Family-owned/run restaurants are always interesting because they can be so hit-and-miss. But once you get a "hit", there's always something special about it because it brings a different charm from big fancy places: There's always the warm welcome, the cozy/homey atmosphere, and the overly-generous helping of hearty home-cooked heaps of food.
Terry's is definitely one of those "hits". We went to this Greek restaurant for breakfast and left with a (wonderful) food coma. We had:
- Spanakopita omelette: A great way to put a Greek twist to the standard breakfast omelette. Plus they were super generous in the fresh spinach and feta cheese they stuffed into it.
- Gyro and eggs: Seems a bit weird, but the combination worked. The gyros were cooked well, though a bit too salty for my taste. I had them with soft poached eggs, which were done well.
- Apple caramel pancakes: 3 huge fluffy pancakes, with generous slices of apple in and around them, and the caramel soaked throughout. I wad afraid the caramel would be too much but it actually wasn't as overpowering as I thought.
We joked with one of the servers before our meal that we may have over-ordered and she reassured us they had take-away boxes on standby. To both our delight, those weren't needed. We'll definitely be back, maybe next time to try their lunch/dinner menu.
