    Gyros Sandwich
    Elizabeth C.

    The Gyros Salad is an Excellent, more healthy option for those who are managing their weight. Generous portions, and fresh. I recommend it. Ty

    Italian Combo with Giardiniera - solid sandwich
    David M.

    Have to give this 4 out of 5. There beef is one of the best I ever had. The only reason they don't get a 5 star is the Italian sausage lacks some flavor and needs to be grilled more. Thebplace is small but has some benches for indoor or outdoor eating. The service is really fast and you are in and out very quickly. At the time of writing this. A combo with Giardiniera is $10 25 out the door with no fries or drink.

    Great Italian beef
    Steve D.

    Finally made the stop here for an Italian beef. This place has been on my beef list for quite some time and I was somewhat in the area so I stopped. I ordered a beef hot to go. That's it. The beef made about a 30 minute drive home with me. Upon unwrapping the sandwich I could see it still looked wonderful. Now taste time..........Wow! It was excellent. The beef,giard,bread.Wow again. Seasoning was spot on. I now see why so many love it. This beef is hovering at my top 5. That good. My review is only for the beef, I don't know about their other items but I'd bet they're good too.

    This Pete's location is consistent, quick service and affordable food prices. I had the grilled cheese pita which was stuffed with 3-4 slices of cheese - very good. It's a grab & go place mostly. They have a few tables for dining in, but they fill up quickly. The turn around time on the orders is fast. Menus & pictures of food decorate the walls.

    Super Taco Rocks!!!

    Beef on garlic bread will change your life. I take that one dry so I don't loose the garlic, add hot peppers. Fast friendly, fabulous food in a no frills diner with counter service.

    Chicken Salad
    Rachel H.

    They have one of the best chicken salads around! I was bummed when my former spot in Greek Town closed that I would get them from but now I'm back happy! This place has been around forever but I've never tried their chicken salad until recently and I'm hooked. The salad is a very nice size and two people can easily share. You get plenty of grilled chicken and fresh vegetables. Come with a piece of Italian bread and butter. Definitely my go to spot for a chicken salad.

    DELICIOUS !!! 9.5/10 Combo Italian beef & sausage with mozzarella, juice & hot peppers on the side.

    Came in yesterday for the first time ever. I was super overwhelmed because they have so many good…read morethings. They have freshly baked bread and a lot of Italian food, ingredients and cooked food. I had just had dinner but I was so tempted to get some risotto or an arancini. The workers are very helpful and knowledgeable. We got a loaf of bread, sausage, cheese, olives, a slice of pizza, and 2 gelatos. If I was hungry I would have ordered a lot more because everything looked so delicious behind the counter. The gelato was so delicious! I really wish I had gotten the Italian ice though because it was so hot outside and it would have hit the spot. I would definitely return as I'd like to get pasta and some of their homemade pasta sauce.

    Phenomenal place, bring cash & your appetite show up early if you can as some of their stuff sells…read moreout later in the day. Huge array of old school style dishes they make fresh - various pizzas, pasta dishes, chicken limone, sausage on a roll, gnochi you name it. It can get crowded in there so maybe send one person in from your group instead of everyone if there's a bunch of people with you. Their desserts are amazing too, save some space for it or bring a cooler to have it for later. There's some outdoor seating space and an indoor one too. Really nice people & phenomenal food you can't get many places anymore
