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.7/29/2019I decided to eat here while on vacation after seeing a line form outside the restaurant every night.

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

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

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 Klein7/05/2020Great gyro Went for lunch and had a great gyro, and maybe the best French fries in the city.

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

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

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.

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 lessJackie K.9/16/2019We love this place. We dined here twice for dinner during our four night stay.

Great pita too and nice servers one night Penelope and another Arianna. We always will go to Yianni's when we are in OC. Jerry at the door is always great too...
We have seen him each time working long days during the last three seasons we visited. Love this place! read lessTracy S.8/27/2019
