YIKES!!! I stopped in for a tuna on rye toast and as I was drinking my water, a cockroach went scurrying across the table! How BAD is the roach problem if they are hanging out in your dining area?? Obviously, I left in a hurry and checked my bag to make sure I didn't bring one with me back home! I had to give one star to write review. read more

Decided to order from spiros thinking it was a nice change from pizza/sushi I usually get, what a terrible mistake. I live within walking distance of this garbage dump, and yet delivery still took over an hour. If it wasn't filled with decaying wood inside maybe Id eat in. Ordered the chicken parm, food was terribly burnt and oversalted. Nothing "authentic" or "greek" about any of their menu items Will not be eating here again. read more

I always walk by this restaurant and finally decided to give it a try. It was about 2:30pm and not many people there which is nice since we didn't have to wait for a table. I ordered the french toast with sausage and my bf ordered the gyro platter. The french toast was good but nothing spectacular that you can't get anywhere else. The gyro platter was really good. It also comes with awesome fries. Something about the fries are REALLY GOOD! I like that breakfast is all day long, sometimes you just get that crazing so it's nice to have somewhere nearby to go to. I'll come back again and check out their other food options. read more

Ordered a cheeseburger deluxe the food was warm not even hot .the worst part is I ordered it to stay. Lack of service the grilled chicken wrap came out soggy read more

Funny thing is that I grew up in the neighborhood (moved away 25 years ago, but my mom still lives nearby), and never went to Spiros until recently. Food is quite good for coffee shop fare. Delicious omelette (egg white, bacon, swiss cheese, onions and mushrooms) and fries. Fries were addictive. Mom and sis had the brisket that was lean but very soft and flavorful. Excellent cheesecake. Service is very friendly and attentive (thank you Maria and Tony). Cash only. Restaurant is clean and well maintained (received an "A" rating). read more

Spiro's been around for many years, and I've been a customer for more years than I care to say. It is what it is, good quality food at a reasonable price, always fresh, always reliable, always there. I am actually grateful and thankful Spiro's managed to hang on all these years while other long standing, big name diners and restaurants all around them closed their doors for good. Spiro's is always there, always dependable. read more

Honestly I recommend them for a great value breakfast and simple meals the rest of the day the big mess omelette is my favorite the food will not win the raves but the old fashioned comfy atmosphere will. I got hit hard by Sandy and going in there after a night volunteering at the shelters or going in the mornings from my house without heat the place just felt like a big hug the older gentleman there chipped in when his staff could not get to work and he was just wonderful sweat people and friendly regulars wish I had the time to have breakfast there everyday read more

Spiro's is a quiet little diner with good food and great service. Their portions are plentiful and the value is good. They open early but they also close at 8pm. Its not a place for late night eats which is a shame, since the area is sorely missing late night dining for those of us who work long hours and don't get home until pretty late. read more

The food from here is soooo good. Typical diner prices. They take a little long to deliver the food but I'll wait it out for the yummness!

I have been eating here for 15 years, and have found the food to be superb. The Brisket is tasty and very tender. The Chicken Marsala and Franchese rival the best Italian Restaurant. The portions are plentiful, while the prices are reasonable The servers are very friendly For Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, you can't go wrong I call SPIRO'S the CHEERS of AVENUE U. read more

The food is homemade and delicious. Most of the time they make you feel welcome. The service is lacking, but I recommend the food.

Consistently average. Not bad, not great. The service is fast, the place is tiny, the portions are smallish when considering its diner style. And they don't take credit cards. I come here once in a blue moon. read more

Awful experience. Ruined a family meal with flavorless undercooked food. Worst of all waiter complained about washing dishes directly to us. Dont know how this place still exists. Sad for the neighborhood its in. read more

$5.99 for an individual orange juice box that is crazy!! This food is so expensive and just not worth it . We only order from this place when we are at our lowest lows of a hangover and do not want to stand in front of a stove. Bacon egg n cheese sandwich has 2 slices of cheap hard bacon and you are left asking, why is life so hard? Save your money and just eat your shoe .. read more

Nice old school type dinner. Everything I have had is good. They also deliver fast.

Classic diner. Don't expect the four star dinning, but it's great for an old school diner.

I've ordered from here a few times and food was decent, but today I placed a phone order for pick up and when I got there I was hoping for my order to be correct. okay so when I got home and opened my meal, it was not what I ordered...totally nothing that I wanted, I don't know how they could have made this mistake, aren't you supposed to be knowing what you're giving out to the customers. when I got home I was very upset! and the food I got was burnt! read more

Not so great, better off looking for some place else. Food was bland, waiter messed up on bill, overcharged me $10. Bathroom tiny and dirty. read more

Disappointed to say the least. Have had breakfast sandwiches twice in the past month and they were good. First time ordering dinner so here goes.......twin cheeseburger platter was tastless no seasoning whatsoever on burgers and not char broiled either. Tasteless!!! Fries were crispy and good but lettuce and tomato were worthless. Very overpriced and not worth it!!!! Greek salad was very wet and tomatoes were disgusting and over ripe. Salad was mostly lettuce with a couple of pieces of cucumber, tomatoe and 2 grape leaves, no dressing because they forgot to put it in the bag! Now for the side order of home fries, old and from the morning was mainly small pieces of broken potatoes, no onions and was basically tasteless chopped potatoes. Chicken gryo was half way decent. All in all a bad experience, overpriced food not good at all......will NEVER order again nor will I ever recommend to a freind or neighbor. read more

A nice diner place near my neighborhood, pretty decent service. The place has an old-schoolsque feeling to it. Came here with my girlfriend for a casual date, she ordered the mushroom burger and I got cheeseburger deluxe. It was an OK meal, my GF said the mushroom burger was good though. Paid around 20 total. read more

This place is mediocre to say the least. If you come here, keep expectations low and fingers crossed. It's Momsy and Popsy and usually filled with regulars who have frequented the place since which seems like the 1950's. It's ok for the regular bacon and eggs, but for any meal requiring any knowledge of culinary artistry, consider a different restaurant. So don't go in asking for avocado toast and an expresso double shot, because that; on a basic level is too difficult. The last time I visited, I was sat at a table next to a guy that looked like a war vet. He kept cursing and belching really loud. He was chatty with the manager and staff so it appeared that he was like family. And they wouldn't dare kick out family! This experience was like the other two experiences except, now, they've fired the old manager who used to yell at customers for no reason. On the upside, I asked for something off of the menu and they were able to prepare it like asked. The only reason I come here is because it's extremely close to my house and sometimes I don't want to make breakfast on Saturdays. OMG! Am I now becoming a regular? read more

My first time ordering. Turkey burger was like putting a frozen burger in the microwave. It ended up in the trash!! My friend ordered fresh turkey and we were told the mash potatoes were FRESH, they are *****NOT****** .. turkey was good. pickles were good.. Delivery person was very nice. read more

Placed a phone order for delivery in the early afternoon, they said it would take an hour. Waited an hour and half no delivery so we called. They said it was out and on the way. They are less than 10 minutes away so we called again after an hour and 45 minutes. They said be patient, it's the weather, we're busy, wait a few more minutes. It was not raining hard, the weather was not a problem. Anyway after way over 2 hours and still no delivery we cancelled the order. We've ordered from them before, it's never been fast delivery but nothing like this nonsense. If there's a problem taking a delivery order say so, don't leave your customers hanging and say it's on the way when it's obviously not. read more

Great Dinner. Stella our waitress for breakfast was amazing. The food was great. Reminds me of an old time deli. Thanks will be back.

Ordered a fairly simple meal. Waited for 30 minutes before I hear the waiter call out my order to the kitchen. Forty minutes after first ordering the appetizer comes out, except instead of the chicken fingers I ordered it's mozzarella sticks. He takes the mozzarella sticks back and in the meantime the entrees come out, meaning I had to cancel the apps. Food was ok: deli quality. read more

This place is the worst. The guy answering the phone has no business on a phone or talking to any human being as he cannot be on the phone more than five seconds. I ordered a simple breakfast of French toast, eggs over easy, extra bacon and sausage. I received undercooked French toast,overcooked eggs, three strips of bacon cooked last week and ham. No sausage. When I called to tell him I got ham but no sausage he said let me check it out and hung up the phone. I called back five minutes later to see what was going on he said he would send the sausage. About 15 minutes later the guy shows up at the door with 1 overcooked, burnt sausage link with a huge black hole in it. I will never order from here again. Disgusting. read more

Was the only place around to deliver at 9 AM in the morning. That by itself worth a 5-star when you're dying from hunger and your fridge is empty. Especially when they bring you delicious portion of shepherd salad and gigantic bread. And I forgot about the place until last Sunday me and my better half decided to go out. When we saw the place that saved us from starving we decided to go in. Wow! What a nice service! What a generous pieces of feta cheese on our shepherd salad! My wife loves cheese. I don't know who told them that. Grape vinegar and olive oil was such a good quality I wanted to steal them. Greek specialties are finger lickingly delicious. Even French fries are piece of art. Not those greasy fries made of cheap potato that I'm usually served. Triple decker is classic. At least that's what my wife told me. I was enjoying my Greek Beef specialty on a platter and couldn't care less about triple decker. My cup of coffee was always being filled by tender waiter. Couple words about the interior. Seats are so comfortable you don't want to leave, place is so warm and nice you can't resist your coming back. Employees are so attentive and nice you will tip more than you usually do. read more

I come here for the soups, they are very delicious and good portions. Now that the cold weather is upon us you should try them.

Loovvvve this diner. Wouldn't change them for the world. Ive been coming here for about 8 years and love it every time. They always remember the way I love my eggs and the side of Mayo, without me asking. Best chicken marsala too read more

It's important to note, as a previous reviewer did, that this place is cash only. *Now accept credit cards* With that out of the way, the food here was great. I love the burgers and fries *quality of fries took a hit, they stopped double frying them I think..*, I like to get it medium and they do a great job of cooking it the way I like it. My boyfriend really loved the Reuben sandwich, the cheese, meat and sauerkraut were melted onto the toast and looked really good. We come here almost every week, sometimes by ourselves, sometimes with our friends for a quick and casual meal. Our order is always correct and comes out pretty quickly. read more
