    Chicken souvlaki quesadilla
    FX K.

    Freezing rainy spring April afternoon & we stopped in for some warm goodness: soup! They had Squash soup & Split Pea! We tried them both & they were delish! We also split a Chicken souvlaki quesadilla. It was huge ! 3 large portions! We ended up taking some home. Also delicious!

    Beef Souvlaki
    Amy K.

    I really wanted to like this place as my husband went here for breakfast and said it was good. I also saw someone's breakfast order today and it looks like they use Costanzo's rolls which earns them points. My experience was not so good. The service was great and I could tell the cook was really busting his butt so I do want to give credit there; however the interiors really needs some cleaning and upgrades. It was not clean. For the food, it took forever so don't come here extremely hungry. After our food arrived I was really surprised at the "beef" they served me because it honestly looked like a Dollar Tree Ribeye and if you don't know what I'm talking about then google it. I was really disappointed since the beef was more expensive than my husbands chicken yet his was much better and they gave you more! Truly disappointing. Probably will not be returning.

    Great long-standing Greek/American family diner. Very friendly service with pretty large menu and great selection. Had the Holly and hash breakfast, would easily get it again. Pancakes look great, but weren't the best, kinda bland and dry. Over all our meals were very good, with a very comfortable experience. Great prices too! FYI, it is cash only. Probably going to throw this place into our breakfast rotation.

    The question is, can you adopt a family, if you have a "legal union" rather than a marriage, i.e. same sex marriage in states where it is not legal to do so. Well the answer should be yes. And this restaurant is the pioneer of campaigning for same sex marriage to be legal everywhere in the world. Hence they sell "Same Sex Souvlaki" and "Equality Eggs" and "One Rule For All Omelettes" and so on. You can even get "Fight For Freedom Frittata." If you so wish. What to get: Souvlaki dinner. I've been here just once, and I had the Chicken Souvlaki. The chicken was tender and moist and hefty and delicious and beautiful, as was the greek dressing. The pita was delicious and amazing too. The chicken wasn't my fave Souvlaki in town but then this is the best town in the world for American style Souvlaki, so that's not really a criticism. It's utterly AMAZING to be honest. It's very very very well marinaded too which always is the best way. Not dry at all. Compare it to Towne and Spilios and Wehrle, right up there with them. And Altons too. The salad was a real downer. It tasted soggy and old. Very disappointing because Towne's Greek salad is fresh and crisp. I won't avoid Union because of this, but it was a shame because had they nailed the salad, this would have been one of my fave places to go for Greek. I will definitely be back to try other stuff though. And if you don't want Onions on your food, make sure you specify. After all, they don't call this the Onion Family Restaurant for nothing. And after all, you ain't seen nothing til you're down on a Muffin. And my word, I have been, more than once. Way more than once. And once again, same sex marriage FTW.

    Coconut cream pie and coffee.

    Becoming a regular here. Biscuits and gravy portion is huge with tons of tasty sausage gravy. Local eggs. Bacon was crispy and not paper thin. Boyfriend had this amazing concoction called a Country Bennie which was English muffins with sausage patties on top, then poached eggs. All smothered in sausage gravy and served with home fries. (We were told by the waitress that this was a new menu addition when she came by to ask how we liked our food). Iced tea was fresh tasting and well made. Coffee is the local roaster (forget the name) but they make it stronger (or maybe this part of town has better water) than most diners so it was actually good. The coffee here is better than any diner we've been to honestly. Lemon meringue and coconut cream pies were very good. Also tried their fish fry which was excellent. Comes with a potato (I got german potato salad) macaroni salad or mac and cheese, and cole slaw. All of the sides were good. Another breakfast special was the apple cinnamon pancake with eggs and bacon which was insanely huge and amazing. I managed to eat one of the two pancakes, they're huge. The apples were fresh, the pancakes were crusted with cinnamon and sugar making crunchy edge bits. They were just fantastic. Staff were super nice and attentive. Restaurant was pretty quiet at 6:45. They open at 6am and close at 8pm daily. Cash only, but they conveniently have an ATM inside. We also went for breakfast on a weekend and while the restaurant is much more full then, it's full of older people who are quiet and unobtrusive. We love this place. You should try this place out! Just across the street is the ice cream stand made out of a train car. So if you don't gorge yourself too much here you can get a cone!

    Fish fry - off the special menu

    Best fish fry in town! Very quick service, and food is fresh. Get full for just $8.95!

    Absolutely 5/5 for everything…read more Ambiance- this is a cute coffee place but also so much more! They have many tables available for sitting and enjoying your meal. Everything was really clean and neat throughout the place. Service- ALL of the staff were wonderful. They greet you, explain all options to you and serve you too! Everyone made us feel warm and welcomed. Food- Now let's talk about the food!!!! Sooo many options. I think if I worked at the Apple Tree business park I would be in trouble! It would be hard to resist. For options, they have a ton on the menu. Lots of fried foods, sandwiches, pizza and also healthier options like hard boiled eggs to grab and go, along with salads and a lay-per-pound salad bar to pick your own toppings! Todays choice for me was a much talked about Fish Fry dinner! Omg. It comes hanging out the sides of the container and it's served with fries and all three salad options (potato, macaroni, and coleslaw). Everything was really tasty. Salads are definitely homemade and very dressed, not dry at all. The fish was fried right as we ordered so it was super hot and fresh. So delicious. We also tried 2 different types of pizza. I do wish the crust was a little more well done, but the flavors were good. My recommendation: come hungry!!! Fish fry is where it's at. I would come back here again. I also would like to try the coffee and desserts on my next visit because I will be back!

Stopped out for a fish fry, didn't know but the fish is not skinless, sides were good. We ate in the lobby area, but just heard the following week they were getting new owners, I think but am not completely sure it may be one of the workers that took it over.

If you know there is something specific you want (even if it isn't something custom like a cake) you can pre order to ensure it will be there for you when you visit.

I love that there is one close to where my parents live (and also located in the convenient area of the Southgate Plaza). Plenty of parking right in front of the store and easy to get into and out of. They are almost always busy, so expect at least a little bit of a wait. They have a large selection and variety of donuts and they are fresh and sizeable. They also have other treats like cinnamon rolls and bagels. There is also a separate check out for things like smoothies (and they have a wide variety of those as well). The inside is bright, festive and clean. There are also several photo opps if that is your thing. They are more pricey than other options (like the bakery in Market in the Square right next door) but you do get quality ingredients and it makes a difference in the taste. Highly recommend a visit here if you love donuts.
