I had previously stopped by Greek Island Diner to pick up soup for a sick friend, and after that experience, we decided to come back for an early Friday dinner. Wow, we were seriously impressed. Parking was easy with plenty of space, the diner itself was spotless, and the interior was bright and welcoming. The staff was friendly from the moment we walked in, and we were seated right away with no wait. Edgar took care of us and was fantastic. He was super friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming (and yes, "took care of us" feels more accurate than "waited on us"). We started with two soups: beef barley and lentil. Both were absolutely delicious, comforting, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Of course, I had to try the mozzarella sticks, and they did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked, and the marinara sauce was thick, tasty, and not watery at all. For our entrees, we ordered the Philly cheesesteak melt and a beef/gyro panini. The portions were generous, and the flavor was even better than expected. Even when we were full halfway through, we still wanted to keep eating because they were just that good. We couldn't leave without dessert after walking past the display on the way in which showed so many options. We went with the chocolate layer cake, and holy moly. The slice was massive (looked like half a cake) and absolutely amazing. We couldn't finish it, probably should've skipped the fries , but it was hands down one of the best cakes we've had in a long time. Overall, an excellent diner experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be back and will likely become regulars. It's that good. read more

A lot of gluten free options available for those who are on a restricted gluten free diet.

Our favorite little local spot! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. Today we stopped in right before 11. Hubs got breakfast and I got their chicken noodle soup. I love it! It's always made perfectly. This is the perfect place for a quick delicious meal read more

One of the better diners in the area. A guarantee decent meal and the service is good. The place is very clean and the workers are super attentive. I will give them this, the Greek food is the best around here. I was pleasantly surprised. You wouldn't think that from a dinner. The Gyro was super fresh and the spanakopita was really good. They deff have a Yiayia in the back. My kids love their pancakes, so it has become our go too on the weekends. read more

First time here and food was great. Server, Maeley, was very nice and helpful. Knew the menu, which is huge. Will be back.

This is a cute, friendly and family owned place. All of the staff care about your experience. We get delivery often and the drivers show the same attitude. The food is never a disappointment, so good. If you've never been and you're on the way out east it's a place to try for sure. read more

Diners are usually a massive disappointment but we came here because I was in the area and it has great reviews. It was not a disappointment. We were all very satisfied with our food and an extra plus for the best fries I've had in a very long time. The wait staff is great as well and they have great taste in music. read more

Came here for breakfast a little while back and still the friendly service as the other times we've visited over the years! It's a standard breakfast menu with reasonable prices and we'll likely come again. I got excited when I saw avocado toast on the menu, but I do wish they could make this dish do a little more. I ordered it without the onions and merely received some chunks of avocado on a piece of toast, which was very bland. Pieces of onion wouldn't make it much better. There were no seasonings or a mash of avocado blended with something else for added flavor (usually a mash of avocado is what people are expecting for avocado toast). There are so many other creative and delicious things to do with the taste and texture of an avocado toast that I hope they add to this dish sometime soon to make it even more special! read more

Nice place for lunch. Prices are good. everyone is very friendly. Best Greek salad you could have. Soup is very good also.

Back to being my Favorite place. We love it again. Stuff Shrimp was amazing like in the past. Very friendly place too

Consistently great food and service! Keeps us coming back! So lucky to have a local community diner where you always know the food and service will be great read more

The third time going here for breakfast and the last. We HATE runny eggs. We very assertively tell waitress no runny egg whites in over medium eggs. And every time, egg snot! Home fries burnt to a crisp horrible. And below the burnt layer, tasteless mushy potatoes. Not wasting anymore time or money on lousy breakfast with cheap bacon. Love the gyro hash, will get it to go and make my own eggs. read more

Had to take out so I can't really speak on the experience. I ordered a gyro, and was extremely disappointed. I've never seen flat pressed gyro meat like this. The only thing that saved this was that tzatziki sauce. Definitely won't be ordering this again. Very disappointed. read more

Had the Kebabs from here after craving a taste of Astoria. The service was polite and the restaurant was clean. The kebabs were grilled well, and came with a large baked potato and fresh broccoli. While the order came with two portion sizes, a plus because I was able to share, I would have liked a better seasoned kebab as there were no seasoning. read more

Good food-great service! Everything I've ever ordered was very good! Always a quick go to when deciding what to eat and never disappointed. read more

Flew back home for my grandmother's funeral who was laid to rest down the block from this place although the military cemetery. So afterwards my family and I gathered for an early dinner. Came in about 15 strong. But that did not stop Alexa from giving us great customer service! Everyone ordered something different. And man I'll tell you, we all loved our food. Food came out at a reasonable time which was great, the servers did an amazing job keeping our water and coffee cups filled and being as attentive as possible. I honestly can't say nothing negative about our experience with the customer service nor the food. The place itself was really nice, with plenty of plaza style parking. Now my family isn't from Long Island but whenever they or myself visit my grandmother, you best believe that this place is a must stop for us. Highly recommend to anyone in the area as well. read more

Great food, great service. Breakfast was awesome. About two weeks ago. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing.

Family run with good food, very good service and reasonable prices. Excellent soups. Fish dinners are very good and can be shared as the portions are rather large. read more

The atmosphere was dull/boring, like I was eating in an office building with diner booths. No music in background. No jukeboxes. Unimpressed. Service was just ok. Western Omelette was decent. The silverware was cheap, worn, and needs replacement; this speaks volumes. Do better. Prices were average to slightly higher than average, there's a low likelihood we will return because there is just too much competition out there. Gotta do better overall. Generous 3 stars. read more

Hands down, this is the best diner!!! Service is always fast and friendly. My husband and I have breakfast here every Sunday. In season you can get a pumpkin waffle. Definitely try their french fries. read more

to start - the ORANGE JUICE WAS BAD. 100% didnt like it. another reason why they get 2 stars is because of the service. yes - she was nice, but at other times she was a complete b----. the food was okay....but the fries were BURNT TO A CRISP. other wise my pancakes were good . but its typical for a diner type of look. people were loud, not a pretty diner over all. i would NEVER go here again. 2 stars. read more

I ordered a stake quesadilla, medium, with cheese. My wife ordered a BLT, and a to go chicken dinner with rice. The dinner came with a salad and a soup. Our seltzer arrived cold and our coffee hot. If you prefer strong coffee, this is the place! The food was great! Takeaways: Ample parking Excellent staff Excellent price to food ratio. read more

I ordered Eggplant Devine which was on the specials of the day menu. It was fried eggplant layered with mozzarella, spinach, roasted peppers, sundried tomatoes, with a balsamic glaze. What a wonderful combination of flavors! It was served with mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, and string beans all done to perfection). I asked for French fries and they were hot and crispy. My husband ordered Spartan Pasta. He asked for penne pasta. It came with sundried tomatoes, roasted peppers, olives, and spinach. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal also. I forgot the best part. We love a good avgolemono soup which is hard to find. Their's was so good we took a quart home. Our servers name was Joette. She explained every dish and was very pleasant. read more

Use to order take out once a week. Food was delicious but then quality started to go down. For example, food was cold -despite ordering in person and waiting to pick it up. Then the last time both my husband and I got sick from the food. Have not been back since. read more

I wasn't a huge fan of the food. I got an omelet with mushroom and onion and we'll done hash browns. The onions in my omelette were large and pretty much uncooked. Not really a fan of raw onions in my omelet so took more of them out. My hash browns were definitely well done but not seasoned. So had to add that salt. Tried some ketchup on my hashbrowns and even though the ketchup was in a Heinz it did not taste like it. Seems like it had the flavor of hot sauce. It's pretty hard to get breakfast wrong. That said i won't be coming back here. read more
