    NY System Hot Weiners "all the way" with mustard, meat sauce, celery salt and raw onion
    Nikki N.

    My husband lives for NY System Hot Weiners when we visit Rhode Island. We made a stop for them as we were headed out of town, and he enjoyed them as always! The new location is nice and welcoming, and I think its great they brought the booths over from the original shop.

    Finally, I don't have to wait for a Greek festival to have some authentic Greek food! It was promising the moment we parked, seeing the huge lunch rush. The line was almost out the door, though it went by in a couple of minutes. There's a menu on the counter where you order, and the service was great, helping you with whatever caught your eye in the hot bar. We ordered every other thing. We sat down, and I loved the classic local feel of the place. We ended up with gyros, Greek salad, grape leaves, fries, and spinach pie. Our highlight was the gyros; they had great gyro meat and reminded me of some of my favorites. The Greek salad was great, and so were the crispy fries. The fries reminded me of diner fries, if anyone can relate. You can help yourself to the condiment bar where I sprinkled cheese and drizzled ketchup on the fries. I found the grape leaves a little too soggy but still a fine bite. They also had Jarritos, and the mandarin one was a great pairing (my favorite!). Lastly, the spinach pie, which was another highlight that packed great flavors. As a kid who hated spinach, this dish will likely win you over too. In an area filled with chains and fast food, this was a refreshing local treat. Be sure to stop in and fill up to your heart's content at this affordable restaurant.

    Friendly staff and good food at an incredible price point. It's hard to find quality food at an affordable price these days, but Athenian Deli does it. Our group shared the stuffed bell pepper, skewer combo, and eggplant parm sandwich. Everybody loved their food. Try the Pastel De Nata for dessert. I could eat those all day long! Tony came out and gave my kids a peanut butter cookie, which they loved as well.

    Freshest food you'll find. Always delicious , rotating specials & best hot dogs in Rhode Island. Service is fast and always accommodating. The new restaurant has the same charm as the old location but much more space and better parking solutions. From bbq ribs to Greek salads , 10/10 you won't be disappointed

    Stuffed pepper with beef and mixed veggies combined.

    Winner! Winner!! Grecian Dinner!!! Tasty stuffed pepper with stewed veggies and wonderful white rice. Paid a little over $22 and this included two drinks and a small bag of chips.

    Took waaaayyy too long to try this place out! From the outside it is nothing to behold, but step in and the delicious smell hits you in the face and makes you salivate. Mmmmmm, wow. Step up to the counter on your right, place your order, grab a table and they will call you when the order is ready. There is a menu overhead, behind the counter and paper menus are available on the counter. Or just peruse the cases to see what's on offer that day. They have 'regular' menu items and 'daily' items ready to go in the warming trays behind the counter. Daily specials include Monday meatloaf, Tuesday stuffed pork chip, Friday baked scrod and so on. Every day dishes include baked macaroni & cheese, Shishkebob, lasagna, soups, salads and sandwiches. There are so many options it took us a while to decide and we definitely need to go back to try more. We placed a take away order (.40 surcharge per local ordinance) of way more food than we could eat in one sitting. I enjoyed the gyro: a veal/lamb loaf on a grilled pita w/tzatziki, tomato and onion. The spinach pie was very filling; definitely enough for a quick, hand held lunch. The pastry is very flaky and it is stuffed with spinach, ricotta and feta. My preference would be more spice, still it was good and I hoovered that thing. The marinated beef plate was very good. The meat tender, the rice tasty. Putting my salad in a separate container would have been nice to keep it cool. I ordered a side of tzatziki and this stuff is *loaded* with garlic! Wow! If you love your tzatziki with lots of garlic, you will *love* this version! Everything we tried was well prepared and tasty. I look forward to our next order.

We started with the cold appetizer platter, which was served with fresh bread that was perfect for dipping. The baba ghanouj and tzatziki were especially flavorful and delicious. The hummus was good as well, though it does contain cumin, so keep that in mind if you're not a fan. The platter included one spicy dip, but the staff were very accommodating and happily substituted it with a mixed eggplant salad, which was excellent. For our entrées, we ordered the chicken shish kebab plate and lahmacun. The chicken was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The plate came with rice, a fresh salad with a wonderful pomegranate molasses flavor, and fire-roasted tomatoes and jalapeños. The rice was also very good. The lahmacun was outstanding--served in three pieces, making it perfect for sharing, and accompanied by fresh vegetables including tomatoes, greens, onions, and parsley. For dessert, we enjoyed the Turkish rice pudding and Turkish coffee. The rice pudding was sweet, refreshing, and served cold, exactly as it should be. The food, service, and overall experience were excellent. Everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared, and my wife and I will definitely be coming back again.

And then the waitress tried to persuade me to pay her in cash. There was a screaming baby around the corner, surrounded by people smoking hookahs. The owner kept begging me to come join them, but it just didn't feel right at the time. He really, really wanted me to smoke. And I'm not sure why. I liked the Whitney Houston "I'm Your Baby Tonight" poster by the handwashing station. And the beef shawarma was okay, I guess.
