The Cottage Grill

Tonight we went out for dinner at our favorite local spot. We love it so much, we thought we would share it with all of you..... It is a little place in Roger's called the Cottage Grill.
David happened upon an article in the newspaper about this restaurant started by a couple who came to America many years ago from Southern Greece. We were intrigued by their story and craving good Greek food so we thought we should give it a try. We found, much to the delight of our children, that their menu is not limited to Greek cuisine but offers a little something for everyone. Everything we have ordered comes to the table tasting like your grandma is back in the kitchen making you dinner. Some of our favorites... any thing with Gyros, the Salmon Salad, the Steak was excellent, good Vegetable soup, waffle fries and the homemade egg rolls. Last, but not least, their award winning Apple Pie may be the best I have ever had.
The Tiramisu was also delicious.... to be honest, we have yet to order anything that didn't taste great. We have found the prices to be fair and the portions to be Quite generous. It is a good thing we only go every couple of weeks or our waistlines would show it.


The food is what started us going there but it is only part of what keeps us coming back.
This place is truly a family affair. We met Libby and her daughter Joanne the first time we went. Joanne helps to manage the restaurant with all the beauty and joy you could imagine. It feels like she should be a long lost cousin or a good friend. Her brother runs the kitchen and Mom is always around whipping up some new dessert. Of course we, not being the shy type, have made quick friends of everyone and are looking forward to many more meals shared together. So stop on by... and tell them we sent you. And be sure to save room for the apple pie!!
