    I've been wanting to try this place for months, and I'm happy I finally went with a friend. We each ordered similar dishes, one being chicken and one pork. I was really happy with the plate that was provided, especially the tzsaski sauce. Food is served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils. You order at the front of the restaurant (no sit-down service), and drinks are self-serve. Beer is also available for purchase. The inside was unique and quaint, and quite frankly, I'm surprised there weren't more people there. Will probably be going back.

    Chicken Kabob Platter with Salad
    Charlie B.

    I enjoyed the hummus and chicken kabob platter I had on my last visit. The place had a kind of old school / casual dive bar feel (because they do have a dive-ish bar inside) and I dig that. I think I will probably hang out here again soon. They have a large menu of Greek specialties. I will probably try their Gyro on my next visit... I had a salad on the side which tasted fresh and the pita served with my hummus was served warm. Pretty Nice! One small caveat - they do close kind of early. on weekdays I came in at 8:09 on a Tuesday and the fellow at the counter said, ¨We close at 8:30 tonight" (the front door sign says 8:45 - which is still sort of a strange closing time - on a weekday near a college (?) ECU - East Carolina University...). So, I scarfed down my food (quite tasty) and left by 8:32. I counted four other tables still eating when I left - so I don´t think I was an imposition. I will say - if this place was open til 10:00 on weekdays I would be there very often. I will be back. I liked the food and I also like the ¨dated¨ style of the interior.

    Athenian grilled cheese, takeout

    Decided to give this place a go on my lunch break to support local. I got the chicken kabob sandwich and Athenian grilled cheese. Both were very good. I'd get either or both again, though you'd likely need 2 items as I did to satisfy the appetite of an active adult. I did wait almost 45 minutes for my order. I understand being busy at lunch but that seemed unnecessary. Sanitation score was also below what I'm normally comfortable with. Surely it'll be back up soon...

    Lots of vegetarian options and great service! The spanakopita was delicious and the falafel was some of the best I've had!

    I went here for a business dinner. I'm a foodie, and to be honest, when I looked at the menu, I…read morewasn't sure what to expect because it looked like an unfocused/random selection of dishes. However, I'm glad to say my instincts were completely wrong on this one. My business colleagues told me all the ingredients are locally sourced, and the based of taking diner food and making it a little more modern (without the pretentiousness). The space matches the concept - modern diner. I tried the following: - Daily Bread: Very good. Nothing like freshly bread and butter. - Spaetzle Mac & Cheese: Excellent. I've had spaetzle and and I've had mac & cheese, and this was as good as interpretation of mac & cheese I've ever had. A lot of my colleagues thought this was the most memorable dish of the night. - Pickled Things: Good. I always like trying new things, and pickled blueberries and fried saltines were new to me. Really nice surprises. - Daily NC Catch (Trout): Very good. Trout was just as perfect as can be with a nice crispy sear on the skin, and meat was still tender. The risotto underneath was good, but a bit over-seasoned. Service was incredible. The server was interactive, fun, attentive and doing a masterful job of single-handedly managing a table of over 12 people, which is never easy. Overall, a great meal. Really great food with service that made us feel like restaurant regulars. If I happen to visit Greenville NC again, I would definitely make sure to return.

We started with 1/2 dozen oysters (delicious) and an order of Pickled Things (really large enough for 4). For entrees we had the steak special (perfectly cooked but inexplicably didn't include any accompanying sides) and the fish special that included bouillabaisse in the description but was really a bed of flavored rice (good but a little too much vinegar). Overall tasty food with friendly staff, but I'm not sure I'd seek it out.

From the parts I got to see inside was small table seating around the bar. We got lucky to sit in at the outdoor covered patio seating which was great minus perhaps some outdoor heaters to warm it up a bit. Service was good overall. Servers were fun and helpful. Service a bit slow on our drink refills but the food running and table bussing was fast. Food was great, wished I had taken pics to share. Menu consisted of a good selection of apps, sandwiches, burgers and sides. Everything we tried was great. Chicken nachos were awesome, wish they had been a bit bigger but the topping portions was perfect and the taste amazing. The Cuban and fried pork chop sandwiches were again great and the spicy sweet potato fries were so good. Potion sizes were good and the food tasty. The nachos and spicy sweet potato fries were my faves. While probably not the place for young families, this was a hidden gem and fantastic find. Not really for those in wheelchairs as it is tight getting through the bar area, but there was a small ramp I recall. Bathrooms could use some work, about what you'd expect at your local dive bar but only a single stall and could be cleaner. Highly recommend this place.

They make them all in house. I've never added vinegar to my meat before and I'm hooked. They have this Alabama white sauce that you have to ask for and that was done so well. All the sauces were tasty. I tried their sweet tea and I'm very particular about sweetness with drinks but I thoroughly enjoyed the balance in their tea. The seasonal treat is strawberry shortcake so I ordered that and there was so much balance in their flavor. I'm partial to strawberry shortcake because it was what I often shared with my late Grandpa. I was so impressed with how good this was and it definitely added nostalgia to the experience. The service here was phenomenal and the place has so much memorabilia honoring service members. Very open and welcoming space. Lots to take in, but not overwhelming. I'm definitely glad we stopped in. 10/10 recommend if you're in the area.

The Mac and cheese and the cornbread were my favorite sides. This bbq is the best in the area. My favorite sauce is the Memphis Belle which is the most comparable to a typical store bought bbq sauce (thicker not vinegar based). It wasn't busy when we went but I have heard it gets busy on the weekends! The restaurant is casual and has plenty of seating!

It just feels stagnant and uninspired. Nothing new, nothing seasonal, nothing exciting. If you've been once, you've basically seen it all. The food itself was bland and boring. Dishes lacked seasoning and creativity, and nothing stood out as memorable. For the prices they charge, you expect at least some depth of flavor, but everything felt flat. Service was also slow, even though it wasn't especially busy. We waited far too long for basic things, and the staff didn't seem particularly attentive or professional. There was a noticeable lack of urgency and overall polish. Overall, it feels like a place that hasn't evolved in years -- same menu, same energy, same issues. Unfortunately, it just doesn't live up to expectations.

There weren't many people inside the bar for a Sunday lunch, but it looked like it could be a pretty happening place in the evenings when I'd wanna grab a mixed drink.
