Greek Food in Suffolk County?

[tomfarl]

Any recommendations for good Greek cuisine on Long Island? Particularly Suffolk County.

Skorpios, in Huntington, has freshened up; a new coat of paint, murals on the wall, new brighter lighting have enhanced the appearance of this old time Greek standby. Monday, we had flounder stuffed with feta cheese and spinach, coupled with a humongous salad. The flounder fillet was was ample and fresh and the filling was tasty. My SO had barbequed chicken with lemon potatoes , along with a bowl of chicken orzo soup. A gratis dish of pita with tzatziki sauce was good, too, having a goodly amount of garlic unlike the bland offering of other Greek places around Suffolk County. The meal was good and wholesome and the restaurant is worth frequenting.

Both Greek Village and Souvlaki Palace in Commack are good and are different from each other. Z Pita on Main Street in Port Jefferson is also good.

Acropolis in Nesconset!!!!!!!! In the nesconset library strip mall on smithtown blvd, YUM!!

I would like to put in a word for Athens Square Cafe, 517 Larkfield Rd. EN-East side of road in little mini mall just south of Clay Pitts Rd.

[Joanzing]

I like it too. The salad is very nice. East Northprt and Commack are blessed with lots of places. Also Souvlaki Palace on Commack Road.

I want to add the long time reliable Greek Village in Commack.

I just realized no one mentioned the Hellenic Snack Bar in Greenport/Marion (although I know most people might not consider the East End as part of Suffolk County ;-) If it wasn't for their atrociously slow wait staff I'd be there on a weekly basis. They have things on their menu I've never seen anywhere else, and the outdoor dining in the summer is divine. At least they don't rush you!

There is a delish turkish restaurant called The Pita House in Patchogue- excellant!

I like a little place in Greenlawn, called The Grecian Corner Cafe...
They have the biggest and best burgers, not to mention the Gyros are really good!!! Its right on Broadway, diagonally across from CVS....

Alexandros in Mt Sinai. Not cheap, but appetizers and whole fish are worth it.

Don't want to sound like a cheerleader for this place , but "It's Gyro Time" in east northport is very good. Not fancy by any stretch. Look at the thread on it.

Thanks Mr Phil! Even though you didnt break out the pom poms for this place, I'll check it out.

[KitchenMaid]

There's a Greek restaurant/diner called Greek Island Restaurant on 25A by Wading River. It's okay, not great. Being half-Greek I tend to avoid places that have some mention of "Greek" in the name as they're usually not that authentic. But in a pinch it's not that bad.

[coll]

You should try Athens Grill in Riverhead village, it's more than "okay". And no Greek in the name!

[North Bank Ned]

Fish dishes are particularly more than OK.

I'd break out the pom poms for Gyro Time, but at my age no one wants to see that!

The charcoal calamari is to die for, and everything there is terrific. We had one disappointment on our first visit, overcooked mixed grill was dry, but mostly, they've wowed us with portions, and quality.

[sbp]

Yep - I had the charcoal calamari last time I was there, and it is amazing. Also, they were out of tarama so we had eggplant salad. More or less like a baba ganoush, very fresh, also excellent. Used to eat at Mediterranean Snack Bar all the time; this place is MUCH better.

[mcf]

Mediteranean snack bar isn't nearly as good as it was years ago, when it built its reputation, though they still always have the freshest fish. I live in Huntington village, but we take out and eat in at Gyro Time now.
