I love gyros, I've tried them all over the place, and this place is definitely worth a try. Great flavor, enough meat in ever bite andnvery good tzatziki. Dined in, friendly staff, retro style, looks they are updating which is good. You can tell they focus on the food and that's why we come here. Drive thru available

I have been eating these burgers for 30+ years and consider them to be the best tasting burgers in Riverside County.

Giving this place the benefit of the doubt. On my first visit, I learned the dining room closes at 2. I'll be back some day because the food pics look amazing! But I will dine in. My conversation with the staff was very pleasant.

50s diner decor. Drive thru is easy to get into and clean. Good food, lots of options. Gyros are our favorite and love the french fries. Staff is very polite to the customers. Handicap accessible. Patio seating too. Great place for families and large enough for parties.
