I love this place! It's a welcoming atmosphere with friendly and speedy (but not rushed) service and good food. It's one of my favorite breakfast places and I recommend everyone try it at least once. It has a good location off of Highway 441 that's easy to get into. It has a nice small feel balanced with ample parking, making this a convenient and well-balanced dining experience.

Ordered the gyro sandwich with fries. Gyro sandwich had plenty of gyro meat piled high. Had a bowl of chicken rice soup, Great flavor really dense stick to your ribs soup. Two people with me ordered omelets. Their hash browns were not greasy, nicely made. The pancakes they make have a malted flavor to them really sets them apart from your average pancake. Great flavor. The place has a cozy charm to it. The service was really good. I will definitely be returning.

I love potato pancakes, but these were a huge disappointment. They tasted like they were fried in a previous pan of fish and had excessive batter with little potato shreddings. Sausage was good.

I come here a lot and generally the food is great and the prices are great too. But last time I got a little food poisoning because right after I got home it wasn’t good. I will still come here because this can happen anywhere.

I had to redo my review. Because my last few times here it has gone down hill. Last time in person got shoved in a corner amd took forever. The last 2 times we ordered for pick up my order was wrong. Called the 1st time and they changed it, but now a 2nd time in a row??? What is so hard about writing down a customers order?

Came from Texas to visit family, so excited to try this place, came in and asked for a kids menu and I have a medical condition, even had the medical bracelet saying so. I was told I could not order off the kids menu by hostess Lisa, we went ahead and sat down for service, waited over 20 min and no one came to take our drink order. We ended up leaving so disappointed

They really should warn you that the omelet is 4 eggs! Huge, and a matching pile of hash browns to go with it. We'll do a split plate next time.

Clean and friendly service, but the food is not good. Over cooked pancakes, I got a skillet that wasn’t even hot! The bottom was so soggy and so many huge tomato chunks so there was so much juice on the bottom of the skillet. I drained the juice on to a small plate and that was full of juice. This place used to have really good food. Won’t return.

Overall service was great. The restaurant is a little dated and could use a refresher. The prices were pretty good for the food that you received, and the overall quality was good. The booths are certainly not meant for six average size people and I would recommend going to a table. Certain things on the menu seem to be better than others. The large gyros and small gyros seem to be the same size, so avoid getting the bigger one. It was a waste of a couple dollars. It was an average experience each time I went.

UPDATE: I visited on 10/5/24 and was so disappointed in my go-to place. The welcoming smiles and tone in used to were missing. Food took way longer than usual. The food and coffee were of lesser quality than usual. Omelet was overcooked and lacked meat, and coffee was watered down. The cashier said every restaurant does gyro omelets different, trying to brush off my comments. No buddy, you all are cheaping out. I've been here enough in the past to know when the quality of a plate has changed.
--------
This place was awesome. It's so awesome, in fact, that I went the next morning as well. The food was tasty, the service was outstanding, the prices were decent, and the coffee was good. All around, a great place for a solo meal or family meal. Highly recommend.

Classic breakfast spot. None of the food was impressive, but it was decent. What really put me off was the manager that was criticizing his staff repeatedly in front of the customers. He was standing in the front prep area 4-5ft from customers and was arguing with his staff about scheduling almost the entire time I was dining.

Galvans busy but they seated me right away, I ordered the low-carb skillet and it came up fast. The waiter was courteous, friendly, and helpful and my meal was delicious reasonably priced also today’s inflationary cost and I would definitely go back to Galvin. It’s very clean, friendly, courteous service and excellent breakfast try it out sometime.

A lady a few tables ahead of me couldn't have powdered sugar on her french toast but it arrived with it anyway. The waitress brought it back to the kitchen where the cooks complained very loudly! "Who can't eat powdered sugar?" In a very snarky tone. This went on for a good 5 minutes...loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear. I was thoroughly embarrassed for the customer and will not likely eat here again. Very disappointed with how the cooks and the wait staff handled themselves.

We came here on a Sunday morning when there was a soccer tournament nearby so it was pretty busy. The service was okay, although the restaurant was pretty crowded with the amount of tables in there. The food was pretty good! My group liked the biscuits and gravy, the burger, and the frittata.
