Had an awesome dinner here! Their gyro was excellent! Lots of meat and their tzatziki was perfect! One review mentioned it was a bit greasy but I really disagree. The meat was amazing and moist. We also had their zeus fries which were really good. They have some picnic tables to eat at or you can do takeout. Excellent meal and we will be back!

I had what has to be hands down the best gyro of my life, it was loaded up with so much meat it was crazy. The owners are both so very kind and friendly and will take the time to interact with you. I would recommend this place to anyone just passing through or far away, and I for one will be back for sure!

We just had lunch at this amazing place in Hopeville. We have passed it a couple of times but today decided to head over and try it out. Well worth the trip. The staff were pleasant and friendly (including their dog Apollo). The food was great/quite tasty. We each had one of the bowls - gyro and chicken. It was non stop visitors while we were there showing it was well liked in the area.

I recently stumbled upon this charming roadside restaurant in a small town, and I can’t stop raving about it! I was greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The star of the show, without a doubt, is their incredibly delicious burgers. Each bite was a perfect harmony of juicy, flavorful beef, fresh toppings, and a perfectly toasted bun. The attention to detail in crafting these burgers is evident, and it’s clear that they take immense pride in their food. But what truly sets this place apart is the outstanding service. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely cares about making your dining experience exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need, and their passion for what they do shines through in every interaction. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this roadside restaurant is a must-visit. It’s a hidden gem that delivers an unforgettable meal and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Five stars all the way!

Absolutely delightful! The staff are personable, the menu is varied while still keeping to a Greek theme, and the fries with Tzatziki and feta are truly delectable. For the amount of food I got, I think they're actually under pricing. $11 for about a pound of fries with a healthy dose of feta and tzatziki, and a can of Coke Zero? That's really good value

We were hungry on a long drive and this popped up like an oasis. My wife had the Gyro Pita which is clearly a thing to get, it was loaded up and she said it was delicious, a bit on the greasy side if you enjoy that. I had the steak sandwich and it was a full 6 oz piece kept intact. They asked about doneness and I said mid rare and it was perfectly tender, cooked well with every bite having the perfect texture. If you pass by, don't hesitate to stop. It's good.
