What amanda foster likes about The Athenian Cafe:
This place has amazing food. We all had original gyros and side Greek salads. They were very filling and tasted amazing. We also opted to get stuffed grape leaves and fried zucchini for apps. Also very good. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for delicious fresh food. The waitresses we're very helpful and nice as well! We will be coming back soon! View all feedback.

What Michael Brenkert doesn't like about The Athenian Cafe:
Didn’t get to order. Sat down, had to get my own menu. Waitress took two people’s drinks, then food order who came and sat after me, while I was just sitting there waiting.As I left I said “thanks away” the lady at the counter told me they were “take out” even though they were sitting down and getting their food and drink order taken.

Really good gyros, I had the lamb. It came fully loaded with all the fixings. Great flavor on a warm soft gyro bread. From first to last bite you'll be pleased....

Always enjoy our food and service. Would be nice to have music in background, would be more relaxing and not hearing other people's conversations.

Excellent Greek food! I get the grape leaves frequently for lunch, and baklava as a sweet treat. Highly recommended!
