About

A hip update on a classic Greek diner merging Greek, Italian, and Southern comfort food influences—the menu features traditional American diner staples like burgers, dogs, and Southern-style chicken. Patio seating is available for warm weather, and the venue maintains a cozy old-school vibe with attentive service, though vegan options are currently limited. Prices are moderate, with dishes like fried bologna sandwich and chicken tips receiving praise; some recent reviews note a decline in quality compared to earlier years.
