Disappointing they were out of multiple items one of which was the soup which does happen at end of business day. We initially called and they were out of soup so we asked if they were out of anything else...they said no. We said we'd call back and when we did, there were about 3 additional things they were out of. The falafel was overly spicy and drier than typical. The chicken gyros were just ok. I got the chicken kabobs and when I got home, they were burned black on one side and very dry. The cook turned them over and was probably happy it was for a to go customer who couldn't easily bring it back. No amount of sauce could account for the dryness. I could hardly cut the pieces with a knife. We did like the Greek salad dressing and there was more feta and olives than we typically see. Pita was black/burned on the back on every piece. Obviously the cooks don't care about providing quality food and seemed to have an attitude when the lady working the cash register was double checking the order. My husband has talked about going here so many times that we finally tried it and we don't plan to return. Believe Yelp reviews.... read more

Souvlaki Place - Burned chicken kabobs - Greek Near Me - Bayville, New York

It's in a beautiful location with parking, inside dining, and a beach view. The chicken gyro I got was the best I've ever had! It was filled with a generous amount of tzatziki which was perfectly made. You already know the tzatziki is what separates a good from a bad gyro. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Souvlaki Place - Chicken Gyro - Greek Near Me - Bayville, New York

I've been coming here since the 90's, and I can say it is just as good! When I think of Bayville, this is what I automatically think of. The gyro meat is cooked perfectly(and in abundance), the pita is soft, toppings fresh, the tzatziki is flowing and flavorful. Big plus, you can walk right outside to the beach, or down the road to play mini golf. So much good to say after all these years, how many places can you say that?!? read more

I came here over the long Memorial Day weekend with my family and we were seated immediately! It was a beautiful sunny day outside and the restaurant itself was bright, blue and decorated with Santorini photos. It really helped maintain the Greek ambiance! What I loved most about this restaurant was the many options it had. There were salads that were served with pita so they were still filling, sandwiches, platters, rice bowls, and more! The prices were also so reasonable and the quantity was huge. I got the small salad and it was super filling! I also liked that all the ingredients were fresh and made from whole foods. I could hear every crunch of lettuce from my salad and the pita was baked to perfection. I just wish the chicken was softer as it was cooked too much in my opinion. It was very dry but I still had a great overall experience! read more

My go to Souvlaki & Gyro place. Been going here since I'm a kid, don't ask how long. Oversized platters of food. Fresh, tasty and priced right. Worth the ride. A+++ read more

An unassuming snack bar/restaurant serves one of the best gyros around. Greek salad a must. And once the weather gets warmer top your lunch or dinner off with a scoop of cookies and cream or whatever flavor satisfies you. read more

Friendly lady answered the phone for takeout order...food was good...chicken kabobs were great! Highly recommend :)

We stumbled across this local gem while shopping next door at myknobs.com . We were pleasantly surprised with the portions and friendly service. The grilled chicken pita was seasoned very well. The fried shrimp pita was amazing. The tzaki sauce was flavorful. Crispy french fries as requested. The amount of fries in an order was huge. The owner was grateful for our business andf thanked us for choosing their establishment. The only negative was that the bathroom needed some attention to cleaning. read more

Very clean renovated space. They are following Covid protocols. They are looking for waitstaff so owner greeted us. Very pleasant person and he made sure we were happy with our meals while we ate. I got Gyro platter. It comes with an ample salad & dressing and rice. Denise got 3 piece chicken tenders. It came with sauce. Ordered a side of onion rings. Denise exclaimed about rings " excellent " so my guess is she really liked them. All food was fresh and looks appealing. . read more

Souvlaki Place - Hummus, falafel, dolma, Mediterranean salad large - Greek Near Me - Bayville, New York

Three stars for their service, it is so hard to order over the phone because THEY NEVER PICK UP THE PHONE. Dont bother ordering from their Square website either, hasn't been updated and says everything is out of stock including Greek salad and gyro sandwich. Four stars for food if you get it in a timely manner. read more

Bayville has been one of my favorite places to visit and lounge at the beach while eating a Greek Gyro from Souvlaki Place across the street. This restaurant has been at its location for years. Their website states that they have been in business for forty-six years, although some people tell me they believe it's been there longer. Since I have enjoyed the Mediterranean on many of my travels, I find similarities of the water front of Bayville to those of the Greek Islands. So it's fitting to have Souvlaki Place right across the waterfront serving many residents and tourists that venture to this wonderful town. For the many times that I have eaten at Souvlaki Place, I have only ordered their Gyro or Souvlaki pita sandwich. I am sure that their homemade Spinach Pie and Baklava are probably awesome also. The restaurant recently renovating its entire dining room and exterior. What I found new was that they provided an Ice-cream station that providing most of the popular flavors. I can finally say I ordered something different at Souvlaki Place read more

My wife and I had lunch here yesterday and the service was good. We ordered two Gyro Platters (Lamb and Chicken) and they were excellent. They gave us more than enough, so we brought the rest home and we had it the next day (today). We recommend this place to everyone. (I rate this place (5 star).***** read more

Its YUM! Pure YUM!! I love the food here. Its fresh, its delicious, it's quick, and the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean! You really can't ask for anything better! Little local place across the street from the beach, I'm sure in the summer is a gold mine! The only downside is that they are a little pricey, but who is in theaters. And the portion size is huge, which means a lot. I try to order from this place at least once a month!! read more

Went here for lunch today after a morning kayaking nearby. With a good appetite my friend I we pleasantly treated to a wonderful lunch. I ordered the gyro sandwich with fries on the side. Some greek restaurants very often cheap out on the protein they give you, whether that be lamb, pork or chicken. Not today at the Souvlaki Place!!! My Gyro had generous cuts of lamb and tzatziki sauce!! Their fries are also fantastic, seasoned & crispy, just how I love them. I would add one last comment about eating here during the COVID period. I was here a month ago before indoor dining was available. We were so happy they were open that day and we were able to get food to go. Today we ate inside. It was very clean & we felt very safe & comfortable eating inside the main dining area. I can't wait to go back. read more

Love the souvlaki place. I've been going there for many many years. Always a great place to go In Bayville. Although the last time I went there it was closed, and this was always open. But otherwise it's a MUST if you are in Bayville. read more

Just ate here for the first time tonight after my in laws raved about it (they grew up in Oyster Bay). The food is delicious and the portions are large and reasonably priced. The owner is the sweetest guy. I don't know how he doesn't have people lined up out the door. Definitely a must when in Bayville! read more

Stop what you're doing right now load everybody up you need to go to this place now. I travel for work and I've ate at a lot of different restaurants. You have not had this level of delicious when it comes to Greek food. Let's get the bad stuff out-of-the-way. They're not open 24 seven. Now everything great about this place. The food beyond belief, the owners magnificent, the chefs magnificent, The servers magnificent, the environment cannot be matched. Are you still there why are you not here eating. Whether you're traveling 1 mile or 10000 miles this stop is a must. I don't know the next time I will be in New York but I can guarantee I will be eating here. read more

To be young again! Bayville for me brings back such wonderful memories. My first management job, my first arcade and of course my first gyro. I didn't know it then but lamb meat is excellent! "Souvlaki" was this run down restaurant we would hang out at and eat food. To my surprise all these years later, this place got a serious upgrade. First off the place has wonderful lighting courtesy of the natural sunlight from the outside and large windows. The first thing I noticed was the digital menu board above. I was amazed with how beautiful it was. It all came together, the nice clean floors, the rustic blue counters, the open space concept, along with comfortable seating made for a pleasant visit. When I ordered, I also talked to the employee for a couple of minutes, he was friendly. Forgot your wallet? No sweat, they allow you to pay with your phone (welcome to the 21 century)! It's easy to pay and go now. I got my food and sat down to eat. Everything changed, because the food was great. I loved the gyro. I even asked him for extra yogurt sauce for my meat and he gave it to me free of charge. This place is perfect if you want to visit this small beach town. I hope you enjoy, because I will definitely be back for my new best friend............ "The Gyro!" read more

BEST spinach pie EVER!!! The Greek Dressing is so tasty! Well worth the 30 minute drive! read more

This place is not at all a fancy one; however, looks aren't everything. The food was amazingly delicious - cooked to perfection and the portions were very impressive. There didn't appear to be any waitress/waiter service as we placed our orders at the register then sat at a table and waited for our food to be freshly made. Since we were a party of 6, the manager wanted to make sure we were all served at the same time; so, when everything was ready, the food was then brought out to us by one of the staff members. Over-all, If you're looking for great Greek food (and I might add at a reasonable price), I highly recommend this place. read more

I have been going to this place since the original owner. Food has been consistently good; that's not my issue with the place. I have gone during the winter, when the new owner struggles, and have continued during the pandemic to give them some business. I went last week, during the week; got there to get food and watch the sunset. The girl working there tells me... "They have a strict policy on orders before closing" Since when?, you mean you don't want the money? There is no one walking around town, no business... THEY REFUSED TO SERVE ME The new owner is in the back, preparing take out orders... THEY REFUSED TO SERVE ME That's what the new owner thinks about customers. It's not like serving me would of started a line of customers, there is no one there.. I WILL NEVER GO BACK IN THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN AND I hope most of you reading this will avoid it as well. NOT GOOD read more

When I started coming to Bayville 2 years ago I stumbled across this place and was so happy to have a greek restaurant close to home. The food was great and the customer service was exceptional. UNFORTUNATELY, things never stay the same, do they? Over time I have noticed that the quality of the food has really gone down hill and the service isn't great either. For the last year they haven't gotten an order right once. Today, for convenience, purposes, only, I decided to order takeout for me and my father on the way home from work. I ordered two gyros, one without onion, and a side of fries. When I got there, the order came out to be close to $34. I understand the price of food has gone up, but 2 gyros and a side of fries $34, seriously? There's a place in Melville you can go to and get the exact same order for $24. Anyway, I digress. When I got the order home the first thing I noticed was, they made both sandwiches without onion. My father's sandwich was hot and to his liking, mine barely had any type Zieke sauce on it, a good portion of me that seem to be over, cooked and dry, tomatoes, no onions, which is not what I asked for. On top of that my pita was wet and soggy, and the french fries were cold, over cooked, dry, and tasteless. They were so old and off colored. I actually thought they were sweet potato fries. They were horrible. I brought my sandwich back to them and requested they remake it because at this point just adding onion was like I saw the fact that the meat was overcooked, and the pita at this point was just soggy and a mess. They weren't happy about remaking it, but they did and all, though the pita was still soggy, the meat tasted fresh and juicy and had tomato onion, and tzatziki sauce. Just now, in my emails I noticed a second receipt. They charge my card for a third sandwich without telling me. Talk about GREED! Not only will I be disputing this charge with my bank tomorrow, but they have lost a customer for life. I will never recommend this place, I will never send people there, and I most certainly will never order food from them ever again. The food is terrible. The service is terrible and I can think of much better Greek restaurants to go to slightly outside area.. if I can give this place zero stars I would. The absolute worst of the worst. You don't have to be the best restaurant, but you can admit when you screw up an order and do what you can to make the customer happy. They have no customer relation or customer service capabilities here. read more

Nice small Greek restaurant. The BBQ wings were quite tasty. As for the chicken nuggets do not get the hot sauce in it, it might be too hot for you. If you are using the bathroom, is right by the candy machine, make a right. The ice creams are pretty big with 3 scoops, is kind of too much for one person. The beach is right in front of this place. read more

Souvlaki Place - Chicken Kabob Caesar Feta. - Greek Near Me - Bayville, New York

Surprisingly the food here is very good , it's not fancy at all , very simple and excellent prices . I've been here several times and I've always been very happy with the food ,prices and service . The burgers are delicious and juicy , the souvlaki platter is also very good , the salads are delicious , the rice pudding is homemade and amazing and the coconut ice is to die for , idk what they do differently but it's the best coconut ice I've ever had in my life !! My only complaint ( why I gave four stars and not five ) is that the employees clean the tables with Windex while your eating and personally the smell of windex or any cleaning products is not exactly what I want to smell while I'm eating , Im happy they are clean but just don't do it while the customers are eating!!! read more

I live down the road and have been eating here for years! The have a new owner now so I wanted to try and see how it is now and I have nothing but good things to say. The new owner is so pleasant and kind. The food was so great and the owner made sure to check on us and make sure everything was good. He went above and beyond to make it a all around great experience. I HIGHLY recommend eating here!!! read more

Super surprising. Really reasonable price for a fulfilling and delicious meal. I really liked the ranch chicken cutlet bacon sandwich. Also every classic Greek item you'd expect is equally good as you would hope for. Definitely worth stopping by. They have icecream too! read more

Good people, great food! Ordered the Chicken Gyro, Rice, Side Salad, tzatziki sauce, pitas, and baklava. The baklava is especially fantastic! Clearly a popular place, there was a little bit of a wait, but the food was well worth the wait! read more

The cheeseburger and curly fries is very very good, the fried shrimp is amazing as well! Very good quality food! Highly recommend!

The absolute best ever souvlaki!! I've been coming here since I've been a kid and I must tell you Even though it has gone through a few owners it has never NEVER changed it's quality !! Grab one with white sauce or red sauce Then go sit on the beach and savor every bite you take This is truly that good It's hard to believe that it has kept up its quality For this many years and this many owners They must demand each owner takes on the same recipe and buy the same meat. If you sit inside and watch that people come from all around Long Island to take out --pick up their bag of this delight read more

This short review is for the ice cream and cookie dough milkshake. The prices are good. For a nice size, small ice cream and large milkshake it only cost me $7.88. Not bad for a night dessert. The place is clean and the employees are extremely friendly and can hold an engaging conversation. read more

What happened to their pita pockets gyros. It's been more than a year and they keep saying their supplier is out of them. How about getting a new supplier? The chain supply excuse is old now. How about telling the truth that it's an item you prefer not to sell anymore. I used go there just for those style gyros. Now I don't need to make the trip. You're overpriced to begin with but the pita pocket gyros were a nice novelty no one else that I know offered. What a shame. read more

This seems to be a popular place to eat at, for it to be after 10:00pm when my friends and I arrived there was a pretty big crowd. I ordered the pizza fries which cost around $5.00 and my friend order hot wings and cheese fries cost around $7.00. I have to say the pizza fries were quite good, you have tell the sauce is homemade and fresh. Also the mozzarella cheese was fresh. The hot wings were good and crunchy, the place seems to be know for there gyros and ice cream. Even though it was late October, the weather was still nice and several people were ordering ice cream cones. They offer several different favors as well as sundaes. The staff was were nice and engaging with the customers, the wait time for your food wasn't very long. Roughly 5 to 10 minutes. I hope to come out this way again when the weather is warmer. read more

I wanna like this place as I enjoy eating Greek food and this restaurant is conveniently located with a great view of the Long Island Sound just across the street. I thought I'd give the place another try as I saw the sign that the restaurant is "under new management and newly renovated." This is repeated on their current menus. I ordered an open-faced gyro sandwich ($6.95) and waited at a table for at least 10 minutes before they delivered it to me. Unfortunately, I found the meat to be tasteless. Better choices are Andros Grill in Glen Cove (Glen Street) and Pita Station in Glen Head near the LIRR. read more
