Absolutely blown away by the service and food. Lauren waited on us, and her smile and personality on top of the delicious food are the reasons my husband and I will eat here again.

This is a great family restaurant! Beautifully restored and decorated, great service, good prices, and the food is awesome! Had a gyro and fries. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the veggies were crisp and fresh.

This is a decent egg salad sandwich. Great consistency, good mayo levels. Could use more salt and a pinch more mustard… and I always wish we had some diced white onion and/or diced celery in the salad itself. But overall it ate well; too many times I’ve bitten into an egg salad sandwich and 80% of it spilled out the other side. This is a very important factor into my rating. Egg salad 3/5. Adding a star to the review for the wonderful staff and atmosphere.
