The Hellenic is great for lunch, dinner, or take out. When the weather's nice sit outside on the porch or around a fire table in the fall. The Greek specialties are stellar, as are the sandwiches and the best lemonade anywhere. read more

EVERYTHING about the Hellenic is AMAZING!! I spent summers in East Marion as a child and have fond memories of eating there multiple times a week with my family. Many years later, although I now live across the country, whenever I come back to NY to visit family and friends, we drive out to my all time favorite Greek Restaurant!! My last visit was this past August and as usual, it was a spectacular experience. I always order the Greek Salad, a Gyro and of course the world famous lemonade!! The gelato is out of this world!! George is THE BEST!! Read his book - Ferry Tales!!! This review is sent with warm regards and the highest recommendation from San Francisco!! read more

Visited Hellenic late night for the first time back in September. Service was great and also the ambiance. For appetizers, we ordered hummus and soup. For the mains, we ordered roast fish. It was delicious! We paired it with the recommended wine, which took the guess work out of the way. We were delighted. read more

Hellenic - Greek Near Me - East Marion, New York

This place is a hidden gem on the North Fork of Long Island NY. The restaurant has an ambiance that was made for relaxation both inside and outside. We ate our meal outdoors and started with the fresh squeezed lemonade. It was ice cold and delicious ! The waiter was very friendly and brought us our appetizers quickly. All the food was outstanding with a flavor that tasted like the Mediterranean. The entire experience was awesome. The kids had plenty of room to run around and play outside on the grass field while the Wife and I enjoyed sparkling wine and food that tasted like it came from Europe ! The desserts were absolutely fantastic. We tried a few flavors of the homemade Gelato. The kids absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back for more family fun !! read more

Incredible!!!!!!!!!!! Highly highly highly highly recommend! Everything I ordered was fabulous. I would eat here 9 days a week.

Wow-what a surprise. Club sandwich platter was huge --Turkey thick, fresh and tender. The "little plate of 3 appetizers (waitress Robin chose for us)--was soooo good....spinach flake pastry pie, special feta on pita, calamari were top notch. Portions are large, so order to share. read more

We stopped for a snack yesterday on our bike ride. Your gelato is out of this world! And your lemonade to die for!

I came here with my mom and god mother and had the best lemonade I've ever tasted (my mom agrees) it was sooooo good we had to order another one then we noticed the gelato and had to get some then we got hungry for real food I got a cheese burger with the best rice and the service was really fast read more

Outdoor Dining Review: Hellenic has been in business for years & years. The reputation mirrored the quality of the restaurant completely! Located in East Marion, the drive out East is so relaxing. Make sure to stop at local farm stands & stores on the way. There's a ton of parking in the back of the restaurant. Due to COVID & Social Regulations, majority of seating was outdoor. The outdoor area was gorgeous. The tables were far apart. Servers were wearing masks, and sanitizing quite frequently. The bathrooms were spotless. For a table of 2, I had to wait around 15 minutes. At 2:30 on a Tuesday, this restaurant was jumping! That's how you know the food is good and the restaurant is popular. The prices are SPECTACULAR! For the amount of food & quality of food...the prices are awesome, especially for the East End. The service was friendly. Even thought it was my first time here, I was treated like a regular. For drinks, I went with the standard lemonade. This place is absolutely incredible! Even the lemonade is over the top delicious. The food was downright delicious. I could go on and on about it. My advice is to come hungry. The portions are humongous. If you don't have room for dessert (like me), order it take out. All of the food was so fresh. I will be reviewing what I tried: -Fried Calamari (Half Portion): Wow this was delicious. The squid was so tender and expertly cooked. The breading was total perfection. Let's not forget about that AMAZING skordalia sauce. So good. The half portion is perfect to share between 2 people. 5 out of 5 stars -Large Greek Salad: One question, how do they cut the onions so thin? Beautiful presentation! The salad was incredibly fresh and truly was the best Greek salad I've ever tasted. The dressing was great. I ordered the anchovies on the side. The large is great for sharing between 1-3, maybe 4 people. 5 out of 5 stars -Beef Gyro: This behemoth of a gyro was the best I've ever had! No wonder they ship gyro meat to people. This was the biggest and most flavorful gyro I've ever been served. Big fan of the thin onions. Huge fan of the seasoned tomato's. The tzatziki sauce was so fresh. The gyro didn't come with a side, but it really didn't need one. I was stuffed after eating it. 5 out of 5 stars -Baklava: I was so full from dinner, but had to try this dessert. I opted to get it to go. Wow this baklava was fat and filled with nuts! The honey sauce was gold! I would 100% order this again. 5 out of 5 stars Overall, I'm so happy I tried Hellenic. Anytime I get a Greek food craving, I'm going to make the drive here! read more

My family and I - along with many friends - have enjoyed eating here several times each year since discovering it in 1979! On our most recent trip we were surprised and disappointed to learn that our favorite menu item is no longer offered- the appetizer platter. While the staff continues to be friendly and efficient, no one could provide a rationale. All of the individual components are still being served, but now they have to be purchased a la carte and/or are served with unwanted sides. Our suggestion: Keep the platter and, if you must, raise the price. The star rating is for the food and service, but the manager who made this menu change should be horse whipped. read more

Service: 5/5 Food: 2/5 Ambience: 2/5 On the food: we ordered the spanakopita to start. It had a nice dill flavor but otherwise was too salty and seemed like it had been reheated in a microwave as some parts were lukewarm and others hot. Would've been so much better to do so in an air fryer or something that would keep the phyllo layers nice and crispy. We both ordered the lamb open-faced sandwich and were disappointed. The lamb was lacking in flavor and partially ground up - not in nice chunks. The tomato mixture didn't have great flavor. Only the tzatziki was decent. This might be a nice location in the summertime but in the fall it just feels like you're sitting in a room of glass - cold and no decor. We kept our jackets on the entire time. We wished we would've eaten at the otter Greek restaurant in town. The only good thing about this restaurant was our server who was friendly and attentive. read more

Somehow, despite living on the east end for most of my life, and despite their stellar reputation, I had never eaten here until today. Of all times to try a restaurant for the first time, quarantine take-out it is! They NAILED IT. portions are generous, prices are on par with other local businesses- and the staff were super helpful and sweet. I'm no guru on Greek food but our guest of honor at dinner was, and he gave Hellenic the thumbs up! They packages my order perfectly which is typically a pain point for me. I was delighted to support this long time local hot spot, and will be back ASAP! read more

Out here near the very end of Long Island's north fork, is The Hellenic. On the way to the ferry, or out at Greenport but want something greek, keep going a town further to find one of very few places to stop. Makes it all nicer! If its off season could be closed, in season, go in, more people than can tell from the road, could be hopping. I'm a fan here to say the least. Not typical boring roadside, they have some nice light, traditional, and even fresh fish in season. They use local produce so can at times get exceptional tomatoes. Love their weird eggplant salad & homemade grape leaves. Also love to see these big platters groups have ordered, that I haven't tried yet. Menu is diverse enough to find what your looking for. Gyros are huge but all beef, not lamb. Fish available in season. Big roomy main dining area, open kitchen, and large outdoor /covered patio for busy season. Family owned non chain, always friendly locals working here. read more

This is just what the doctor ordered.. i love loved this place. It was just a few miles up from our hotel. The wait time was very short for a saturday afternoon which i liked. There was only outside seating as we are still in the middle of a pandemic. They tables were spaced out and all servers wore masks. Here we go with the food... every single dish was made with love. The pastachio was extremely well seasoned. It reminded me of shepherd's pie with pasta on the bottom. The shrimp salad was also very good and the shrimp was yummy and fresh. I normally dont like porgie but this fish was grilled to perfection. It was divine, I'm coming back for the fish. The shrimp, spinach and orzo was also terrific. My taste buds were literally dancing at this restaurant. We also got the 5 appetizer deal. I forgot to take a picture. All the apps that Luca recommended were yummy. I have to say that our server Luca was fantastic. He took the time to carefully explain the menu and his recommendations were great. He is such a sweet person and shared that he too was getting married at a local vineyard. Wishing him and his fiance all the best through his planning. We later saw Luca and his fiance while we were dining at another restaurant on Front St. He made sure to stop and say hi. He's such a lovely guy. Overall, this was a fantastic afternoon. It was a gorgeous day outside. The service was awesome and everyone was just friendly. I cant wait to bring my husband here read more

Despite passing Hellenic too many times to count over many years, sadly , we never stopped until this past Saturday for lunch!! We loved it!! The food was so good!! The olives, the Dolmades, the beets & the salads were all so fresh and delicious! Our server was very friendly & professional- we never had to wait for anything. We have added Hellenic to our "must go to" list and look forward to returning in the Spring. If you have been passing this restaurant by like us, step on the brakes & go enjoy some great food!! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place!!! Totally found it on a whim and I'm so glad I did. The food is outstanding and the staff is so nice. I even considered going back twice in two days! read more

We decide to stop here for dinner coming from Orient Point long island, we ordered the 84.00 Appertizer platter for two. The dish came was served within 7 to 8 minutes for a dish that size it was too fast, the only thing on plate that was hot was the calamari, everything else was either room temperature or cold and we could have count the pieces of chicken and pork, gyro pieces on dish. We had this dish in Astoria Queen's New York, it could easily feed four people and left over. The price we paid and what was served on plate it is an embarrassment not freshly cook food. read more

Hellenic - The Appertizer platter - Greek Near Me - East Marion, New York

I really hope this was just an off night, because I love stopping here after arriving on the Orient Point ferry. This was the first time we left unhappy. We sat outside, although they were not busy it took a long time for even water to be brought to the table. When we asked for the bill again there was a long wait as our server was also responsible for the phones and got stuck on a call. We ordered octopus and a sampler of 3 appetizers. The octopus was cooked perfectly however was a fairly modest portion and the dressing was subpar, I think because olive oil was substituted for something else. The three appetizer salads all lacked flavor, the eggplant salad had a lot of tasteless maybe egg in it? The fried zucchini and eggplant were soggy, and even the skordalia was a bit watery and lacked aroma. We were starving so added salt and pepper to everything and ate it all... but did tell them to check their garlic as there was really no flavor to anything ...A shame because everything did taste freshly made. I love this place so will give them another try and hope to post a happier review. read more

This place is always so delicious and refreshing, I always try to come here as often as I can in the summer for their chicken souvlaki, sometimes I have to pick apart the chicken cause some of its undercooked but that doesn't happen every time..., Also the lemonade is too notch. Very nice atmosphere. read more

My husband started going to Hellenic a couple of years back during the beginning of Covid, and now it has become a must have. Every time one of us passes by we surprise each other with menu items we've never tried. The tzatziki sauce and their pita is my absolute favorite! read more

We moved away and this is the food we crave!! Never disappoints. Food quality and flavor is unmatched.

The food was good but the service was atrocious. It took over an hour and a half to have TWO dinners served to me and my wife. And our waitress was late to ask if we wanted more drinks, and then when my wife asked about my Heineken Zero, which was late in coming, she said "I know..." Then, the amount on our bill didn't match the amount on the receipt. It was more. Ridiculous. read more

I have gone to this place several times over the years and still the same problem with inattentive service. It is consistently poor. Many servers just walk by leaving you to wait exceptionally long period of time. Oh yes you must check in with front desk or wait server will refuse to help you. I walked in from parking lot and sat myself down where there were many servers. None would take our order unless we went first to the dining room desk. Then more wait. Waiter did not know what a falafel consisted off. Food is fair. My lamb souvlaki was more tomatoes and onions than meat. I give up on this place. October 2019. Upon an invitation from owner George I returned with my granddaughter on a fine fall afternoon. I did not let owner know I was here. The service was good and Robin was friendly. Everything we ordered was delicious. They make the best spinach pie I ever had. The beef gyro was very good according to my granddaughter. We both enjoyed the PitaTzartaki as a shared appetizer I will give this place an upgrade from previous review. read more

Hellenic - Beef Gyro. - Greek Near Me - East Marion, New York

Very tasty dishes! We love the gyro platter! The thick steak fries are to die for. The octopus is tender and delicious. The Moussaka was awesome. The interior dining room is quaint. It's our NOFO Greek spot. read more

Great little find in the area! Really great ambiance - you can sit on adirondack chairs with a personal fire pit which is cool. I'm not sure what they put in their lemonade but it's one of the best lemonades I've ever had (put some titos in it which made it even better)! The hummus was so fresh and good, and the pita was perfectly toasted. My table also got little spinach pie rolls which were delicious - just wish there were more than three on the plate. For dinner I got the grecian chicken burger which was so good. The only downside is that it comes plain, it really needed tzatziki sauce or something on it. For dessert we had the galaktoboureko, which was delicious and perfect. read more

First time eating here and we were super impressed! My partner is gluten and dairy free and they were incredibly helpful in telling us what she could substitute for the options she was interested in. The service was incredible and the food was SO GOOD. The coffee was very smooth. It reminded me of that TikTok trend in 2020 where people made whipped coffee, except it's way better. It's a cute little spot with adorable outdoor seating. Definitely recommend it, especially to those with allergies. read more

Prior to eating here I must have passed it a dozen times, while either en route to the wineries or the Cross Sound Ferry- regardless, I'm sad I passed it so many times before going! My then girlfriend and I ate here for the first time after a vacation in Provincetown and were very much surprised by how delicious it was! I should also mention, I'm Greek. Eating at a Greek restaurant- I'm bound to have opinions. But the menu was decorated with traditional Greek dishes straight from the islands! Let's fast forward. My fiancé and I love this restaurant to much that she then incorporated it into her proposal. After proposing on a nearby beach, she had both of our families waiting at Hellenic to celebrate. And celebrate we did! With all the Greek food we could have!! Haven't had a bad meal at Hellenic. If you can eat outside, do it. If you can grab a drink and sit on the Adirondack chairs by the fire pits, do it! Must haves: split pea salad (trust me), orzo with shrimp and feta, horiatiki salad, anyyyyy of the gyros or pitas. All the dips. Can't wait to hear back! read more

Love the Greek food here. Atmosphere is great. Service exceptional. My favorites have to be Greek salad and Gyros. Best calamari around. Don't forget to try their lemonade. read more

If your looking for some great delicious Greek food this is the spot for you very nice place great atmosphere great service. Food was delicious had the Greek salad beef gyro and calamari the food was cooked so perfect I'll definitely be back for some more beef gyros lol.

I will definitely come Back here this is the best Greek food I've had by far great job guys looking forward to seeing you again and having some more beef gyros with my girlfriend. read more

Was very disappointed on 7/25/24 . length of time from drink order to table 15 minutes, appetizer after drinks came (dolmades) 20 minutes. ordered octopus appetizer for $29.99, received one narrow 5 inch piece. Even time to pay check was 15 minutes. It was moderately busy with plenty of staff. Will not return. read more

Just updating to say I still love this restaurant and still make the 45 min drive just for dinner! Food is always delicious and staff are always friendly and efficient. read more

I have to start off by saying... Hellenic had the best saganaki we've ever tried. So amazing. The fish was very fresh although not de-boned- I wish they offered to do this. I had the chicken burger. Again, best I've ever had. I eat chicken daily so this is a BIG thing. So moist and juicy. Lots of flavor. They even have a baklava gelato- a must try. A little too sweet for me but if you enjoy baklava get it! Service was a bit slow and it wasn't that busy for a Sunday night... so not sure what happened there. YOU NEED TO TRY if you're in the mood for a nice Greek meal. read more

Hellenic - Greek Near Me - East Marion, New York

Had nice lunch except the porch area smelled like oil. A bit disturbing. Next time I'll sit inside.

Worst food that I have ever eaten Lamp was bad Soup is just broth and orzo, not eatable Service was slow Do not go there read more

Everything was over the top of what we expected. Our first visit but any time we take the ferry it will be on our list leaving or arriving.

My family have been coming to the Hellenic for over 35 years, well before the North Fork became cool... while the area has undergone much change, the one thing that has stayed consistent is that the Hellenic never disappoints! The slow roasted lamb and sea bass today were delicious and perfect for a beautiful Easter dinner! read more

I was glad to read the review that you were going to restore the platter to the menu. I look forward to coming to the Hellenic snack bar again very soon to enjoy my favorite Greek food. No I'm not. I'm not saying that but now I put. read more

The outdoor seasonal dining is very appealing but the food is AWFUL. They use no herbs or spices whatsoever so the food is bland, characterless and flat. You can find better moussaka, pasticcio, and spinach pie in any run-of-the- mill "Greek diner" than you will here. read more

The finest Greek food on all of Long Island. And the service is great. Call ahead and take out for your ride on the cross sound ferry.
