in the day I got hungry and opened up the sandwich and it was perfect. It tasted like a good home made breakfast sandwich and looked amazing and tasted fresh. I got a photo of the cross section of the sandwich and it was immaculate. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a very good burger or meal on the go that's not a chain and it's actually better than a chain.
