    Great place for breakfast. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. Ordered the chopped steak and eggs along with grits, biscuits, and Greek coffee. Food is delicious, and biscuit is huge. Greek coffee is similar to Greek coffee. It is guaranteed to wake you up. I finished all of it except biscuit and grits. Also, I ordered a cheesecake. Did not get to finish it, and it is phenomenal. Plenty of parking. Place is generally packed all the time. Cannot wait to return.

    Take out orders are not their favorite. I order 2 lunches . it should've came with the choice baked potatoes or mashed potatoes. Plus a salad.. They didn't ask which one I wanted and no salad included.. they just hung up. I think the mashed potatoes were instant it had no flavor.. The worst service and dull food ever. Never going back. It was drowned in gravy.

    Great breakfast place. Friendly, clean, great customer service. Breakfast is fantastic from bacon and eggs to pancakes and waffles. To chicken fried steak and almost anything Greek you need. The place is a spot on perfect little diner for anytime meal.

    Not bad. Food quality is good and the service is great. The atmosphere is lacking but it is clean! Will be back, especially for breakfast.

They have a good amount of tables so even though there were a lot of people there it didn't feel packed. Our server was great! He was a bartender inside and worked our group of about 16 people at the same time. We never lacked for drinks or food at all. Our area had at least 3 TVs so I was able to catch every sporting event that was going on while hanging out, it was a great time. I tried the steak fingers and some crawfish, both were great! The steak fingers had nice crisp to them and the crawfish was boiled well and had good flavor. Every drink I tried was delicious, I tried a margarita and could have kept sipping those but opted to go with draft beer instead. There are so many menu options I definitely want to come back to try more food and drinks. They have an area with a pool table and darts, it looked nice but I didn't hang out there. Bathrooms were pretty clean and readily available, no lines even when the place was packed. They also have plenty of parking.

    I wish there was an option for 0/5 stars. Do yourself a favor and just drive right by this place…read moreand don't bother stopping in. It has no redeemable qualities whatsoever. The service was horrible, we sat there being passed by at least 6 different servers for the first 15 mins with no acknowledgment, no drinks and not even handed menus at the very least. When we finally got to order it took at least 30 mins to get to us. The mozzarella sticks are straight out of a freezer bag, you can tell, and the spinach wrap was soggy. Not even that, I asked for no avocado because I'm allergic and what did I find at the very bottom of it? Exactly that. So clearly they don't care about allergies! We were never checked on, any time we needed something (like a drink) we had to flag someone down. Even to pay the bill we had to go through 3 people to track down whoever was supposed to be our server. The servers were unpleasant as well, they were too busy talking to eachother to even know what's going on. I will never step foot inside of this place again, coming here in the first place was a huge mistake. Like I said, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else. I bet the Denny's down the street would serve you better than this place ever could.

(Great place, the owners are fantastic, and if you have not been by there, why not? ) Back to the brewery. I was pleasantly surprised by this visit. Perhaps it was because it was after dark, the place was nicely lit, and we sat at the bar. The first time in was in the cold light of day, the place felt like a high school cafeteria and we all turned around and bounced right on out of there. Night time, the cosy lighting, and sitting at the bar with the restaurant (cafeteria feel) behind you is so much better. I found their service lacking for the lack of patrons in the place. Our glasses were empty for far longer than they should have been and we had to wait on our check to leave. The servers did appear to have great conversations with each other at the other end of the bar. Perhaps being more mindful of their customers would be more appropriate. The pluses are the Blueberry Blonde was as good as I remembered and we were introduced to Celtic Cross mead which led to a visit to their meadery. Would I come back? Yes. Whenever I feel called upon to partake of a Blueberry Blonde and when it is evening to avoid that high school cafeteria feel of the place.

The manager even came to the table next to us and straightened the silverware then walked off. So, I will share our experience with all of you guys. Here goes: +Our server got 5-STARS. Nick was very attentive and tried to make things right--which was impossible. +The restaurant is very nicely appointed, and it looks over the marina. - The food--everything served--was inedible even if one person did eat their overcooked fish dish. The Lobster Bisque was clearly plated early so it arrived at the table with a film on top and was warm not hot. I sent it back and it came out warm again! My husband was hungry so ate the bisque anyway. A salmon dish came out way over cooked. My husband ordered the Rack of Lamb medium rare. When served it looked like little lollipops. When he tried to cut the lamb it was so burned that the bone broke. The meat was well done burned.We left there and finally had dinner at another restaurant. It goes without saying that we will not have dinner there ever again. Maybe Happy Hour which is always good!

I honestly would've preferred to have my leftovers from brunch than the dinner we had here. It was a Monday and they were not busy AT ALL so we knew that our service should be top notch... and it was! However, we stood around at the hostess stand for about 3-4 minutes before we even saw the hostess. She asked if we had reservations - which we did - and sat us immediately after asking if we'd prefer a booth or a table. We opted for a table and while my husband had no issues, I found the chairs to be uncomfortable. It could be because I have short legs, but either way... that's just personal preference and has no effect on the rating of my review. Our server, Miguel, was great! He was helpful and attentive, and he even took a few pictures of us for our anniversary. He had some recommendations and took the time to answer any questions. 5/5 stars for him. The food was kind of the let down here. I'm the kind of person who looks at pictures, reads reviews, looks into places to see where to set my expectations, etc. I'm not a picky eater whatsoever so I knew exactly what I was walking into... or so I thought. They give you bread and oil as an appetizer. Usually this is delicious, but there was some seasoning in it that tasted really weird. Thankfully it was only in one side of the dish so we just avoided that particular spice and ate around it. The artichoke Claremont was nasty. I love artichokes and I was excited to try this. My husband was hesitant from the beginning and I wish we would've gotten something else. The hollandaise was thick and chunky, the artichoke wasn't tender except for the very deep inside of it. The heart was the only part that I somewhat enjoyed. My husband didn't like any of it. Our entrees were good. My husband got a Caesar Salad and Gumbo and I got the Opus Pasta. He was very happy with his food and while mine was good, I ended up eating the asparagus by itself instead of with the pasta because I liked the pasta better with no asparagus. The dessert was good. 5/5 - no notes. Will I come back? Probably not unless someone else wants to go for a birthday or something. I had an enjoyable evening with my husband at Opus, but I did not particularly enjoy the food and I wouldn't put this high on my list of places to go.

Because this meal really hit the spot…read more --- --- --- I've had Athena's bookmarked for a while now, as my parents live in Friendswood, and thought this would be a great place to try when visiting them. The stars finally aligned and I was able to meet them here recently. My mom wanted to order some dolomades to start off, and I'm not really a big fan, so I just figured those would be all her. But she offered to let me try one, and I can easily say that these were the best dolomades I've ever had. She agreed. I have no idea what they do to make these not taste so "sharp" like they usually do, but these were really unbelievable. For my appetizer, and I went with a beef/lamb gyro and it was everything you want in a gyro. Soft pita bread, non-gamey meat and everything in between. The greek salad that came with it was pretty underwhelming, but I ordered a side of greek fries too, and those were what I was hoping they'd be. We finished off by ordering a few desserts to share. I went with the strawberry cheesecake as the one I was mostly focused on, and loved it. This is definitely not a frozen cheesecake - they make them in-house and it's obvious when you take your first bite. I understand why Athena's Corner has such great reviews and hope to be back!
