Flatbread pizza was delicious (maybe a bit greasy, but sometimes that just makes it that much more delicious right?!), and chicken blue cheese salad as well! Large portions, both we plenty to split between 2 adults. Large covered outdoor seating area, with smaller portion inside. Also porch seating with no covering outside as well. The margaritas were a bit lack luster, and had way too much ice. Overall, a good experience and I would visit again!

Visited a couple of weeks ago on a Friday evening. Format is Order and pay at the counter, pick up your beverage and the food is delivered to your table. Tried their Margarita which was mediocre and a thin pizza, crust was crisp but slightly burnt. The chicken salad was delicious.

One of my new favorite restaurants. The food is AMAZING and so filling. We got the gyro flatbread, bruschetta, and tabouli seasoned chicken pita. The flatbread is big enough to feed two. Service was great, and they were extremely helpful with allergies!

Our son said the bacon cheese fries were “life-changing” the first time he had them. Definitely a favorite for us!

Delicious and authentic cuisine. I really enjoyed the urban atmosphere and vibes of Viv’s in small town, Balsam Lake. Excellent customer service!

The food was fantastic. I loved the chicken sandwich I ordered. I had the pizza before which was great also! Staff is friendly and the place was clean! Looking forward to listening to music here again on the outdoor patio!

Stopped in for a quick lunch before meeting at Sheriff’s office. About 4 tables had patrons seated outside. Which is a nice area and view of main st. I ordered one gyro and a Pepsi; that was $15.00 before tip. A person come in and asks if they allow dogs on the patio? The cashier asked what size they were, then allowed it. The guy didn’t say he had 2 dogs, which barked at every other dog going by, the owners were clueless. I waited 30 minutes to get my small gyro, with pita chips. The server didn’t apologize for the long wait or say anything. The meat looked like it came out of a package, not a spit. I wouldn’t recommend.
