Customer Reviews
The food is always delicious.. whether we order a platter, a gyro or salad, the food is great. Ira flavorful and healthy. Th service is friendly and welcoming Tonight we tried the rice pudding for the first time, and it’s also delicious
This food was PHENOMENAL. It was a quick decision to stop in and order take-out for lunch, but I was floored by how good this place was!! We got the grilled chicken platter, falafel platter, side of lemon potatoes and rice pilaf. Everything was *literally* incredible. The falafel was the best I have had to date, perfectly crispy and crunchy. The chicken was perfectly seasoned. The potatoes and rice were buttery and savory. And the salad was refreshing! My only regret is not ordering an additional side of pita bread (The meal comes with pita for each order but I should’ve ordered more given how large the meal was). The portions are HUGE - this lasted us two lunches (and I might say it was even better the following day!). Definitely order from here if you can - you won’t be disappointed!
Best Greek food on the island. This little mom and pop shop is pristine, fresh, and delicious. We took our lunch special (gyro, fries, drink $15) to go, and the fries were still steamy and crispy when we got home. The gyro had the perfect blend of toppings, and the best part was that although the portion was large, it could actually still be eaten by hand. Nothing fell apart. The quality was fantastic. There was no chewy fat on the meat, the lettuce was crunchy, the tzatziki was tangy… it was PERFECT! Baklava was out of this world. Big smiles behind the counter from the owners, which also just made it taste that much better. Cannot WAIT to go back.
I ordered the food, to be delivered, so I cannot comment, on the atmosphere. The veggie patty platter, was large, and, delicious, with luscious, creamy, hummus, and, a Greek salad, on the platter, with plenty of feta cheese, covering the salad. I also ordered spinach pie, which was excellent. My husband, ordered a veggie patty, in a pita. The pita, was warm, and the generous-sized veggie patty, was very good, with lettuce, and, cucumber, tomato, and, onion slices. All was quite satisfactory. I’m looking forward, to trying the lentil soup, next time, and, will order the veggie patty platter, again, a nice vegetarian meal.
*5/5 stars* "I'm thrilled to see Uncle Leo's South Shore (formerly Pete's on Long Beach Road) back in action! As a regular customer in the past, I was excited to try it out again. Let me tell you, folks, Leo is back and better than ever! I ordered the moussaka, spinach pie, and salad, and it was like tasting the good old days all over again. The food was fantastic, and I couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a taste of nostalgia with amazing flavors, look no further. Uncle Leo's is a must-go! Welcome back, Leo - you've got a loyal customer in me!"
