Fodor's Review:

The claim to fame here is the saganaki, the Greek flaming-cheese dish, which the Parthenon says it invented in the late 1960s, thereby introducing "opa!" to the American vocabulary. They also take credit for being the first to serve gyros stateside. True or not, indulge the legends and stick to these classics. The food is cheap and the atmosphere festive, generating happy campers.
