| - Stopped by for (10am) weekday breakfast. Seating was fast. Staff was nice and efficient. No frills local restaurant with classic Greek family-owned place specializing in low-price and big quantity, above quality ingredients and careful cooking. Coffee was weak, but decent-- big plus is they supplied small pitcher of fresh milk, not the "khemical kreamers" of most NC joints. Had a yearning for pancakes, so got the AMERICANA special with 2 scrambled eggs, 2 sausage patties and 2 pancakes. Pancakes were largish, fluffy and very standard tasting-- reminding me of beach pancakes as a kid. Not much taste, but goodish. Syrup was flavorless cheapo Sysco by the gallon. Butter was "butter-flavored spread' in a container. Did have a smidge of butter flavor. Sausage patties were cooked to shoe leather consistency, but had a decent taste. Eggs looked like they had been microwaved, as in one oblong fluffy blob. They were super hot, like microwaved. Could have been from a Sysco egg mix. Almost no taste or mouth appeal. Price was just $5.99, but with tax and tip, still $10 breakfast. I could have cooked better at home for $2.50. Not really worth going out to, except in a pinch or for cheapskates who hate to cook or pay for decent food. Lord knows that's most people.
