Neapolis Family Restaurant

They stay "stick to what you know", and Neapolis Family Restaurant follows that credo to a tee: leaving the cutting-edge haute cuisine to the other guys, the name of the game here is familiar homestyle diner fare, served with a smile in a spacious dining room that's humble but clean and well-kept — "the prototypical family restaurant", in the words of one reviewer. To describe Neapolis as a Buffalo-style Greek diner would be technically true but a bit misleading; the souvlaki, Greek salad, and so forth that's on the menu actually pales in comparison to their classic all-American offerings, such as a range of burgers and melt sandwiches, corned-beef hash, and mind-blowing milkshakes made the old-fashioned way. Breakfast starts early and continues all day, with a workmanlike slate of pancakes, omelettes, and egg-meat-and-toast permutations augmented by delicious homemade pastry. Hearty dinner platters are added to the menu on Friday nights, when they stay open past lunchtime until 8PM. Service at this family-owned stalwart can sometimes be slow, but it's always extremely friendly, with a genuine personal touch — come in a few times and they'll remember your name for years — and the food is ''cheap''. A real hidden gem, this place is.
