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

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.

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

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 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
