    I love this place! In a world of fast food, processed everything and low quality, this place stands above it all. It's a classic take on the American diner, but what I found great was the approach. The home fries were fresh potatoes, no coatings, no grease! The eggs were fresh and fluffy, rye toast was toasted perfectly and delicious. They don't season anything, allowing you to season to taste, which is refreshing these days. On top of it all, what a value for money! The breakfast special included everything but the drink and was only $8.99! Give this spot a try, they are breakfast/lunch mostly, so plan accordingly!

    It's nothing fancy, but is a comfortable place. Most of the clients are over 60. The menu has a lot of what I would consider comfort food. Everything seems clean, the server doesn't seem very friendly, but the reason is probably very busy. I ordered an omelet and home fries, they were well seasoned. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

    I might be over staring this but my girlfriend absolutely loved this place. Atmosphere is an old dinner feel. Felt clean and very wlecoming. People were really nice and attentive. My food was good but not great. I got the "Breakfast Special" I believe. It came with 2 eggs, a nice peice of ham, and some potatoes. Eggs were cooked perfectly, the ham was what you expect, and potatoe were the same. My girlfriend, and why this is 5*, got the "Country Style Breakfast". It came with 2 eggs, potatoes, and Country fried steak loaded with a delicious gravy. She absolutely loved it and when I told her I was thinking I'd give this place 4* she said absolutely not!!! Sooo... yeah, I listened. Next time I'll try something different like biscuits and gravy. Either way was a fun morning and good for with good service in a nice place. Will be back. 5*

    Great small town feel diner with excellent service and tasty food! Service was quick and friendly. I love a place that gives you a refill to go! That's classic service in my book!

    I was searching Yelp for a new place to meet my husband for lunch in Mason and found this one. Wow very impressive place to eat! It is a small hometown feeling diner with great service and great food! Almost like a place you would find in a Hallmark movie! We walked in and was greeted by two smiling waitresses. We were properly seated by one of them and told her we've never been here before and asked what she recommended. She did not hesitate and recommend several different dishes. They have lots of a variety to choose from for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. My husband chose the Veggie Omelette with swiss cheese, hash browns, and whole wheat toast. Their omelettes are made with three eggs. It was so big he could only eat half of it. He really liked it. I had their homemade 5 Way Chili and spaghetti. It was so delicious, you could taste the cinnamon in it as well as the heat it was an awesome combination that made the dish really good. Our son got the cheeseburger and fries, he said it was good. We saw other people's orders and they looked really good as well, especially the open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy! All of our orders came out quick and was nice and hot. We recommend this place and will be back!

Finally she made reservations for Saturday evening (it is recommended because they get super busy). We got there and was greeted by the owner. BTW, was very down to earth. So their menu looked good (Lebanese food). There is so much to choose from and hard to decide. I especially loved their drink menu, especially wines. We ended up ordering: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches Almaza Pilsner My favorite from the appetizers is the eggplant and falafel! Super fresh and the bread that came with it was so good. Even the dipping sauce was amazing. My Shawarma chicken was super delish. You have to put the garlic butter on the rice! It gives it great flavor. My Mr enjoyed his meal as well. We definitely had to get a to go box because there was so much food. But we will look forward the next day to eat it. Overall, the service was great and I loved the experience. We can see ourselves coming back for more! I can see why my best friend loves it here! Highly recommend you try it.

The food was fantastic, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very laid back. We even met the owner who was immensely friendly and welcoming. We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. For weekends, reservations are strongly recommended because they get busy FAST. They're only open for dinner hours too. Their menu is pretty big with a plethora of options to choose from including lots of appetizers, flatbreads, shawarmas, kebabs, falafel, and lots of tasty desserts. Their libations menu was very nice too, with numerous options for beer, wine, and spirits. (Try the Almaza for a crisp and tasty Pilsner) all at great prices. Here's what we had: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches red wine blend Almaza Pilsner Hoegaarden Belgian wit bier They also give you unlimited fresh pita bread with a delicious dipping sauce. Everything was incredible and cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be coming back here again. Unfortunately, this time, we had no room for dessert, but maybe next time.

It was the food we ordered that lacked. Maybe we just made poor choices. As we ordered, we saw many hamburgers come out of the kitchen, and they looked really delicious. We were hoping to find a little healthier fare, though, so even though we were tempted by the burgers and the overwhelmingly positive yelp reviews for the gyros, we went with other items from their menu. Hubby tried a new menu item, which was a chicken salad gyro. He said that the idea and the flavor was fine, but the chicken was really dry. It was not that it lacked sauce, but just that the chicken itself had been overcooked or held warming too long. I went with what they had labeled as a Greek dinner. The description on the menu chalkboard described sautéed onions and peppers along with some rice, pita and choice of meat. I guess I had kind of envisioned a platter with all of those items which could be put together in different combinations, with some colorful crisp veggies like we have had at other Greek/Mediterranean restaurants. When my food came out and I saw it for the first time, I actually said "No, that's not what I ordered." I found out, though, that it is indeed what I ordered, but not what I visualized. It was a bowl with rice at the base. The rice was totally covered by kind of a stewed onion mixture that was a brownish gray. It was entirely covering all of the rice and pieces of gyro meat. It was more like a bowl of stew or thickened French onion soup. The onions no longer had any texture to them as they were totally cooked down. Pretty much just all onions. If there had been peppers in there, I could not recognize any. Maybe they had also been cooked so much that they were unrecognizable. OK, I can eat rice with some stewed onions and bits of meat, so I just dug in. Everything was just all mixed together in one note. There was nothing that was a different flavor or texture in the concoction. It was also kind of unappealing sour, maybe lemon or vinegar? It was OK for the first few bites and I could get through it, but I really was pretty done with it halfway through. The pita slices on the side, were pretty good, but not really what I hoped would be the highlight of the meal. If we come back again, I think we should stick to a burger or gyro.

The flavors were packed, the chicken was…read moretender, juicy, and full of that grilled goodness, and every bite reminded me why Mediterranean food is elite. The entrée salad was simple but perfect -- finely chopped lettuce with a light vinaigrette that tasted fresh and clean. Even the rice was cooked perfectly with just the right seasoning to hit the palate. The cabbage rolls were a standout -- soft, flavorful, and held together beautifully without falling apart. Truly, the kitchen knows what they're doing. Food is a solid 5/5. Now... the vibes. This is where things took a turn. When you walk in, the atmosphere just doesn't feel welcoming. The server didn't offer suggestions -- even after we mentioned it was our first visit -- which was disappointing but not a dealbreaker since we still managed to pick great dishes. The dining room was so quiet you could hear other tables cutting their food, and the music kept cutting in and out, which made things feel even more awkward. The staff wasn't rude, but the energy just wasn't there. Service is a generous 1/5. Would I recommend Sultans? For the flavor -- absolutely. Would I dine in again? Probably not, at least not until the atmosphere matches the quality of the food. So overall, I'm giving this place a 3.5 out of 5, and that score is solely carried by the incredible food, not the dine‑in experience. In the meantime due to the vibes I got we will be looking for somewhere different unfortunately. Skip the coffee you will see in the pictures on my black coffee.
