Greek To Me

Love the breakfast and lunch with my daughter! It is worth coming back to this joint!!! Servers were super friendly!

Had a chicken souvlaki sandwich and a Texas dog with added feta for pickup. Order was ready on time that was stated over the phone. The chicken was delicious. Moist, flavorful and a decent amount for the price. I didn’t even need to add any of the dressing due to the flavor already in the chicken, nice job. Every time I go to a Greek place I need to try their Texas dog, or scum dog if anyone remembers Nestor’s from NT when it was still open. The dog itself was not bad, had a crispy skin which was nice for a Texas dog. The sauce itself was your typical Texas sauce, the added feta was a nice touch. My bun did get all soggy but I can’t fault a restaurant for that after a 10 min car ride. The fries that came with the souvlaki also were decent. Worth trying for a good bite if in the Tonawanda area.

I absolutely love this place. It’s an authentic diner – the kind we take for granted in Western New York because there are so many. The food here is always good. The menu is vast. It’s kid friendly. The servers are veterans and always warm and awesome. It’s just an awesome place. They treat you like family.

Wow. Every time I have a meal here, I am not disappointed. Had #7 biscuits and gravy with eggs, home fries, sausage and a fruit accent. Busy for breakfast but no wait. We all had this and it was great. I loved the sausage gravy over the biscuits.
If I want a great meal, it’s here. 6 star food.

«Buffalo Greek Diner» style — but with great food.
The portions are sizable, and the food from all indications lives up to the statement all over that it might take longer, but everything is prepared to order.
«Vince’s Cucumber Sauce» is spot on. Order extra, you won’t regret it.
The Fish Fry is HUGE. Moist with a crispy breading it was very well received. And my Steak Souvlaki was prepared medium as I requested — and seasoned perfectly. It ws also not dry at all, not always the case with stuff cooked on a stick.
We will be returning, I’m sure. Greek to Me has gone a long way to swapping my opinion of Buffalo Area Greek food.

Greek To Me is a slightly underrated Diner in the Buffalo Area. It’s in this plaza off of Niagara Falls Blvd and Sheridan. It has your standard diner affair (breakfast, burgers, souvlaki, etc.), but has some unique items that I have yet to see in the area. I have been about 4 – 5 times, either by myself or with a crew of people, and it has yet to disappoint.
My main dish that I’ve ordered is the Hangover Plate, which is basically their version of a Garbage Plate. Since the closing of University Hots, this may be the only place in Buffalo that actually makes Garbage Plates. Not only is the plate tasty, but I think it would fair well in the mecca of garbage plates in WNY, rochester.
Service wasn’t bad. Kinda small and it can get a little loud at times. But, its a cute little diner that tends to get you in and out in a hurry. Servers are attentive, but not overly attentive (which is a good thing).

Love the breakfast hangover plate!!! Yummy! Very good service too! Cute diner style with 50s music playing in the background. The servers have cute phrases on the back of their shirts.

Service and food were great! The chicken gyro was phenomenal. Ask for extra tziki but be warned, it’s very garlicky. My dad asked for his bacon and hash browns crispy and that’s exactly how they came. Michael our server was right on top of all of our needs. Great spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Clean, friendly, food is good. Nothing out of the ordinary, but good. Don had a hot dog with that sauce on it and a side of greek potatoes, I had the julienne salad that was served in an edible salad shell. Nice, fresh, good size.

Walked into a completely full restaurant. There was absolutely no room for me and my friend to sit. It also took super long for the waitress to even come up to us, so she could say it was going to be a couple minutes before we were seated.
However once we were seated and waited on I was pleasantly surprised! There are signs everywhere saying that food is made to order and comes it fresh and they were right! The food was so delicious and they served the right amount. Our waitress could have been better, but I will give her credit because it was super busy. Overall it was an amazing experience!

I went to this restaurant last week Thursday around 1230. I was working on a pet clinic across the street and decided to give this place a try. So I walked to the counter where I had a young man say we will be right with you. I stood in place while waiting I looked through the menu. Some of the options were interesting like gyro chimmchanga called Chimmy the Greek. I enjoyed the idea of the place 1950’s diner style with a Pulp Fiction flare. However when I was standing and waiting for someone to assist me a young woman came to the counter and looked right at me and didn’t even say a word to me she instead answered the phone and took someone else’s order and held her finger up, as a gesture for me to wait a minute and when I said «ok» she turned her back to me.
I am a plummer by trade I wasn’t covered in dirt or anything worse. To be pushed aside while taking a phone call is just rude. I will possibly try this place again in hopes the service is better.

Greek To Me is not your average diner. Their happy, welcoming staff paired with its clean, spacious new location and excellent food set them apart from any other diner around town.
Since I am a creature of habit, I order the same thing every time I visit: a #1 (2 eggs, toast, and homefries) with an extra side of homefries. They make it perfectly every time! The eggs are always perfect, and their homefries are made with onions, just the way I like them. You do have the option to have the homefries made without onions, but the one time my girlfriend ordered this, they were accidentally made with onions anyway. no big deal, but just keep an eye out if you prefer no onions.
When they first moved to their new Eggert location I was sceptical because it seemed like it was far away from everything. However, now it seems to have actually increased their business! They decorated it perfectly and I am happy to drive a couple of minutes longer to eat their delicious breakfast!

First time there. Delicious open chicken souvlaki and chicken souvlaki wrap. The homemade cucumber dressing is excellent. Friendly and attentive service.

Fantastic breakfast with perfectly done steak Souvlaki 2 eggs grilled onions and grilled tomatos. Veggie omelette was good too. Hearty lots of veggies.
Caring service. Very attentive. We’d be back often if we lived here!

It’s in the shopping center with savers– the thrift store. They have signs up warning that the food is fresh, so it takes a while to get it. Very true. Food takes a long time to get but it’s worth it! Had the Greek omelette. Recommend! Very tasty. Got the home fries. Needed a little hot sauce but very good. So good, I ate it all! They have a Lenten menu if that matters to you. Seems busy for brunch but it’s good!

Well we thought we were going to have Valentine’s Day breakfast but we were wrong. Only 1 waitress that was more concerned with talking to regulars than taking care of other tables. The bus girl brought our menus and drinks, we sat for at least 10 min, no waitress. You can tell all the other tables were not happy either. She even greeted a new table and got them drinks before the other people that walked in 5 min before them.
Horrible service– not sure about the food. We will never be back. I don’t think they seem to care either.

Sorry, not a fan. Quite slow service, from coffee refills, to food delivery, to even getting the check. Breakfast at a diner, shouldn’t take more than 90 minutes.
My Spinach and feta omelette was something I would describe as a fritatta, nothing was wrapped in the eggs, it was all just cooked together.
Portions below average size for the prices.
Wife orders a breakfast sandwich– scrambled, with bacon, american cheese, hard roll. So it’s 4.29 for the egg and bacon. Cheese is =.75. Hardroll? +.50. So 5.49 …and the egg was fried hard.

So the owner here dresses in PVC and latex and wears those creepy WWII gas masks. He was like, «do you think I look hot?» and I was like, «no, you just look like a Freak To Me.» Hence the restaurant name.
It’s one of the better diners in Buffalo with very good quality food, made with love. It’s a Greek-​American diner which also has some Buffalo and Rochester specialties like Red Hots and Garbage Plates. This place has some good reviews and some people I trust love it here, so I gave their Open Chicken Souvlaki a try. I was happy that they gave me 10% off for my check in, that was definitely a big plus. The place inside is nice and spacious and new looking. Its right near Sheridan & NFB, which granted is one of the most awful intersections and areas to negotiate, but it’s definitely central, and you can get to Koreana and back without even going on the street. The head chef/​owner is a lovely guy and his customer service skills are some of the absolute best I have encountered anywhere.
I went back in there and the guy said «hey you haven’t been in here for three days!» I was like… «actually it seems more like a Week To Me.» Hence the restaurant name.
Now let’s talk about the food itself. The Chicken Souvlaki itself is not my favourite style, although I still really loved it, but it’s just personal preference. This is the skewered souvlaki which is still on the skewer when they give it to you. It’s good chicken, not marinaded enough for me but still delicious. My favourite souvlakis are extremely marinaded, sometimes for days, and because they are not too well done, you can really taste the marinade in the juice. It’s still well worth getting. And everything that came with the Souvlaki was awesome.
So when I went in there, the guy was like «I know who was really behind 911, but you have to keep it a secret.» And I was like «I’ll never tell a soul, regardless of what you Leak To Me.» Hence the restaurant name.
The chicken itself was only a 4 just because of my personal taste, but the salad, the garlic sauce, the food quality in general, are all top notch. My fave souvlakis in the area are Alton’s, Towne and Spilios, plus nearby Pete’s Greek Isles in the Boulevard Mall which is closing forever at the end of Dec 2014. All of those are very juicy and the style I like. Greek To Me is more along the lines of what the rest of the USA calls souvlaki. And they do it very very well.
I ordered Roast Duck here, and they brought out the mouth of the duck. I sent it back, they brought another duck mouth. I was like, «why do you keep bringing Beak To Me.» Hence the restaurant name.
Let’s talk about what came with the Souvlaki. The salad was absolutely delicious. Cold, wet, and most importantly fresh. The dressing was delicious. A little too much feta cheese for my liking, very generous indeed, but very fresh tasting feta, and the girl I shared it with is obsessed with feta so it worked out well. Then there was the garlic sauce that came with it, aka Tzaziki, or Most-​O-​Seir if you’re Persian. It was more like Lebanese Garlic Chicken sauce than anything Greek. It was AMAZING. One of the best Garlic (Tzaziki) sauces I’ve had. I’d come back here just for the Garlic Sauce. The salad and sauce are ⁵⁄₅ standard.
I asked the guy if he also owns the place by the river, he said, what River? I said the Buffalo River, he said, oh, that looks more like a Creek To Me. Hence the restaurant name.
I did wait a very long time for pick up, which made me late for another pick up and made that cold, but the owner was later very nice about it. He wrote probably the most understanding comment on the negative elements of review that I’ve received from anyone too. It’s a very high quality diner, for sure. Much more so than most diners.
I asked for Ox Tongue, but what they brought me wasn’t tongue. I was like, «this looks more like Cheek To Me.» Hence the restaurant name.
I did come back and I tried the garbage plate. I had a very long wait time again but this time I wasn’t in a hurry so I didn’t mind. I didn’t really like the garbage plate. It was a good quality and I think college kids would like it but I am spoiled by the ones in Rochester. However I’d come here for a salad and garlic tzaziki sauce if I was ever in the mood for that. And to try other things. I’d bring a girl here too. It’s clean, it’s well-​lit, it’s high quality food.
I heard «Love Me Do» on the radio here and told the owner so, and he said «sounds like Eight Days A Week To Me.»
He then ran to the bathroom to poop, I said wow, he really had to poop, the waitress said «sounds more like a Leak To Me.»
A muslim guy named Ahmad came in then left, and I was like, «he looked like an Ahmad, didn’t he» and the owner was like, «looked more like a Malik To Me.»
And then an Indian guy came in and the owner was like «definitely Hindu» and I was like «actually looks more like a Sikh To Me.»
I’m here all Week (To Me

This is, hands down, my favorite diner in Buffalo! My boyfriend and I discovered Greek to Me nearly three years ago when he, a Rochester native, was craving a garbage plate. A quick Google search led us to Greek to Me and the rest, as they say, is history.
On our first visit, owner and chef extraordinaire, Vince, stopped by our table to chat and tell us all about his garbage plate odyssey. In the dozens of times we returned after that initial visit, Vince often greeted us as if he remembered us, and always made us feel welcome.
Greek to Me was my first garbage plate experience and I loved it. My boyfriend says that it is «the best garbage plate west of Rochester.» If you’re visiting Greek to Me definitely try one of the garbage plates, called hangover plates at the restaurant.
Other favorite dishes include their gyro (mmmmm!), their chicken souvlaki (with egg whites for breakfast!), and Vince’s homemade cucumber sauce (heavenly!). Ask for a side and dip your french fries in it! Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Came here twice since they moved to Eggert. I’ve never been here before and had interesting experiences.
The food — fast, cheap, and good. I got the Chimmi and Open Souvlaki Salad. The Chimmi was pretty good but I felt like too much feta. By the time I was half way done, I thought I couldn’t even eat any more. The salad was good but I thought a bit small. I compared it to Zoe’s where you get a salad so big you have left overs for days! Everything was fresh though which is a huge plus!
The atmosphere — very interesting and different. Think 60’s Diner (music and all).
The staff — Quite friendly, although the person who took our order, gave us our food, and gave us our bill were 3 different people. I’m not a fan of that. And hate tipping when that happens.
All-​in-​all, I thought it was good. I will definitely be back!
