The family that owns and operates this gem is Greek and they are not only amazing cooks, but they care about their community!! I have been there eating several times this winter and obviously homeless people would come to the door and be given water, hot soup, half a sandwich, etc. that just made me love this place more. Now to the food. First of all I had the meatball sub which was not only delicious but super filling. The meat was very well seasoned, and the fresh basil just made the marinara pop even more, add the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese and you've got something special. The homemade bread puts this thing into overdrive! Crispy on the outside, light, delicate but not falling apart and heavy enough to hold together all that deliciousness without being filling like you just ate a large pizza. Now to the ridiculous tomato basil soup. I love the clam chowder but the tomato basil is my favorite. Savory, full of flavor, smooth, creamy and not greasy. This in my opinion is the perfect pairing to the meatball sub. You're welcome! The customer service here is amazing too just like the owners and the food. You will always be greeted by a smiling face, and treated like family. You will not regret stopping here. I've eaten the Meatball sub, The Philly, the lasagna and The Gyro ( lamb and chicken) all have been 10 out of 10. The ambiance is like a neighborhood dinner with a small dining room. You will love it!

I ordered the BLT and had the chicken lemon soup The soup was very lemony and salty but I ate the whole bowl it was pretty good. The BLT had too much lettuce on it and a couple pieces of bacon but it was your standard white bread-mayo- bacon-lettuce-tomato. Prices not bad when the sandwiches come with soup or salad. Nice quaint family run local restaurant. I would try the Alfredo next time assuming they make the sauce in house?

As a person who hasn't frequently visited a vegan restaurant this place was extremely tasty…read more I had ordered the 12 pc boneless chicken wings which came with fries/celery & this oh so tasty yogurt type dipping sauce!! And price was really reasonable that I feel I would be willing to come back & try some other items on the menu. I picked up my meal to go home due to a a sick child (husband) lol. But when I came home all of a sudden he didn't want his soup & wanted my dinner & for a meat attarian he enjoyed the wings & when I asked for the dipping sauce he said there isn't anymore.. hum The portions are definitely large enough to share with a friend or lunch the next day! The breading on the wings were a tad salty, however the wings went really well with the dip, had I known how wonderful that dip was I would have ordered extra for the next couple days since that would be wonderful on a salad.. now that's an idea!! I think I'll stop buy & purchase some for salad dressings.

Comfort food for sure…read more I loved that they had retro video games and pinball machines that accept quarters or dollar bills. It is very busy and it passes the time while waiting. Before you know it, they are calling your name for seating. The food was tasty and good. I had the Croissant Breakfast Sandwich. Crispy bacon, scrambled eggs and cheese. I had a side of grits which I haven't had in forever and was worth the wait! I love the diner charm and the Coca Cola themes in the main dining areas. It was a great first visit, entertaining and the food was excellent. Come on out for a visit. The wait will fly by when playing those retro games!

Happy to go local for breakfast! All the ladies were very friendly and loved our little one…read more I got the French toast sandwich which had two pieces of French toast, bacon, cheese and egg. (Pick your protein) they have water, coffee, and everything you need at the table. Makes them a little crowded but you don't have to ask for anything. Home fries were good. The waitresses were smoking in the back and so we could smell it from the open back door and when they came back around to the dining room area.

Seating is made up of booths along the window perimeter, tables thru the middle area and a large bar area with more tables and stools along the counter. The menu selection is surprisingly diverse. I was happy to see halibut as the fish for their fish & chips, as it is often cod or other white fish. I find halibut to be the best. They also have a few dishes with nods to Korean and Thai flavors. There are pizzas and dinner salads too. I went with their bacon jam burger for dinner. It is cooked to your liking and has a grilled apple, cambozola, bacon jam, arugula & house mayo. This is the best burger I've had in a long time. The flavors complement each other so well. If you are a fan of bleu cheese you will really love the cambozola. It is creamy and oozy and is amazing on a burger. My spouse tried their Cuban sandwich and didn't like that the pickles were mediocre and didn't add to the overall flavors, and that the bread wasn't crisped or toasted in any way -- the way Cubans traditionally are. He also took a chance with a appetizer off the specials menu which he imaged was Brussels sprouts however it was shaved sautéed Brussels sprout leaves, over warm couscous with lots of fresh herbs, jalapeños, and heavily spiced with bold spices like fennel. It was bizarre and not like anything we've ever tried. We liked some of the flavors but all together didn't make sense to us so we sent it back, unfortunately. Our child tried the Mac and cheese that came with purple grapes and sorbet. The Mac and cheese was good although I'd advise SRH to try a larger noodle than a small shell so kids can stab it better and get it in their little mouths. The sorbet must be seasonal/rotating bc it was cinnamon honey pear and it was crazy delicious. I'd come back for just the sorbet tbh. Other than that our red-haired bespectacled server was fairly attentive and quite friendly, even on a very busy Friday dinner rush. Parking lot just outside seems easy enough as long as you can grab a spot at busy times. Will be back in the future for the fried halibut (and sorbet!).

Nothing but AMAZING…read more... From the outside, the place and neighborhood we were a little worried being from out of town. We were happily greeted and shown our booth. Once our server, Nicole, came we asked her a few questions about the menu which she answered and made her recommendations. Once our apps were brought out, she brought us a small strawberry orio shake to welcome us in for the first time. -The cheese curds, A+ soft, great batter. -Cup of chili with cheese. B+. The only critique of the evening is the hamburger was not seasoned. There was huge chunks of burger in the chili, which is great but if the meat would have had more seasoning it would have tasted better. -fried chicken is out of this world. Skin was slap your momma one time and once you bite into the meat, the chicken is so juicy it makes you want to slap your moms twice. I have never and I hope my mom and grandma don't read this but I have never had fried chicken this good. I thought I had good fried chicken frowning up in the South. -mushroom Swiss burger, burger is 1/4 lb and not the supposedly 1/4 lb like MCDs tries to pass off. This guy was huge. I asked for extra pickles and this is the the first place that instead of throwing 2-3 extra pickles on, they put a row of pickles on each side of the beef. Every time I come to anchorage from now on, this will be one one place I always come.
