So far, I've had the short rib mac n cheese, steak and cheese, spring fling smoothie and the Mykonos smoothie. The mac n cheese is decent; it's creamy with a crust. The steak and cheese is filled with enough meat and love that they use two cheese. The smoothies are on the tart side and not overly sweet. The thick cut fries are perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper. The service is friendly and efficient. The cashiers are very knowledgeable of the menu. The space is clean and feels welcoming. No pictures yet since I finished eating without making a review. Will be back.

The salad is always crisp & fresh, and the meat has always been moist. I love that you can customize everything to your liking, from building your own bowl to choosing a light or heavy pour on the dressing. They have a great selection of toppings, dressings, and proteins, including plenty of plant-based and dairy-free options, making it perfect for anyone with dietary needs. The portion sizes are solid and the prices are pretty reasonable for the high quality you receive. While service can sometimes be a bit slow, it is only because it gets super busy during the 2-hours around lunch. Easily solved by ordering ahead. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. The restaurant itself is bright, open, and clean, and there's an outdoor patio when the weather permits.

I went with the grape leaves as my side and grabbed a Smartwater. Simple and a solid value. Let's start with the pita, because I'm a texture nut and this thing was perfect, slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The gyro itself was packed, literally spilling out with filling, and was super flavorful. I'll admit I went in expecting the typical lamb/beef, so the pork caught me off guard. Turns out after doing some reading on the inter-webs, pork is actually the authentic Greek preparation and the lamb/beef is the more Turkish/American take on it. Either way, one bite and I was a convert. The grape leaves were everything you want them to be; briny, punchy, and packed with filling. No complaints there. As for the ambiance, another reviewer put it best: "I wouldn't take my first date here." Fair enough. But for a quick, no-fuss lunch? It was perfect. Between 12 and 1 this place was absolutely jamming, with barely a seat to spare, which should tell you something. Not to mention I heard the staff greet many people by name. I'll be back, and next time I'm bringing my partner. She loves Greek food and this place deserves a proper visit.

When this place first opened, I decided to try something new and I was very disappointed. Customer service wasn't that great, took them awhile to ackowledge me. The pizza was disgusting, no taste, no flavor. It tasted like a frozen pizza from the supermarket with canned sauce reheated. I wanted chicken fingers and fries also and they only have pizza. No options whatsoever! Never going here again, what a waste of money. read more

I recently ordered the buffalo chicken and chicken fajita pizzas and was extremely disappointed with the quality. The chicken on both pizzas tasted terrible and was far from fresh. The overall flavor of the pizzas was unsatisfactory and did not meet my expectations. I would not recommend this restaurant at all. That was my first and last time ordering from this restaurant. read more
