Great food and staff! Well worth a stop! The owners were real characters and if you're a route 66 traveler, this is a must stop it's right down the street from old classic 60s route 66 motel

The Philly cheese steak and Chilli cheese fries are great! The only other thing I had was the Italian beef. It was really good also. You won't leave hungry that's for sure!

I purchased the Gyro meal with Fries and a drink. The gyro meat was delicious and the fries were hot a crunchy. My partner ordered the beef burrito meal with fries and drink. The burrito was huge and full of ingredients. He said it was great and the burrito was so big he couldn't finish it all. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. I definitely will visit again. My favorite places to eat are the family owned dives, loved it here!

Food is pretty good Chicago style. Specials aren't too badly priced either. They don't carry your normal sodas.

Wow! This place is good! I can't think of anything here that we ordered that I did not enjoy. We had (of all things) gyro meat on our pizza!!! Why is this not typical at all pizza joints?!?! So we had a pizza with gyro meat, a pita with gyro, a Chicago style dog, and a philly cheese steak sandwich. We washed all this down with baskets of fries and chili cheese fries. Each item one was great and exactly what you expect when you order food like this. It was happy, fatty, and oh so delicious! I loved it! The pizza was caked over with cheese and the gyro meat topping was beautifully done. I wouldn't be surprised if they cook it fresh right there in the back. I'm curious to find out if they can make a Wisconsin three cheese burger sandwich a la marchellonis which is in the same town. In fact we tried to get this wonderful pizza but they were closed all day and I was just soooo sad! So as dessert, I had a chicago dog which was booomb! It had green peppers, and all the fixins. Check out the picture because I don't recall what else was in it except for goodness and yum stuff. I was transfixed by the colors! It reminded me of that meal the lost boys imagined and then ate in the movie "Hook"! All those colors feeding me! As second dessert, I had half of the gyro pita thing which I fell in love with. I'm surprised there is now some Greek food in Pontiac!!! I hope they embrace it and open up to a wider variety of Cuisines in years to come! They had that tzatziki spread in it and it was topped with fresh veggies and a great meat/bread/veggie ratio! The Philly cheesesteak sammich was messy and delicious! I don't think I've ever had a neat Philly cheesesteak sandwich nor do I wish to. It hit the spot and fulfilled everything I needed third dessert to be! All this, and I killed a bunch of chili cheese fries for good measure and washed it down with a few refills of Diet Coke... yes diet... cuz I'm trying to watch my weight yo! Check out this grub and appreciate these photos!!! They slowed down my eating by several seconds!!!
