    Bar area
    Chris M.

    Crowded. I did not realize it but there is early bird special if you sit at the bar. They have a limited parking lot that you need to a magician to navigate around especially wiih more than one car trying to park Even though I sat at the bar, I a waitress took my order rather than the bartender. What's with that? I ordered a cheeese burger medium with lettuce and tomato. I came out charred well done. They charged extra for the fries which looked like they were frozen. I could have had them crispier. I would think twice before I returned.

    Early Dinner Special
    Michelle M.

    Pros: Early Dinner Special-- SO much food for a reasonable price. Cons: Parking is hard, lot was full so had to park down the street. Service was good, food took long but it was a full house so that's expected. Food was ok...nothing to write home about but it was good. But for the price of that dinner special, I will definitely be back. I can see why it's been around for so long based off prices alone.

    Prime Rib

    The best prime rib! Cooked perfectly! They have it on the menu Thursday Friday and Saturday!

    Prime rib, roasted potatoes, horseradish

    Having been craving a hearty portion of beef for a while, I perused through Google looking to locally satiate my need for meat. Though I must've passed by the building hundreds of times over the years, I've never noticed Greg's until it came up on the results. This unassuming building by the Mt. Auburn cemetery is a hidden gem. I wonder how many have passed over it for the more contemporary eateries? Having no one to go with, and being a self-conscious type, I almost chickened out but promise of a meal I've been longing for said come come just do it. Greeted warmly by auntie-like staff, I passed through the bustling bar area and into the quieter dining room. Dimly lit and accented by vintage style wall sconces and fairy lights made for a cozy ambiance. Decorated tin ceiling tiles, exposed brick and warm, wood-paneled walls. Plush red leather booths and classic cafe chairs based off the Thonet 18. Like the ending scene of That Girl's first episode where Marlo Thomas' character Ann Marie and her potential love interest Don Hollinger sitting at a red checkered table for their first date, I sat down anticipating my own romantic experience with this neighborhood Italian-American restaurant with mid 20th century decor. This isn't a place that's "trying" to be of the period. Aside from the nostalgic 80's hits playing softly in the background, it's as if the place never changed, and I love that. I scarcely looked at the menu to be honest, as I knew exactly what I wanted. Prime Rib medium rare with horseradish, a side of salad and roasted potatoes. The salad came promptly, with a plate of fluffy, sesame coated Scala bread and butter. By the time I finished, my hot hot plate arrived on cue, a lovely thick portion of rib meat lightly bathed in jus. Now though I haven't had underwhelming prime rib anywhere, I am a known sinner for drowning meat in A1 and horseradish. I did decide to cut a piece and eat it with the jus alone. Oh dear readers do listen. The flavors bursted vibrantly. A touch of horseradish dotted here and there, but the steak sauce remained untouched through the duration of the meal. The next 15 minutes were just The Psychedelic Furs, Erasure, Madonna, me and prime rib. I don't remember my surroundings from being in bliss. All the anxiety I had as a solo restaurant-goer disappeared and I transcended. This is true cozy comfort of a restaurant. Next time he visits, I will bring my British partner to experience what it's like to go to what I now consider "a true American restaurant experience". Maybe I'll come before that anyways because wow, that was lovely. Thank you for the wonderful food and hospitality to everyone present tonight.

    Great spot with excellent food (large portions) and good prices. Try the veal parm! Can get busy even early during the day

    Food was great however service was poor. Hostess did not want to seat us and the waitress took a long time to acknowledge us.

The ambience is great - large space with casual vibes, lots of screens for sports and ample seating with both high tables and comfortable booths. The place was not too crowded but there were quite a few people there. It was around 8:30 when we came in so a bit later than the usual dinner time. The menu is quite extensive with a wide variety of dishes and even barbecue platter options. We ordered the smoked chicken wings to share - they came with a dry chili rub and 2 sauces - bbq and a Carolina mustard sauce. They were good tender tasty. For my main dish I ordered the blackened salmon with salad. The salmon was cooked well crispy on the outside and tender flaky inside. It came with deviled eggs too - which were ok - a bit spicy. The salad had cucumbers tomatoes and onions, but they were such tiny pieces and not a lot of- hard to find lol among all the greens. They should have either added more or just cut them in bigger pieces. They were literally like a few millimeters wide - almost microscopic!! The hubs ordered the root beer white russian drink which he liked. He ordered the rigatoni pasta which he enjoyed - tasty, tangy creamy with a touch of spice. Service was very pleasant- our server was very nice checked in on us frequently and even took a picture of us! Overall good experience and we'll be back!

There are a few different flavor profiles to choose from, including Korean pineapple, spicy Chinese, and Nashville. We got the Seoulja Boi wings (came with a ranch-based dip on the side) combo with fries and drink, plus a maple glazed Brussels sprouts aide. It was good - I've never said no to a crispy wing - but not earth shattering. The crinkle cut fries were solid though- crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. (A bit annoyed that my pickup order didn't include utensils as I had indicated in the online order form - they must've just missed this because the straw and ketchup were all in there.) Still, a good option if you're looking for a quick-service type takeout place around Arsenal Yards. They cook to order and you can't fry wings under 15 minutes, so best to order online and pickup.

I waited for at least a couple minutes looking straight at my order. Someone just needed to hand it to me. I even made eye contact with one of the kitchen service people and motioned asking if I could just grab my order. Maybe it was a language barrier, but they didn't respond to me. I ended up just quickly grabbing my order myself. Can't say much for the interior as I didn't eat in, but looked pretty standard of a set up to me. As for the food, their standard chicken burger isn't bad. It isn't anything special, but not terrible. I was shocked at what they called chicken tenders. They are more like bites of chicken. Definitely not chicken tender size and the breading on mine was still raw. 100% do not recommend.
