We have eaten here for at least , do not even remember, about 1975 think, when they first opened. It is the best place ever. Our kids just about grew up in this place and though they are adults today, they still love it. Over the years gotten to know many of the staff and owners and even been in the kitchen . Everything is made fresh. The Greek and Italian dishes are our favorites and the portions are quite big, in fact we often split an entree after the appetitizers and wines. One thing about me is being clean, and this place is clean. The service is always excellent and it seems like the owner is always there. Our favorites are Greek Salads, pizza with sliced tomatoes and feta cheese, eggplant and the spinach items, but basically all the items are outstanding and there are a lot of choices on the menu, a lot. Being right off I-95 makes it even a better place because we can get there fast. One thing is we go and pick up if we do not have time to go in and sit down, because they do not deliver, .... the Gyros ... I have never had any to even touch them and the pita they use is like it was just baked and is brushed with garlickly olive oil. I do not know how they do it, but I would have to say it is in my top three restaurants ever, and that includes a couple of high ranking spots that cost plenty. I have said enough, I guess, but lastly the place is in a nice medium sized shopping center and there is enough parking. Do not miss the rice pudding and the baklava (sp) ... also made fresh in the place. The prices are quite reasonable, if not a bit on the low side considering the quality. Frank&Carol

I stopped by this establishment for breakfast yesterday. I ordered the deluxe french toast breakfast let me say the French Toast was great the bacon was cook properly however my eggs that I ordered as scrambled with cheese came out as a plain omelet with cheese on top. My server (who was the stated manager) didnt notice when food was brought to the table. I was never checked on and when I went to pay the manager told me it was my responsibility to tell her (ok I could have said something I guess) next she corrected the kitchen staff sternly in front of me. Then she cashed me out for my total to which I said it was a normal thing to not charge someone for something that was made incorrect and again I was told that I should have said something before check out and that her 30 years experience she was right and proceed to attempt to start an argument in front of other customers. Later that day I attempted to call and discuss this with the owner to only be told that they were to busy and already knew about the issue anyway.

Always good food for the price, be it pancakes, sandwiches, or salads. After going there for over six years I can remember only twice they had messed up an order and they NEVER play the blame game. Waitresses are well mannered and organized and never slow. Clean, if somewhat small, restrooms, always available tables, and the menu is HUGE. In fact they have two menus as one is for breakfasts. NEVER leave this place hungry. NOT only is it a five minute drive away or a short walk but it is near my bank, the Rite Aid I use, a Pet Shop I visit, the Post Office I use, and a new Michaels I sometimes visit so it is in a great location if you have things to do and want to have lunch nearby. In other words it is at Brandlee Shopping Center along side Fresh Market and a freestanding Safeway next door. So you can shop and pop into the restaurant for lunch. Always lots of parking too.

I am an Atlantis regular for many, many years. You have to know what to order if you want good food. Gyros (pretty incredible), Greek salads, baked spaghetti with meatballs, burgers and fries, and subs are good. Beer in frosted mugs! Spanakopita is soggy on the bottom and shouldnt be served. If you like their sauce, you will probably like their pizza. Dont even think about going here for breakfast. You have a 50-50 chance of getting a friendly server and you will never, ever see management in front if the house, which is a shame. Chances are you wont feel like a welcomed guest, but sometimes the food can be really good.

I first got introduced to Atlantis with a girlfriend back in 2003, best part of that particular relationship! They moved to bigger place a few years ago, and it still makes me happy to see it busy there. Pizza is the best I have had around. They are not exotic with bbq chicken and muenster cheese etc, but if you want good old fashioned pizza -this is the place. I have had many other things there, and never had anything bad -but the pizza is the reason to go.

The salmon with rice pilaf was excellent. I shared the platter with another person and we agreed that it was enough food for both. Three stars because of the service. Sweet waitress but after taking our drink order she took soooo long to come back to take our food order. Wasnt so busy that day either. I will repeat, but only when I have time to wait.

we brought our baby to dinner on a night we really needed to get out of the house. the food was good and reasonably priced. the waitress was prompt and friendly. there were many other families enjoying dinner. we will go back again. my only complaint is that there is no changing table in the restroom, so we had to use the car.

I will not get pizza or sandwiches from anywhere else, these guys make them far too delicious and Ive been coming here for years now. Very friendly and caring staff, I dont ever remember having to ask for a refill either, they usually bring it when Im about half empty. Give this place a try, youll never regret it!

Stopped for breakfast, and it wasnt bad; but didnt rate more than average. Server was polite, and she hooked me up with a to go cup for my coffee; but nothing else to write home about. Food was decent but not unique. Storefront windows were dirty, and ambiance was a bit dated. Nothing bad, but nothing great.

This restaurant has a special dressing on the Greek salads and souvalki that is to die for! The pizza is outstanding. They are always busy w/ lunch proving their generous portions, reasonable prices, wide variety of menu choices and quality food is top notch. Ive been going there for 20 years.

I have eaten at Atlantis for years. For the longest time the only thing I would get was gyros. The sandwich or dinner was so great I did not want to try anything else. However, I finally branched out and now my new favorite is beaf kabok. Just had it tonight and "LOVED IT" Jayne

Love this place, has the best Pizza in the area, espescially the crumpled sausage! The service has always been good and the prices are reasonable. I enjoy also that they serve pitchers of beer at a managable cost. Would go back anytime Im in the mood for Pizza or Greek food.
