    Beef & Lamb Gyro Plate
    Brett N.

    Why 5 stars? Because this meal really hit the spot. --- --- --- I've had Athena's bookmarked for a while now, as my parents live in Friendswood, and thought this would be a great place to try when visiting them. The stars finally aligned and I was able to meet them here recently. My mom wanted to order some dolomades to start off, and I'm not really a big fan, so I just figured those would be all her. But she offered to let me try one, and I can easily say that these were the best dolomades I've ever had. She agreed. I have no idea what they do to make these not taste so "sharp" like they usually do, but these were really unbelievable. For my appetizer, and I went with a beef/lamb gyro and it was everything you want in a gyro. Soft pita bread, non-gamey meat and everything in between. The greek salad that came with it was pretty underwhelming, but I ordered a side of greek fries too, and those were what I was hoping they'd be. We finished off by ordering a few desserts to share. I went with the strawberry cheesecake as the one I was mostly focused on, and loved it. This is definitely not a frozen cheesecake - they make them in-house and it's obvious when you take your first bite. I understand why Athena's Corner has such great reviews and hope to be back!

    Vegetarian sampler meal. The spanakopita was soooo good.

    I was in town for some training and chose to go to Athena's Corner as I was staying nearby. It was some of the best food of any genre that I have had in quite a while. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, and the service was top-notch with frequent (but not intrusive) check-ins. I will definitely stop In again when I am in town, and possibly take advantage of their half price bottle of wine special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

    I've never been so happy! Our kid even ate the green beans without prompting! 10/10 Service was on point. Felt at home.

    I chose Athena's for my birthday meal and it did not disappoint! Always a great choice. We got the gyro plate, a chicken kabob plate and vegetarian plate as an appetizer. Rounded it out by sharing a lemon marscapone cake that was so light and refreshing. Everything was fresh and delicious! Jackie was our waitress and did a great job. Place is always clean and pleasant with the traditional Greek white and blue decor.

    When you leave Athena's you leave with your belly full and a smile on your face knowing you had a great authentic meal! We tried the lamb chops and the slow cooked lamb AND moussaka because I just couldn't leave without trying it. Ms. Brandy let us know it was a big portion and she was right! We took two bites and had to pack it to go. Regardless it was delicious! We are excited to come back perhaps for their brunch such a nice and welcoming establishment I love the cleanliness :)

    We're back, and we couldn't be more excited! Join us this Wednesday for half-priced bottles of wine. It's the perfect excuse to savor delicious Greek food alongside a great glass of wine. Honestly, what could be better? Go and enjoy every moment!

    Great food and great service, though the appetizers are a bit pricey for the amount you get.

All dinners come with a Greek garlic bread starter. I love their iced tea- fresh brewed and always good! The wine is Greek and seems a small bit pricey, but for the extra dollar or two it's worth it- Very delicious. Anything you get at Athena's is amazing so feel free to branch out on your choice. And the desserts are large and homemade! It's hard to save room though. You'll love the fish, steaks, and kebabs. They do a nice lunch sandwich- and still comes with the bread and a Greek salad. If you come on a weekend evening, you may run into the owner having the time of her life! And they take pride in serving the most sweet and ripe slice of melon with every dish. Started to enjoy this first each time I come. It is that delicious, but why can't I find fruit like that anywhere at a grocery store? Give this place a try. Yummy. Officially the authentic Greek restaurant without going overboard. Wait- the homemade 3 layer chocolate cake and the lemon cake! Actually bought a whole one for a large birthday party and everyone wanted to know the bakery name- just Athena's homemade cake! Remember, Greek food is fresh with best ingredients. Service is above that notch and family atmosphere with Greek music- always. But I do find I'm stopping in there solo all the time; others too! Say hello to Maria when you go, she loves to talk to her clients!

    I was on an overnight work trip and couldn't decide what I wanted for dinner, but knew it needed to…read morebe something that was somewhat healthy. I love Greek food, so I decided to try this place out. I was greeted when I approached the counter. I ordered the Gyro Plate to go. There wasn't anyone in the restaurant, so it was very clean and quiet. It took about 3 minutes for my order to be ready. My dinner came with a good size salad, rice pilaf, pita bread and the meat. The meat was delicious. They don't give much pita bread, so I'll order extra next time. The rice was "ok". I didn't like that it had red pepper flakes in it, making it a little spicier than I can stand. Overall, I like it. I did go back and got a gyro instead of the gyro plate and it was HUGE and delicious! I unfortunately didn't get a chance to take a picture because I was starving, so you'll have to trust the Teller of Truth!

    We came here for my Mom's birthday because our favorite Mediterranean restaurant closed and we…read moredecided to try something new. It wasn't what was hoping for... The food is good, and I knew that this was a counter service type of place rather than table service. Not a problem. It's just that when I go to a Greek restaurant, I want some Greek food options. I LOVE Greek food, and I get excited when I know it's coming. So I was underwhelmed with the menu. It's basically choose your meat and do you want rice, fries, or feta fries - which you should get. They do have some starters like different dips, dolmades, and spanakopita. As well as a Greek salad and rice bowls... but that's kind of it. Where is the moussaka, or the keftedes? Maybe this is more of a Greek street food type of place, but I was just a little underwhelmed by the options especially since we frequently make our own Gyros at home so I wanted something different. It was still good food though. I'm not sure I would go back unless someone in my family specifically wanted to eat here, but that's only because I would prefer different options. I WILL SAY, the guy behind the counter was working hard and attentive. He took our orders and as soon as one dish was up, he brought it over so it was fresh. If you go, you have to try the feta fries and the lemon potatoes. Yes, they're both potatoes, but they're both delicious. You could probably pass on the baklava. It's not the best I've had. The baklava ice cream was good, but I wouldn't get it again. I was really hoping that they'd have some Loukoumades for dessert, but alas, they did not. The takeaway is that this is more like a Greek fast food and while it's good, it's not big on the options. Worth a try if you're new to Greek food, but not worth it if you love many different options. My mom was happy and that's all that matters since it was her birthday. For those who care to know, the bathroom seemed clean, the restaurant was clean and bright, the one guy behind the counter was great... and that pretty much sums it up.

Having worked in restaurants before, I'm a bit more sensitive towards restaurant workers needing to break down, clean up, close down, and go home. I'm never one to go in five minutes to closing and order a meal. My buddy says, "They're open, let's get some food." "They look like they're getting ready to close. No customers. No wait, they look like they're still cooking. Let's see what they got." We went in and were greated like long lost family. They were so nice and welcoming. We ordered gyros and rice to go. The food was fantastic! Everything cooked perfectly. Definitely going back.

So the tzatziki sauce and hummus spilled everywhere which I don't think is a problem with the driver. It's a problem with the restaurant putting more liquid items in Styrofoam containers.. They also put a salad with a dressing on top which made the lettuce very soggy. Just a very lazy way of packaging to go order. Please take this feedback for better food quality, especially for to go orders. Don't use Styrofoam containers for white items and don't put dressing on top of the lettuce.
