This place is great. I'm not sure why there are a bunch of semi-good/bad reviews. They should all be 4-5 star if you ask me. I live 45 minutes away from here and tried it today for the first time because we happen to be in the neighborhood. I guarantee I will be back and probably very soon because it was that good. We had the gyro platter and a chicken sandwich. The meat was so fresh and tasty. The pita was super soft and fresh and the sauce and dressing was super tasty. My platter came with a side salad which was awesome! Everything was so perfect. Super tasty and great portions. I'm a Greek food nut who has tried many places in the city as well as nasssau and Suffolk. This spot is now going to be one of my favorites. I will take the drive for it. The place has plenty of parking, it's super clean and cozy and the girl working the counter and the tables was so sweet and efficient. It was a great experience all around and I recommend that you give it a try if your in the area looking for excellent Greek food. Enjoy read more

I ordered a gyro it looked like a gyro for a child, it was the size of a mini pita. . I've gone there several times and the gyro was much bigger. Would not be going there again.' read more

In the past, this was one of my favorite east north port places to got lunch last week. I ordered 3 falafels, something I get on a regular basis and they were terrible. They were just awful, they were soggy, they were devoid of taste. They were probably the worst meal I've ever had. They were unedible. I called the restaurant to complain that I got bad food and they didn't do anything about it. They explained to me how they were totally fresh and they just made them. And I was nuts, they were promptly tossed in the garbage at a loss of 45 bucks and I won't be back. I was very, very shocked. Because in the past this was my favorite place. The waiters and waitresses are always excellent. The cashiers are ultra friendly. The owners are always very nice. Things are usually excellent. But I got a very bad meal. I was very unhappy and I don't feel they did the right thing by me. The food was so bad.I can't tell you.We then took all three falafels and put them in the dog food bowl, figuring at least speedy would get the benefit of this rotten food.But on a very odd note, speedy refused to eat it, and that's pretty odd cause this is a dog that will eat anything.That's how bad it was.I don't know what happened.They gave me a soggy mess of just horrible, horrible tasting, just rancid food, and i'm very unhappy.I will not be back read more

Alway fresh, amazing owner always there, my go-to food spot for delicious chicken gyro, salad, and omg the spinach pie

Sharing charge of $4.00. What a weird thing to charge people for. Counter workers were nice. The lighting is low and the place is kinda dingy inside. The credit card machine takes FOREVER idk why. They definitely need some upgrading of pricing and look inside this place. The food was definitely not the best Greek food we've had in the area, nor was it the worst. Par for the course. Maybe if I stumbled back in here again I'd eat. But definitely not somewhere I'm pushing to go again. Sorry to say. read more

I have been coming to Athens Square Cafe for at least 30 years. They keep it very clean, friendly,, on the phone and eat in service. And the food is the best I've had. Reasonably priced for the amont of food they give you. Always have leftovers. Keep making those wonderful meals!!! read more

I used to love this place. It has gone downhill majorly. The owner has always been a jerk. Everyone knows that. But the food was at least awesome. Now the food is awful. The portions are so small. And the owner has somehow gotten worse. I saw a woman two weeks ago question the size of the giro asking if it was lunch size or something. She was so polite about it. And the owner SCREAMED at her. It was awful. She said she was a customer for 20 years. This place used to be a nice neighborhood spot for a gyro. And the owner has become his own energy. Don't go here. Plus I know a few people who swear it got them sick. Don't risk it. Their service and standards are done for. read more

Amy is extremely kind and friendly! Very fast and hospitable service. The food is delicious and the portions are large. Their lunch special is a great value! And the lunch special is available any time--not just at lunch! If you're looking for great, authentic Greek food, this is the place you must visit!! The staff is so friendly and the food is great! read more

Nice little spot for lunch. I'm not from the area but I do a lot of driving for work and like to try new places, I called a local Greek food spot and when she told me my small lunch special for a small soup and salad was $28 I did a double take and I said huh? She said a side of meat for my small salad was an extra 15 dollars. I get prices went up but, that's a little ridiculous. So as I was driving looking for lunch I saw this place and I decided to stop in. They were very friendly and welcoming which was nice. The food was good as well as the prices. Got exactly what I wanted for under $20. I'll go back if I'm in the area. read more

Surprusef to see such a low rating because this is our go to greek takeout choice! Consistently great and reasonably priced compared to others in the area. Most often we order lamb or chicken gyros and their mozz sticks. French fries always are a bit soggy by arrival but we pop em in the air fryer and theyre grrrreat read more

I think the food here is amazing! I love their greek salad with chicken! The yogurt dressing and pita are delicious! I usually get the food to go here during my lunch! The lady at the counter is very nice! read more

Let's start with the kids answering the phone. We asked for taramasalta (on their menu), her response was "what's that?". Should have skipped ordering it because we spent $9.00 on a dollop of dip. The Greek salad with grilled chicken was underwhelming. Very little lettuce and oily dressing. Husband ordered a gyro (despite menu saying it comes with onions) there were none. There is a lot of competition around for Greek food. I'd skip this place. read more

I walked in Today for a side of chicken gyro and 2 pitas for my son. $12.00. I barely got any gyro all ends. Will never go back. I'm tired of restaurants /takeouts taking advantage! Big prices and tiny portions. read more

Athens Square Cafe - a plate of food in a styrofoam container - Greek Near Me - East Northport, New York

Best Greek salad I've ever had, everything was chopped so small! Service was excellent and efficient! Definitely recommend

There I was hungry but not the normal kind of hungry...that kind of hunger that only a chicken soovlacki can satisfy...I enter...I am greeted by what can only be described as the most Greek person I've ever laid eyes on (very hairy)... nonetheless I order my chiken soovlacki but oh my!! Suddenly the feeling hits a feeling we all know too well...I need a bev I gaze past the man at the soda fountain...we lock eyes ISLAND. ORANGE. RUSH. Now if you know anything about me I love anything orange flavored I'm what you would call a slut for citrus nonetheless I order the IOR (Island orange rush) oh my what's this 5$!!!!!! FOR A SMALL SODA?!?!?? A cup like the ones you get on a plane like a tiny ass cup like soo fuckin small like think of a small cup...imagine it in your mind...yeah pretty small huh nope...make it smaller yep now you've got it...nonetheless I did not protest (I am a timid man by nature) I drink my newly purchased tablespoon worth of IOR (Island orange rush) and it was.......not great the soovlacki was pretty good tho Alyssa did not spit in my food (I asked her to) (terrable)? read more

My entire order was wrong! I ordered chicken souvlaki with fries for myself and my daughter. They made them souvlaki gyros. NOT what I ordered. And my fiancés gyro was plain! I didn't order it plain! Avgalemeno soup - poor. I love Aegean grill. Should've stuck with that! read more

It's ashame how one bad experience can turn you off from a place for life. I absolutely love the food here. However, I went there for dinner last night and experienced such horrible service to the point I will never go there again. The waitress knew exactly what she did wrong and didn't even try to apologize. Nope, she just ignored the situation and the girl is lucky I was nice enough to leave a tip, but I think the staff may need to work on their customer service skills. In conclusion. The place is great for take out, but don't dine in. Unless you have nowhere to be and enjoy the waitress giving you an attitude while she forgets to put in your order, because she is too busy talking to her friends. Oh and I called my order in over the phone and explained that we want to eat there, but ordering now because I have a toddler who didn't nap and in unpredictable in a restaurant. Get there 15 minutes later, she acknowledges that the order was called in. We waited an additional 40 minutes before the food came out!!! I don't care if you talk to your friends, but, to give me an eye roll and not even acknowledge or say sorry for the wait is what really upset me. An apology can go a long way. read more

Food is always on point. Service is okay everytime. The ambiance is always clean. Very great food which makes up for the service and I used to work there and don't anymore and still order because the food is just unreal. Great yogurt sauce & dressing!, crab cakes, saganaki, and chicken gyro and salads are my favorites here. read more

We saw online menu on their website and called to place an order for pickup. Online menu has kids menu, but they said they don't have kids menu. My chopped steak (it is like a huge hamburger) was tasteless. I wonder if they forgot to season. The dressing for Greek Salad was jut ok and my husband thought the lettuce were chopped too small. I wish they had lemon potato for dinner because their potato was just oven baked potato. Baklava came with complete dinner set was good. read more

Love the food. Its our go to Greek restaurant. My favorite is the Greek salad with chicken gyro meat. The salad dressing is excellent. My husband's favorite is the chicken gyro with fries. The tzatziki is fantastic. read more

Chicken gyro was very good. It was fresh. Place had a nice vibe. I would go there again and try the souvlaki.

This has got to to be one of the smallest gyros I've ever gotten for $9 dollars. It looks like it came off a kids menu. read more

Reliably good, reasonably priced take out. Always ready quickly and usually can get two meals out of a lunch special. Been going here over 10 years. The owners are great! read more

Walked in to get food. Was immediately scolded for mask. Dangerous place. I didn't place the order someone else did. I was shocked to pay 36 dollars for a crappy little sandwich and salad. Never again. But don't worry I'm sure you will get Covid bailed out. Sandwich was dry an inedible. read more

Their gyros are so delicious I crave them all the time. Great tzatziki sauce and spanakopita as well. Friendly staff. Low key

Usually go to the place down the block, but decided to give this place a try. Big mistake!!! Called in an order for 2 gyros and a side of hummus. Upon returning home found that the onions and yogurt sauce were left off both sandwiches. Can you say dry tasteless sandwich. BTW, hummus was tasteless as well. First and last time we will be eating at Athens Square Cafe. read more

This has to be my favorite greek place ever. Every time I eat here I get the same waitress, Catherine. She is an amazing waitress and she makes the experience much better. Great food, great service, great experience. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Stuffed mushrooms as appetizer were a bit rubbery and tasted like they had been in the freezer too long. Skip the falafel dinner.. There is no textuure nor taste and patties instead of the more familiar falafel balls were served. Plain and very disappointing and were in the oil too long or reheated. Chicken gyro sandwich was very good. That's about it. read more

Went there for lunch, not very good. Ordered gyro dinner, to me a gyro is meat & fixings wrapped in a pita, this was sliced stiff gyro meat on a plate with potatoes, asked the waitress 'what's this?" She replied the "gyro dinner" needless to say I should have ordered the gyro lunch instead. My guests ordered lunch, the oven baked potatoes were overly "crispy" meaning they weren't edible. the rice pudding for dessert also was left, the rice was hard as a rock. We were the only ones there for lunch, had to call the waitress over a couple times. Not impressive at all! read more

Have lived in town for 20+ years and think I've been coming here ever since. I seem to always get the same thing, chicken souvlaki lunch special with salad. It's really excellent. The pita there are excellent and so is the yogurt sauce which makes for an excellent sandwich. Really can't speak much about their other food. If I have one complaint, the chicken is overdone a lot. But hey, it's not fine dining and better safe than sorry I guess. Will continue to go for another 29 years hopefully. read more

This was always one of my go to places. While I still feel the food is good the service and the attitude is sometimes really lousy. Which to me is 50 percent of the meal. I was there last night and after one to many attitudes I will not be back. Their food is not that good to put up with it. read more

Loved our gyros and chicken souvlaki. Chicken was flavorful and juicy. Tzatziki sauce was fantastic! Solid price too

Food is delicious but the portions are a joke.I ordered chicken souvlaki dinner for 20 bucks and got 5 little pieces of chicken

So happy they updated the service here! I loved Athens Square and was going there for years! Service was falling short where I felt board line uncomfortable to eat there (won't get into that because the two women are clearly not working there anymore). Food is great, especially the yogurt sauce and house dressing! Service is so much better than a few years ago. So happy I have Athens Square in my life again! I literally refuse to eat greek anywhere else but here! read more

I've been to this restaurant a number of times and I've gotten hair in my food too many times.To me getting hair in my food is the most repulsive thing that can happen I will never go there again. And to boot I don't think the owner cares read more

Great falafel and hummus. The atmosphere is casual booth seating. Nothing fancy but great for a quick bites. Pricing is standard for such a place. Friendly and extremely quick service. Ill definitely be back. read more

Great food and casual atmosphere. I love the chicken gyro and their Greek salad and dressing are both excellent. Highly recommended.
