    Wow, is this place awesome. Really wish I would have known about this place years ago. Everything, and I mean everything was awesome. The menu is friken huge and its served 24hours as far as I've been told. A dinner for 3 was $78 plus tip, and that includes a few glasses of vino. The portions are massive... I consider myself a glutton, and I couldn't come close to finishing. Right as you sit down, you are served fresh baked bread and something called Spanakopita (Spinach Pie).. which is awesome(even though I'm not a huge spinach fan). Then you get soup and salad too.. Every main course ordered was awesomegreatwin, and again, huge portions. Then you get to desert that you have zero room for, but order anyways, because you've been staring at the desert treasure trove since you walked in the door. 2 giant showcases of cake, cheesecake etc.. which all look delecious. Check it out people! I'm linking the ginormous menu for you guys to peep... Its on Cobb Parkway just south of the big chicken..

    Yep it's one of my favorites. It's close by and you can get a lot of really good food for cheap. THey've been featured on Foodnetwork a couple times.

    the only 3 times ive been it was pretty good, a little greasy but what you'd expect. the same owners also own the marietta seafood company (canton rd) and pasta bella (austell rd, disgustingly greasy).

    funny thing is, the owners are neither american nor italian, their greek assholes lol

    I didn't find it greasy at all... maybe it was just the foods we chose..

    I've only eaten there once and thought it was a cool place. It's one of those things where I don't ever see myself craving it, but I would definitely eat there again.

    Maybe my tastes are not as picky as some... Not like its fine dining or anything, but I think its much better than 2am drunk food. On par or better than restaurants in the same price range.... I can't afford a $30 hamburger like some on this site :)
