    Eggplant rollatini and lasagna
    Gwendolyn C.

    Oh my goodness, what a hidden gem. The food is fresh, homemade, and more than yummy. The owners are a delight. The husband is very personable and jovial. He makes sure he talks to everyone and has lots of funny anecdotes to tell. He said his wife does all the cooking, and you can tell she does it with love. Absolutely amazing restaurant. I had the eggplant rollatini and my husband had lasagna, and both dishes were delicious. The only bad thing is we were just visiting for the weekend, but if we are ever back in that area, we will definitely eat there again. You are greeted when you walk in the door, and it just gets better from the moment you walk in.

    Dolmades-rice and beef filling, served warm.

    Read the reviews... I found every positive comment to be true. The food is delicious and fresh. Handcut fries made in house, the owner told us, and served piping hot. The service is prompt and friendly, with personal attention from the owners (even though they appeared short staffed, and were running their feet off.) They seem to genuinely appreciate the customers. It's clean. Reasonably priced. We had the Spanikopita, Cheese pie, Dolmades, Cabbage rolls, and gyros.. we ate every bite. Took a slice of chocolate cake and yummy baklava home. THAT CHOCOLATE CAKE-!!! As another reviewer stated, "I'm still thinking about it!" Before now, the best chocolate cake I ever had was years ago, from McKenzie's bakery in New Orleans. This was reminiscent of that. Huge slice, enough for two. Just fabulous. I would return for the cake alone, but I will try other menu items to be sure!

    Cabbage rolls. So good!

    I absolutely love Yiayia's! I went in for dinner alone while I was in town for work. I had some really good cabbage rolls and a well prepared Greek Salad. The service was great, and the ambiance is very comfortable. I felt like I was being welcomed into someone's home for dinner. The best part was talking with Santino, the restaurant owner. He came to my table to see how I liked everything, and we ended up talking for about 20 minutes. I heard about his childhood in the Greek Islands, his history in the restaurant business for the last 37 years, and lots of stuff in between. I enjoyed it so much, I brought a work friend back for lunch two days later. This will be a regular stop for me when I am in Madison. Country YiaYia's. They will make you feel at home.

    Roasted Chicken
    Virginia R.

    Greeted immediately and shown to a booth! I had the Roasted Chicken. Delish! The flavoring was excellent! It came with potatoes and a greek salad. Room was perfect for small groups and parties with big numbers! There were 2 tables each having 15 or more people. There were 2 of us. The food came out quickly. The service was above par!! A delight and pleasure!

    Orzo

    The food has always been very good. We been about 10 times. Don't miss the side of orzo.

    The Family Platter app was fantastic.

    YiaYia's is the best in Greek food. I usually get the Gyro and fries but have also tried the Moussaka.

    Love it!!...they have really good fried patriot and the customer service is always good!!!read more

    First visits leave lasting impressions. The pan trout was highly recommended by a friend. I…read moredecided to try it out for lunch with a family member visiting from out of town. The ambiance and service weren't exactly as expected. Orders must be placed before sitting down and you take your own order number to the table. Beverages are self service. We ordered four whole pan trouts with fries and a side of okra. The fish initially looked amazing. The top two pieces of fish were as expected. However, underneath were disappointing thick big honks of fish. Actually, two huge fish were cut into half and counted as four whole fish. I was immediately turned off seeing those big hunks of fish buried under the desirable and scrumptious looking whole fish. When asked if everything was okay, an honest response was given. The excuse was that due to the size of the fish, it would cost more to get all four whole. What a poor excuse! If it cost more, charge more and give what's advertised on the menu or at least an option; not a surprise. The menu should have stated: two whole fish and pieces equivalent to four. The whole fish was very good, seasoned and fried to perfection. However, we could not eat the hunks. We didn't expect to see anything but whole fish, as described on the menu. If I return, I would only order one whole fish with hopes of receiving just that. I would never waste my money on the four whole fish listed on the menu, since it is not as described and expected.
