    I had a great dinner at Amphora Diner. Wonderful friendly staff. Our server Trillian was the best. Super helpful and friendly. My cheese burger was the best tasting burger ever! I wish I would have had time to try the delicious looking desserts. I highly recommend going. Next time I'm intown I'll be back!

    Amphora's Diner Deluxe provides exactly what I want in a diner. It's got really tasty food, lots of seating, convenient parking and good service. The service isn't that quick, but I don't want to feel pushed out of the restaurant, so I appreciated the level of service provided. I've been several times and the food has never disappointed me. I will definitely return!

    Came in here on a hungry Monday. The staff recommended “steak and eggs” over “chicken and waffle”. Steak and eggs were so good that I had to order chicken and waffle too. Several staffs greeted me. Had my coffee filled multiple times while I worked on my laptop. Beautiful day, left the diner happy.

    Had a great lunch there with my son. Sandwiches and omelets were excellent and huge portions. Didn’t eat a cookie but they were so cute I had to take a picture!

    Trillian was a fabulous server. Kind and informative. We ordered the cheeseburger and Spanakopita. The French fries are the best I’ve eaten (and I normally don’t like fries). They are handmade. The spanakopita was house made and absolutely delicious. The cheeseburger was ordered by my friend and he said it was also perfectly cooked and also delicious. The manager and perhaps the chef came out to check on us and say hello (Fabulous customer service and it’s hard to find these days). I highly recommend stopping by for a bite. Oh, and we didn’t have a chance to have dessert, but they have a huge variety and they look delicious as well.

    Workers were very nice and knew the menu really well. The waiter and owner were amazing when my cousins food wasn’t correct. Had the shepherds pie and it was cooked to perfection.

    A very good restaurant with a delightful owner. It has most varied menu you will find anywhere! American, Italian, Greek, Mediterranean. Check the menu out on line. Had the “Island Hopper” with three geek specialties and all were excellent. Some of the best Greek food I’ve had. Be sure to try the warm Baklava you will not be disappointed
