It's Greek To Me Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

Let me start off by telling you this lil fact about this place, THE ABSOLUTE BEST GYROS ON LONG island…. 100%!!! I just happen to fall onto this place during the beginning of Covid… I unfortunately bank at the place Next-door… And this was during the time when only a certain amount of people were allowed in to an establishment at a time. So while I had to wait my turn in my car, I decided to get something to eat, and long and behold “it’s Greek to me” just happened to be the restaurant I was parked in front of. So I thought to myself, “self you like gyros, why not try one from here?!?“ LOL when I went up to the window, I was greeted with such a huge smile and a friendly face… And during that time a friendly face was what everybody needed. I soon came to learn her name is Stephanie, the daughter of the owner John, Who is also the most talented cook in the back… And his wife Cathy who is also very accommodating and extremely welcoming! But anyway… I can go on and on about this restaurant, it’s clean, their customer service is impeccable, they are extremely accommodating and friendly, and their food?!? The best lamb… soft and succulent… Delectable in every way… Their tahini sauce you can tell me is homemade and as cliché as it may sound made with love and made with that Greek love… Everything on that menu is Beyond delicious… I honestly think I only keep my accounts at that terrible bank next-door because of this place, because every time I drive nine exits on the 135 I always make it a point to stop here and pick up lunch or dinner for me and my family!!! LOL I highly recommend it’s great to me restaurant in Syosset to anyone and everyone! They will not disappoint you, in fact they will exceed every expectation you have, I guarantee it! They definitely have exceeded all of mine and they still continue to! I applaud you John, Cathy, and Stephanie! Me and my family will never go to another place for a Gyro ever again because the real gyros come...

Amazing food, exceptional service, and a must-visit! My girlfriend found this gem while searching for the best places to eat on Long Island, and I can confidently say that "It's Greek to Me" is the best in the area! The quality of the meats is exceptional – the lamb was unbelievably tender and seasoned to perfection. My girlfriend is a chef, so trust me when I say that the quality is top-tier. Over the course of a week, I had nearly everything on the menu, and each dish was a standout. Everything is homemade and absolutely delicious.

The Tiramisu? Hands down the best I’ve ever had – I’m still dreaming about it! What makes this place even more special is the husband-and-wife team who run it. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love and care they pour into every detail, from the food to the dining room and customer service. They go 110% every time, ensuring each guest has a memorable experience.

I travel a lot for work and eat at many restaurants, but "It’s Greek to Me" is by far the best....

Before reading further, understand that most reviews I write for restaurants are negative. This is because more often than not, I am disappointed. Three dinners ordered; three mediocre meals. I ordered a gyro. When served to me, the meat was lukewarm. I complained. The proprietor took the plate back. He emerged a few minutes later and served me the same gyro. He boasted on how he fixed it for me. Well, meat was still cold, but now the ceramic plate was red hot. I complained no more; I just said to my party I won't be back. The french fries (standard-type) with my gyro were excellent. My fountain soda was very good. I requested Tahini sauce and it was good. One of my party had a souvlaki with their home-style potato chip fries, which they brag about. The chips tasted and wilted like they were three days old. The chicken meat was unremarkable. The other member had a pork souvlaki, and the meat seemed chewy and old. It was like they just served us...
