Each month, Special Services highlights a place, participant or program that showcases the community. This month, we shine a light on Greek Islands Restaurant located at the
Farmington Hills Golf Club.
The Greek Islands Restaurant is located at 37777 W. Eleven Mile Court, just west of Halsted Road. Greek Islands is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Whether you've just finished a round of golf or you're looking for good food in a comfortable setting, the Greek Islands Bar & Grill is a great place to have a relaxing meal with friends.
Specialties include gyros, spinach pie, moussaka, and saganaki, as well as burgers, seafood, steaks, and a full breakfast menu (served anytime). Vegetarian selections, a kids' menu, and a full carry out menu are also available. Everything is homemade from scratch, including the soups and signature yogurt sauce. There are daily specials, an All-You-Can-Eat Fish Fry on Fridays, and live music most weekends.
With a country club atmosphere and golf d�cor, the Greek Islands is sure to please both golfers and community members. The Greek Islands Bar & Grill is open seven days a week serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For more information, call (248) 957 - 6734.
