I’ve been a few times, food is good but nothing to rave about. Service is sub par most of the time and depends widely upon who is working. I called the other day to place an order for pickup on my lunch and was told to hang on for a minute as she set the phone down. I was already heading that way from East Lansing, about a 10 minute drive with the traffic. During that 10 minutes I could hear the lady who answered the phone among multiple other servers making small talk with each other, customers, and just sitting at the computer typing away. I was basically pulling up to their location when the lady who first answered finally picked up the phone confused as to why it was just sitting there. 10 minutes on hold while the employees chit chat amongst themselves and completely forget about someone waiting to place an order?!?!?!? After the first minute I stayed on the line out of sheer curiosity for how long it would go on.

There are plenty of other places in Okemos to get a burger, I have no problem giving them my business if this is how they plan on treating customers. I went across the street to Lou and Harry’s, was greeted with a smile, and had great food in front of me within 5 minutes, I’ll probably go there for lunch again today even.

Just for the record I’ve thought about leaving a poor service review for awhile but slow/poor service hadn’t been enough motivation until now.

I’ve been there a couple of times so far. They have the best Gyro I’ve tasted in the Lansing area. The Lamb meat is grilled on the spit and shaved off to order. Some other places order Gyro meat that is pre-sliced and divided out on wax paper. Worlds of difference in taste. I’d go here for a Gyro any day of the week over Lou & Harry’s (bleh).

They are also offering their soups free for the first month, though I’ve not taken them up on the offer yet. The waitresses are all new and may forget to offer that up. Onion rings are the bagged stuff, but are cooked properly and in generous proportions. I’m probably going to do breakfast here on Saturday before going to work. They have Waffles on the menu, and it calls to me..
