The food was hot and fresh. The best churros around. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Absolutely FANTASTIC cheeseburger! It's not crazy looking or anything. Actually, pretty normal looking, but the taste and their mix of type and amount of toppings is perfect! I was having a beer next door while stopping in town in the bike and the bartender told me about the food next door. They delivered the burger, which was awesome. And then, the taste, it was just like a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese, but with a better bun and little more taste. I'll definitely eat here when I'm in St Anne again.

So delicious- we had regular and chicken gyro, and also a cheeseburger. Fries were even good!

Burger was very good and cheese fries delicious! Nice crispy mozzarella sticks too!

Very small place with just a few tables but the food was fantastic and it was authentic Greek food. Had large serving size as well.

We had a single and a triple gyro Closest thing in town to up north food. It was fantastic. The single made 2 very big gyros The triple… if we would have asked for 3 more pitas. There still would have been leftover meat! Super fresh Taziki sauce. Made in house! Fresh sliced onion and tomato. (That was actually ripe!) And they have the good fries..
