Delicious simple Greek food that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. Portions are big. Service is quick. Small place so could have difficulty in finding a place to sit and eat. Loved their gyros . For vegan items, falafel is one of the best I had. But I didn’t like the vegan ball (tasted more like a beyond ball which I don’t like personally, so you might like this if you like Beyond meat products). The staff is nice and professional. Thank you for your attention:)

Popped in because my.wife adores spanakopita, and there’s was top notch. We ended up sharing the Greek sausage platter and you really couldn’t ask for better. The service was fast and friendly, and its.made from an old two story cottage. If you want Greek with a great vibe, check the place out. It’s tucked in behind the laundromat

Yummm! We stopped in at 1 pm on Sunday, 11/3/24. Our food came out pretty quickly! You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. There was limited seating upstairs, and some more seating outside. It was a lovely day, so we ate outside!
Here’s what I had:
– Hummus ($7): Suuuuper good. The pita was delicious.
– Tzatziki ($7): Fine, I wouldn’t get it again.
– Classic Gyro Combo with Fries and a Drink ($13): Great deal! The gyro was so tasty and so were the fries.
Generous portions at a very reasonable price! So delicious!

I was passing through the area and needed food that met the dietary restrictions of our group of 4. There were options that made everyone happy. The food was served quickly and the staff was friendly and helpful.
The perfect health department score and top notch service really made this place stand out… the food made it unforgettable. Thanks for great service and a great meal.

I love Athenian Grill. The food is excellent. One of the most consistent restaurants I’ve ever been to. The gyros are killer and the falafel is so good. I eat here once a month at least and could easily eat here three times a week lol. One of my favorite places to grab a bite. Great service as well.

Where do I even begin? The service! My goodness, it was simply phenomenal. It was truly at the highest level. Every single person we interacted with was so warm and attentive, making us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we walked in. They really went above and beyond!
And the food was perfectly fine, you know? Everything we ordered was decent, and it was all totally acceptable. We all agreed that the meal was okay.
And what about the prices? They were pretty standard, about what you would expect for a place like that. We felt the cost was fair for what we got.
The atmosphere itself was perfectly fine, you know? It was comfortable and pleasant, though honestly, it was the people and that stellar service that truly made the place shine.
All in all, it was just a fantastic experience, and we would happily go back in a heartbeat!

Got takeaway lunch for my wife and I today. I got the classic gyro, add feta and she got the gyro bowl with 2 sides and hummus.
The gyro was a hearty portion and very tasty, but it would have been nice to have the feta broken up instead of in one solid triangle. It was also very oily and got really messy towards the end.
The gyro bowl was good but the sides and hummus left a little to be desired. The sides picked were the lemon potatoes which were decent, and the greens beans which were very soft and could easily have been canned. The hummus was also very lemony, which was add, not terrible but not our favorite.
All in all will try again but with other side options. Cute and bright on the inside as well!

It was a small two story building where the limited seating was upstairs. The staff was friendly and quick. The menu was expansive enough to feed a lot of people. The appetizers, salad, and one meal was good. My meal was sub par, tasting like numerous things I’ve eaten before out of a high school cafeteria. It was the Mousakka plate. Don’t get me wrong, it was light and filling but it didn’t carry anything with it that was new or exceptionally delicious. Everything else was fantastic.

I was so thrilled to find great Greek food!! The folks here are just a joy to talk to, and they are rightfully proud of the food! My husband had mentioned he wanted gyros earlier in the day, so we couldn’t pass up stopping at Athenian Grill. I got the falafel on pita with tzatziki sauce (my favorite part!). It was perfect! Their lemon potatoes are absolutely delicious! Do not miss out on those potatoes! We split some grilled veggies, which were fresh, and really topped off our meal. We both look forward to going back as soon as possible! It’s so good we will drive the 45minutes from our place because it’s that good! There’s seating upstairs, and the bathroom is so clean. I cannot recommend this Grill enough. They even have a drive through if you need to grab food on the go. Great place, all around!
