Check the menu for your favorite food. Eggs and omelettes in all popular styles (served with potatoes or grits) along with pancakes, French toast and waffles are always available.

The Big Breakfast ($6.75) consists of two eggs, two pancakes, two slices of bacon and two sausages with potatoes and toast.

We arrived at dinnertime and were pleased to find that the Early Bird Dinners ($9.95) were still available (from 4 until 8 Mon. thru Fri.).

However, we ordered one of the Evening Specials (which includes a cup of rich lentil soup), Baked Ziti with meat sauce. It was the biggest serving I have ever been offered!

Shiri, our waitress, knew it is a dish for a hearty appetite and was quick to offer a take home container. A salad with dressing of your choice was included as was dessert – all for $10.95.

My partner ordered from the regular menu – a Filet of Sole stuffed with spinach and Feta cheese (Greek style) served with a medley of veggies and potato of choice. Salad and dessert were also included.

Be sure to check the menu listings for other Greek and Italian specialties and all the familiar comfort foods.

A large variety of sandwiches – including Reuben and Monte Cristo – as well as assorted cold platters are listed as are special diet versions of dishes.

Uncle Bill’s is at your service round the clock with reasonable prices and generous servings.
