When we’re in Florida we go to the Athenian almost every Sunday after church for brunch. Their breakfasts are really good and abundant, and 1 fluffy pancake is enough, as it fills the plate and is almost 1/2″ thick. Lunch is very good, too. Homemade food, not out of a can. The atmosphere is down-home, well-worn and comfortable. The servers are very friendly.

While at a local pharmacy on Ariana Street, I asked the pharmacist to recommend a good place for lunch and he said the Athenian Restaurant, located across the street in the Central Park Plaza. The restaurant’s address is 1215 Ariana Street, in Lakeland and it can be found at the extreme east end of the strip mall. Open from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. This is a relatively small restaurant. I had the Gyro Sandwich which is gyros, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce, wrapped in a toasted pita. I added a side of fries and an unsweetened tea. It was delicious! My daughter had the Combination of Both with Toasted Pita. This consisted of toasted pita with bowls of Tzatziki and their home-made Humus. She said that it was delicious and that she would order it again! The wait staff was friendly and helpful, easily answering our questions about the menu. The Pharmacist described this place as a “hole-in-the-wall” and that it was his favorite. Athenian restaurant is a favorite of ours, too!

I ordered a gyro with small Greek salad ($15) and a pork souvlaki sandwich ($10) made into a basket ($6) which is supposed to fries and coleslaw. The food tasted decently. But the portions were pretty small compared to cost. We also did not receive the coleslaw. Paid $40 with tip for two people’s lunch. They also up charge for paying with a card.

10-15 ladies in my community go to breakfast once a month and Athenian is one of our favorites! Their food is very good, fair priced, lovely waitresses. We were just there this morning! (13 of us)

Update:
Service is slow, but food is getting better or it’s growing on me. Main customers are of the older generation which is a nice change of screaming kids. Gave more stars because like I said food is growing on me. Looking for something a little different this is the place. Have no doubt we will be back

Going to talk about the good, before the bad. Small place, good music, food was ok, and they had bendy straws. It’s some time since I have used a bendy straw, the memories that go with something so simple. Now the bad, be prepared to wait, they are super slow. 2 waitresses, one of them is very impatient, sometimes it takes me a minute to process what people say and she was getting angry, it could be just how she is, but being a server you need patience & she has none. Made this experience very unhappy.

This little hole in the wall is a true gem had a craving for some gyros.. we’re not disappointed the food was excellent, I only gave the atmosphere a four-star because it’s a very simple setting nothing fancy. Will definitely come back here again!

Great place to eat for Breakfast and lunch! Reasonably priced! Clean!!! This is a wonderful local restaurant of Lakeland Florida. If you are looking for a small non food chain, Grannie style cooking that fills you to the rim, this is it!!
These people know their cooking and Service as well! Highly recommend you try this restaurant!

I work nearby, and really had a craving for a gyro. The reviews looked promising so I decided to stop by. The staff were really friendly, the place is a little outdated..but appeared clean enough. The Gyro was hands down one of the best I’ve had, but the fries tasted freezer burnt and had absolutely no seasoning or salt whatsoever. I paid about 17-18$ for a gyro and hand full of fries/ can’t say it was worth it.
