    Pizza
    Vanessa S.

    We ate with this choice. The prices here are insanely good for the amount of food they give us. Like I mean the pizza is so stuffed with topping. This is definitely worth it. It is hands down the best hummus I've had. The service was good. They were all so kind and welcoming. I loved it. I'm coming back. They slayed.

    Punch card

    If you leave hungry it's your own fault. Food portions are very generous. The subs and sandwiches are packed. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Don't forget to get the punch card. After 6 visits you get a free 12 inch sub.

    The Reuben and fries
    Rae G.

    I've gotten delivery from this eatery for a couple of years, and recently started dining in. It is very local to me and "Jimmy" the owner is frequently on site. The offerings are generally deli sandwiches and pizza. Ever since I started ordering from them I have been overwhelmed by the huge portions. Today I got a Reuben with fries and it covered an entire large plate. My husband got the New Yorker, which was always a favorite of my son's when he lived here. Even my husband could not finish his sandwich in one go. Most of my family got the chips, which are really tasty and seem homemade. They are a sort of thin waffle chip. My other son today got the Greek Burger and my daughter in law got the Chicken Gyro. Again, huge portions. On a previous visit they had a Greek special with chicken and rice. My son has been craving that since then although it hasn't reappeared on the menu when we've been in. The spanakopita, a Greek spinach and cheese filled pastry, is made from Jimmy's mother's recipe. She just passed away recently but Jimmy assures us she taught some of the kitchen staff to make it just as she did. I have had the spanakopita on several visits and it is stuffed full of spinach. That can be good or bad, depending on your affection for cooked spinach. The dining area is quite large as it used to be a nicely appointed Chinese restaurant for many years called Spring Garden and later Le Bamboo Bistro. There is no remnant of either of those previous eateries. This is a vinyl booths, claw and arcade machines, order at the counter family establishment. All of the staff that I have ever encountered are friendly, customer oriented and eager to please. I haven't ever been in for dinner but during the day there is a steady flow of customers and many families. The prices are moderate but to feed a family of 4 today the cost was about $65 for 4 sandwiches and drinks. So about $15 per person. That must be why the portions are so huge. I really wish many places would offer smaller options and charge less. But any place in Virginia that sells alcohol (they sell beer here) has to charge more for food to make up for that provision that food sales significantly exceed alcohol sales. If you are hungry for made to order, huge portions and a casual environment from a locally owned small business, bring your family, friends and your appetite to this Yorktown eatery.

    Greek Nachos
    Christina C.

    This place was really clean and welcoming! The customer service was very cheerful and inviting. You order at the register and seat yourself. I ordered the Greek nachos which were tasty, it had gyro beef/lamb meet with pita triangles, lettuce, tomato, onions and tzatziki sauce. My husband ordered a grilled chicken gyro, that's what I would order when we return because the chicken was seasoned well, and it was really fresh, and juicy! Inside it was kind of like a restaurant/sports bar because it had multiple tv's and tables and booths. Would definitely recommend!

    Grilled Chicken Gyro Sandwich
    Chris P.

    It's a nice Greek style deli. The service was quick and we got our food shortly after ordering. They had tons of options, and also offered meat alternatives if you don't like beef or lamb for your gyro. I tried it with the grilled chicken and it was so good juicy and tender ! The spot is decently sized with some booth and table seating inside. If you like classic Greek gyros and sandwiches give this place a try you won't leave hungry!

    Jimmy, forgive me for not coming in more often and for never reviewing... fresh and flavorful like the first time I stopped by, it's good to see things haven't changed. The chicken gyro was everything I needed. As we walked in, we were very pleasantly welcomed by someone who gave us a quick run down and some recommendations - turned out he was actually off the clock and was heading home for the day, but was kind enough to spare a few minutes for us to make sure we were looked after. Thank you! I loved the homemade waffle potato chips; a crunchy exterior similar to potato chips, few were soft in the middle - except for the larger chips, but they were delicious. I finished them all. The portion was huge. I'm not ashamed. The restaurant area was quiet for a 4pm on a Tuesday, but there were many take out orders being picked up, which very quickly has me adding JDG to my list of take out options, opa!

    Greek salad with chicken
    Abby R.

    Staff, awesome and friendly. Food, delicious and huge portions. Split your meal! When I go I split the greek salad and a sandwich with my mom. We love the New Yorker. It is pastrami and corned beef, spicy mustard, cheese... delicious They have their home made chips which are little waffle fry chips. No need to upgrade to actual french fries.

    Traditional Gyro with House made chips

    My wife and I had heard so much about this place , from the moment we walked through the door I've never felt so welcomed, the food was ABSOLUTELY SECOND TO NONE. If you have a chance to stop by My wife and I HIGHLY recommend it. Super friendly staff ,great food and very relaxed environment. Heck I was so comfortable I felt like it was my restaurant. Can't say enough GREATthings about this place. County's BEST restaurant!

    Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. This was my second time here. The first was trash but…read moreeveryone has an off day so I gave them another chance. Nope. Food came out ice cold. I'm not exaggerating. It came out super quick too so they have to be making it ahead and just letting it sit. I had country fried steak, eggs over medium, toast and home fries and a side of bacon. The home fries and steak were lukewarm, the eggs were literally cold like they sat in the refrigerator, the bacon was also damned close to being that cold. The toast was cold as can be, barely toasted, no butter, not cut. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said there is butter on the table. That's it. She really seemed like it was a bother to have to serve customers at all. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I don't know how this place has any positive reviews at all. I sent my entire meal back but still paid for coffee and the side of bacon (and my sons' meals of waffles and French toast). I didn't want mine remade. Still cost me nearly 50 dollars for this trash, and no offer to make it right other than removing exactly what I sent back. My other and more serious concern is food safety. IF they ARE cooking this ahead and storing it in a way that leaves it cold or room temp, bacteria is a big concern. I'm typing this from the toilet and my stomach is going through it right now. From a few bites of cold food? Maybe.

    I have eaten here previously some time ago, but every time I am in the area the line is outside to…read moreget in with at least a 20 minute wait, often longer. I remembered they have scotch eggs, and while these were small, they were tasty and nicely prepared. My blueberry pancakes were full of plump blueberries. The two with me raved about their choices. The portions were huge. Service was friendly and responsive. The space is small but makes good use of the space with tables, with a small outdoor seating area but it is easy to see why it fills up so quickly, especially on weekends. The food is so good and the price point as expected. It is easy to see why this is such a popular eatery. If I could get in the door when I'm in the area I'd love to be regular!
