“A wonderful place to eat! We had the omelet, hash browns, bacon, French Toast with fresh strawberries and everything was absolutely delicious! The hospitality and service were great. I highly recommend.”
“Absolutely outstanding place for sandwiches, coffee, and Italian/Greek/Mediterranean cuisine. Nothing fancy, but quite filling for lunch. A nice mix of students, locals, tourists, and university faculty or staff. Everything is low key delicious and vaguely retro without being Disneyfied. Not a diner per se, but a cousin of one. Fave place in Hyde Park!”
“a quiet and comfortable place to have lunch. friendly staff and good service. lots of food for the price. good coffee. a classic diner that i will definitely come back to”
“Grabbed some veggie soup and Greek Spaghetti for dinner on a cold day. Soup was so good and soothing with lots of veggies. This is a good neighbor spot to eat and chill. I always bring my Kindle with me. Their shredded lamb sandwich is amazing.”
“Najlepsze omlety jakie jadłem. Przylatujac do Ameryki z Europy, jednym z moich marzeń było znaleźć się w takim miejscu, typowym amerykańskim lokalu z dolewkę kawy. I w tym miejscu sie sprawdziło. Obsługa uśmiechnięta i pomocna, jedzenie jak wspominałem wyżej pyszne i klimat miejsca niesamowity”
“New menu layout and new featured specials. Just as solid as ever and amazing service :)”
“Had a fantastic breakfast at Salonica! I ordered the omelets, fresh orange juice, a breakfast wrap, pickled jalapeños, and waffles — and everything hit the spot. The omelet was fluffy and flavorful, and the wrap was hearty and satisfying. I loved the extra kick from the pickled jalapeños. The waffles were golden, crisp on the outside, soft inside, and just the right amount of sweet. Plus, the fresh-squeezed orange juice was refreshing and bright. Fast, friendly service and a chill, welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back!”
“good breakfast, reasonable prices. ordered the number 3”
“Food was tasty but cold, asked for crispy hash browns, they came under-cooked and was told it would take a long time to remake. I ordered the monte cristo and don't recommend it. No syrup, powdered sugar, or jelly. It was a hot ham and cheese on egg bread.”
“This place has obviously been around for a long time and clearly has a loyal customer base. But honestly, those customers must really enjoy bland food. There seemed to be a certain crowd that typically doesn’t season their food much, so I suppose it makes sense. As for me, I just know I won’t be back.”
