Decided to stop here while in the area who doesn't love a good diner. I had my father-in-law, his brother and sister in law, and my son with us. Interior was bright and decorated w pics of Greece small space but they made good use w tables and booths. No one was on top of each other and the waitstaff could move easily around. Our waitress was considerate of w us considering the menu being in the larger size and lots of different choices it took us time to decide what to eat. My fil had a western omelet w home fries He liked the portion and said it tasted great. He loved that you had jellies for the extra toast on the table w a variety of choices. My son had your egg burger and like the way the egg and burger came out just like ordered medium well. He liked the fries too. They were crispy and hot. My aunt and uncle both ordered the BLT w mayo on the side. They like that the waitress asked. The said the sandwich tasted good and the bread was toasted well. I had a special. A panini of grilled chicken spinach roasted pepper and fresh mozzarella. I like the flavors the spinach was steam great and they had a good portion size. Most places I've had spinach on a sandwich it not enough for each bite not this one was. My only critique in the negative was that the bread used became soggy when I was taking a break to eat they well done delicious fries. I shared w others who also liked them. My lunch came w soup although she first brought me lemon rice soup. I corrected her by saying is this the lentil she took it back and I watched her pore it back into the soup container. And although that's not something I would do and I know I didn't touch it but that should not have been done in my eyes. The lentil did come out and it was delicious lentil not over cooked broth had good flavor. Only other mistake was my drink I ordered a Diet Coke and I believe the first one was a mix of diet and ice tea once I let our waitress know she fixed the order. My son pointed out that they only have another drink for serving for free. I also tried the water which was as good, and if you've read other of my reviews I am a water snob so this one passed with flying colors. read more

Love this diner! The owners are so friendly and the food is wonderful. We go there often, even though we live in Bellport Village. The drive is worth it because they have a great menu - something for everyone. I highly recommend you visit this place as they will treat you like family! read more

The food is the best, the service is the greatest, and it's the cleanest restaurant I've ever eaten in my life. I highly recommend Athens diner!!! Plenty of free parking, they can handle any size party, wheelchair friendly!!! read more

The service was good, the wait was just about right, the food was mid. We ordered a chicken gyro platter and chicken souvlaki and the best part was the tzatziki sauce, the rest was pretty bland. Very disappointing. The diner itself was a standard looking diner, nothing spectacular. read more

Quiet relaxed atmosphere and not rushed. Friendly owners. who make you feel welcome. For a small diner, care is given to keep the food fresh and presented well. This dish was a special request variation of the Shrimps Scampi dinner offered on the menu. I asked for the scampi shrimp to be served over spaghetti with a few extra shrimp added upon my special request. Broccoli , dded by the owner chef, made the eye appeal enticing. read more

Athens Diner - Shrimp scampi and broccoli over thin spaghetti. Extra shrimp added on request. - American Near Me - Middle Island, New York

I love the family atmosphere and everyone knows your name. And they know what food you like and don't like and make recommendations. Always welcoming meals are always great. read more

Food is very good, however, when doing take out service you need to make sure they give you the correct food. It has happened to us two times now where they give you the wrong food and when you bring it back they try to say "you took the wrong food". First off, they should not be allowing customers to "take any food" from the counter they should be handing you the correct order. Food is good and would be five star if it wasn't for the mistakes they make and then try to blame the customer for it. read more

I had a bacon cheeseburger, which was good. My wife had a patty melt, and one side of her bread they burnt and they try to disguise it by flipping it over. The service was very good. read more

Pretty good Greek salad! Only thing I've ever ordered from here and it was an add-on item from Uber Eats, but I would definitely go in person to check out more of their menu! read more

We were passing through and saw the sign and went in for lunch. Tatiana, the owner's wife greeted us warmly. The food was excellent! I had the Pastitsio, which is Greek lasagna and my wife had the Gyro Chicken Wrap. The dining room and tables were clean and inviting. Judging from the crowd that was there, this establishment is popular with the locals and that's always a good sign! I recommend this restaurant highly. read more

Order the classic Greek gyro . The lamb meat was overcooked to the point where the edges were burnt . The spinach pie was dried out and had insufficient spinach and feta cheese in relation to the thick dough covering . Disappointing, we won't be back . read more

Good food and friendly staff. Comfortable seating. Wide variety of menu options. Great soup.

Nice little diner. Waitress was very nice, good food and clean tables. I'd definitely eat there again if I was in the neighborhood.

the food is authentic. service is very friendly. it's a hidden gem. glad I found it. Very clean. Nice portions. Food served exactly how it was ordered. will be back. read more

This is the first Cypriot diner we've found on the island and are so happy we did!! We have eaten at the diner and catered several times. The family that runs the diner are very welcoming and treat you like family. We catered our Easter dinner this year, and the food was delicious (as always). Our family and friends loved everything - spanakopita, Greek salad, lamb, lemon potatoes, string beans, rice, and rice pudding for dessert. If you haven't been here already, I highly recommend you try it! read more

My mom and I came in one morning before I had to go to the airport I had the Spinach, onions, tomato, ham and cheese omelet. The omelet was brown and well done. I feel unless you ask for your eggs well done or soft / easy they should not be brown or runny. They should be cooked just normal. The omelet had what it said it had but the cheese on top had hardly melted for eggs that were so well done. As far as getting service there was only 1 other booth in the back with 2 men. The waitress must have known them because she stood there talking to them for a good few minutes after we sat. When we went to pay we stood at the register for no less than 5 minutes. The cook finally came out and took our money because the waitress was too busy talking to the last booth. This place is under its 3rd ownership. With the quality of food and their pricing I dont see them lasting either. My omelet was $12.95 on their special Monday - Friday menu. My suggestion based on knowing the history of this place. Lower the prices a bit and you might get the crowd in you need to stay in business. A veggie omelet at the Coram Pond is only $9.95 every day! read more

Nice waitresses. First time there, we had Greek food which was okay. Next time, ordered pancakes I couldn't cut with a knife! Microwaved pancakes? Slow service (don't go if you're in a rush), inattentive... all things considered, my one star stands. Giving it one more try (at my partners insistence) I will NEVER go back. Found a new dinner ... water on table immediately and we had our food in less than 15mins... now THAT is a diner! read more

Bf and I ate here today for lunch. We liked it very much. Food was very good, and service was too. Tammy and Tatiana were awesome. Middle Island Ppl need to come here - this is great for the neighborhood... we need a good local restaurant like this. We look forward to coming back. Thanks for a nice lunch ladies. read more

Being home cooking for a few weeks during the quarantine makes you a bit crazy in search of different foods and flavors. We tried this place for the first time and it didn't disappoint. We got the family meal at a great price point. The gyro meat was perfectly cooked and not too salty like some other places. The salad was beautifully presented and chickpea side was a nice touch. Highly recommend. read more

Served our purposes. We were hungry and seeking a clean place to get fresh food. Easter Sunday breakfast before seeing family for dinner. The omelet specials were great. Tomatoes were ripe, spinach was not over cooked. Egg cream could have been been better and larger, but overall we'd recommend. read more

A group of ladies eat there on Tuesdays. Food and service are consistently excellent, and prices are reasonable. Good choices on daily specials. I had the Greek salad with grilled salmon... one of the best salmon dishes I've had recently. Go to Athens Diner read more

After two visits we don't know where to place Athens. They cover th basics well. It's clean, the staff is friendly, they have a typical diner menu, which means you can get anything. An added benefit is that they are super local to me so I could walk her inside of 20 minutes . So wouldn't be perfect if they were a 5 star home run attraction. The good, between my wife and I we have had and viewed as positive the eggs (scrambled), pancakes, bacon, sausage, French fries and gyro. I have a more protein based diet while she is more carb based. What missed for both of us were the burgers. These tasted like institutional freezer burgers. When cooked they weren't even brown, but a dull greyish color. Nothing attractive about these in appearance or taste. We had hope this was a fluke on one visit but the pattern repeated itself about a month later, so gotta figure this is the standard. It's too bad since their breakfast stuff is pretty good. I'm sure we'll give it another try 'cause it's soooo close. But It need to work for three meals and not just one. read more

I have driven past this Diner many times and finally stopped in. I ordered a Gyro and greek salad,delish!! The meat was so tender. The food was excellent and the owners and people that work there are friendly and accommadating. Will definitely go back! read more

Athens is a small family owned diner that is always spot on with their food. The service is always friendly, welcoming and they work hard to make their customers happy. I also always like to support local businesses in these trying times and so should you. Check them out! read more

... just had one of the worst meals I've ever experienced ... ordered a blackboard special ... Flounder stuffed with Spinach and Feta with Broccoli and Mashed Potatoes ... first off, the portions were very small for $ 23.95 at a diner ... the flounder was oily, overcooked to being tough, and tasteless ... the broccoli was barely cooked, tough and cold and the mashed potatoes were from a mix ... desert was an inch and a half wide piece of ice cold apple pie ... also tasteless ... afterwards I felt sick ... and robbed of my $ 30 and a decent meal ... must've changed owners ... it used to be good ... won't be going back ... read more

Absolutely love this place, another good meal! I ordered an egg benedict and my husband ordered a greek combo from the lunch specials. Gyro with souvlaki tasted so good ,food was fresh and absolutely delicious.Also, they serve breakfast all day. read more

Food is always good! Fresh and delicious.Good service and they are friendly.Nice and clean place.

We came in at 230 pm on Sunday . We walked in and was told they are closing at 3 . We decided to stay and was told to sit anywhere . We did not get any menus I grabbed them from a booth. We ordered in less then two minutes of walking in . We did get our food. We were not asked if we needed anything or how the food was . Then while we were eating 245 the check came to the table . We were clearly not welcomed. Please lock your door after 2 pm if you do want to serve anyone. read more

Great food and good service. A solid diner. Kid friendly and all the things you need when going with a large group

Athens dinner has decent food an excellent service.

foods not bad, ambiance could use a little update but it feels nice and classy. service can't be complained about

Absolute gem of an owner. The owner of the establishment is quite an amazing human. He went out of his way to ensure that the Grub Hub order I was placing for a sick friend was done perfectly. I am so appreciative. My friend just had surgery and raved about the grilled salmon over Greek salad at this establishment. The owner could not have been more pleasant and was so patient and kind. Great food and a fabulous owner. Put this restaurant on your must visit list!! read more

This is the a hidden treasure!! The food is exceptionally excellent and the owners Tatiana & Ikey are wonderful, creating a friendly/family atmosphere! This diner is above average in that the food far exceeds "diner" quality food, more like a "chef" is cooking the food here! The pork souvlaki is fabulous... try it! Love this place; love the owners! A must...try it!! :-) read more

Athens Diner - Greek Pizza with Spinach & melted cheese on a pita - American Near Me - Middle Island, New York

Delicious salmon panini and accommodated me with a side salad instead of french fries. Ordering again this visit out here.

Been here twice with my in laws who love this place. It's a smaller more out of the way diner but worth checking out if your going to be in the Middle Island area. The staff is very friendly, even the cook comes out to see if patrons are enjoying their meal. I definitely recommend the Spinach Pie and Greek Salad - both are delicious. read more
