Good place for snacks and beer but the service is lacking and really really slow. The Mac and cheese balls is a must! They are good, especially with an IPA

I'm a fan! Fun and friendly diner that offers a wide variety of food. We got the french toast with nutella, and the chicken panini. The french toast could have been a little crunchier, but it was still very good. I also enjoyed the chicken panini. The chef brought us the food himself and he was charismatic and funny. The restaurant is immaculate for a diner and the staff is great. There is also tons of parking in the back. I'll definitely make another visit here soon.

YUM! Basically the worst thing you could do for your body. I particularly enjoy dirty south-- the cranberry habanero jam is the perfect complement! I like to finish off the night off with a nutty valentine. Unfortunately, the service is super slow, but if you have some time and don't get antsy from the sugar rush like me then this shouldn't be too much of an issue...

We walked in on a Thursday evening without a reservation, and they were able to seat us right away. I ordered the Classic Caesar Salad, which was unfortunately not that classic or Caesar--the dressing was lacking and the leaves didn't seem fresh. The presentation was nice though. For my entree, I had the Terra Pizza which looks rather large but is actually manageable since it's thin crust. If you come with a large appetite, you'll be able to finish. While a little dry, it was overall pretty satisfying. I haven't had much luck with pizza in general (they all seem severely lacking in marinara sauce), so maybe I'm just going through a life change in terms of my taste buds. Service was fantastic, and the ambiance is nice. The walls features French artwork by Lorenzo, which is described somewhere on his website (http://www.lorenzo-eroticolor.com/) as an "attempt to rewrite a mythology of the XXth century situated somewhere between Hollywood's Golden Age, Sexploitation and Pop Art." I think that's the most apt description. Anyway, I'd like to give it another chance, but I'll probably try something different next time.

We get takeout from here fairly often and have eaten in a few times... It's an ok restaurant... I've had better Greek food, but it's edible. The portions are pretty small on the dinner entrees. It's cheap, but that's because you just don't get much food. I would like this restaurant significantly more if the Greek salad didn't suck. I keep ordering it again and again, thinking that surely, this time it won't suck, but I'm always disappointed. I'm honestly not sure what it is about the salad, but I think it's because the ingredients never seem as fresh as I'd like them to, wilty lettuce, soggy onions, etc. I adore Greek salad and this is probably the worst I've had. (I don't know if that's because we usually get it takeout, but even still, I don't think it should be this bad). I think the dressing is a bit too oily too. It's a Greek restaurant, it should have a better Greek salad! We've never had bad service eating in, and I love that the atmosphere is bright and not crowded. I just wish the food was better.

Big fan of Gourdoughs! The mother clucker is delicious. On my recent visit I picked up a Puddin, and it was very sweet. I would go a little lighter on the cream cheese icing, and more pudding. The fresh bananas were a good touch. This location in particular has a bit of parking, I guess more than an average location, but it gets tight. Inside is a bar atmosphere, very packed.
