    Spinach pie Greek salad.
    Terri G.

    Lovely. Portions were generous, food was delicious, servers so nice. Prices still reasonable. My spinach pie came with Greek salad. The bf had a gyro melt, came with perfectly crispy fries and a cup of soup. Can't wait to go back

    THE BEST KEPT SECRET in Scranton. Great little diner that serves Greek food as well as traditional American food. (Hamburgs are large and delicious) Great salads and exceptional deserts. You must try the HOMEMADE rice pudding...you will think you are in grandma's kitchen! Things to love about this diner....the owner runs it meticulously. (For those who remember the Castle Restaurant run by Peter Kaldes... this little diner is run the same way, only on a smaller scale. Always clean, fast friendly service, caters to your needs, great homey atmosphere, efficient wait staff, great cooks. I guess the GREEKS are just darn good at running restaurants!) So if you just want a gyro or an authentic Greek dinner, homemade soups, Greek pastries or American fare, stop in and take a seat...the owner will great you with warm welcome! You won't be disappointed!

    Gyro Omelette

    Nice little diner. This is right down the road from my work, Electric City Axe Throwing, so it's a good place for me to grab breakfast at. I had the Gyro omelette which was a first for me and it was really good. I like the Greek and American combination for a diner. It's a cool combo.

    Kielbasa and eggs,with homefries. Also decaf and regular coffee

    See all

    Good hearty food, not that salty, made fresh in-house. Homey atmosphere. Has its own parking lot. Lots of servers who pay attention to you.

    It's always fun to dress up with the family and go out for a nice dinner. We always passed AV and…read morewanted to finally give it a try! It's a beautiful place, nice lounge area, classy bar (pls remember you're still at a nice place, cough cough backward hat guy...). We sat down at our candle lit table and got complimentary water and our waitress sent over some bread and olive oil... the waitress with the bread, well wasn't the most social person. She gave us each a big piece of bread and some olive oil. We did request black pepper in the oil which I suggest. The bread was also cold which was strange. 6/10 For appetizers we got beef carpaccio and calamari. The beef carpaccio came out with a oniony creamy dip, arugula, onion, capers, and dill in the middle on top of the thin meat. Strangely it came with like 4 house made salt and vinegar potato chips. I honestly liked it so much and wanted more and I got it for dessert... 8.8/10. The calamari was perfectly cooked, not chewy at all, and also came with tentacles (my favorite). There was a yummy aïoli with a tang and some peppers. Just wish there was more... 7.9/10 For our entrees we got two filets, medium rare, one with Gorgonzola sauce and one with no sauce (the sauce comes on the side). We also got two bucatini dishes, one with and one without meat. The filets were perfectly cooked, usually every restaurant either overcooks or undercooks my steak but AV did it right. The Gorgonzola sauce was a rich cheesy sauce. The mashed potatoes were creamy and felt homemade. The carrots were alright, just sliced and cooked same with the green beans. 7.6/10 The bucatini was actually really good! So creamy and delicious, with a little spice. They both came with burrata (love), and the meat one came with a little amount of sausage pieces nothing recognizable. The spice wasn't unenjoyable and was tolerable to someone who can't handle spice. 8.6/10 Time for dessert, we got crème brûlée, the apple cake, and the sweet tart brown sugar lemon dessert. And some beef carpaccio because I wasn't feelin dessert. Crème brûlée, the top was perfectly crystallized. The inside was room temp, not cooled and not warm. 7.6/10 Apple cake, the cake came with a big ice cream scoop on top. Inside there was Apple slices like a pie. The cake was bread like and a good balance of the sweet ice cream and apple innards. 6.8/10 Sweet lemon brown sugar tart, this wasn't a favorite of the table but I didn't mind it. It was a cup like tart, with mouse or a cream in it. 5.7/10. Overall experience was pretty good, nothing bad stood out except for the cold bread and non social waitress interaction. The food was great, atmosphere was wow, and the outside was a beautiful walk to the car. The parking is a fend for yourself and there is a sign on the door to not use the private lot across the street. Overall experience....... 8.1/10 No pictures this time, was really hungry.

    I consider myself a fan of AV. I have only eaten twice, first I had chicken parm and second time I…read morehad some kind of whitefish, I wish I could remember. I loved the fish, the chicken parm was pretty good, I'm hard to please with that one. The table service is good, bar service better. Beautiful ambiance, and a great area available for rent upstairs. I do visit the bar often, as they have several great non alcoholic options including wine, which I appreciate tremendously. Bonus points for N/A products and a great bartender. (John, I think?) Thank you!

Great ambiance (love me some R&B). I live in LA, California where everything is pricey and sometimes the food is not as flavorful for the price you pay.

    Incredible what you can find when you aren't looking…read more I stumbled upon a gem, with a good bit of history. On a layover in Scranton I was walking around hungry, but was unsure of where to go to fix that. So I do what I always do, walk aimlessly. Just a few steps away from the University of Scranton, Chef Von & Mom sits. I entered and was immediately greeted with warm smiles, and beautiful faces. Mom was present, and gave me a brief history lesson. She informed me her family actually established the first black owned restaurant in Scranton. At that point I had heard enough, the smells coming from the kitchen had already decided for me. I asked Mom whats a popular dish I would enjoy, she suggested the BBQ sandwich with the fries. The order came out very quickly and piping hot. The BBQ was juicy, and the fries were seasoned to perfection. I loved the toasted bun, it held the moisture of the coleslaw well without getting soggy. The BBQ sauce was a nice compliment to the overall sandwich, nothing else was needed, this was indeed a hit. I appreciate the incredible customer service, but I love that this family has continued an incredible tradition of bringing Scranton quality food with no exceptions. Pro tip: After I left I looked this place up, the owners Chef Von & Mom were on "Next Level Chef" with Gordon Ramsey. Check out their episode, it originally aired on FOX.
