Great Food, Great Service, and a Relaxed Atmosphere…read more I had a really enjoyable experience here. The pretzel with cheese was delicious, and Sammy recommended the salmon, which was excellent. Sammy was especially great--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her customer service really stood out. It's refreshing to have someone who takes pride in making sure customers have a good experience. More restaurants could take a page from Sammy's book because good customer service can make just as much of a difference as good food. Sammy made the visit feel personal and comfortable without being overbearing. The restaurant wasn't too busy when I visited, which made for a nice, chill atmosphere. The 80s music was also a great touch and added to the relaxed vibe. Between the food, atmosphere, and especially the service, this was a great experience. I'd definitely come back!

The only reason it caught my eye was because our tax preparer was just down the street. It was obviously well loved by the locals after reading their great reviews and seeing a full parking lot. And this was on a Wednesday. We only had time for a quick bite, ordering nothing out of the ordinary. A quickie breakfast of sausage, scrambled eggs, and pancake, were all we had, but everything was nicely done. The pancake was big, light and airy, served with a carafe of warm syrup and a huge scoop of butter. The scrambled eggs were moist and fluffy, the sausage was basically a Farmer John sausage patty that was properly warmed but not overcooked, and very good tasting. My only criticism was the coffee being too thin for my liking, but keeping our coffee mugs filled was something they definitely did well! The service was wonderful. They knew we were in a rush, and handled us with TLC the entire 35 minutes we had. What I do know is, I will be looking forward to our next tax appointment, hah, knowing our morning will start off right here. Next time...chicken fried steak, or maybe a bowl of hearty homemade soup, y'all!

I got the buffet and to my shock I found 3 flies in the beans after I'd sat down. Not small gnats but standard house flies. I brought it to Attention of the server and he of course apologized. Wife got a breakfast off the menu but by this time she'd eaten half of it and I sent mine back without a re-order as I was pretty much grossed out. Wife didn't want to finish her meal and was pretty much grossed out as well. While we sat there, I watched to see if the servers would pull the refried beans off the food line and replace it but sadly, nope. I figured since we are loyal/regular customers they would have at least offered to comp my wife's meal since she didn't eat it all but nope. You should treasure your customers. Even if they'd offer a comp meal I wouldn't have accepted it. The fact that they didn't tells me they need a lot of work on their customer satisfaction. Was fun while it lasted.

Insanely good sandwich. Like out of control. Happy that the bread on this one is not from Village anymore. This is better, and the staff here - dude in front, and others - all smiled, all were pleasant, dude gave me sandwich before I paid, as I was handling a USbank issue while ordering. 10/10 service. 10/10 food. 10/10 for being people over policy, and passionate about their business, character, store, and food (proof is in the pudding, well, in the sandwich!) Will be back. Will recommend. Was excited and was totally impressed. A++++++ - A few days later .... Additionally - came back , pre ordered sandwich, due at front remembered me and my order, and was again, 218/10. A++++++ Wildly good. Thanks HM's! Amazing sandwich. Genuinely. Wow. See you soon for round 3 and so many more! Everyone should try this cauliflower sandwich - it's delicious. Straight up. Factually. Inarguably. read more

We started with the falafel balls, dolmades, and hummus with pita bread. All three appetizers were delicious! What a great way to start our meal. They definitely set the bar high. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken gyro and the beef kabob plate. The chicken gyro was pretty good! Great flavors, although the chicken was a little on the dry side. I would personally give the chicken gyro 4 stars. Now, the beef kabob was a different story. Flavorful, tender, and absolutely delicious! My only complaint? THE PRICE! At $25.99, I expected a little more than just ONE beef kabob with a generous amount of rice, salad, and pita bread on top. My wife and I LOVE Mediterranean food, and we've been to plenty of places that offer two meat selections with rice, salad, AND hummus for around $25. So compared to what we're used to, this plate definitely felt overpriced. But here's the thing. GOOD FOOD IS GOOD FOOD! Despite my complaints about the portion sizes and pricing, I couldn't bring myself to give this place anything less than 5 stars. The quality of the food, the delicious flavors, and those amazing appetizers really won us over. Would I love to see more meat for that price? ABSOLUTELY! But would I come back? WITHOUT A DOUBT!
