Fast and Fresh

I have been walking past this restaurant for years so the other day; I decided to check it out.  Glad I did.  It is actually a neighborhood gem.

Upon walking in, the ordering counter is right there - you can't miss it.  The extensive menu is listed on the chalk board this hanging on the wall.  Actually, there is something for everyone.  Since I was in the mood for some french fries, I decided on the Chicken Tender platter with included a drink.  You really can't go wrong with that.  

You can sit at the small counter or at one of the five or six available tables.  As I'm waiting for my order, I had how clean the restaurant was.  There is a television to watch to kill time.  I also noticed, this restaurant does a lot of carryouts.  I believe that is always a good sign if the restaurant is good or not. My food was delivered to me within a reasonable amount of time.   All of the tables had condiments which is a plus.  I just had to ask for some silverware.  No biggie.

I had received about three large pieces of chicken.  Bigger than I had anticipated.  Unfortunately, the fries were luke warm.  Here is where this restaurant saved itself.  Inside of refrying these fries, I was given fresh and hot fries.  I was also given an additional piece of chicken.  Great customer service.  

Overall, the meal was okay.  I even had to ask for a to-go container.  For the record, the chicken tenders were good the next day - cold.

I would go back when I'm in the area.  Go enjoy if you want a quick bite to eat.

This place serves a great burger, with a nice 'grill' taste. Fries have that twice-fried feel. It is indeed fast. Service is friendly.Open late which is nice. Glad it's here.

They do greek salads and lentil dishes, too, which I keep meaning to try.

Had a Google Offer.  Got the lentil soup, spinach pie and chicken gyros.

Pros:

- Nice people.  
- Tasty and fresh food.  

Cons:

- EVERYTHING I ordered was luke warm.  Nothing was as hot as it should have been.
- Lentil soup was good but was a bit thick for my taste and kind of bland.
- Spinach pie was good but I definitely have had better. Let's face it though, this place is a casual place so you aren't going to get the cooks whipping up homemade spinach pies here, but they are pretty good for a place as casual as this place.
- Chicken gyros was not great. I have only had chicken gyros a couple of times before and I didn't like them too much but there were so many great reviews of them I had to give them a try.  Their chicken gyros was the best I've had ever, but... it wasn't hot enough and there wasn't enough meat in the sandwich. I'm not even a big meat person. I eat very little meat in general. Anytime I order a gyros, I always order an extra pita because there's no way I can finish all the meat given, so I make another sandwich and eat it the next day for lunch (maybe.. if it holds up ok overnight).  Anyways, this was not the case here.  There was definitely not enough meat.  Very thinly sliced meat and not much given at all, so I wasn't too happy with that. They did not give enough tomatoes with the sandwich either, so I probably will have to try the chicken kabob sandwich instead next time.

I will definitely go back again though. Maybe it was just an off night, and since the food that I got was definitely really fresh and reasonably priced, I would return.  I bet their salads are really good!
