I've personally ordered from Greek Cove and decided to put them to the test with a large office cater order for 60 people. Their prices are great for the amount of food you get. Plenty for everyone and enough for seconds! The food came fresh, tasted delicious and was on time! Dean from start to finish was responsive and very helpful. I would not hesitate to order catering from here. They really came through. read more

It's been a couple of years since I last visited Greek Cove in Merrick, but it made me happy once again. Th space is small, but there is a bunch of seating to dine in. We started off with the falafel and hummus. Falafel, served with pita, is fried to a lovey crisp with a creamy interior. Both the hummus and tahini are nice and smooth. The combo plate is a ton of food and great for sharing, we even left with leftovers. Served with 2 pitas, a nice sized Greek salad, a load of fries, tatziki and your choice of 2 meats. We got the gyro and chicken souvlaki. The gyro is really delicious, well seasoned, juicy and wonderful. The chicken also had great flavor, albeit slightly on the dry side. The fries and salad are also great This is a great place for a takeout meal or a simple casual meal. read more

Large portions, French fries and rice are very good, chicken kebab was a little disappointing because it was dry. read more

I have been coming to this Greek Cove location for several years. We would stop to pick up food before heading down to the beach. Not sure if there are new owners but the people manning the counter during our recent visit were not friendly at all. I ordered two sandwiches to go. When I got there at the designated time for pick up the food wasn't ready and I was made to feel that I was rushing them. I had to wait another 10 min for my order and when the food was ready and I picked up the bag against my better judgement I didn't check the bag to see if I was given plastic utensils and napkins as I had requested. Needless to say as my wife and got to the beach and were ready to eat we were kind of disappointed to find out tge we were not provided plastics forks, knives or napkins as I had requested. I mean c'mon are things that bad that they can't provide utensils. We spent $38 for 2 sandwiches and drinks but we didn't spend enough to get utensils abd napkins???? You may have saved a few pennies but you have lost my business forever! read more

Love the greek cove. it's hard to find delicious greek in long island but i found it! This location was slamming with orders and i know why. The staff are so sweet and they're pretty authentic greek. Everything we ordered was great - i ended up ordering from here three times in two weeks. 10/10 read more

Food & service was amazing! Got the gyro platter and it came with a Greek salad. Hubby got the chicken Slovakia platter. Tzatziki Sauce was outstanding! Business was booming! People were eating in and taking out orders. Very impressed! Will be back! read more

Took a star off because it said on Yelp they were open on Sunday and after many calls they were not! Wasted alot of time finding out and then had to find an alternate Greek venue for dinner. Food was always good but this lack of communication was a downer. read more

We liked three important things about this Greek Cove (there is another one in nearby Long Beach): the staff seemed super comfortable & relaxed with each other, which made ordering and service run smoothly and easily; the gentleman putt our order to was warm & gracious; and lastly, the size and taste of our chicken gyros was impressive and tasty, as was the huge side of fries. It was all filling, flavorful & accompanied by quick & friendly service read more

Consistently good! Absolutely love their Greek salad and lemon orzo soup! Highly recommend

We stopped by for lunch and loved everything about it here! The restaurant had plenty of seating with a huge glass door open in front for an open indoor/outdoor concept which provided a beautiful ambiance on a nice day. The prices were a great deal for their huge portions!! We got the baba ganoush which came with 3 homemade pitas and the gyro sandwich with fries. All were very tasty with big portions that was a enough for a meal of leftovers the next day. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately for us we came for lunch while visiting family and don't live near by, but if we did we would definitely make this place a regular stop! We will be back when in the area again! read more

I have frequented Greek Cove on several occasions and have appreciated the consistency of the food and service. Always good for a quick meal, the portions are sizable and I would say for the price one of the best bang for your buck greek fast food restaurants in the area. The lamb gyro is a go-to and recommended. read more

Food is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Quick take out spot for fresh good food. Highly recommend.

Easy online ordering. Delicious food. Large lunch portions. Fast service. The spinach pie lunch- this was the largest portion of spinach pie that I have ever gotten at any greek restaurant. I will be coming back here to order again! read more

Great freshly prepared food!! We like the East Norwich location better but live on the south shore so we are closer to Merrick. Highly recommended this place!!!! read more

The ABSOLUTE BEST Greek salad EVER. First of all, it was HUUUUUUUUUGE. I mean, so huge that I got THREE meals out of it, and it stayed fresh for three days, too... even more impressive. I also ordered some gyro meat a la carte...... they gave me such a huge portion of that, as well. The Greek Salad included romaine lettuce, Feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onions, Kalamata olives, with their house vinaigrette, and came with pita bread, as well. The vegetables were oh so fresh, and the salad dressing was delicious. Everything about this salad was top notch all the way. I'd return in a heartbeat. Just gonna be kinda difficult to do anytime soon since I live 3,000 miles away, but I WILL be back. That's a certainty. To L.I. and to the Greek Cove. You guys rock !! read more

Greek Cove - One of my 3 days worth of Greek Salad that I added some gyro meat to. DELICIOUS !! - Greek Near Me - Merrick, New York

Delicious food, when we order Greek cuisine at home or in the office, we order Greek cove. Never disappoints!

Shame on me for not listening to the bad reviews. In my defense, I attempted to get my husband to choose another Greek place but he insisted, "we don't have to do everything Yelp tells us to do!" And now, $65 later, I'm regretting not listening to my heart AKA Yelp. Maybe we caught them on a bad night but this was not a very smart dinner choice for us. The falafel platter was literally a bunch of falafel with fries. For $20!!! Excuse me?! I'm a nurse, not a billionaire! (Please see pic for what I got for 20 dollhairs. I'm still very upset about it). If that wasn't bad enough, I got a Greek salad that didn't come with dressing, my husband ordered a Fanta and was given a Sprite (it's as if they just said "no, we're not going to let you know we're all out of your desired pop, here's a completely different flavor and hopefully you won't notice"), and the smallest slice of $6 baklava you'll ever sink your teeth into. The other negative was that we specifically asked for tzatziki sauce and were just not given any. I can't imagine a Greek restaurant ran out or just didn't have any. The falafel was grainy and dry without a sauce to eat it with. I'm giving two stars because the food wasn't awful; it just wasn't very good. For all these reasons, we will not be ordering from Greek Cove ever again. read more

So .... Do I really need a reason to have dinner out ?? I think not.... We decided to try Greek Cove because we were looking for a cheaper option than our normal Mediterranean haunts. Missed the mark on that count but we will absolutely be going back. A small 'take out' place with a few tables so it is best to call in your order. Honestly, the star of the show is the food ... grilled veggies are amazing, as is the shrimp. Huge portions served with a salad everything fresh and tasty. Worth the trip !! read more

I order takeout from here often, absolutely I have to say their chicken tenders are very good. The food never arrives cold. When I go there in person, the employees are very friendly and polite. The inside of the restaurant is also very visually appealing. read more

Great food, great service. Has a nice outdoor seating area. The new paintings inside add exponentially to the aura and ambiance of Greek Cove. 10 out of 10, would recommend. read more

They have an app that comes with their three spreads: hummus and baba ganoush are great - the red pepper feta dip not so much - we never end up finishing it, or even eating it. Will try to remember to just order the first two. The trio serving is enormous for like $20. Someone said the wings were good, so sampled the small size, they were pretty good - as good as your local pub. The doner was superb. Did the beef/lamb and the chicken gyros. My guest ordered her gyro without tomato. Didn't know why. Ended up being a good move. The tomato wedges in the gyro were not good (not fresh) and even the red onion was wilted and had a taste. We also did Greek salads which came with grape tomatoes- much better - but the red onion in the salad was also gross - kinda mop-water tasting. Otherwise the salad and their dressing was incred. Their tzatziki also had all the right flavors - very cucumber-y, yet it was kinda watery and not a consistency I've had before (I'm not the Greek food connoisseur so take that FWIW). We did a platter of the beef for the kids to split - no kids menu, but that was perfect for the boys. Will definitely order again for convenience (they accept orders from all the apps) - and prep and delivery quoted times were speedy. I will add my own fresh cut tomatoes and red onion from home to my gyro when I order next. read more

Came in for lunch with some friends. It was a beautiful day & the glass was open so the fresh air was flowing in. The service was very friendly & accommodating for some of my friends' dietary needs. We all enjoyed our meals. One friend had the falafel salad and thought it was delicious. Another friend had the falafel in a pita, and it was overflowing with goodness, and our other friend had a rice bowl with shrimp, and she could not believe how fresh everything tasted. While we were sitting there, we noticed quite a few orders going out for takeout. I'm just upset, I did not find out about this place sooner. read more

I use delivery for Pandemic Greek Salad with Gyro meat. They make it, some guy delivers it, I'm happy. Solid Greek food. I've never set foot in the place, maybe I should. Thanks Greek Cove. read more

Cute little takeout spot in Merrick! Two small salads; one with gyro meat and the other with grilled chicken.. HUGE portion.. side of fries were amazing, hot and crunchy.. tzatziki can use a little more flavoring.. spicy feta dip was a little lack luster .. nice warm pitas served with... this was a tremendous amount of food.. a small salad can definitely be split between 1-3 people depending on how hungry you are.. sides of meat come separate. Nothing was soggy since we ate there but this probably Will be soggy if you bring it home (is: fries and pita). Fairly priced, friendly staff... we sat inside and it was bustlin' by 330pm. I would revisit if I were in the area but won't go out of my way to drive there . read more

- for the next person that does not have change on them. . not one for reviews but this annoyed me. ordered 3 small Greek salads. on phone, guy said $45.19 - cash went inside to pick up w $45. didn't hear the man say .19 cents on phone. long day- end of day. I walk in w exact 45 (what I heard. so I can run in and out) but no. this guy has me running to car for the ridulous change. cmonnnn no one does that. it's 19 cents. Greek cove not goin bankrupt over the 19cents. there all the time. anyway ---- gave him a $1. told him keep the change. for the next person who forgets their "ten cents" little stuff like that - how u lose business. #commoncourtesy to the over paying New Yorker in all aspects of life read more

I love this place & get takeout often. I usually get the pork or chicken kebab skewers. The meat is always perfectly cooked & moist. My only complaint is they are super SLOW. I think they need more chefs for the amount of food they pump out! read more

I used to go to this place a lot. Their Greek food is excellent. The place is nice and bright. I have done both take out/dine in. When you used to dine in here, they would serve you your food on plates and bowls like any normal place. Now, instead of that, they give you EVERYTHING in a to go container as if you ordered take out. What is the point of having seating/option to dine in? It is LAZY. For example, if you order a greek salad with chicken. They give you the salad in a to go salad container. Chicken in a tin to go container, and the dressing in separate wrapped containers. You then yourself dump the salad, chicken onto a separate plate. When you have to dump the salad yourself , now all the topppings are all on the bottom. Dining out since COVID has gone up in price and when you expect to dine out you should differ the take out/dine out experience. It's very very lazy of the owner to be doing this I do love the food, but just because of this issue I will NOT be returning to dine in ever again. It has been like this for a year+ now. read more

Good customer service and large portion sizes. Convenient location. Unfortunately the food was just ok. The falafel were kind of grainy, and fell apart when bit into. They came in the same container as the lemon potatoes and they were sitting in that butter so they were very oily. I had to put them on a paper towel to soak up the butter. The lentil soup was not bad, just boring. Even the tadziki was bland! The potatoes were good. $28 for the falafel platter and small lentil soup was steep, too. I placed my order without having seen the restaurant... a mistake I think. It looks more like a small generic chain than an authentic Greek establishment. read more
