Been meaning to check this place out but I wont eat here again. My waiter was good as a waiter, but when he wasnt waiting, he sat at the bar and blatantly watched me eat. Im one of those people who really doesnt like to be watched while eating--I mean, lets be honest, does anyone like being stared at while trying to eat? Im not sure if maybe he was just waiting for me to need something (it wasnt very busy) but either way it made me feel really uncomfortable. It was very blatant, and I think his coworkers probably noticed, but no one said anything. He never stopped. That kind of weird behavior fosters a really uncomfortable environment. The homefries had onions in them, and Im allergic to onions. I have never encountered onions in homefries before and it didnt say anything on the menu about them having onions so I ordered them thinking itd be a safe bet. Im lucky I saw that they were loaded with onions before eating them. It wouldnt have killed me, and allergies to onions are rare, but still. I guess I just wish something so uncommon as onions in homefries could have been outlined on the menu. All the other food was good; I wish I could have at least finished it. I couldnt eat because I was so uncomfortable being stared at. That being said, I still tipped him. There is no excuse for not tipping (just a little shout-out to anyone who doesnt tip. Just because you have a bad experience doesnt mean you get a free pass to be a jerk!) I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he didnt even realize he was doing it. Maybe he was really tired. Either way, I hope management sees this and maybe just has a little mention of polite/appropriate behavior while out on the floor.

Avoid this place. Apathetic staff and poor quality all around. I literally just left a full plate of food on the table because it was undercooked and tasted like it came out of a bag. I asked the waitress before I ordered, "please be honest, how is the quality of the fish?" Oh its great, she replied... It was DISGUSTING, honestly my money should have been refunded, I had one bite and couldnt bring myself to force the rest. Also whats the point of asking how was everything if youre not going to do anything to fix it? Also there were flys everywhere. This is the second time Ive been here, the first time was disappointing also, sugar ants were all over my table. Fool me once, fool me twice, Ill not be fooled a third. No wonder its empty... now Im just pissed that I havent had lunch but spent 11 plus dollars on LUNCH. Never again, and the fact that they didnt even seem to care? Im telling everyone at the office down the street to avoid this place.

I had a cockroach whipped up into my eggs. I have eaten there on several occasions but this will be my last time. First I could tell my plate was sticky and I didnt have anything sticky for breakfast on my plate. Then as I was eating my food I saw a dead cockroach in my eggs. I dont feel like they are clean. The server was very nice but the manager started looking around on the walls and ceiling to see if maybe it came from on the table or around us rather than in the kitchen. It was obvious that it was mixed in and cooked on the stove with my food and other peoples meals. No one came over to apologize or even make sure we were OK. We just got up and walked out and nobody said anything. All the servers had been gossiping about it once they took my plate back and so they were all just staring at us as we were leaving. I am utterly disgusted. This place will never get my money again and if I can avoid anybody eating there I will certainly tell the truth

I went here for dinner with three friends for my birthday. It took 15m for the waitress to come take our order. My friends asked the waitress if they gave a free slice of pie or cake since it was my birthday and the lady said they do and would bring it out later. It took almost an hour to get our food and I never got a slice of cake even though we asked her several times and she kept saying she was going to get it. They messed up two orders and they had to be sent back and the plate I received had crusty food left on it like they rushed it out of the dishwasher. The free slice of cake is not a big deal, but the time it took for them to take our order and bring the food was too long.

I went here with my family, from out of town, and we enjoyed our meals. There was a line of people waiting outside and inside, so that probably means the diner has some good food and service. Regardless of the wait, the service was great and we noticed the manager (or owner?) walking around and meeting with the guests, which isnt something you see often, so we were very impressed with his presence because that shows the care he has in his business. I recall getting a special of pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage, home fries and a biscuit all for under $10 -- it was very good for a very good price. If Im ever in Sandy Springs again, Ill be sure to return here. Thumbs up!

Worst experience eating out Ive ever had. My girlfriend pulled a piece of wax paper out of her mouth after biting into a gyro. Our waitress called over the owner who told her, "its part of the aluminum foil coving the gyro, it happens all the time". After we insisted that it came from inside the sandwich he asks condescendingly, "well where do you think its from?". I finally told him that he was being very disrespectful he grabbed our plates off the dining table and said, "Well then you dont need to eat it" and walked off. Would not recommend to anyone.

I am a regular Patron at this place. Each and every one of the foods you choose will be at a decent price with fantastic flavor in large quantities. Their baklava cheesecake what is their finest dessert but they do also have good ice cream and other pastries. If youd dine there enough, say about 5 times, you might be able to convince them to let you have about 10 people sit at several tables together for a birthday party. I have had 5 birthday parties there.... I will keep coming here for years to try their 8-page menu.

Was at this restaurant yesterday (sunday 5/14) and was treated horrible. The waiter didnt speak much english but we decided to order a simple loaded bake potato and other dinner items. Food was brought out fine, bake potato wasnt loaded. When we asked the waiter looked at us like we were stupid asking for sour cream,cheese,and other toppings. We said forget it, ate, and left. Do not plan on returning. The manager asked us about our meal and we told him it was horrible service. He said ok and shrugged us off.

*Menu has wide variety of food to select. *I ordered country fried steak. It tasted great especially with white gravy! However, salad lacked enough dressing. The plastic cup was half full. Also mashed potatoes had little to almost no brown gravy. *My guest had chopped steak. No taste at all. Salt or gravy does wonders. *Waitress would check on us every now and then. She was already gone before she even asked us if we were OK. *Will probably go back. But order something that doesnt cost alot.
