Honestly, the only time you get good food is if the owner is physically in the kitchen doing the cooking. Their regular cook is terrible and makes the worst food. The Wait staff know this and even told me when I asked why the food was different between the few times I'd been there.
Honestly, if you looking for a bar then your good, if your looking for a place to eat then good luck because unless you ask, there's no way of knowing who's cooking that day.

Very fun spot. Fun decor. Great beer and drink selection. Nice people. Pretty good, with some Greek flair. My friend LOVES the Greek salad. Highly recommended.

I want to like this place because it's convenient and has a big menu. We've been there twice and same results. C - rated food and service. Last night I ordered the roasted figs with feta cheese and honey. I would not serve what we were given. It was disgusting. The figs were burned black and the skin fell off in ashes. They took the salty water from the feta cheese and put honey in it. The resulting watery feta and honey was so salty nobody would eat it. I asked specifically if the marinated chicken in the Greek salad is salty or if I should order the grilled chicken and she said no they were the same. I went with the marinated chicken and it was frankly, inedible. The chicken was so salty I couldn't eat it and so was the greek dressing. I brought it home thinking maybe I'd eat it for lunch. Seriously I can't eat it, it's like a mouthful of salt and I love Greek food. My salad also had small dolmades in the dish and the cabbage leaves tasted spoiled. Maybe there's a menu item here I will like but when I ask the wait staff for their opinion and they rave about how everybody likes it, what shall I think when that's not my experience? Last time we had burgers and they were ok but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. I'm giving them 3 stars to be kind to a locally owned establishment but I blame the server for not being honest about their food. And she's a long time employee.

Try their French onion soup!

Unfortunately I did not have a great review to post because it seems as if the owner or manager does not know customer service. The lovely bartender offered to take my mother’s sandwich off her tab because it looked like dog food and she even agreed with us , 6/1/25 . His lack of self awareness and lack of empathy is out of this world . I WILL NEVER EVER COME BACK !

In all my years of managing, I have never once come across another owner, talking to customers the way that I did today . I’m very disappointed with the food and the staff as well.

Good bar/restaurant place to eat. They kitchen is open longer than a typical restaurant so great place if you need a meal later in the evening.

Our group of friends go there 2 to 3 times a year. Food is hot and delicious. Our waitress was excellent and the staff always greets you when you arrive and thanks you when you leave.

Great food! My dad had a question about the corned beef and the chef/owner even came out to talk to him about it. It's the real deal!

The first time we ate here about 2 months ago everything was really good from the service to the food. The wings definitely are their thing. The chicken soup was more like chicken pot pie, not soupy at all. My wife didn't eat her soup, and the waitress did not offer to take it off the bill. My side salad was ok, but the pieces of lettuce were like long overgrown weeds. I had high expectations, but this visit fell flat.
