Variable selection of food is available. However we were expecting specifically Greek cuisine! The lamb souvlakis were just ok I must say.

Driving around, my fiancé and I found this restaurant…exquisite. It appeared stuffy from the drive-in, but even if, the staff had the warmth of Southern hospitality. Nic/holas was our server, and he was great; offered suggestions when asked, attentive and welcoming.

I’ve been coming here since the late 1970’s. Watched it grow and expand into a delightful country restaurant. But with Hampton/New York prices. Now it’s over priced for many items and they are quite small in portion. See photos

We have driven past this place for years and finally came in! The food was outstanding – everyone at the table got something different and each of us felt we had the best thing on the table. Our server, Luca, preempted all of our needs and even though we ordered approximately 1000 rounds of drinks, he kept things going with a smile. The outdoor seating has a beautiful view of the flowers & tons of seating!

Where do we go when we want the best, freshest, home-cooked delicious authentic Greek meal? Where do we go to receive a warm welcome, to dine alfresco, to feel like we’re “away,” to relax over a leisurely meal that feels like home? Hellenic Snack Bar, of course! I’ve been enjoying generous meals there for yes, well over three decades and counting… and I can’t wait for our next visit. The menu has continued to offer the best of traditional favorites while introducing the most appealing and creative new creations. Long Live the beloved Hellenic Snack Bar

My family had a delicious brunch on the patio here. Service was excellent as was the food. The landscaping is beautiful. I especially recommend the frappe and babka French toast.

We went here for a special occassion and were extremely disappointed! Falafal was hard as rocks, octopus was mushy and flavorless, souvlakis were gristly probably due to partially thawed chicken being cooked. We could not eat it at all! The waitress did not even ask if everything was OK when she saw our plates were barely touched, obviously it was not OK! The souvlakis were presented as a wet pile. pita on the bottom, chicken and then onions and tomato over the top which soaked the french fries and bread to the point they were inedible. This used to be a wonderful place to eat. I hope the owners see this review and take heed and make changes.

The chicken was dry and the service can be hard to reach if you’re dining outside and indoor dining is busy. The atmosphere is great when the weather is cooperative. Close proximity to Lavender by the Bay which is a plus. Their lemonade is a must try!

Super fresh ingredients and beautiful views. .I should add that the menu was not lying when it said their turkey club is the best in the hemisphere! I was not expecting fresh roasted/warm turkey! Large portions that I could not finish and . . I had to fight my cat for the leftovers when I returned to Massachusetts. ♀️

After stopping by Lavender by the bay my boyfriend and I decided to stop for lunch. We started with their homemade lemonade and the dangeraide! It’s quite dangerous . For an app we ordered the mini spinach rolls. Excellent! For our main dishes I got the gyro wrap hot with chicken souvlaki. The chicken was so juicy and my boyfriend can’t stop raving about the inhaler burger. It was a great escape from the heat and the staff was so nice. We’ll be back…you have made us want to come back! Thank you!
