FIX YOUR TAP WATER PLEASE! It tastes like metal and sewage. God how have they not fixed this by now. read more

Great breakfast! The menu has all the breakfast classics and the home fries are a real treat. The staff is friendly. Nothing too fancy here - just good food at a reasonable price. read more

Your normal average cafe in the heart of the Hamptons. This is one of the last reasonable spots out in the hamptons. They have limited space and make the most of it. This translates to very little leg room. The food is good when it comes hot. The Healthy omelette is a good choice here. The service here is good. They take care of you here. This place is nothing special (which is why people like it). What you pay for is what you get. read more

Smaller diner esque "greek restaurant" that offers some classic diner staples such as pancakes and eggs. Came here on a Thursday and the place was really packed, service was friendly but super slow for coming to a place with a handful of tables at 1pm. Ordered the avocado toast with eggs and it was worse than the avocado toast I prepare at home for around $18 dollars. Toast is literally on whole wheat wonder bread, avocado was hacked and not completely ripe, eggs were wet which made the toast soggy. Underdressed side "salad" which was just arugula and tomatoes. Overall not worth the wait or the visit here despite the many reviews on google. read more

Beware of foreign substances in your food! Tucking into a soft gyro and soft French fries and bit down on bone or something hard. Cracked my lower molar. Instead of making sure I was ok (in searing pain) the waitress kept demanding I show her the hard bit in my chewed up food on the napkin. She said she couldn't find anything and the cook couldn't find anything. Quite frankly I don't care. No customer service or care from them at all. And I'm looking at a $5,000 dental bill. I've been a customer since they opened in the 90sb so I don't enjoy posting this review At this point it's a safety issue AT NO POINT DID ANYONE SAY WE DIDN"T FIND ANYTHING BUT WE"RE TAKING IT OFF THE MENU TO INVESTIGATE. read more

I came in with my service animal and this woman was an absolute wretch of a person and wouldn't allow us to be seated. She kept demanding an ID card, which I tried to educate her that service animals are not required to have an ID under the ADA and told her what she could ask and she still refused us seating. I've went ahead and attached some photos for her reference so maybe she can educate herself and not treat another person the same way she treated me. Terrible service. read more

Our waiter was very sweet and the prices were reasonable enough for the Hamptons. The food was classic diner food. I like the Parthenon omelette but it wasn't anything special. The muffins were decent and the interior was clean but dated. We came at 9:15 on a Sunday and had no wait but it definitely picked up by 10. read more

John Papas Cafe - Parthenon Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - East Hampton, New York

Food was just... WOW! The specials were amazing! We had Chopp steak and it was perfectly cooked! The mozzarella sticks were stretchy and crispy, garlic bread was perfect, and the salad with the Feta cheese was just splendid! The ambiance is great by its classic looks and service was just like we expected. I would come back anytime read more

I had a great breakfast at John Papas Cafe. The food was great (I had the Parthenon omelette: yum!), service friendly and efficient. But it was the Saturday ambiance: happy families, tables of friends. Smiling well fed folks, lively conversations. It made my day. read more

We thought it was good. Upscale diner with nice selection of food at different prices. Service was great. Ambiance is what it is. I'd go back. read more

Great food, fast service, welcoming staff. Always know it's going to be consistent and reliable.

Great soups! I love the down home coziness to this diner style cafe in an upscale town. My favorite soup is the Lentil.

The chicken souvlaki lacked taste. Service was great. The place was great, but the chicken souvlaki lacked taste

I ordered here today for lunch and ordered the buffalo wings with celery, they forgot to add the celery sticks to my delivery and when I called the lady who answered started laughing. Then I said well I paid $20 for my order ; tax /delivery/tip and she then says not her problem. Very rude indeed. Then she starts speaking in Spanish to one of her co workers saying opps I forgot but we are not going to do anything. Not ordering delivery here again. The wings were eh. read more

If I could give it zero stars I would. A place that was once a staple in this great town my husband grew up is no longer. The food was beyond grotesque. The food was all salt and the presentation was laughable. Service was silly, that waitress needs to be in her junior high school class and not pretending to know what she's doing as she is absolutely clueless and needs to learn how to smile. Sadly we will NEVER return. read more

A nice relaxing time at John Papas. The food is comfort and they offer consistent options. The service is better than average. You're made to feel welcome and that keeps bringing back the regular clientele. read more

A Greek Cafe? Nah. I ordered Chicken Souvlaki and got a Chicken Gyro instead. The Hummus looked and tasted like it came from a supermarket container. The Tzatziki, the same. Oh well, shame on me. I'll know better next time. read more

One of my all time favorite spots to take friends out to eat. Prices are reasonable. Lots of choices and food is always fresh and delicious. A bit crowed at times and loud but service is always excellent! read more

We had a great breakfast this morning at John Papas Cafe. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, and coffee were delicious. Cozy, comfortable booth. Great service. Just discovered this gem and will return soon and often. read more

Love My friend and I wanted a quick lunch and that's exactly what we got! We were recommended to come here and it didn't disappoint, BEST LUNCH EVER!! I would highly recommend the quesadillas and French fries. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Good solid diner, good breakfast. Nice staff, consistent food, reasonably priced especially for the east end.

Just had the worst expirience at this restaurant the service was horrible and very unprofessional at the least! I ordered a dish which had ingredients that I could not consume because of my vegan diet that were not listed on the menu and when this brought to the attention of the server who was pretty much taking orders from every table in the restaurant her response and the response of the women behind the bar was that "they are not a vegan restaurant and we don't serve vegan food here " although I did not take one bite of the food they still made us pay for it. read more

We walked in at 845. No one was there, they close at 900. The place was empty and the woman said they were closing. I asked if they would mine giving us an espresso. The woman at the counter said no problem. When I asked how much she said it is on us. The next day we went back for breakfast. It was great. My wife got eggs Benedict and I had a fried egg sandwich. The food was great the service was awesome. read more

I go in for an Eggs Benedict or a salad from time to time, not bad, good service, decent prices, always clean.

This place was awesome! All of us loved what we ordered, from burgers to eggs Benedict to omelets with avo and swiss. The place was friendly, reasonable and the least pretentious place we went in the Hamptons! Fun! read more

Stopped here on my drive home from the hamptons. There was no wait for a table which was nice but I ordered eggs Benedict and the eggs were undercooked (white part of egg just as runny as the yolk) so I sent it back. Then I get a new plate where the eggs are soft boiled, which was a bit disappointing. The potatoes were flavorless which was upsetting. Food is cheap and staff are friendly though! read more

The best breakfast in East Hampton, hands down! John Papas Cafe is your traditional coffee shop of old, (which I find refreshing), with an extensive breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, and best of all, great coffee always served hot. I am a regular for breakfast, but recently decided to try their dinner menu and nightly specials. I knew my dinner would be good, but I was surprised at how delicious my broiled sole was, as well as my friends scaloppine dish, terrific! Both were served with soup or salad, fresh vegetables and hot crispy garlic bread. All for a more than reasonable price. The owners and wait staff are terrific people and are always welcoming and appreciative of your business. A real East Hampton gem! read more

I've been coming to John Papa's for a long time and the food is good. It is a bit on the pricey side but it's where we live. I really like the new owner as before he bought it he was a chef/waiter. A really nice guy and he always welcomes me when I come in if he is working. All of the waitstaff are nice and helpful. It's a staple in East Hampton for the local spot and for the summer people that come to visit. The seating area is ok. I like to get a booth. All in all it's a good place to meet friends or grab lunch or dinner and as a win breakfast is served all day. read more

the food is excellent when it is made correctly. we placed a large order of 5 salads and requested specific omissions (ex. no tomato) and all orders were made incorrectly. hesitantly, we did not want to mention this to the business but since we order almost daily from this location - thought it would be worth to mention to management. woman at counter said that she is the manager and insisted that she did not make any mistake and denied the feedback several times - for spending $70 on a group order, I do not think this was right at all. she did not acknowledge or apologize and insisted that we placed order incorrectly on the phone, even though we had repeated order 3 times despite being rushed off of the phone. Disappointing, but probably not the best place for group orders, dining in is great. read more

Love to come here when in town for a great breakfast. One of the old businesses that have survived the outdoor mall that East Hampton has become. You will not be disappointed. read more

Crazy waitress harasses customers for tips and kept telling us to be quiet. I've never been to a restaurant where I was hushed and lectured on tipping by a waitress/waiter. read more

So surprised about the rating! I love John Papa's! Being born and raised in East Hampton, this place is literally my childhood. After dance recitals I'd celebrate with their chicken marsala or when I went on a breakfast date I'd come here with my boyfriend before school started. When I was working in town this is where I'd pick up lunch, whether it was Spinach Pie, Fried fish on pita with tzatziki or just a simple greek salad (simple yet delicious). Their greek based diner menu isn't as large as princess nor hampton bays diner but the flavor and consistency is far superior. So yeah John Papas = Bomb. read more

Place was good. We had a bowl of lentil soup and split a pastrami Ruben with sweet potato fries. Service was good, food was good. Not sure why the 3.5 rating. This place is great if you're looking for a dinner style meal for lunch or breakfast. read more

I've been going to this Village staple for decades, as it is one of the few down to earth eateries in East Hampton. The breakfasts are great, with the usual assortment of eggs, pancakes and waffles. Their feta omelet is a real New York diner fave. Lunches include many Greek style dishes including gyros, Greek salads etc. the shrimp gyro andGreek Salad with grilled shrimp are terrific. Burgers, sandwiches etc. are well prepared and there are milk shakes, egg creams and other sweet treats. Papas does a roaring business and one often has to wait for a table, but well worth it. Service is always great despite the busy atmosphere. Prices are not super cheap, but worth the quality of the food. read more

John Papas Cafe - Greek Salad with grilled shrimp - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - East Hampton, New York

This place is the only affordable diner that I can think of in the Hamptons. It's your classic no frills spot to get a good hearty omelette, belgian waffle, or other breakfast fare. The wait staff is very hospitable and the portions are good. Love bringing people here who are in town to visit. I hope this place doesn't change, since it is so down to earth and not caught up in the Hamptons glitz! My go-to is the western omelette, which comes with a very hearty amount of home fries and toast. read more

We were lucky to sneak in during the rush. We were served quickly, considering how crowded it was. The food was delicious, and the staff was very courteous. read more

Sometimes the restaurants in the Hamptons are waaay to fancy and serve dishes that are too extravagant- and you just need something very simple and filling to eat - then this place is for you. It's a small mom and pop dinner next to the parking lot. Warm and friendly waitress and host. They have dinner specials as well - and I had the Chicken Prosciutto - and it was very good. read more

Old fashioned diner food with East Hampton prices. Not cheap but good food. Be prepared to wait. Service is lacking. Don't go out of your way. Omelets were good. Get a ticket for your car to park. A bit strange because you don't need them to leave. WHAT! That's it. read more
