This restaurant is family owned for a few decades and is one that survived the pandemic because of the loyalty of their patrons. This place has everything you need from a quick bite to a full blown multi course meal. If there is something special desired the owners will go out of their way to accommodate even if not on the menu. As for the staff, this restaurant has provided more work for the local high school population than any other. The turnover is minimal as most have been working here for many years which says a lot about the working environment. This is a beloved local establishment that gives back to the local community in many ways. It's a home away from home with good food, fairly priced menu options and an awesome ambiance. And I would put their wait staff up against the finest restaurants. What comes across is a sincerity to ensure your dining experience is something you want to repeat. I highly recommend a try if ever in the area.

Restaurants in Dumfries are generally really bad. We went to Giorgio's really wanting to like it…read more Unfortunately, overall, it just was not good. First the positives: I ordered the Gyro with fries and really enjoyed it. Not the best Gyro I have ever had, but good. The other three members of my family ordered different chicken dishes and all three were bad. Overall they were very bland. Using a little seasoning during cooking goes a long way. The chicken on the dishes seemed boiled. I guess this is an easy way to get tender chicken, but man does it remove the flavor! My wife's chicken had tendon and grizzle through out. My daughter's Marsala was gross. Seemed to be a Jared gravy. The wait staff really should not be wearing jeans, especially since the dining room seems nice (except for the paper table cloths.). One of the waitresses had ugly tattoos which no one wants to see at a nice place like this. It's a shame. This place has potential, but the food and wait staff drag it down HARD.

We went upstairs and the furniture would be more attractive in an antique store. We ordered kibbeh and hummus as appetizer. The meat inside Kibbeh was cold and the server changed it to two new ones. Same result, but now it was frozen in center. We did not bother to mind the staff again. The hummus was good! We also ordered mix grill. I am so sorry but that was a huge disappointment! Meat was burnt, and was a handful to chew in addition. Salad that came with it didn't taste much either, like Arabic salads usually do. Even tough the person that served us was nice and attentive, it doesn't help if the ambiance and the food quality is of so low standard.

Overall, if chicken kabobs were on the Cheesecake Factory menu, this version would be on the skinnylicious menu for those counting calories and preferring a healthier less indulgent version since flavors seem muted and textures appear lacking due to insufficient oil/grease.

The falafels were on point and quite tasty. I actually felt bad about sharing them. I was…read moredisappointed in the flavor of the hummus, which is to say there was none. Paprika was sprinkled on top and it was a generous portion, while smooth and creamy... no flavor. No lemon, no garlic, just chickpea. The Platter was plentiful, good portion size. I'm not generally a couscous eater, but there was a nice variety to the flavor. The pita was spot on, and again, plentiful. Very light and airy, plus it held form against the hummus. I'm a sucker for spanakopita, so I felt inclined to try the spinach pie. I was torn between spinach and meat, but I'm happy i chose the spinach. I think there was a bit or seed blended in, but whatever it was gave a great texture.

So I joined them on Sunday to try the place out. First thing, oh wow, this place gets crowded on Sunday! Jam packed. However, once we got seated, service was polite, quick, and kinda extraordinary for a diner. Customer service was first-rate imho. As for the food, it's good. It's not the best diner food I've had, but it's certainly above average. Me and my friends first shared the gyro fries, which kinda blew me away. I've had loaded fries at many places, but giving it that gyro/Greek spin just made it pop with flavor. We also tried their vegetable of the day which was seasoned green beans which tasted excellent. Very addictive. For my own order, I got their breakfast combo. I probably shouldn't have as I could only finish half of it. I finished half of everything on it but there was way too much food for me to handle. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and I think me and my friends will visit here when we can get together in Dumfries. My actual rating overall is 4 and 1/2 stars with 4 for food and 5 for service.

The inside ambiance was little too quiet lol. I think next time we're going to sit outside because outdoor seating looks so cool with cute little lights.

No smiles, no welcome, the music was louder than their voices, oh and no thank you for spending nearly $60 on 2 bowl, 2 drinks, and 2 cookies. Rather than speak when I asked which side to order on (because it's opposite from before the remodel), one of the line food sloppers (the people throwing the food in the bowls as you order) just pointed in the direction to go. The way they just plopped the food in the bowls was as if no one happened to be looking while they did it and definitely indicating they could care less about how they treat the food you're about to eat. That whole show made the restaurant just feel unclean and unwelcoming. I know it's not a fancy dine-in, but the prices are higher than some decent dine-ins and the Cava experience was one that won't happen again. Too bad. They used to be a nice experience. Used to.
