I have been here before; and maybe I liked the experience - maybe I didn't. It doesn't matter now, because safely I can say I LOVE IT! For starters our server was literally THE "ray of sunshine" as told in The BN. She was friendly, personable, accommodating and funny. Apparently she only works on Mondays, so... the best day to go is a Monday. I had the Turkey Rice Soup to start, and it was a tad too salty - but not bad at all - I ate it. I ordered a Farmers Cheese Pierogi - which was large and great tasting (though I might suggest some salt on the onion sautés). My main entree was Cabbage Rolls, Stuffed Cabbage, Golabki, or Pigs in a Blanket if you will. They were very big; you get served two and I had to take one home. The sauce was perfect, and not too runny. My choice of potato was Potato Salad (which was over-seasoned) and corn was my vegetable. There was a garlic roll as well. My sister enjoyed her "breakfast for dinner selection" of Corned Beef Hash and Eggs, however, the potatoes were kind of "off" - I could not make out the spice that was creating the taste. She really liked the hash. My sisters friend picked the restaurant for our monthly dine outing - because she liked the Chicken Souvlaki Salad. This time she got the dinner and she really enjoyed it. I'd have liked to have some dessert, but I was stuffed. I highly recommend the restaurant, and on any day of the week you can enjoy that. However, on a Monday you get to enjoy the "ray of Sunshine" as well. read more

I recommended this place to some family and friends because I enjoyed my chicken souvlaki dinner I have ordered through door dash, the food was very good and a nice size portion. about a week later my niece and I were together and she called and placed an order for pickup, she stated that she was allergic to green peppers and please make sure they did not put any on her chicken souvlaki salad and no tomatos either. When she went to pick up her order she looked inside the container and seen there were tomatos on the salad, she told the waitress that she ordered no tomatoes or green peppers, the waitress took the container in the back pulled the tomatos off and gave it back to her, my niece asked if she could have another salad made because she didn't want to take a chance of some still remaining. She was told no because the kitchen was closing and there wasn't enough time. It was 2:35 and they closed at 3 pm, the place was still full of people eating, they had time to remake her food correctly. They overcharged her and told her the prices went up and did not give her a reciept. When she got home and started eating her salad, she had an allergic reaction, green peppers were also in the salad, she had to use her epipen. She took pictures of the remaining salad with the peppers in it and called the restaurant, of course by now they were closed so she was not able to speak to the owner/manager and was told that they would have the manager call her the next day, after waiting a few days and calling several times, still unable to speak with the owner, she went there. The owner was VERY rude and was laughing about it making excuses about having different cooks and orders get screwed up, my niece told her she had an allergic reaction and had to use her epipen and said she could have died, The owner replied "PEOPLE DIE EVERYDAY". Shocked by that response and her rudeness my niece said she was calling her lawyer, and the owner's reply was give me his name I will call him. I am so sorry I recommended this place to her and others, despite the food being good that I had, customer service is far more important and I can not order from here again. (they did reimburse her for her dinner) read more

Chicken souvlaki salads are the bomb dot com. If you get them you have to get their dill sauce. It's amazing.

Great service, nice atmosphere, amazing food, good prices, very convenient .... my best dish is chicken soulvaki breakfast or just the meal itself (highly recommended) folks!!! read more

I have eaten there twice, once for dinner and once for brunch. The dinner was great all that you could want from a local Greek restaurant. The brunch was easily the worst meal I have ever been served . I got the eggs Benedict and it was gross, the "Canadian bacon" was greyish colored and snapped like a piece of rubbery .....something. The roll was burnt and soggy and the eggs smelled weird. I only ate two bites of it and had a terrible stomach ache for the rest of he day. All I can say about this place is be careful! I almost forgot about the hair that was in my meal that was the icing on the cake read more

I am very impressed with the open gyros. I haven't had those in a while since I've first got here. The salad, peta bread, the beef and lamb meat are really pretty damn good!! Next time I go and order that plate, I will be ordering extra meat. The price isn't costly at all and they do give you very healthy servings for your money. read more

Remember coming here for breakfast almost every Sunday morning growing up and while I don't frequent Athens weekly like when I was a kid, whenever I come back and order Breakfast Special #2 I'm always taken back to my youth and the breakfast doesn't disappoint: the homefries just might be my favorite in the area, the bacon is crispy, and the toast is toasted just the way I like it: has a crunch to it, but never burnt read more

Pretty good breakfast food! I usually go here with my mom! Last time I was here our waitress was great and prompt and our order was good!

Well folks the price of souvlaki went up 16% and the quality went down about 30%. The Greek dressing has been replaced with cheap Italian dressing, and my favorite item on the menu is now of dubious quality. What's worse is that this means the Greek fries are now soaked in Italian dressing as well. Disgusting. Time to find a new Greek restaurant. read more

Went here for lunch today and it was great. We ordered chicken souvlaki, chicken finger sub and kids Mac and cheese. All were fresh and delicious! Waitress was extremely nice. Food is very reasonable. We'll be back when in town. read more

Horrible, don't go! Really bad food that had to be sent back not once but 2x. Scarce wait staff ( we were one of two tables) and argumentative manager that was reluctant to "comp" my food that was sent back and back and left uneaten. There are a million greek places in this area, find another one! read more

Best open chicken. Bar none. Right up the road from my office and when I call in an order it's always ready for pickup. And any special orders are always right. Old reliable! read more

Used to enjoy their food for takeout. The last few times it has not been good. The chicken was Overcooked and dry. The dressing is very good. Salad was not out a bag which was nice. I do like their breakfast specials. Not sure I would every order the chicken souvlaki again. read more

A local watering hole for lower middle class Trump supporters and their grandkids. I used to come here for their breakfast skillets which they no longer serve, and it seems every time I come in they've removed something else or are out of what I wanted. I've had a number of screwed up takeout orders only to find out once I've driven all the way back to work, and each time the hostess has been very rude and seemingly annoyed with me. Waitresses are generally friendly but forgetful and the service can be pretty slow at times. Kudos for how quick they can turn over tables though, the parking lot can be packed and every table seated but I've never waited longer than a few minutes for a table. read more

I had the gyro souvlaki and carrot cake. The gyro meat was tender, juicy, and very good. The souvlaki over all was good but not great and the pita was quite delicious. The Greek dressing was lack luster but wasn't a bad meal. My total came to $18 and some change which I thought was slightly higher than expected but I will order from there again in the future. read more

Food is always good have eaten here plenty of times always great service chicken soulvochi is delish

You really can't go wrong here. They have a very diversified menu. I'd recommend just about everything on the menu as I've tried all of them. My husband always gets the slouvaki and the angelemono (um the chicken and rice) soup-- which is the best! I only had one meal there I didn't like and that was the potato pancakes which were huge but very hard and tasteless. The stuffed cabbage is good, the liver is good, the breakfast's are huge and always delicious. I ordered the meatloaf once and it was fantastic, ordered it the next time and it was good, but not the same. Not sure if the chef left or what but it was still good. The service is excellent, and plenty of parking. There isn't much negative to say about Athens, it's great. read more

The chicken souvlaki was nasty they put toooooo much cheese in mines and they didn't even give me the oil for the salad it was some different kind of sauce . I will never go there again "I'm Good". read more

Just had breakast and it was average and pricey for the quality. Service was good. Hostess as I cashed out was not very friendly, looked miserable and snatched the check out of my hand as was trying to cash out...guess she was having bad day? She was snippy to the bus boy too who by the way was so nice. Too many other places with friendly staff and better food...I won't be back. read more

Staff wasn't the greatest or friendliest, but the food was surprisingly delicious. Would definitely go again if in the area but not worth driving too. read more

Let me start by saying this is not something I do...Ok so my friends and I have eaten here often. But it seems that since the restaurant has changed ownership or management; whichever, the quality and cleanliness has dropped off. I stopped getting my Chicken Slovaki salad dinners from them because of the pool of water in the bottom of the tray. You would think it was from the steam from the heat of the chicken...nope; a literal pool of water to the point the lettuce was withered. Had I poured the water into a cup it could have easily measured 1/2 a cup...there's not that much steam coming from hot meat. We were there recently for breakfast (4/18/2019). I sent my coffee back 3 times because the cup wasn't clean. We all had the steak and eggs. My steak was a little over cooked and the size you would give a child. The size that says; "here you go...just enough to taste but not enough to waste". When the young lady came out to clean the tables between guest, the cloth she used was just filthy. There was no disinfectant spray used, just the dirty cloth that was taken from table to table...UGH. There were pieces of food on the floor that remain there throughout our visit and was present upon arrival and while our server was very nice, they were clearly understaffed. Something very strange that was noticed by one of my friends, was the fact that, EVERY person of color dining at this time received their coffee/tea in an almost square cup while all OTHER patrons received their hot beverage in a large typical round mug like cup with the name ATHENS on it....wonder why that is??? I'm not saying this establishment is low-key racist, we just found it strange that the cups where different. Keeping in mind this was throughout the establishment...not just to people in booths or those at tables verses some seated at the counter...throughout the restaurant. Will this stop me from eating there....the service was decent the food was ok so...maybe. Especially when I know I can get better tasting food at other establishments read more

I enjoyed there chicken fingers and french toast, have pretty good waffles. I place to come every once and a while.

Great little place to grab a bite. Waitresses are always friendly and food is always delicious!

Food good, owners seem very stuffy. Nasty looks on their faces. They definitely need a bus person. Waitress can't be expected to serve and clear and set for that matter. Weekends are packed. Recommend a bus person for weekends!!!!! Our waitress Megan was supurb. She keeps me going back there. read more

great eggs benedict- lots of food, reasonable price could use some help on the coffee great staff read more

Great meal today, typical Greek Diner breakfast -delicious. What stood out was the service. Our food took a little longer than usual because the kitchen gave away my omlette. Not a huge deal, mistakes happen, we didn't complain. Our waitress comped our drinks and discounted our bill. It wasn't her fault and she didn't have to. I have been there before and will continue to go back. read more

This place is Great. The portions are huge and are always the way you ordered it. The servers are all very friendly. The breakfasts are good and hot, just like the coffee. We always go there for a great breakfast.! read more

They should change their name to Nickel & Dime! We hadn't been in a while and quickly remembered why we stopped going. They charge you for everything, won't let you substitute anything. Their kids menu is horrible! Was going to order a chicken souvlaki pita and the waitress said I would have to pay extra for Tzatziki...really??? Who serves a chicken souvlaki pita and doesn't give you Tzatziki? I've been to many Greek restaurants and never had to pay extra. read more

Seriously the best breakfast ever! I love their Greek skillet. I don't even live in Buffalo, or New York for that matter. But when I do travel there, we always stop! Yum! read more

Best place for mid-day breakfast.Had the souvlaki breakfast and the cousin had the bacon and eggs with toast.We both thought the home fries were superb with onions.Not many places do home fries the right way.Waitress was very good and we didn't wait long at lunch time. read more

This place is a hidden gem. It's pretty much never busy, but the food is great and cheap, portions are large and the service is fast and friendly. Their greek breakfast skillet is delicious! read more

I've been here many times before but today was an experience that would deter me from returning again. I went to Athens today with my sister and brother and received less than acceptable customer service. For breakfast both my sister and brother ordered hash browns as a part of their meal. My sister also ordered a side of french toast. While eating, my sister found a blonde hair in her hash browns and had the waitress take the plate back. She did not want to order anything else at this point. Not knowing if the hair landed in the hash browns when it was being cooked or when brought to the table, my brother no longer wanted his food either. When the bill came we were charged for both my brother's full meal and my sister's french toast. We asked that they remove my the french toast and my brother's meal from the bill. The waitress told us that there was nothing wrong with my brother's meal or the french toast so it would not be taken off of the bill. When we asked for a manager we were told that she was not in and there was nothing else they could do for us. The waitress then told us that we either had to pay or they would call the police. We paid the bill but this is no way any customer should ever be treated. We were not asking for a free meal but simply asked not to be charged for the food we did not eat. read more

the food was really great liver and bacon with gravy cooked just right good service the souvlacki dinner was very very good too
