Service was nice, but I paid money to eat. The food was not good. Last I had tried it was bout a year ago, and was eating it every few months, and it was very good. Now not so much. What we ordered was Tasteless at best. Chicken Salad Gyro plate Falafel and hummus... It read more

Great food - locally owned- they treat you like family-wow. Will be back soon!!! My goto spot great hours read more

Food is fresh and tastes amazing! I would say the price is right. While waiting for my order I had fun watching the grill chefs!

I think the health department needs to pay a visit to this place. They are storing their lettuce/salad bin right next to the heated rotisserie in plain sight of the customers. A big no no. Cold items need to be kept separate and temperature regulated. Only a matter of time before somebody gets sick. I don't know if Lafayette parish has health department ratings for restaurants, but it would be good to have the "A grade" posted in plain sight. I do like their food and it is a good value, but they need education as to proper food handling. read more

A small place with decent food and the attention from the people servicing your orders. Prices are very affordable and the serving sizes are big. read more

Changed gas station food for me forever. I live out west now and have yet to find a Greek/Lebanese place that satisfies like Athena's. It's convenient (obviously haha) and way reasonably priced. Don't get gas without getting Athena's. Unless you're budgeting, then only get it every-other time you fill up gas. read more

This gas station (which also has food) intentionally rips people off. Sign advertised regular at $4.29. There is NO SIGNAGE that says it a cash price. I had driven by a few times running errands and checked the sign carefully to make sure it didn't say "cash price" anywhere. I drove well out of my way to buy gas here because of the price advertised. After pumping gas on a credit card I realized I had paid $4.39/gallon. I went inside and they said "that's the cash price". "But your sign says $4.29, it does not say anything about it being a cash price". "It's on the pump when you start pumping". "Your sign is supposed to have the correct price, it's a state law" "We don't have access to a sign that says "cash price" (OMG what BS). You're supposed to look at the pump". "I didn't look on the pump, I looked at your sign." "Then that's your fault" they told me. Oooh, it's the customers fault.... Illegal, misleading gas price signage, plus employees with rude, obnoxious attitudes. They obviously have this argument with customers on a regular basis. Don't do business with these thieves. read more

It's a gas station take out place, whaddaya want? Food is decent, service is passable, prices seemed reasonable I guess. You get hummus and bread even if you get just the gyro sandwich. Hummus was... not that great. But the sandwich was decent. Not amazing or anything, but slightly better than what you would expect for gas station food. read more

My cousin and I went here for a quick bite to eat. Just like those hole-in-the-wall dive bars that exceed your expectations, Athena is so much better than its gas station location would lead you to believe. It's definitely a unique experience. The food is really good, and the serving sizes are huge, especially for the price. I had the beef/lamb gyro, which was very tasty. It came with a salad and pita and hummus. My cousin got the chicken shwarma salad. That is some of the best chicken I've ever had. The food was well-seasoned and tasty. I recommend this place! read more

Absolutely love this location. Food is always hot and so good! Quick service! Eat here a lot as it's right next to my workplace.

This was my first time at this location(3-30-13). We ordered the Athena's Dinner Special for 2 to go. It consisted of (Gyros, Chicken Shawarma,Beef and Lamb Shawarma, Hummus, Grecian dip, two kibby, two meat grape leaves and two feta salads). Yes it is located inside of a Citgo gas station. Don't let this stop you from trying this hidden gem. For under $20 dollars I really can't complain. The amount of food we got for 2 was more then enough. (Still have leftovers) The, Chicken Shawarma was ridiculously good. I could have eaten just that and would've been happy. The rest of the items were really good also. My only complaint is that the flat bread they provided was a little chewy. No problem I had some really good flat bread at home. Bottom line I will most definitely try this place again. read more

Best Greek restaurant in the city. I take people from out of state here and they are like WOW. Great prices too

Real solid on the basics- chicken was perfectly spiced, cooked and moist. Hummus was strong tahini flavor which was perfect.

Wind up eating in a gas station. For some reason this place made me think of Frank zappa. This restaurant is located in a gas station. Go figure. The food is excellent and authentic Greek lebanese food. Everything we had was great and we had a wide variety. Greek salad taboole stuffed grape leaves falafel tziki. Please excuse the spelling. There are clean tables inside. Everything served in Styrofoam but oooooh so good. And baklava for desert. Large portions and econmical too. read more

Athena Express - Gyro Sandwich in mid consumption. - Greek Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Best Greek food in Lafayette hands down! You'd be surprised, but this is the best gas station food I have ever eaten! It is my go to when I'm not feeling something fried. It's very fresh and the employees are sure to pile your plate with food. I always order the Chicken Salad with the dressing on the side. I feel like they drench it in too much dressing, so I like to do it myself. The portions are big enough to eat for two meals. Which I usually do that. If you're looking for good Greek food then this is the place to go!! I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I will definitely be back! read more

Never disappoints.. recently decided to return to planted based diet and the vegetarian plate was very satisfying

Athena Express is located in a Citgo gas station off of Kaliste Saloom. For a Greek & Lebanese restaurant in a gas station, their food quality is really good. I often eat here for lunch and I've yet to have a bad meal. Their prices are cheap, the service is quick, and the food is good. It's about what you would expect for a express Greek & Lebanese food place in a gas station. If you are with someone that is craving something other than Greek & Lebanese food there is also a Krispy Krunchy Chicken inside. read more

Athena Express - Combo plate with tabouli - Greek Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

This is our usual spot to get our chicken salad since they're ALWAYS quick and tastey! The recipe has changed, I find. Still good but not as good! I do love it here bc the lettuce is always fresh and never wilted! My reviews: Chicken salad: Tastes good but not as good as they used to, they now add raw onions and olives which isn't bad but my husband hates it. Falafel plate: LOVE it here. I've never once ordered and wasn't happy. They never over fry it so it's hard or dry. Their tsaziki (so sorry I spelled his wrong) is great! Hummus : I just love hummus and it's hard to mess this up for me! Good food, fast service! read more

The go-to spot in Lafayette. I basically eat here every day while I'm in town, sometimes twice a day. Fast, delicious and huge portions for the money. Can't beat it. read more

I have been a regular at the Athena on Ambassador for several years. Today I am at a hospital near this location with a family member so I decided to get a plate to go. It was amazing. Great job guys. read more

Quality, quantity and connivence. Just a great spot for quick great food. I've been there multiple times with no regrets. Always reliable and tasty food. Check it out!! Amazing that it's in the back of a gas station. read more

The best food ever!!! I love their salad and I hate salads but I love their salad! The food is always so good,plus the owners and staff are super friendly. read more

If you order a gyro sandwich, it comes with a salad and hummus. It will literally feed a person for 3 meals. Ask for an extra pita to make more gyros. I've also had the combo plate entree and it fed me for a few meals as well. If you get an order of hummus or another appetizer with the combo plate, it'll feed 3 people. Love this place!!!! Make sure you check to see if the check out counter furthest from the door is open bc you'll get a line at the counter closest to the door even though there's more than one cashier. read more

Total hole in the wall convenience store but in the back is the most amazing Greek food!!! The sample plate(gyro,shawarma, salad, rice and hummus and pita weigh abt 3lbs. Easily enough for 2 and is under $10!!! The spinach pie ( spanakopita) was greasy but once I put in paper towels for a bit it was simply heaven!! Heaven I tell you. Don't let appearances fool you!! Find this place when you are in Lafayette and get some amazing food!! This hole in the wall, gas station Greek food is the best!! read more

I've been regularly ordering at this place since I moved to Lafayette over a year ago. I always get the chicken shawarma plate and it's so good. You get a salad, hummus, flatbread, rice, and grilled chicken that is shaved off the vertical rotisserie. The flavor is so good and can't stop eating it. Too bad it's not so cheap anymore since they've increased the dinner plates to $8.50, but I still come and order it anyway. Don't let the facade deter you since it's inside a gas station. It is Athena express but they do have some tables and chairs inside should you decide to dine in. I always order mine to go. read more

Best Lebanese/Greek food in Lafayette. Better than the sit down restaurant of the same name, and about half the price. 5 stars because it is the best under $10 meal in town, I believe. Fast and delicious. read more

The best Mediterranean in Lafayette. I would not pick any other. The fact that it's inside a gas station means nothing. There's barely any seating and sometimes has long lines. It's all worth it. The food is that good. The combination plate with lamb and chicken shawarma with extra pita bread accompanied with the fried Halloumi cheese is my favorite. I have been going here since 2007. read more
