    Decent food... decent prices... great service. It's been awhile since my last visit and I was pleasantly surprised. I'd say both the food and service is much improved some my visit of several years back. The craft cocktails were an exciting surprise. From the outside and the order at the counter style of the food service one doesn't really expect a craft beer and cocktail experience... but it's there. My Manhattan was wonderful.

    If you're looking for gyros and/or craft beer this is the place! The gyro plate can easily feed two although they could do a better job with proportions (not enough pita bread) and it would be better with diced tomatoes versus slices. Diced cucumbers would be another good touch. For the beer, they have rare options both on tap and also in the fridge for purchase. They have flights as well! Rare for a restaurant but a pleasant surprise. The main reason for losing a star was due to the ambiance, or lack of one. It's just a big open room and was almost full so it was SO loud inside. We sat by the bathrooms just for a quieter experience, and I'm deaf in one ear! Good food and beer, but not a good place to relax during mealtime.

    I've past by this place a few times. Decided to try it! Glad we did. We got the gyro plate and smash burger - both were very tasty. The place also seemed like a fun place to hang out at. There was a pool table and bar area that several a huge selection of specialty beers along with other items.

    Athens is a great sport for lunch in Waunakee. The menu is a little odd mixing tacos and gyros and burgers, but they make good food, so I guess it's fine! You order at the counter and find your own seats, and food is delivered quickly so you can get in and out on your workday.

    A feast! Chicken pita combo and lemon chicken soup, Buffalo reserve old fashioned sweet, everything is wonderful

    Yum! First time here and everything was delicious, I was impressed by the beer selection and full bar. Beautiful inviting space. Doesn't look like much from the outside but don't be fooled, I cannot believe I haven't eaten here until now. You order at the counter and they give you a number and deliver food to your table, you have to approach the bar to order adult beverages. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Can't wait to go back soon. Be aware, they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

    Totally legit Greek food and beer selection. Beertender Jordan is super knowledgeable about beers and was very helpful picking out some great beers. We bought Drekker's Loki is my Homeboy Lactose DIPA and Bearded Iris Ever Clever DDH. Loki was from their beer fridge. They allow you to buy from the beer fridge and consume on premises if you like and that's cool. As far as food, great selection of Greek food. We had the Eggplant Gyro. Vegetarian and excellent. (I'm not vegetarian). Lots of indoor and outdoor seating available plus they've got a ping pong table! We'll definitely be back to this great restaurant/bar.

    Spacious dining area

    Believe it or not, the best gyros in the Madison metropolitan area can be found on County Highway M in the Town of Westport. Despite the remote location, the place is a popular destination for hungry diners. Even with it's popularity, service is prompt and always friendly. While the tender, flavor-packed gyros meat is the star of the show, I'm also a fan of the creamy, homemade tzatziki sauce. It's a satisfying meal for the bargain price of $6.49.

    Classic gyro - no spice no tomatoes.  For $2 more you can get extra meat but what u see is good enough.

    Few people know what a bierock is. I saw the sign as soon as we pulled into the parking lot and…read moreknew we had to investigate. I left hubby with no option other than stopping for lunch or at least ordering some food to go. I lived in Kansas as a teenager and fondly remember discovering bierocks and later making them for my own family. I wish we were locals because not only are the bierocks good, but this place has a fun vibe that would definitely bring us back. It was a game day when we stopped, and there was a fair crowd cheering on their favorite Wisconsin team. We ordered a Classic with Bavarian seasoning and a Rosemary Lamb Bierock to go along with some jalapeño poppers. I really enjoyed the Classic with the additional seasoning. It gave it an added boost of flavor. My husband was pleased with the Rosemary Lamb. Each came with chips and a pickle. Next time, I hope we can stop in and stay for a cocktail or craft beer as well.

Place was not busy and our order was messed up -- ingredients and sides weren't correct or were missing -- which is the reason for 3 stars. We did get comped one meal due to the fact that an entire meal for our son wasn't made and we had to wait another 15 minutes for it to be cooked. Overall, I'd like to try this place again to see if it can regain some stars and my confidence in the service.

First thing is they have touch tunes so you can set your own vibes for the night. The decor and lighting is perfect. A lot of velvet seating and gold accents. It is a dog friendly space which is kind of random for a cocktail bar but I don't mind it. I pet 4 dogs. The bartenders were super nice. I ordered the "Yes you can buy me love" which was Espolon Tequila, Strawberry, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Coconut Milk, Mint, Sugar Rim. It was really good. I also tried my husband's "Stuck in a Snowbank" which was state line coffee liqueur, bourbon cream, frangelico, cold brew. It basically tasted like a coffee that was a little sweeter. All the cocktails were great. Again I'm so glad we stumbled across this stop because even the bar goers were super nice.

The lounge has a moody vibe that you really wouldn't guess from the outside. It's the perfect place to escape the cold and warm up with a cozy cocktail. They also change their cocktail menu seasonally, offering something a little fun for each season. It's evident the owners care about the community, as they are frequently offering events to support local providers (River Valley Food Pantry on the night we were there), and have specials for those who we couldn't be without (hello nurses and teachers). They're also dog friendly!
