"So good. I ordered the fried gym shoe. It is so packed full of juicy, seasoned meat, onions, and peppers. It's not something you can finish in one sitting. I mean you probably could but you shouldn't. It's a lot lol. It also comes with a little side salad and the fries as well as tzatziki and mild sauce for the gym shoe. They have a new regular for sure."

"I love food so I was told to go to famous...I did not know it was part of a gas station (thanks cuzin). This food was so good and the staff is so friendly I went back the next day. Corn beef was delicious and nephew liked the buffalo tenders. My sister enjoyed the gymshoe (there famous for it) but I think I'll do turkey next."

"I love the food here. I always get either the Large Challenge sub, a gyro plate with cheese, or a 4-6 piece wing fried hard extra extra lemon pepper. They don’t over do it with seasonings here so you have to ask for extra if that’s what you want. We don’t call the workers “ock” we call them “CUZZO”. Just walk in and yell CUZZO!!! And tell em Mugsy sent you."
