    BLT (minus T)

    I was really in the mood for a Greek salad and was originally going to try one of the Greek restaurants on Bell Boulevard....but just kept driving until we pulled into the Neptune diner parking lot. I remember coming to this place in its previous iteration (think it was called Jackson Hole)..and was excited to be trying a new spot (at least it was new to us!) I ordered my chicken souvlaki platter, but asked them to hold the fries (and just add extra salad). Others at the table had the chicken avocado club sandwich and a BLT (no tomato). Everything arrived very quickly....super hot and fresh. The food was excellent! My souvlaki was cooked perfectly and the giant chunk of feta on top of the salad was delightful. I probably should've asked them to hold the pita, but I did indulge in most of it. The tzatziki sauce was also just right. Nice to know that there's another good diner to choose from in the old hood!

    The most delicious burgers I've ever had....

    Wow I had another excellent experience here at the Neptune Diner. Started off with their Delicious Greek Lemon Soup which is Always awesome and then had the most delicious burger with lot's of cheese and fried onions. What was extra special this time was the fact then when I ordered my burger well done. This time it came out well done. Last time here my well done burger had pink in it. This has to be due to our waiter Peter was was awesome from the start. Great personality and vibe. Excellent food suggestions and Amazing customer service skills. Peter made our experience here exta special

    Amazing Cheeseburger!!!

    First some background, on the legacy of Astoria's Neptune Diner one of the greatest diners in the in the history of diners: Neptune Diner wowed dinners for several decades before some of the owners great tired of running a 24 hour business while the other still had more life in them. Sealing its fate was the fact that it was operating atop of ever growing more valuable real estate. This came to a head a couple of years ago and the decision to sell was sealed. Fast forward, the owners that still wanted to continue the legacy took over Jackson Hole Diner in Bell Blvd. And I've been meaning to try it ever since. Today was that day. My guests ordered the usual diner breakfast fare. There orders were very good. I knew that the proof of whether the spirit of the original survived would be in the burger and aroma in steak, respectively. The section on what to order came down to economics: burger 12 bucks and Romanian steak $44 (yes $44 ($10 short of a NY strip steak) I'll be back for the Romanian). What was the verdict you ask? I enjoyed one of the best burgers I've ever had. The wait staff was also spectacular. King Neptune Diner Astoria is dead, long live King Neptune Diner Bayside.

    My late partner, and I ate here a few times, and it has always been good, but I've never written a review. I stopped in for dinner tonight, and it was as good as it has always been. This is nothing more than a good old-fashioned Greek diner. Great people, big menu, and great food. I decided to order from the specials menu tonight. I started with a cup of the the avgolemono, the Greek lemon chicken soup. It was so good! The chicken was tender and delicious,, it had orzo in it, and the orzo was also tender, and the lemon provided a nice " Tang" to the soup. A total home run. For my main course, I had the lemon chicken. Again, a total home run. The chicken was so tender, it was literally fall off the bone. You could taste the lemon, it was spiced well, just a fantastic Dish. The potatoes that it came with were fork tender. Again, totally delicious. I had enough left over to take back to my hotel with me. Prices are a tiny bit on the higher end, but considering the high-quality and quantity of the food? Worth every penny. I will be back. Thank you.

    Dined food is comfort food! I wasn't sure what I was craving so I decided to go for a variety of foods and each one of them was delicious. There was a lot of seating and luckily my friend and I got a booth which is what we were looking for. We ordered the Fried calamari which was hugeeeee. We had to stop ourselves from eating too much before the entrees arrived so that we would be able to enjoy our other dishes as well. The calamari was perfectly crispy and the marinara sauce paired great with it. We got spaghetti with Parmesan cheese on top. It is your basic spaghetti which was what I was craving so that was great. Then we also got the banana and Nutella pancakes which were also huge and delicious. The whipped salted butter was the star of the show because everything was on the sweeter side so the butter really added a nice hint of saltiness. The servers were super sweet. They checked up on us multiple times and even offered to give more cheese for the spaghetti. When packing the food the go because we had a lot of leftovers, we asked for a container for the marinara sauce too which they sweetly topped off for us. Not only did the food taste of comfort but the staff made us feel super comfortable as well!

    The special chicken pot pie.
    Joan M.

    The 31 dollar special of the chicken pot pie was not so special because while yes it came with chicken noodle Matza ball soup and a salad, it was not very special. I would not have ordered the soup if I knew it came with noodles-that was a surprise. No one told the three us about the specials, brought us bread, cole slaw or a pickle for my sister's sandwhich. That is typical for other diners and for 31 bucks the others give a choice of free dessert. They did not even offer that or post dinner coffee. Odd. Going elsewhere .

    Greeted immediately after a long walk in extreme heat, then seated in a comfortable booth. The air conditioning was perfect. The coffee was delicious. The food was fresh and plentiful. The service was excellent. No one rushed us. Everyone smiled. The diner seems kind of old, but also seems to be regularly scrubbed and polished. A very comfortable place. We had a very nice time.

    Dinner here on Friday evening was delicious, but gets super crowded during the evening. Food was delicious and plentiful. The hot chocolate was delicious. The waiter was very friendly, attentive and prompt. Great dinner in Bayside to experience.

    First time at the Neptune Diner.it was an overall great experience. Firstly, our waitress Ashley was friendly, engaging, and most importantly made us feel at home. I decided to go with the Crown Heights burger deluxe. It was cooked to perfection.as well as all of our food. The decor was typical diner decor but there was a great Victoria the place. Definitely, I will be back.

    I'll start off by saying that valet parking for a diner is a bit ridiculous but on to the food. The burger was a bit massive and well cooked it could have been seasoned a bit more for $16.50. The diner itself had a great atmosphere.

    TLDR: If you're looking for a quick meal, King Souvlaki has always scratched the itch. Souvlaki…read moresticks are good for a quick bite but usually we get a beef/lamb gyro platter or a pita sandwich - Greek fries if you have a friend to share. I've been going to King Souvlaki for many years. Nowadays you can also order on UberEats/DoorDash but for the best, just go in-person of course. The Greek Fries are great with olive oil and feta but it is a large portion. I believe you can now upgrade the platter fries so you can get to taste the flavor without it being over the top. Our go to order is the platter but you can never go wrong with a sandwich either. The rice is seasoned well and with the tzatziki sauce and small salad - it's always a good plate. They do also have chicken options but beef/lamb is the way to go in my opinion. The gyro is has great flavor but it's also not overly greasy like some places.

    I ordered the pork souvlaki platter, and the portion size was pretty generous. The yellow rice was…read moreflavorful and well seasoned, and it came with a decent side salad that balanced out the meal. The pork was the highlight for me: tender, juicy, and cooked really well. My only complaint was the tzatziki sauce. It was much thicker than expected and had a stronger tartness, rather than the creamy, smooth texture I was hoping for. That was a little disappointing, but overall, it was still a solid meal.

They were one of the few places open (allowing ordering and picking up from outside the place). They (the gyros) were just "eh" back then once again with barely edible thick humongous slabs of tomatoes and onions, not enough sauce, soggy fries, etc. Yuck.... Fast forward to 2026 and the other handful of gyro places have become boring and predictable and several have lost their pizazz all together. There is one we will never return to and the others, well, that's a story for another post. We ordered from Fontana's yesterday and we just had simple order of three gyros and a large order of fries. I can't even begin to tell you how good the gyros were. Tasty, juicy, perfect amount of sauce, AND... are you ready??? NORMAL bite size pieces of tomatoes and onions!!!!! The fries were still crispy upon being brought home (well some on top weren't, but that was condensations fault - yes they vented the lid, too)!!! I am so glad that we decided to go back to Fontana's again! Definitely will be our new gyro go-to place from now on. Looking forward to trying their pizza, too. Haven't done that yet because I am a pizza snob and am a very picky pizza person!!! Definitely give Fontana's a shot if you're in the mood for good gyros!!!

The service was still good, and the ambiance is bright and welcoming, which I appreciated. The gyro itself was just okay this time, nothing too memorable. The fries were good definitely needed some salt, but that's just my personal preference. The chicken skewer was solid and probably the highlight of the meal. My biggest issue was the Greek salad. It was mostly cucumbers, and the feta cheese had a really strange flavor. I'm not sure what brand they use, but I've never tasted feta like that before, and not in a good way.

It used to feel welcoming when you went in, but not anymore. The souvlaki has this weird, overly soft texture, without much flavor. The amount of feta in the salad ... you might as well not even give any. The gyro meat is still good and the pitas don't feel and taste stale anymore. The grape leaves taste went down hill. The tzatziki is still one of the best that you can get. Mozzarella sticks don't have seasoning anymore and made it feel like eating them was just biting down into hard cardboard. I'm gonna give them a break for now and check back in a few months. I'd recommend them only if your nearby and really craving this type of food.
