I went to Cronos Cafe for the first time in a long time. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm and cozy which made the experience better. However, I feel that there could be small improvements to enhance the overall experience. The food was very tasty, and everything seemed to be fresh. The service was good (I wouldn’t say great) but we felt that there was an underlying feeling of being rushed. We finished our meal at 7:30, and while the restaurant closed at 8, we were not asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. I was also surprised to see that they did not have any alcohol on the menu. A selection of a white and red wine and a few different types of beers would have added to my experience. Also, the restaurant has odd hours (4-8) Wednesday to Saturday. I don’t know of too many people who eat dinner or lunch at 4pm. I would say that they do need to allow people to finish their meals without the sense of feeling rushed out the door. I also noticed that a woman came in it at 7:20 and they refused her service which I felt was odd as they said they closed their kitchen at 7:20 which was 40 minutes before closing.

Ordered take out for the first time tonight. Enjoyed the chicken souvlaki pita and side of fries! Great portion sizes, full of flavour and very filling! Service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back!

A hidden gem! My boyfriend is a local here and he haven’t even been to this place. The costumer service is amazing. It has a very casual set of menu but it was to die for. I got myself a bacon mushroom cheeseburger and he got a pork souvlaki. It was tasty and it’s homemade! Go check it out

I've been going to this place for years and highly recommend to anyone that will listen. All the food is delicious but their gyro is the best I've had. Ever. Soups are always amazing. Clubhouse is ridiculous... Full chicken breast, thick cut bread... I hope this place never closes it would be a loss to TBay.

Cronos Cafe is the only place I dine at. The food is always tasty, fresh, and well presented, the service is fast and friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming and calm. 15 yrs of dining here never have been disappointed. Outstanding Gyro, Burgers, Sammies, BEST FRIES in town! Try the soup!!!

Such a hidden gem! We try new menu items every visit, and Cronos never fails to impress. Fresh ingredients, home style cooking, friendly waitstaff, tasteful interior deco, ... it's got it all. Their carrot cake is excellent, so I hope you save some room for dessert.

So good! Came here because the wait at a different Greek restaurant was taking to long and did not regret it. The service was fast and friendly. I had a pita with pesto and feta on it. The pesto was made fresh and was delicious. I also had a Greek salad with chicken which was great too, lots of feta and a good amount of lemon in the dressing. My husband had a chicken souvlaki wrap which he devoured. He had fries on the side which were clearly freshly made when we ordered. I would come here often, maybe too often, if I lived in town. Definitely recommend.

Amazing little lunch-time restaurant with great Greek food. Hummus, tzatziki, falafel and gyros are all to die for. Also a must try is the espresso milkshake. Great service, cute interior, awesome food.

Really enjoyed the meal I had , it came out quickly and was portioned very well. They seem to have lots of people going for lunch possibly due to the fact that the food came out very quickly. Coffee cup was always full and never had to get the attention of someone to fill my cup.

The souvlaki is fantastic, and I am a big fan of the Greek salad. The location is a little out of the way and the restaurant is dated, however I have always enjoyed the food. I have out of town colleagues ask me to take them back for souvlaki!

Ive been going here since the mid 90s so I have a lot of history with the place from my high school days. I really enjoy coming back and seeing how well they are doing now and how great the food is. The place is what it is meant to be, a casual and cozy diner. The prices are amazingly cheap and the food is extremely tasty. The burger is incredible, seriously good stuff.

This is truly one of Thunder Bays culinary gems. The food is full of flavour, and no corners are ever cut when it comes to the quality (something so many other restaurants in TBay fall victim to). Also, the atmosphere is very relaxed, well put together, and the staff are always welcoming. Decent cappuccinos too.
