L'avis 3 étoiles de Susan Just found out last night that "half price apps" no longer include the wings or the shrimp (I think it is called firecracker shrimp). I think this definitely warrants a review update and a loss of a star. Half price appetizers (no exclusions) is what drew us to Roosters on a Monday night. Knowing that the wings (which we always order) are no longer half price will make us reconsider stopping here. We got 2 drinks, and 3 appetizers (wings, grilled veggies and quesadilla) and it was around $30. Really bummed! -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan I've been craving Chinese food for a week and Friday was the day my dreams came true. Fortune House has been bookmarked on my list to try so this was the perfect opportunity. Upon walking into this place, I do have to note that the air was pretty thick and smoky. The kitchen is not far from the cashier/desk. If you decided to sit inside and wait for your food, I'm sure you would come out smelling like an eggroll. We ordered way too much food for just 2 people. We got a large cashew chicken, large chicken with garlic sauce, small veggie fried rice, 2 egg rolls and 2 cans of pop. The bag of food had to weigh at least 10 lbs! They also threw in 2 large sized white, steamed rice and sauces/fortune cookies. I am very picky about Chinese take-out, but I really liked the food from here. Everything was super fresh and one of the entrees we got had super huge, full mushrooms (most places just throw in sliced mushrooms). The prices were pretty reasonable too, everything was under $30. If I am craving Chinese takeout, this would be one of my places to go. Since I work nearby, I might try their lunch menu one day. ETA: Since I enjoyed the food so much on Friday, I decided to stop here for lunch today. I got the sweet and sour chicken lunch special. It came with fried rice, egg roll and can of pop for under $7.00! The portion is HUGE. Oh, and it just dawned on me....this place is open on Mondays! I've never found a Chinese restaurant or takeout that has been open on Mondays!! -

L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan Chicken tenders & nachos....that's all I get here and both are so good I don't even want to get anything else. The hype is true, the chicken tenders are mind blowing. And the honey mustard sauce is heavenly. I've been to this location a few times and it is always crowded but the wait hasn't been too bad. -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan Wow, our dinner here last night was fantastic! The Chicago suburbs has an abundant amount of dining options but my boyfriend and I wanted to try something new for our Valentine's dinner so we selected Ruth's Chris. We are so glad that we did! We had a reservation for 7 pm and we arrived about 10 minutes early. Since the place wasn't too crowded I thought we would be seated right away but we did have to wait until 7. That was fine because we just looked at the menu. We were seated at a table that was tucked away in a corner, which we enjoyed. I was eyeing those private booths though, next time I will have to request a booth. The dining room is also beautifully decorated. There are these upside down umbrella looking things hanging from the ceilings that were light fixtures. It reminded me of the Bellagio in Vegas for some reason. The tall ceilings also made the place feel very airy and open. Oh, and the hostess asked if we wanted a black napkin. At first I had no idea what she was talking about but she explained that they offered this so you wouldn't get lint on dark clothes! WOW, I've suffered from the white-lint-on-black-pants before...very impressive that they offer this option. We both had an idea of what we wanted to order but our server was very helpful in pointing out certain items on the website since we were both newbies. She suggested the classic menu, which was a prix fixe and said if we choose that we would actually save a bit of money if we were thinking of ordering sides (steaks come a la carte which is typical at establishments such as this). That option looked the best so we both ordered from Ruth's classic menu. We both had a wedge salad as a starter (no extra cost for this substitution), I had a filet and my boyfriend had the ribeye, we also got sautéed mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes to share. The side portions were just enough for 2 people to share without having any leftovers. The steaks were heavenly. Ruth's main concept is that your steak arrives at your table still sizzling on the plate due to a slab of butter. Yum!!! My filet was the best cut of meat I have had in a while (and we just visited another known steakhouse recently). The butter flavoring was heavenly. Just be careful though, the plates are super hot and your meat will retain a LOT of heat so be careful not to burn your tongue...which isn't easy because you want to devour your food! My boyfriend completely cleared his plate as well so I know his ribeye was good, plus I tasted a bit of it so I can vouch for its tastiness. We also were able to both select a dessert. I was already super stuffed so I decided to take mine to go (chocolate cheesecake with fresh berries) and my boyfriend ordered the chocolate lava cake (an extra $4) that we both shared. Man, that thing was chocolaty! All of the options looked and sounded so good I wanted to order 1 of everything...banana crème pie, apple crumble.... Oh, and I should mention that the bread they bring is amazing. It was so soft and chewy. It came with whipped butter and at one point I was dipping my bread into it as though it was a dip...it was that good! My arteries probably aren't happy with me though. Our server also took the time to explain the reasoning behind the name since we were curious. If you are curious as well, the explanation is on their website. Overall, our dinner at Ruth's Chris was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was great and the food was even better. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan This is by far the best pizza in the Villa Park area. I wish I still lived in VP because I would still order from here..I don't think they deliver out by me though. I think I used to order from here at least 1x a week...yikes! A while back they used to provide free pop with their delivery, but they stopped doing that. I would always order the "everything" pizza...mushrooms, onions, sausage, green pepper and a side of fried mushrooms w/ ranch...delicious. Delivery is fast and food is super duper yummy...what's not to love? -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan If you gave my boyfriend the choice of one place to eat for the rest of his life, I'm pretty sure he would choose Pita House. He recently introduced me to Pita House and I love it too. I've only been a few times and I always get the shish kabab sandwich. The meat is always very flavorful and all of the extra ingredients (lettuce, tomato) has been fresh. If you are looking for something fast and easy in the Lombard area, I suggest Pita House. -

L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan If you take away one thing from my review, let it be this....margarita sampler. Any restaurant that has a margarita sampler on their menu is alright in my book. When you order the sampler they will give you a variation of flavors they have available. They also have a cool salsa bar with tons of salsas to choose from. The food is pretty decent too! Only downfall is the place is on the small side so if you go on a busy weekend night you will have to stand and wait for a table (no separate waiting area). -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan Mmm, 2 hotdog special with fries. Yummy in my tummy. Way back when I was a short fry there was a Mickey's by me on Addison Road (by Stardust Bowl). It has been gone for a long time but I am wondering if this Mickey's in VP are the same owners? Back to the food.... I've only had the 2 hot dog special (no hot) with fries and I've never been disappointed. I really like the fries here. They are thin and squishy, just like I like 'em. My boyfriend had the Italian beef and I took a bite and it was to die for. I never would have thought to get a beef here as I prefer Portillo's but Mikey's is doing something right with their beef sammich. Last time I was here they weren't accepting credit cards so cash only. Oh, and I also like how they wash their hands right in front of you. -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan I do have to admit that I enjoy the Lombard location better because it is bigger and brighter...but the food is still the same so I will keep coming to this location too! Every time I have been here, the food has been fresh and all of the food containers have been full. I love that they have a new theme each month where you can try new things in addition to their normal menu. I hope they never get rid of the asian won ton salad, it is delish! And their strawberry lemonade is to die for! This location by far has the best strawberry lemonade. It is always good, but depending on the day it might be stronger than others. I just wish they would have their creme of mushroom soup available every day and not just Mondays. Their bag of bite size chocolate chip cookies are really good too! Also, if you didn't know...they offer catering. I had a party last summer where we were able to get a jug of the strawberry lemonade! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan What's not to like about Wendy's? This one is close to my work (it actually is one of the only food options in the area) so the only time I frequent is on my lunch break, and through the drive through. This place always has a line of cars waiting in the drive through (probably because its the only place to grab a quick bite) but you are never in line more than 5 mins...the drive through team is that fast and efficient! Food is typical of what you find at any Wendy's...just wanted to mention how the service has always been super speedy AND accurate!

L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan I really enjoy this Sweet Tomato location over the Schaumburg location. It is more airy and open and also brighter. Every time I have been here, the food has been fresh and all of the food containers have been full. I love that they have a new theme each month where you can try new things in addition to their normal menu. I hope they never get rid of the asian won ton salad, it is delish! And their strawberry lemonade is to die for! I am not sure if it is fresh squeezed or from a mix but there have been times where it hasn't been as good as others. I just wish they would have their creme of mushroom soup available every day and not just Mondays. Their bag of bite size chocolate chip cookies are really good too! Also, if you didn't know...they offer catering. I had a party last summer where we were able to get a jug of the strawberry lemonade! -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan Too many options!! I've only been here 2 times and each time I've been over whelmed by the large menu board. I guess they have the normal sized selections of other places but the oversized menu board makes it seem like the menu goes on for days. I don't do well with tons of options! I'm kicking myself too because this is the 2nd time I didn't get anything BBQ, what is up with that? First time I got kabobs and this time I got a chicken fajita pita. Don't get me wrong, both were delicious but as you are ordering you can smell the delicious BBQ aromas coming from the kitchen and you begin to second guess your choice. My chicken fajita pita came with lettuce, cheese, salsa and of course the pita. All of the veggies and chicken were loaded on the pita like an open face sandwich so needless to say, I ate everything with a fork. I also got a side of fries and there were BBQ dipping sauces on the table so I used that. My mom got a grilled cheese and baked potato and said both were very good. Next time I'm getting a pulled pork sandwich for sure! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan I haven't been to Nana's in a while and now I wish I came back sooner. Had the mini beef/hotdog combo and it was so filling. I had to take my hot dog home because the mini beef filled me up. As I was eating, I read the daily special listing that was on the table and now I want to go here every day! All the daily specials sound so yummy and are reasonably priced. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan I love Brunch Cafe. I first heard about it through a Living Social deal a few months back. I am not a big breakfast person but I think Brunch Cafe is converting me. The most recent meal that I've had here is the Bananarama Pancakes which are graham cracker crushed banana pancakes topped with fresh bananas and strawberries...yum!! I do have to mention that the fruit here is exceptional...everything has always been so fresh and tasty. I've also had the garden omelet which was huge....their omelets here are like footballs! The last time I was here (Saturday around 11) there was about a 20 minute wait. Since I am not a morning person I've never been here before 10. It seems if you get here around 11:45-12 there isn't a wait because the breakfast rush is over. Tip - order the strawberry orange juice...you won't be sorry! -
Addison, IL, États-Unis
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan Lately I've been eating at Dapper's at least once a week. I am usually here late evenings and there is never a long wait. I've been here on a Monday afternoon and the place was packed, it was during Christmas break so maybe everyone was off work/school. The food selection is great. There are a couple favorites that I usually get and I am never disappointed. The only negative I've come across is that they don't allow substitutions. I always get something that comes with soup and I didn't care for that day's selections. I asked if I could substitute a side salad and was told that they don't do substitutions. I asked again on a different visit thinking maybe it was a misinformed server but I was told the same thing. The place is super clean (I prefer Dapper's over other local family restaurants) and the prices are reasonable. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan Went here last night and there wasn't a wait (around 7 pm). We were directed to a table which I think if you are eating at a buffet you should be able to sit wherever you like. We were seated in a booth next to a window and we had to move because it was so cold. There was an actual breeze coming through the wall, the trim of the window was also taped with clear masking tape, perhaps to fix the cold draft? I also noticed how crammed the tables were together. If you had someone sitting behind you the actual chairs were touching one another...good luck getting up to get your food! Overall I thought the food was great for a buffet. I haven't been to a Chinese buffet in ages so I wasn't sure what to expect. They had a very large selection so you wouldn't have any problem finding something to eat. They also have a sushi station and a hibachi area. The hibachi area had a few choices of meat and shrimp, mushrooms, onions, broccoli and noodles. You didn't have a choice of any sauces but this isn't Big Bowl or Stir Crazy...if you want total customization go there. I was satisfied with the way my hibachi food turned out. They buffet area had so much food that I didn't get to try everything that I wanted to because I got super full! They also had a pretty big dessert section and ice cream station. Drinks are a separate add on to your bill and a server will get your refills for you. At the end it was unclear how you paid. The guy who was bringing drink refills/clearing tables brought us our check and took care of it. Usually at buffets your pay when you first enter. One thing that was a bit of a turn off was that there was a girl cleaning the decorative glass with windex. I am all about cleanliness, especially in a restaurant, but smelling the windex fumes while eating isn't ideal. Luckily I was pretty much done eating but there were other patrons who just started their meal. I will definitely be back though! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan Panera is a great place to get a quick, "healthy" lunch that isn't soaked in grease. This location tends to get super crowded during the 12-1 lunch hour so I try to go at the tail end of noon or right before noon. If you do happen to get here during the peak time it is good to know that the lines do run fairly quick. I always get the "pick 2" combo with broccoli cheddar soup and BBQ chopped chicken salad. My biggest complaint is that the to-go salad portion is MUCH smaller than the dine-in portion. Also, I always feel the need to ask for extra dressing as what they drizzle on the salad as well as the extra portion they give isn't enough. I tend to have a heavy hand with dressing. One of the last times I was here I ordered my usual and while I was waiting for my food I noticed that my receipt showed a totally different salad. I went up to the cashier who took my order and told her there was a mistake. She went to the kitchen area and loudly stated that "the customer changed her mind". Uh, no...don't make me look flaky. I didn't change my mind, you rang up my order wrong. Other than that one snafu, I haven't had any other issues with this location. A co-worker of mine goes here and she frequently mentions how they mess up her to-go order. I haven't had that happen to me, thank goodness. Also, sign up for the Panera rewards club...as though you need one more key tag on your key chain. When I first signed up, I was getting rewards up the ying yang (free beverage, free dessert, free fruit smooth), now I barely get any. If you don't have your card on you, you can give your phone number. Oh, and if you order a drink, you have the option of adding on a dessert for just 99cents! Who doesn't love a 99 cent dessert? -

L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan Had another groupon to use, this time it was a set $ amount and we could order whatever we wanted. We also had a reservation and we were seated right away (we were even a few minutes late). Again, we munched on the provided chips and salsa, ordered the guacamole and had some margaritas (I think my bf got the Jefe (?) which was really good. I got the one that has pineapple infused tequila....mine was good but I liked the Jefe better). The guacamole here is so good and you would be missing out if you didn't get it. I ordered 3 tacos and was able to mix and match the flavors. I got 2 chicken tinga and the other Cochinita Pibil (pulled pork). My bf got a steak burrito. Everything was super flavorful and tasty. I really liked the grilled/smokey taste of the steak in the burrito. My tacos were really good but a tad drippy. Every time I took a bite, juices dripped out both ends. The plate that the three tacos were on was one of the skinny long plates that are sitting on the tables when you are seated. There wasn't any extra room at all on the plate so it was a bit difficult to eat without making a mess. I definitely was getting food all over the table including my rice which was served in a small cup. Oh, and our entrees came with a cup of the chicken tortilla soup which was good, wish it had more chicken though (my cup only had 2 pieces). Other than the tiny plate, everything was great. Service again was wonderful! I am curious to try the location in Bolingbrook and excited to see there will be one in So. Barrington. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan So, Lalo's was closed the entire summer (what Mexican restaurant does "renovations" in the summer...seems that would be a super busy time for business?). I was itching for some good Mexican food and in my opinion, Lalo's does it best! What renovations were done? The place looks exactly the same. Maybe they did work in the kitchen?? Anyways, the food was great as usual. I always get the taco dinner with chicken. The chicken here is so moist and juicy! Also, their chicken soup is tasty too. This last visit the timing was off because we barely were into our soup when our meals were brought out. Our waitress noticed and came over and apologized. I had my yummy margarita so all was well in the world and I didn't mind one bit. I do love Lalo's but please, don't shut down again for an entire summer (margaritas just taste better in the summer!). -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan I think I found my new "go to" Chinese restaurant. I have eaten both in the restaurant as well as carry out and haven't been disappointed. The food here is excellent. I've eaten in the restaurant both during the lunch rush as well as at night and every time the place is busy...to me that is a good sign!! I mainly order chicken with garlic sauce but have ordered other items and everything has been great. Their egg rolls are tasty especially with the mango (or maybe it is apricot?) sauce. One tip - if you want to get lunch here and bring it back to your office, order it first on the phone to pick up. I ordered once when I walked in and the place was super busy so the wait was a little bit longer (which is expected). -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan Wow...why have I not been to the Melting Pot before?? My boyfriend took me here for an anniversary dinner. We went late on a Sunday night and I think there were only 3-5 other parties there at the same time. That was fine by me! I've never been to a fondue restaurant before (bf has) and the waiter was great at explaining what to do each portion of the meal (i.e. cook times). We ordered the "Big Night Out". We started off with the delicious cheese dip which was to die for! Next was the wedge salad which was also incredible. I love the special seasoning salt that they provide for the salad...so good (you can also purchase this to take home)! Our meat portion was also very good. We both don't eat seafood so they substituted out any seafood (I think it was just shrimp) and gave us more chicken. At first it didn't look like there was going to be enough food but trust me...there is enough. By the end of the meat portion you will be unbuttoning your pants...to make room for dessert of course! There were so many dessert options so we asked our waiter to recommend something. He said he was going to surprise us and he sure did! He gave us milk chocolate with caramel mixed in...heaven! Overall, I loved the experience. It is a bit pricey but I think it is worth it. You do leave a little stinky though. -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan Benihana has a great Birthday offer if you sign up for their emails. They basically give you $30 to spend (certain days of the week during your birth month). Not one to pass up a deal, we headed out to the nearest Benihana to take advantage. Yeah, the place might be a bit cheesy but I enjoy the food and the experience...fried rice shaped into a beating heart never gets old. If you do visit during peak times (i.e. dinner) be prepared to sit at a table with strangers. This last experience was quite unusual as there was a mother with 2 teenagers and another couple who were obviously on their first date. The 2 teenagers + mom were poking fun at the first date couple the whole time. By the time the first date couple left, the bash fest happened. It really was awkward and uncomfortable and made me wonder what other people are saying about me when I leave, lol. Oh, and since it was my birthday (not really but I was using the coupon), they brought out ice cream complete with a candle AND they sung to me AND they took a picture. Talk about embarrassing!! Benihana graciously printed out the photo and gave it to me which was a nice touch. Definitely sign up for their email club!!! -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan Finally, Addison has a Panera Bread! It's a chain so I'm not sure I can offer anything entirely unique. I've dined in as well as used the take-out service several times here and never experienced any issues. Tip: Sign up for the rewards card. I haven't received any rewards recently, but when I first signed up I received free drinks, free smoothie, free desserts, etc. -
L'avis 4 étoiles de Susan I love me some Mexican food, and if I am looking for something quick (and Mexican), I stop here. They have sit down service as though it is a restaurant OR you can carry-out. Last time I was there it didn't seem like you could order, get your food and sit down...you actually had to be waited on/served (i.e. tip involved). I usually get the 3 steak taco dinner (rice, no beans). They provide plenty of sauces if you are doing carry-out. If you are looking for Mexican fast food, come here! Huge downfall is that they are cash only...what's up with that? -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan O.M.G. I think I've died and gone to heaven...meat heaven. This place was amazeballs! A while back, I signed up for their email club and for my birthday, they sent a buy-one-get-one coupon. I've never been to Texas de Brazil before (have been to one other Brazilian Steakhouse years ago) so this was the perfect opportunity to try something new. I don't care if this is a chain restaurant, it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Everything I ate was delicious! I made a reservation, which I strongly suggest even during the week...this place was packed for a Wednesday night. We were seated at the table that is right next to the plates at the salad bar. At first I thought it was going to be a bad spot but it turned out to be pretty good. We were near the kitchen so we always got meats right away. When we were first seated, our server came over and started explaining what to expect/do. It was a bit hard to hear him because the place was loud. He was explaining wine specials and being a visual person, I asked to see the drink menu. Now, I'm not sure if a drink menu really exists because he brought over this huge, leather bound book. Maybe that was the menu for customers but it seemed like something they would use for reference. Anyways, I ended up getting a Brazilian Kiss martini which was delish! Next stop, salad bar. I was expecting this to be much bigger, but it was still nice for what it offered. I ended up having a salad (the ranch dressing is amazing and so is the Brazilian dressing), some roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella and some 'shrooms for the meat. The table also gets a basket of fresh, warm cheesy bread (heavenly), mashed potatoes and sweet fried bananas to accompany the meat. The bananas are for you to cleanse your palate between meats. We ate the bananas to cleanse our palate and to just eat them...they were so good. They are actually a great substitute for a dessert! Now the meats...this is where it gets good! The guys who bring out the meats (we coined them meat pirates because of their gaucho pants) are so on the ball. The second you turn your card over, someone is showing up with meat. And it never stops. You are forced to turn the card to red because if you don't, you will be drowning in meat. We were told there were 14 cuts, I think I only had 6 or so. My favorite was the garlic sirloin, followed by the bacon wrapped filet, bacon wrapped chicken and the ribs. I liked how you were able to choose if you wanted a piece that was medium, medium well, well, etc. I tend to like my meat cooked medium well/well so it was nice to have that option. I wish I could have tried more but I was getting physically ill from eating so much. I never even made it back to the salad bar for seconds. We also passed on dessert because we were so full, and besides, we had those sweet bananas! As I'm writing this, I'm daydreaming about the meat. I want to go back...tonight! Definitely sign up for their emails...the birthday offer is one of the best that I've seen and made our night out very affordable! -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan Holy mogli! Where has this place been all my life? I am so glad that we were able to stop in right before they closed. It was the best yogurt that I've had in a while. There were TONS of flavor choices but once I saw watermelon sorbet I didn't even think of contemplating any other flavor. To say it was delicious is an understatement. All of the yogurt flavors are self serve as well as the toppings. They had tons of toppings to choose from as well...crushed waffle cones, oreos, M&Ms, marshmallows, fruity pebbles, sprinkles, peanuts, strawberries, pineapple, tons of syrups oh and those tiny little balls I'm always seeing...I haven't been brave enough to try those yet but I definitely will next time. They charge $.44/ounce which I think is very reasonable. My bf and I both loaded up our cups and it came out to just over $10. He got the cherry flavor which was good but a bit sour, I definitely recommend the watermelon! I am already planning out my next visit....I am curious how thin mint tastes (and I saw on their website that they have York Peppermint Patty...holy ish!!!) If you are in the area, check this place out. You will be kicking yourself if you didn't! -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan Wanted to try someplace new the other night. It was late (around 9:30) and it is hard to find places that are still open. Having read about Elio's just the other day, I checked their hours and noticed they were open later! So glad we decided to come here. I've driven by this new strip mall a dozen times but never really gave it much thought. Now I can't wait to go back to Elio's. They have ample seating to dine in and the prices are very reasonable. We got a sausage pizza to split and 2 beverages and a dessert crepe and it was around $20! The pizza was amazing. It isn't your typical "Americanized" pizza, it is thinner and made in a brick oven. Items are made fresh to order and all of the ingredients were extremely fresh and tasty. We also got the tropical crepe which had bananas and strawberries with chocolate sauce and whipped cream...think banana split! Workers were very friendly and attentive. I can't wait to go back to try another pie! -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan If you've never had an Italian beef pizza, I highly recommend you try one from White Cottage. My office used to be located closer to White Cottage so we would order pizzas all the time, the Italian beef being one of the variations. I haven't had it in a while so we decided to get one the other night. It is a lot different than your normal pizza. There is Italian beef (naturally), giardiniera, green pepper and onions. If you don't like spice, this isn't for you as it can get pretty spicy. I think I had to blow my nose a few times as this completely opened up my sinuses. We got a 14" and it was $20 so not terribly bad. When you order, make sure you mention "italian beef special". It is listed on their menu as such. We placed the order and just asked for Italian beef assuming we would get the special....had to make some adjustments when we arrived. Definitely going to come back and try the BBQ chicken and taco pizza. -
L'avis 5 étoiles de Susan Stav's is a great neighborhood, non-fast food, fast food place....if that makes sense? They mainly specialize in Greek-style food but they do have other options such as hot dogs, beef sandwiches and pastas. Dined here on a rainy Friday evening and the place wasn't too busy. They do offer a drive thru so I think most people choose that option. We ordered 2 chicken kabob dinners which both came with a side salad. Everything is cooked made to order so you can guarantee that your food will be fresh and hot. Like typical Greek places, you order, get your salad (or whatever side you choose) and sit down. They will call you when your main dish is ready. You eat on regular plates and use silverware, not plastic. The salad was really fresh but a very heavy hand was used with the oil/vinegar. I didn't mind but it wasn't necessarily healthy when it is drenched in dressing. Our chicken kabobs were really flavorful and came with rice pilaf, pita and potato wedges. This location used to be a Wendy's years ago but Stav's have made some nice renovations to the inside for a cozier feel. They have a nice TV mounted on the wall which was playing Wheel of Fortune and Shark Tank (my fav). I believe the owners were working when we visited and you can tell they really care about their business. Will be back to try something else.
