Pretty great. I ordered a gyro and side pasta salad online. Easy to order online and I just walked into pick up my order. The gyro was incredible and the pasta salad was pretty good, a little too many olives but I'm not the biggest fan of olives so that's on me. Restaurant was clean. Always love getting food here! read more

I had the Gyro sandwich which was very filling and delicious! Plenty of food for the money the Greek salad and dressing was also delicious. Highly recommend this place for quick Greek food. Nice to be able to get in and get out quickly for lunch. read more

Pretty good, but nothing extraordinary. The falafel was soft, but fine. The chicken pita was absolutely loaded with chicken, but prices still seem a bit high for gyros. Service was friendly, but not overly attentive. read more

Sad to see how this place has declined from its beginnings in the Foothills Mall. Limited gluten free items and the one lamb dish of kabobs was flavorless, dry and tasted like cardboard. Not sure it was even lamb. The tzatziki tasted like it was out of a jar or was just mostly mayo with little or no cucumbers or garlic and the potato wedges were just meh. Will not go back, especially since there was little concern when we told our waiter the kabobs were inedible and we were taking them to our dogs. read more

Flavorless, dry chicken, and crumbly gyro meat. The pitas were dry, the vegetables were old, the wait staff looked like they did not want to be there (on their phones the whole time) this place was good about 7 years ago but it's garbage now. read more

Bussing, bussing! Loved the catch bag idea for the bits that fall out of the gyro. Saved my pants from getting dirty!

Ordered take out falafel gyro and it was great for a quick bite! Battered fries were hot to order and filling. Yum!

The food is amazing. My wife and I showed up 30 minutes before closing. The waitress was very kind and didn't mind at all. We each ordered the gyro platter with the lamb/beef mix. I had the potato wedges as a side and honestly everything blew us away. The potato wedges had a ton of good seasoning and flavor. The gyros were loaded and juicy. Great place and highly recommend. read more

People rave about the fries here so I had to try them. I was curious so I asked the waitress how they prepare the fries and she said they come frozen they tasted ok but I don't understand the hype. They taste like they have a very light batter on them that increases the surface area to make them more crispy (but also more oily). The falafel salad costs like $17 but they only give you 4 little falafels! Might as well get the meat! I get that inflation is rampant but does this salad look like it's worth $17??? Only giving it 3 stars for the nice waitress who took my takeout order. read more

Cafe Athens - Salad with falafel - Greek Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

This was my first time eating at Cafe Athens. The atmosphere had a pretty Greek decor to it. Service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food, on the other hand, was just ok. We found their food to be pretty bland across the board. Their baklava was YUMMMY. Their portions were very generous. We ordered the sample platter, beef and chicken gyro, BBQ Chicken pizza, and a salad. The chicken gyro was extremely soggy. The chicken BBQ pizza had way too much chicken on it. My husband weighed 2 slices when we got home, and they weighed over a pound. LOL! We might give them a try again, but we're not rushing to go back. We'll see.... read more

The Greek food is good, the gyro meat is not too greasy. I crave spanakopita and this place hits the spot. The service is very friendly and the prices are reasonable. read more

Service was super quick. I came on a Monday around 4PM and it's pretty slow. Waitress was friendly. They will sit you first. Parking was easy lots of spaces. I was looking to relax but the cooks/workers were watching videos on their phone loudly and it was very distracting Feta on the rice was a nice twist. The size was pretty big I had leftovers. I ordered the chicken Souvlaki kabob platter. The chicken was juicy and seasoned nice. Waitress was so nice. She kept checking up on me and just had a really nice demeanor. The restaurant is very open, a lot of natural light. I saw someone working here which I would agree would be a nice place as long as it's slow and the workers on blasting their phones lolol. read more

Wow. So good! Grew up in Cyprus and well familiar w Greek cuisine. This is our new favourite restaurant! Thank you!!

Sadly I won't be returning. Ordered 2 platters, one with lamb and the other with beef. Dry and tasteless. Salad had no dressing and tiny cup of tzatziki. Lots of ice berg lettuce and 1 slice of tomato. read more

The service was awesome. We were seated and served promptly and with a great server. The fries were really good. Disappointed there was no saganaki on the menu. The olives were very weird and gross and I tried two to be sure I didn't get a fluke bad one. I usually love Greek olives. The feta was not the greatest, chunks would have been better. The gyro meat on my salad could have been slightly more browned as it was mushy but it still tasted good. Portions were decent. The tzatziki and salad were on point. I'd try a different Mediterranean restaurant next time. read more

This was absolutely terrible! I recommend avoiding this place at any cost. I wouldn't eat here if it was the last place on earth. I've worked at many Greek owned restaurants in Detroit, and was very excited to look over the menu. So much so, my boyfriend and I spent well over $160 on our carry out. It smelled delicious on the way back to our hotel, which only made me even more excited for our feast! Hummus, bland. Pita, bland. No flavor to the rice. No dressing for my "Greek" salad. The veggies in the salad were even bad. I could go on Nothing I ordered was barely even edible.So, please, as a person with lots of authentic Greek to food experience, working for people actually FROM GREECE, don't eat here. Mediterranean food is known for it's rich flavor. And this shit fell lower than 0. read more

We stopped in for lunch while running some errands in Loveland. Service was friendly and the food was very good. Everything was served at the proper temperature and portion sizes were good. read more

I love the food. The price has gone up a lot and I get it. Everything has and I don't have a problem with it. What I do have a problem with is $4.69 for a glass of tea. Come on it's water and a tea bag. Please rethink this. read more

Unpleasantly surprised to find that what they called roasted chicken was a scoop of dry shredded white meat. Plus the roasted potatoes were flavorless. Not the Greek style I'm used to. Very disappointing. The soup was ok though. read more

Had a gryo. Meat was very good, onions were crisp and fresh, but there was way too much sauce and so it made it all very soggy. Service was not very good. The host, who also was our server, made us feel like we were interrupting his day. Moderate quality, thus overpriced food + bad service = lost customer read more

Large portions of great food. A side salad is almost a meal. I had the Gyro Loukaniko (sausage) and my wife had the souvlaki style gyro. Both were excellent and flavorful. The pita bread was greasy and soft, the onion rings were crisp tasty. Come hungry! read more

I never leave reviews but I wish I had read what I'm about to write before deciding to go here. I think their food is bought in bulk from Costco and heated up in the kitchen. It's not restaurant quality- I'm actually very confused because the photos looked great but what came out was totally different. The chicken looked like it came from a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and the veggies were steamed broccoli and carrots from a frozen bag. The hummus could have been used to tile a floor it was so thick and flavorless. Again I never leave reviews but I wish I would have known this before- the food was the worst food experience I've ever had. The only thing good were the servers who were kind and working hard so I respect that- but overall I would avoid dining here. read more

Every time I have gone in the past, this place has always been great. This last time though, their sweet tea was rancid, the calamari was rubbery, and the souvlaki euros were beyond soggy. Me and the people I ended up going with all got food poisoning for the great price of $75. Not a good time. 2 stars for being good every time before this. Think they need a health code check... read more

The good: solid lunch spot for a quick and fresh tasting meal. The gyros salad is large, hearty, and healthy especially for the hose of us who prioritize high protein/low carb meals. The bad: the interior and menu need a serious renovation. The restaurant feels like an outdated 90s diner that is only catering to senior citizens. At a minimum they need to refresh the decor, the tables, and get the caddies with condiments and sugar packets off of the tables. What is with the huge, unused bar counter space at the front of the restaurant? The food and menu need help, too. We don't need a 2 page, small font menu to explore how many ways you can serve us gyros meat. Cut it down and make it look special. The food is lazy, too. My kid won't even eat the soggy, pathetic, precociously frozen fries. Try harder to make some good hand cut fries to serve with a gyros wrap. The hummus looks and tastes like any you would buy from a supermarket. If you're a Mediterranean restaurant maybe try to make some awesome homemade hummus for a table to share. It's fresh, warm, has a drizzle of oil and fresh herbs on top and it's served with some warm pita and veggies. Then you tell us how good your homemade hummus is right on top of your menu. Anyway, this place clearly isn't trying at all. I could go on. They do make a solid gyros salad so I go for lunch sometimes. read more

Really really wanted to like this place....and I believe they actually may be better than my recent experience. Service was excellent and prompt. The restaurant was clean, with a decent atmosphere. I ordered a beer and it came right away...ok selection. I then ordered Souvlaki Kabob Platter with chicken...so chicken may not be in the menu (I can't remember), and may be the reason it was very dry and not really edible. The flavors may have been ok, but really couldn't and didn't eat it. The salad that came along with it was ok, but didn't finish it. I guess what was annoying was that the kitchen staff was horsing around which may have lead to the extra dry chicken. I ordered fries...they were coated. Nothing wrong with them...that's just not the way I want my fries. Also ordered dolmades...I'm sure they weren't, but tasted like they were microwaved as the stuck to the paper on the plate and fell apart. Not a great experience. I'll try them again and see if this was just a fluke read more

Been going here for years! Every time it's amazing and delicious! Sampler platter and the gyro meal is a must! Almost every time we go, our server is the same wonderful guy. read more

I've eaten here several times and enjoy the food and prices. I was disappointed yesterday, 11/22, with a TO GO order. I should have checked order as it was wrong . Unfortunately I didn't notice until I was home. I ordered the Souvlaki Platter with lamb. I paid for additional chicken. My order was incorrect. The lamb was pork and there were no French fries. Check your orders before leaving. read more

Server was rude and did not greet us. Food was okay and everything is outrageously priced. 5 dollars for a fountain drink and a 2 dollar fee to share food. Will not be back. read more

Wow! Great Greek food! Stopped in because I'm new to FOCo and wanted to try something new. I was not disappointed. I got the gyro platter with fries and everything was tasty! Fresh salad, juicy gyro meat, soft bread, and crispy fries! My only complaint if you can call it that would be that my beverage came out after my dinner, though dinner came out in probably 3 minutes, so that makes Up for it. Great experience, tasty food, will Definitely be back read more

Not enough staff to support their customers. Went in, sat for 15 minutes, finally got someone and asked for a GF menu. The waiter didn't come back after another long wait so we left. read more

Good food and service. One of our favorite places to go when in Fort Collins. The Chicken Gyro is delicious and the fries and the best we've had. read more

Almost a year into a pandemic, most restaurants have mastered takeout... vent your good gosh darn fries! If you put hot fries in a styrofoam box the condensation makes them soggy! I appreciate hot food but a melted styrofoam container with soggy fries was disappointing! There was a decent amount of meat in the gyro platter, however the olives don't have the pits removed and the feta allotment was laughable. The falafel balls are half the size they should be and even though I ordered extra pita we still wished for more pita. Overall nothing is outlandish, but it's clear their business management is lacking. What're you doing giving me two servings of meat and skimping out on other items? read more

Cafe Athens - Greek Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Let me start by saying I've never gone to a sit down restaurant where your food was brought in a paper wrapper with the name, logo and nutritional facts printed on it. It looked like I sat down at a Runza. Second, the place is empty and it still took out server longer to bring us our check than it took to eat out food. ... Hummus was alright. read more

My family and I have been coming here since they opened, and even before when they were Runzios at foothills mall. I grew up on this food. Its delicious, amazing quantity, and great prices. Dont come without ordering the gyro meat, always. That and the tzatziki sauce together are like heaven! You'll never leave hungry. Ordered out for the first time this weekend, I only got the sampler platter (which you should always get) and the gyros platter. That food was enough for 5 meals (which I did HAVE to share with my family). Not to mention, they were so quick to have it prepped that I had to ask for more time because fort Collins traffic is now so outrageous (am I right??). The restaurant itself is nice, open, and bright. It can get a bit noisy. I love the views of the kitchen so I can drool while I wait. The staff has always been friendly and helpful as well. So people, I'd call this place the OG Greek restaurant of Fort Collins, the flagship if you will. So please, enjoy! read more

Cafe Athens - A ridiculous amount of food for under 30 bucks. The sampler and gyros platter! Delicious! - Greek Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Bland. Tasteless. Lacked flavor. Chicken was boiled, shredded, and not seasoned. Gyro meat was meh. Save your money.

This is their version of "calamari". Almost reminds me of a fish stick from the frozen section. Save your money and go ahead and choose a different appetizer ! read more

Cafe Athens - "calamari" - Greek Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

The food is so tasty. My salad is always crisp and fresh. Dani and Katie are always polite and keep up with everything.

Usually order pick up from here but decided to dine in with my boyfriend. While the food was really good, the service was nothing special. The waitress acted as if she couldn't care less about our table and practically slammed our drinks and food plates down when serving us. Not to mention we both almost choked on olives that were not pitted with no warning. read more

The food was not in the least Greek, just American. Greek salads do NOT have any kind of lettuce, but do have green pepper, and this restaurant served lots of greens with no green pepper. The so called tzatziki had no garlic taste, not even a good yogurt taste, no taste of cucumbers. I was very disappointed and will not return or recommend this as a place to eat. read more

First of all, during Covid when our area was under a mask mandate absolutely none of the cooks at this restaurant were wearing a mask. This is irresponsible and dangerous at a place disseminating food to people. In addition, the food was not fresh and had obviously been sitting under a heat lamp. The falafel was ok and the only reason they didn't get a 1. It felt more like a hospital cafeteria or something like that rather than a proper restaurant. I'd recommend Petra Grill or Garbanzos for better similar food. The potatoes were swimming in oil and rubbery. read more
