I would have preferred to give 3.5 stars, but dont have that option. We were 12 seniors today to celebrate one friends birthday. Everyone was delighted with the variety of dishes available from this local restaurant. The Greek food is excellent and copious, the daily specials also delicious. We had very attentive service too. Primos is my first thought if I want to have a meal out. Those who had Greek Salad praised the quality and quantity. The house dressing for salads is exceptionally good. Last summer I went several times to eat Quiche and salad because I enjoyed it so much, and am sorry its no longer on the menu. But I had stuffed cabbage which was one of the daily specials - only $6, and there was so much food that I had to take some home for another meal. Really good, casual dining. Peggy, Oct 28, 2010

We were looking for an Italian Restaurant near me and this popped up on my phone. Myself, my mother and my daughter all stopped in for dinner on a Friday. The place was almost full even though its probably big enough to fit 100+ people. I ordered the Lasagna, mother ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs, daughter had the Chicken Strips and Fries. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. We were seated quickly, and our waiter came and got are drinks quickly. After ordering the kids food and our salads came in about 7 minutes and our main dishes came about another 15 minutes after. Staff was on point and very polite. I have to say I will be going back again and very soon!

Meh. I generally try to support local establishments like this one. Our family had eaten here a couple of times, and I always walk away with a ... "well maybe itll be better next time." After a $40 breakfast outing for two adults, including $5 orange juices (which tasted like they were from concentrate) and $3 coffee (which were worse than what youd get at 7 eleven), room temp food and super mediocre service... I think weve experienced enough. Id rather drive to Bob Evans (service with a smile and consistent food), Atlantis, or extra perks for breakfast. Theres no good reason to justify the food prices here. Its vanilla at best.

We like Primo a lot - good comfortable food, excellent service - but its not haute cuisine, hence 3 stars. Were most likely to order the chicken salad plate - a tasty filling bargain - or the excellent pizza, but the Greek food is very good, the frozen custard and rice pudding are fine, and drinks - wine or Martini, for instance - are reasonable. Omelets on Sunday are delicious. Many of the wait staff have been there for years, and service is prompt and attentive. I would echo others good comments and ignore the digs.

Hate to say it, but not what it used to be. Menu has changed, and in my opinion not for the better, and the prices are too high for what you are receiving. Service is good, as it always has been, but miss the old menu and selection, and again - the prices are in all honesty ridiculous for what you are getting. Been a loyal customer for over 30 years, and I truly hate to say it, but those days are probably in the rearview mirror now.

We had been walking our dog at the nearby Dykes Marsh Nature Preserve and happened to find this gem. It has 2 outdoor tables that I dont think guests regularly dine at, but they happily accommodated us without question. We were able to dine alfresco with our dog which was great. They even brought out some bacon for the dog. The food for the humans was also excellent!!

Primos a friendly family local restaurant. The staff are a decent bunch, and the photos and plaques on the walls show that the owners and staff have a long, long-standing commitment to the community, including supporting youth sports teams, local police and fire departments, and generally being involved with social organizations. And the pizza is especially good too.

We moved to the area six months ago and have been enjoying a weekly dinner at Primo ever since. The service is prompt and pleasant, the food is consistent "diner" quality. The salads are always fresh and the Greek & Italian specialties are good comfort food. We take our toddler son and always feel welcome and comfortable...very "kid friendly" environment.

This is a good family place. The food is good and the wait staff is friendly. Their breakfast omelettes are served all day. The portions are fit for a very hungry man. We visit them for brunch on occasion. Their Bloody Marys are delicious but they do not serve Mimosas. Ice Cream and Pizza seem to be the best things on the menu, in my opinion.

I give it four stars for what it is, and that is a family neighborhood restaurant. The food is not bad, but I recommend you go for the atmosphere. It is a nice plane to have dinner, especially if you live in the neighborhood. The pizza is actually very good. Much better than anywhere else nearby.

I love this little place - feels like a hometown establishment in a much smaller town. The waitstaff is really good, although not exactly warm. Their starter salad is amazing. I havent gotten anything I dont like. I second Marys comment about the phone number - that lady was mean!

Best Pizza in the town hands down. Always fresh and tasty. I usually end up eating couple of pieces on a carryout before I reach home. Their sit-in-dine restaurant is also famous for variety of Italian dishes. Love their custards and "half price wine Wednesday". Must try.

What a gem. We were here from out of town and Primo happened to be fairly close to our hotel. What a great experience! The food was fabulous(mix of Italian and Mediterranean food) and the staff were friendly and quick. The place was packed and I understand why.

Until recently my family were regulars there. Ate three at least 3 times a month and loved every time. Very welcoming staff and the owner would always stop by to say hi. Food choices are great and the quality was good. Great for 2 people or a group of people.

This 5 star is for the immaculate steak and cheese I had today. For $10 I ate a whopping steak&cheese and what looked like 2 orders of fries. Which in my opinion are some of the best fries I think Ive ever had. First time going definitely wont be my last.

This place is a really good destination for lunch and dinner. It has a variety of food options to choose from. This establishments restrooms are fine and in good condition. However, you have to walk a long condensed corridor to get to it.

This is a neighborhood restaurant with good food at a reasonable price. The service is always good and the staff is friendly. I particularly like the pizza and salads but the menu has a good variety of options.
