The menu has typical diner food. I had the gyro sandwich which came with lots of meat but the tsatziki was a little different. The lemon rice soup was really good and the fries came out hot. Service was great and friendly.

They’re usually good with how fast they attend to you but they missed the mark this day. Waiter was a sweet heart but other than that. It took way too long for us to get waited on, the water guy took forever on water refills and it just wasn’t what it usually is. Food is a bit overpriced. But good quality.
