They offer a good range of sandwiches and you can customize them to your liking. I almost got the Chicken Parm but they didn't have mozzarella, which I found to be a bit odd and disappointing. However, my Chicken Teriyaki was yummy! There's plenty of seating and you can help yourself to the salad bar while you wait, especially if there's a bit of a line. Solid spot!

It's called The Alex and it's a combo of the Italian and Combination sandwiches, having ham and turkey added in. Bursting with puckery dill pickles relish, tangy onions, chunky tomatoes, creamy cheeses, all the meats, a perfect amount of olive oil & seasonings, all tucked into a super soft French roll - it's what sandwich dreams are made of! We got ours to go, but there were plenty of indoor tables for those who wish to linger. Parking lot for a few cars as well as street parking.

On my way to Gloucester for whale watching, this Lebanese fast food stall was right across from the…read morepier. Markouk is the name of their special flatbread, which is interesting. Steak Kabob Wrap: I ordered the medium well, and it was noticeably overcooked. My colleague who ordered the medium also well agreed But regardless, the freshly grilled steak was still quite aromatic. The ingredients were all fresh; the rich and creamy hummus, the sweet and sour tomatoes, and the crisp and refreshing cucumber were all wrapped in the markouk. Markouk flatbreads are grilled daily, thin, smooth, and chewy, much better than pita or lavash in my first impression. Chicken Kabob Wrap: Their signature dish. The chicken breast was still juicy. The owner is very familiar with the whale watching boat schedule and will tell you if you have time to eat before boarding. It has a 4.9 rating on Google Maps, but the food isn't nearly as good as it seems; after all, it's just a wrap, and it probably benefits from the whale watching reputation.

The atmosphere…read moreis cozy, welcoming, and somehow always feels like the perfect place to slow down and catch up over incredible food. We always sit out on the patio with the most perfect view of the sea, which makes the whole experience feel even more magical...especially in the warmer months. We always order the hummus, mocktails, and the TRUFFLED WILD MUSHROOM & SPINACH CAVATELLI ....which honestly deserves its own fan club. It's rich, comforting, earthy, and absolutely unforgettable every single time. We also tried the fish and chips recently and they were SO good. The fries were perfectly crisp on the outside while still soft in the middle...exactly how they should be. We had the chance to meet Carlo, the owner, and he was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience feel even more personal and special. Everything at Yella feels thoughtful and beautifully made. It's one of those places that turns a simple lunch or dinner into a memory.

It was raining when we stopped by for lunch, so we couldn't enjoy the gorgeous outdoor seating that looks out onto Western Harbor, but the restaurant's interior is charming, too - bright, casual, comfortable - with windows looking out onto the Harbor. My mom, who is vegan, enjoyed their Moroccan Shakshouka (roasted vegetables, quinoa, chickpea, jalapeno, tomato sauce, cilantro, and grilled bread - she just removed the egg and feta). I loved their Bouillabaisse (seafood broth, shrimp, mussels, fresh fish, coconut milk, and rice) and my glass of white wine. The service was great, and we just really enjoyed our lunch at Yella!

The food was incredibly fresh. We ordered Horiatiki Salad, Bougatsa, Tsoureki French Toast, fresh pita and tzatziki, and everything was phenomenal. One thing that really stood out was the French toast. It was topped with fresh diced fruit, a pistachio sauce, Nutella chocolate drizzle, and real maple syrup. I've honestly never had French toast like that before. It was unbelievable. The service was great, and the whole experience was excellent. I'm already looking forward to coming back so I can try more of the regular menu.

After we finished eating, I couldn't help but stand in line to try their lemonade here! The lemonades are $5.95 a pop & we ordered 3 of them. Tasted GREAT! I did not find it to be too sweet and not too sour, just right. The wait to order was a bit long since there was only one cashier & she was walking back and forth from the kitchen to the pick-up window & back to the ordering window lol. I would get this again & perhaps try their food options!
