What's this that you don't pay your artists??? Alexz Johnson performed there in May & you still haven't paid her ticket sales. Pay her & keep paying artists that perform there or there will be more one star reviews coming your way...

If you're thinking of performing there- DON'T!! they don't pay their artists and cut off all communication. If you support independent music- DON'T go there as your favourite artist won't see their money.

Was really enthusiastic when we walked in, because these Greek family diner types are getting rare. We sit down, chatting, laughing, looking at the menu. And then things went left. A tallish, thin, dark-haired, heavy makeup wearing, unbelievably sullen chick walks by the table and grumbles "Somethin to drink?" To which no one at the table responded because it didn't seem she was addressing anyone, just muttering ill-naturedly to the air in general. This heifer is apparently too accustomed to staring at her device (as evidenced by the permanent 45 degree bend in her scrawny neck), or maybe she's just really used to being a witch, or perhaps the appearance of my smiling, friendly family was for some mysterious reason so offputting to her that actually REGARDING us, not to mention maybe, oh, I dunno, greeting us and introducing herself as our server, was just not within her skillset. Buzzkilled our whole vibe, and now we don't even want to eat there. She never once looked at any of us, even when grumbling "Gonna be a while," before walking away. I don't spend money where I'm not appreciated, much less where I am aggressively unwelcomed. We decide to get up and leave, whereupon the older man (owner? manager?) happily waves good-bye like "Good riddance." Mm hmm. Then things start to clarify for me. Okay, lookit, a snowflake I'm not, but I know "Your kind ain't welcome here," when I see it. Just another example of the undereducated, unsophisticated southwest side suburban douchebags laboring under their collective delusion that they're superior to...well, anyone. It would be laughable if it weren't so passe. (Go head, Tinley Parker, look that word up. We'll wait.) So anyhoo, I can't comment on the food. Decor seemed nice. But if you ask me? They're racist as all outdoors and employ snotty mean tiktok zombies with funky attitudes. Oh, and in case the "waitress" is reading this? Went to another restaurant and tipped the server more than 3 times the amount of the check cuz he was just that awesome. So I'm sure he thanks you for being such a witch.

We have been here many times over the years..Until today. We ordered $30 worth of dinner for two to go. And maybe I should have taken it as a sign not to order when the girl hung up on me the first time I called. My husband's dinner was fine mine was not. After a 12 hour shift he picked up dinner for us on his way home. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet. It was inedible. There was about five cups of ham maybe a piece of cheese and it was terrible. I started out by picking out or at least trying to pick out all of the ham so that I can eat some of the maybe what was left egg and I just couldn't do it I gave up after about 10 minutes of trying to pick out 64,000 pieces of ham out of a small omelette. After I decided it was an inedible and after spending $12 plus I decided to call the girl at the desk who seemingly put me on hold for one minute I don't know who she was speaking to said what was their policy that we had to bring the food back in in order for a refund I said my husband just worked a 12 hour shift and I don't drive at the moment...she said sorry that's our policy and was not not very kind. I told her well please make sure you let your kitchen know that they're doing a disservice to the customers because making food like this is an edible and we won't be bringing our business here anymore. I'm sure they don't care but sorry they're not going to get any more money for out of us and .....it wasn't about getting money back it was about letting them know they're making food that people just can't eat.

I ate there on Opening Day, been there many more times since. Still your "Ho - Hum" Greek Restaurant. You Guy's need to Re-Do your Menu, Spice it up some. Put a few exciting dishes in there. "Please"

Met up with some family here while in form out of town. The parking lot was spacious with plenty of empty spots available. We were seated immediately, and the staff took our orders promptly. It took a while for the food to come out, but, it WAS pretty busy. The restaurant was noisy, and every table was full. When the food came out, I was less than impressed. The flavor was mediocre, and the appearance of the food lackluster. For what the menu pricing shows, I would have expected better.

I love this place and it's old school look. My friends and I really enjoy this restaurant. It's family style and very friendly and welcoming staff. I've eaten many meals there and enjoyed them all. Especially the chicken and rice soup, gyros plate, spinach pie, omelettes and Greek toast. It's a nice place to socialize and popular with the seniors, including myself. Generous portions of food and I usually take some home. A rare gem of a family restaurant that I hope continues on. If I could I would eat there more often. This place is awesome. Love it.

staff too busy on their phones rather than concentrating on the customers they have. Bare hands used to take the wrap off the grill! table water was ordered but never arrived. they need to clean up their act.

I haven't been here in years. I really liked it back then. I stopped in today. It's not the same. The food and service are no longer what I remembered. Too bad, I won't be back.

We came in on a Sunday at 1:30pm, busiest time and day of the week. The hostess was courteous and prompt. E waited less than 5 minutes with a full house. Our server Bella was awesome. She is friendly and attentive. And overall great at her job. Food was delicious and came out hot and quickly. The entire staff were working hard. Beautifully orchested chaos. We love this restaurant. Definitely recommend.
