Greecian Island Restaurant

Food was fine, no better or worse than your average coney but the service was atrocious. I don’t know who our server was as she failed to mention her name or even say hello, just demanded our drink order. She never checked on us once the food was delivered and couldn’t even manage a thank you as the bill was dropped. I’ve had friendlier service at a fast food place.

This place is pretty much your typical coney, with a few exceptions. They do three things extremely well: seasoned fries, gyros, & Greek salads (with chicken & pita). All three are above average in my opinion.
The service is like any other diner, quick and to the point. It does have a bit of a rushed feeling when you dine here, but I guess that’s not always a bad thing.
This is definitely our go-​to if we are looking for a quick & simple breakfast or lunch. Never had a bad experience.

Staff were polite and efficient. Food was pretty typical of this type of restaurant. Not a bad spot at all for a quick inexpensive meal.

LOVE this place. We have been going for years and it is always great. Consistent food and service. When my family comes into town they cant wait to go here. The BEST grilled chicken Greek salad I have ever eaten anywhere! I promise you will not be disappointed. The only thing that could make it better would be if they served wine! :)

I drove across town to meet a friend here since he recommended it and I’m glad he did. 5 stars for sure. This place was quite the surprise, on point from A to Z.
From the very friendly service to the very tasty food! And did I Mention clean? This establishment obviously takes pride in itself w a proactive approach and you can tell; which always is a bonus when so many establishments fall short in that department. I expected it to be decent like most Greek diners but this one definitely stands out and has earned a special place in my belly. Back to the food, I had a grilled chicken sandwich that actually looked good, smelled good and tasted good. Trifecta! Fresh and delicious just like the Greek salad I had and it’s been a while since I’ve had a memorable one of those. The clam chowder is one of the best this side of New England. Need I say more?
The only problem is that its over an hour away but a trip I’m willing to take. Do Yourself a favor and eat here.

Wow, really good food every time. Friendly waitstaff. The Zeus omelette rocks with gyro meat. Once a week I eat here and I’m
never disappointed.
Grecian island is also really good Sunday morning after a long night downtown.

The hot Turkey sandwich is always good. Great place to go for good sit down get in an out dinner.

Service was prompt and friendly. Good chicken gyro supreme & crispy fries! Sander’s hot fudge cream puff so good.
Great place for a quick sit down dinner

We have been to this place a few times. The food has been good for the most part, but the service hasn’t been. This last visit tops them all. Myself and my boyfriend went in at 2:50pm for lunch, the place was empty. We ordered saganaki and when it was brought to us the cheese was hard not melted at all, a perfect rectangle, and the bottom burned black. The waitress came back and we told her it wasn’t right she agreed stating it was not melted as it should be and also burnt. We asked for a new one. The new one came back 10 min later and same thing, not burnt this time but not melted just the same. She said «eh sorry I know it’s not completely right but at least it isn’t burnt». After eating half of it she came back and said her boss knew how to make it melted. She took it away brought it back again and it was the same not melted piece that she took away. «Idk what to say» she said «sorry.» I also sent back my coke before all this because it tasted like syrup, exchanged for a water. After the appetizer we then waited another 25 min for our food to come, a coney dog and a club sandwich! Yes 25 minutes! This was crazy and if her boss was there as she stated SHAME ON HIM! We were charged for the messed up saganaki and the pop I didn’t drink and sent back. We will never go back.

I came her with my Sister and my Wife for lunch. I wasn’t expecting much, but wow my gyro was way above average, so was my spinach salad. Lots of great tasting feta cheese on both. My Sister’s baked eggplant dish, «I’m not going to try to spell it from memory but you know what I mean», that looked great too. I ended up trying some and it was also delicious. Service was good too. I’m sure I will be back next time we’re in the area.

Gyro and one steak was perfect, other steak was very raw and two lamb shanks weren’t worth it. Felt very rushed, food came very fast but didn’t even have enough time to eat appetizers. Waitress was kind though.

My experience, whether actually causal is a good question.
I had Parmesan Chicken and Lemon Rice Soup at Grecian Island on Thursday evening at about 8:30 pm. It was on special.
The Lemon Rice Soup tasted pretty good; I ate the entire cup.
The Chicken was a little burnt on the bottom, but I didn’t eat that part.
I pointed out the burnt part to the waitress, and she said, «Oh, you don’t like it?» but no offer to replace.
The Chicken dish looked really good, but it wasn’t very tasty, and I probably ate only ¼ of it.
About 1 a.m. I was very sick, extreme abdominal pain, spent about ½ hour on the commode.
After that I seemed fine again.
I suspect the cause of my illness is the Parmesan Chicken dish, but it could be the Lemon Rice Soup, or it could be just a crazy fluke.

Owner does not care about his customers! Background: me: female, usually solo. Polite, non-​demanding, generous tipper. Waitress brings me fish with their truly terrible tasting teriyaki sauce, which does not belong on a piece of salmon anyway. When I told her I did not want the sauce on the fish and that I could not and would not eat it that way, she yelled at me and became quite mean. (She WAS very, very young, but STILL. I was seething and said to her: «You should ask your customers what they want.» So, I talked to the owner and told him what happened. I said, I’m not here to cause trouble. I don’t want anything for free. But maybe your waitress needs a little more training and should ask people if they want the teriyaki sauce on their fish BEFORE she puts the order in. HE WAS SO RUDE AND SO MEAN I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I just said: «REALLY». I still left a $ 2.00 tip on the bill, even though the «service» (which consisted of meanness, and then the waitress spilling coffee all over the table) was truly rotten. After getting further abuse by the owner, I have decided I have to find another place to eat. Which is too bad, since this restaurant is one of the closest to my new home. The owner is DEFINITELY in the wrong business. I think if you are going to own a restaurant, you have to at least PRETEND you like people. This guy should be in the back somewhere punching numbers or something where you never ever deal with people. Even though I had eaten at his establishment almost daily for a month, I was never greeted with the tiniest bit of warmth. That would have been okay. I didn’t even know he was the owner until I had the problem. When he was as mean and as rude as he was, I realize now that he IS actually the owner. I don’t know if I will ever go back. What a disappointment! It is hard for me to believe someone could care that little about a good, kind, generous customer! But it is what it is. Very sucky experience.

This is our favorite coney around! Larger portions than others and great service at decent prices. My husband loves the chicken tenders, I love the BLT’s & club sandwiches, and our son gets the grill cheese. We get out if there for under $ 30 including the tip :)

This place isn’t winning any awards for restaurant of the year, but they make a really mean lamb gyro. Honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. My stomach is growling right now, I might actually make a drive and go pick one up for lunch!

Love it here! We moved to the area 2 years ago — we’d call this place a diner… not sure if the locals would agree.
The gyros are amazing, the Grilled chicken greek salad with pitas is to die for, and the Zeus’s omelette is simply amazing if you like spinach, tomatoes, feta, and gyro meat. We seem to order the same things over and over again but I never get tired of it. My other favorite is the California gyro, which is grilled veggies. YUMMMMY!
Will miss you Grecian Island…

This is a great neighborhood restaurant for a good, solid meal. The service is always very prompt. The food has always been very good. We eat here regularly and have found it to be better than any of the other ‘greek type’ diners in the area.

Family-​owned and operated by real Greeks! I love this place soooo much. Their food is fresh and comforting. They have the best greek chicken salad, Saunder’s cream puff, macaroni and cheese, milkshakes, diet coke, and flaming cheese.
I grew-​up going to this little gem of a diner and hope they stay in business forever. Way to stick around Grecian Isle!

I love Greecian Island. My family and I have been going there ever since they opened. Their food is always delicious and there service is timely and intelligent. My only gripes are soggy salads and waitstaff with attitudes. I stopped going there for nearly six months based on one waitress that treated me poorly. She has since gone but this is kind of a trend with Greecian Island. They get a couple waitresses that can do their job well but treat customers like asses. Dont get me wrong, I know I can come off a bit pompous, I am, but when it comes to my food I dont mess around. So any reason for treating me poorly is on them.

My girlfriend and I visited this restaurant on the recommendations here, previous to my own. I’m unsure if it was said recommendations that befouled my experience or what, but I left rather unsatisfied. I didn’t take the remainders of my food home, which says a lot for me.
The food was very disappointing, for the most part, *especially* considering the price. The saganaki (flaming cheese) was pretty good. It was my first experience with it and I was pleased. I ordered the spinach pie, which came with rice and assorted vegetables, and therein lies the problem. It seemed like I could have bought my entire meal out of the freezer of a grocery store… apart from the water, which came out of a well. My girlfriend’s chicken gyro and lemonade were good, though.
The service was okay. I’d probably rate it 3 stars. It was a little weird/​off-​putting that the management (I think) was always floating around, though.
The décor was a little beyond standard for a Coney Island kind of place, at least in terms of design. The place isn’t in awful condition, but it could use a bit of upkeep. The menu’s nice, though it’s the only thing that impressed me.
In the end, the price doesn’t match the experience, especially not for food that I swear I could have bought out of a freezer. I’d like to say I’ll give it another try, but I really don’t see it happening.
