Restaurant was clean. Food average. Service was not good, the waitress brought our food then quickly the check, never even checking on us or acknowledging us. Won’t be back.

Food was nice. Made me feel that that old country vibe that I grew up on. Everything was cooked to order.

Ate next to a homeless dude.
Coffee is corporate break room level. No refill.
3% fee for credit card = 3% less tip.

Honestly. The food is like sub Waffle House level. It’s not expensive but dang still manages to be $40 cause…Merica. Also the wait staff is mid at best. Food comes from Sysco.

A blend of traditional American breakfast food and a few Greek dishes. Food was exceptional and well priced, atmosphere was cozy, just be sure to park in front of the cafe rather than the bakery.

service was excellent. biscuits and gravy looked good, but it's like they were made by someone who had never had good biscuits and gravy.

While looking for a place for breakfast, which is my wife's favorite, we came across the listing online for this establishment and decided to give it a shot. We went and left very pleased! The food was great, the wait staff was engaging and prices reasonable. The experience strengthened my appreciation for small, original, Mom and Pop type eatery's. We will definitely go back!

Always a wonderful experience with affordable food with great flavor. Highly recommend.

The food is delicious. We went for breakfast the first time and devoured the corned beef hash (fresh made) and loaded colonels potatoes. So we came back a week later for lunch. 4 of us divided 4 plates so we could try more. We ordered the pastrami sandwich with a side of fried okra, the Greek salad and spinach pie, the Greek chicken with potatoes, and the fish of the day with veggies and pita bread. I was not sure about the fish but it was our favorite. Cooked in a butter garlic sauce and it was plump and moist and the best fish I've ever had. Everything was so good, but I'll go back and get the fish next time and not share. We also got baklava for dessert. Not your typical baklava but a warm and wonderful cousin that may be even better. It was heaven. I said I could die happy now that I had eaten there.

You are missing out on one of Knoxville’s greatest breakfast places!! We finally ate here for the first time today, and I thoroughly mean it when I say, this is the best food! I don’t have any pictures of the food to share because we ate it all so quick! 🤣 My husband ordered the corned beef and hash, and it’s home made! The pancakes are super fluffy and so good! I could go on and on about this place! Oh, also, the service was wonderful! All the servers worked together and made sure everyone was taken care! The atmosphere was so welcoming and so kind, they’re very appreciative of service members as well! ❤️
