Went here for the first time since living in Dunkirk with some friends. They said it's a great place. well, of the 4 of us, I had chicken fingers, others a Gyro, beef stroganoff, and a chicken souvlaki. Out of all our food, the chicken fingers were the best of them and also not as expected.
Chicken Fingers- While hot when arriving to the table, the middle of the fingers were warm-ish and not well cooked in 2 of the 4. They were crispy as asked. fries were alright. for the price, i would have expected another finger and double the fries like other places I frequent.
Gyro- Meat looked and felt dry. Like it was frozen and microwaved. arrived warm and was very rubbery. Would not even give it to a dog.
Beef Stroganoff- Idk where to start. I've never seen a Beef Stroganoff with meatballs. It was barely warm when arrived to the table. "Not appetizing at all" is what my friend said.
Chicken Souvlaki- Also not even warm when it came to the table. "Not edible" after she got it back from the kitchen.
Before leaving, 3 of the dishes were taken off the bill. Appreciated given how the food was. Because of that, I will give them another try sometime. (and 3 stars)

Made an order fried chicken and order of chicken tenders. Took bite from fried chicken and a long gray hair was cooked into the breading. Will call to talk to manager. Received call from Shirley about 30 minutes later. She was very rude to me on the phone and was very upset about me posting review. I told her I would speak to Jamie tomorrow because I didn’t like the way she was speaking to me. She claimed she was the owner and Jamie was not. Won’t be returning if this is how they interacted with paying customers.

Views are nice! Would not go back. Hot beef sandwich was tough sliced beef....not homemade as far as I could see. Husband's steak was overcooked. Complained about the hot beef....got 2 sorrys but that was it. Waitress took too long to serve us. She was nice just not on the ball

Great food and massive portions.
Very nice woman waited in me, I ordered a beer and the "broiled salmon special" the one I got seemed past its time, kinda reeked when it came out, never a good sign with fish. I tried it kinda a twang spit it out in a napkin. Mashed potatoes were a gloopy paste didn't have any flavor neither did the green bean wax bean carrot medley. Special was not very special.

Always a good casual meal here. Wait staff is friendly and attentive. Prices are good. Would recommend.
Attended there last night with my daughter and grandson! Took forever for waitress to approach our table to take our order, then quite some time to bring our drinks! Our appetizer took approximately 30mins to arrive, we ordered spanakopita and the phyllo was raw and gummy … not edible! Then after another 30-40mins to get our meal, by now my poor grandson was getting impatient! Finally got our meals and they weren’t what we ordered, my daughter ordered open souvlaki and got the closed souvlaki, I requested a grilled chicken sandwich with all condiments on the side and it came with everything on it and by the time we got the meal they were soggy! Also both my chicken and my daughter’s chicken in her souvlaki had no flavor, just blah ! We finally just left bc it was getting late, especially for my grandson and the whole thing took over 2 hours ! The waitress was very accommodating I must say, and she apologized saying the kitchen was having issues ! Will not return !
Stopped for breakfast. Excellent service, food and lakefront views.

Where to begin? The view over the lake is unparalleled and the ambiance is cozy and welcoming. Our waitress was so incredibly friendly and kept us laughing all through lunch! She recommended the fries perch special and we all absolutely adored it! I can’t wait to go back!

I went there because my husband wanted breakfast in the afternoon, unfortunately we were told they only serve breakfast during breakfast hours no exception. I was very surprised at the new menu prices. I wouldn't have minded paying a higher price but the portions were very VERY small. Just a heads up The prices have not been updated on Line. When I asked the server about specials she told us about one Sandwich and that was all. She didn't come to ask if everything was okay within a few minutes of delivering our food and I would have sent back my husband's dinner the Greek potatoes were ice cold. The next time my husband wants breakfast and I want souvlaki I will be driving to Tom's Family Restaurant in Irving.
