"You Greek Burger"
You can tell a Greek owns this place and don’t think I’m saying that because there’s some cheese Greek column décor or blue and white everything. There no trace of anything like that. The reason you can tell is because there’s a salad called “Greek Owner Greek Salad”. OK bad joke but it’s true.

You have items like this burger called the Hilly Billy which you know is the way you say Hill Billy in Grenglish. What got my attention was the “You Greek” Burger. Don’t think of a burger with feta or topped with gyros. It’s got Mediterranean dressing (I forgot to as the server what that is exactly) and herb mayo with cucumbers, red onion and lettuce but what is impressive is that it’s topped with saganaki cheese!!! You choose your bun which has a fat fried pickle pierced right on top. Pork Nachos aren’t Greek at all but very tasty so make sure you get an order of that and don't pass on the soup. They make amazing soups that come with a nice crusty piece of seasoned bread. Go for the chicken noodle. It has a smoky taste that’s an awesome little twist on this classic.

This is what I call a sandwich. Top quality ingredients and fresh seems like an easy enough philosophy to follow but I can’t make them taste like this at home. The sandwiches are amazing but be sure to look at their special menu where you can bring home dinner that tastes like you paid top dollar. OK it’s not exactly cheap here either but remember you get what you pay for. Anything you get here is top notch. Chow is the perfect place for lunch and the best place to pick up dinner for the house.
