OMG, where was this place when I was growing up on the Island?!!! Met friends who frequently dine here. Service was outstanding, from our server to the young man assisting. Tons of food... all good...the lemon chicken soup was very creamy and honestly the best I have ever had. My small Greek side salad was anything but, and very very fresh. My standard order is spanakopita, but I thought I'd try the (feta / spinach) stuffed chicken, served with a very yummy rice. I barely squeezed a bite as I was so full from everything else, but it was excellent!!...and I didn't mention the chickpeas and pita.... Took the chicken home and literally had 3 more meals from it!!! Will definitely return when in town. read more

Akropolis Greek Restaurant - Hubby's dinner - Greek Near Me - Nesconset, New York

One of my favorite Greek restaurants in this area that serves authentic Greek cuisine with generous portions at reasonable prices. Instead of my usual gyro platter I ordered the grilled filet of flounder dinner and I think I discovered my favorite fish dish going forward. Flounder was cooked to perfection: moist, flatly and well seasoned. Served with a vegetable, rice and a side salad. First time trying something either than a gyro or souvlaki and was truly amazed with this dish. Our server Victor was outstanding and always on point. Great Greek restaurant serving the typical and authentic Greek dishes at reasonable prices with an all star staff. read more

I will not bury the lead here. Akropolis is a fantastic authentic Greek restaurant without a doubt. I first visited Akropolis about eight years ago. My cousin, who lives in St. James invited a bunch of the family out for a meal. At the time it was about 45 minutes to an hour from where I lived. I thought it was fantastic, but I was disappointed that it was so far away. About 3 1/2 years ago, we moved closer to it and I've been there many times since. Today I grabbed a Gyro to go. However, I have had many great meals there. One of the great things about this restaurant is that they offer chickpea salad and pita bread when you arrive. The salad is fantastic. Somehow this type of service is a lost art? Their entrées are also really good. They have a fantastic egg lemon soup. I would also highly recommend the spanakopita as well as the falafel appetizer . For the main course, I would definitely recommend the mixed grill. If you're like me and I have trouble making up your mind this solves your problem. My wife is not a huge fan of Greek food. But she is a huge fan of burgers. The burgers here are outstanding as well as the fries. Close it out with the baklava and I think you are good to go. Definitely check this place out. It is one of the few places that still serve good quality authentic food with great portions at a reasonable price. read more

Wow!!!! First time trying this restaurant & definitely will not be the last. The Gyro meat was the freshest I've EVER had & so delicious. The Avgolemono soup, out of this world. So so good!!!! Both the side salad & Gyro was enough for two ppl. The next table (7 ppl) all kept saying how delicious their food was. The service was great!!!! Rico was so attentive & friendly. The restaurant was packed which is always a good sign. They also have outside seating right in front. Give it a try & enjoy!!!!! I almost forgot & had to edit this because I had to tell you about the most delicious rice pudding I've ever had. I overheard the next table raving about it so I ordered it to take home because I was so full. It was so creamy & fresh. A MUST try. read more

Delicious as always, family style is the way to go! Everything was served fast, warm, and full of flavor. Kind, friendly staff that treats you like family. Adorable, cozy interior. A great place for a Greek meal, or takeout! read more

Love this place. Their food is amazing and healthy portions with reasonable prices. Their chickpea salad with soft, warm pita bread they serve at the beginning is delicious! Their gyro meat and chicken gyro meat are so fresh and tasty. On top of all of this is their service. They are so friendly and always accommodating. We love the wait staff, but the waiter who has been there for MANY years is always ready and welcoming. Trust me, you won't be disappointed read more

My family and I have been going here for over twenty years. It's the most fresh, amazing Greek food I've ever had. Their chickpea app is incredible as well as all the entrees. The owners are such a sweet family and the staff is so welcoming. A must! read more

Still my favorite Greek spot in the area. I have tried almost every local spot and Akropolis is the best. Their portion sizes and quality/flavor is unmatched. One of my new favorite items is the Greek Country Salad. It tastes so fresh and authentic. The grape leaves that come on top are phenomenal. The lemon chicken soup is always a favorite too in addition to the gyros. They also have the best tzatziki! Pick up orders are always ready quickly and the restaurant is always packed. Inside of the restaurant is very relax ambiance, no frills but still nice! The only downside is they are closed on Sundays. read more

We've only ordered take out and we've been coming here for many years. The gyro sandwich is generous and is good to share. Greek salad and lemon chicken soup are both very good. The kids gyro meal is perfect if you just want meat, pita and it comes with french fries and dessert. We always choose the rice pudding which sooo good! read more

It was our first time here at the restaurant and I'm glad we did. Walking in, it felt like the place has been there for years and it has this charming fixture to the place and it was quite busy with probably a lot of regulars. We didn't have to wait far too long for table for two. We were greeted with free chick peas salad and some bread. The salad was really good and that was a great start to the rest of the meal. I ordered the sliced lamb and beef gyro sandwich for $13. Let me tell you, the portion of the gyro along with all the fixings especially the chopped lettuce was stupendous. Most important of all, the beef was absolutely tender and no dried corners whatsoever. We also got the mixed grill where we got to pick 3 proteins, so we selected the veal, sausage, and chicken souvlaki for $30. We upcharged that by $6 additional for a side of soup, choice of soft drink or coffee or tea, and a dessert. It was so worth it. All the meat especially the veal was so tender. Love it when a place knows how to cook the meat to perfection without overdoing it. The mixed grill came with rice pilaf and green beans. But definitely the star was the meats. When it came to dessert, we got the spomuni truffle ice cream with an upcharge of $3. All in all, amazing food, real down to earth excellent service and care and certainly will come back in the future. read more

Hands down the BEST and most authentic Greek Food on Long Island. Have been dining consistently here for both lunch and/ dinner for years.

We've been dining here for several years...the BEST Greek Food, and the nicest Owner, Gus!!

I always get takeout from here. I think they have the best Gyro around. The tomatoes they get are so tasty year round, not sure where they are sourcing them from. They are always friendly and the food is quickly prepared. Stop in you'll enjoy it too. I promise. read more

Still a good restauraunt. They have started cutting corners on quality. Authentic souvlaki has LAMB not pork or beef. I know lamb is expensive. Wire loved scanacopita and backalava. Waitresses best ever. Their suggestions where on point and helpful to family dining. Price was affordable. Reccommend but suggest offer more authentically Greek options as that s WHY discerning customers seek out this nrestauraunt read more

Have been a customer here for at least 20 years or so, lovely and comfortable decor. Mostly eat in, since I'm not around the corner. (Boo hoo). Their food and service has always been outstanding. Years ago when I went with my Mom and sons, they all wrinkled their noses to the thought of the chick pea salad. Well one taste and they all changed their minds, had to get more, yes it's that good. Food is always fresh, most plentiful and simply delicious. At one time, could never get my husband to eat Greek food. Well he finally tried and loves the grilled salmon and rice entree. (Actually one of his favs). And oh yes, he always gets their egg lemon soup, not to be missed. Highly recommend Akropolis Greek Restaurant for a memoral meal and your next day's lunch. read more

Food is delicious! I come back again and again because it's always so good. From the gyros to the octopus, everything has always been fresh and delicious. They are generous with their portions and the value is great, too! Good for families and children. Not a big place, they don't take reservations but it's worth the wait! read more

I got lunch today in Nesconset at Akropolis, and it was delicious! The portions were humongous, and the prices were more than fair. I think the restaurant was family owned, at least it felt like it was. The staff were so friendly and super quick. I ordered a chicken gyro and an egg lemon soup. The soup was delicous it had big pieces of fresh chicken (you can tell it was definitely homemade) and my gyro was huge I ate maybe half of it (rest will be dinner) the yogurt sauce was honestly the best I've ever had! My Husband had the Mediterranean chicken he said it was delicious and his chicken was so tender (I didn't get a picture of his,he gets aggravated when I take my "stupid food pics" lol jerk ) and my son had a grilled cheese and fries. We all got drinks, and the bill was only 51 bucks. Honestly, that's cheaper than some crappy fast food meals! read more

So yesterday I had moussaka for the very first time as i have been wanting to try it. This place is my go to for greek food so, I ordered. It was literally delicious. So good I want more....but there was an issue; It came as a sandwich width and length piece and a gigantic pile of green beans. So 1/4 moussaka and 3/4 string beans. Gross. So I tried to call them today to see if we could do something different. I paid $24 for a pile of something I don't like with a small bit of something I love. A kid kept answering "hello? Hold!" ....I hold a few minutes and then tried again. Twice. So forget it I ordered from another place in the area. Lets see how theirs comes. pic below of the plate after I ate the moussaka UPDATE: I got moussaka from elsewhere. Doesnt even hold a candle to the one from Akropolis. Hopefully we can get them to more generous with the fantastic moussaka and more stingy with string beans lol read more

Consistent and delicious! We have ordered in from Akropolis too many times to count! The gyros are always huge, fresh and delicious. They have the best yogurt sauce of any greek restaurant I have been to. The pitas are always soft and taste as if they were just made to order. The lemon potatoes are a family favorite and I am obsessed with their french fries! We always get asked to bring in from Akropolis when family comes over. read more

I love the food here, full of flavor and delicious. Totally recommend this place. You should try it.

Just received a Greek salad from here and it was so soggy and inedible. On top of that, the chicken gyro was completed cold. Never again Such a shame because I loved this place before. read more

Food and service!!! As a Greek American I am impressed with the quality of the food and the service. I am returning. read more

Came here on a weekend for dinner and the place was packed so I highly recommend calling ahead for a table if you can. There is seating at the bar available too which opens up quicker than the dining room area. We didn't mind the wait and once we were seated, things moved pretty quickly. Our server was polite but very much down to brass tacks which we liked bc we're not big talkers. Food was prepared quickly and was super fresh and flavorful. The portion sizes are very generous and we left with a container of leftover as did almost every table we could see. Excellent spot for authentic Greek food. read more

ABSOLUTE knockout place! The owner is adorable and keep checking on and joking with our table. We had a big dinner party under some sad circumstances because we were together for a memorial but this restaurant helped us to forget about that. I tried galaktoboureko for the first time and it was delicious! 10/10 would recommend this plans! The portions are HUGE so be prepared for that! We could have ordered half of what we did. But, I had delicious leftovers in the hotel fridge for a few days! Hope to be back under better circumstances next time. :) read more

My wife and I have been going to Acropolis for years both for takeout and sit-down meals. Our favorite spot to enjoy a relaxing meal. The food is delicious, and the service is is always friendly and attentive. We always have enough food to take home for another meal. Tremendous value compared to the many restaurants that are currently ripping off their customers these days. We will keep coming back for as long as we are able to. read more

This is your average Americanized Greek food restaurant. As a Greek person, I don't get the hype. I keep giving it chances and every time I get mad at myself for ordering. Their tzatziki is too garlicky and their chicken souvlaki is so dry and tasteless! The only thing I like is their Greek salad. They give you a lot of feta in big chunks and the vegetables are of good quality. read more

Really grossed out that there was a random piece of sun dried tomato in my Greek salad. Did you guys give me someone's leftovers? I'm so disappointed in my order tonight. No grape leaf in my salad either. And the lady that took my order was argumentative and rude read more

Best Greek food in the smithtown area. Never had a bad meal here whether it be sit down or take out. Parking lot is a bit wonky with dirt patches and pot holes. But plenty of spots. Always very pleasant on the phone and in person when taking out food. Very clean. plenty of seating. Best Greek salad in all the land. read more

I had the gyro dinner. So much food! Excellent. I grew up in Astoria and I can honestly say this is one of the best Greek restaurants I've been to. We have been back since the first time we went. Generous portions. Great service. Delicious food. Love this place! Was a great find for my husband and I. read more

Outstanding local spot for some great Greek fare. Delicious egg lemon soup, fresh & tasty Greek salad, and do not miss the souvlaki holy cow is it huge and tasty. The dinner generously comes with salad, veggies & rice but they are more than willing to do substitutions - I usually do the lemon potatoes instead of green beans bc they're just so good. Highly recommended if you're in the area. read more

I have been going to Akropolis for years. The service is always wonderful, and the Greek salad is probably one of the best you can get. Lots of feta, generous portion of chicken, and flavorful dressing. The large can easily feed two people. read more

So glad we finally found our goto Greek spot in the area. After a few swings and misses we hit a home run here. (Most of) The food was outstanding, the staff were all very friendly, and the prices were fair. -Gyro: 5/5, absolutely delicious. Huge, and filled with meat. Seasoned perfectly and cooked perfectly. -Chicken Gyro: 5/5, again, delicious. The size of these were massive and they didn't skimp out at all. -Falafel: 2/5, definitely not the best I've had. Very bland and just "blah" I won't be getting this again but glad I tried it. Overall, I can say I'm very happy to have found this restaurant and can confidently call it my goto Greek spot. read more
