    Half devoured gyro
    Dominic C.

    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.

    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!

    The best greek food in Long Island hands down....been coming here for a long time! Very warm and friendly staff

    Mixed grill (selected the sausage, veal, and chicken souvlaki)
    Kevin C.

    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.

    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.

Here's what I ordered: - Miso Spicy Bowl: brown rice, shredded broccoli, jalapeno, sautéed mushrooms, crispy onions, shredded beef and miso dressing It was SO good! I'm tempted to come back again real soon. Give them a try, I highly recommend it.

It's very sad as a business owner that you don't use yelp as a tool, but instead as an attacking ground. The business next door to you has nothing to do with your business. I gave you 4 stars and you attacked me for it. I read your prior reviews and you've attacked others as well. You're supposed to use this to better your business but I see there's no help for you on that. I would never go to your establishment again and I'll make sure the local community knows your behavior as well. If you read my reviews, since you claimed you did, you'll see I'm a 10 year elite with honest and truthful reviews. You'll also see that I don't have a ton of bad reviews, you're just jumping down my throat again because you happened to receive one now. I'm not the one using yelp to destroy businesses, your behavior is what will destroy you. 3rd response: The unprofessionalism is disgusting. I would never step foot in this establishment again after the way the owner has spoken to me. I was never rude and gave this establishment 4 stars... which he then attacked me on and wondered why not 5!? Well, I explained why and was bashed for it. I would never give this place my money again. 2nd response: I opted for the 4 star review because of the price. I am now giving it a 3 star review because of this response. $16 is expensive for a bowl of lettuce, first and foremost... With one piece of chopped up chicken. Your response as a business owner is a little off putting to say the least. I am entitled to my opinion since I've been to plenty of eateries and salad places. I too work 3 jobs in this economy... I understand your costs, but to take it out on the customer is a bit rude. Really delicious salad options as well as make your own. They also have wraps and warm bowls. I made my own salad today and it was delicious! I especially love their street corn option! I will say they're pretty expensive but all in all, a really good place for a salad.

Local to home I figured…read moreI'd try it out since Alpine had a line out the door on Saturday afternoon before Father's Day. Initially we had ordered two rolls and was told no we ordered three so we shrugged it off. I'd also like to note we were paying with a debit card and it's slightly cheapest with cash. The black and white cookie looked delicious so I opted to get one of those. When being rung up we had sticker shock. $9.31 for 1 large black and white cookie. When I said something about it the girl said she'd put it back but we felt bad so we said "no that's okay." because we both felt awkward and it must be pretty special. The apple turnover was $5.20 and lacking apples. We actually threw it in the garbage after 2 bites. All in all the items were not good and not very fresh tasting in our opinion but to each is their own. I honestly with all due respect feel some places are really price gouging since the pandemic. I get that people lost businesses and all but this place is less than a year old and the prices were not justified and not worth it might I add. I wish them all the luck in the world but don't have high expectations for this place. Sorry.

The store is spotless, beautifully organized, and filled with high-quality products that make grocery shopping actually enjoyable. Their prepared foods are always a standout -- from the fresh mozzarella to the chicken cutlets and pasta dishes, everything tastes homemade and full of flavor. The bakery section is equally impressive with fresh breads and pastries that are impossible to resist. But the real *showstopper* for me is their **chocolate section**. It's AMAZING. They have everything from hazelnut truffles to chocolate-covered Nutter Butters, s'mores bites, marzipan (my absolute favorite), orange cream, raspberry (very sweet), coconut cream, toffee, bark, honeycomb, and marshmallow. Every piece tastes like it was made with real ingredients and actual care -- nothing mass-produced or generic. If you have a sweet tooth, this section alone makes the trip worth it. Prices can be a little higher than a typical grocery store, but the quality genuinely matches what you're paying for. The staff is also friendly and helpful, especially at the deli and prepared food counters. Overall, Uncle Giuseppe's is one of the best places for top-tier groceries, delicious prepared foods, and hands-down some of the best chocolates and treats you'll find anywhere. Highly recommend.

I've been here on numerous occasions hoping that maybe this would finally be the visit where everything clicked. Unfortunately, it just hasn't happened. My experiences have been so-so, and more often than not they've been slightly disappointing. My biggest complaint has always been the food. My take has been it's been bland or uninspired. The French onion soup was just ok, and seemed like no effort putting this together. No provolone cheese option when I've ordered which is crazy. The Caesar salad tasted diluted, with lettuce that seemed waterlogged rather than crisp and fresh. Just overall underwhelming. The food is not necessarily terrible, but just mediocre and forgettable. Portion size is another problem. For what you're paying, the plates often feel surprisingly small. One example of this was the "Big C Burger," which was honestly a huge letdown. With a name like that you'd expect something substantial. Instead, the burger was tiny--maybe 4-5 ounces at most. At first glance you could barely even see the meat because the bun swallowed it. I ordered it medium and it came out completely overcooked, cooked to death really. The bun didn't help either--dense, dry, and overpowering the already small patty. The whole thing just felt poorly executed. Even the little details were off. I asked for olive oil on the side for a salad and what came out was clearly some generic vegetable oil. It felt like a lazy substitution, the kind of thing that makes you question how much care is going into the kitchen overall. To be fair, the one thing Faraday's consistently gets right is the atmosphere. The restaurant is has a cozy charming space with a warm pub feel. The indoor dining area although small has character and a comfortable vibe. The outdoor area is really nice too, and perfect for setting for a nice meal on a comfortable day. Service is good. I've not had any issues with any servers ever being inattentive. Occasionally some order mixups but quickly rectified. Unfortunately, that inviting setting hasn't translated to memorable meals. After several attempts over the years, Faraday's has remained one of those places that seems like it should be good--but for me, it just never quite hits.
