    Pizza just okay. Too much cheese topping and not enough of the other ingredients. I really wanted to like this place but after getting pizza a couple of times, I probably won't be going back.

    Walked over here to try. Everything was really good and super chill here during the summer. The waiter(s) was super cool and kind about ordering. Helped us out a whole lot. Got the special Athen's pizza and the spaghetti with meatballs. Cooked to perfection and deliciousness. Even my dad enjoyed the food. Thanks for a great time! Would come back again with better transportation instead of walking. :)))

    Athens 14" pizza was very good.
    Frank D.

    I live in Wesley homes in the north end of Des Moines and wanted to grab a quick pizza. Athens is about as close as it gets, right in the heart of Des Moines on Marine View Drive. I ordered an Athens 14" over the phone and it was ready in 15 minutes on a Friday night about 7:30PM. The restaurant is in a small strip of three stores next to a vape shop. The inside is very spartan and not very inviting with harsh fluorescent lights so I am not inclined to want to eat-in there. The pizza was ready on time and when I got it home, I briefly reheated the slices in my microwave and it was very good. The other menu selections looked interesting. We had 4 slices each and had 4 slices left over so the 10" would probably be more than enough for 2 people.

    Pastrami Grinder.

    A friend of mine introduced me to the BEST grinder sandwich I've ever had. I didn't know I liked pastrami until I had this one. Bread is toasted perfectly and a wonderful combination of flavors for each bite. Staff is always friendly.

    Still just as amazing! How more people don't know about Athens, I'll never know! Crave-worthy food! Family-style service.

    Baked Ravioli with Meatballs in Marinara Sauce
    My L.

    All right, I saw the previous bad reviews but was told by a reliable source that their baked lasagna is legit good! So I came in with my friend during weekday lunch hours. My friend got the baked lasagna and I chose the meatball ravioli in marinara sauce. Now , these entrees are reasonably priced ($15.95 per) and also come with a side of salad/ soup and garlic bread. We opted only for garlic breads. The meals came out in pretty large portions and piping HOT! Everything was well seasoned with a little kick to it. Ravioli was cooked well but not soggy-soft. My friend's lasagna was perfect according to him. Garlic breads were fresh and crispy, but I didn't taste much garlic to them at all unfortunately. Service was very friendly and attentive as well. All in all, I will come back. It's a decent spot if you're ever craving some semi Italian comfort food.

    one star service. ordered over $50 worth of food for pick up, my server was jazmin, on 8/26/24 around 7pm, we ordered spaghetti and salad, and Jazmin our server gave us zero utensils. actually how do you expect us to wat spaghetti and salad with zero utensils? one star service. Jazmin needs to be retrained or fired and whoever hired jazmin needs to really reconsider who they hire on their team. one star service.

    Snack Gyro in Burien was a really solid spot when I was craving Mediterranean food. It's right up…read morethe street from where my husband works, so I had him grab me a gyro plate for lunch. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal. The rice was great, the gyro meat was flavorful, and the tzatziki was really good. I got the lunch portion, which was good, but I do wish I had gone with the dinner size--definitely doing that next time since I want to try their hummus. The salad was the only part that was a little off for me. It seemed like the veggies hadn't been dried very well, so there was quite a bit of water sitting at the bottom. It also had pickles in it, which was interesting--but I actually didn't mind that part since I like pickles anyway. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because my husband's order wasn't made correctly. He ordered a similar plate with chicken and specifically asked for no salad and no tzatziki, and it was even confirmed when he ordered. But when he got home, both were still on his plate, which was frustrating for him. Aside from that, the food itself was really good. I'd definitely order from here again--and next time, I'm going for the Dinner Plate

Filled with toppings and a yummy dressing. Fries are always perfect. Fresh ingredient's, must try it. We always get orders to go. So I can't speak on service or ambiance but they never get our order wrong so I would say service is good.

It doesn't even compare when I have to grab it from anywhere else when I'm away. The veggies, the sauce, the meat- everything well portioned and flavored perfectly.

I figured this would one of the better options than the other restaurants at Kent Station. When we entered, we saw that we had to go to the counter to order. They had some interesting signs, one of the more bizarre ones was no talking on speaker phone but I could understand that too. They had decent music playing that fits the vibes of the place well. The mural they had was gorgeous. When we went to the counter, the cashier just took our order. No real service which was unfortunate as that was the only thing I had an issue with especially with how not busy it was. They had two tables of customers and a steady-ish flow of take out customers. My boyfriend got us a gyro plate for me and a gyro meal (a canned drink and a choice of side) for him while I ordered a side order of falafel. I was getting anxious about our food as it was taking much longer than I thought. Additionally, they call out your number so you have to get your food. After more than 10-15 minutes, we received our food. The food was pretty good. The tzatziki sauce was flavorful and added a nice refreshing palate with the salad, pita, and meat. I wish there was a bit more onion in the salad as it felt like two or three pieces. There were also some hard pieces of rice that was super unpleasant for me as I really dislike that mixed in with the good parts of the rice. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal and had no real complaints. They do have complimentary water. Overall a good spot if you're in the area with limited time or craving Mediterranean food.
