Family Corner in Astoria is literally old reliable. George and the staff are incredible and always make you feel welcome the second you walk in. The food is fantastic, classic, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood greasy spoon. Grilled cheese, soup, breakfast... everything I've had here has been consistently great. We unfortunately live in a world where old-school luncheonettes are slowly disappearing, but Family Corner is still carrying the torch. Places like this are getting harder and harder to find, and Astoria is lucky to have one that still does it right. If you want a real neighborhood spot with great food and even better people, this is it. read more

DISRESPECTFUL NASTY HOSTESS/ OWNER! STEER FROM ORDERING! A restaurant that can't follow the costumer is always right we'll be shutting down sooner or later. I order for delivery, 2 coffees, a side of bacon and 3 toasts. The first time I called I forgot to add the toast in the order so I called again. He told me the first time I called, the order is $10.16, no problem. I called the second time and he DID NOT in form me on the price change. I get the order delivered to me to it being $16 because of 3 toast. $6 for 3 toast? I didnt have the cash so I called back to put it on card but asked why is it $16. He responded back with disrespect " oh you thoguht it was going to be free" no I knew it was going to be a charge but not $16 because of 3 toast. I said " no I get that but you could have informed me" and he said "no you thought it was going to be free? Get out of here" Then HANGS UP THE PHONE ON ME. I was kindly talking to him, called back to put it on card. Then I had my boyfriend call back, he talked to him nicely as well " my girlfriend called etc" the guy responded back with "give us the $16 dollars and this is going to be the last time you order food" Charging me the whole price of what they buy for a loaf of sliced white bread. I had the money to pay. I saved money and they just lost a sale. DISRESPECTFUL OWNER, hanging up on a costumer is unprofessional as well read more

Such a cute and welcoming place. The staff and customers all seemed to know each other. I was crazing a simple but delicious breakfast and that's exactly what I got. Quick service. Clean space. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced too. read more

Family Corner Restaurant - French toast, bacon combo with a side of 2 eggs. - Greek Near Me - Astoria, New York

This cozy diner is my favorite local spot for breakfast on the weekends. Everyone here is welcoming and friendly to regular patrons and newcomers alike. I usually order the seven island omelette (which has feta, spinach, tomatoes, and mushroom) or the small Greek salad with grilled chicken. This time around, I chose the salad. For a small salad, it is very filling. Every component of this salad contributes to its big flavor: feta, tomatoes, onions, finely shredded lettuce, kalamata olives, peperoncini, cucumbers, stuffed grape leaves, well-seasoned grilled chicken, and the dressing that I just want to straight up drink. The salad comes with soft, fluffy, grilled pita bread on the side. My SO always gets eggs over medium, sausage, french fries (instead of home fries), and toast. In addition to the regular breakfast fare, Family Corner offers burgers, sandwiches, wraps, soup (I recommend their avgolemeno) and other hot dishes. The food is consistently good and that's what keeps us coming back each time. read more

I've been coming to Family Corner for over 40 years. The majority of my experiences have been takeout. They know exactly what they're doing. A quick, fast, greasy spoon that never disappoints. All the Greek dishes are superb. My favorite is the Gyro Wrap. Juicy and bursting with flavor and portioned so that you can easily get 3/4 meals! Burgers, grilled cheese, fries, Souvlaki, you name it. All good and what you'd expect. Take out never disappoints and delivery is FAST! read more

Simply perfect in every way. The team balanced technical ability with warmth. I question the accuracy of some reviews here. The food pleased while service stood out. This restaurant offers good consistency. read more

Five stars just for Family Corner's avgolemono! It's $5-10 and satisfying with its creaminess, loads of lemon, and oodles of orzo. You can also select it as a side for some of the entrees. I've also been pleased with the Greek wrap ($9.75) and pork souvlaki plate ($14.95). This diner is on the mini side so I can imagine it might get tight during popular times. The employees/owners are nice, and service is efficient. Their Yelp blurb says they've been around since 1990, impressive! Family Corner closes at 3 PM on Saturdays and is not open Sundays. If you want to dine in on Saturday, try to arrive well before 2:30 PM to be seated. Looking forward to trying their breakfast sometime! read more

Old school family diner located right on the corner of 31st Street! There aren't many places like this anymore that are family owned! There isn't much seating inside but it's comfy and cozy if you want to eat inside! They have everything on the menu that you could possibly ask for - from breakfast to dinner and the prices are very reasonable. The waitress is always lovely and sociable, very welcoming environment overall. My husband and I love grabbing food here on the days I don't feel like cooking! All the soups are tasty (my favorite is the avgolemono). His favorite is the platter, all the meats are delicious but the gyro is a must in my opinion! You have to try it if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Family Corner Restaurant - Greek Near Me - Astoria, New York

Only gotten delivery. Grilled cheese is perfection. Cheese is gooey; salted butter on the bread. Griddled perfectly. Good burger and fries.

For four years when I lived in Astoria long ago, Family Corner was my home away from home. The warm-hearted crew treated me like family, loving razzing included. I brought every visitor there and also got countless meals to go. Much has changed in the years since my days in Queens -- especially the skyline! -- but this Greek diner remained largely unchanged on a recent visit. They still serve up tasty, hearty, soul-filling food in generous portions and the staff still welcome everyone like family. My absolute favorite is the avgolemono soup. I dream about that lemon chicken soup. read more

Absolutely love this place! They make you feel like you're at home. The food is amazing and it's simply the perfect breakfast. read more

Family Corner Restaurant - Blueberry Pancakes with Butter - Greek Near Me - Astoria, New York

The dine-in experience is always a pleasure here . Great local experience, they treat everyone like family. The staff is always attentive. I the Burger Ala Greco- it is served on pita bread with feta. Can you say delicious? The deluxe come with french fries and a salad . The burger was juicy and the feta made it the perfect savory delight. Side note : Whenever I'm not feeling well and I need a good soup, I pop on over to this establishment to grab a Avgolemono soup here . It has a nice portion and chicken and rice , it soothes the throat . They also wrap it in plastic to prevent spillage . read more

Great atmosphere (a genuinely friendly and fun vibe), and food that tastes more like home cooking than I ever have had in a restaurant. The service is fantastic (second time I went in there. I remembered what I had before and asked me if that's what I wanted and it was). I go there for lunch and order a to go order for dinner. Perhaps the best Gyro I've ever had! read more

This is an absolute gem and it's right here in Astoria! We just moved back to the neighborhood 2 weeks ago and have been wanting to come here. Lili took care of us while George put on his show behind the counter. Unbelievable food and hospitality. We found our new spot. Thank you for all read more

They have really tasty and affordable food! Service is good and delivery is speedy during lunch hours.

It's a Diner, I'm rating as a Diner and not a Fancy White Tabke Cloth kinda place. Good Help, very Good Diner Food. Hot, Fresh, made to order quickly. For NYC very reasonably priced. If Your Hungry, It's worth the stop. Highly recommended Diner. read more

Family Corner Restaurant - Master of the Flat Top - Greek Near Me - Astoria, New York

Visiting Astoria from Western PA, and I felt at home in this small family owned diner. I got a ham and cheese omelette, potatoes, toast and coffee. The food was great.

I will definitely return next time I'm in the area. read more

This is a small hidden gem in the heart of Astoria. If you want a good breakfast stop by and enjoy they also deliver which is convenient.

A wonderful find - authentic, fresh Greek food in an old-fashioned setting. When's the last time you heard more Greek than English in a restaurant? Paid street parking available. Great omelets, souvlaki...even the coffee was good! Worth a detour ~ read more

Best Avgolemono soup ever ! With orzo and. It with rice - Like they make it Greece ! Highly recommend it ! read more

6+ month customer. Always get a lamb gyro wrap for $10 cash or the wrap with a side of mash for $13. The recent order was $5 for a watered down side of mash + tax at $15.90. With tip this was $18 meal and that is just not worth it, I am sorry. Also, you can't give me one price for months and then switch it up out of nowhere. That's money away from my family. read more

Family Corner Restaurant - Latest bill - Greek Near Me - Astoria, New York

This is an awesome restaurant, Unfortunately they close too soon because I'm a night owl but despite this, I highly recommend and their vanilla and strawberry shake in my opinion are even better than chick fa lai I order 3 at at time and use a little of it in my personal spirited shake. I highly recommend it. It deserves 10 stars. Only thing I'm not sure about is the spinach. I don't see the cheese and I like it overflowing lol. Other than that its awesome!!!!!! read more

This place is great! Here often for breakfast and always enjoy. Also LOVE the Greek salad.

Been eating here for years. Great local spot in Astoria with home cooked quality food. The owners are hands-on and always nice & friendly. I highly recommend to eat here for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

This is a cool spot. Friendly people. BUT a few times I order the same thing BEC, same order same everything, yet the prices change each time. From $7.50 TO $9 US as the owner says it. I am not too keen with this change, each and every time. I never questioned it but it's definitely not like any other spot where the prices are the same no matter what. Stop the nonsense people. Now there is a deli in the new market. Say good bye to this place soon enough. read more

REVIEW OF FAMILY CORNER. What to make of Family Corner ,2102 31st Street? I've been pondering this all week. How do I grade them? I came here last weekend for breakfast. I was thinking of ordering the 'BEC' more commonly known as Bacon Egg and Cheese, on a roll, but because I was really hungry I ordered the breakfast burrito with egg bacon and cheese instead. What I received was not a burrito. I thought this is odd (see photo); ;this is something else? It later turned out that what I received was a breakfast wrap see photo of check. At least it was not as expensive as in other diners. Price of breakfast $14.15. I left a tip of $5. I can be generous! From the outside their entrance is rather subdued even suffering a bit of wear and tear along the awning. Inside it is a different story. Family Corner's layout is that of a very old school diner with stools up at front of the counter. The diner is so small that you could fit it into Mini Star, and still have some seating left. Size wise eating at family corner is like eating in a railway car with a mini kitchen at the far end. Even their plastic menus are a throwback to the past, reminiscent of Howard Johnson. I had not seen those around in years. Yes the lighting has held up Steve Siderakis It was easy to read their menu without glasses! The diner itself is definitely family friendly. Many of the diners knew each other as well as the staff. While waiting out a mini rain storm I asked what was on the dessert menu? I was told nothing except for an apple pie, which had seen better days. Fine, I was only going to be there while the rain lasts I struck up a conversation with what appeared to be the owner. I mentioned how small his diner was compared to Mini Star. His response.- they are closed! He was quite friendly as was the waitress who served me. We had a further chat about the dining scene in Astoria. It appeared by the time I left there was talk of closing early!? So do I rate Family Corner? read more

Lily made us feel like family-and fed us like family! We tried the Avgolemono soup (a creamy Greek chicken soup with orzo and lemon), Pork Souvlaki with Pita and Tzatziki, egg cream and chocolate chip Pancakes. I didn't try the pancakes, but everything else was absolutely wonderful. Lily asked us all our names, and remembered them (including when she chased us out the door with my husband's backpack. My son lives close by, and says they are always so friendly, both in store and when they deliver. Great neighborhood place-we will be back! read more

a nice old school greek american diner in astoria that has plenty choices on the menu from typical american grub to greek delights. stop by during lunch after some good shopping in the area and had a decent turkey burger deluxe with a slice of blueberry pie for dessert. small space interior but enough booths and by the counter stools seating which allows plenty of room to enjoy breakfast , lunch , dinner .prices are reasonable and portions are more then average. plenty of options to pick from the menu and overall i can say that the food is very good. next time we will try some breakfast on our next visit .4 stars on my yelp meter. read more

Humble, cozy, diner from another era. Walked by many times, but finally went in today.

Family Corner Restaurant - Salad w charcoal chicken mmmm mmm baby! - Greek Near Me - Astoria, New York

My boyfriend and I came here this morning. We were actually on our to grab bagels and decided to stop in here instead! It's a small cozy place but we had no trouble grabbing a table. I believe this place is cash only, so make sure you have some on you. They do also have delivery on yelp and grubhub as well though. We were told to take a seat whoever and sat in the back. The waitress came over soon and took our drink order. We decided to order a bacon egg and cheese and blueberry pancakes. Everything came out fast and was cooked perfectly. The only complaint I would have is that I wish my pancakes had more blueberries! Overall though all the people were friendly, the atmosphere is a local cozy diner and the food was delicious. My apartment is relatively close so I'm sure I'll be back or ordering online from them soon! Nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

Just had the pleasure of dining at this little gem for the first time. George, when asked, recommended the charcoal chicken with pride, and now I know why. It was delicious. My son had the spinach pie platter which was unlike any he'd ever tried. He also said the Greek Soup was the best he'd ever eaten. We can't wait to go back. read more

Whoooooo. Canvassing for work, and this place was right by where I parked. I see lunch delivery guys going out and a few ppl walking in, so I try it out. Greeted immediately with a smile. No doubt, the place is small...and I'm a big guy, but the waitress made sure I got one of the 2 tables. Food smells good, but I order a Greek salad. I was expecting lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and olives. Imagine my surprise when I also got grilled chicken!! Also, this salad is the bomb dot com!!! I already posted on fb and I will have to bring a couple of folks to check this place out. And, I want to try more of the menu. read more

Great food friendly staff and owners. The soups are great and the daily specials are always good aswell.

I went on a 6 day trip in New York and of all the restaurants, Family Corner was my favorite! My friend and I went to Astoria to check out the park, but ended up walking into Family Corner because of Yelp. We were greeted by George (the owner) and Nadia (a very helpful waitress). We didn't really know what to order so they helped us with a few suggestions. We had the a gyro and chicken souvlaki plate. Both were excellent and came with a Greek soup. The chicken was nice and moist and had a lot of flavor. Both plates were huge and left us very content after our meal. Here is the cool part of the story. So the plan for my friend and I was to visit Astoria and then go to the Islanders vs Sharks game. We are from the Bay Area and came in repping our Sharks jerseys. Being a hardcore Islander fan, George shared his disapproval but was very nice to us. It was almost 5:00 and we wanted to get to the game early, so we asked him the quickest route to the game. Instead of sending us on our way from the subway, to the train and finally a cab to Nassau, George offered to give us a ride to the game! He was going to be getting off work soon and was heading that way, so he drove us. The 30+ minute drive was great. He was very personable and gave us a New Yorker's view on his sports teams. His kind gesture was one of the highlights of my trip. When I tell people here in California, nobody can believe it. People here would never do that. So from my trip to Family Corner, I came away with 4 things. 1) A great meal with great service 2) Met some nice people 3) A ride to the Sharks vs Islanders game (Sharks won!) 3) I realized that there are nice people in the world and I try to pass along these kinds of gestures here in California, just as George did for us. How many restaurants can you say have made you a better person???? They really do treat you like "Family" there! I will be sure to stop by on my next trip. read more
