The very time we ordered. The person stood right there and looked at us and got the order wrong. Plus there was hair in my breakfast sandwich. Should of stopped there, but I continued to patronize them. Second time food was good third time. We ordered chicken wings. They were undercooked and we couldn't even fix them.I took them pack and the girl was nasty in telling me that as long as there wasn't any blood that the chicken was done? I'm no ma'am! The chicken want bleeding but still wasn't tender, IT WASN'T DONE! We will NEVER buy a thing else from here.

I made a order to pick up food was good. But tell me why they never open I've gone there many times they always closed. So what's the deal.

The food is great but the service is horrendous! Also they NEVER answer their phones and if they do it’s after 5 calls. Aside from that the food is really good and if you can look past the service then I’d say go.

Great place for the late bite after a days work, ordered the steak dinner medium, I thought I'd have the onion and mushrooms to go with. Steak was a bit overcooked. Still will go back for my favorite Chicken Lemon pasta dish there!

We have came here before but we left after 30 minutes of waiting to be seated. The food was good but the service wasn't. We waited around 10-15 minutes before getting asked what we wanted to eat. We weren't asked if we wanted a beverage we had to ask for ones ourselves. By the time we finished our food, the server came back apologizing and asking us if we still wanted our drink. Very disappointed in the service but i did enjoy the food so ill give it that.

Bill White, my father passed away at age 86 the night before Thanksgiving. He wanted to be early for the banquet in eternity with those he loved who preceded him in death. My dad was a faithful customer for many years, often sitting at the counter and enjoying his meals, including his special with tropical fruit while wearing his Teamsters Jacket. His dry humor and wit will be missed. Here is a photo of him as a younger man, where he volunteered to keep the community safe after a long day on the road as a local haul teamster. My dad will be missed by all who knew him.Kid-friendliness: We have five children and we enjoyed bringing the kids whenever we were in town visiting and eating a meal.Parking: Great location, easy access with parkingDietary restrictions: My dad just loved the food and more importantly, the customer service as the staff were a part of his extended family.

Athena's Restaurant presents a warm, cozy, and family oriented dining environment. They seem to specialize in the preparation of breakfast and lunch. They have a constant flow of people on the weekends. All the food is prepared to order and arrives to your table hot and fresh. Their portions are enough for two. There will certainly be leftovers ? for later. I never order grits for breakfast when dining out. I like mines, salted, creamy, buttery, and with cheese. I took a chance after looking over on someone else table. I was surprised. I was able to add salt, butter, and cheese which reminded me of my own. I ordered scrambled eggs, chop steak, and Greek toast. Everything was tasted amazingly ? ?

You mean Ted's? What happened to Ted's? I haven't been here since cvid19 happened. Went on 10-23-22Ordered the T-bone steak medium well,eggs(scramble)hash brown chrispy.My eggs tasted horrible and had a brownish Hugh to it and usually they are a milkish white in color. My hash brown aka American fries also tasted horrible I requested it to be cooked crispy but nope and they had this bad taste not as bad as the eggs, now my T-bone... I originally wanted a NY steak but they no longer serve it here. The T-bone was served o. A separate plate as I expected and how they always have. It had lots after Juice from the meat that was probably case it was frozen so it was probably water. Can't really say. The flavor of the meat tasted as if it was freezer burned then microwave and it was sitting in that microwave Juice. I don't use steak sauce on my steak cause you should never use steak sauce to add flavor to your meat(nohomo).I took a bite it had that refrigerator freezer taste so i used a1 steak sauce and again tok a nice bite and it was still that bad! I didn't want to make a scene cause I'm in my transitional stage where I'm trying to avoid conflict and not go to the big house. So I just took it home to feed the dogs. If I don't like it I won't eat it.My son ate the eggs and was in their toilet ralphing.The good the sever was very attentive the coffee was surprisingly deso and my orange juice was deso too.And the table clean up person James.... guess what?..... he's still there 20 years and if I may say he is a good worker busting his six .. make sure if you go you say hi.Would I recommend this joint? Yea after a fat a55 joint if you got the munchies.. till then bring back the old "Ted's Family Restaurant!"Take care, be safe Peeps!

If I could I would give zero Stars this place was great before the new owners took over. I ordered a great skillet there wasn't even 1 oz of meat on the skillet. I couldn't eat my food garbage flies everywhere flying around my plate. I can only imagine what's going on in the kitchen highly not recommended
