“Absolutely incredible meal! We tried both soups and they were absolutely perfect. I got the Lamb Gyro sandwich and my husband got the Falafel sandwich and they were both out of this world! The fries were amazing too, perfectly crispy. We will definitely be back soon!“
“On a whim while in Jax we decided to try this spot for lunch. I am so glad we stopped by Athens Cafe!! Service was excellent, food was amazing and the portion sizes were huge! There was plenty to share around the table so everyone got to try different things. Wonderfully done!“
“This was my first time experiencing this place and I must say it was a WIN! I started with something simple and I got the chicken shawarma plate. I was shocked with how big the portions are. You truly get alot of food. It was hot, fresh and very tasty. The pickled condiments were good, the garlic sauce was good and the grape leaves were amazing. I will be back to try more food for sure. The staff was also very friendly as well“
“This place is very unassuming from the outside. It is a busy but semi run down shopping center with a few other restaurants and an Indian grocer. The inside is really unique. Very warm and inviting but also exotic. I had a great lunch. I had a small greek salad and a bowl of lentil soup with a Saganaki appetizer. Sorry I did not photograph the Saganaki show. It was a beautiful table side flambé. The soup was delicious, the salad was fresh and refreshing, saganaki was sweet and salty in the best way. I will be back.“
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! I never leave reviews but the past two experiences I’ve had at this place, exceeded my expectations by far. It seems to be run by a very authentic Greek Family and it’s obvious when you eat anything from there. They are extremely hospitable, we ordered our food close to closing time, and the very friendly woman gave Extra pita bread and tzatziki sauce, as well as some baklava since They were about to close. The first time we went there we had the same friendly woman, who even offered us a taste of the lamb and weighed our food in front of us. The food is extremely fresh, and the taste is unmatched when it comes to authentic Greek food! I can’t say enough a good things about this place and I am definitely going to be a regular.“
“We decided to try something different for lunch today and we are happy we did! Nice small spot and extremely clean! Open kitchen makes your mouth water from the time you open the door. Counter ordering and they serve the food to your table. I didn’t review the menu prior to going so I stood there staring at the menu board drooling at every option they had. We ordered the Kabob plate and a Mediterranean pita with Mediterranean potato salad. Everything was fresh cooked and great portion sizes. The chicken was well seasoned, plump and tender. The steak was lightly seasoned with a delicious grilled flavor. The kabobs came with rice and peas and fresh grilled onions, peppers and tomatoes, yum, yum, and yum!The Pita was delicious stuffed with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, grilled chicken (same as kabobs), with taziki on the side, I did add some feta to the pita and it was xtra delicious. Now let’s talk about Mediterranean potato salad… never had it before today but I am sad that I have missed out on it all my life. It has fresh garlic, olive oil and other fresh ingredients, yes, you will have garlic breath after but all of the food leaves an aftertaste that makes you wish you could just eat more! Definitely must try this place out and pricing and portions are reasonable!Parking: There are a few stores in the plaza but it is definitely a bonus to have parking in San Marco“
“We love this place. Dining room is plain but clean. You don’t go here for the atmosphere. We usually share a Greek salad, an order of kibbe and a small hummus with pita. Very fresh, flavorful and plenty for two. We are looking forward to trying the swarma, kebabs and gyros on future visits. Seen others having those and they sure look good. Lots of folks coming in for take out but have never seen the dining room too crowded. Give it a try!“
