    The main draw is the impeccably fresh food including addictive fried smelts, fennel and orange scented sausages, and authentic sagnaki, which arrives without the usual showy gimmicky flames. Read more

    Offering 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]

    No 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

    Some 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.

    Big 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.

    The kind of old-school family-run neighborhood place that’s becoming rare in NYC.

    A true gem, definitive of Astoria. Always get the fresh fish. It's right off the boat, whole, and grilled. Also: lemon potatoes, yum!

    The 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.

    Bring 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.

    The Pork Chops are flavorful, tender, and downright delicious. The portion is massive. You'll walk out full and a big smile on your face.

    Make 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.

    Octopus, fried smelts, and the grilled whole local porgy, which will change both your life and opinion of the fish.

    Terrible. Awful service, ignored by the waitress and bus staff. Food was over cooked and over priced. House wine is disgusting.
