Great service, just that the waitress gave less time than I would like to look over our menu.
Good atmosphere but I saw stuff that wasn't food under the tables like dust bunnies and a little mud. Didn't enjoy the gravy on the meatloaf referred to the gravy as "Hospital Gravy"

Dietary restrictions: They have Vegan options and Gluten Free Pancakes and probably other stuff with no gluten

Parking: Lot of spots due to not being that busy

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu with options

I had the Greek Platter. Salad was same as what came with gyro meat. Roasted Potato Wedges were just gross in my opinion. Should have taken picture. Smothered in at least 1 inch of melted butter with a lemon wedge. Myself and someone else tried to eat it but it was absolutely GROSS. Cholesterol Heaven I suppose for others. 9 of us attended and will probably NOT RETURN due to this. Sorry about negative review but others should know about this. Service and atmosphere were fine.

As you drive up the first thing you see is two times more trash than the dumpster can fit as you enter your buffeted with the overwhelming scent of sanitizer.

We love Greek food and have traveled miles out of the way for Greek food but the garlic encrusted Panini sandwich wasn't a panini, just a oily grilled cheese and chicken sandwich.

The combination plate was okay, but was very commercial and could have come out of a kit.

Service was good, but seemed apologetic and we were told that they had already had several complaints on the day we visited.

Portions are substantial so in volume the prices are possibly worth it, but quality, if you enjoy Mediterranean food was missing.

Dirty bathrooms, flies everywhere, and soggy and rotten food. Don’t know how this has four stars. $15 for a pile of rotten arugula on soggy toast. Please remove items you are unable to keep fresh ingredients for. Seeing as there are over 50 items on your menu, this may be the issue.

A great family place. It was bustling when the 3 of us were there. Promptly received our beverage order. I had the Pancake Sandwich, first time for me. Delicious ? Wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable & helpful.

Eggs Benedict is different than an omelet. I told the waiter several times I wanted a Florentine eggs Benedict and even pointed to it in on the menu. I also ordered a side of Canadian bacon and asked to have it put on the eggs Benedict, but somehow that was misunderstood as an omelet with the Canadian bacon on the side. Luckily the potato side and the bacon I ordered was enough to keep me from starving. And they were the same price, so the bill was what we had planned on, even though I got no where near the item I ordered. I picked through the omelet, and took it home to give to someone else.

Everyone else food was correct, they seemed to really like theirs.

This place is suffering from the most common issues most modern diners have. The menu is way too big. There is too much to pick from. Serving sizes are way too big. The worst part of all is that even though they give you all the food they can possibly fit onto the plate, it's extremely bland. The food here came out at an excellent temperature, but it had literally no flavor. I shook the salt and pepper shakers over my skilet for a literal minute, and I still didn't taste it.

I absolutely love this place. My partner and I go often. We have yet to order a dish that wasn’t up to par. Prices are extremely reasonable for the portions you receive. Has a wide variety of options on the menu. The employees are always kind and respectful. It is clean and lastly the location is away from the hustle and bustle of Springfield.

We were sat right away and had a young gentleman come to take a drink order for us. He was very soft spoken and a bit hard to hear but very very polite and well mannered. I ordered a pretzel with cheese and when they say "jumbo" they really mean it! The thing was huge! The orzo was very very oily. All the rest of the food looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. They didn't have the full menu online so I went ahead and took some pictures of it to post. Definitely would go back there again.

Vegetarian options: Some dishes available with no meat in it. Read description of each dish to clarify if meat is included or not.

When we walked in, no one was at the front counter to seat us so we decided to wait. We waited a very long time and no one came out to seat us, even though the place was entirely empty.

Portions were large and good! Great for you to take home and eat later. Definitely get your money’s worth. Waitress was also very nice and fast with the orders.

A completely ridiculous amount of food served here. Had the southwest chicken wrap which was very dry. Needed some type of sauce.
