The food was pretty good. I got Buffalo wings, and they were better than quite a few others that focus on wings. Plus, the size of the wings was nice. They staff were very nice, especially for my first time.Very simplistic appearance. But, clean!Parking: There is not a lot of parking close by. I had to park in a nearby roadside spot.

place an order for pick up around six got there at 5:50 the food had already been sitting there for an unknown amount of time.Five minutes took me to get the Food home the meat was like warm The french fries were not warm, and the cheese was warm at best. Not sure how you get away with Keeping orders sitting on a cart in the middle of your dining room. You definitely could do better.They’re heating boxes readily available at all restaurants supply stores think about getting one. McDonald’s can figure out how to keep your food hot , so can youDefinitely will not Ordering off-line again.

The place has low consideration for providing good food options to soldiers. They get paid by the government but don't want to serve soldiers with any of the good options from the menu. If you are a soldier or veteran, you can mostly expect a step mother's treatment & that also varies based upon your skin color.I have experienced the same treatment three times. At first, I thought it was a mistake. The second time, the cashier was not willing to listen to the order being placed. The third time, the item was not on the menu for me as they mentioned that there was a shortage of food in their store but the same menu item was available to the next person standing in line.Some of the staff members are really good but there are odd fellows among them. Unless they are removed, I am sure other customers will experience the same thing. If that odd person who acts as though he owns the place does not change, then it's going to be bad luck running your business for long.Vegetarian options: Pathetic & minimal options. Run away if they suggest anything is good from the veg. options

Excellent food that is hearty and wholesome. You can eat until very full. Good value too. This is our neighborhood place and we eat their food often. 100% consistency.

Orders online. Had to wait ten minutes after the expected pick up time. Food ice cold. They only offered gift cards and wound not refund my money. And the tomatoes. Yikes. Also. The prices are out of control. Hopefully they go out of business soon.

Despite being a bit pricey for a counter-serve Greek restaurant, the food wasn't impressive. I've had much better Greek elsewhere. The atmosphere wasn't to my liking either, unexpectedly noisy, maybe due to a bad music selection. I wish there was a vestibule or something so each time the front door opened, we wouldn't freeze.

We come regularly to highland park to visit family but only recently discovered this place. A huge hit with my big hard to please family. Everyone found something they loved. I personally went for the kale Caesar - first as a wrap with salmon and then as a salad with shrimp when we went back the very next day ?. Good to know there is a quick, yummy solution when we need to feed our crowd.

I walked in and the ambiance was still. No music. I ordered Mac and cheese for my son the cheese sauce tasted like powder. The food was overpriced for what you get. The spinach pie was awful. I was really hoping for delicious good. The Greek potatoes though were delicious. I see raving reviews from others so maybe I made the wrong selections. All in all I regret trying this place. I gave higher stars not to ruin their rating because clearly others do enjoy this place, it’s just not for me.Parking: They might have their own lot but I parked on the streetKid-friendliness: Few kids options available. Over priced

People just simply avoid this restraunt at all costs. I walked in hungry. Placed a simple food order. The man at the register totally screwed up the food order. Leaving me with the complete opposite. Of what I had ordered which is truly unacceptable. In addition to this the food that I was served. Was greasy and nasty as it can get. No different then if I would have ordered food. From a two star rated greasy spoon diner.
