The Manager (Mike) was also very friendly. This will be on our stop to or from GWL in the future. Not pictured is the Chicken Lemon Rice Soup which was SO good! ”
“ Such a great local restaurant! We came for breakfast and my kids had teddy bear pancakes. I had an egg white and veggie omelet. Everything was great!! Highly recommend. I can't wait to try their Greek menu! ”
“ Headed back from Naples on a Friday night we were looking for a bar with some food and tv's to watch a game. My wife found this place on Yelp and it was a gem. Great customer service, vibes, and food, couldn't ask for more. All of the food is made fresh and the owner Mario puts in a lot of hours to make sure this place runs smooth, even came over to greet us once he heard we were on vacation from Connecticut. We also appreciate the bartender Barry who was passionate about the place and gave us some good menu recommendations. I opted for the Greek Chicken Pita served with Lemon chicken soup and my wife got the Fried Chicken Sandwich which also came with house made chips freshly made as they were still hot. The food was spectacular, very generous portions. The other unique thing about this place is they have a section of the restaurant with some booths that resemble a small little diner. So in the end it appears to be a sports bar/diner. Amazing concept! ”
