    Lovely lil classic diner.
    Kelly G.

    Great secret spot! Don't tell a soul! Too good to be true. Service was prompt & we had an enjoyable experience & had left-overs!

    Egg Preference

    ATTN: BREAKFAST LOVERS I wanted a home cooked breakfast and was tired of the usual breakfast eateries. I came here on an empty stomach and glad I did because the serving are pretty large. Our waitress was very sweet and provided exceptional service. The restaurant has a old school diner feel with seating right in front of the kitchen. You can choose between a booth or a table. The food was fresh to order and the bacon is like no other! Try the biscuits and gravy they are so fluffy and delicious. I had my eggs over easy, but you can cook your eggs to your preference. Try the tasty pancakes with strawberry jam and syrup you will not disappointed. I will be back to try their French toast!

    Fish with veggies from the buffet line
    Maria S.

    A friend recommended this diner. You can order from the menu or go through the steam table which I did. I had the fish which comes with three veggies. The serving was generous so I had leftovers for a second meal. The fish filet was good and so were the cabbage, carrots and broccoli. A roll was brought to my table. The service was friendly. I sat in a comfortable booth. Some folks were dining at the diners's bar. There's plenty of parking.

    Great little spot with consistently good breakfast! Simos special always hits the spot. (ask for the hashbrowns extra crispy)

    Gyro Sandwich with golden fries.
    Mic A.

    A very unassuming diner on heavily trafficked N Shepherd Drive. There was a time when there were numerous places like this located all along Shepherd Drive. To my knowledge Simos might be the last one of its kind. I decided to check it out after seeing they offered a Gyro sandwich basket. So I had already made my decision before I walked in. I walked into the diner with its high ceilings and dark wood trim. It had a welcoming atmosphere and people were lined up to order from the day's specials offered at the steam table. I had to walk over and take a look. Everything looked so tempting. The turkey and dressing just about snagged me. But I was craving a gyro. Gyros are hard to come by north of 610N. So I took a seat at the counter and placed my order. A few minutes later I had a platter of thick cut golden fries and a gyro sandwich stuffed to brim with succulent sliced green gyro meat topped off with diced tomatoes and onions and homemade tzatziki sauce all wrapped up tightly in red and white checkered paper. I went for a golden fry. It was better than good. Crispy outer skin and flavorful tender insides. Next I surveyed my gyro. I'm pretty sure that this was the largest gyro I've ever seen. I removed the paper and lifted this Greek taco to take a bite. I struggled with lining up the gyro to mouth and then to open up my mouth enough to take a good bite. A large bite was impossible and I had to settle for what seemed like a small bite. But the small bite filled my mouth and normally would have been a large bite from a regular gyro. The meat was juicy and savory. The oregano and other spices tasted like homemade. I could have made two servings with what I was served. I stopped at about 3/4's and stopped. I still had plenty of fries and decided I would take the rest home with me for a snack later. I would rate the gyro with fries good. Above average and very satisfying. I can't wait to go back and try out the specials on the steam table. Oh and also the breakfast offerings. Nice job Simos'!

    My dad enjoyed his meal

    Excellent service and delicious breakfast! The ham was huge! And the French toast was delicious! Very clean and bathrooms were clean

In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.

Cruiser Coffee (Organic) - That's some bitter coffee. It's not sweet, but it has a residual candy-like taste that resembles something I can't quite recall. It's also strong--like it goes as hard as my Vietnamese coffee. My eyes started twitching about half a cup in. Love it. Fresh Orange Juice - OH YEAH. My orange juice connoisseur BFF gave it the thumbs-up of approval. We asked for a glass of ice, and it elevated the drink. Steak and Green Eggs (BFF) - Wow. Those green eggs--what's in them? What is in them? Delicious with buttered toast. The potatoes were perfectly crisp, and that steak? Seasoned so well, super fragrant, and moist. For a breakfast steak, it's great. Admittedly, it was lathered in butter. Annie's Low-Fat, High Protein Burrito - Not my favorite. It tasted a bit too healthy after that incredible steak, but as the flavor lingered, it grew on me. My favorite part was definitely the beans, which came through exceptionally clean. Lox Platter w. Everything Bagel - Exactly what the menu promised with high-quality ingredients.
