    Fresh!Fresh!Fresh! And Delicious! These days it seems it's not worth the money to eat out. So it was a real treat to find this place. Small in size but packs a punch with fresh ingredients and great service. I absolutely love St. Mary and this place was the icing on the cake.

    My favorite Greek food in the area! Weather permitting, I love to sit on the patio to eat. The staff is always friendly with great service. The French fries are so good so I usually get the gyro with fries and the Greek salad. A true gem in Saint Mary's!

    The cafe was walking distance from our VRBO cottage on the Cumberland waterfront. We dropped in for lunch and took advantage of their great Greek focused menu. My wife had the Greek salad with gyro meat, and I had the gyro sandwich. It was a lovely meal. Great porch seating and lots of indoor seating with large windows overlooking the beautiful waterfront. Our waittress Kailey was fantastic. She gave us extra sauces and cokes to go when we asked for them. Lots of families with young children were everywhere, as well as all age groups.

    We spent the afternoon strolling along the water in St. Mary's and decided to stop for a cool drink and seek some shade. We sat at table #13 where we met a nice young lady our waitress, Abbie. We sat there and enjoyed the wonderful breeze and beautiful view of the river and shared a delicious large piece of cheesecake. We were new to the area and had lots of questions for Abbie and she was like our own personal welcome committee person who gave us directions and things to do in about 5 minutes, thank you Abbie! The view was superb, the service was outstanding and the afternoon was the ultimate. We will return.

    A great location overlooking the river and the ferry. A local spot with Greek fare. We had a deluxe gyro and a regular gyro (w/o shipping de salad and fries). Everything was tasty!

    This place is always great! No matter what I have ordered from the menu it's always been outstanding. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. They also have some of the best deserts I've ever had. I recommend the Baklava!

    This restaurant is directly across the street from where you'd catch the ferry to go over to Cumberland ferry . It has a nice view of the river with its outside tables. It's a Greek restaurant even though it's name doesn't imply that . The food was great . We started with the taziki and hummus appetizer. The pita was nice and toasty and the dips were excellent. I had the gyro deluxe with fries which was huge . It was delicious . The chicken on the platter was moist and seasoned perfectly. Husband had a Reuben , the only non Greek item on the menu. It looked delicious and he said it was great . The only minus was the service . While the service was good and prompt , our server had a flat affect . It was odd and robot like . She responded to no niceties at all . But overall still a very good meal and I wouldn't hesitate to go again.

    Save up your money for the short drive to St. Mary's, GA to this humble dining experience. The menu has variety of options for you to try. I have very little to non-existent Greek dining experience so when I saw words I couldn't pronounce on the menu, I said, YEP, I'll try that! What a great decision. 1st, Mozzarella Caprese, a great appetizers. 2nd, Bifteki, key components, lamb, pork and beef! Key reactions, mmm, MMM, MMM-Damn Good! This patty is so good, ketchup will actually ruin it. Bite after bite, it's simplicity makes it a standout patty you'll enjoy. Again, Do Not Add Ketchup! Or you'll be eating "another burger", snore boring. The waitress was an original Southern Belle delight. Indoor and outdoor seating options that look out on water. Not if but when you go, definitely try this restaurant!
