My family has been going there for the past 20 years for brunch and have never had anything less than the best! The food comes out relatively fast--even if they seem incredibly crowded/busy. My food comes out perfect every time. I would recommend ordering saganaki--which is flaming cheese. I love the atmosphere, as well as the food! more

“Great for breakfast, pretty reasonable. Try the b&g (biscuits and gravy).”

This is a typical 300 item restaurant. Nothing is too fresh, but nothing is too disgusting either. Breakfasts are definitely not bad and the coffee is great. Think "Diner" before "restaruant." more

Excellent food at reasonable prices and very good service. I like the greek salad and the fried sea scallops. Portions are generous and the GOP breakfast for $3.99 is the best bargain in town! more
