West End GR

Good place for breakfast or lunch when walking around Long Beach’s west end. We each had an omlette that seemed like actual 3-​eggs which is to say the portions were standard, not overly generous, which was fine for us trying to walk and get some exercise in on our weekend. Nice, friendly service staff too.

I am on the same team as Steve A. I was craving a chicken gyro earlier this year. My usual place Pete’s in Island Park was on vacation so I checked out this place. I had the same experience as Steve A. The chicken gyro was the most disgusting thing I ever ate and never been back. Stay away. He is right anyone to give this place 5 stars is either family or on crack.

The people that have reviewed this place must be the owners family. I ordered take out and got the combo souvlaki. The chicken and pork was awful. Rubbery, fatty chunks of meat. There was hardly any yogurt sauce and it was gross. The tomatoes were mealy and tasteless. How can that be? It’s August in NY– you can find good tomatoes in a garbage can. Then I had the Greek salad. By far the worst Greek salad I’ve ever eaten. It was rotting lettuce and a ton of scallions with the horrible tomatoes with a shred of feta cheese. The only reason this place gets a star is because the fries were halfway decent and I feel bad for them. To top it all off we ordered 2 Greek salads and only got 1 but were charged for 2. Don’t make the same mistake I made.

We ate there last night. My wife had fresh striped bass, which she thoroughly enjoyed and I had zucchini croquettes as a vegetarian dinner (with soup, salad and dessert), which I enjoyed. I am really pleased they have many vegetarian options. We brought our own wine.
Friendly, attractive place.
We will be going back, soon.

We ate at GR last night, and it was great and affordable food. The staff was super nice and helpful, and the food was delicious. I would recommend the grilled octopus, which was fresh and tasty!

Love this place! The owners are super nice and the food is consistently fresh and good!

Had two occasions to eat here and I must say everything was good and tasty. The breakfast was very good and the wait staff were right on the money. Always asking if I wanted more coffee. The lunch was as equally as good the turkey was really fresh and it looked as if the French Fries were home made. Most important the restrooms were clean, always a good sign. The only thing the counter could have been made better.

This place is fantastic. I’ve been here twice now and the food has been excellent. The chicken souvlaki with fries and salad was so good, especially with the homemade tzatziki (my favorite, and this is the best tzatziki I’ve ever had). The grilled salmon and lemon potatoes was also amazing. We tried the zucchini fritters and garlic dip as an appetizer and they were great too – I have no idea what’s in those fritters, but I could’ve eaten another whole plate.
Hands down, this is the best Greek restaurant around and a great addition to the neighborhood. I’ve heard their breakfast is fantastic too – can’t wait to try it!
