What Dave McEvers doesn't like about Athenian Room:
Cash only and charging 3 bucks for soft drink refills irks me. But tge food is good. Only one dessert option. Must use the restroom in the bar next door.Food: 5/5 View all feedback. What Sarah K likes about Athenian Room:
I had never been and can see why the chicken meal is a classic. Hard to beat a half chicken with salad and fries for $15. The skin of the chicken was amazing and crisp, and those fries dunked in the chicken sauce were stunning. A little disappointed by the kalamasalata but everything else was excellent, really friendly service and great atmosphere! View all feedback.

read moreThe Athenian Room is a neighborhood gem that offers delicious Greek food at a fair price. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, with friendly staff welcoming guests. The menu features classic dishes like gyro, chicken, and spinach cheese pie, all of which receive high praise from diners. The Greek fries and baklava are particularly standout items. The restaurant is family-owned, and the owners are often present to greet guests. While the cash-only policy and lack of free soft drink refills may be minor inconveniences, the overall dining experience is top-notch. With ample portions and great service, the Athenian Room is a must-visit when in Chicago.

read moreTheeee best Greek chicken anywhere. It would be my last meal if I had too!
I think this place is overrated. Fries are soggy. Meat is just ok. I don’t get the hype. I have one more dish I want to try, but not rushing to it.
Great place for dinner! They’re burger, chicken, and gyro plate was delicious! Cash only but definitely worth a visit! Incredible staff!
