Really good what I would deem "plate specials." Salmon picatta, chicken enchiladas, meatloaf all on point. In particular with the first two, the sauces are unusually good. Vegetable quiche as well is a standout. Have been going here since the late 90s, through all of their restaurant layout iterations. They really try to introduce new things - from dinner to live music - to patrons. Owner is typically onsite and working like a dog. Worth a try, folks!

Had a good time with live music guest, Mike Darnell. My wife and I ordered Trio salad, mozzarella sticks and salmon, we split each plate. The trio salad filled us up but all the food was very good. We will go back for more.

I was interested to try because the photos and reviews were really good. Got the chicken gyro wrap and it was laughable. Chicken, onions, two dainty tomato pieces (also I asked for no onions because I cannot eat them but alas). The chicken was not seasoned, pita bread was soft but nothing special. Tzatziki was the only redeeming part. I can make better gyros at home. Won't be going again.

Kojak's has been in the area since the 70s. They serve a mix of American and Mediterranean cuisine. I was first introduced to this place after I got hired from my company and got to eat lunch with the other managers and directors. It's nice cause now it's a tradition I do with our new hires after a day of orientation. I've tried a few dishes, but I gravitate toward their avocado BLT on french bread. The bread is nicely toasted and still soft inside. There's plenty of bacon and avocado. Their crinkle fries are good, but it's the seasoning they use that adds a nice touch. You can ask for extra seasoning on the side. Other people have ordered soups, the gyro plate, and something homey like meatloaf. One of my coworkers is vegetarian, so it's nice that they have a falafel sandwich and other options. Many people seem to go here for lunch in between their work day. There's enough tables and chairs and some booth seats. Sometimes they are out of a certain type of soda or the ice machine is broken, but they do keep a bucket of ice or let you pick a canned soda of what's out.

I called at 10:40, do you have any bagels. "Oh, yes. But we stop selling breakfast at 10:30," can I get a bagel?? " no it's after 10:30. Strike 2 on this place, not giving it a third try.

I live nearby and wish I would have tried Kojak’s sooner. Great food with healthy (but yummy) options at reasonable prices. It will be a staple for us going forward!

Went for breakfast on a Saturday. Service was slow and food was mediocre at best. Fine food it is not.

The food is very good and tasty. The chicken alfredo and the enchiladas are awesome items here.

I haven't been here in years, but heard about their bagels so we decided to stop by with my family for breakfast. Great bagels, yummy breakfast, lovely atmosphere. Seems newly renovated, and the guy playing multiple instruments created a relaxing vibe. We'll be back!Kid-friendliness: The bagel guy gave my son a mini bagel, and the guy playing the mandolin played wheels on the bus for us. They are so welcoming to families.
