Reviews for Amphora Diner Deluxe in Herndon, VA
First time visit (for lunch). Restaurant wasn?t too busy. No front of the house staff when I came in, so just wandered to the... counter. 38 page menu (no joke!) so lots of selections. Went with the Grecian grilled cheese - slices of lamb/beef gyro meat ongarlic brushed bread with feta cheese. Sounded interesting, though was slightly dubious. It was AMAZING. The meat wasexceptionally flavorful and tender (and generously portioned). Bread was perfectly toasted. Excellent tzatziki sauce (came onthe side). Sides of both cole slaw (very good) and fries (on the soggy side - really the only culinary disappointment). Servicewas fine, but not especially attentive given the sparse lunch crowd. Prices were decent - got out for under $20 (sandwich,fries and a drink). I?m game to try it again?maybe breakfast next time? Read more
I really like this place... Has an old school feel w/ out feeling outdated... When you walk in there is the big long pie display... case...and it was full with ALL KINDS of FRESH pies, cakes and other goodies. The facility was clean, and smelled of deliciousconcoctions. We were seated promptly and provided service by a waiter who took 3 tables orders with not a pen, pencil, nor asingle piece of paper in his hands. And the order WAS dead accurate. The bar, while small, had a very nice selection, thedrinks were STRONG, they definitely are not shy w/ making you a good drink... Screwdriver for me. The food was priced fairly.My wife enjoyed a waffle w/ country ham, and and egg w/ onion and green pepper mixed in. I had the home made sausage biscuit w/egg & cheese.. This thing was CRAZY GOOD too my people.... Moist. All I can say... M.O.I.S.T.(mouth just watered thinking of itagain.. lol!) My brother is a simple man, be had Pancakes, eggs and sausage that he demolished, so it has to be good. The onlycomplaint we had was the Cinnamon/Sugar French Toast really don't have much Cinnamon or sugar going on... All in all a greatexperience, and we plan to go back for more late morning brunches. Easy 9/10 breakfast/brunch spot, and looking forward topatronizing this place again very soon. Until next time, God bless & much love! Read more
Came here around 11p.m. after a long flight. First time trying.. this place is near the airport. Very quiet and clean. The menu... is plenty to choose and confusing, it is going to be hard for people who are indecisive. Here I just wanna to say The shrimppasta was great cause I love sour???? Read more
I love coming here! The menu is huge, food never disappoints, and the people here are kind. At the end of our meal, the owner... came by to greet us which made me feel good and at home. I had the Pastichio, it was so delicious!! Read more

Came here on a Sunday around 11am. Hoping to beat the crowds, but no luck. This place is quite popular with it long history and... wonderful pastries available. I believe they were short staffed when we visited. The food was ok, the meals presented rushedthough taking a while to get our food. I have previously always enjoyed coming here, hoping I just caught them on a off day. Read more
