Always a favorite when we head to the East End of the North shore. we love the food and staff and have never had anything but a stellar experience. During Covid we even setup our own lawn chairs and had their take out of the gate if the pickup. My whole family loves this place. read more

If a greek restaurant can't make a Greek salad, i don't want to go there. $18 for a bunch of iceberg lettuce a few olives , pale tomatoes and feta cheese-- nothing else-- blah! read more

We drive miles & miles to eat at this outstanding restaurant! The homemade lemon aid is so refreshing & made with a secret ingredient! It's worth the ride just for that. The food & service are outstanding! Cauliflower croquettes are a favorite! We have never eaten there and been disappointed! It's a must when out in Greenport or Marion! Our favorite Mediterranean restaurant for sure!!! read more

It's not a great day when you get a poorly cooked burger... First off, the restaurant has wonderful outdoor seating and its nice to eat outdoors when it's sunny out. Second, our waitress was very friendly. Also I saw the sign for no dogs allowed on the patio and I understood very well, if the lady had said no dogs allowed then I would've have left no problems. Also we weren't offered the chance to sit at the tables in the lawn like the other group with a dog. The hostess insisted to tell me again I couldn't bring my dog on the patio. My dog was in my lap after I sat down for less then a second and I was planning a place to put her on the lawn. Now for the food, I have had Greek food all across NYC and I think although it wasn't horrible here. It was definitely not my favorite. The flavors weren't too present and the prices were way too high. I ordered the inhaler burger, this is where we run into problems. The burger was a frozen patty!!! Also the fries were soggy, all of my friends fries were soggy not just mine. The appetizer sampler (grilled haloumi, hummus, spanakopita) were average. The calamari was tasty and fried perfectly. The garlic dip for the calamari was my favorite part of all the things i tried here, it was absolutely delicious! Overall, I thought for the price I paid, I expected a little more. It seemed more like diner food to me. read more

Hellenic - Inhaler burger (frozen patty/soggy fries) - Greek Near Me - East Marion, New York

This is a diner with retentions to be something else. Still excellent home cooking, with real ingredients and no-nonsence presentation. It used to be much more casual when we'd pick up a salad to eat on the Cross Island Ferry a decade ago, but now it's become a bit of a destination place. Great salads (around $16). Amazing prices for their NYT award winning sandwiches, it's the Hamptons, but you'd never expect to pay $20 for a hamburger, $21 for a turkey Club. Homemade gelato was so-so and it was $10.50 for 2 scoops. Still a goof place, fun and pleasant service. It's the real deal, now with "Hampton" prices. read more

Meet was cold, white sauce was watery and the total charge was a lot. Too expensive for this quality. Would not stop there again.

Most of the food is decent and the staff are all lovely. Atmosphere is also wonderful. Fish is not fresh. Very disappointing to be served old fish at a Greek restaurant. read more

Three of us stopped by here for breakfast on the way back from the ferry. We had eggs, corned beef, home fries, bacon and toast. The eggs were small, the bacon was ok. No one cares for the corned beef. The hash browns were tasty but greasy. We would probably never stop by again. read more

This is one of my favorite places in the east end. They have the best Greek salads and whole fish entrees. Some people are turned off to whole because of the bones. It took me awhile to get used to it but is totally worth it. The fish is moist and favorable, but you have to love garlic it is loaded with it. The atmosphere is great especially in the summer when you can sit outside. read more

I NEVER write reviews but this place is so spectacular that I can't stop thinking about it. Went with my cousins this past week and everything was authentic and simply delicious. And the staff were lovely and endearing. The octopus was the best I've ever had. The tiropitakia was mouth watering, the horiatiki salad PERFECTLY SEASONED, and they had a simple asparagus appetizer that my cousin wanted (I'm not usually a fan) that was SO DELICIOUS I now like asparagus. Hellenic is literally life changing ; ). And the whole fish (bass, they had multiple options) was yum!! And we even ordered dessert (no I didn't eat again that night) which was ALSO incredible (baklava and Galaktoboureko). By the way, my cousin and I spent 2 weeks in Greece in 2019 and fell in love with the country, the people, and the food, so...we know what we're talking about ! I'm a NYC resident and I'm already planning an excuse to drive all the way back out to Greenport before the weather turns. Brava! Efkaristo! read more

Nice service. Server asks pertinent questions such as what order would you like the food brought? More to drink? Want that now or wait? She was totally paying attention. Carafe of water on the table. Menus brought. Order taken. Pretty busy but never neglected. Broiled octopus was good but needed more umpf. Capers and lemon maybe. A bit or oregano. Anyway it was presented nicely with sliced cucumbers, olives and bread. Grilled pita bread is outstanding. Tzatziki is good too. Avgolemeno is tasty but slightly gelatinous. The starch from the orzo is overwhelming and the bowl is half full. Horiatiki salad with gyro meat was delicious and big enough for two to share. Finishing with baklava and Greek coffee. If out east stop in. It's pricey though. Didn't used to be. read more

I came here last night for a take out on my way home from Connecticut. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. I got grape leaves an appetizer, a gyro and multiple orders of baklava for friends at work to snack on today. All of the food wasn't just good, it was superb. I live in Southampton and can't wait to drive back out there one day for more. read more

I have enjoyed eating at Hellenic for many years. I have ordered almost every item on their menu. Never have I ever been disappointed. Their food and in particular, their professionalism are outstanding. Plenty of easy parking as well. read more

This review is solely based on a takeout experience. The process of ordering food for takeout from start to finish was wonderful! I called in an order for 7 people on a summer Friday evening. Hellenic Snackbar got all of the orders correct, and had the food ready for pickup in only 20 minutes! The quality of food was incredible. I LOVE that they have gluten free pitas! The pita was both soft and crunchy, everything that a pita should be. Most of the other girls in the group ordered falafel and it was an absolute hit! The food was absolutely delicious, and the quantity was plentiful. read more

This restaurant has been around since the 70s, and I've been going here since I was a kid in the early 90s. My cousins and I used to come here with our grandparents when they were alive and lived in Southold. We reunited in Greenport this summer, and had a fantastic dinner at the Hellenic Snackbar. Or should I say, we had a fantastic appetizer feast: the appetizers are the stars of the show here, with the standouts being the skordalia (garlic sauce) with beets, the saganaki with tomatoes (I literally grabbed a waiter's arm to prevent him from taking the plate away because one extra tomato was in it and I wanted to eat it . . . oops), grape leaves, and the tzatziki. They also make phenomenal homemade lemonade. Oh, the tzatziki. It's the star of the show. It's the gold standard by which all other tzatziki is to be measured. The day after we had Hellenic snack bar for dinner - I kid you not - we stopped in again on our way out of town for a last meal. And, no joke, EACH ordered a plate of tzatziki and a lemonade. And it was glorious! The menu is vegetarian and vegan friendly, and good for people who are gluten sensitive (or who have celiac, like my sister). They have gluten free pita bread! There's an upcharge of $2.50 for each order of the gluten free pita, but it tasted great even to me as a gluten-eater. And it's called a snack bar because that was it's roots; Hellenic is now a full-service sit-down restaurant. Stick to the appetizers and salads and you definitely won't be disappointed! read more

Consistently delicious food. Friendly and wonderful staff. Indoor and outdoor seating.

I have been here many times and have always had a great experience. It's been many years since I've been and it was not as good as I remembered. Family of 4 adults. Spanakopita and cheese pie apps delicious. The baked cheese not very good. 2 Gyros thumbs up and daughters chicken dish was good. I had lamb over rice. The lamb was so overcooked and dry it was barely edible. They should know better than to serve over cooked lamb. It kind of feels like they're just on auto pilot and not putting in too much effort. Our server was friendly and nice but not very attentive and the restaurant was not busy. I will give them another try when I'm in the area. read more

Visiting LI for the first time and drove out to Orient State Park. Just saw you guys sitting on the side of the road on the way to find the lighthouse. What a surprising gem! I Love Greek food and you did not disappoint! The LI Savingnon Blanc Osprey's Dominion wine was delightful as well. Great lunch specials and very attentive service by Robin!! Wish I lived nearby! read more

It was ok .... Saganaki was delicious. My plant based power bowl had way too much oil on it to stay healthy. Would have used more lemon or vinegar. My husband loved his gyro! read more

Let me start by saying I am an absolute Greek food fanatic! This place was interesting. We went for lunch during a rainy week day in September and they had a nice crowd. We had the cheese appetizer with pita which was absolutely delicious. For lunch, I ordered the traditional gyro. It was tasty and well done, but for the price seemed scarce. It could've used a side like a nice Greek salad or French fries or some option. The prices are expensive for what you're getting. The service was slow and not too friendly. I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Ahhhhmazing! They have gluten free options! And lots of them! The gluten free pita and tzatziki is so yummy! They can make almost anything gluten free there! And the menu is clearly marked! But the food is seriously good! And I came with my pooch and they were totally accommodating. Liz brought him a take out tin and a bottle of water. They do ask that you sit in the Adirondacks if you have a dog. But the service and food was great! read more

George: Sounds like someone got up on the wrong side of the pita! I found the tone of your response to be both puzzling and unwarranted. That you took my review as a "threat tactic" is equally confounding. I didn't say that I would never return, just that I would wait until the staff either masked up or Covid was under control. A little thin-skinned on your part. The fact that you accept your staff's "assurance" that they have been vaccinated is commendable (I guess) but without them providing proof of vaxx , it is hardly reassuring to a Covid-weary public. Even if they were fully immunized,I hope that you are aware that even vaxxed people can spread the new variant. Do the laws of science stop at Hellenic's door?? I also didn't realize that it was up to the customers to enforce common sense actions in the face of the Delta surge. I've found very few stores/restaurants in the Long Island area where workers have NOT gone back to masks, regardless of a government mandate. Lastly, I had mentioned from the beginning that I was a long time diner at Hellenic AND, in fact, said that it was one of the very few restaurants I've still been going to during the pandemic. A gracious owner would have had the "decency" to acknowledge that and express gratitude. A word of friendly advice, George: take your eyes off of the "stars" and spend a little more attention on what's happening here on Earth. If YOU would reconsider your response and feel the need to apologize, I assure you that it would be graciously accepted! read more

Let me preface my review by saying: I just had the best dalmata (stuffed grape leaf) of my life! Our adventure out east was started a bit hastily as we forgot to eat before we left. Trying to fit everything in we realized it was needed we stop and at that very moment I passed the Greek spot I always wanted to try. I looped back, parked, and walked around the front. Greeted immediately I asked what type of tree we had just walked under and learned it was a black walnut (how interesting, I have no idea what that is) walking over to pick our table. Outdoor seating is great this time of year so it was an obvious decision. This was the ONLY easy decision I made at the Hellenic. Everything sounded so great, I enjoyed my lemon soup (not my girlfriends cup of tea) We got the beets and skordalia which were great (come to think of it, quite basic though) A risotto or orzo with jumbo shrimp which was really great and fresh And holy hell the grape leaf- I like grape leaves.. You know, they are what they are, some slimier than others but usually pretty standard. NO! This grape leaf was two times the size of your average grape leaf and twenty times as good. Super fresh! Super good! And not at all wet or slimey. Perfect! I must also say that I've been on a long hunt for great skordalia and this quenched my need, still not the absolute best I've been searching for, but definitely up there. Super garlicky and delicious, loved it! If they made it a tiny bit "puffier" and lighter somehow, I'd want to be buried with the stuff. Service was good and friendly. Not too many people there and it was a nice day. My only complaint is price. The two of us split one entree and the appetizer sampler, the entree came with the soup, and I ordered 1 grape leaf a la cart .... All that was 80-100 bux - that's a little ridiculous considering we didn't even have a 2nd actual dish. We didn't leave hungry but that's not the point- Don't get the calamari if you're thinking its Gnna be your average fried calamari, it had a crispness but it was almost like, that steamed white sort; if that's your thing, dive in! (I liked it in the skordalia, but what wouldn't be good in this awesome skordalia) I forgot to mention that I've had their baklava, and while the flavors and textures were good, I myself couldn't bare the sweetness, it was drenched in the vanilla syrup and I thought my teeth were falling out. Still a bite is quite nice. All in all I'd go and order again, I'd just have to fight with my wallet a while. read more

I literally haven't been here since my aunt picked me up as a 12 year old from the Orient Point ferry. Needless to say I had the palate of a 12 year old, and didn't appreciate what the restaurant had to offer. I came here on a Friday night late summer with my mom and enjoyed it immensely. We sat outside, a glass of wine in hand. I had the beef gyro and my mom had the croquettes as well as the spanakopita appetizer. We loved them both. Surprised that the place was a little empty at 7 but by the time we left at 8 - it was packing up. Great outdoor space and looking forward to my next time in to explore the menu more. Pro tip - get outside seating if you've got kids. Great space for them to runaround. read more

I was looking forward to having the octopus but noticed the seafood boil on the menu and changed my order but alas the waiter told me they ran out of the seafood boil, argh!

I think this restaurant is a staple of north fork. My parents have been coming here every so often since the early 80s and I have fond memories of eating here many times as a child. We ordered for takeout this past weekend during our vacation and of course everything was delicious. read more

We have been going to this restaurant about two or three times a year, for the past 20+ years. The location is great and the service is good. We typically go for the beef gyros and chicken souvlaki. The atmosphere is very nice with a choice of indoor and outdoor seating (depending on weather). If you are coming from the ferry, this is a worthwhile stop to make! read more

I just read a review I wrote about this restaurant a couple of years ago. In the past two years there have been several additional restaurants opened in the area. Some of these new restaurants are very good. One or two are excellent. At the end of the day, for the freshest most consistently excellent seafood and Mediterranean/ Greek dishes, this place still stands out. Their burger is kick ass as well! read more

Great food but very expensive . We're not in Manhattan just out east. Would go more often but it has to be a special day to pay that price

I took my mother and aunt there last week for lunch. The staff is friendly and cheerful which made the dining experience pleasant but the food was nothing to boast about. It lives up to the name snack bar. We ordered 3 souvlaki sandwiches, the same portion, quality and presentation as a souvlaki cart in Astoria with 2 sodas over $50! I can understand how eating Greek in Greenport can be a novelty to most but this was insulting. The souvlaki was probably purchased in bulk at a restaurant supply center vs hand selected trimmed larger portions of chicken or pork. Probably kept in a warming tray and reheated on the grill. Just the way street vendors do. The tsadziki sauce was watery but the tomatoes were fresh and added a nice zest to the sandwich as were the onions. How can they not be fresh since the farm source is only a few hundred yards away. How can I be so harsh you may ask? I was a frequent customer for years when they opened and had a string of cabins on the property. The food has done a 180 turn. Forget the excessive wine and beer list there are plenty of places in the village for that. Focus on good food! This may be the first place or last place to pull in, depending if you're heading to or from the cross sound ferry at Orient Point, for food because of the convenient location. For me I'll keep driving past. read more

Great food at reasonable price. Service is quick and ambiance is nice. Great for bigger groups.

We're from Northport and venture to the Northfork often. Hellenic is our destination dining spot as we love this place and fresh food. Our favorites are the plentiful meat filled gyros(very fresh), red beets skordalia ( the best), delicious grilled pitas with my favorite tzatziki, the dolmados are wonderful too. Last week I had a lamb and rice meal(special) the lamb wasn't fatty and and was very tender. read more

The absolute best!! We have been enjoying The Hellenic for nearly 30 years and look forward to every visit!!!

One of my favorites on the north fork. Great breakfasts with large groups or dinner for two. I love the menu and all it has to offer. Friends come to visit and they want to know when are we going Greek? read more

Had lunch here for the first time. We had the "3 choice appetizer" of fried cauliflower, stuffed grape leaves and fried eggplant/zucchini with garlic sauce/hummus...and it was perfect! But my entree of beef gyro platter was not very good. The bread tasted stale...the onions had a funky taste (maybe pickled)...too much rice...but the meat was pretty tasty...and the tzatziki sauce was good.The place had a barn kind of smell, which is usually from dirty carpet, but there isn't any carpet in the place. Maybe they need to replace the floor runners? No ambiance, but good service. A "one and done" for me. read more

One of two restaurants in East Marion. Choose this one for its great service, good-sized portions, convenience, and great tzatziki! The management takes great pride in their restaurant and food service. The indoor dining room is large, while there is a glass covered outdoor area, as well as Adirondack chairs on the lawn. There is a very pretty bar area with a blue, Aegean Sea kind of vibe to it. read more
