Customer Reviews
Only in town for the night and didn't really want another chain dinner. So lucky I found this spot near my hotel. Reviews and recommendations were spot on. I loved the Lemon Rice Soup and just had to try the Broiled Greek Pork Chops with Greek Potatoes. They were both excellent! Would love to come back once day.
I love this place! The service is great and the food is even better. All you can eat lemon rice soup, Romain lettuce salad with fresh veggies and garlic dressing (superb!) and hot fresh dinner rolls and butter topped it off...so good! Be prepared to make some difficult choices because the menu is extensive in a good way. Portions are generous resulting in a great value experience. Will be going back soon. 🤩
TLDR: This place has a nice and homey atmosphere and the food is delicious! Check em out! Hello everyone! I wanted to write a review of this small cafe here! I wanna first state how wounderful the service was. Our waitress was very kind and helpful, and was quick to make sure we had a wounderful time. Albeit, we did come in when there wasn't much people. I know she worked hard to make sure to keep things running and doing her best! Today, we ordered their lunch special: Patty Melt Deluxe, with our side being cittage fries. It comes with their soup: Lemon Rice. Now, I'm a big sucker for Lemon Rice soup and their Lemons are great! You can taste the zestinesa from the lemon mixed with the contents of the slightly salted soup. The rice is perfectly cooked, no hard rice here! Their bread rol
We love trying new family restaurants, so while we were out of town, we decided to give this a try. We expected bland food but were pleasantly surprised! The soup (tomato rosa marina) was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of salt. My lemon pepper pork chop was huge, and the seasoning was AMAZING. It was definitely the star of the show, due to my side of grilled vegetables being lackluster (not cooked long enough, and no seasoning). The rice had a unique lemony taste to it that was good. My husbands food came with gravy that was also unique in flavor but so good! We were also surprised that the dinners came with a dessert, so that was an added bonus! The service was also amazing. Kim was very friendly and helpful. I didn't know what to get, so she was able to give me recommendation
The prices went way up from what the pictures show and the food looks and tastes like it's all from a can. Even the hot sauce tastes like they added something to stretch it. Service was ok though.
