She ordered a Greek salad with added gyro meat, my older son a Greek salad with no meat, and I got a gyro pita combo. The meat was perfectly seasoned and freshly shaved off the spit.

Come on folks! Try something different. The meats are spot on and they offer generous portions. This time I had a salad with the typical shaved gyro meat on it. It was one of the best salads I've had in years, even from far more dance restaurants. I'm not a salad person generally, but I can see coming back repeatedly just for the salad. The management is always open to giving you a sample taste if you're unsure of what to order too. I've tried most of the menu and I think everything is good. I only have one suggestion for the owners, add a little meat to the cabbage rolls, it's disappointing to bite into them and just get a lot of rice.

When it comes to Mediterranean food & it's my first visit, 9 times out of 10 I'm trying the Falafel. That's what I went with here with a baklava for something sweet. The falafel is HUGE. I enjoyed the tahini sauce (I might mess around & ask for extra next time). Plenty of pickles in every bite. I splashed some hot sauce here & there to take it up a notch. I'd order it again. The baklava was good & had a distinctive taste. It didn't taste like the baklavas I'm used to (not in a bad way). It might've been as certain spice or the type of honey/syrup they used. It was a good way to cap off my meal. The place was busy! I ended up eating outdoors, surprisingly, it was well shaded. The menu is massive, there's plenty to choose from.

They had an additional list on top of what is on the menu. I chose a flavor I've never had in pie form. The German chocolate pie and it was very tasty. I loved the pecans and coconut. What I loved the most was the flaky crust--so good! The salad is pretty standard, but it was fresh and crisp. The ranch dressing is fabulous, homemade, and made the salad delicious. The lunch portion of chicken fried chicken I received was on the large side. It was seasoned very well, and I loved the seasonings. The meat was so tender and juicy! I know I got my food just a few minutes after the it was fried. It couldn't have been more fresh. The star of my meal was the mashed red potatoes and gravy. They actually cook and mash real potatoes. It is so hard to find this when dining out. They used the perfect amount of salt. It's been a long time since I have not added salt to my meal but I didn't need to here.

There were lots of servers, so we were well taken care of, but I felt rushed through the meal. We had not been in before, so it took some time to decide what we wanted. The menu is a little hard to follow with some things listed on a menu board on the wall (that no one pointed out to us). The waitress came back like every two minutes asking if we were ready, so we just felt a little rushed through that process. The food itself was hit and miss. My son did not enjoy the chicken fried steak sandwich, but my other son loved his Monterey chicken. Some of our chicken strips were good and some were really tough. The fried chicken and grilled chicken sandwich were both pretty good. Overall, it was ok, but not our best meal of the trip.
