Family run place. Where the brothers, who own it, remember your food preferences (love that!), always friendly, always serve my guilty pleasure- pitas with hummus - to every meal. Come for lunch too.
- This is by far the best Greek restaurant around, family run, they offer great pure food and are great people. If you want original Greek go here. Spiro and Teddy are the best host, love going there!💕
- They even sell genuine Greek oils and Greek kalamata olives. So pure not heavy like Italian oil or olives. What a great asset to dining out and taking a little Greek flavor home!
It's a great restaurant with a great staff. All you need is the specials trust me they are great every time. Check out they have Groupons as well.

Everything is good. Taking advantage of any specials is encouraged. The lightly fried pita chips are a treat.
Sandra BrueningMarch 20, 2011So much better than I thought it would be. The mussel special was amazing, the tilapia special great too. Service was excellent. Wish I hadn't waited so long to try Athena!- eric bornemannSeptember 6, 2020Good Greek food at decent prices. The lamb shank is well worth it on a cold night.
The gyro is good and the Greek salad is excellent. Try their windex if you dare!!
Michael RoseJanuary 15, 2012Steak with hot cherry peppers is delectably hot and delicious. Zucchini & goat cheese appetizer (special) was great.
Family run Greek with melt in your mouth lamb. Get it with their awesome tsaziki sauce. Jose rocks!
- Just get the specials they are always amazing. I have never got something off the menu.
