The BEST feta cheese omelette I ever had! Just the right amount of cheese and it was melted perfectly. Bacon was delicious. I cant believe I have lived 3 blocks from here for 7 months and have only just come here. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and caring. Will be back often! read more

The Greeks - Renovating The Greeks with Ty Pennington - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kearny, New Jersey

I go to the school next to this and I go every day and the food is amazing and they all treat us like family I love going here.

Have been meaning to come here since I saw it in TV and wish I had come in sooner. Even though they never met me before I felt like family. I sat at the counter and talked to the owner and watched him work. It got busy but he kept calm and I could feel the love in cooking. I had a cheesesteak and fries and both were great. If you are looking for a friendly place to get a quick but tasty lunch then head on over and sit at the counter. read more

Fries, fries, fries! All about the fries! Love the gyros and burgers but the fries have me coming back all the time

Stumbled upon this place with my best friend. Long story short, stove is bad and is in the process of getting replaced so my friend and I came here for some breakfast. I was amazed to find this on Yelp only a BLOCK away from me! So we came here and ordered our breakfast to go. Everyone here was really nice and the food was great!! Even the coffee was awesome!! Needless to say I'll be back! Only thing I would change is payment. You gotta pay cash. I'm a card girl...-.-" read more

Old School diner great food great hosts! We were on way to Red Bull's soccer game and found this place on yelp. The reviews don't lie!! This place rocks, we had salads, burgers, sandwiches etc, all of it was fresh and tasty. Burgers rocked, salads were crisp, sandwiches were piled high with some tasty meat. The owner rocks! Recognized it was our first time there, I was watching him cook the hash browns and told him they looked great but we were in lunch mode. What's he do? Sends over a plateful for us to taste and they tasted better than they looked. Class act, great food, a MUST for us when we are down that way. read more

Back again. Love this place. Food and service is great.people are friendly here. Nice place to come to eat or have coffee and BS with friends and staff. read more

Delicious breakfast food, large portions, and from what I read, always entertaining conversation. The kind of place you go, where everybody knows your name. Except us, we're from out of town. LOL. read more

Are you kidding me a BLT with 2 pieces of Bacon folded over it's a dinner they have plenty of bacon really this is where you choose to be cheap NOT COOL read more

Freshly transplanted in New Jersey, we decided we wanted to eat breakfast/brunch where the locals flock. The Greeks did not disappoint. We will be returning to this little gem of an eatery. Will most likely will be become a family favorite. read more

My husband just brought me home a taylor ham & cheese sandwich and omg!! Hands Down the BEST in Jersey. I've also had the Greek Omelet from here and it was delicious (and hugh). The people there are wonderful and so friendly. We travel from Maplewood to go here and it's definitely worth it. Love you guys, you're awesome! read more

I only had a grilled cheese.. but it was a damn good grilled cheese. The Greek fries are amazing and my fiancé said his burger was juicy and delicious! We will be visiting again. read more

One of the friendliest places I have ever been to with great food. I would definitely recommend eating here. I would also say to get the Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich. It is huge and hands down the best breakfast sandwich around. read more

Best Taylor ham and cheese around. My kids swear by John's French toast (don't tell Grandma). Coffee is legit! Everything served made to order & hot. Must do for breakfast or lunch to take in the glory that is "Food with Attitude" read more

The greeks is a great place to good for breakfast or lunch. The atmosphere is awesome. You walk in feeling like you are family. Definitely a town staple! Best coffee in town hands down! read more

I went out of my way to check out this nondescript "hole in the wall" on Saturday, around Noon. And I'm glad I did. My son had a grilled cheese sandwich, which is pretty hard to mess up. I ordered the Elm Street Burger w/cheddar & chili, medium rare. It came out exactly as ordered, the chili tasted homemade, along with a side of their renowned home fries, ordered well done, of course. No complaints here. The burger was huge & juicy, served on a toasted bun, but for $7.95 it came with a lonely pickle spear -- no slaw, or garnish. I gabbed with the owner for a few minutes. He was friendly & outgoing. I think he appreciated seeing a "new customer"... on a quiet Saturday afternoon. While we were there, a couple of local "characters" rolled in -- one an obvious regular (old timer), and the other a middle aged lady who sounded like a long haul driver -- to eat and schmooze with the boss. I'm sure these folks were status quo for Downtown Kearny, but I got a kick out of them, anyway. The decor was undistinguished, and the place lacked anything resembling "atmosphere." But it's not that easy to find a decent "greasy spoon" anymore. I would go back to this place in a heartbeat; but I wouldn't waste too much gas getting there. read more

Nothing special about this place. NJ has most diners in the world. It's just standard diner food. Greasy spoon menu. You know what your getting and it's good filling food. read more

For breakfast platters this is THE PLACE to go! You walk in and you are greeted right away. I hate that they close so early. Being a teacher, I don't get back into kearny until at least 3:30 and I don't want to be that person who walks in at closing time and orders food. Whenever I get a chance on the weekends, I like to go here for breakfast. Their omelets are huge and they fill the other half of the plate with the best home fries you will every taste. Everything is always fresh. Their lunch items are on point too. If you are in the area you HAVE to try the Greeks!!! read more

One of the best kept secrets. I've driven past this place hundreds of times over the years but never stopped in. Truly my mistake. I can't see how anyone could give the Greeks less than 4 Stars. The food is excellent; good quality; home cooking at it's best. It's your local "divey, hole in the wall, hometown place to go" (and Divey in my opinion is a term of endearment). Everyone is friendly; it's my new go to place in the mornings. So if you're looking for a very good meal; reasonably priced and is consistent in quality, taste, etc....this is place. When you stop in, say hello to John and tell him Dennis sent you! read more

I freaking love this place. The employees are always sweet and hilarious. The jokes they make are always having me dead af. This place is like home and that's how you should make a restaurant or take out be like. read more

Great food, even better company. John cooks and chats with everyone. You leave feeling like a regular.

Kearny's best kept secret! It was our first time there and we were pleasantly surprised! Everything from the setting, to the food, to the owner - everything is enjoyable! John, the owner, made us feel like family as soon as we walked in. We felt like regulars already! Let me just say that their French Toast is the best French Toast I have ever had! They also gave us complimentary taste of John's famous crab meat soup. It was so delicious, we ended up buying their extra large bowl to take home! They also had us try their rice pudding. To be honest, I felt like I was at my grandparent's house - shoving food down my throat but we loved it! We definitely plan on going back very very soon! read more

This is my GO TO breakfast place! The family atmosphere is what keeps drawing me and my friends in! John (the owner) and his wife have known all of us since we were kids and we always enjoy his company and how he makes sure he says hello to us upon arrival. The food ALWAYS hits the spot! If you haven't gone, GO! Trust me, you're missing out on a hidden gem! read more

I come here anytime I return to my hometown. Most times I come through Kearny I lack the time necessary to sit and eat but the Greeks is where you should put in time with their outstanding meals any time of the day. read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this place very much. It has a typical diner look and is not overdone by today's bling or other nonsense. However, I was disappointed when the service did not meet my expectations. The waitress who was serving us was rude and disrespectful and looked simply annoyed by our existence. The food was mediocre but relatively inexpensive. All in all, I really wish I could have enjoyed it more. read more

My family and I love this place. The people who work there are friendly and food is awesome. Makes your tummy happy.

The food is phenomenal. The prices are great and the atmosphere very small town, family feel. It's hard to stay away it's that awesome.

This place is so dirty. Everytime I ordered food there, I'd saw a cockroach running through. People say they like the food there, but allI kept seeing was dirty food handling, bugs, and poor sanitation. read more

What can I say, I walked out of there "FAT N HAPPY!" They recently did some renovations and it looks great! Had an egg omelette with bacon, ham, and cheese and it was huge! (Ate the whole damn thing). The home fries are outstanding! Im picky as hell and asked if they came with onions, server said they are minced already along with green peppers but you wont even notice them. She was right, all I noticed was the flavor...delicious! Prices are low too...had to reread the menu twice to make sure I wasn't hallucinating! If you're ever in the area, stop in and eat...then come back here to thank me! read more

This place should be 10 Stars. Prices are perfect. When you leave if you don't loosen your belt or don't leave feeling full something is wrong. "Yanni " Greek for John is one of the most Socialble Host of an Establishments in the Entire Area. He makes you feel at home and feeds you like you are family and gives you portions like you are family. There is no Skimpy plates here. You always get more than you pay for. A suggestion when you leave take a cup of soup home with you and always never leave without a cup of The Greeks Famous Homemade Rice Pudding. It is soooooooooo Creamy and yummy you might want 2. It's the best around. The Coffee is awesome from the Bottomless cup that is always filled. The serviceis top notch and the Bacon is sweet. One of the Landmark meals here is The Greeks Famous Sandwich The " Triple Bypass" Sandwich. One sandwich which will keep you going all day long. And quite delicious. As a Greek myself, This place is as close to Greece as you can go bring your own Ouzo. If you like Feta Cheese there is Feta Cheese Omelettes. So much on the menu it takes time to make a choice. Everything is sooooooooooooooo Good. Kalooo. Kosta Bethlehem Township, Pennsylvania read more

Found this place on Yelp, came here twice in one week, tomato soup is excellent, both times had a chicken gyro, super delicious.
