  We had dinner here one night. We had never been there before. It's a small, family owned/run place. The menu had a HUGE selection, but the owner's wife told us that their burgers and Greek choices were their most popular. Our son had the Chicken Milanese sandwich. He said it had great flavor and lots of bacon on it, but was a bit dry because it came with no mayo or anything. He said he would get it again but add mayo and maybe some lettuce and tomato. Two in our group ordered the Baked Mousaka. It came with a nice sized Greek salad with the dressing on the side and also some tzatziki sauce on the side, and also had a stuffed grape leaf! It came with some freshly baked, warm, pita bread wedges. They both said it was very good. Another person had the Gyro which he thoroughly enjoyed. I had the Stuffed Cabbage. It was as big as your fist, and came with the warm pita wedges as well. It also came with a house salad. Every one of our entrees came with the soup of the day. This day, I believe she might have called it Chicken Lemon Soup. I didn't think our teenage son would eat it. The homemade soup was like chicken and rice soup, and if she did say lemon, I didn't taste it. It was very good and even the teenager loved it! For dessert, two had the homemade Baklava, which had been freshly made that day, and they said it was fantastic. Two others had chocolate cake, and it was good. It's also the biggest piece of cake I've ever got in a restaurant!
  We will definitely be trying this place again!
  I did notice that they had several flavors of hard ice cream available. This is probably why previous reviewers complained about milk shake prices. They obviously use REAL ice cream and not some mix. Also, we went prepared to wait for service. We used the time to visit and joke, and peruse the EXTENSIVE menu offerings. In small family owned and run places like this, service time is based on how busy they are. This night, the husband cooked, while the wife greeted/seated/served/cleaned/assisted with cooking. And we thought she did a great job!
  Closed on Sundays, open other days 7am-9pm. Breakfast served all day!
  Definitely a place worth trying in a town the size of King George!

  Milkshake prices are ridiculously high for anywhere. $3 for 12 oz (who serves a 12oz milkshake anyway?) and 4.75 for 18 oz.
  
  The burger choices are vast and some sound tasty, but in the end it left me dissapointed the several attempts I made to enjoy them.
  
  BUT on the bright side every burger is sold with a side of... soup... I can't tell what kind of soup because on the menu is just says "soup." so the "soup" was decent and a nice suprise.
  
  If you're in a hurry don't come to Uncle Dave. One waitstaff for seven tables. Everytime I went there were not anyone else in the place, and still waited 35 minutes for food.
  
  Besides the milkshakes, everything else is moderately priced. And everyone is very nice. Uncle Dave (who I think used to be an electrician in Greece, but decided to open a restaurant in fumboozle Va instead) came and greated us. He's a great guy! (who apparently loves soup)

  I was a fan of this place until I ate a cowgirl burger with rancid roast beef.  I took a few bites and smelled something bad.  I opened my burger and took the roast beef out to examine it and it smelled disgusting.  I had my order to go so I was home at the time and chucked all my food out.  Shortly afterwards, I had stomach issues if you know what I mean.  On to the service.  On the occasions that we have eaten in the restaurant, the service was very good.  You feel welcomed here. The burger prices are reasonable but as another poster pointed out the milkshake prices are high.  The milkshakes are not that great in my opinion.  When I drank one, it was runny.  I was a fan but not anymore.
