I've eaten here many times over the years. It's the usual Greek family owned restaurant much like the countless others in Charlotte... except they have an abundance of overgrown plants, worn carpet, old upholstery, really old kids' pictures and drawings and dusty trophies used as decor. You can tell that they (along with every other American) are struggling during these hard times. You can see it in the lady's eyes at the register. You can tell that they've had some health issues and that things aren't rolling as smoothly as perhaps they once did.
The daily special menu is an over copied, jumbled mix of typed and hand written items; some with corresponding numbers and some without. Their food used to be a lot like the old Gus' Sir Beef on Monroe Road, some of the menu numbers were even the same, but now it's just so so. Nothing is great anymore like it used to be, not even the fried squash :-( I stay away from the plastic menu and always order from the daily specials. Some items are usually acceptable, but I find that even those items are dwindling as time passes.
Times are indeed difficult for everyone and my money is tight, I just can't justify spending my money here much anymore.
