Greek Islands Restaurant

What a fantastic lunch that my guy and I enjoyed today. We walked into the wide-open, bright dining room, which has table, booth, and counter seating (seating is available on the front porch also), and nicely decorated. We agreed we were glad we were there. Appetizers are my idea of a meal. I was tempted to get the sampler platter with taramosalata (carian spread), skordalia (garlic spread), hummus, tzatziki, grape leaves, feta, peppers, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers & pita. There is always next time as my guy wasn't interested today. Then I saw my favorite soup, Chicken Avgolemono, with egg, lemon, and rice. Oh my.But after discussing, we agreed that we rate a Greek establishment on the gyro. I ordered the lunch Gyro Platter with Greek salad (salad dressing was superb), pita bread, and tzatziki. And my guy ordered the gyro (tomatoes, onions & tzatzaki sauce nestled in toasted pita bread). We agreed that both of the gyro orders deserve the five-star rating. Delicious.There are Monday-Friday specials and new menu items posted on the wall near the entrance, which we noticed as we were leaving. Tuesday's is Pastitsio (layers of baked macaroni, ground beef (wish it were lamb), and bechamel sauce topped with red sauce & served with Greek salad.Their menu is a perfect Greek restaurant menu with a wide variety of choices. The dessert menu has nine items to choose from. All the more reason to go back again soon.The server, Frank, was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and proficient. Parking is on-site.

Our regular Wednesday night dinner group decided to try the Greek Islands Restaurant this week. WINNER! WINNER! We ordered the saganaki (flaming cheese), Greek salad (included with the entrees), chicken shish-ka-bob, and mousaka. Every thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. The Greek salad is the gold standard by which all Greek salads should strive to be. The main course portions of chicken shish, which was accompanied by rice and french fries, was beautifully seasoned and perfectly cooked. I didn't taste the mousaka but my friends who had it were very happy. I will be recommending Greek Island and definitely returning!

I had a solid meal at this restaurant with my party of 8. The food we ordered was delicious, especially the sampler platter . The wait staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and excellent service.

We stopped by for their Lamb Shanks and we weren't disappointed! Some things in life are reliable and the Greek Islands' lamb shank is one of those things. They have the same orzo and delicious sauce as they have had for years. The lamb shanks also come with one of their mini-Greek salads.As a heads-up, the lamb shanks are only available Friday, Saturday and Sunday! You should stop by and treat yourself! The staff is always friendly and speedy.

Food - my go-to is the chicken souvlaki platter - YUMMMMMMMMMMMMYService - good and attentive especially during lunch hourAmbiance - typical luncheon dinette decor

If you're looking for good quality Greek food look no further. Menu has a wide selection of dishes and everything is prepared fresh. I'm not one to bring left overs home but all of our left overs came home with us from here

It used to be our favorite close to home, but the Grouchy guy there was ungrateful for our business too many times so we don't do business there anymore. Hey, if you don't like your customers, get out of that business. Too expensive to be treated like garbage.

You enter a stranger and leave with a new extension to your family! I have been coming here since a child! I remember every time I got sick my Mom would bring Avgolemono (lemon rice soup). This soup was the healer of all things in our home! I still crave it to this day as an adult! Ask for Tina she is the best! The menu is traditional greek items and it doesn't disappoint. From appetizers to entree even desserts everything is fantastic! I adore the Greek dressing it's simply perfection! Indoor and outdoor seating available! This is hands down the best Greek food in Pinellas County! Stop in today!

Always delicious. They have the best Greek salad in the County! All the staff is very friendly.

I love this private owned neighborhood gem. The food is fresh, healthy and reasonably priced. I always come back for more.
