It's pretty small, but they have seating both inside and outside. I got the falafel pita with extra tzatziki (which they don't charge extra) and a side of fries. My friend got the chicken pita with tomato orzo soup. My pita was so yummy; it came with lots of veggies and was super refreshing. The sauce was amazing and bountiful. My friend said her pita was great too, but she especially loved the soup. It was very flavorful. My fries were also very good crunchy on the outside with a soft center. I would definitely go again, and hopefully soon.

The chicken is perfectly marinated and grilled with a slight char. The salad includes lettuce, the freshest tomatoes I've ever had in Florida, cucumbers, onion, pepperoncini, Kalamata olives, feta, and a dolmades. They happily allow for "extras" (olives and pepperoncini in my case) with no extra charge. The dressing is light, fresh, tangy... and quite frankly, drinkable! It also includes the most delicious pita (imported from Greece!) and to die for tzatziki! I'm not a lamb fan, but my coworkers got the lamb gyro and raved about it!

We stopped in for lunch after being at the Venice, Audubon Society rookery. (yes you should go…read morethere.) It was a little hard to find in a strip mall, but look for the sign advertising Reuben sandwiches beside an ice cream shop. We were warmly greeted as we came in and told to see it ourselves. We soon had water and placed our orders. We both ordered the special of the day: any hamburger and a side for $10. We both got Patty melts - - I had fries and hubby had onion rings. I asked for my burger to be medium well which it was and hubby wanted, medium rare but it was a little more done than that. There weren't many onion rings, but they were very tasty. The fries were good as well. We took home almost a full burger. It's a nice little diner and you get what you expect you would at an establishment like this.

The burger was one of the best we've ever had, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fries were lightly seasoned with truffle, giving them just the right amount of flavor, with a perfect crunch. The wings were also fantastic. The Cajun style buffalo wings had bold, flavorful spices, and the balsamic glaze was a great complement to the blue cheese wedge, rich and tangy without being overpowering. I tried the Papa's Storm cocktail, and it was dangerously delicious, smooth, well-balanced, and incredibly refreshing. Our server was friendly and attentive, always ensuring our drinks were topped off without us even needing to ask. The ambience is quaint and casual, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Most importantly, the food was very affordable, which made the experience even better. We had an excellent first visit and are already looking forward to coming back!

Actually our very first time here we couldn't get a seat because it it that popular. I love their chicken and dumpling soup. This is THE definition of comfort for to me. It tastes like a quality chicken pot pie with actual goodies, none of this whole farmland of potatoes, carrot, and peas plus some broth and butter and a shred of chicken tail and calling it a "chicken soup." This was a hearty soup with chunks of white meat chicken and soft dumplings. Basically chicken dumpling soup as they say, vs potatoes cube soup. It is a must have. I really did myself a disservice and only got a cup.... on my own vacation after working throughout the entire pandemic on-site. The gulf shrimp platter (I got blackened) absolutely delicious. I love the Bourbon Sriracha sauce and used it as a dipping sauce for my fries. You can also never go wrong with hearty mashed potatoes and their gravy. My fiance got some brisket pork combo (in the entrees section) plus mac and cheese side... so good!! This is a must go to place, and the staff are super pleasant. Zero complaints from me!

I couldn't resist the offer of lightly battered fried chicken livers AND a two piece fried chicken platter w two sides. The livers were very good- right out of the fryer and not heavily battered. I don't know why but it was served with a side of mild buffalo sauce. You could also dab it in some of their homemade BBQ sauces. The dark meat fried chicken was also very good- lightly battered and right out of the fryer. I chose collards and mashed potatoes w gravy. The greens were tender and very tasty. The mashed potatoes were also good. The sides and a square of sweet cornbread rounded out the southern comfort food platter. Beer and wine is served along with sweet teas and soda. The servers were friendly but were slammed going table to table. I thought about a slice of the frozen peanut butter pie to go but bailed on it. My meal was very good. This is the spot where the locals eat.
