Hear from our valued guests
I freaking love diners and Dawn is the best server in the business. My wife and I go here religiously. When friends come to town we take them to the islands where you get great breakfast for a great price. Toss your worries out the window while you stare at the heart of Crown Point. There's plenty of room for everyone so bring your grandma and party.
Always a great meal to be had here - I just with the hours were more convenient and it was open later on the days it's open! Server Melissa was a riot.
Love going to this place! The Twelve Island sandwich with turkey and gyro meat is my favorite. Staff is always friendly and service fast! Would recommend!
Good family restaurant service was great and the food was tasty and served nice and hot.
Coming here for years. Cannot say I have ever been disappointed. They have it all, like any classic Greek dinner should. The service is always excellent. The breakfast menu has something for everyone. The lunch menu does as well. I am partial to getting lemon rice soup whenever possible. The open faced beef and turkey are great comfort food.
I absolutely love the lemon rice soup here. I had a hard day? Lemon rice soup. It’s cold outside? Lemon rice soup. I have a migraine? Lemon rice soup. Currently day two of my wisdom teeth removal and I bought 3 quarts 😂. I can call and it’s always ready in 5 minutes. Absolutely love this place :).
My wife and I stopped by for dinner and found the restaurant about half full. After a short wait, our server came over and took our order. We asked for her recommendations, and she confidently shared a few options. My wife chose the stir fry, and I went with the hot beef sandwich. Both dishes were excellent—her suggestions were spot on! We were both very pleased with our meals, and the prices were reasonable. The service was great, and the restaurant was clean. We'll definitely be back!
They have real American fries. I loved it. My hamburger was delightful. Best I have had in a while. I will be back veru soon. Eleni was friendly, efficient, and was able to fulfill a special request with a good attitude.
Food was amazing. It was family friendly, cozy, and quiet.
I’ve been a customer for many years and they never disappoint. The menu has something for everyone and the daily specials are always terrific. I recently had the Mediterranean Grouper and it was delicious. The Chicken Lemon Soup is very good. This family owned Greek restaurant is a must visit if you like quality food at excellent prices served by a friendly staff. Service is quick and attentive. I highly recommend Twelve Islands next time you’re in downtown Crown Point, Indiana.
