EaterJanuary 7, 2014Offering plates of zucchini fritters, fried salt-cod with garlicky skordalia, and fresh fish brought right to the restaurant by Long Island fishermen who are friends of the owner. [Eater 38 Member]
Serious EatsNovember 5, 2014No restaurant is more homey in Astoria than Gregory's. Get the grilled octopus with lemon, or the cheese-stuffed peppers kissed with char. Read more
Cole KennedyJuly 8, 2020Some of the best Greek food I’ve ever had. Fries didn’t travel very well, so if you’re doing take-out, you’ll want to run them under the broiler at home.
Patrick HealyAugust 8, 2014Big fan. The grilled octopus is fantastic. Service is good - for the most part. Prices are fair and the establishment is no frills. Good for families too. Very patient with the kids.
Michael SpinelliNovember 20, 2018The kind of old-school family-run neighborhood place that’s becoming rare in NYC.
Wonderful family spot to while away a summer afternoon with dips, saganaki, octopus, fresh porgy, and lager in green bottles- Serious EatsJanuary 31, 2014Super-casual Greek restaurant with homey but satisfying food, great octopus, and some outdoor seating in warm weather.
A true gem, definitive of Astoria. Always get the fresh fish. It's right off the boat, whole, and grilled. Also: lemon potatoes, yum!
Joyful BellyAugust 8, 2014The single best Greek restaurant in New York City and possibly anywhere outside of Greece. Authentic as it gets. Full of soul in the best way possible.
lucas companJanuary 7, 2016The best chicken souvlaki platter in town. Authentic Greek food, authentic Greek soundtrack.
- Village VoiceMay 31, 2012Bring out your inner carnivore with these spectacularly meaty lamb chops. Served with rustic fries, these chops rank number 6 on Robert Sietsema’s top 10 lamb dishes in NYC.
Adrian JankJune 16, 2013The Pork Chops are flavorful, tender, and downright delicious. The portion is massive. You'll walk out full and a big smile on your face.
Public House WineAugust 19, 2014Make the trek to Queens, and you'll be rewarded with some of the freshest seafood in the city. The octopus might be the best of your life.- Max NisenApril 15, 2016Octopus, fried smelts, and the grilled whole local porgy, which will change both your life and opinion of the fish.
Claudia FilthOctober 17, 2017Seriously amazing. Fried cheese is heaven. So is their zucchini fritters and the whiting.
Jade Bailey-AssamOctober 5, 2013Excellent, authentic Greek food. Be sure to get the octopus and the house wine. Also, it's CASH ONLY.
YourNYAgentMay 5, 2012Small Greek salad, chicken platter with Greek potatoes and the best broccoli I've ever had. Enough for 2 under $30!
Jennifer WarrenMay 27, 2014Small authentic traverna. The food is simple traditional. Usually get the fish of the day with horta

Brad DulayJanuary 7, 2012Parade of Greek gentleman gives this place plenty of credibility. Bakalari and fried peppers are musts.
Jonathan EllisJanuary 30, 2012Don't even bother with the menu, just order the specials -- and the octopus.
Katie BagsApril 13, 2014Terrible. Awful service, ignored by the waitress and bus staff. Food was over cooked and over priced. House wine is disgusting.- OmaliJune 5, 2016Food was good, customer service terrible.First off there're very racist. They do a pretty good job at making you feel uncomfortable.The staff were ridiculously rude.I would never go back there again.

"At the edge of Astoria park, the best greek in NYC. Shrimp Khadafi, Saganaki, Moussaka, Branzino and Tzaziki. Pita and house white. Happy stomach. Not much else on the neighborhood, worth the trip."
