I love everything from the friendly and polite staff, the incredible food,the cleanliness down to the decorations! They serve incredibly delicious and generous food portions. I usually order egg whites bacon and home fries for breakfast and and iced sweet tea. Ive had the beef gyro platter (with fries) and I've had a chicken Cesar salad for lunch many times. Every time I get my food I enjoy it hot and fresh. I have never complained once about a thing. I appreciate the design of the restaurant it makes a very inviting comfortable place to gather and eat. During the holidays they get festive and decorate accordingly. It makes it a fun environment to be in. There is a yiannis cafe location at the ocean city aquatic and fitness center too....where I always order a banana almond milk with peanut butter shake after my workout or a chicken Cesar salad and even here they keep things orderly and fresh. The cooking oil they use is light and delicious you can purchase a bottle or gift it it's a gear Xmas present for people who love to cook and eat clean! Yiannis is a 10/10!!! read less

Chicken Souvlaki Platter (2 Skewers)
Served w/ greek salad, rice pilaf, grilled pita bread & tzatziki was super amazing. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. One bite into the greek salad and a burst of freshness and crunch entered my mouth. This place is a Wow! I'll be back for sure. read less

The place is often pretty crowded which sucks for getting a table right away but the food is excellent Greek food! You have to come here if you're in Ocean City. The hummus and pita bread are great as is all the Greek sandwiches and fries. The salads are great with olives, cheese and olive oil. read less

Steak was cooked medium rare perfectly, the mashed potatoes were flavorful, veggies were delicious, and shrimp were also fresh and yummy. Couldn't ask for more. The dish was perfect. And definitely a large amount of food, too. I saved half for lunch tomorrow! Still thinking about those mashed potatoes! Good ones are hard to come by.
I've also had a similar dish here with the lamb chops with sauteed spinach, mashed potatoes, and veggies. Also very good. The only thing I didn't like here was the hummus. It tasted like it was missing something and it wasn't very creamy. I will forgive them because everything else was so good.
My boyfriend got the California wrap and it looked incredible. He said he really enjoyed it. He opted for the Greek salad for a couple bucks more and they gave him such a large portion! We were both very happy. Looking forward to eating here again soon! read less

Awesome food Sevrice and food were good, Outside seating, Plenty of food--you won't need lunch after having breakfast here. Well worth it.

Looked up restaurants in the neighborhood and this came up as a pretty solid staple, so we figured we'd check it out Memorial Day for dinner before returning home. What a great meal to end the long weekend.
I was the only one kicking myself for not ordering what the other 3 got, which was the grilled shrimp kebabs over rice and a side of Greek salad. I took a bite of my BF's shrimp and it was AMAZING. Huge pieces, perfectly seasoned, cooked and paired so well with the fluffy and flavorful rice.
I opted for the Greek burger with tzatziki and it was fantastic. A little messy as the bun was very buttered, but the flavors were wonderful. I got a Greek salad on the side, as well, instead of fries, and it was a nice reprieve, plus chock full of feta and delicious house dressing.
Prior to the meal, they brought out warm pita and homemade hummus. Everything was great from start to finish, including our friendly server. Very affordable. Would 100% return if I'm in the area. read less

It's always quality, consistent, and super fresh. My favorites are the Cobb salad and a Waldorf chicken salad wrap. They also have a Texas toast burger that is to die for. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu read less

The crumbled feta and the vinaigrette were so fresh and good. It was a decent size salad for dinner & I couldn't even finish it. This restaurant is a great place if you are a vegetarian or are dining with someone who is. Staff and service were great. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. read less

Everything is fresh and everyone is friendly! We were accommodated for our larger group of six. There was a huge variety of options which made it easy to decide our meals. A kind waitress came and took our orders. We were immediately handed our drinks and 2 bowls of fresh, hot pitta and homemade hummus. We ordered 3 dips with pita- eggplant, hummus, and tzieke, all were tasty. My son got calamari and flounder. He liked them both. I took my parents and the both loved their salads. My husband got moussaka and said it was excellent! I got a California chicken wrap, all I can say is great! We were happy and satisfied with our experience and will definitely be coming back! P.S. the host Jerry is great! read less

On a busy day just phone that order in, cruise by on your bicycle, and pick up that delicious breakfast sandwich to go. Bagels always on point. The hardest part is not tearing into that baby on the ride home. Patience is a virtue and so forth. read less

About a 15 minute wait. We started out with the hummus dip for a starter. The group was made of four people a little kid. Diner 1 had the chicken salad sandwich, said it was great. Diner 2 had the BLT, lots of bacon & very ripe tomatoes. Diner 3 had the chicken Cesar salad just the right amount of dressing. Diner 4, myself had the cheeseburger, it was delicious. The two out of four meals came with fries, but that was plenty for the whole table. The little kid ate off all the plates!! Decor was nice! The service was great as well. Will definitely go back, I wish they had falafel on the menu, maybe they did and I missed it. read less
