Food was delicious and cooked well. Service took a while but they were very friendly, might be understaffed like a lot of places. Overall it was a good experience and would go back. Recommend the chicken veg sandwich.

Great food, a la cart but reasonably priced. The standout is some of the best bartending in the city. Even when the place is full, they’ll turn your glass over at lightning speed.

Only downside here is they have discretionary closing times. The hours listed on Google are not trustworthy. I always encourage against discretionary closing times because it creates the problem it wishes to solve (people stop showing up after a certain time when they can’t trust a place to be open).

Went on a quiet afternoon. Great authentic Greek cuisine and many original Greek combinations.

Food was excellent. Probably a hidden gem of the city. I tried my food as well as my girlfriends and both were delicious. Fantastic really. Atmosphere was unspectacular and our server was a bartender serving many people but she kept up for the most part. All in all highly recommend if you're an unsure tourist as we were, just passing through

This place is super cool, but I'm biased i love old buildings and stuff, it's what makes Pittsburgh great. Def came in hungry, had a burger, was terrific. And when I left I had satisfied my appetite for nostalgia. Thank you, don't ever change.

I walked down from the hospital to get a sandwich while I waited for a relative. Ordered a simple buffalo chicken wrap. The tortilla and the sauce must have cost $12, because they charged me an ADDITIONAL $3.50 for the fried chicken and the fries were $4.50! Twenty bucks for an average wrap and fries. What a rip off! It was a decent wrap but not for that price!

Based on the recommendation ofo our AirBnB owner, we gave this place a try on 10/5. They were not busy when we arrived, the waitress was cleaning tables and didn't really acknowledge us until we asked if we could sit anywhere. Waitress was pleasant, but didn't seem to want to truly engage in conversation, she'd start a conversation, you'd ask a ? and she'd flit away. The floors were rather sticky. We order the appetizer of dolmades, pita bread with tzatziki and hummus. This was really good. I got the Ruben, it was good not great. Husband got a Chili Cheese Dog, he enjoyed it. Son got a bacon cheeseburger, wanted it Medium, came out well done. The place livened up while we were there, lots of people at the bar and they were all so friendly. Bartender gave us a tip for take-out beverage place; his directions were spot on. With food and 1 adult beverage a piece, we spent $80+ tip.

Vegetarian options: The appetizer which consists of 6 dolmade's , pita bread, hummus and tzatziki is very tasty and worth it.
