★★★★☆ 4.0 Steven Kanarian · Dec 2025

This is a traditional Greek diner with a warm, friendly atmosphere. The service is quick and the food is good. This is my go to place between NY and MA. Easily accessible off Exit 55 , route 95. Great way to avoid the crowded rest areas and get healthier food.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Nick Czerula · Sep 2025

Decent Little diner close to the highway exit ramp. Plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. The menu isn't as big as some diners you might visit, especially in the tri-state area, but their offerings are good. The food I had was prepared fresh, the only grape would be that they gave me iceberg lettuce instead of mixed greens. But that might have been due to a shortage and not the norm. The staff is friendly and service was okay. Nothing to write home about.

I love this place. I’m comfortable with the food and usually enjoy it. I also think the prices are amazing. It can get busy and it can be difficult to find parking, but usually isn’t too bad. The food is always a hit or miss for ME. I am honestly really picky and will try to order things I don’t know if I will like. However, I think most people like it. The Greek lasagna (pictured) didn’t do it for me. I liked the cheese soufflé layer on top. I still give it 5 stars cause honestly I’m pretty sure I’m the issue. My boyfriend loved this. We did order a special which came with the pie! They have the BEST pie and cake. It’s honestly my favorite. Their burgers are always juicy and delicious. I have never had any issue with the servers and genuinely been really happy here. It’s a diner and is

I stopped in for a quick breakfast during my 30-minute lunch break and ordered a coffee, chocolate milk, and a ham & cheese omelet with home fries. It took almost my entire lunch break just to receive the food. When it finally arrived, the plate was visibly dirty. I rubbed the surface with my finger and grime came off — clearly not food residue. The waiter saw it and called over the manager, who attempted to claim it was residue from the food, which was not true. It took actual scrubbing to remove it. Given the unsanitary condition of the plate and the excessive wait time, I told them I would not be paying for the meal. I did, however, offer to pay for the coffee and chocolate milk. They charged me $9 for those two items. Between dirty dishes, poor service, long wait times, and being ov
