Our Story
Founded in 1986 by Antonio Dragonas, Tony Dragon’s Grille started off as a small stainless-steel push-wagon: the platform from which Antonio would begin selling hot dogs and pretzels and eventually lead to what has become an institution of fine gourmet Greek/Mediterranean food. From common hot dog pusher to pioneer street-burger flipper to artisan chicken-breast griller, Tony’s commitment to continually reinventing himself quickly gained him the attention of some of New York’s most prominent media outlets (The New York Times / New York Post), as well as a slew of loyal customers. Now 30 years later and a Food-Truck at that: the mission has been further elevated so that quality-fresh food could mean a lot more. Wild Salmon, Free-Range Chicken Breast, USDA Choice Rib-Eye Steak, and an expanded selection of fresh Mediterranean Salads. We promise to align our supply-chain in a more sustainable fashion moving forward, when it is possible for us to do so.

"Tony Dragon's Grill is a true landmark on the Upper East Side. Freshly cooked Greek and Mediterranean food, always fresh ingredients and generous portions. The lamb and beef gyros are some of the best in town: delicious meat, soft pita and perfectly balanced sauce."

"I pre-ordered online before they opened and went to pick it up. I thought it would open at 10:30am, but it was already ready at the pickup area. You can get drinks from the freezer yourself. I was so happy to enjoy this great burger with the handsome chef on the last day of my trip to New York."

"Some say it's the best burger ever, so I came here on purpose, but personally, I didn't find the Portobello burger anything special. To be specific, it was the dirtiest burger I've ever had. It was huge, and the veggies were so watery."

"The prices weren't as high as I expected, which was good. There was even a Korean sign, probably because there were a lot of Koreans there. The burger was as delicious as expected! I took it to Central Park to eat."

"Awesome. Passed many restaurants on the way to this place. We were very happy. I ordered the ribeye steak and chicken bowl with rice, which came with a bowl of fresh Greek salad - large bowl with separate tzatziki sauce and salad dressing for $23. Large portion. Husband had the Gypsy Burger for $13."
