$84.28 I order 2 rib tips dinners. Definitely didn’t expect that price. The tips were a little tough but tasty

Gus was an awesome front of House experience. We ordered 2 gyro sandwiches and a pulled pork. Everything was delicious. It was day 5 at the hospital near by, and their food really hit the spot after almost a week of hospital food. Awesome atmosphere. I was surprised it's not that big of a dining area, but it looked intimate. Definition going here again on date night once we find a sitter!

Really good food. Even though some of the items felt overcooked slightly, the flavors and juices remained and everything tasted good and fresh. The restaurant was packed and we had to wait for our food, but it was well worth it. Great spot and will visit again.

Walked in and was completely empty, no employees too greet me. As I walked further into the restaurant to investigate. I saw the owner, hiding in a corner booth sitting on his phone. After which i came up to him and spoke very politely, after which he got offended and aggressive for no reason, and proceeded to basically kick me out of the restaurant. No wonder nobody is there!

The ribs were pretty good although a little dry. The chicken wings were basically inedible. They were really dry and I wondered if they were double dipped or something. Was disappointed.

Found this place while visiting from Ohio. To be honest bbq wasn’t on the menu idea for my family for the evening. By the time we got to order dinner a lot of places closed and this place was open so I checked out the menu. Bbq and Greek is something I’ve ever seen before and I was here for it! First when I couldn’t find it the man on the phone who appeared to be the owner or manager made sure I got right to the parking lot. We chatted like old pals waiting for my food. The gentlemen was welcoming and the vibe of the place had a very neighborhood feeling. He came off to me as the type of person who knew his customers names. Food was on time and on point. We got two different burgers which were grilled perfect, perfect toppings, enough to fill you up but you could eat it with two hands. My wife got the bbq meatloaf sandwich and it was fantastic. He appeared to have used his house bbq sauce which was a perfect blend of sweet and tang. Complimented the crust of the meatloaf extremely well. Finally the gyro platter. I believe it was $22.99? Easily 3 full stuffed gyros. The meat was perfectly moist which seems to be sometimes uncommon. Robust Greek flavor, and overall quantity left nothing to be desired here. If we’re here again next year I’ll be back. The Greek fries left me curious and quite a few menu items struck my eye. In 2024 a quality restaurant experience deserves to be made known and you sir are providing just that. Cheers to you.

Cute little saloon style restaurant, love the golf vibe of the restaurant, the food was very good, staff are very friendly especially the host and waitress, foods a little pricey but you’re paying for good quality food so it’s worth it
