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.7/29/2019This was a pleasant surprise. Clean and cute, service was A1, food was outrageously delicious and so unique.

It exceeded all expectations! They brought grilled pita and homemade hummus to the table, and I hate hummus, but I LOVED theirs! It was delicious! My daughter (the pickiest eater alive) had the salmon, rice, and spinach and she couldn't stop eating! I had the Seafood Linguine in white and it was amazing! The seafood was fresh and on point! Our waitress Mary totally rocked! I can't wait to go back for breakfast tomorrow read less

They also have a Texas toast burger that is to die for. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu read less

I got the Texas BBQ burger and it was delicious. Although they are only open until 9pm, it is worth getting out of the house early for. I've been staying at OC every summer and this is by far one of the best places to eat. read less

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

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 Klein7/05/2020
