★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mar Fan · Feb 2026

The soup was amazing. The BLT was good. The fries were underdone and no flavor. Service was terrible. Saw our waitress only when she took our order, when she dropped off the food, and when she dropped off the bill. She never came back and asked if we needed anything, never checked on drinks/coffee, never asked how things were. I had to flag down the young hostess to get a coffee refill. No one paying attention to anything as I kept trying to get someone's attention to get one coffee refill. My friends got breakfast and the toast and home fries were way too dark/burnt. I'd come back here to get soup to go, but would not go here for breakfast again due to the dismal service.

The food is fantastic! The host and waitresses are all so friendly and wonderful! Everyone that comes in is treated like part of the family. The best Greek food around and I highly recommend the rice pudding. Delicious!

Came here for dinner as I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised by how great the food was. The special Greek dinner was huge, with plentiful fresh salad (great dressing!), excellent gyros. We also got the steak and cheese sub which was very good! The kids cheeseburger and fries was large but basic. Service was lovely. Prices reasonable. Would absolutely come again.

This is my third time at Atena's. I live out of town. The food is always good and reasonably priced. Today, I had the italian omelet with italian bread. Everything was delicious. My only complaint is that I was walking in with a cane, and the lady sat me at the furthest table away from the door. I know I could have said something but was curious if she would have any empathy. When people come in limping or with a walker or cane, please sit them closer to the door. A man, a veteran sitting at a table near me was limping, and they sat him far away, too. My waitress was great checking on me often.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Hope Rice · Jan 2026

Greeted by a less than warm young lady who tossed our menus down on the table. We ordered Greek fries. They were French fries covered in cold feta with a side of Greek dressing. I ordered a Greek salad and asked to hold the pepperocini. Folks, this Greek salad comes with ONE GREEK OLIVE ON TOP and half a pita. There's nothing else Greek about this salad... except another mound of feta. The restaurant calls it an "open garden" salad. What... what IS that? I asked for Greek salad. Garden isn't even in the conversation. The gyro was built upside down or something. Veggies on bottom.... and guess what...a mound of feta... and then the meat with almost no tzaziki. Perhaps try Olympic or Olympia instead.
