Updated Oct 2023, first off if the Panthers are playing a home game they are open at about 11 ish to 11:30. I hate to tell this out as it is really easy to order food (at the Bar) and then go upstairs to the dining area and wait for it. I had the Nefelies Pita and the wife had the Lemon Pepper chicken. The food was hot and tasty. The review below was over a year old and still stands. I will say the music was a bit loud for us but a younger crowd would probably be ok with it. The dining room upstairs, in the section with the tables is quite as there are no speakers in that section.
Stop here on the way to the Panthers game. The bar was slam packed so we went upstairs to the dining room. One other couple enjoying a nice quiet atmosphere shared the entire room with us. Have ate here before so we kinda knew what we wanted. I ended up with the Lime chicken and wife had the London broil. Sides were greens, friend potatoes, Okra, and rice. There are other side choices also. Food was quick, hot and very good. They specialize in Greek gyros. Will have to try those later. Update from month ago, had the steak and roasted potatoes. It was good and had a nice side dish of spinach greens. Food rated as previously. One big caveat. If coming here on a night where the Panthers are playing (or the Knights for that matter) expect it to be a little slow due to the surge crowds at the bar and outside in the Latta Arcade. Allow at least an...

In response to the owners comment. I was with you until your last two lines. Judge on one thing? Yes, it's what I had and this is a review. Was everything that bad? Nothing in the order was worth trying again in my opinion, that is what a review by one person is. As far as doing this to anyone else??? That is what a review is and there are many who seem to think what you serve is appropriate for them. As for me I expressing my opinion to those who may want "Greek" food and perhaps some of your other items meet their expectation but what I had was far below what I expected. If it offends you then you can reflect, perhaps search out what Greek cuisine is and strive to emulate that or just say you are casual and influenced by some Greek oriented cuisine. In a competitive market consumers have choice and they can vote with their dollar, what I have stated is I voted and I am letting others know that the thing I ordered was below the expectation of what I had hoped for. Do you want objective or do you want me to pander? Do you think a chef Ramsey...
Read moreThis is one of my favorite places to go to for lunch uptown. Although I’ve been many times, the Lemon Pepper Chicken is what brings me in. It’s so good.
I always place my togo order upstairs at the window. It’s quick and painless. There is a bar to sit at while you wait. If you go during normal lunch hours, expect there to be a lunch rush and the order could take a little longer, but it never takes a long time. I’m normally in and out within 15 minutes.
I normally get the same sides when I go too. I order the roasted potatoes and the fried okra. With the lemon pepper chicken, I always get the sauce on the side and use it more as a dip. I find that the sauce can be a little over powering if it’s poured onto the chicken. This way I can flavor it as needed.
They have specials Monday - Friday, so there is always something on special to try out. Monday is Lemon Pepper Chicken day :)
I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try out a new place uptown without breaking the bank to do so. There are so many restaurants uptown now, it’s a little hard to make it to them all, but if you are on the Wells Fargo side, it’s worth the trip for sure. If you are in a hurry,...
