Good food and generous amounts. Service is competent and friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. There is one "handicapped" parking spot which we can legally use, which is handy. Otherwise parking is on the street. We have been there several times and would happily go back.

I love this place. I came here with a friend this past weekend. I haven't been here in years and it was just as delicious as it was back then, too. Ordered shrimp souvlaki and got some big pieces of shrimp. 5 pieces and I didn't feel ripped off at all. Olive tapenade is my love and I got some. Always delicious. Yummy falafels were also ordered. My friend and I left happy.

Location is tucked away in an industrial area. Parking might be tricky, particularly if you go weekday at lunchtime. They have a nice sized outdoor patio as well as inside seating. The servers are very attentive to refill water and prompt in taking your order. We had the gyro wrap and the swordfish wrap. The meat was PHENOMENAL, and the portion was hearty. Options for sides are salad, fruit salad or fries. Fruit salad was good, just fresh cut fruit (like most places, lots of melon), the fries were fresh. I also had the chicken lemon soup which was really yummy and the perfect starter.

Parking is on side street since this spot is in a commercial area. But honestly, it was easy to find a spot. Had a work lunch and made reservations for a group of 10. Surprised that they actually had a large table inside reserved for us. Came during Lunch rush and let me tell you, it was packed! But service was good and our food came timely considering how busy they were. The trio dip was amazing! It came with the softest pita bread I've ever had. Also came with pita chips (so good!) and white bread. I had the gyro plate and man! It was so flavorful and tender/moist. Did I mention their portions are huge?! Must try!

The restaurant is a bit run down and we would up sitting outside on a glorified picnic table. We spent way too much energy trying not to get bee stings. The service is friendly and reasonably efficient. The steak kebab was good. The meat was tender and flavorful. The vegetables were tasty but mushy. But the rice was mushy and tasteless and the salad was not much more than a pile of lettuce.

It was a warm day and I wanted something fresh. They have a decorative inside seating area but outside under a shaded area to enjoy the warm weather. I ordered the chicken souvlaki plate and was very satisfied. The salad was so fresh, and the rice, chicken and vegetable medley were delicious. Service staff was very attentive which made for a perfect lunch. I'll be back for sure

I recently had a fantastic experience at this Greek food establishment and was thrilled to have "discovered" it. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including more than one vegetarian option! all at reasonable prices with large portions (with this economy, yes, please!). The food had great flavor and seasoning, and the service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. I ordered: - A medium sampler with hummus, tirokaftreri (feta, metzithra, ricotta blended w/ peppers and olive oil), and melitzanosalata (Roasted eggplant whipped w/garlic, onion, parsley, roasted red pepper, herbs, vinegar and olive oil). - Briami (Vegetarian). A roasted vegetable dish featuring squash, zucchini, potatoes, and green beans in a light tomato sauce. - Combination. A variety plate featuring pastitsio, mousaka, spanakopita, & gyro with tomato and tzatziki, served with garlic fries. Please note that the establishment is located in an industrial area with limited parking. Additionally, it is closed on Sundays.

FOOD They take the best food from the Greek cuisine and bring it to you on a silver (or metal) platter. As a Greek, I always feel an immense of warmth when I see customers from all different cultures fellowshipping at an Athena Grill table over dolmades, spanakopita, and gyros. I highly recommend the Mezas Krasiou as your entree even though it is technically an appetizer. It's an all-star mix of the most popular items on the menu. Trust me that you'll be back and you can try out something that wasn't on the Krasiou! At the risk of sounding dramatic, it would be a crime against humanity if you came and didn't try the Athena Spread (kalamata olives blended with garlic and mayo)! It goes amazing with any of their breads, fries, or meats. SERVICE Amazing service from experienced and caring staff. You may even get a visit from the owner's son who runs the day-to-day operations and is a very capable manager. The excellent service continues even when the place fills up. AMBIANCE One of the most beautiful ambiance features of Athena Grill is the full tables of people on their work lunches, families, and patrons having a good time. The flagship color scheme of Greece with the sky and sea blue bordered by white symbolizing purity adorns the restaurant's interior walls and outdoor seating area. It's a refreshing setting that invites patrons to enjoy themselves as if they were eating in a waterfront cafe in Athens.
