First of all, I give this restaurant 5 stars for the food as everything I have received has been freshly made, great tasting and the portions are huge especially in a time whereas everyone is cutting back.Second, this restaurant, owner and staff went above and beyond today (01/04/24) with exceptional customer service on a door dash order gone wrong. I placed an order and the staff called me to let me know the pasta was still cooking and it would be awhile and asked to sub another dish. I really wanted the dish I ordered so I tried to cancel the door dash order but couldn't and in the interim of waiting on my food, a dasher inadvertently canceled out food on my order. To my surprise the owner allowed me to pay him directly and he had one of his staff personally deliver the food. If that wasn't enough, he threw in extra food at his cost. This restaurant has all day breakfast and a huge variety of food on their menu, including vegetarian options. Go check them out!

Just had an absolute great meal. The meatloaf and the potatoes and green beans were fantastic. The strawberry shortcake dessert was phenomenal. I tried the soup and it was wonderful. My wife got a sandwich and the turkey on it was really good. Not some deli meat but real turkey. I can't wait to try all the different omelettes and breakfast items.

I wish it was good, but it's not. Great Greek Diner concept, but poor follow through. Very sad looking interior. The food was way too expensive for what you are getting. The home fries were good, but everything else was disappointing. Very low quality food. The service was good, but disorganized. I was hoping for a great beautiful delicious Greek diner experience, but was severely disappointed instead. Ownership needs to renovate, offer better prices, better quality, and they will succeed. If things continue as is I don't see this place operating more than a few months. Good luck.

No, sorry. If you don't know how to make pasticcio don't try and sell a pile of stove top ground beef heavy tomato sauce with a few penne pasta sloshed together unbaked all ground up. Not even close to pasticcio . Worse Wilted old salad. How do these restaurants stay in business. Disappointed

Athena's Cafe on River Hwy really hit the spot tonight. We both had breakfast (served all day!), and it was all so good. Eggs, French toast, pork chop, bacon, and biscuits and gravy. They also serve lunch and dinner, which we plan to try asap. Go and give them a try!
Don’t order saganaki, especially on a delivery platform - you’ll get 1/4-1/3 of portion size.

Great portions, food came out quick, and wide variety on menu. Enjoyed the Athena's breakfast platter.

I ordered the gyro plate. It was okay, but nothing to write home about. They were light on the meat. On par with Showmars.
