    This is my Aunt's favorite restaurant when she comes to visit Indianapolis. This is a great place to eat if you have certain dietary restrictions. Not too much salt. The food is good. The menu is so large. They literally have everything. The waitress was such a sweetheart. Great restaurant for family dinners. There's something for everyone.

    A little time capsule with friendly employees and the entire restaurant is very clean. Food is no flare, home style, affordable, and to be straight forward.. very minimally seasoned (which is my preference for breakfast food). I love this place and drive over an hour to come here. It’s very nostalgic and comforting. Our server on Sunday (she was tall and wore a Colts jersey) was just so kind & sweet, respectful, and soft spoken. Food was out quickly and correct. Inhaled the food, paid, and left, loved very second. We will be back!10/10.

    Stopped while driving through the area. Service was good, our waitress was nice, she was efficient. The space itself is a but tired looking, but the food was outstanding. My husband had a gyro, I had the chicken blt wrap. Took a bite or two before the pic, but it was great. Big portions, took half the wrap back to the hotel for later. The potato soup is some of the best I remember.

    Great local restaurant. Friendly service. Fantastic food! Desserts are amazing. Greek pork chops, side salad with Greek dressing and chocolate vanilla cheesecake! All excellent. Highly recommended and I will definitely return.

    I wasn't expecting to have such great service! Our server was Abigail. She was very sweet and kind. She made sure our dinner was enjoyable with a great smile. Our food was on our table within 10 minutes from ordering! And yes the food was just as enjoyable as our service.

    Upon coming into this establishment, we were not given the proper greeting that most establishments would give a guest when entering. We sat at the counter for about five minutes until I had to ask who is taking orders, knowing the waitress seen us when we came in and sat at the end of the counter. Which is normally the protocol for outgoing order, yet nobody tended to us until I said something. So that was a big disappointment for me. The establishment was extremely clean. It was nicely filled. The food was pretty good. The sad part about it is I was told butter and syrup was given to me, and yet I had to ask for the syrup, and when I got back to the room to find out that there was no butter in there, but three containers of Tzatziki sauce for the Gyro & feta omelette. I did get a slight bit of attitude from one of the servers because I requested the condiments, that was a little disappointing as well but overall the breakfast food was good, the bacon club was not trashed it. The atmosphere was nice. Hopefully if we should ever visit again? And, yes I would recommend this place because there are still quality here, I am just sharing my experience as a reviewer doesn’t mean the same will be the same for you, so yes give it a try.

    An overall great diner experience! The food was your average diner food. Not fantastic but not bad. The French toast is thick and fluffy though. The waitress (I believe her name was Bre?) gave me the best service I've ever received at a diner. She didn't let our coffee go 1 inch below the lip before she was back giving us a warmer. She was so kind to a man behind us. It was an older gentleman's birthday and she offered him a piece of cake, whichever he wanted. The inside was clean and the locals were friendly. I wish every diner was like this!
