Family owned and operated. Every visit is like meeting friends.
Great food warm and friendly staff make this place a win every time.
Just cause everyone is great does not mean there are no stand outs.
The young lady at the counter I call "Greek Island Heather" Knows my order with out being told.
The wonderful selection of fresh homemade soups is great.My favorite is the creme of turkey soup.
The other must is the greek classic pistachio. The creamy béchamel sauce is always perfect.
I can not recommend any place more highly this is a local gem, you owe to your self to try it read less

Luckily, one of my best friends lives right around the corner and I've enjoyed multiple amazing breakfasts at the Greek Island Diner. I always get an omelette, and it's always huge and delicious, no matter what kind I get. I can never eat that much in the morning, but I always leave a clean plate here. The waitstaff is always super accommodating with substitutions and splitting checks. Also, this place is so affordable and you get so much food! It's super clean and honestly, the perfect diner. SO glad they were able to expand to the second storefront. read less

My husband Chris and I come here on a weekly basis and we absolutely love the way each meal is prepared and how we are treated from EVERY single staff member!! They all make sure that the food is prepared to your liking and if it is not then simply speak up and they will make sure to quickly get you exactly how you want it prepared!! They truly make you feel like family and are always eager to make for an amazing dining experience! Their recent renovations make for more seating options in an impeccably clean, cozy and well decorated environment! Thank you for having a diner so close to home that we can go to, to truly feel like we are eating in the comfort of our own home!

The great part is that they can make most menu items gluten free! My wife has celiacs disease and mentioned it to the waiter and he told us they actually have many gluten free options which is great because she has celiacs disease and cannot eat wheat. Wonderful food and friendly. Will be back! read less

The Greek island diner delivered two delicious gyros to my house along with a yummy spanakopita and crispy fries! I moved to Ridge 3 years and had no idea there were any other delivery options other than pizza or Chinese. I highly recommend this place! My husband and I would give them 10 stars if we could! read less

The owners of the GID know the importance of customer service. This is the type of place where you almost never hear "no" to a special request and you're always greeted with warmth and hospitality.
Their very efficient and their delivery is the fastest in the area, hands down.
Breakfast is great as well as lunch, dinner and desserts. What I find hilarious is that with a town that hosts 5 pizzerias the GID has the best mozzarella sticks in town lol.
Be prepared when you get the Greek salad because in addition to being delicious they are HUGE.
We also love the falafel and hummus pita, try it.
The paninis are great, as well as the Greek specialties and burgers.
Can't say enough great things! read less

Upon entering the place is way bigger than it looks from the outside. You get that old school diner vibe but with a modern homey type charm.
The place was packed but we were seated immediately and greeted by very friendly staff.
We decided to just order a couple of apps because we couldn't decide on one thing.
Everything we ordered was excellent. I love Spanakopita and this was the best I've had in quite a while. Oh and that yogurt sauce. SO GOOD. I could have eaten it out of the bowl like it was soup.
Our waitress was a sweetheart as was the women at the counter when we left to pay.
So glad I finally stopped in ! Can't wait to come back again. read less
