    a view of a restaurant from the dining area
    Jesse S.

    Wow has it been 11 years now that I have been coming to this place. I stop coming here during Covid. There have been a lot of changes since then especially with new staff and they close a little bit early. But still their breakfast is one of the best in selection that I have tried. I do recommend the burgers and the grill cheese. Look out for their selection of deserts they have a pretty good selection too. The vibes here among the owner and staff has shears been good. That is all. Chief Ships sink because they take on water don't take on water for those that want to sink you.

    This is listed as a coney island, but it is more elevated than the traditional cony island. The food is good and they serve nice portions. The menu is also vast. They have so many choices for breakfast. Their salads are huge. You will leave full. The atmosphere looks newer and modern. Service was good. The prices are average.

    Location - Athenian is WEST of where the map shows.

    Great breakfast- Extra fast! Western Omlette was great, and it arrived in just 10 minutes. The entire staff was helpful- and helping each other. I was very impressed. Note: yelp map is off- go WEST about 1/4 mile to Athenian- on north side.

    Athenian Balsamic Grilled Steak salad with side of pita.

    So much more than a basic coney. Beautiful salads, wide range of pancake creations like pineapple upside down cake and cinnamon roll. Fast, friendly service, very clean with an upscale modern interior. Added to my lunch spot list when life takes me out to Novi.

    Big burger, with egg and corned beef

    The family and I visited Athenian sometime last week and I was very impressed. The place was about 70 percent full and they still had some social distancing guideline in place. We got seated in about 10 minutes and just in times as A line formed outside just as we were seated. The food arrived extremely fast, like 5 minutes after the waitress left, our salads arrived and about 3 minutes after that the food arrived, all of it. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was pretty good, fries were great, moist and crispy. My burger was really good but I could tell that if I ate it alone it was just a tad bit dry. I ordered it medium and it arrived well done. Although it was a bit dry, it was still pretty good as it had a good flavor and of course a sunny side up egg and corned beef on top is going to help your moisture problem. But I definitely enjoyed the food overall, and I will return to try out the breakfast menu and other items.

    Greek salad w/Chicken

    Our nostalgia of Detroit coney islands brought us in and the food did not disappoint. The portions are large and food is delicious. I got the gyro which was perfection! I especially like the tahini sauce. The Greek salad and lentil soup were good too. The service was top notch and they consistently checked in on our large party. Athenian is located in a busy shopping plaza with ample parking. Great lunch spot that is super budget friendly. Would come back here next trip for sure!

    Greek salad with grille chicken and pita bread

    Went there 3 times, 2 for breakfast and once for lunch. The breakfast was just ok. The prices are quite high in comparison to the final result. the taste was just average, nothing standing out. Tried few items from their menu, omelets, pancakes, eggs and French toast. The best part of all was the sourdough bread and the coffee, this one is really good. Lunch was much better than breakfast. We got a Greek salad and grilled chicken with a side of pita, and the gyro with fries. The portions were very good and everything tasted good. The service was just ok, nothing stood out.

Was looking for a…read moreplace that wasn't too over the top as we really wanted some basic breakfast stuff and ended up here. AMBIENCE - I'd say this was a nicer version of your typical Coney. A good 20-25 tables, not great for huge groups, but a good size no doubt. This place was packed, though that should have been expected on a Sunday morning. SERVICE - our server was friendly and attentive. We had a baby dining with us and she seemed to take a shining to the little one - always a nice touch. MENU - this place is only open until 2-3pm, so they primarily focus on breakfast items and I would say lighter lunch fare such as salads and sandwiches. The breakfast selection was pretty diverse though, including a number of breakfast bowls, benedicts and omelettes to choose from. FOOD - My wife got the salmon benedict, while I opted to try their Breton Bay Poutine which was short ribs with scrambled eggs, cheese, cripsy onions and gravy over fries. We also tried the creme brulee french toast, which we shared with the table. My wife liked her benedict and my poutine was good, though I feel like the description of the item was better than the execution. It was still good, though I think my expectations may have been too high on this one. The creme brulee french toast was not at all what I imagined. It seemed somewhat like a slice of tres leches cake, and was about as big as a slice. I would not get that again. OVERALL - good not great. I can appreciate that this place had some creative options while not breaking the bank. Good if you're in the area already, though I'm not sure I'd make a special trip out to this place.

We had started off with a mixed board charcuterie board which held an assortment of different cheeses, meats, breads, and veggies. This board was underwhelming; for $20, it felt poor quality-wise. The breads felt stale, and the vegetables were sad and tasted horrible. Putting aside the negative comments and the absolutely blazing campfire behind my seat, my service was amazing. We had Rayna Rose serve us, and she was so kind, friendly, and beautiful. She showed professionalism while providing a comforting tone and attitude to the total environment. While observing her with other tables, I saw that she not only treated everyone with the same kindness and respect but really put her best effort into her work and service. After around 30 minutes of waiting, our entrées came out. I ordered their signature Oak burger, and my sister ordered the sirloin entrée. My burger came out with soggy buns, stale fries that weren't crispy, and ketchup that was average. My sister's sirloin was bland, dry, and the balsamic glaze made the overall dish sour, and not in a good way. We were able to finish the soggy burger as a team, but the sirloin was unbearable. Overall, I give this place a 5/10.

Very well kept / maintained. Server was very friendly and attentive. Other staff members were on-point when refilling our drinks and removing empty dishes from the table. We ordered the Wild Mushroom Scramble and the Crab Cake Breakfast Benedict. Wild Mushroom Scramble - wild mushroom blend, asparagus, onions, and swiss cheese $13.50. Crab Cake Benedict - premium house made crab cakes with soft poached eggs over toasted English Muffin, topped with hollandaise $14.75. Both meals were good as far as flavor and quality. Only downside - the food wasn't very warm for as quickly as we received our food. As mentioned earlier in the review, this restaurant was on the smaller side and once it filled up with patrons, the noise level also increased.
