Had a great breakfast here. They offer the standard fare that most others do for breakfast, but they up the quality. The sausage was near name brand if not. The hash browns had some flavor to them like they added onion or spice. They also were well browned and moist. Over easy eggs were just that. They also give a choice of dry toast or buttered. I got the buttered and they actually put a good amount of melted butter on them. To top it off, you get a huge cup of coffee with free refills and service was great. We have been here for lunch many times and have always been pleased. It may now be our go to place for breakfast.

Stopped in yesterday (day before Thanksgiving) at 4:30 while on a road trip to the in-laws for the holiday. Saw good reviews on yelp, figured this would be a safe bet. The owner was a nice older Greek gentleman who promptly seated us, and a waitress came by in good time to take our order. All good so far, until the food arrived. Let's go in order from best to worst. My son was fighting off a cold, he had a bowl of chicken noodle soup which he said was good. My wife and I had sides of creamed corn, which was fine. My wife and daughter each had the beef kabobs. Lots of meat, big chunks but VERY tough. Served on beds of rice which was undercooked to the point of being inedible. I had the gyro plate. I love gyros, have had gyros from dozens of places. This was easily the worst gyro I've ever had in my life. It was that generic gyro meat, which is usually fine by me, but it was cut as 2 long thick slabs (normally places shave it off the big "roast" and grill it) and was suck-the-moisture-out-of-your-mouth dry! They must have been running the vertical rotisserie for hours without cutting any meat off to get it that desiccated. I've had beef jerky with higher moisture content than my gyro meat. I was specific with the date and time we were here because I'm hoping the nice Greek owner will take notice and fire whoever was the cook at that time. The owner spent the time we were there moving from table to table chatting with some of the older diners, who were obviously regulars. His time might have been better spent supervising what was going on in his kitchen. One of the worst overall dining experiences we have had in years. None of us except my son was able to finish even half of their meal.

We stumbled across Andreas just tonight by using the Yelp. The food is so amazing we are planning to eat here at least 2 more times before heading back to Texas. BBQ Shrimp-on the Barbie Greek salad was a out of the park home run!!'

My brother took my husband & I here for breakfast. Have to say best place for quality home cooked food in Winter Haven. Omelets were delicious & gourmet quality coffee that was hot. Keri our waitress was on top of everything & took really good care of us. We also ordered pancakes that melted in your mouth. Also the owner Niko made his way around the restaurant talking to everyone. Great ambiance, Family style. They serve Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. Definitely our spot to go to when we are visiting our family in Winter Haven, FL

If you're looking for very good food at reasonable prices then look no further, we eat at Andrea's a couple of times a week and the food is always fresh and well prepared. The staff is very friendly and this place is clean. They always have good daily specials as well. Thank you and keep up the good work! BTW, I find the portions to be more than enough.

I had the gyro plate. It was really good. Not like your shredded meat gyros. The place was really clean and the staff was very friendly. The owner was walking around talking to people like old friends. Real nice experience.

Ii have lived in New York so I knew the best gyros in the city. I went to this place hoping for the spicyness of an authentic gyro... This is not "authentic"! It's more of like an American version! Disappointed. I have to ask for hot sauce. My gyro plate they say comes w/ beef and lamb... There was no lamb on it, but it looked like a very very thin meat patty. I know the taste and the smell of real lamb, but this is not definitely it!

Got the Haddock daily special & stole some of my kids' chicken kabobs. Both were very good & very reasonably priced. I live near Destin, FL, & there is no place that I know of around there with seafood portions that big & tasty...unless you want to pay a fortune. The service was also very good & friendly. If we ever go back to LEGOLAND, we'll definitely stop back in.

Good food, cheap. All with a Greek-style flavoring, even the spaghetti, which differentiates it from other "diners." Everything seems to be homemade, which I love, and the best thing on the menu are the sirloin tips!

Went to lunch here with a group of 8 on a Saturday afternoon. Although the place was busy, they rearranged tables and seated us right away. The atmosphere is very pleasant and comfortable, and most important, very clean. The service was excellent. When I found out the owners of this restaurant are of Greek heritage, I went straight for the Gyro (usually an oddity to find on a family restaurant menu). It was delicious, although the pita was served flat and much too big to fold, so I ended up eating it with a fork! I had a side of cole slaw, which was excellent (with a touch of sweetness which is how I like my slaw). Almost all of the others in my party selected the Country Fried Steak or the Wild Country Fried Steak. My mother shared a bite of hers (country fried steak) with me, and it was good. Really good. I'm not from this neck of the woods, but if I go back I will visit this place again and definitely get the Country Fried Steak. It was tender, melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

I enjoy this place very much it a little place but very good atmosphere and great service. I eat here frequently. I suggest getting in there early during snowbird season. They always have daily specials. The catfish, lamb chops, and kabob platter are a few of my favorites.

Breakfast is always good out on a rainy Monday morning, or so I thought. This small (Greek?) family restaurant is cute inside but has a funky "old people smell." Two cheerful waitresses easily covered the dining room, less than half full. However, the bland food was slow to come out of the kitchen, the grits were lumpy, tomatoes were tasteless, the toast was too toasted (reheated?). The hubs' "Polk County Omelette" was offensively topped with processed cheese food slices. (Don't get me started on "typical Polk County" insults.) Southern folks probably shouldn't expect a good country breakfast from any place but home.

This is by far one of my favorite places to go whenever I am in town. Truly authentic Greek food, awesome service and really reasonably priced. I always get the pita and tzatziki sauce to start. The chicken kabob is also always my favorite entree . the portions are huge!!

I had been craving a good gyro, nay, a decent gyro for days. I saw the good reviews on Andrea's and ordered take out for two gyro plates and a grilled cheese to please the little one. I have to say, the pita bread was absolutely phenomenal. I'm not sure if its made fresh or if they lightly fried the bread after receiving it, but I could have had the pita bread with the tzatziki sauce and been happy as could be. The big disappointment for me was the gyro meat is a patty, and not the traditionally shaved meat that I was really hoping to see in a good gyro. The patty was a bit dry and then drenched in a salty seasoning. The fried bearing no salt. The prices were very fair. My plate was $6 and we even received approximately 35 ketchup packets on the house. (Maybe to help the fries a bit?) Also, the service was quick. We waited maybe 5 minutes after calling in and showing up about 10 minutes early. 'Twas average, thus the middle of the road rating. Don't run by with no looking back, but keep your expectations fair and you'll leave content.

We go there all the time and have so for 20 years. Good family place. Their soups are always great. They are very accommodating. It is not a fancy five star, but it is a friendly home place. Prices not bad either.

My first rating and visit put this "real Greek food, made in America" (It's slogan) place at 4 stars. An ensuing trip was disappointing, probably a "2", so I'm splitting the difference and calling in 3 stars. I'd recommend you stick with the specials and the Greek food. They come out more quickly. I ordered spaghetti the second trip. It took 20 minutes to come out. They used linguini noodles and it didn't taste "Italian", with a light pink flavorless sauce. It came with creamed corn in a stiff peaked cream sauce-tasty but not stove hot. They served it with a fried garlic dough--wet and heavy. It's a Pepsi place so I had water. Service disappeared after delivery. They are busy with senior citizens--probably due to the fabulous prices. A filling meal averages $7.50. Lots of fried chicken was being served around the room. and many fish dishes.

Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.
