The food at Athens Grill is excellent!!! I ordered lunch for my office and everyone was over the moon at how good their meals were. I ordered the Greek chicken on salad - as I have many times before - and it is huge, tasty, piquant, vinegar-y, filling and full of wonderful Greek island flavors!!! It made me want to stand up and dance in a circle like you see in the movies. Honestly, the salad dressing is to die for - and there was so much chicken on there, beautifully grilled and crispy, lemony and heavenly. The guy at the front desk - I assume - is the owner. He is old guy, short and with an easy smile. He works like he is a 20 year old. He clearly loves what he does and his cooking is at the top of its game. And his personality lights up the dining room. Honestly, I hope he lasts for 40 more years because I absolutely love him and his food!!! When I asked where in Greece he came from, he said Corfu. I replied that Corfu is NOT a part of Greece, it's part of Europe. He laughed so hard that he almost fell down. Truly a man with a sunny soul! I am absolutely happy to recommend Athens Grill to everyone!!! read more

My first time trying Athens Grill and I had a great experience! It's a family-owned restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and generous portions. We ordered the chicken kabob platter and the grilled chicken salad. Everything was fresh and well-seasoned, and the portions were definitely enough for leftovers. The only downside was that the chicken was a little dry, but it was still flavorful. Overall, I'd give it a 7.5/10. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu because I can see why this place has so many loyal customers. read more

Giving 2 stars because the food is okay. I called to order some food for pickup, came in and paid with a credit card. I handed the old man on the register my card and he charged 34% tip without my consent. Not cool! This is stealing. I will never return but if you decide to eat here , make sure to get a receipt if you order from this place. read more

GREAT Greek food in a cute environment. The man running the place is quite nice and to the point as well. This place feels like a local staple, with authentic food and generous portions. read more

I would love to they never answer their phone so you can place an order. Usually the food is ok.

The food at Athens Grill is always outstanding. We ordered from Athens Grill twice this week alone. The Greek salad with grilled chicken is the best I've ever had. The gyros are very filling and tasty. read more

The older guy working up front I presume is the owner, he was very nice and the gyro was really good! I would definitely recommend bringing a jacket as it was VERY COLD in there! read more

Athens Grill - Gyro - Greek Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

The food was amazing. We got the gyro platter and the fries were some of the crispiest fries I've ever had. The guy that was working there was super nice and friendly and he was working BY HIMSELF. The spinach pie (spanakopita) was also phenomenal, the food was definitely made with lots of love. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for simple but delicious Greek food. The inside was also very nice and I felt like I was in Greece. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Still great! The quality and freshness is still here. Ordered Greek salad and hummus. The best hummus in the DMV! The salad was fantastic! read more

Athens Grill - Greek salad and hummus - Greek Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Thursday 2/22/2024 I ordered in person and the food took about 20-30 min to be ready. I got the chicken souvlai platter (with rice, salad, pita) $14.95, "fat free" gyro $13.95, and 1 peice of baklava $6.50. My total was $39.08 which is way more than I expected but they have a 4% credit card fee so maybe that's why but idk. The "fat free" gyro was an extremely messy and disappointing dish. The gyro wasn't wrapped properly so once I got it out the foil it got real messy. The meat in gyro (lamb or beef) was terrible and to make it worse the tzatziki sauce left a bad feeling in my stomach. The only gyro I had before was from Naz's halal and it was significantly better than what I got here (DO NOT get this dish). The chicken souvlaki platter was solid but slightly overpriced due to the chicken portion. It was a huge disappointment compared to what I expected (there was just 4-5 chicken pieces on the skewer). Finally, the baklava which I can easily say was the best item I had BUT $6.50 for a small piece is ridiculous and flat out overpriced. I'm newer to baklava (only tried this and another) but I can say this is the best I've had: sweet and delicious. Overall, I had a pretty disappointing experience due to food taste, pricing, and portions and that's why I would not come back. read more

Outstanding!!! Great food and people!! Go there!! Got Gyro platter and it was legendary!! Bravo!!

The food is very good. However, the customer service is awful. I've called for takeout and was put on hold so many times only to be hung up on after 5 minutes on hold. read more

I was craving Greek food and we decided to try this place out. We got the gyro platter & side of green beans and it was good. There was only one older gentleman working the kitchen so it took a little longer than expected (about 25 min wait). But it was worth it. You can taste the love they put into their food. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes. read more

Amazing traditional Greek food!!! We had salmon, beef and lamb kebabs. Hidden gem! We highly recommend this place

This was an amazing dinner! At first, I thought it was going to be just a pick up spot to get your food and go, but there's actual nice little tables and chairs, the servers are very accommodating, the music is nice Greek instrumental and the food was really really good. I highly recommend it. read more

Always great Greek food - gyro salad or kabobs with rice. Phone in pickup. Always ready by time estimate. Generous portions

I went to this place today after craving Greek cuisine. This place did NOT disappoint. The beef souvlaki was excellent... not the little hard beef chunks that u usually get at Greek spots. The salad was AMAZING, and the pita bread was soooo good. I ordered the platter in a bed of rice (I don't even really like rice) but THIS RICE WAS SOOOO FLAVORFUL.? I will definitely be back. The gentleman behind the counter was busy but so very nice. I have to say, it was a lil hot up in there..... but the food made it worthwhile read more

The food was cooked fresh, the service was alright and the atmosphere was casual. We went there when it just opened. It was a one man operation. He was waiter, cashier and cook all in one. The portion was big and tasted okay. We wanted to try several different things but unavailable. So we ended up ordering the same lamb platter. I would've liked trying the desserts, but they looked like leftovers from the day before: stale and unappealing. So we skipped. Overall, it's better than fast food chains, but not something I would go out of my way for. read more

The gyro salad here is so so good - they don't do uber eats or DoorDash but you can call to pick up and they are pretty quick. They make everything fresh and with love. The service is friendly and I love the Greek vibes in the ambiance. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

Stepping into this restaurant was like stepping back into Greece! Upon walking into the restaurant, I was greeted by a vibrant older woman at the register. She asked me what I would like to order, and I replied "Chicken Souvlaki". You can choose rice or french fries, and I chose rice. I also ordered a lemonade to drink. After ordering I decided to eat inside, FYI you choose your own table. Upon waiting, I took in all of the artwork inside the restaurant while also soaking up the aroma of the food cooking and listening to the staff speak in their Native Greek tongue. It was warming to know that my food was being freshly made. A few minutes later a raspy voice yelled out, "Sir, chicken souvlaki!!!!" I went up to the counter and was handed a tray that was flooded with deliciousness! Grilled chicken, rice, greek salad topped with feta, and four pieces of pita bread! I also asked for tzatziki sauce on the side which I had to pay extra for, but it is so worth it! I began eating and I was in absolute paradise!!! The flavors were so rich and authentic! I dipped the pita in the tzatziki and my taste buds were singing!!! This food was very flavorful and you could taste the love that was put into it! I took my time eating and savored every bite. As I finished up my meal, more and more people stopped into the restaurant to place an order. I am glad to see this establishment getting so much business, with the level of quality food they are putting out they deserve it. Check this place out, you are in for a treat! Cheers to good eats! read more

I've been going to Athens Grill since it opened, food is excellent, realize it takes some time to prepare your food so if you are doing carryout call it in. Usually takes about 20-30 minutes but it's worth the wait read more

OMG!!!!!!!!! Their Gyro salad is to die for!!!! EVERYTHING I get from there is fabulous. If you haven't tried it run do not walk!!!!! SO BOMB!!!!!! Customer service is ALWAYS on point!!!!!! read more

The food is very good but the prices change often and it was $50 for two people to get lunch which seems a bit excessive. The hummus and pita was my favorite from the taste of Greece appetizer and the Gyro was very good. If the prices were a bit better we'd probably eat there more often. read more

Very good place for great food!!! I only gave it a 4 stars because I ordered a large order and it was so hard to distinguish whose plate was who's because there was no titles on the top of the boxes and the lamb looked like the beef platter. At the job it was a very difficult time trying to pair who ordered what. But overall food is great!! The amount of meat is not very much but just right!! The deserts are amazing!!! Will I come back? Of course!! The older gentlemen was too kind!! I never been at this restaurant before and I'm excited to try other menu options. I grew up with a greek neighbor and the food reminds me of authentic greek food!! Everyone else's food at the job looked amazing and though people may have ate the wrong meals? They still were satisfied with the quality of food!! read more
