Arrived a little after 1pm. 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

I got exactly what I was hoping for. At 7 am this place is empty enough that I don't feel guilty sitting and reading for an hour or two while I sip the good coffee and enjoy an omlett. The seating inside and out is great, I appreciate having air conditioning, and the staff are I nredibly friendly.
I went with the grab and Swiss, which was huge, and tasted great. The hash browns are incredible, with the sliced (not shredded) potatoes browned perfectly.
I saw a few people come in to pick up take-out orders as well.
I'll definitely be back. read lessTom L.7/29/2019Love it here. Everyone can find something. The hummus plate to start is fabulous. It gets busy but worth the wait.

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.

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

So this year, (the year of COVID) we were so happy to hear they were open for takeout. The food was as delicious as ever. We ordered through their online order system. The food was ready on-time. When I went in to pay, I felt very safe. They require masks and had a glass between me and the cashier.
When we got back to our place, the food was hot and delicious. I got the lamb & beef gyro. The pita wrap was perfect. Not a drop of sogginess which says how lean their meat is. We can't wait to go back for more! read lessKen Klein7/05/2020Try the shore favorite! Everything is so fresh and delicious! The place is super spotless too.
