A friend and I stopped in for breakfast. I ordered "fresh squeezed" orange juice. Anybody that has ever squeezed their own knows bottled when they drink it. I had gravy and biscuits, she had eggs Benedict. Both were poor at best. The gravy had no flavor and the hollandaise sauce was incredibly bland. The "ham" was too chewy and her eggs were over cooked.

Service was horrific. We barely had our order taken, and after that we had to fight TWO waitresses for one to-go box! It was so bad we didn't even leave a penny tip.

The decor is mediocre. The place looks like it should be in a hick town in southern Illinois. They still had Chrismas lights/decorations up in mid-January. The lighting didn't help make it a charming place, either.    [25 Mar 2006 16:48:02]

Not bad!
I live in another state, but have eaten here quite a few times, visiting my sister who lives nearby. This is not haute cuisine - it's part of a phenomenom that I've found only in the Chicago area. That is, family style coffeeshops owned by Greek families, serving standard American/coffeeshop cuisine, huge meals, and a few well-done Greek dishes on the menu.

I've only tried breakfast dishes here, and haven't been disappointed. They aren't the best I've ever had, but they're certainly far from the worst.

Every time we've been there, we've dawdled over our meals, and the staff has never rushed us or made us feel like we were no longer welcome. Actually, they've been pleasant all the time.    [01 Apr 2006 06:22:26]

Olde fashioned breakfast joint
Great food and quick turnover so don't worry if there is a small line to get a table. Thay do the basics and do them well. I always get a skillet dish that would fill a football player.    [06 Jan 2007 19:21:36]
