Ate here with family yesterday. Overall a positive experience. I ordered their gyro platter with fries and onion rings as my second side. I also, because I have no self control, ordered some baklava for dessert.

First off, the fries. They were fresh cut fries, but had some real crispiness to them. I’m used to my fresh cut fries being droopy, but these weren’t at all. And they were lightly seasoned, which was perfect.

Then the onion rings. They were made from whole onions, not processed and reformed onions that you get at cheap restaurants. (AKA frozen garbage.) They had a solid crunch and good flavor. The dipping sauce though, my goodness it’s delicious. I could drink it by itself it’s so good.

Highly recommend both the fresh cut fries and onion rings.

The gyro platter though, first off, it’s massive. I was definitely overfilled by the time I had cleaned my plate. Especially considering you get two sides. Personally, I’d like to see them offer the meal with fries and a dessert as opposed to a second side.

But that’s just my preference.

The gyro protein is tasty and seasoned well. But I can’t lie, it does put me off a little when they say it’s a mix of pork and lamb. I don’t remember that being an option at any other Greek restaurant I’ve been to. Is that to help keep costs down? Is it to help prevent waste between proteins? Is that actually done for flavor or consistency reasons?

No clue. I personally couldn’t tell. But it’s different and should be noted at least.

The veggies were fresh and the dressing over them was appropriate. The pita was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, exactly as it should be.

The baklava was kind of disappointing. It had really good flavor, but it was so soggy. I’m used to the top few layers of my baklava being crispy. This had the same consistency when I get an order of baklava at Jungle Jim’s and by the third day the last piece or two have just soaked up all the honey to the very brim.

Great flavor, but wish it was crispier.

That being said, for the $21 spent on this meal, no real complaints. The value is there, as is the flavor.

Also, it’s comical seeing the staff attempt to explain Greek recipes to 60+ year old men at the bar who have never ventured more than five miles outside of Kidron, Ohio. Absolute gold.

Big win here and a huge value. Will be back to try out other dishes.

We had been going to this dinner for years but the new ownership has breathed new life into the menu. Many classic homestyle options with excellent greek food. Add to that renovations and a great coffee bar. A new can’t miss stop

What a wonderful place to eat. My wife got the Greek burger and I got the gyro and they were both amazing. I have never been to any other restaurant with such a friendly and kind staff. I wish there were more stars to give because 5 are not enough. Thank you to Nicolette and the lade with the blonde hair, the guy behind the counter, the chef, and the tiny little girl wrapping silverware for a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be telling everyone we know about you.

We heard about this place on social media and drove an hour to try it out. We were not disappointed. The food was awesome, we had the gyro platter, saganaki (flaming cheese), souvlaki (shish kabob) and stuffed grape leaves. The owners are very friendly and the service was great. The place was extremely clean. We will be making the drive again and again, it’s that good.

My family and I ate here today and we were pleasantly surprised. It was nice to find something other than worn out Amish food which usually consists of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and such. I usually don’t eat out in the area because of that. My husband ordered the gyro platter and it was delicious. The portion was large as well. He was very satisfied. I ordered the large Greek salad. It was very good as well. I thought it needed more lettuce in proportion with the toppings but that being said it was still very good. I couldn’t resist my husband’s fries. They were fresh cut and not frozen. I really appreciated that. I will definitely return when I’m back in the area. Please support them because we need other options!!!

They had a big grill cooking chicken outside when we were passing through town. It smelled so good we decided to stop for dinner. They were so friendly. The custard filled Philo dough dessert was really yummy and the calamari was fantastic! I got a gyro and a baklava to-go and they look and smell amazing too, I can’t wait to try them. They said every 4-6 months they have a Greek Night where they play music and dance, they said they’d post about the next one on Facebook so we’ll definitely check in and hope to be able to attend. This restaurant offers a really nice variety to the area, please support them.

Surprisingly great Greek food in the heart of Amish country! The dishes are authentic and flavorful, the staff is friendly, and the mix of Greek and American options makes it a hidden gem.

It was just good not great. We came for the “Amazing Greek” food as seen on a social media post. All of the locals we eating burgers and fries. That should have been the best clue to not get the Greek. It was good but not great. The fries were very good, the Greek food was just average. The staff and everyone we encountered were friendly and efficient. No complaints at all.

Father found this place on Tik Tok, drove 1.5 hours to get here and was well worth the drive. Some of the best Greek food I have had in the US. Owners are from Greece and try to be as authentic as possible. Everything is fresh and delicious, the gyro is the best I have had in a long time. Hidden gem and well worth the time to get here. Recommend everyone give this place a try.
